Paradise Valley Resort and Club
We are Georgia's premier clothing optional resort. We have been in business since 1978 and have been updating our resort and club in the last couple of years. We have a lot of long standing customers (members) of our club. Some of them like the old ways while others want to see us updated and get new/younger members. Our business has been seasonal. Most of our business takes place in the spring and summer for guests to relax by the pool. We are creating this new card to go after a new target to try and build up our winter business. We have mainly promoted our pool and special events, but we need to be known as a night club in North Georgia as well to build up our winter business. Although we are catering to a new market, we can't go too risque in our advertising.
New market, 21-40 year of age
Interested in night life, going out on weekends.
Ok with nudity, club music, dancing.
Enjoys drinking with friends, meeting new people.

Andrew Yamato at the Easter Parade, NY, April 2012
The Easter Bonnet Parade down Fifth Avenue in Manahattan is a wonderful tradition that I experienced for the first time just this year. The event's sole purpose seems to be to get people to dress up and strut about - and to celebrate spring. Flowers and costumes and spectators and bow ties and top hats and fancy dress. The best kind of get together!
Mr. Yamato's classic spectators
Young and old were out to show off their Sunday best. Just look at the duds on this fella!
These guys had suits made of what seemed to be pure polyester, which usually makes me depressed, but, hey, they looked great!
Pure vintage. Wonderfully unusual colors remind me of Miami Beach 1940s.

because we could all use a little help sometimes and because Play Matters!
We LOVE sensory boxes here.
When I made my first one with Oatmeal for "E" 7 years ago in 2004,
I didn't blog, I only used my computer to write papers and send email.
I did not know to call my first "sensory box" a sensory box.
Baby "E" playing with her first oatmeal sensory box (2004)
I just wanted something fun for "E to play with that was something she couldn't choke on
and something she could safely put in her mouth, hence the dry oatmeal.
It was a great way to entertain her indoors in nasty weather and if she ate some,
it was just some extra fiber. I did not introduce her to the sand table outdoors until this
box had been mastered and I knew the "tasting" stage was over.
She loved it.
So did her friends.
It was the go-to activity for play dates.
A mini indoor sand box made out of a plastic under bed-style storage box,
two canisters of dry oatmeal, some small cups, and some Little People figures and animals.
I was onto something.
We made them as gifts for friends and family - they were a huge hit!
Do you use sensory boxes (or tables) at home or in your classroom?
Are you afraid of them? Don't be.
They are great for hand eye coordination, fine motor development, and
serves as a great sensory processing integration experience.
Both of my girls (and all of their friends) have a great time digging into them!
When they're done, they get a Montessori-style lesson in cleaning up with
small dust pans and brooms. Don't be afraid of a little clean up at home or in your classroom.
It is a great learning tool and a gentle way to teach children how to play nicely together.
I got a great email from one of my blog readers this week and
she inspired me to write this post, thank you Angell.
I figured if she has questions like this, some of you might be wondering the same thing.
Here is some of her email to me:
"I see all these bins but being someone who has never made one,
I don't have all those items to throw in there. It could actually become expensive.
I'm also not crafty, so I don't have craft supplies hanging around. Do you reuse your fillings (beans, rice, etc.)?
How do you keep the cost down? What is your thinking process like?
Do you have sensory bins in the back of your mind? While you are shopping do you think,
"Wow this would be a good item for a bin in the future? What are some things you would use as a bin?"
I'll do my best to answer these questions, so here we go.
Do you reuse your fillings?
Absolutely! I store my "main ingredients" in gallon zip lock bags,
inside a cardboard copy paper box on a shelf in our garage.
I also re-use my boxes. I keep 2-3 sensory boxes going at a time,
then I cycle out the ingredients and store the extra parts in gallon-size ziplock bags.
Right now I have the following stored on my shelves
(in gallon ziplock bags inside a plastic box):
- Dried Green Split Peas (that are seasoned with cinnamon and allspice for Fall)
- White Rice (winter snow & wedding box)
- Silk (faux) Dollar Tree Fall Leaves
- Shredded Paper Easter Grass (green and yellow)
- Oatmeal (dry, uncooked)
- Black Fish Tank Gravel (dry black beans are awesome too!)
- Blue Fish Tank Gravel (you could also just dye rice blue)
- Small Pebbles/Gravel in Earthtones
- Rainbow Rice (homemade)
- Coffee Grounds (Dry)
- Dry Black Eyed Peas
- Rainbow Pom-Poms
- Faux Flowers and Faux Green Leaves (cut off Dollar Tree Vines)
- Moon Sand (make your own with play sand and cornstarch - google it)
You can also use:
- Cotton Balls
- Birdseed (then feed it to your birds when you're done)
- Dry Pasta
- Un-popped Popcorn
- Dry Beans
- Shredded Paper
- Faux Snow (warning: it's really messy)
- Some moms even use real potting soil outdoors (I'm not that brave!)
- Sand
*NOTE*: I also keep a box of goodies for sensory boxes like:
- scoops
- spoons
- cups
- funnels
- ice trays
- egg cartons
- tweezers
- small mirrors,
- tongs
- etc.
How do you keep the cost down?
Great question, my husband asks me the same one all the time! ; )
I don't just go out to the store and buy everything to make a sensory box.
Most of it evolves from stuff we already have here at the house, even if it's from the recycling bin.
I do occasionally have to buy the bulk dry ingredients but they get re-used.
(for example, I had to buy the dry rice, peas and beans at first but now I re-use them all the time)
I re-use/recycle the dry ingredients.
Take the green split peas for example, I've used them for:
two "Fall" boxes, a "Spring Garden" box, a "St. Patrick's Day" box, and the "Apple Box".
I make a lot of the "ingredients"
like my homemade felt toilet paper tube trees for the Apple Box.
Homemade "Fall Trees" by gluing brown felt to TP tubes and gluing fake leaves on top.
For example, we just made an "Ice Cream" sensory box
and I saved tiny gelato cups from Whole Foods and
tiny Blue Bunny Brand single serving ice cream containers from our recycling.
I made ice cream balls by wrapping yarn around forks and making pom-poms.
We made tiny popsicles by gluing felt to popsicle sticks and felt "cones"
Then, I gave the girls some deep spoons and our ice cream scoop.
Homemade (inexpensive) felt popsicles.
Glue a popsicle stick to two piece of felt or card-stock/scrap-booking paper.
How do color rice or noodles?
I use the same technique for both. It's quick and easy and you DON'T cook anything.
Where To Find Ingredients For Sensory BoxesWhile you are shopping do you think,
"this would be great for a sensory bin"?
Sometimes depending on the store.
Especially at "Goodwill,"neighborhood Garage Sales,
the Target Dollar Bins, and Dollar Tree.
And...occasionally at my two favorite craft stores,"Michaels" and "JoAnne's" in their seasonal areas
(they always have coupons and... JoAnne's gives a teacher discount to teachers and home-schoolers).
Goodwill and Garage Sales are great for:
ice trays, cookie cutters, scoops, tongs, small containers,
faux flowers/leaves (you can dismantle a wreath or centerpiece)
Grocery store and big box stores like Walmart have sales and good prices
on bulk dry goods like pasta, rice, popcorn, beans, oatmeal for "filler."
Dollar Tree, Target dollar bins, and craft stores are great for seasonal goodies
and trinkets think major holidays and 4 seasons.
What are some things you would use in a bin?
It really just depends on the "theme"
Small toys, trinkets, and figurines from the playroom.
Goodies from the kitchen like scoops, measuring spoons or cups, and funnels.
Items from recycling like egg cartons, yogurt cups, wine corks, bottle caps, etc.
Bathroom goodies like cotton balls, Q-tips, Toilet Paper Tubes.
Seasonal decorations and do-dads.
Pom-poms, buttons, wooden cut outs from the craft store.
Doll house furniture and accessories.
Sensory Box ThemesWhat is your thinking process like?
I work off of themes like seasons and holidays, they're the easiest to do.
Our "Spooky Halloween" Sensory Box
Our "Winter Wonderland"Box (which turned into a rice table)
Our Easter and Bird Themed Spring Box
Our St. Patrick's Day Box
4th of July/Patriotic Box
I also try to make boxes with stuff I think would be fun to play with and touch.
For example:
The "Coffee Box"
and the "Oatmeal" box is just fun to play in.
Or...I'll do a theme box based on the girls' current interests
or tie it to a unit they're doing at school or with me like:
Our "Outer Space" Box
"Zoo Box"
Our "Farm Box"
Our "Cats" Sensory Rainbow Rice Table for "C"s 4th Birthday Party
was a huge hit with all of the guests.
Sometimes the material sparks an idea for a theme:
White Rice for our "Wedding Box"
Pom-poms for our "Ice Cream Box"
Blue Fish Gravel for our "Ocean Box"
Gravel for our "Under Construction" Box
Some ideas are inspired by other wonderful bloggers,
visit my Pinterest board and check out
my Sensory Box Love! page for tons of great ideas
and get your own inspiration from around blog land!
I hope this helps answer your questions
and helps to spark some fun new sensory box/table experiences
so you can CREATE * PLAY * EXPLORE in your own home or classroom!

