Sometimes they have to take second choice, but they have thus far always found a place. I cannot say

first of all, I'm Johannes from Germany and found this community while I was searching for more information about travelling the American West by RV. I've just registered and hope that you can help me.
We booked an RV from San Francisco to Las Vegas in July (End) and August. Our route contains holiday car rental paris the following main stops(so far): San Francisco, holiday car rental paris Monterey, Los Angeles, Calico, Bullhead City, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Bryce NP, Zion NP, Las Vegas.
- We don't want to book all available RV campgrounds holiday car rental paris in advance holiday car rental paris because we're not sure yet where we want to stay for how long. We found many alternatives, for example: parking at Walmart or simply at the roadside. Is this possible? Can we travel this route this way, i.e. without any reserved campground?
And you will how to figure out transportation from RV campgrounds into the cities you want to see. LA is a special issue - since it really isn't doable by public transit and driving around/parking an RV might be challenging
Many towns in the west/southwest do have dumping facilities but I would make sure to know where they are and how much room is in holding tanks etc. Not sure about how often you need to charge electricity etc]
Many Walmarts holiday car rental paris have stopped allowing RVs to park there and no you cannot just park your RV along the side of the road anywhere (although I have read this is possible in National Forest lands) or you might get asked to move on, or issued a fine.
OK - have you prepaid for the motor home? If so you are sort of stuck. But if you have only booked/paid holiday car rental paris a deposit I'd VERY seriously consider canceling. The places you want to travel are not nice in an RV in the summer. You will need to run the air conditioning all night to hope to get any sleep. You would be able to cover more territory easier/cheaper/faster if you rent a car and stay in motels. In fact I'd even consider canceling if you've paid a non-refundable deposit - unless it is a huge amount holiday car rental paris of $$/
But if you have pre-paid in full, and must return the vehicle in Las Vegas then yes, you are stuck - I'd maybe consider changing plans and heading north-ish after SF and the coast (Lake Tahoe, the Sierra) and end up in Las Vegas to drop the RV. Or even head north of SF along the coast and then hit Lassen before Tahoe etc.
I live here and wouldn't do it and I drive these roads daily. Not in a big honkering RV. Narrow roads - 1 lane in each direction that were not built for wide loads; steep drop-off with no shoulders; steep grades which are as tricky going up as down and the every present person who is nervous and rides their brakes only to have them burn; curvy roads where you can not always see oncoming traffic and all those other people driving RV's for the first time - in front of you, behind you and coming at you. Summer is my least favorite time to live in the mountains.
What is wrong IMO is spending a huge amount of money for a one-way RV rental, over seriously holiday car rental paris twisty/narrow roads (Big Sur won't be hot but not a fun road in a motorhome) , in the heat of the southwest in August. Can't think of much 'right' w/ that plan.
I've full time RV'd for 4 years and thereafter and continuing this year to Sturgis Motorcycle holiday car rental paris Ralley and later to Baja California (Mexico). Higly recommend RV travel. BUT - look for a Class C RV about 27 feet that is manageable on any paved park roads.
holiday car rental paris As others have pointed out, you may find trying to visit some of the paces on your list difficult in the RV. Another consideration is that even if you can access these places with the RV it means you have to "break camp" every day - stowing away anything you've taken out. We tow a Jeep behind our motorhome for these very reasons. Also, if you aren't accustomed to driving one, that could also be a factor.
As for finding a place a stay without holiday car rental paris reservations - much will depend on the day of the week and if there are any special events occurring at the same time you'll be in a given area. Some Wal-Marts allow overnight parking - others do not. If it's hot, you'll have to run your generator if you're "boondocking" - which is what most people call staying in an RV in a location which doesn't have electrical and/or water hook-ups. This doesn't just refer to Wal-Marts and such but also to some National Forests and Bureau holiday car rental paris of Land Management holiday car rental paris areas.
Sometimes they have to take second choice, but they have thus far always found a place. I cannot say if this will be your experience as you are traveling at a different time of year - they were in Arizona late April and Utah, early May. In the Grand Canyon they did what they call 'dry camping' (no electrical hookups) and used flashlights, etc. instead.
To the best of my knowledge, they didn't do any 'free-camping' i.e. parking at the side of the road. I don't know if this was personal preference or because it was the local law, but they have always used RV parks. This may change once they get to the Yukon.
Before leaving home, they did a bit of practice driving. They are used to driving a truck, but even they found their RV to be wider than what they were used to. Also the turning radius was much larger - something to be aware of in gas stations. If you can, get in some practice with an RV of similar size before you leave Germany.

Every four minutes, a jetliner or turboprop roars in -- 500 feet above his front door -- for a landing. The noise is so loud it forces Lancaster to pause during conversations. But he doesn't mind. Lancaster puts up with the smell of jet fuel and screaming engines to save time and money.
