Executive divided by education proposals
16/05/2008 :: Northern Ireland :: The Irish News
Northern Ireland's new education proposals left the power-sharing executive in Belfast hopelessly divided last night.
Ian Paisley's DUP and Sinn Fein ministers clashed in a Stormont meeting over education minister Caitriona Ruane's plans to phase out the transfer test between now and 2013.
It was probably the most deadlocked meeting since devolved government was restored just over a year ago.
First Minister Mr Paisley said it was a sad day for Northern Ireland.
"The minister for education's proposals, as currently framed, are totally unacceptable and do not form a basis for moving forward," he said.
"As a result of the St Andrews negotiations, we secured a legislative guarantee that academic selection can and will remain.
"The default position is clear - schools will be able to select on the basis of ability. We will not accept less.
"The education minister can make any suggestion she wants to.
"However, it will not come into force unless she has the support of the DUP and the endorsement of the executive."
The St Andrews talks paved the way for political power-sharing.
Mr Paisley said Sinn Fein had rejected suggestions that a ministerial sub-committee be established, or the executive as a whole, would discuss the issue.
Sinn Fein minister Ms Ruane has pledged to press ahead with plans to scrap the 11-plus after this year despite opposition across the cabinet table.
Teaching unions and the Catholic Church have also backed the change.
"The educators are crying out for change," Ms Ruane said.
"We have to put children at the centre of this, we have to put aside political differences and we have to build an educational system that is equal and fair for all our children.
"The proposals that I came forward with were proposals for transitional managed change, a phased end to academic selection.
"Everyone recognises that there has to be change, everyone recognises that we are not treating all our children equally but people have to show leadership and I am going to show leadership."
Sinn Fein Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the minister would continue to do her job.
"We will continue the work of government. Nobody said that being in government was going to be easy.
"We have made huge progress on this issue. "There obviously is a difficulty - there are some people who have set their faces against change, there are others who are for change, we are clearly for change."


Climate - Paris climate change agreement enters into force - France in the United States / Embassy of France in Washington, D.C.
November 4, 2016 is a historic day for the planet because it marks the climate agreement's entry into force.
"One Heart One Tree" is a monumental artwork by artist and architect Naziha Mestaoui, which turns the Eiffel tower into a light forest until December 5, 2016. With a mobile application and for a few euros, users create virtual trees that appear on the tower and grow at the pace of their heart beat. Each one of these trees will be planted for real in reforestation programs around the world.
The commitments made on 12 December 2015 at Le Bourget are now irreversible. The threshold for ratification [of the agreement]—55 states representing 55% of greenhouse gas emissions—was passed in under a year. This proves that the international community understands the full extent of the climate emergency, and this is the result of France's active efforts in the framework of the COP21 presidency, held by Ségolène Royal.
With a few days to go until Morocco takes over the presidency for COP22, all the goals France set itself have been obtained: the first global agreement in the history of climate negotiations, in Paris on 12 December 2015, its signature by more than 175 countries in New York on 22 April, and its entry into force before the end of 2016.
Following this major step, France will continue its fully active role to ensure that climate justice is respected through the release of finance—$100 billion per year for the climate by 2020—and that the spirit of Paris is maintained and developed through concrete action by the coalitions for solar energy, renewable energy in Africa, the fight against desertification, the protection of the oceans and support for the most vulnerable countries.
The Marrakesh climate conference will have to be a summit of solutions. France stands alongside Morocco with a view to making it a complete success. The French President will go there on 15 and 16 November.

Passionate debate over Lee High School name change continues

BATON ROUGE - The controversial potential name change for Lee High School was dicussed again at a community meeting Thursday night.

Some believe the new multi-million dollar school should be separated from the name "Lee," which refers to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Others believe the "Lee" moniker is part of a long line of tradition.

Thursday's forum was the third time the issue has been discussed in the past two weeks. On Tuesday, May 31st, a panel met to discuss potential new names for the school, which they recommended to the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board. But when a committee met the following Thursday, they couldn't decide on a name and decided to holdoff on making a decision.
During Thursday's meeting, students, alumni, and other concerned Baton Rouge residents has some more suggests for new names.
"They've already got Lee up there," one man suggested, referring to the Lee signage already posted throughout the building." "That was a mistake, so why don't we go with Bruce Lee, Spike Lee, somebody. Are you ready, Harry Lee even."
Removing the references to "Lee" from the school could cost several hundred thousand dollars.
"So if we feel like we don't need to change the signage, we just need to be Harper Lee High School," a student said, referring to the author of the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird."
Others maintain the "Lee should be removed altogether.
"I don't think anyone would name a high school Osama Bin Laden High School," another speaker said. "I think people would find that offensive to America."
Among the crowd, @EBRSchools superintendent Warren Drake. @WBRZ pic.twitter.com/K8TqogUsET
School leaders are expected to discuss the issue again at a meeting next Thursday.

Unfortunately, under the current government, it doesn't seem that things will be changing for the better any time soon. The Conservative party's inexorable privatisation of public services has left the NHS in a precarious position. The hospital beds in London's mental health centres are in gradual decline as more and more ground is sold to private developers, which seems symbolic of the gradual death of our once globally esteemed social welfare system.

Vietnam should lift ban on foreign tour guides: legislator

A senior lawmaker calls for allowing foreigners to work as tour guides in Vietnam.
A senior legislator has called for amending the law and allowing foreigners to work as tour guides in Vietnam, ending a ban that has often been violated.
Foreign guides should not be prohibited from working "if they meet our requirements and pay taxes," Nguyen Duc Hai, chairman of the National Assembly's Finance and Budget Committee, said, as cited by radio network Voice of Vietnam.
Hai was speaking at a meeting on Monday where a panel of top legislators discussed possible amendments to the Law on Tourism.
Vietnam should encourage expats who have lived in the country for years and "have a deep love for Vietnam" to become tour guides, he said.
The current legislation, which only recognizes local tour guides, is too strict and does not reflect the country's international cooperation, he added.
"We should be open. Foreign tour guides will help make local tourist sites and products more attractive," Hai said.
The country has recently conducted multiple inspections to weed out illegal foreign tour guides and service providers. His suggestion came as the authorities ramped up efforts to enforce the ban more effectively.
In July, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism ordered local police to expel 66 Chinese nationals who had been caught working illegally in the travel industry in the central province of Khanh Hoa. Also that month, Da Nang deported four Chinese tour guides.
The demand for guides is expected to keep growing, considering the booming tourism industry.
The total number of foreign visitors to Vietnam during the January-August period surged 25.4 percent year-on-year to around 6.45 million. It is all set to meet the target of attracting 8.5 million foreign visitors this year, the government has said.
In 2015, the country received 7.94 million foreign tourists, slightly up 0.9 percent from 2014.