Grainger High School produced some outstanding three-sport athletes in the 1940s and 1950s.
Doug Bruton is considered one of the best.
Grainger High School produced some outstanding three-sport athletes in the 1940s and 1950s.
Doug Bruton is considered one of the best.
Bruton was a three-sport letterman in football, basketball and baseball for the Red Devils, and went on to play football and baseball collegiately at the University of North Carolina.
A little more than 62 years after he threw his final pitch wearing a Grainger uniform, Bruton will officially be inducted into the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the new Woodmen Community Center at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 20.
�In the late 40s and 50s there were a lot of three-sport athletes at Grainger High School, and Doug Bruton would have to be, in my opinion, at the top,� Grainger graduate and Kinston/Lenoir County Hall of Fame inductee George Whitfield said.
�He lettered in all three sports and was outstanding in all three.�
Bruton was a defensive force on the gridiron. Not only was he an all-conference selection as a lineman and linebacker from 1947-49, he was also an All-State selection in 1949, an All-Southern pick and played in the 1949 Shrine Bowl.
He was awarded the George DuBose Defensive Trophy in 1948 and 1949, which was voted on by all teams in the conference.
But perhaps Bruton�s biggest memory of his prep football career � which continued for the Tar Heels � was the fact his team couldn�t play for a state title because of its conference schedule.
�We won our conference, the Northeastern Conference, every year I played, for four years. But we were never eligible to play for a state championship because our conference finished too late,� Bruton said. �We had some outstanding teams. I think we could have won some state titles.�
Bruton did get his state championship in basketball, however, as he helped lead the Red Devils to the N.C. High School Athletic Association Class A title in 1950 � the school�s first in what has now become eight state titles in Grainger/Kinston High boys basketball history. He was also selected to play in the N.C. Coaches Association East-West All-Star game in the summer of 1950, and was named a co-captain for the East squad.
Even with all the accolades Bruton received on the gridiron and the hardwood, he wasn�t finished.
Bruton�s baseball skills helped lead the Red Devils to the Class A title in back-to-back seasons (1949-50), with a personal claim to fame being he was the only Grainger player to hit a ball over the left-field fence at Grainger High School Stadium.
His performance as a pitcher/first baseman for the Red Devils got him noticed by the then New York Giants, who offered him $5,000 to play professional baseball. But after a long talk with his mentor, coach Frank L. Mock, Bruton, who did play semi-professional baseball, decided to decline and accept UNC�s scholarship offer to play football.
�Coach Mock was the main one that influenced me to take the football scholarship,� Bruton said. �He said, �Doug, I�ll tell you something. If you don�t go to the big leagues right away, it�s not a happy life in minor league baseball unless you enjoy riding a lot of buses. When you suddenly reach the age of 30 and you don�t have an education, what are you going to fall back on?�
�His counseling really helped me to make that decision � take the four years at UNC.�
While in Chapel Hill, Bruton was a three-year starter at linebacker before shoulder injuries forced him to give up the game as a senior. All that did was open the door for him to play a year of college baseball for the Tar Heels in 1954.
Bruton�s athletics career didn�t end there.
After graduating college, Bruton enlisted in the armed forces and lived out the rest of his professional life working for the U.S. Government in some capacity. While stationed in Japan he helped coach the Atsugi Navy-Marine Flyers football team, which competed for the Far East championship. He also pitched for its baseball team and went 3-0 and was selected to the all-star game. In 1958-59 he pitched for the FBI baseball team, and won the Washington, D.C., city industrial league championship in both years.
Bruton, now 80, and his wife, Jinny, currently live in Edgewater, Md.
�I stayed active in sports,� Bruton said.
Bruton credited the late Pat Crawford and Mock for his successes.
�(Pat Crawford) was a great mentor. He�s the one that got most of us started in sports,� Bruton said. �Coach Frank Mock was probably my biggest mentor. He really got the respect from us players and from me in particular.�
To Whitfield, who honored Bruton at his yearly baseball clinic in 2003, Bruton is the best of the best.
�Doug was a great high school football player. He was a great high school basketball player on the (1950) state championship team. And he was a tremendously-respected pitcher on the baseball team,� Whitfield said.
�In my opinion, he�s right up at the top of the athletes that have played at Grainger High School.�

|Whit Criswell Bryan - About 1924 at his home in Seymour, Texas.
|No Story Too Small
So, for the next few weeks (until January 29), my posts will be "easy" posts about closer Hairston family members. Today's post is a photo timeline about a Hairston descendant that I knew well, Whit Criswell Bryan, my father.
|Whit Criswell Bryan was the son of Redic E. Bryan and Myrtie Hairston Bryan.
|He was born in Seymour, Texas on December 21, 1920 and lived there until the death of his father in 1929.
|Dad lived with his sisters, in Borger, Texas, until 1940 when he joined the Navy.
Pictured with Dad are his sisters - Marie Bryan, DeRay Bryan, Willa Mae Dudley and his niece, Jackie Dudley.
|He attended Basic Training at the U. S. Naval Training Station in San Diego California. Bill Smith, Robert Winters, and Whit Bryan
|Dad was assigned to the Mobile Naval Hospital #3 in Pearl Harbor when the bombing occurred on December 7, 1941.
|Dad was married twice. After WWII, he married Geraldine Mixon. They had two daughters.
|He married my mother in 1955 and had two children.
That's me in the picture with Mom.
|Dad in Vietnam. He served as a Hospital Corpsman with the 3rd Marine Division in 1967.
|Dad retired from the Navy in 1969.
|Here is Dad in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, in 1981, at the grave of his great-grandfather, Reddick Bryan. His interest in his family led to my obsession with genealogy.