The 60-year-old aviator's primary residence is a cottage he shares with his wife overlooking a quiet bay off Puget Sound in Washington state. Living best western university inn hammond in Lot B while he's on duty means he doesn't have to rent a Los Angeles apartment with other pilots best western university inn hammond or spend 12 hours a day commuting to and from the Seattle area
There are, indeed, a good number best western university inn hammond of people in other professions who choose to commute to work. This is an interesting solution, but there are problems with it, some hinted at in the article, some not. An RV needs fresh water and sewage dump periodically. The frequency best western university inn hammond depends on the size of the RV and the number and habits of the residents. It also needs electricity best western university inn hammond - while you can use a generator, this adds noise to the area and also you then need gasoline periodically. best western university inn hammond If you want heat, hot water, a working refrigerator, or cooking ability, you need propane periodically. So it isn't just like having an apartment on the airport parking lot - if you want "all the comforts of home", you have to take it to where you can get those things once in a while, probably at least once every 14 days you spend in it.
In addition to noise, RVs can be rocked pretty best western university inn hammond well by wind. I don't know what the wake turbulence of a jumbo jet would do to one, but if it is close enough to the runway, I would expect it would be noticable.

Idea for a Story on Prisoner Airline Really Took Off June 14, 1997 By ERIC MALNIC, Four years ago, s

One of the late Eric Malnic's royal caribbean cruises line more remarkable experiences royal caribbean cruises line was his involvement in "Con Air." Here's his original story, which inspired the film. When Jailbirds Fly, They Always Use Con Air Travel: The amenities are few and the passengers are manacled. But the Marshals Service provides necessary jet transport royal caribbean cruises line to prisons and trials for inmates. August 9, 1993 By ERIC MALNIC, TIMES STAFF WRITER The airline uses conventional passenger jets and makes scheduled stops at more than three dozen cities across the United States. Aside from that, Con Air is a little different.
There are no movies to watch, magazines to read or pillows to make a nap more comfortable. Window shades stay up, seats don t recline and tray tables are stowed even when lunch is served. The passengers, who are not told where they are going or when they are expected to get there, must receive permission to use the lavatory. And if they give a flight attendant any trouble, they may end up with their manacled hands taped around tennis balls and pantyhose stretched over their heads. But it s really not too bad, said Michael Reid, 29, a penitentiary inmate who is facing charges of assaulting a federal officer. There s some play in the chains, and the handcuffs aren t too tight. Welcome to the Air Operations Division of the U.S. Marshals Service, which is known in the trade as Con Air and flies more than 56,000 prisoners around the country every year for court appearances, medical examinations and prison transfers. The Los Angeles area, with its collection of nearby federal detention facilities, is one of the principal stops, royal caribbean cruises line but you will not find any of Con Air s planes nosing up to a jet way at Los Angeles International Airport. Instead, for security reasons, they use one of the outlying airfields, and officials would rather not say which ones. Schedules change frequently and are not announced, even to the passengers. Con Air s planes--a couple of Boeing 727s, along with several smaller jets--are painted with anonymous markings that give little clue as to who is inside. The 727 that touched down here about 8:30 one morning last month taxied briskly to a remote spot on the Tarmac, where two buses, a couple of vans and a black sedan were waiting. As the airliner rolled to a stop, a dozen trim federal Bureau of Prisons guards formed royal caribbean cruises line a protective cordon around it--faces impassive, eyes watchful behind reflective sun glasses, shotguns held at the ready. In addition, 11 unarmed guards from the Marshals Service, clad in crisp, blue military fatigues and well-shined jump boots, moved into position beside the plane. royal caribbean cruises line The unloading of prisoners bound for detention centers in downtown Los Angeles, Terminal Island, Lompoc and Boron and the boarding of others headed outside Southern California took a tedious 1 1/2 hours. royal caribbean cruises line There were the body searches to look for hidden contraband. There were the shackles--handcuffs attached to waist chains, leg irons on each ankle--that forced the inmates to shuffle slowly along. Orders royal caribbean cruises line were issued quietly and obeyed without dispute. They know who we are. We know who they are, said Frank Kolacz, royal caribbean cruises line 53, a burly marshal who would be one of the guards on the flight. They realize we ve got a job to do. Finally the plane, which seats six across in about 25 rows from front to back, was loaded and ready to go. On board were 85 prisoners, the 11 Marshals Service guards, two medical technicians, two clerks and a couple of journalists, in addition to the pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer. The women prisoners sat in front, separated from the men by three rows used by the guards. The prisoners remained shackled at hand and foot at all times, and those thought to be a security risk had a rigid plastic black box clamped between the handcuffs to further restrict mobility. At 9:40 a.m., the voice of the pilot, Bill Rice, crackled over the intercom. His message was terse and devoid of information about flying time, cruising altitudes and how to put on an oxygen mask. Buckle your seat belts, Rice said. Keep your heads and feet out of the aisles. The big jet took off and headed east. A few of the prisoners chatted quietly, but for the most part they sat in silence, staring off into space. There was nothing for them to read, not even an emergency procedures card or a bag printed with instructions on what to do if you get airsick. But they keep