Gap Analysis vs. Internal Audit vs. Pre-Assessment
By: Miriam Boudreaux 09/02/2010
If you have ever wondered what the difference was between a gap analysis, an internal audit, or a pre-assessment, you might not be alone. When trying to figure out whether your company meets the requirements of a standard, such as one the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), chances are you are trying to decide which one of these activities is best for you. Let me explain the difference and give you a clear idea of the goal for each one.
A gap analysis is mainly a determination of the degree of conformance of your organization to the requirements of a specification or standard. A gap analysis is mainly a document review or a "show me the evidence" activity, evidence which usually will come in the form of a record or document. During a gap analysis, only very minor auditing is done; rather, key process owner or project stakeholders provide evidence that they have met the requirements set forth in the specification or standard.
Get to the Core of Vendor Management Problems
By: J. LeRoy Ward 09/01/2010
Organizations that struggle with outsourced projects which have gone bad or failed completely usually cite vendor management issues as the reason. It's as if the vendor is always to blame, and the buyer is completely blameless. Rarely is this the case. Upon closer inspection, and in nine out of 10 instances, the root cause of these often-unspecified vendor management problems that allegedly lead a project astray can be traced to poorly defined requirements. Although clear requirements are at the foundation of any project, they are even more critical for outsourced ones where the rule of law, in the form of a contractual relationship, governs the nature of the relationship between buyer and seller.
The results of a new survey conducted by ESI International show that the top risks of concern to organizations when outsourcing can also be traced to poor requirements management (figure 1).
Figure 1: Top five risks for outsourced projects
Approaching requirements
The simplest way to attain better outsourced project requirements is to start by thinking about four things:
Book Excerpt: Implementing TWI
By: Donnelly 08/31/2010
(Donnelly Custom Manufacturing: Alexandria, MI) -- Despite the more than 60 years since training within industry (TWI) was created in the United States to ramp up production of war materiel during World War II, implanting TWI skills in an organization still takes great planning and effort. Patrick Graupp and Robert J. Wrona, authors of the upcoming Implementing TWI: Creating and Managing a Skills Based Culture (CRC Press, 2010), use their 10 years of experience in implanting TWI in companies across the United States and around the world to describe critical elements and point out key stumbling blocks to a successful TWI implementation.
ISO/IEC 17025: Data Integrity Begins with Employee Integrity
By: Jason Stine 08/30/2010
The foundation of any laboratory's reputation is built on confidence in its ability to provide correct and reliable data. ISO/IEC 17025, subclause 4.1.5 d, requires that your management system "have policies and procedures to avoid involvement in any activities that would diminish confidence in its competence, impartiality, judgment, or operational integrity."
How can your laboratory effectively provide "confidence in its competence, impartiality, judgment or operational integrity?" This can be ensured through the use of detailed policies, procedures, and a program that specifically addresses these topics.
Laboratories often state within their quality manuals that they ensure the integrity of their operations but provide limited details for how this is ensured. There may also be some kind of a confidentially or ethics agreement in place that personnel signed when hired. Is this enough to ensure that all employees fully understand and retain the importance of this topic and will comply?
The laboratory should have a policy in place addressing the lab's exact position on ethics, integrity, and code of conduct. Based on this policy, procedures should be put in place that define exactly how the policy will be implemented and ensured.
Portable Ultrasonic Flow Meters and Their Applications
By: Kevin Lavelle 08/25/2010
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters are widely used throughout industrial processes in many industries because their noninvasive nature confers inherent advantages over other flow-meter technologies. Material compatibility, contamination, and corrosion risk factors are eliminated. Process integrity is unaffected, and installation costs are much lower.
A portable ultrasonic flow meter contains the same fundamental hardware as a fixed ultrasonic meter. Both use a process transmitter connected to a pair of sensors that are attached to the process piping. But a portable ultrasonic flow meter has unique capabilities that differentiate it from a standard fixed instrument.
Seeing Melanoma
By: Washington University 08/24/2010
Melanoma is one of the less common types of skin cancer, but it accounts for the majority of skin cancer deaths (about 75%). The five-year survival rate for early-stage melanoma is high (98%), but the rate drops precipitously if the cancer is detected late or there is recurrence.
So a great deal rides on the accuracy of initial surgery, where the goal is to remove as little tissue as possible while obtaining "clean margins" all around the tumor.
Up till now, no imaging technique has been up to the task of resolving the melanoma accurately enough to guide surgery. Instead, surgeons tend to cut well beyond the visible margins of the lesion to be certain they remove all the malignant tissue.
However, two scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed technologies that promise to solve this difficult problem. Their solution, described in the July issue of ACS Nano, combines an imaging technique developed by Lihong Wang, Ph.D., the Gene K. Beare Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering; and a contrast agent developed by Younan Xia, Ph.D., the James M. McKelvey Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Together, the imaging technique and contrast agent produce images of startling 3-D clarity.
Balancing the Ethics Formula
By: Abdullah Telmesani Ph.D. 08/23/2010
Achieving higher levels of ethical conduct is a balancing act. For corporations, ethical attitude and sustainable success are achieved by striking a balance between the bottom line and the interests of employees and the community. Employees' ethical behavior and success, on the other hand, are achieved by balancing their personal interests with their companies' interest.
The formula above seems to be partially compromised, according to Deloitte's recent 2010 Ethics & Workplace survey. In their struggle to survive the recession, some companies have had to make drastic decisions that are not typical to their corporate cultural norms. These decisions and their subsequent actions naturally lead to employees' uncertainty about their organizations' intentions.
3-D Scanning Helps Scientists Find Genetic Markers for Facial Abnormalities
Story update 8/26/2010: We incorrectly stated that Dr. Richard A. Spritz was from the University of Colorado in Boulder. He is actually at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver.
Researchers at the University of Calgary, University of Colorado, and University of San Francisco are using 3-D scanning in a study that may someday help children who suffer from cleft lip or palate. A severe cleft lip, in particular, can be devastating for a child in terms of physical and emotional health, as well as for the family—several corrective surgeries are required to correct a cleft lip, often leading to more than one hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses.
Through this unique study, which compares the morphology (shape) of thousands of 3-D scanned faces to the DNA of each of the scanned subjects, researchers hope to identify genetic markers that point to the possibility of a person having a cleft lip or palette, explains Benedikt Hallgrimsson, a professor for the department of cell biology and anatomy at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Brave New World of Work
By: Gartner Inc. 08/19/2010
With the lines between work and nonwork already badly frayed, Gartner Inc. predicts that the nature of work will undergo 10 key changes through 2020. Organizations will need to plan for increasingly chaotic environments that are out of their direct control, and adaptation must involve adjusting to all 10 of the trends.
"Work will become less routine, characterized by increased volatility, hyperconnectedness, 'swarming' and more," says Tom Austin, vice president and Gartner fellow. By 2015, 40 percent or more of an organization's work will be "nonroutine," up from 25 percent in 2010. "People will swarm more often and work solo less," says Austin. "They'll work with others with whom they have few links, and teams will include people outside the control of the organization. In addition, simulation, visualization, and unification technologies, working across yottabytes of data per second, will demand an emphasis on new perceptual skills."
Organizations will need to determine which of the 10 key changes in the nature of work will affect them, and consider whether radically different technology governance models will be required.
FMEA: An Investment You Hope You'll Never Need
By: Barbara A. Cleary 08/18/2010
A spate of cartoons and commentary throughout the summer has lampooned BP, Halliburton, Transocean, and Cameron International for their apparent inability to plan timely control measures that might have constrained the destruction after the blowout on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. A Congressional hearing likewise roundly criticized leaders of these corporations for failing to anticipate the possibility of a major leak as well as subsequent failures of back-up systems.
This debate will continue to rage, no doubt, but in the heat of this discussion, it may be useful to reflect on the possibilities inherent in failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for preventing or responding to defects in product or process outcomes. Because no industry is immune to product or service failure, FMEA provides a systematic analysis technique that helps identify potential problems. FMEA is utilized in all industries, from manufacturing to education to health care. The method was popularized by the auto industry but is clearly useful to any industry that experiences failures in systems or design.