aquaponics controller / monitor, green house monitoring / automation.
Holy Sh^t!!add that to my list also!That kid really should be wearing a mask though..
Can't offer much, other than I have been interested in the Arduino for some time now. Haven't done anything with it yet, due to time and money constraints, but check out http://www.instructables.com/, they have a whole section for it.I've seen projects for controlling solar panels to get the most sunlight, controlling a watering system for the garden, perimeter security, the list goes on and on.
Pretty cool. But that's not actually shooting the pain balls. He says in his description that he didn't want paint all over the yard so didn't load it.
Aww come on. You've never done something so clever that it made you do something really stooopid right after that?
So, I just picked up a couple Raspberry Pi boards. My wife will give them to me for Christmas. I got to thinking that I would like to expand my knowledge of programming and electronics. So an Arduino would be a nice addition to these computers. But I'm not really sure what I would use an Arduino for on the homestead.So, first question is are any of you messing around with Arduinos?If so, what types of projects are you using them for?Anything homestead related?
This ^Have both in the same place. Aquaponics in my greenhouse and have to monitor constantly for temp, pumps, waterlevel, as well as pH O2. Fans, heating elements, could go on. currently using weather station remote sensors in the greenhouse for some data. Manually checking pumps, waterlevel, temps and adjusting as needed. Takes up time. Would be nice to automate. And the remote sentry was awesome. That would be pretty cool too.
You definitely have a market here. There are those of us who are not as techno savvy but would like to use/buy the final end product without paying a huge amount. There is also the modified home security options for remote homesteads. I am thinking if you have an internet connection available, or maybe some other way to transmit the data, a motion sensor with camera. Then text alert when something is detected. I know there are similar products out there, but home grown with the prepper/homesteader in mind might be good market.
At that point though your better off just using a real computer running linux and zoneminder.
I disagree. A Raspberry Pi uses about 4 watts, a standard desktop is has a 400W(or so) power supply. A Raspberry Pi can be run off a car battery for a long time, not so with a desktop.