their minds active, thinking about how to escape, Kolacz said. If you ve got a life sentence, royal caribbean cruises line why not? Kolacz was quick to add that any attempt to escape while on a Con Air flight would be fruitless. There s never been a successful escape attempt on Con Air, he said. A bullet hole through the fuselage might lead to explosive decompression that could break up the plane, so the guards, royal caribbean cruises line most of whom are retired police officers, rely on experience, muscle and, if necessary, stun guns that are out of sight. That s all we d ever need, Kolacz said. If they cause trouble, we put cargo straps over them or tape their hands around tennis balls. If they bite or spit, we put pantyhose over their heads. You might get a loudmouth, but most of these people are real peaceful and quiet, said Albert Johnson, 64, a guard who spent 20 years with the Oklahoma City Police Department and 18 years with the Sheriff s Department in Oklahoma County, before joining the Marshals royal caribbean cruises line Service. Fifteen minutes after takeoff, each prisoner was handed a small cardboard lunch box containing a meal that could give commercial airline food a good name. In each box were two brown-bread sandwiches. One contained a single royal caribbean cruises line slice of turkey baloney, royal caribbean cruises line the other a single slice of processed cheese. No mustard. No mayonnaise. No lettuce. The box also held an apple, a granola bar and a small plastic bottle of fruit punch. The lunch could be better, said Reid, a pale, soft-spoken royal caribbean cruises line Canadian who was able to feed himself despite the black box locked between his handcuffs because of his alleged assault on a federal officer. He s right about the lunch, said Kenneth Collins, 29, a massive man seated royal caribbean cruises line nearby royal caribbean cruises line who explained that he is serving a life term without the possibility of parole for his part in a drug conspiracy. Reid was on his way to a court appearance in Washington state. Collins, who wore flexible handcuffs, said he was headed for a prison in Terre Haute, Ind., because it s closer to my home. I d rather not be traveling, Reid said. When you re in prison, you ve got your niche. You re more comfortable. Moving disrupts royal caribbean cruises line all that, but this sure beats going by bus. Kolacz said that until Con Air was established with the transfer of two jetliners from the Federal Aviation Administration in 1984, prisoners traveled the country in prison vehicles and, occasionally, on commercial flights. Some airlines had refused to let prisoners travel royal caribbean cruises line manacled, so each convict had to be accompanied by a guard, and sometimes two. This is much more cost-effective than the commercial flights, royal caribbean cruises line and much faster than the sedans and vans, Kolacz said. With the eastbound royal caribbean cruises line 727 leveled off at cruising altitude, the guards patrolled the length royal caribbean cruises line of the jetliner, reminding prisoners to keep the aisles clear, tray tables up and window shades open. We want the space clear, so we can move quickly, and plenty of light, so we can see everything, Kolacz explained. We never fly at night. As they strolled the aisles, the guards would stop occasionally for a brief, amiable exchange with a prisoner. Some are such frequent fliers who know us by name, Kolacz said. But unlike American (Airlines), royal caribbean cruises line we don t give Advantage royal caribbean cruises line Miles. About 40 minutes after takeoff, the jet began to descend. It was only as the plane settled onto the runway that the prisoners, gazing out the windows, realized they had landed in Phoenix. Once again, the jetliner taxied to a remote spot at the airfield and, once again, the plane was surrounded by shotgun-toting prison guards. With the temperature well over 100 degrees, it was fortunate that the unloading and reloading process was quicker this time. About half an hour after it had landed, the 727 took off again, continuing its eastward trek. Two of the new passengers were Tina Barton, 23, and Tami Jones, 30, who had been serving federal sentences in Arizona and were being transferred to other penitentiaries for disciplinary reasons. I m doing a year for importation of a controlled substance, said Barton, from Lakewood. A controlled substance? someone asked. Marijuana, 117 pounds of it! she said with a giggle. It was in an R.V. Coming over from Mexicali (into the United States). I ve got seven months til I get out. Barton said she was transferred because she got into a fight. They re moving me for my safety, I think. I think I m going somewhere up in Washington. Jones, royal caribbean cruises line who said she is serving the third year of a six-year sentence for conspiracy royal caribbean cruises line to manufacture amphetamines royal caribbean cruises line in Texas, preferred not to discuss what led to her transfer. I m going to Washington, she said. I ve made a lot of these flights by now--maybe eight of them. About two hours later, the jetliner touched down on a runway in Oklahoma City and taxied up to the hangar that serves as the home base for Con Air. Unbuckle your seat belts, but remain seated, Rice said over the intercom. Shucks, said a wag at the back of the plane. I figured we could just get up and wander off any time we wanted to. Kolacz said that most of the women would spend the night at the Oklahoma County Jail and the men at the federal penitentiary at El Reno, before heading on to their final destinations the next day. As the prisoners stepped gingerly off the jetliner, two of the guards lent a helping hand. What we do is, we treat them like humans, said Johnson, the veteran lawman. They ve lost their freedom, (but) you can t kick a dog when he s down. CITYSCAPES / ERIC MALNIC
Idea for a Story on Prisoner Airline Really Took Off June 14, 1997 By ERIC MALNIC, Four years ago, some government officials told me about a federally run airline that was used to transport pr

Anne Graf of Hereford, Ariz., holds Rowdy, one of her Harris�s hawks. She chose to live along the San Pedro River because of the abundance of wildlife there. The river is on the migratory path of 350 bird species.