Why Can't We Talk About Healthcare?
Whether it's in the office or the halls of Congress, Americans can't seem to have a rational conversation about healthcare. We'll talk with Wendell Potter, author of "Deadly Spin;" Jayne O'Donnell, health policy reporter for USA Today; and Vivian Queija of Whole Washington, which advocates for single-payer healthcare in that state.

Logan Costa, né le  à Saint-Denis, est un footballeur international cap-verdien qui évolue au poste de défenseur central au Toulouse FC.

Biographie

Costa est né à Saint-Denis, en Île-de-France, dans une famille avec des origines cap-verdiennes.

Carrière en club

Formation entre Argenteuil et Reims (jusqu'en 2021)
Après avoir commencé à jouer au football à Argenteuil, dans le Val-d'Oise, Logan Costa rejoint l'académie du Stade de Reims en 2016.

Commençant à jouer avec l'équipe reserve rémoise en Championnat National 2 à partir de la saison 2018-19, Costa reprend même le capitanat de l'équipe lors de la campagne suivante. Après quelques apparitions dans l'équipe professionnelle en Ligue 1, il est prêté au Mans en Championnat National, pour la saison 2020-21.

Débuts en prêt au Mans (2020-2021)
Avec Le Mans, qui vient d'être relégué de Ligue 2, il est l'un des joueurs les plus en vue de l'équipe et une révélation du Championnat National : titulaire lors de 26 matchs, dont il joue l'entièreté, son club ne rate que de peu les barrages de promotion en deuxième division.

Après ce prêt prometteur, Costa se voit proposer une prolongation de contrat par Reims, mais choisi de tenter sa chance ailleurs à la recherche de plus de temps de jeu. À un an de la fin du contrat, plusieurs clubs de France, d'Italie et d'Allemagne sont intéressés par le jeune défenseur central, qui est au finalement transféré au Toulouse FC en .

Affirmation à Toulouse (depuis 2021)
Costa fait ses débuts professionnels pour Toulouse le , jouant toutes les minutes d'une victoire aux tirs au but contre Libourne en Coupe de France, où il permet à son équipe de garder sa cage inviolée. Commençant la saison derrière Rasmus Nicolaisen, Bafodé Diakité et Anthony Rouault, avec une équipe visant la promotion, Costa ne fait d'abord que des apparitions sur le banc en Ligue 2. Pour autant, il s'impose comme titulaire indiscutable en Coupe de France, inscrivant même son premier but face à Trélissac.

Il cumule 15 feuilles de match avec Toulouse, dont plusieurs entrée en jeu en Ligue 2, alors que le club est sacré champion de deuxième division en , et qu'il a déjà battu le record du nombre de buts inscrits sur une saison dans la compétition. Il connait même sa première titularisation lors du dernier match de la saison contre Ajaccio.

Carrière en sélection
International avec l'équipe de France des moins de 16 ans et des moins de 17 ans, Costa a également été sélectionné avec les moins de 19 ans et moins de 20 ans français, sans toutefois jouer aucun match officiel dans une période où la plupart d'entre eux ont été annulés en raison du covid-19.

Le , il reçoit sa première convocation en équipe senior du Cap-Vert, faisant ses débuts avec l'équipe de l'état insulaire lors d'une victoire 2-0 en match amical contre la Guadeloupe.

In character
In character (IC) refers to everything in the game world. Everything your character sees, does, experiences is in character.
In character also refers to having your character behave in a manner realistic to the game world. For example, discussing the latest and most daring episode of Kids in the Hall while in the Green Griffon Tavern is not acceptable in character behavior, and would in fact be considered out of character (OOC).

Home This Just In Biden swaps U.S. basketball star for Russian 'Merchant of Death' arms dealer...
Biden swaps U.S. basketball star for Russian 'Merchant of Death' arms dealer who sold missiles to Hezbollah
WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from Russian a penal colony and is on her way back to the United States, the Biden administration announced Thursday.
The release also included the freeing of Viktor Bout, a convicted arms dealer nicknamed the "Merchant of Death," who was released by the Biden Administration from a federal prison in Illinoise in a one-for-one prisoner swap. The swap excluded retired U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, languishing in a Russian prison since 2018 on charges of spying.
Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
Bout was a Soviet military translator before the collapse of the Soviet Union. He used his connections and multiple companies to smuggle weapons from Eastern Europe to Africa and the Middle East. He was arrested in a sting operation in 2008 and extradited to the United States, where he was convicted of trying to kill U.S. citizens and officials, delivery of anti-aircraft missiles, and giving aid to a terrorist organization. He was serving a 25-year prison sentence.
Bout allegedly delivered surface-to-air missiles to Kenya for an attack on an Israeli airliner in 2002, according to the Washington Free Beacon. "And four years later, Bout reportedly met with Islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah prior to the Lebanon war. The 'Merchant of Death'"' also had a 'considerable commercial presence in Libya' during former leader Muammar Qaddafi's reign, according to intelligence records found in the country in 2011."
"Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner," President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter. "She is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home."
Griner was in Russia playing offseason basketball when she was detained by Russian law enforcement after cannabis oil was found in her possession.
"After months of being unjustly detained in Russia, held under intolerable circumstances, Brittney will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones, and she should have been there all along," Biden said during remarks from the White House on Thursday. "This was a day we worked toward for a long time."
He asked the media to give Griner time and space to heal. "Brittney is an incomparable athlete, a two-time Olympic gold medalist for team U.S.A.," Biden said. "She endured mistreatment and a show trial in Russia with characteristic grit and incredible dignity.
"We have not forgotten about Paul Whelan, who has been unjustly detained in Russia for years," Biden said. "This was not a choice of which American to bring home. We brought home Trevor Reed when we had a chance earlier this year. Sadly, for totally illegitimate reasons, Russia is treating Paul's case differently than Brittney's, and while we have not yet succeeded in securing in Paul's release, we are not giving up. We will never give up. We remain in close touch with Paul's family, and my thoughts and prayers are with them today."

This is what you voted for, America. Say what you will about Trump but he never swapped a basketball player for an arms dealer.