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan's new book, in which he accuses the Bush administration of using propaganda to sell the invasion of Iraq, is being used as a sideshow by the corporate media to "debate" and cast suspicion upon the manifestly provable fact that Bush led America into a war based on lies.
The chicken-necked yellow bellied corporate press whores at the New York Times, Washington Post and elsewhere, who gleefully echoed bellicose propaganda about Iraq's non-existent WMD program in the months leading up to the invasion, are now attributing a false sense of controversy to McClellan's comments when in reality all he is doing is saying one plus one equals two.
The reason for pontificating on McClellan saying Bush used propaganda to sell the war, which is the equivalent of saying that the sun came up yesterday morning, is clear – to sow seeds of doubt in his statements by associating them with a disgruntled former employee who has an axe to grind.
Current White House sycophants are playing their part too, going off talking points in claiming they are "puzzled" by McClellan's statements in an attempt to foster the stereotype of an unstable and bitter McClellan who is merely spewing nonsense in order to backbite and sell a book.
Whether McClellan spoke out to clear his conscience or so he could sell more books is beside the point – the fact that propaganda was used without recourse in the run-up to the March 2003 invasion is self-evident, but the corporate media is hoping that Americans just can't be bothered to remember that far back.
Here's a little refresher course.
A report by the Center for Public Integrity earlier this year concluded that White House officials, including President George W. Bush, Vice-President Richard Cheney, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, made "935 demonstrably false statements made on 532 separate occasions" in relation to Iraq and its alleged WMD program.
"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to Al Qaeda," states the report. "This was the conclusion of numerous bipartisan government investigations, including those by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (2004 and 2006), the 9/11 Commission, and the multinational Iraq Survey Group, whose "Duelfer Report" established that Saddam Hussein had terminated Iraq's nuclear program in 1991 and made little effort to restart it."
Despite this fact, on nearly 1,000 occasions, White House officials "stated unequivocally that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (or was trying to produce or obtain them), links to Al Qaeda, or both. This concerted effort was the underpinning of the Bush administration's case for war."
The most infamous of all the examples of Iraq war propaganda was the Niger uranium controversy.
Bush cited a forged document that claimed Iraq's Saddam Hussein attempted to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger. In his 2003 State of the Union Speech, Bush said, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," despite the fact that the CIA had directly told the White House in an October 2002 memo that the documents were forgeries.
Bush knew that the documents were not genuine, but he used them to deceive the American people into believing a lie about Iraq's weapons capability to beef the case for war.
When Iraq released its 12,000 page dossier to the UN describing the scale of its weapons programs and how biological weapons were disposed of, the U.S. government seized the report, deleted 8,000 pages to censor the fact that U.S. companies provided Iraq with its weapons arsenal at the behest of the U.S. government itself, released the rest and then claimed that Iraq was "hiding" evidence of weapons programs.
On the eve of the war the U.S. cited fabricated and unreliable evidence to try and justify a war in the face of mounting anti-war demonstrations.
Colin Powell's speech to the U.N. on February 5 2003 was described as a watershed moment because it firmly divided the world into pro and anti-war camps. At this point blatantly demonization-driven stories were emerging suggesting that Saddam Hussein's spies were running and organizing anti-war protests across the world. Hussein could barely control his small region of dominance and so how his agents were able to leave the country and infiltrate the anti-war movement is baffling.
Powell's 'evidence' consisted of satellite photographs with arrows drawn on pointing to objects that could have been anything, if the satellite photos were even genuine at all. The then Secretary of State also outlined that the Islamic terrorist group Ansar al-Islam, which he linked to Hussein, were operating a chemical and poisons factory in north-eastern Iraq. When journalists from several different countries visited this location, they found out that it was in fact a bakery.
"It emerged that the terrorist factory was nothing of the kind – more a dilapidated collection of concrete outbuildings at the foot of a grassy sloping hill. Behind the barbed wire, and a courtyard strewn with broken rocket parts, are a few empty concrete houses. There is a bakery. There is no sign of chemical weapons anywhere – only the smell of paraffin and vegetable ghee used for cooking," reported the London Observer, concluding that Powell's charge was "cheap hyperbole".
In June 2003, reports emerged that quoted Powell fuming at the "bullshit" he was being forced to read before the UN and in April 2004, Powell, "admitted that evidence he submitted to the United Nations to justify war on Iraq may have been wrong".
During his presentation, Powell also held up a British intelligence dossier that claimed to detail Iraq's links to terrorist organizations. Powell stated, "I would call my colleagues' attention to the fine paper that the United Kingdom distributed… which describes in exquisite detail Iraqi deception activities."
The dossier, entitled 'Iraq – its infrastructure of concealment, deception and intimidation' was revealed just a day after Powell's speech to be a compilation of 6-year-old magazine articles and a graduate student thesis which cited information that was 12-years-old. Four of the report's nineteen pages were copied verbatim from an Internet version of an article by Ibrahim al-Marashi, a postgraduate student from Monterey in California. Downing Street copied the text without even removing the spelling mistakes. The only changes that were made were detailed by U.K. Channel 4 News.
"In several places Downing Street edits the originals to make more sinister reading. Number 10 says the Mukhabarat – the main intelligence agency – is "spying on foreign embassies in Iraq". The original reads: "monitoring foreign embassies in Iraq." And the provocative role of "supporting terrorist organisations in hostile regimes" has a weaker, political context in the original: "aiding opposition groups in hostile regimes."
The British government made itself look even more foolish by refusing to apologize and actually defending the material as accurate. They couldn't see the harm in passing off a student essay as high-level MI6 intelligence – and neither could the U.S. government or Colin Powell . Former Labour MP Glenda Jackson commented, "If that was presented to Parliament and the country as being up-to-date intelligence, albeit collected from a variety of sources but by British intelligence agents….. it is another example of how the government is attempting to mislead the country and Parliament on the issue of a possible war with Iraq. And of course to mislead is a Parliamentary euphemism for lying."
The fraud deepened when it was established that the group who actually put the dossier together were not affiliated with MI6 but were a selection of junior aides from the office of Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's propagandist and spin master.
Immediately after this story began to circulate and build in intensity, the U.S. upped the terror alert level to orange and Tony Blair stationed troops and tanks at Heathrow airport. The government again terrorized the people into becoming distracted by fear and the story of the fraudulent Iraq dossier never resurfaced again.
There were also numerous attempts to link Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein, despite the fact that the two were arch-enemies, a fact even the usually propaganda-happy New York Times was forced to accept.
"Like other Middle Eastern rulers, Saddam Hussein has long recognized that Al Qaeda and like-minded Islamists represent a threat to his regime. Consequently, he has shown no interest in working with them against their common enemy, the United States. This was the understanding of American intelligence in the 1990's. In 1998, the National Security Council assigned staff to determine whether that conclusion was justified. After reviewing all the available intelligence that could have pointed to a connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq, the group found no evidence of a noteworthy relationship."
And yet we were subjected again and again to people like Tony Blair, George Bush and Jack Straw telling us there were clear links between Al-Qaeda and Hussein but not surprisingly they 'couldn't tell us the nature of those links' because of national security concerns. Polls were then released showing that over 50% of Americans thought Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden were the same person.
Rohan Gunaratna, an expert on international terrorism at St. Andrews University, stated, "I have examined many thousands of documents from Afghanistan I could not find any links whatsoever with Osama bin Laden or al-Qaeda. If there are links, they should prove it. They have an enormous intelligence budget, they have interviewed more than 1,000 al-Qaeda suspects, they have examined thousands of documents, and they have found nothing."
Amidst empty accusations of a link between Hussein and bin Laden, angry British intelligence officials leaked a top-secret report saying that there were no links. There was, according to the BBC, growing disquiet at the way their work was being politicized to support the case for war on Iraq.
George Bush felt no qualms in continually citing discredited evidence from British intelligence sources and presenting it as gospel.
Powell's dossier of 'evidence', the student essay 'intelligence report', the phantom links, the whole facade was an endless stream of bullshit intended to convince people who never look behind the curtain that war was justified.
Bush had decided to invade Iraq long before the dog and pony show of diplomatic attempts to have Saddam expunge his deadly non-existent arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
As far back as 1999, before he was even elected President, George W. Bush told Mickey Herskowitz, the ghostwriter of his autobiography, that he craved to invade Iraq and finish the job his father started.
Also in the late 1990's, the ideological framework of the Bush administration, the Project For a New American Century, wrote in their own policy documents, "The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."
The Downing Street Memo, a transcript of a two hour meeting between Bush and Blair at the White House on January 31st, 2003, revealed that, "Mr Bush made it clear the US intended to invade whether or not there was a second UN resolution and even if UN inspectors found no evidence of a banned Iraqi weapons programme."
During the same meeting, Bush proposed flying a U2 spy plane over Iraq painted in UN colors, goading Saddam into bringing the aircraft down in a deceptive and crass attempt to enlist UN support for an invasion.
These examples are just a handful of the hundreds of cases where Bush administration officials spewed propaganda, plotted deception and cited intelligence reports which they knew were false to bolster the case for a war which they had already resolved to wage months and even years before the smokescreen of diplomatic efforts to disarm Saddam Hussein's imaginary weapons of mass destruction.
The fact that Scott McClellan is being attacked for pointing out the blindingly obvious is another indictment of the corporate media's ploy of whipping up a phony controversy in an attempt to make people forget the true gargantuan scale of the lies they were told to sell the invasion of Iraq.

Let's face it: Camping is even better when you have a fantastic waterfront view. And there's nothing to keep you going through a tough winter like dreaming up some ideas for your next green outdoor adventure. We've picked 10 sweet camping sites with a variety of waterfront locations — on lakes, rivers, the ocean and more — that afford great views and plenty of recreational opportunities.
1. Haena Beach Park (Hawaii)
Photo: TLPOSCHARSKY/flickr
If you like to unzip your tent and step out into the sand, pitching camp around Kauai is bargain bliss — county parks charge out-of-state campers just $3 a night. Haena Beach Park, at the edge of the famous Na Pali coast, offers forest access and panoramic views of the ocean, though swimmers and snorkelers are advised to stroll down to safer waters at nearby Tunnels Beach. Anahola Beach Park has a shallow offshore reef that buffers the surf, making it the island's safest year-round swimming beach.
2. Kenai Fjords National Park (Alaska)
Photo: bdearth/flickr
It might not be what comes to most people's minds when they think of waterfront camping, but the 12 walk-in wilderness campsites at Exit Glacier are indeed in the shadow of a pretty massive body of water — it's just in ice form. The site of the first recorded crossing of the Harding Icefield, Exit Glacier is still on the move; you can walk to its terminus when water levels are low, but watch out for falling chunks! The Exit Glacier area also contains a dramatic day hike in the Harding Icefield Trail. Those who prefer their water wet can kayak the fjords.
3. Gold Bluffs Beach Campground (California)