HEREFORD, Ariz. - Anne Graf retired to a secluded new home here in the southeast corner of Arizona, along the San Pedro River. Visitors feel like they are on the fringes of civilization, which fits in with the dictionary definition of retire: �to withdraw from action.�
But this Virginia native alaska airline miles is busier now than when she was working. She is president of an annual birding and nature festival called Southwest Wings, built around the fact that this high-desert river country is on the migratory path of 350 bird species.
When she is not typing up her notes as secretary of the Audubon Society chapter, or updating the festival�s brochure, she is working with a pair of Harris�s hawks, indigenous to the Southwest desert, that she and her husband take out hunting for rabbits.
People like Graf are a prize in the economic give-and-take occurring between states like Arizona and Florida, whose economies are built on the bedrock of what some call the �mailbox economy.� Florida, in particular, relies on the steady arrival alaska airline miles of newcomers with pension and Social Security checks, savings accounts, inherited wealth and even Medicare benefits that fuel its economy.
But others, whom experts see as an important market segment, seek out niches. In that regard, Arizona, with a third of the population of Florida, seems to be making incremental gains on the more established Sunshine State.
�Arizona seems fresher,� says Tom Brady, who fields hundreds of e-mails each month from potential retirees as founder of TopRetirements.com. �If you look at Florida, to some extent it has the same problem the Northeast has � an aging infrastructure that is hard to support.�
While weather plays a role in why people pick a new home, it is more accurate to think of boomers as amenity migrants than climate migrants, says Gene Warren, a Phoenix-based consultant who advises developers and state governments on how to make themselves over to mesh well with the boomers� perceptions of themselves.
The boomers � 76 million Americans born from 1946 to 1964 � �don�t care as much about climate, geography,� Warren says. �They are moving for amenities, which opens up the world to all these smaller communities. Every smaller community is a great place for some reason, and it has these amenities to offer.�
alaska airline miles He notes that both Arizona and Florida are the grandma-grandpa states in the retirement field, and that they could both use a makeover to compete with some of the new states grabbing boomers� attention.
�They are what our parents and grandparents were looking for. They are nice warm places where people can sit around,� Warren says. �The boomers are looking for something different. They are looking for activities, alaska airline miles for lifestyle.�
Instead of bird watching, they want the ability to play golf or softball in the middle of winter, and then to feel comfortable in locking the door through the hot Arizona summer, confident that everything will be in place when they return the following fall.
After checking out a number of places � Palm Desert, Calif., Florida, Hawaii � they ended up making a snowbird move in 2002 that would have been popular decades ago: They bought a manufactured home at Viewpoint. The couple play a lot of golf, attend potluck dinners with new friends and head back to Minnetonka in the spring to gear up for another busy summer of tree-cutting alaska airline miles and plant care.
It is a style of retirement not that much different from the old-timers who live at Sun City, the 50-year-old community of 40,000 on the west side of Phoenix, credited as the first large-scale retirement community.
Just as at Viewpoint, there is a golf cart in virtually every other carport in Sun City. It has eight golf courses, umpteen shuffleboard and tennis courts, two bowling alleys and 130 chartered clubs for those with interests alaska airline miles ranging from canasta to politics.
In one of the more exhaustive studies on baby boomers alaska airline miles and what they want out of life, Age Wave � a think tank and consulting business founded by authors Ken and Maddy Dychtwald � last year said that 52 percent of those surveyed wanted retirement to be �an opportunity for a new exciting chapter in life.�
�I sat in my Midtown apartment, the day after my return, alaska airline miles looking at the snow fall, and I had this epiphany,� Coury says. �I keep working this hard to escape for quiet and nature and horses. Why don�t I just escape?�
alaska airline miles A year later, Coury bought a place of her own in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, deliberately close to the Arabian Show Horse stables operated by her new mentor, owner-trainer Bill Flood of Queen Creek.
They would be right about the region where the vast majority of the state�s 6.5 million people live, the central valley alaska airline miles in which sits the Phoenix metropolitan area. Phoenix is in the low desert, and it does get ridiculously hot in the daytime each summer, although it cools off quickly at night with no humidity.
They ended up there after a considerable alaska airline miles amount of globe-trotting. In past lives, she was an airline worker, and he was an air traffic controller at Los Angeles� frenetically busy international airport. They met later, in Hawaii, where she helped run a resort and he ran a scuba-diving operation.
A native of Glen Ellyn, Ill., she missed having four seasons, and wanted to stay in touch with friends and family both in Chicago and on the west coast. In Prescott, she feels more connected. �Whenever I want to, I go to Phoenix. I drove to Santa Monica last week to see a girlfriend. alaska airline miles Seven hours,� she said.