Jim Collman December 8, 2022 At 2:12 pm
Griner illegally took a controlled substance into Russia which they have laws against. Ms. Griner found out real quick she wasn't in the US anymore. I thought she would stay there, the US being so racist and all and she hates the national anthem. Perhaps the grass wasn't greener on the other side?
Mrs. N. December 9, 2022 At 8:36 pm
Consider the optics.
The Russky prisoner has been imprisoned for at least half of his time to serve. I don't know. A decade? At least half of his sentence. Is he the only Russian national in an American prison? He's not going to have the contacts to be as valuable to the Russian war machine that Russkies want Americans to believe. An American prison isn't going to 'reform' him, just take him out commission for a while. He's been out of Russian circulation to make arms deals while he's been in an American prison.
On the other hand, our Women's Professional Basketball teams are valuable to the USA. Most folks in the USA don't follow Women's Basketball, however according to Wikipedia (quick reference) she has impressive stats. She is one of the best women players in the world. She has played professionally for quite some time. She was an Olympian. She is black.
Consider also, far-righters and Russians are prejudiced against Black people, never mind a 6'7″ Black woman. She has been playing internationally for at least a decade in the off-season; in Russia since 2013.
Consider the optics, which is pretty much the base of the Russian disinformation campaign waged along legitimate American information. Putinsky and trumpf say they're not racist. Well, trumpf does but a person can pretty well tell that anything he says is opposite of what is real, but Putinsky is a RUSSIAN. He's tricky and he has considered the optics to further divide Americans, the basis of which trumpf used to run for President of the USA.
Ms Griner is an American citizen. The US Government works seriously to bring all its citizens home. She is not a criminal. She had personal items in her luggage (enough to start a business? hardly) which she's probably had on more than one occasion before. She is principled. She is not a coward. She is a team player. She is an American Olympian.
If folks are so concerned about the optics of 'taking a knee' then, why cannot they see that Putinsky the sadist is playing the American political optics game … because many Americans predictably will get their panties in a wad over the fact that Ms Griner is Black. That she's a woman. That she is a lesbian. (Recall that Putinsky has just rolled out another new law that criminalizes sexual orientation.) For women basketball players, compared to the mens' basketball teams they are paid 10% salaries with similar career longevity. Don't forget that American sports players have been involved in international team membership for years, as well as the players on American sports teams. Putinsky's propaganda machine banked on the fact that she uses cannabis for 'medicinal purposes'. Marinol(R) is probably not widely available in Russia, if at all.
The tactic is called 'distraction' + 'tempest in a teapot' = chaos. Pickpockets often use the ruse successfully. If you've ever studied pulling the rabbit out of the hat, there are similarities, but in this case, Putinsky is using his evil henchman as the little white bunny with pink twitching nose as a foil for the American far right dramatists in the Ukrainian war. Really, the MAGA adherents would have Americans believe that they are a majority in the USA. They are not. Americans tend to be fair-minded. Trumpf is no underdog. He never was.
Caleb Murphy December 9, 2022 At 11:11 pm
Fully agree with your thoughtful assessment.
George December 8, 2022 At 2:51 pm
Why didn't the ex-Marine businessman, held on phony .spy' charges come home 1st Joe?
He has been there 4 yrs, Ms. Griner 9 months.
Is it because the businessman is not gay? Not a POC?
Doesn't have a husband available for a WH photo op?
Ms. Griner did break their drug laws.
The same drug laws we have in many US States.
I'm glad she's home – 9 months is plenty for her crime.
But this smells of "Progressive politics" …. doesn't it?
More Dem pandering for votes.
George maybe facts that are not available to you now will persuade you
Rollo Tomasi December 8, 2022 At 4:06 pm
We should all be appalled that Biden swapped a basketball player for an arms dealer who is responsible for deaths on a huge scale – not to mention targeting US citizens for murder. Worse: a Marine veteran remains rotting in a Russian prison. Maybe he'll swap some more mass muderers for Paul Whelan. This administration is either stupid or incompetent. Hey, but at least there are no more mean tweets. Yet.
Middle of the Road December 9, 2022 At 3:26 pm
She may have ben born in America, but she isn't an American… Flag hating liberal is all she is, is that worth giving up one of the most dangerous and deadly ppl on the planet for??? Nope!!! Honestly, I wouldn't give him up for the Marine either, sorry not sorry. How many more lives did demented Joe just cost the world for one American hating liberal??? Your life, my life, not worth the price innocent ppl will pay… America is a clown show that will collapse in the next 2 years, thanks to the left and weak minded cry baby's on the right. Politics are nothing but a scam to get the populace to hate each other instead of hating the policy makers.
Give Biden this. He's very open about his priorities.
Make Russia happy? Yup.
Free US servicemen and national security? Hell no.
Got to ask: did the men left behind refuse Covid shots, vote Trump, or misgender someone?
Rollo Tomasi December 8, 2022 At 9:36 am
For the Biden gang, virtue signaling is top priority. The bunch that runs the White House never committed to not leaving a man behind. And don't tell us how Obama-Biden brought Bergdahl home from the Taliban. He was going AWOL or deserting. Good men died trying to find and rescue him. Biden negotiated from a position of weakness, Putin got what he wanted and more people will die as a result of this swap. Hey, but at least we have a basketball player home for a joyful reunion at Christmastime while a Marine veteran rots in a Russia jail…
Ted December 8, 2022 At 10:37 am
Griner is LGBTQ, Black, 6'9″, and married to another Black woman. A very important person in today's United States of America. Come'on, man.
Bullwinkle December 8, 2022 At 11:17 am
Not to mention won't show up on the court during the National Anthem and convicted of domestic violence. But hey, so important.
Ted; She makes more money than you. And will probably write a book 😉
Lakreesha December 8, 2022 At 2:09 pm
joe….. Very weird comment.
Write a book? She's barely literate. Maybe you can show her spell check. Roundball dribblers may be millionaires, but I like my life just fine. I'm not some freak LBGTQ with a same sex partner who want lots of attention with the marriage. Have another beer, joe. Enjoy your pot.
Lakreesha; I knew I'd get a rise out of you., sorry don't drink nor smoke, Merry Christmas 😉
Paul Geivette December 8, 2022 At 12:43 pm
Ted, you forgot to mention that Griner HATES her racist home country. She has made that very apparent. Let's go, Brandon.