Right on the Humboldt County coast, within an old-growth forest of coastal redwoods, western hemlock and Douglas fir, Gold Bluffs Beach Campground is a special spot indeed. Surrounding Prairie Creek Redwood State Park is a sanctuary for the big trees that offers plenty of hiking trails; 10 miles of sandy shoreline for beach combing; a dense understory of flowers, ferns and lichens to explore in Fern Canyon; and bird- and whale-watching opportunities. Keep an eye out for Roosevelt elk, deer, bobcats and mountain lions.
4. Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park (Oregon)
Photo: Oregon State Archives
With pink rhododendrons blooming in the spring, huckleberries and blackberries ripe for the picking in the fall, and direct access to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area from designated campsites in winter, Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park bills itself as a "camp for all seasons." About halfway up the Oregon shoreline on Highway 101, the coastal rain forest park boasts two freshwater lakes, Cleawox and Woahink, and two miles of sand dunes to explore on the way to the ocean. Visitors can entertain themselves with swimming, canoeing, fishing and other water sports — even scuba diving — in the lakes, or by sandboarding on the dunes. History buffs should keep an eye out for the stonework along park roads and the lodge and terrace on Cleawox Lake — all were built by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.
5. Salmon River Campground (Idaho)
Photo: Idaho Tourism
With a picturesque location on the Salmon River, Salmon River Campground is located in the mixed lodgepole pine and meadow/sagebrush environment of Sawtooth National Forest, just five miles northeast of the Rocky Mountain town of Stanley. The Sawtooth Mountains tower over the area, which offers biking, rafting, fishing on high mountain lakes, horseback riding and hiking trails, as well as skiing and snowmobiling in the winter.
6. Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (Utah)
Photo: lowjumpingfrog/flickr
Though we have plenty of bones to pick with dams, it's hard to deny that they've created some dramatic views — including the one from the campsites on the rim of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Early explorer John Wesley Powell named the gorge after the sun's reflection on its red rocks; the reservoir, created by damming the Green River, is now a playground for boating, fishing and other water sports, while the river below is open to rafters. Hikers can explore trails winding through evergreen, pinyon pine and juniper forest, broken up with meadows and views of mountain peaks.
7. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Michigan)
Photo: *clairity*/flickr
Named for the mineral streaks that adorn their cliff faces, the rocks of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore rise above Lake Superior, around which both day hikers and backpackers can enjoy a 42-mile section of national scenic trail. The area is also rife with waterfalls running off a massive sandstone formation; the trails to many are laden with wildflowers in springtime. The water of the lake itself is generally chilly year-round, but a campground above Twelvemile Beach is ideally suited for beach walks and picnics; all of the area's rustic and peaceful campsites have solar-powered wells.
8. Lake Cumberland State Resort Park (Kentucky)
Photo: USACEpublicaffairs/flickr
The first frontiersman to make his way into Kentucky, way back in 1750, named the Cumberland River (and the mountains around it) after Prince William, Duke of Cumberland. Today, the lake formed by a dam on that river is a prime boating destination and considered one of the best places to fish in the eastern United States. Nestled amid beech, oak and hickory forests, Lake Cumberland State Resort Park has plenty to offer those who prefer other forms of recreation too. Visitors can opt for guided horseback trail rides, naturalist-led programs on the local flora and fauna, easy hikes, geocaching or Frisbee golf.
9. Pocomoke River State Park (Maryland)
Photo: U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service - Northeast Region/flickr
Visitors to Milburn Landing and Shad Landing can paddle between the two campgrounds, located on opposite sides of the Pocomoke Cypress Swamp, fed by the Pocomoke, or "black water," river. The area contains hiking trails through 15,000 acres of forest, as well as water trails through the swamp, the better to keep an eye out for wildlife. River otters, bald eagles and two regionally rare species of warbler make their home in Pocomoke River State Park, amid the loblolly pines, white dogwood and pink laurel, while a nearby preserve hosts 20 species of neotropical migratory birds.
10. Cape Lookout National Seashore (North Carolina)
Photo: U.S. National Park Service
Only reachable by boat, the Cape Lookout National Seashore protects the southernmost part of the Outer Banks barrier islands. Its wide beaches, low dunes and salt marshes make an idyllic setting for swimming and surfing, tidepooling and birdwatching, and catching fish, clams and crabs. Camping amid the dunes is a real do-it-yourself experience. There are few amenities and campers must bring everything they need — including firewood and fresh water — and take it all back out again. A small price to pay to preserve such a peaceful place.

Off Duty 50
American-Made Ciders Redefine the Apple Cocktail
Upset the apple (cocktail) cart with drinks that make use of the new wave of American-made ciders—as in this recipe for an autumnal tipple made with crisp, sweet J.K.'s Scrumpy
The Alien Comic F. Martin Ramin/The Wall Street Journal, Styling by Anne Cardenas
Forget that toxic-green apple-tini you once made the mistake of ordering. A new wave of American-made hard ciders has arrived, and it's redefining the role of the apple at the bar.
In recent years, the range of cider styles available here has expanded, said Michael McAvena, East Coast account manager at Michigan-based Virtue Cider and former bartender at the Violet Hour in Chicago. "Cider can be fruity, dry, oxidized like a vermouth," he said. That means lots of potential applications in cocktails.

For a drink that delivers multiple layers of apple flavor, try the recipe at right for the Alien Comic, as served at the New York restaurant Pearl & Ash. It calls for making a simple syrup from freshly juiced crab-apples—abundantly available at farmers' markets at this time of year—and the bold, tart flavor is well worth the effort. But if you lack the time (or a juicer), you can start with nonalcoholic apple cider instead. Shake the syrup with some Sherry, dry vermouth, lemon juice and ice, and finish with a pour of J.K.'s Scrumpy or another crisp, sweet hard cider. Then take a sip and enjoy the fruit of your labor.
The Alien Comic
Make crab-apple syrup: Use a juicer to extract juice from 3 pounds crab-apples. In a small pot, combine 2 cups crab-apple juice (apple cider may be substituted) and 1 cup sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Let cool. Syrup will keep 2 weeks in an airtight container, refrigerated.
Add ½ ounce crab-apple syrup, ½ ounce Dolin Blanc Vermouth, ½ ounce Lustau Palo Cortado Sherry and ½ ounce fresh lemon juice to a shaker with ice and shake 20 times. Add 1½ ounces J.K.'s Scrumpy Hard Cider and stir. Strain into a cocktail glass.