Remember the joke which asks if a tree falling in the forest makes a sound if there s no one there t

A headline detailing the decline of general aviation (GA) activity would not come as a shock anyone who works (or plays) around GA or reads one of the industry publications. The news has been bad for years, and it s left many of us simply holding on, waiting for things to rebound hotels near denver airport or stabilize. Alas, the latest statistics are revealing an even deeper depression in activity around Southern California than anyone hotels near denver airport could have dreamed.
The airport statistics show that, as of June 2012, there were 106,452 hotels near denver airport GA operations, which was down from 140,820 operations during the same time period in 2011 and down from 185,563 during hotels near denver airport the same time in 2007. Other statistics show that, from 2000, when operations were at their peak, to 2011, general aviation and air taxi traffic declined by about 34 percent.
Some FBO operators at Long Beach Airport said declining general aviation traffic is not the only factor impacting the aviation business market. According to John Tary, general manager hotels near denver airport of Toyota hotels near denver airport AirFlite, recent struggles include rising general aviation fuel prices, vacancies and increased competition in a slow market.
hotels near denver airport He said today there are four main FBOs at the airport that sell gas, in addition to a few others, as opposed to only two in years past, ultimately creating an environment where there's "less fuel to go around." Also, while the cost to sell aviation fuel has increased, FBOs are still making the same profit margins from customers, Tary said.
"As a percentage we're making hotels near denver airport less money and there's a lot of factors that go into the ability to be profitable," he said. Tary added that decades ago there were upwards of 1,200 private aircraft based at the airport and now there are less than 400. In addition, he said there also used to be five-year hotels near denver airport waiting lists to get a hangar and now he has five vacancies.
As a commenter hotels near denver airport on that article noted, with the numbers that bad, why would there be a need for Class C airspace at LGB ? The one good thing we might expect out of a slowly declining airport might be less controlled airspace, but it s doubtful the FAA will see it that way.
At Ontario, once the bright shining hope for a new international airport in Southern California, the news is not much better. Though it s mainly an airline and cargo destination these days, passenger counts are continuing their long-term slide .
Traffic at Ontario International Airport dropped again in June by 4.36 percent. A total of 373,652 travelers flew into or out of Ontario airport last month, according to the latest statistics from Los Angeles World Airports, which owns and operates Ontario, Van Nuys and Los Angeles International airports.
Speaking of Van Nuys Airport, the venerable GA airport might be the ultimate example of what s happening around the Los Angeles basin. At one time, it was the busiest general aviation airport on Earth. In 1999, the airport had about 607,000 takeoffs and landings. By 2010 it had declined to 339,000 the lowest traffic count since 1963 .
Orange hotels near denver airport County s John Wayne Airport hotels near denver airport recently hotels near denver airport posted the numbers for June, 2012. Compared with the same period last year, GA activity declined 7.1% . The current avgas price at SNA is now $7.52 a gallon. Could that have something to do with it?
Meanwhile, in the past two years, Superior Air Parts , Cirrus Aircraft , Glasair Aircraft , Hawker Beechcraft , and other U.S. aviation hotels near denver airport assets have been sold to China. The Chinese are building general aviation airports as fast as they can. We, on the other hand, shut down an average hotels near denver airport of one airport a week in the United States.
If there s a bright side to the current economic picture, it s the Experimental-Amateur-Built (also referred to as homebuilt aircraft ) category. These are aircraft which ordinary people build in their garages. If that sounds crazy, let me state for the record that the finest quality and craftsmanship I ve seen in the aviation world comes from this segment of the aviation world.
hotels near denver airport The experimental aircraft industry is growing by leaps and bounds. Total piston aircraft shipments hotels near denver airport by professional airplane manufacturing companies hotels near denver airport was 860 units in 2011. That s for the entire industry, mind you. By contrast, Van s Aircraft estimates that about 420 of their experimental aircraft kits were completed the same year. That s just one company, albeit the largest one in the industry.
Why is Van s doing so well? As Deep Throat famously said, follow the money . Whether it s airports, airplanes, or aviators, the level of activity will directly follow the money. The more it costs, the less activity you ll find in that area. That s why pilot training and airport usage is down. It costs too much. On the other hand, experimental aircraft give twice the performance of a comparable factory-built airplane hotels near denver airport at about 1/4 the cost. The result? hotels near denver airport More economic activity.
The FAA predicts piston aircraft will drop from the 2010 total of 159,007 to 151,685 through 2023, with declines hotels near denver airport in both single and multi-engine fixed wing aircraft. The number of active piston aircraft is expected to increase beyond 2023, but only growing to 155,395 by 2032.
Sadly, the NTSB and FAA are zeroing in on the Experimental world in an attempt to make it safer. As I noted previously , GA safety must originate in the cockpit, not the Federal Register. If history is any guide, their efforts will result hotels near denver airport in a massive increase hotels near denver airport in cost which will do to the E-AB sector exactly what it did to the rest of general aviation.
Remember the joke which asks if a tree falling in the forest makes a sound if there s no one there to hear it? I can only hope we won t find the answer to that question at your local airport. It s getting awfully quiet out there, my friends.