Overheard in the White House:
"Dammit! That Musk idiot is going to release information that proves Biden is corrupt. What can we do?"
"Give Russia an arms dealer in exchange for a pot smoking, America hating, lesbian who plays a sport no one cares about. It will fill the front pages, and distract the average voter."
"Hmmm… that could work…"

Robert Schenker December 8, 2022 At 1:53 pm
Putin, the man, the myth and the Legend! Dividing America! Golly Frank, Biden is doing that quite nicely all on his own.
Even if Putin didn't exist you leftist would by needs have to create such a creature in order to have your scape goat for every one of your horrid policies.
All this swap proves is what we have always known, Biden is a Moron.
Greed is not worth it December 9, 2022 At 12:56 pm
Rumors are that Putin is losing his eyesight.
I guess when you deny truths it blinds you.
Summer December 8, 2022 At 1:20 pm
Biden's action makes people feel good, and that is sole measure of moral action in our nation today.
If it makes you feel good, even for one fleeting instant, it must therefore be good, and no one is allowed to stand in your way of achieving what makes you feel good, or even raise his voice to ask you to consider whether or not it truly is good, or whether your feelings should be the measure of right action.
Teach your children how to think critically so they will not fall prey to the temptations to live by lies.
Lucinda December 8, 2022 At 2:03 pm
Summer, sounds like you are describing religion.
Gregory Forkner December 9, 2022 At 7:01 am
It doesn't make me feel good at all that a lawbreaker smuggling hash oil illegally into a country, a person supposedly looked up to by many, was let go in exchange for a deadly and dangerous person that cost lives. Russia made a good trade here. I don't know if the 9 years she was sentenced to was too much or not, that's not for me to decide. But when you break the law, being an adult and accept the responsibilities for that. Don't have an excuse by saying I forgot it was in my luggage. All she did in the end was cost lives and that is on her and biden's conscience. They better hope God wasn't paying attention.
Biden's negotiating skills are right up there with Obama's. Now he'll pat himself on the back and take a victory lap for his great rescue. What a schmuck.
Paul in the Valley December 8, 2022 At 2:18 pm
Dennis Rodman is more effective in bringing home US citizens than biden.
Pot smoking, wife beating, America hating, basketball player.
In exchange for an evil, arms dealing, Russian pr*ck, so violent Hollywood made a movie about him.
Top priority for the amoral Dems, naturally.
What a cool WH photo op ….right?
Jonis Pistov December 8, 2022 At 4:20 pm
She will bash Russia, Russia, Russia and how she was mistreated to stoke the fires of war where Whelan,the marine, probably wouldn't say too much
Yes that might happen but they're only words. Words never heard anyone right? What else happened was the part that you don't know about. We were just about to send in cluster bombs. If you watched the last James Bond movie, they're pretty badass and that's what took him out. Look for them to not be deployed now against Russia. All this will do is lengthen the war. Make gas prices container to be higher and make inflation drag on. All for a lesbian doper that happens to play basketball.

Fieldhand December 8, 2022 At 6:27 pm
This certainly makes it easy for Russia. Find a visiting LBGT type and threaten to throw them in prison. Biden will knuckle under and sell out his countrymen in a heartbeat to appease these types.
Mark Richardson December 8, 2022 At 6:51 pm
We have a Marine we could have had instead there.
A true Patriot.
Instead, we take a drug addled, America Hating …
And, our " President " Threw hundreds of HERO's, REAL ones, to lose their heads in Afghanistan, while importing Terrorist poison to our shores.
Yep that's the plan. Weaken our country and our citizens so much that they won't be able to fight back when it's too late.
Bill Yankee December 10, 2022 At 10:16 am
A true Patriot with a less than honorable discharge from Marines. Next you'll be calling Trump a true Patriot for his bone spur exit from the draft. Keep em coming as we are running out of true Patriots with all of those Jan 6 insurrectionists being imprisoned lately. Heheh!
MBitsko December 9, 2022 At 8:31 am
Taking a page from the Taliban's playbook, Putin pulled a fast one on Brandon. First they promised to swap both prisoners, then at the last minute they pulled back Whelan. I can almost hear the laughter echoing throughout the Kremlin.
George December 9, 2022 At 10:33 am
I wonder if a reporter will ask this woman how it feeds to have this Russian gangster/murderer let loose on the world because of her & her weed habit?
Love the comments here—it's like y'all are competing to kiss Putin's ring. It's no surprise that no matter what the administration is doing, it's the wrong choice. Bout went home after fifteen years in a US prison where he gave up nothing. Now that Griner is released, y'all do nothing but defame her—all the more appalling folks here talk about her hating America and not being worth it. True patriots you are. Griner coming isn't the end of it—much like the Trump administration, the Biden administration will continue to negotiate for his release. But it's cool, Griner is black and gay so she isn't a real Christian American like y'all are so she should rot in a gulag. So…patriotic and Christian, leave no man behind, but the black lesbian isn't worth it. Pat yourselves on the back for at least being honest about who you are.
Lucinda December 9, 2022 At 11:24 pm
Agree with you MRAK fan. Posters here would kill their parents if they said a nice word about Biden. Speaking of posters …. here comes flame thrower Jefferson … astride his quivering keyboard to skewer the leftist liberal leftists. Oh the humanity! Oh the sharp edge of bile. Such pain stabbed into reason.

House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading) has appointed Representative Donald Wong (R-Saugus) to serve as his permanent designee on the Metropolitan Beaches Commission.
Created as part of the Fiscal Year 2015 state budget, the Commission was recently expanded from 19 to 27 members and is responsible for conducting an annual review of the existing maintenance, operational and infrastructure needs of the state's metropolitan beaches. In addition to identifying any security measures and capital-intensive repairs necessary to ensure the future recreational use of these beaches, the Commission is also charged with examining best management practices and alternative funding sources – including public-private partnerships and nonprofit entities – to promote improved water quality and beautification efforts.
"Our state beaches are wonderful natural resources, and Representative Wong is committed to working with the Metropolitan Beaches Commission to ensure that they are properly maintained and remain fully accessible for the enjoyment of all residents," Representative Jones said in announcing the appointment.
The 18 metropolitan beaches that fall under the purview of the Commission include: Nahant Beach in Nahant; Red Rock Park, King's Beach and Lynn Beach in Lynn; Revere Beach and Short Beach in Revere; Winthrop Beach in Winthrop; Constitution Beach, Carson Beach, City Point Beach, M Street Beach, Pleasure Bay, Malibu Beach, Savin Hill Beach, and Tenean Beach in Boston; Wollaston Beach and Squantum Point Park in Quincy; and Nantasket Beach in Hull.
In addition to Representative Wong, the Commission is comprised of 11 other state legislators; 1 member appointed by the Governor or the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs; 1 member appointed by the Commissioner of Conservation and Recreation; and 3 members appointed by the Mayor of Boston, including 1 resident each from East Boston, Dorchester and South Boston. The Commission also includes 6 members representing the communities of Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, Quincy and Hull, and 4 members representing the philanthropic, non-profit, business and academic communities in the Greater Boston area.
The Commission is responsible for holding annual hearings to solicit testimony from interested stakeholders, including local municipalities, non-profit organizations, friends' groups, and business and community leaders. The Commission is also required to file an annual report containing its recommendations with the Senate and House chairs of the Joint Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, and the clerks of the two legislative branches.
Representative Wong represents the Ninth Essex District, which includes portions of Saugus, Lynn and Wakefield. A former Saugus Town Meeting member and past Chairman of the Saugus Board of Selectmen, Representative Wong is currently serving his third term in the Massachusetts Legislature.