But this year...we are. :)
Here are some fun ideas for your family to do together or to keep your kids entertained if you're headed out on the town. Either way, be sure to kiss someone you love at midnight and drive safely!
{keep 'em busy til midnight}
This is especially great if you're leaving your kids with a babysitter because it gives them plenty to do for each hour until the ball drops. You could put a movie, a fun snack or noise blowers inside.
|{from Hoosier Homemade}
|{by Hewlett Packard}
|{from Parents.com}
|{from Martha Stewart.com}
{decorative bling}
Never underestimate the power of good old balloons. As champagne bubbles, a room filler, to add table height or to hold your confetti until midnight. Balloons are cheap, come in any color scheme and can be used as another child-occupier once their duty as decoration is finished.
And what's New Year's Eve {or any party really} without confetti?? Make your own by punching circles from various types of paper and use it as decoration on your tables or keep it up in little bags ready to be thrown when the ball drops. Don't worry so much about the mess...enter your next game for kids. Whoever picks up the most pieces gets a prize! ;)
For more glitzy decorations, use sequins or little mirrors to make your own personal disco balls! Styrofoam balls are cheap in any floral section or you can use that old Christmas ornament that nobody really likes anymore anyway!
{festive foods}
Whatever you choose to serve {it's always finger foods in our house} if you're having people over, Chickabug has made a great guide for how much to buy. I pinned this immediately for future reference!
{what to wear}
It's a little {only a little} too bad that we're not going out on the town this year because the sequin dresses that are super on trend are RIGHT up my alley!! Super classy with high necklines, sleeves and varying lengths, I want to get one just to wear around the house.
{dresses by: Ralph Lauren, Badgley Mischka & TFNC}
And party hats. Obviously. A party supply store or basic paper hat is your best bet but if you don't have time to go out and get them, a make-shift base will do. Add feathers, glitter, sequins, tinsel, stickers or anything else you can find that will make you feel fancy.
When in doubt, throw some glitter on for pizzaz and no one will notice anything else. ;)
Happy New Year friends! Here's to making a difference in 2013!!!

Video: How to Grow a Pear in a Bottle
Get an early start on this year's holiday gifts with a pear grown in a bottle. Of course, there's also going to be some "high value" alcohol added to that bottle, but that comes after all the growing and ripening. Ed Gowans, a food and beverage photographer in the Northwest, explains his hobby in great detail; pears grown in bottles is actually a pretty cool idea. It also seems like a good way to keep squirrels, birds, and other wildlife from getting to them, no?
Now if I only had a pear tree. (And, why not, a partridge.) Has anyone else tried this with pears or other edibles? The video, after the jump.

clientel brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 261 Designs von 88 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
The NBC Peacock...the CBS "Eye" -- simple, bold, powerful. Can you top them?
CLIENT[delete/search engine prevention]ELEVISION.com
Desired Color Scheme:
compatible with site design
Desired Style:
Clean, Simple, Bold
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Assignment: Our network seeks a logo that derives its impact from bold simplicity; a clean logo that conveys the power of a major national television network, suitable for use on our broadband video site and in other promotional materials, be they online or in print. It will also be used as an overlay on the videos themselves, as our favicon and in B&W print, so it is important that the logo work in a monochromatic application as well as it does in color.
Site: CLIEN[delete/search prevention]TELEVISION.COM.
Description: You should familiarize yourself with the site by visiting the URL, watching our videos and gaining a true appreciation for our mission in assisting consumers and small business owners with practical guidance on a range of important topics. While the current focus is to enhance understanding of the law, future expansion into allied fields is likely, so you should NOT use "legal" symbols like gavels or scales of justice.
Themes: You will notice that the site is shaped to resemble a file cabinet, containing files that, when clicked, start videos which echo the very same graphical theme. So, think "file folder" AND television (perhaps combining the two in the design), so that you may create a bold logo that may incorporate the name of our site, but which could stand on its own as a symbol or icon of our network. Without any idea on how or whether it should influence your design, I would also observe that the site's name combines a few keywords: CLIENT, CLIENTELE and TELEVISION.
Color Scheme: Should be compatible with the overall website colors. We consider it the job of a professional designer to exercise sound judgment in graphical selection, gradiants, chrome finishes, etc. However, as stated above, the bold, simple design should work well in applications which do not utilize colors (i.e., overlays on videos, favicons, B&W print).
Design Elements: Complex designs with fine lines and similar flourishes are not likely to capture the interest of our editorial team. The network is seeking bold, powerful and simple IMPACT, which stays true to the sites mission of helping "clients" understand the legal, business, financial and consumer issues confronting them every day.
Future Work Likely: As the needs of a growing network are multifaceted, the winning designer, and others whose work impresses the network, will be considered for additional logo and graphical design work.

Maya: You know, can I ask you a personal question, Miles?
Miles Raymond: Sure.
Maya: Why are you so in to Pinot?
Miles Raymond: [laughs softly]
Maya: I mean, it's like a thing with you.
Miles Raymond: [continues laughing softly]
Miles Raymond: Uh, I don't know, I don't know. Um, it's a hard grape to grow, as you know. Right? It's uh, it's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It's, you know, it's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and uh, thrive even when it's neglected. No, Pinot needs constant care and attention. You know? And in fact it can only grow in these really specific, little, tucked away corners of the world. And, and only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression. Then, I mean, oh its flavors, they're just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and... ancient on the planet.

Onida Red Cross Volunteer Helping with Sandy Relief
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A longtime Red Cross volunteer from Onida who has helped victims of 9/11, Missouri River flooding last year and Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana this year is being mobilized to help in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
Nancy McKenney was flying to White Plains, N.Y., on Friday to help with disaster relief. She could be there up to three weeks. McKenney has been with the Red Cross for two decades.
Several Red Cross volunteers from North Dakota also have headed to the East Coast since Sandy made landfall in New Jersey on Monday with devastating effects.

(Utica, NY – March 2013) Upstate New Yorkers could see more than $196 million in annualized savings as 14 brand-name prescription drugs become available in their generic form during 2013 and an additional $250 million in savings after 23 more generics become available in 2014, according to a new report issued by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS).
"As expensive brand-name drugs become available as generics, the savings to consumers can be significant, both in terms of lower retail prices for those who pay out-of-pocket and lower copays for those with insurance coverage," said Mona Chitre, Pharm.D., vice president of pharmacy management for Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. "Importantly, consumers should understand that generics are approved by the Food and Drug Administration as being as safe and effective as their brand-name counterparts, so they can be confident in the generics' efficacy."
Leading the list of new generics that offer the greatest savings opportunities are Diovan for treatment of high blood pressure and Cymbalta for a variety of conditions including depression, pain and fibromyalgia. Diovan has about 39,000 users in upstate New York and Cymbalta about 40,000 users.
*Diovan: Upstate New York's 39,000 Diovan users spend about $48 million annually for the drug. The retail cost for a 30-day supply of Diovan is about $125. Scheduled to become available in March, generic versions are projected to be priced as low as $25 for a 30-day supply once they become widely available (prices vary by pharmacy). The potential annual savings for Diovan users in upstate New York is $38 million.
*Cymbalta: Upstate New York's 40,000 Cymbalta users spend about $98 million annually for the drug. The retail cost for a 30-day supply of Cymbalta is about $275. The price for the generic is expected to be about $55 once it becomes widely available after its release in December. The potential annual savings in upstate NY is $78 million.
*Niaspan Upstate New York's 17,000 Niaspan users spend about $28 million annually for the drug, which is used to treat high cholesterol. The retail cost for a 30-day supply of Niaspan is about $182. The price for the generic is expected to be about $37 once it becomes widely available after its release in September. The potential annual savings for upstate is $23 million.
More than 126,000 upstate New Yorkers use the 14 brand-name drugs that are scheduled to become available as generics during 2013.
In 2014, an additional 23 brand-name drugs are scheduled to become available in their generic form, representing potential savings of $250 million across upstate New York. Leading the list for 2014 will be the generic for Nexium that is scheduled to become available in May of 2014. More than 46,000 upstate New Yorkers use Nexium, which is used to treat heartburn. The potential annual savings associated with its generic version is more than $83 million.
"The savings opportunity offered by generic drugs is so great that health insurers consider the lower cost of generics when constructing premium rates," Chitre noted. "Typically, prescription drug spending represents about 15 percent to 17 percent of a health plan's total benefit expense."