Highway vs. Aviation Safety The NHTSA reports that the highways are safer than ever, so it seems like an opportune time to see how the relative fatal accident hotels near denver airport rate between cars and general aviation...
It s in decline because of heavy regulation and high cost. That s why the experimental sector is growing by leaps and bounds while certificated aircraft sales have been declining for years. Experimental = more freedom and far better performance for less money. A fully aerobatic RV-6 can be had for $45k, and it will do 170 knots on 10 gph with a cheap, fixed pitch prop. A certificated equivalent would cost $200,000.
Ron, you are spot on about America s unwillingness to take on risk; sadly, we ve collectively turned into a society that expects, hotels near denver airport nee demands, hotels near denver airport that the government protect us from cradle to grave from any and all hazards. No cost, in both dollars and lost freedoms, is too high. In my opinion we are the antithesis of what originally built our nation.
hotels near denver airport Unfortunately, I can t offer up any practical solutions. It is the nature of government to grow without bounds and the FAA, as you point out, is only going to increase the regulatory burden in all areas including AB.
I learned to fly at SNA back in the 70s when it was the second busiest airport in the country (behind O Hare) in C150 at $10.50/hr wet! It was a struggle then, as a student, and a bigger struggle now I m not sure how much longer I m going to be in the game.
Mike take another look at the chart, 2011 wasn t as bad as it appears. There s a note for 2011 s numbers which indicates that this was the year the FAA removed several hundred inactive, dismantled or destroyed aircraft from the registry. That s why 2011 looks so bad on paper.
I do agree with you that things are bad out there. Real bad. I wasn t at SNA in the 70 s, but I was there in the mid-late 90s when you could rent a Skyhawk for $60/hr wet. Fuel was only $2 a gallon. Today that same gallon of avgas will cost you closer to $8. SNA has become by far the most expensive place in the basin to purchase fuel.
On the other hand, an O-320 powered RV will do nearly 200 mph while using only 7 gph or so. Even with the astronomical fuel prices, that s only $56 to move yourself halfway up the state of California. hotels near denver airport Pull the power back and you could run in the 5 gallon/hr range just for goofing off.
Ron Rapp is a Southern California-based professional pilot and instructor specializing in tailwheel, aerobatic, experimental, formation, and glass-panel hotels near denver airport flying. He's also an aircraft owner, aerobatic competitor, and a National-level judge. Away from the airport, you'll find Ron at the theatre, opera, symphony, or perhaps diving in the Sea of Cortez. Other avocations include boxing, hiking, and indulging in fine food and spirits with friends and family. He and his wife live in beautiful Orange County, California with two evil -- yet diabolically brilliant -- Siamese hotels near denver airport cats.

California is undoubtedly one of the most heavily toured destinations in the entire United States of America. Millions of dreams and aspirations are linked to a life in California and people from all over the world flock to this sunny coast in hopes of fame and fortune. Because of its vast size and popularity, California has an immense and complex transportation system both in the air and on the ground.
No matter which direction you look in California, you will find an airport. There are dozens of airports, thompson lake maine vacation rentals strategically planted, throughout this enormous state. Between the heavy influx of tourists and the demanding business world, people from California are used to traveling thompson lake maine vacation rentals throughout the state, from coast to coast, or internationally, all the time.

Travelers stand in line at Los Angeles International airport in Los Angeles Monday, April 22, 2013. It was a tough start to the week for many air travelers.

New York • Flight delays piled up across the country Monday as thousands of air traffic controllers began taking unpaid days off because of federal budget cuts, providing the most visible impact yet of Congress and the White House's failure to agree on a long-term deficit-reduction plan.
The Federal Aviation Administration kept planes on the ground because there weren't enough controllers to monitor busy air corridors. Cascading delays held up flights at some of nation's busiest airports, including New York, Baltimore and Washington. Many operations were more than two hours behind fox rental car lax schedule.
Nearly a third of flights at New York's LaGuardia airport scheduled to take off before 3 p.m. were delayed 15 minutes or more, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. Last Monday, just 6 percent fox rental car lax of LaGuardia's flights were delayed.
At airports, Monday is typically one of the busiest days, when many high-paying business travelers depart for a week on the road. The FAA's controller cuts — a 10 percent reduction of its staff — went into effect Sunday. fox rental car lax The full force was not felt until Monday morning.
One thing working in fliers' favor Monday was relatively good weather at most major airports. A few wind gusts in New York, snow in Denver and thunderstorms in Miami added to some delays, but generally there were clear skies and no major storms.
However, the furloughs will continue for months, raising the risk of a turbulent summer travel season. And the lack of controllers could exacerbate weather problems, especially spring and summer thunderstorms.
FAA officials have said they have no choice but to furlough all 47,000 agency employees — including nearly 15,000 controllers — because the agency's budget is dominated by salaries. Each employee will lose one day of work every other week. The FAA has said that planes will have to take off and land less frequently, so as not to overload the remaining controllers on duty.
"There's a lot finger-pointing going on, but the simple truth is that it is Congress's job to fix this," said Rep. Rick Larsen, a Washington Democrat and member of the House aviation panel. "Flight delays are just the latest fox rental car lax example of how the sequester is damaging the economy and hurting families across the country."