O FASSCISMO NAO PASARA! COMICIO. UDP SAB. 6 21.30 P. DESPORTES.; Portuguese Protest Poster
Lisbon? Unknown, (1974-76). Poster 17" x 24". Red and White with black lettering. Excellent condition. Item #83451
Political and Historical Context: The Portuguese revolution of April 25th, 1974-the "Carnation Revolution" (Revolução dos Cravos)-was profoundly important not only for Portugal itself but for all of Western Europe as well. By the time it ran its course, in 1976, the Revolution had ended the Salazarist Estado Novo, the longest authoritarian regime in Western Europe, and brought Portugal, one of the continent's poorest countries whose economy was controlled by a handful of industrial groups, into the mainstream of European liberal democracies. Portugal's revolution also initiated the so-called "third wave of democratization," a process that spread to Greece, Spain, and Latin America. Between April, 1974, when a small group of army officers led by Otelo Saraivo de Carvalho staged a coup and brought down the regime, and April 1976, when elections brought Mário Soares into office as head of Portugal's first constitutional government, the country passed through a period of extreme turbulence, characterized by strikes, mass demonstrations, social unrest, and threats of right-wing counter coups. For at least eighteen months, however, the trend of the revolution was strongly leftward. Workers took over some 300 factories, a great many latifundia were occupied, and working class organizations-factory and revolutionary committees, agricultural cooperatives, professional syndicates and trade unions-exerted critical influence. Political parties and movements likewise proliferated during this period. The revolution had been immediately accompanied by the end of censorship, and as in all revolutionary situations, political posters were soon ubiquitous.

Q: Replacement for nslookup on windows This is on Win2k3 DNS server.
In troubleshooting some dns issues this morning I started seeing some odd results from nslookup. I searched a bit and found that many believe nslookup is a flawed tool.
My experience this morning suggests this may be the case and nslookup is not giving results based on what DNS actually is.
So, my question is, what is a good replacement dns query tool for Windows? I've seen netdig recommended, but mvptools.com seems to be gone and I can't find a mirror.

A: BIND is available for Win32 platforms, and it includes all of the usual query utilities, such as dig and host. You don't need to actually install the server, just unzip the distribution file somewhere and add the directory to your PATH.
A somewhat heavier approach is to install Cygwin and then install the bind package available for it, which comes with all of the same utilities (though not the named server).

A: Dig can be found here.  But NSlookup on windows seems to be pretty good so far.

A: I use nslookup on Windows and dig on Linux.  I do mostly Windows admin, so whenever I have to use dig \, I have to refresh my memory of how it works.  I don't know what problems you've been having, but I've always found that nslookup with the right TYPE=whatever argument works fine.

A: Just be aware that the problems you are seeing may have nothing to do with nslookup itself. If you are not specifying the server to use it will use whatever DNS server your network config specifies. If that server returns incorrect information, perhaps because it is cached, then so will nslookup. Try pointing it to a different DNS server, preferably one outside your network, and see if you get the same results.

A: There is a windows version DIG you can try. Here is the link,http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/dig/

A: I don't use Microsoft windows so can't advise directly on reliable sources for tools on that platform (I use dig and nslookup under GNU/Linux) but there are plenty of online gateways to dig and other tools, including nslookup, that may be sufficient if you are looking at Internet-based problems. A Google search will turn up lots. I just tried http://www.digdns.org/dig-dns and http://www.kloth.net/services/dig.php and both seemed to work well. Additionally, ISPs often provide these tools on their websites for customers who don't have native tools on their own computers.

A: nslookup should return exactly "what DNS is".  Your results may vary based on what server you point to or the type of query you do, but nslookup can only return what the DNS server offers.
Some additional details on what is different than what you expect would help answer this question.
Commands:   (identifiers are shown in uppercase, [] means optional)
NAME            - print info about the host/domain NAME using default server
NAME1 NAME2     - as above, but use NAME2 as server
help or ?       - print info on common commands
set OPTION      - set an option
    all                 - print options, current server and host
    [no]debug           - print debugging information
    [no]d2              - print exhaustive debugging information
    [no]defname         - append domain name to each query
    [no]recurse         - ask for recursive answer to query
    [no]search          - use domain search list
    [no]vc              - always use a virtual circuit
    domain=NAME         - set default domain name to NAME
    srchlist=N1[/N2/.../N6] - set domain to N1 and search list to N1,N2, etc.
    root=NAME           - set root server to NAME
    retry=X             - set number of retries to X
    timeout=X           - set initial time-out interval to X seconds
    type=X              - set query type (ex. A,ANY,CNAME,MX,NS,PTR,SOA,SRV)
    querytype=X         - same as type
    class=X             - set query class (ex. IN (Internet), ANY)
    [no]msxfr           - use MS fast zone transfer
    ixfrver=X           - current version to use in IXFR transfer request
server NAME     - set default server to NAME, using current default server
lserver NAME    - set default server to NAME, using initial server
finger [USER]   - finger the optional NAME at the current default host
root            - set current default server to the root
ls [opt] DOMAIN [> FILE] - list addresses in DOMAIN (optional: output to FILE)
    -a          -  list canonical names and aliases
    -d          -  list all records
    -t TYPE     -  list records of the given type (e.g. A,CNAME,MX,NS,PTR etc.)
view FILE           - sort an 'ls' output file and view it with pg
exit            - exit the program

A: There are a number of DNS tools you can use that are command line utilities.  There are a number of GUI based DNS tools as well.  However for what you ask... By far the simplest solution is to google yourself a "Web NSLOOKUP" website and run your queries from there.  There are numerous sites out there, so you can just pick the one that strikes your fancy.
This is useful especially when you are trying to query a DNS server on the other side of your own firewall.  This will show you what the rest of the world is seeing.
However I would like to make one commend about NSLOOKUP for windows that is relevant here.
It seems that DNS resolution can be cached locally on a workstation itself if the settings for the DNS records are incorrectly set.  In some cases I have had to flush the DNS cache to get certain things to work properly.  Even on a DNS server I still think it resolves DNS for itself through your local DNS server specified in your network settings by default. So it is important to untangle that detail and the DNS caching first to get a good picture of what is actually going on.
if you don't already know.... to flush the DNS resolved cache is "IPCONFIG /flushdns