Chief among state securities regulators' "aggressive" legislative agenda this year will be giving the Securities and Exchange Commission the authority to collect user fees to fund advisor exams, as FINRA is still pushing to have an SRO bill introduced, Heath Abshure, president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, said Tuesday.
Speaking at NASAA's legislative agenda press briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, Abshure, the Arkansas securities commissioner, said that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority had not abandoned its efforts to become the self-regulatory organization for advisors, despite comments made recently by Richard Ketchum, FINRA's CEO.
Rather than pushing an SRO bill within the House Financial Services Committee, FINRA "is changing its strategy," Abshure (right) said. "We are going to stay on guard" for FINRA to push the SRO issue this year.
In a separate conversation with AdvisorOne after the briefing, both Abshure and Steve Irwin, the Pennsylvania Banking and Securities commissioner, said that while FINRA did indeed "revise" its SRO plan to focus on Senate SRO backers, Senate Banking Committee members are waiting to see how the incoming SEC chairwoman, Mary Jo White, takes to the SRO idea before agreeing to sponsor such legislation.
The Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing to consider White's nomination next Tuesday.
Indeed, sources told AdvisorOne in early February that FINRA has now set its sights on the Senate to push an SRO bill, as Jeb Hensarling, the new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has other priorities and is unlikely to pursue such a bill this year.
Abshure said during the briefing that while NASAA "remains hopeful" that Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., reintroduces this year her bill allowing the SEC to collect user fees to fund advisor exams, Waters' legislation likely has "less support" now that FINRA has abandoned its House SRO efforts.
Indeed, NASAA, along with the Financial Planning Coalition, are seeking to have a user fees bill introduced in the Senate. Karen Nystrom, head of public policy and advocacy for the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, told AdvisorOne in early February that the coalition—comprised of the Financial Planning Association, CFP Board and NAPFA—"is not backing off its position" to increase the frequencey of advisor exams.
Both Abshure and Irwin outlined other areas where NASAA will also seek legislation this year. They include:
- Permitting reasonable civil recovery for fraud associated with crowdfunding and other small offerings.
- Strengthening investor protection provisions weakened by the JOBS Act to minimize the Act's enormous potential for abuse; and
- Empowering state regulators to curtail the use of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses in contracts between state-registered investment advisors and their clients.

Now... he's sent coffee before. And I've always liked it. In some cases a lot.
And the coffees of theirs I had in London were excellent.
But seriously. Nothing prepared me for this.
It was called Sweet Shop.
And it was amazing.
Sadly, this was a single batch. From a single day. And there is no more.
Sadly, because it was one of my favorite espressos ever.
It was one of the most heavily fruited espressos I've ever had - and not fruit in the thin sharp green way that you get some times. And not one massive single fruit flavor. No... this was a deep and rich and heavy and ridiculously sweet coffee with layers upon layers of different fruit. From blackberry molasses to cassis jellies. From pear hard candy to butterscotch toffee. From kumquat to raspberry to apricot to melon. It was all there. And all anchored by a spine of red wine and leather with a semi-sweet cocoa finish.
Absolutely stunning.
Not a coffee I'll soon forget.

P.J. Hairston plans to play in NBA Development League, take online class
Former North Carolina player P.J. Hairston says he will play in the NBA Development League.
In a statement, Hairston said he submitted paperwork to play in the league Friday afternoon. He also said he is taking an online course through UNC toward his communications major and turned in his first assignment Thursday.
The Tar Heels' leading scorer never played this season after the school decided last month not to seek his reinstatement for NCAA rules violations, including using rental vehicles tied to a felon and party promoter in Durham.
Hairston said in his statement he is "excited to continue to pursue my degree at UNC while also pursuing my dream of becoming a professional basketball player."
The 21-year-old flirted with entering the NBA draft before returning for his junior season.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.—The Bisons jumped out to a 17-2 lead Sunday afternoon in the Hodge Center against the Spartans of USC Upstate and never looked back as they cruised to a 76-55 win.
In the first half, nine different Bisons scored and Lipscomb's defense held the Spartans to just14.8 percent shooting from the field. Bisons head coach Scott Sanderson said he was happy with the defensive focus his team displayed.
"They shot 14 percent," Sanderson said. "That's the best half we have played defensively since I have been here. In the twelve years that I have been here, as far as sustaining and focusing defensively, that was probably the best we have played."
Lipscomb held USC Upstate to just five points in the first ten minutes of the first half. The Bisons took advantage of the drought to jump on the Spartans and build a 25-point lead at halftime.
Offensively, it was a complete team effort for Lipscomb. The leading scorer was senior Adnan Hodzic who finished with 12 points. However, a balanced Bisons attack resulted in seven different players scoring six or more points. Overall, 11 out of the 13 players on the active roster scored for the Bisons.
"I put on the board today that we have to get balance offensively," Sanderson said. "Everybody thinks that Adnan and Josh [Slater] are going to score a lot of points, and they are, but we scored 76 points today and they got 21 of them.
"We have got to have balance offensively and I thought that we got that. I thought that we got great support off our bench and it was just a good solid win for our guys."
Lipscomb received 36 points from their bench and outrebounded USC Upstate 42-27.
As a team, the Bisons were red hot from the field shooting 60 percent for the game. Also, Lipscomb knocked down 7-of-15 three pointers (46.7 percent).
USC Upstate finished the game going 20-of-62 from the field (32.3 percent) and 3-of-25 from behind the arc (12 percent). Freshman Torrey Craig led USC Upstate with14 points and five rebounds.
In the second half the Bisons pushed their lead out to 31 points at the 8:55 mark, however that would be the largest lead of the game for Lipscomb. Nobody from Lipscomb played more than 25 minutes.
"It was just the energy and effort that all 15 guys played with," Sanderson said. "We read verses today from Ecclesiastes about three strands being very hard to break. When you have 15 together on the same page, it is extremely hard to break."
With the victory, Lipscomb improved to 11-8 overall, 6-4 in the Atlantic Sun. The Spartans fell to 2-17 overall and 1-8 in the A-Sun.
Lipscomb's next action comes Tuesday night against Belmont in Allen Arena. Coverage of the game can be heard starting at 7 p.m. central on WGFX 104.5 the Zone. Jonathan, Justin and Benjamin Seamon will be on the call.