"If these disruptions unfold as predicted, business travelers will stay home, severely impacting not only the travel industry but the economy overall," the Global Business Travel Association warned the head of the FAA in a letter Friday.
Deborah Seymour was one of the first fliers to face the headaches. She was supposed fox rental car lax to fly Sunday night from Los Angles to Tucson, Ariz. First her 9:55 p.m. flight was delayed for four hours. Then at 2 a.m., Southwest Airlines canceled it.

Should Travel Reviewers Be Anonymous? 7 Travel Options For Those Obsessed With The Royal Baby This Is What Manhattan Would Look Like Inside The Grand Canyon Hotel Fulfills Guest's Ridiculous Request Involving Bacon
At least that's what my husband and I found when we took a 24-foot-long campervan through the South and North islands of New Zealand last fall. Not only did we have more freedom to go where we wanted without waiting for buses or trains, we saved money on eating out - and had fun meeting other travelers at our campsite each night.
Rent the biggest vehicle you can find. You might see this trip as a time to indulge your Big Rig fantasies. But you're much better rental car in boston off renting rental car in boston a smaller campervan that handles well, particularly if you're going anywhere that involves twisty roads or mountain overpasses. rental car in boston Smaller RVs are also better on stretches of open highway, where strong winds can push your vehicle around the road.
Ignore vehicle briefings. Our campervan came with a DVD that cut off halfway through the instructions. "We'll figure it out," said my husband, who was eager to hit the road. Ha. Those 15 minutes we saved by leaving the parking lot early were nothing compared to the hour it took us to figure out how to dump out the sewage. Never again. Pack too much stuff. Most campervans rental car in boston have elaborate storage systems, with cubby drawers, hidden compartments and spaces under seats to place your things. Which you'll need, because if you don't put your hiking shoes away, they will become rental car in boston projectile missiles during the next curve in the road.
We passed several RVs that looked stuffed to the brim, with stressed-out rental car in boston people in the driver's seat. Only bring the basics; rental car in boston most RVs come with all of the dishes, silverware, bedding and towels that you'll need.
Fail to check your surroundings. rental car in boston The scene unfolded like one from a Chevy Chase movie: Our mouths screamed "Nooooo" as a neighbor pulled out of his campsite with his RV electrical rental car in boston cord still hooked up to the outlets. The resulting noises were not pleasant. If you're absent-minded, write your debarkation routine on a slip of paper that you review each morning.
Annoy your neighbors. RVers are an early bunch, rental car in boston with many hitting the road before dawn. You'll be the star of the holiday park if you invoke MI6 agent stealth and leave noiselessly, without rattling all of the recycling bins (you know who you are).
Once you've selected your campsite for the night, it's also considered poor etiquette to walk too close to your neighbor's vehicle. Saying hello at the communal BBQ pit is fine, lurking outside someone else's windows isn't. And when that van is rocking, definitely don't go knocking.
Plan a packed itinerary. Sure, you could take 72 hours to criss-cross Arizona. But where's the fun in that? Plan two-day or three-day stops at RV parks so you have time to leave the vehicle rental car in boston and see the sights. Otherwise, you might as well fly.
One very important thing to remember and to understand is: the cruise control rental car in boston feature is NOT AUTO PILOT. Do NOT set the cruise control rental car in boston and then go back to the kitchen area to cook or make a sandwich. Reply Great Feb 14th 2012 2:34PM
I looked into renting rental car in boston an rv for a cross country vaction trip but after looking at the rental cost the milegae fees and the fuel along with fees to park it was almost 6 times the cost of airfare, hotel stay and entertainment. Seems like the way to go but be prepared to pay much much more then a traditional vaction. bb1972b Feb 14th 2012 8:38AM
One thing not on the not to do list is a very important one: Remember the cruise control is NOT AUTO PILOT. Do NOT set the cruise control feature and then go to the back and make a sandwich. Reply 56meteorman Feb 14th 2012 8:41AM
We love camping with a simple small pop up. IF we rent a motorized RV, it will be a smaller one - with a small car in tow so we can level the camper at the site once and then explore away from the campsite. Buying rental car in boston a small car like a Chevy Metro for a few bucks makes sense as you can sell it easily if advertised in any of the campling newspapers on arrival home. Also, use public bathrooms as often as possible to lighten the cleanout load. Don't forget the rechargeable flashlights either. Reply Tom Feb 16th 2012 11:06AM
Take a driving course, Driving an RV is different than driving a car or truck. In most cases the Chassis rental car in boston move seperately from the cockpit. If the driver responds to the movement they will be chasing the RV all over the place. Ignore sense of feel and focus on actual position in the driving lane. Don't even get me started on Backing up.