Chicago native and Morehouse-bound Kayin Barclay is currently competing in the 13th North American Chess Association FIDE Invitational. This is his first closed norm tournament and he is looking to make a good showing. Barclay, a two-time Denker representative, is also attempting to get the requisite score to reach the 2200 USCF rating.
The tournament is hosted by IM Angelo Young at the Touch Chess Center on North Ashland in Chicago. The tournament will run through July 25th. The tournaments are held throughout the year and has given several rising juniors a chance to compete against strong competition. The 13 tournaments have offered opportunities for IM norms… three are needed (and a 2400 FIDE rating) to earn the actual title.
Thus far, five rounds have been played, but the NACA website only has results up to round four. Kayin Barclay plays Jake Kleiman in round 6. Crosstable and pairings here.
Tate and I both have 2 points out of 5. I drew IM's Tate and Kuderinov. I lost to FM Stamnov and IM-elect Pasalic even though I was winning both. I beat Michael Thaler from NY last night even though I was blessed when he messed up an attack.
A draw with FM Florin Felecan keeps Barclay at an even score (3.5/7). He should be over 2200 now.
I read an interesting article on your father and I wish you a happy belated birthday ( Jun 19 ) . Great to see you doing well but Tom Fineberg is not.
Barclay beats Akopian. No not THAT Akopian! He beat Robert Akopian and now sits on +1. He will close out the tournament by playing IM Mesgen Amanov. If he's able to hold this game, he'd end on a solid score and a near-2500 performance rating.
Well, well Marvin! I have heard about Fineberg, but not the latest. Well… Fineberg may be glad to know that Kayin Barclay is going to be a Master in a matter of days.
Yes… the book is going fairly well, but there have been challenges. I saw the other Marvin (Dandridge) during the Chicago Open and he met my father.
Go K. Barclay, I saw this young brother in Georgia for the High school championships. Didn't get a chance to talk to him, but he seemed like a humble young man. I am pulling for you lil bro. Raise the bar for those coming behind you. Make your mark and it will outlive you. Strive to paint masterpieces of art with your play. Know that I for one am pulling for you to get your IM and GM titles. Coach Rene' and The Chess Gym!
Barclay closed out the tournament by falling against Amanov, but what a strong performance! I have checked the USCF rating estimator and his performance puts him a tad over 2200. Below are his opponents' USCF rating in case someone wants to calculate.
This is still a solid result for that tournament. I could only wish to have such results. I remember the environment when I was in Chicago a couple of months ago. Playing in such intimate conditions can be intimidating for some people. I am sure the pressure is intense to perform solidly.
I am very proud of Kayin and look forward to seeing him in Atlanta.
Good stick-to-it-ness Kayin…you started slow but finished solid = great!!
Wow. From Emory Castle to this…I was honored to see him progress. Do it, young Morehouse!
Congrats Kayin, there is no limit to your potential to expand. I wish you balanced peace (Maat-Hetep) in all your future endeavors.
glad to see someone from little bitty Morehouse do something with themselves…hehehe!
Below are the final standings of the 13th North American FIDE Invitational. FM Aleksander Stamnov lost to tailender Robert Akopian and came up short in his quest for an IM norm. That is a classic scenario that will haunt Stamnov for a long time. Michael Thaler started strong, but lost his last two games to finish even along with Barclay. IM Emory Tate has a disappointing show and ended on a loss to FM Jake Kleiman. It would be interesting to get a look at the games from the tourament. According to Barclay, the organizers kept the scoresheets.
school and chess appropriately. I am always available for discussion.
Check out new essay on Kayin Barclay!
Who will be going to Miami for the tournament, Sept 10 – 14? Looking for a roommate.
I have tentative plans for Miami. This may actual be the last tourney I can play in this year, since I have several trips abroad planned.
One way or another I will see you soon.
The tournament is now rated.
Congratulations Kayin on earning the title of National Master!
Congratulations on successfuly fulfilling the master title of the most wonderful game of all time!

If you're a fan of Rebecca Black's "Friday," then you're in for a real treat with this one. It's a tribute to social media like no other. In fact, out of all the songs that have been written about social media, it stands alone as the greatest.
Meet Mary McCoy from Continuum Marketing Services, who performed "Let's Get Social" as a warm-up act for a keynote panel at this year's Social Media Marketing World. Hashtag epic. And my, what a voice on this gal.
Now it's YOUR turn to "get social with social media." Let's share the crap out of this awesomeness.


There are a couple of important changes for employers to note that take effect from today (1st October 2012) with regards to minimum pay rates and pension enrolment.
The principal National Minimum Wage rate has increased from £6.08 to £6.19 per hour for employees aged 21 and over. The other rates have stayed the same (£3.68 for 16-17 year olds and £4.98 for 18-20 year olds) with the exception of the apprentice rate which has increased from £2.60 to £2.65.
The new pension auto-enrolment arrangements come into force today for very large employers. Smaller employers may feel that they have some time to comply, but the requirements are complex and employers should therefore start to discuss their current pension arrangements with their pension provider or an independent financial advisor to ensure that they are ready for their own staging date. See http://bit.ly/PGkvLO for more details.

Bus / Golf Ball style compact high output LED lamp suitable for 12 and 24 volt systems.
This BA22D compact, constant-current, Bus / Golf Ball style lamp utilises the latest high output 2835 LEDs which offer significantly increased light output when compared to 5050 and 5630 LEDs. The lamp has the added benefit of reduced power input when compared to similar sized 5050 lamps.
This lamp is available in day white for utility and work areas and warm white for living areas. This lamp is ideal to sympathetically light your boat's interior particularly where the lamp may be visible. It is also available in an E27 fitting.
The lamp is fitted with an on board electronic fuse (non-linear thermistor) and transient voltage (spike) protection diode and is an excellent fit in most wall light fixtures. It is particularly suitable for use on boats where there is some previous experience of LED lamp failures.
This high output lamp, compares very well in terms of both colour and light output with a 25W incandescent lamp. Our on-board Buck-Boost electronic control circuit ensures a constant bright light output when the supply voltage varies and contributes to a long service life. These lamps are designed to minimise EMI, unlike other similar looking lamps sold for non marine use. We utilise specially designed PCB layouts which avoid tracks acting as antenna that radiate EMI (electromagnetic interference).