Phil Pace, otherwise known as the guy who invented the Broham sandwich (which is pulled pork on coleslaw), is one of San Diego's most beloved citizens.
He's the inventor of the sauce that launched Phil's BBQ, his popular barbecue restaurants with locations in Point Loma, Santee and San Marcos. Recently, Pace launched his latest project, a Phil's BBQ inside Petco Park — just in time for the home opener.
The North County-based restaurateur, who moved to San Diego in 1992, opens up about everything except what's in his secret sauce.
Q: Please describe what you do.
A: Nowadays, it feels like I am more of a teacher than a grill master. I still have a presence in all of my restaurants and I'm still hands-on, but my emphasis is now about teaching others to have a passion for perfection, a discipline for detail and to be empowered in the execution of our business.
Q: Why did you invent your own barbecue sauce?
A: At the time, I was a teenager in Ohio working in my parents' Italian restaurant. We used pork ribs as a flavoring element in our spaghetti sauce. I actually came up with the BBQ sauce recipe as a result of playing around and experimenting with ribs and other ingredients in our restaurant.
Q: When did you realize it was good?
A: In Ohio, I entered a number of rib "Burn-Offs" (or, barbecue rib cook-offs). I realized my BBQ sauce recipe was good when I won first place in a number of these contests in the Midwest.
Q: When and where did you open your first restaurant?
A: I actually opened my first BBQ restaurant in Ohio when I was 18. After opening a second location, I sold the business and moved to San Diego. I took some time away from being an owner-operator until I got the bug once again to open up Phil's BBQ in 1998.
Q: In the beginning, how did San Diegans react to a barbecue place?
A: From day one, we developed a loyal, cultlike following. Our first location was a small hole-in-the-wall in Mission Hills, on Goldfinch Street. The aroma of the mesquite-grilled BBQ drew customers from all over the county, and it wasn't too long before there was a line of customers waiting to dine-in or takeout Phil's BBQ.
Q: How many people know what's in the top-secret recipe?
A: Only two people know, and that's how it's going to remain.
Q: Can you tell us just one ingredient?
A: Upon advice of counsel, I cannot say.
Q: Why did you want to open a location in the ballpark?
A: It's an opportunity for our organization to institutionalize our brand and to expose our concept and foods to people who may not otherwise have tried Phil's BBQ. Besides, summer, barbecue and Padres baseball — that's a match made in heaven!
Q: How has the business changed once you started getting national attention (like being featured on The Food Network and Travel Channel)?
A: Our customers would tell us that we are on their "must-see" list when visiting San Diego. Also, our online sales of Phil's BBQ Sauce and Dry Rub Gooba Dust skyrocketed throughout the entire United States. I'd like to believe that we've become a San Diego icon of sorts. One thing that hasn't changed is our recipe and commitment to serving the highest food quality with consistency and freshness every day. We're a little fanatical about that.
Q: What do Texans think of your restaurant?
A: Texans love our Southern California style BBQ, especially our beef ribs. Every year, many Texans, including some high-profile politicians, eat at Phil's BBQ when they're in town.
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you?
A: I am a passionate supporter of the humane treatment of animals and am regularly involved in fundraising for the San Diego Human Society and SPCA. I am also an ardent supporter of organizations for underprivileged children and dependents of our deployed military.
Q: What, besides barbecue, do you like to eat?
A: Grass-fed rib-eye steak and sushi.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: Weekends are our busiest time at Phil's BBQ. I frequently make surprise visits to my restaurants on weekends just to observe my team in action. One day, I may have to come up with a disguise, like "Undercover Boss!"

Well tonight is the first night in about a week that I have felt well enough to sit in front of my computer, work on pictures and write a blog entry. I've just been too sick to do anything since about last Monday! I'm so so so happy that I am starting to feel better. I've been wanting to share these pics with you for quite a few days now!
Haste and Pink Fuel both have items out at The Costume Ball. The set up is AMAZING if you haven't been, you should consider checking it out. If for some reason you haven't heard of The Costume Ball, here is some info off the press release:
"From the 24th of October to the 1st of November, designers entered will be able to use free vendor space for The Costume Ball. They must make an item exclusive for the event, fitting the theme of "dark, but with class." That means no gore, or repulsively overdone content that is tailored more outside of the bounds of culture."
Haste has put out this daring lace overlay dress that's ready to slink into a dark couture party or onto a bedroom floor at a moments notice.
Pink Fuel is one of those brands that makes a fabulous product, and doesn't get near the press it deserves. Beautiful skin tones, lovely shading and details, and for The Costume Ball, some make up that is vampish and deliciously out of this world.
Style Card:
- Dress: Haste – Costume Ball Dress (The Costume Ball)
Skin: Pink Fuel – Alyx (Vanilla, Siren) (The Costume Ball)
Hair: Truth – Dawson (Raven)
Shoes: G*Field – Alex (Black Suede)
Nails: Synthetique – Ultimate French

Tiny single-celled organisms, many of them previously unknown, have been discovered beneath nearly seven miles of water in the deepest part of the ocean.
WASHINGTON Tiny single-celled organisms, many of them previously unknown, have been discovered beneath nearly seven miles of water in the deepest part of the ocean.
A sample of sediment collected from the Challenger Deep southwest of Guam in the Pacific Ocean Islands yielded several hundred foraminifera, a type of plankton that is usually abundant near the ocean surface.
"On the species level, all the species we found from the Challenger Deep are quite new," researcher Hiroshi Kitazato said vie e-mail.
The outer shapes are similar to other known foraminifera, but details of their structure differ, explained Kitazato, of the Institute for Research on Earth Evolution, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.
"I am very surprised that so many very simple, soft-shelled foraminifera are dwelling at the deepest point of the world ocean," he added.
"It is also exiting that most of the group belong to the oldest branch of foraminifera," he added, suggesting that these deep locations may form some sort of refuge for them.
These distinct creatures probably represent the remnants of a deep-dwelling group that was able to adapt to the high pressures, the researchers suggest in reporting the find. Their discovery is reported in this week's issue of the journal Science.
Because the water is so deep, the pressure where the find was made is 1,100 times more than normal atmospheric pressure at the surface.
While many foraminifera have hard shells, the researchers noted that this newly found group does not.
Similar, though not identical, groups have been found in other, slightly shallower, ocean trenches, they note.
The creatures probably can exist by ingesting particles of organic matter that drift down from above or materials that are dissolved in the seawater, Kitazato said.
The research was funded by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, the Japan Society for Promotion of Science, the Kaplan Foundation and the Natural Environment Research Council.