Ask fellow campers about "Southern Comfort RV Resort" and nearby attractions.
WiFi is HORRIBLE. We have been here 5 months and the owner claims we are the only ones to complain. The regular snowbirds say they gave up years ago and have their own data packages. There are supposed to be routers sprinkled through out the park. Even standing under them, the signal drops out after a minute or two.
The pool is warm and only busy the months of January and February. Lots of activities (in Dec- Feb.) if you are a joiner.
Karaoke every Friday night, if you wish. Propane and rig washing are also available. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Used for overnight stop, served purpose very well. Nice and quiet, kids enjoyed pool. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
When we checked in they gave us a site but it had a truck parked on it,, called the office they said to just pick one nearby. Good location & close the Keys, Park is not that quiet with bikes going in & out, Tiki bar on site has loud music on weekends till midnight doing karoke. Old laundry room, sites are tight & hard to get in to other vehicles in the way. Lots of snowbirds. Probably won't be back. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.
Take a ride over to Biscane park nearby. Key Largo 30 min. away. Outlet mall across the road, close to shopping, restaurants nearby. Can be hard getting in to Park off southbound turnpike ramp diving over to 4 lanes of traffic to turn left.
Older park with very tight roads and sites. Bad WIFI and no cable. Satellite if you get a good site. Way overpriced for what you get. Lots of permanents and 1/2 time snowbird permanents. Nice pool and has a bar on premises. Some activities. Mostly level grass back in full hook up 30 & 50 amp sites. You have to get everyone to move their vehicles to get into and out of your site. Will find another place next time. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Snowbirds, but more so long-termers. Tight fit from perspective of folks with trucks parked in front of their units half in the narrow gravel site pathways. This was a stayover for us so we could then arrive in Key West early next day. Wifi poor as usual for any place we stay. No store that I'm aware of. PROS: Very accessible off main highway heading onward to Homestead, and Key west. Walmart and other stores can be biked to somewhat safely. Fairly quiet after 10PM. CONS: Lots of noisy motorcycles during day leaving...later coming back, but hey...nothing worse than many with trucks/etc. coming going at typical park. Tiki Bar not open except for certain dates/events ?? I would stay again ONLY for one night, it's ok. They allowed one "resident" to post giant political sign across his vehicle, with jeers to those voting for the opposing candidate. This makes this resort look stupid. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Purely stay-over on way to Key West, close to highway and stores like Publics on the way out.
We stayed 3 months. And have booked for same time next year. The place is well maintained and staff is lovely. The guests are quite nice also.
We all have our own needs/selections and we do. It is not a 5star resort with snobby people. It is a medium place with just enough restrictions to keep it pleasant.
I don't feel like I am describing how much we liked it. We met lot of people who have been coming here for more than 10 years. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Weekly rate. This park is about location. Right at the entrance to the Florida Keys with access to the Keys without the price. The park is older but very pleasant. Restrooms and showers are well maintained and clean. The pool is elevated, heated and very well maintained. The clubhouse is large and much used for all types of activities. The Tiki Bar is unique and the drinks are good and reasonably priced. The sites are mostly grass but due to heavy rains this year many of them were mud, but the office had no problem with moving us to a grass site from our original muddy one. Everyone here was friendly and helpful. The only problem we had was the roads are very narrow and people parked their vehicles right on the edge of the road. I had to go around three times to get lined up on our site so I could get in. Also beware there are many mature trees with low limbs making it dangerous to get into and out of some sites with tall rigs. WiFi was very spotty and due to the trees TV reception was restricted. I would stay here again when in the area. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Beware!! If southbound on the turnpike and you get off to go to the park, you have a very short distance to get across three lanes of traffic to turn left to the park. A few drivers were not happy with me by the time I got there with a full size Dually and a 37 ft. 5th wheel.
This is an old park, with narrow but passable roads. It's at the far south end of Florida. Great for going to the Everglades or the Keys. Sites are on grass. Some have concrete patios; ours didn't. WIFI is almost non-existent. When it worked, it was very slow. Park is very quiet. We had a pull-through - essential for our size with these narrow roads. Still, it was a nice place to stay and would stay here again. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Great location for going to the Everglades, Keys, or "Robert is Here" - an iconic fruit and vegetable stand that serves incredible fruit shakes.
We stayed for 2 nights over New Years Eve. Park is tightly packed with narrow spots and very narrow roads, making it difficult to get in and out. Had to ask the guest across from our spot to move his truck to make it possible for me to hitch up.
The site is on grass with a small concrete patio. There are many huge tree roots under the grass, making it impossible to put the stakes for the awning straps into the ground.
The picnic table was an old wooden thing that was completely deformed of age and the high humidity.
Great location with shopping and restaurants within 5 minutes from the park. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice RV park just south of Homestead, FL. We planned to stay a couple of days & move on to the Keys. Then, we enjoyed our stay so much that we signed up for 2 more weeks with no hesitation. This is a very laid-back RV Resort. The maintenance guys are friendly & keep the park neat & clean. The office staff have been very friendly & helpful during our stay. The only reason I didn't give this park a higher rating is that the sites are pretty close together. All sites are grass & many have a concrete pad. Roads are paved. The Tiki Bar is a nice place to relax & have a few drinks in the evening. Bartender is friendly and helpful. They even held a Super Bowl party where we were invited to bring our favorite appetizer / snack. We had a great time & the other folks staying here are all easy-going & fun to talk to. They have a breakfast buffet every other week which is very good. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
We drove the full length of the Keys. Neat restaurants to enjoy! Miami Beach is a fun place to visit. And the Broward Center for the Performing Arts is just a short drive away. We happened to catch the Lion King Broadway show there.
A pleasant park with paved roads, grassy sites, and shade trees. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good security. Wi-Fi was free and reliable most of the time. Handy location to tour the area sights: Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. There is a Tiki Bar open four nights a week to the public! We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Easy access from highway but far enough away that noise is not a problem. Sites are mostly grass with some concrete patios. As with most Florida parks it has a large winter season population as well as some longer term residents. WI-FI was reasonable and they offer storage. Good short term park, we would stay again if in the area. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.
We have stayed here several times in the past 6 years. This park has beautiful trees and flowering shrubs throughout. Also one of the grounds workers was the nicest man, he couldn't speak English, but tried hard. There's not enough space here to state the negatives unfortunately. The owner rides around in a gulf cart looking for sites to complain about. She is not very nice to talk with. The office help are indifferent, and not very friendly. We were promised a specific site on the phone only to find it was given to someone else right before we arrived. The lady told us we weren't allowed to request a site. Every time we went in the office there was another note telling all of us what we could or couldn't do and the consequences. They were enforced randomly, many blatantly ignoring the "latest" new rule and yet another would be asked to leave wondering "why them" when no one else was. The sites are close together and the concrete pads are too small and too far back to be useful. Every time it rained we had a mess out our front door. They have a public Tiki Bar in the middle of the park and every night awful karaoke could be heard loudly even in the remotest areas. We never did get comfortable with non-campers coming and going at all hours. The Wi-Fi was a joke, when we made the reservation we were told they had just updated the Wi-Fi in the entire park. Our site was right behind the office this time and we never had good signal or kept getting kicked off. We had to call and ask them to restart the service every other day. The bathrooms and showers were somewhat clean but old and smelly, with stained and broken tile. They have a laundry room with many old non-efficient machines. The dryers took forever to dry anything. We understand this park is being sold to accommodate a casino, and there has been no money put into updating anything in this park for years. This is a gem waiting to be polished. Too bad it won't get its chance. This area needs a really nice RV park. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice, comfortable park. Friendly hosts and helped us find a nice restaurant. Would recommend again! My wife used the washers and was happy. All facilities were clean and very good condition. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.
We stayed there monthly and the monthly rate included a certain amount of electricity which we never went over. The people were friendly, the staff friendly and most helpful. One of our party had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and the staff bent over backwards to help us. The biggest problem is that the sites are narrow and you are very close to your next door neighbor. We camped at Southern Comfort RV Resort in a Motorhome.

Gareth Owen has said that the tragic helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium last week will add extra emotion ahead of Leicester Tigers' game this weekend.
The helicopter belonging to Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashed outside the stadium after their game against West Ham, costing the lives of five people on board. There has been an outpouring of emotion from all over the sporting world this week and there will be a minute's silence ahead of kick-off at Welford Road in the Premiership Rugby Cup fixture against Worcester Warriors tomorrow.
Tigers centre Owen says the events of the last week give extra meaning to the game.
Owen came off the bench in the Cup opener at Saracens last Saturday but insists a young side can take plenty of positives from the game.
Worcester have won on their last two visits to Welford Road, and Tigers will be keen to right those wrongs, but Owen has said that all the focus is on themselves rather than their opponents.