Second, learn the unwritten rules of Campground Courtesy. Your article touched on this, but there are so many more, Not cutting accross camp sites, rental car in boston noise, pets. Renters are always easy to spot, even if they don't have a big sign on thier RV. Reply RAGENME Feb 14th 2012 9:10AM
We camped as kids in tent's and layed on the ground. rental car in boston This past year we purchased a pop up. The best advise we can give is make a list of what you need and check it twice before you leave. If not we hope there is a Wal mart along the way. Rving is a great way to meet new friend's or reconnect with you family. It's the cheapest vacation we have ever had and the most fun. Happy rving! Reply TC Watkins Feb 14th 2012 9:14AM
That depends on where you are traveling. In Alaska for example it is way cheaper to rent an RV. First of all they CATER to RVs up there. Second of all it might be 200 miles between one stop to the next. Who wants to HAVE to be at a certain location at a certain day and time. Not to mention the price of hotels up there. In an RV you are free to explore. We have done it twice. The first time a rental the second time our own RV. NeverJUSTamom Feb 14th 2012 10:50AM
You're so right! We rented an RV to drive around and see 5 west coast states with our 3 kids in 2004 (we live on the east coast and flew out there to rent the RV). It was a great experience rental car in boston and lots of fun, but the 3 week trip cost us $9,000.00!! I'm sure we could have done just as well (if not better) renting a fuel efficient car and staying in budget motels. rental car in boston Arzish May 2nd 2012 10:01AM
i would say it depends on how you're travelling. in my case travelling with your family with kids, Rving is the best of all choices, you will save on food so much and will be able to adjust to everybody's timings and on top of everything its got freedom of taking your home right up to the point of travel instead of leaving your hotel room after stuffing your belly with extra breakfast. Thats the worst part eat before you leave your hotel and that too before 10:30. We love the late night campfire,BBQs,fishing, trekking, and coming back for breakfast or brunch. rental car in boston In hotels you are just paying all the time even for a can of coke you pay 4 times, tea coffee, everything you pay for, thats off my cards now. have travelled around the world, staying at 6-5-3 star hotels and feel sorry for the countries that do not offer rving/motorhoming as an option..

My family owned from slide in truck bed style campers to a 'Mini-Winnebago' with bunk beds up to 1981 (and several others after that). rental car in boston Due to a job offer 'falling through' for my Dad, we (5 people. Dad, Mom, sister, brother and I.) spent a whole year living in that 'bunker' camper in Pensacola, Fl during rental car in boston my Jr. and my brother's Sr. years in high school. It was an adventure rental car in boston and taught us a lot about RV's. We had limited space and could only bring with us what would fit in the camper and car (at night) due to selling our house and putting everything rental car in boston in storage in anticipation of moving back to Central Florida. We moved into a house on the west side of Pensacola after my brother had graduated due to lack of funds. What an adventure! Reply reality check Feb 14th 2012 10:41PM
Also, keep in mind that your handy-dandy GPS unit (or mapquest) doesn't know you are driving an oversized vehicle that doubles as a house! KNOW the height of your vehicle and don't 'push the limits'. Remember, rental car in boston also, that for security and safety reasons, you cannot drive a vehicle with propane tanks through some large tunnels, like the Lincoln Tunnel in NY, no matter WHAT your GPS says! Other tunnels have checkpoints where officials do check to make sure you've disconnected the propane connectors from the tanks. Be prepared. I'm a believer in pop-up camping. It's amazing that so much living space can fit in such a small box for traveling! Reply Steven Feb 14th 2012 9:50AM
Isn't it a shame that we have to tell drivers that cruise control is different from auto-pilot? What's even worse is that you can make millions by making this mistake on I-95! It's no wonder that it's safer to fly. Reply Goose Feb 14th 2012 2:02PM
With the price of gas these days; it would cost more to drive the camper. Take your car and a laptop and use priceline and stay at a cheap motel instead. Only reason to take a camper is if its a toy hauler too and you're taking your bike to Sturgis for bike week. Reply NZ RVer Feb 14th 2012 3:26PM
Like others said before, it depends on where you are traveling. In New Zealand, gas is way cheaper than in the US, and out in the back-country roads, rental car in boston there are not many motels and hotel choices, and they are not cheap or inclusive of breakfast like in the states. The average 2-egg breakfast in New Zealand will run you $20.
However, the country is very well set up for campervans with park sites along every scenic route - maybe only 4 hours drive apart, and that is a very common way to travel there. guy nelli Feb 14th 2012 9:58AM

In recent negotiations with Major League Baseball, Fox Sports obtained cable television rights to ov

The first and most basic reason for this is distribution. Fox Sports 1 would replace Speed Channel, which was in 80.8 million television homes at the start of October trailing ESPN (98.2M) and ESPN2 (98.1M), but ahead of NBCSN (78.1M).
In recent chaep flight airline tickets negotiations with Major League Baseball, Fox Sports obtained cable television rights to over 40 Saturday afternoon regular season games and half of the Division Series. FS1 would presumably air those telecasts.
Major League Baseball is a significantly more valuable television property than the National Hockey chaep flight airline tickets League, the highest-profile sport on NBCSN (other than the Olympics, which airs for only two weeks every two years). CBSSN, meanwhile, airs nothing of value but lower-tier college football and early round U.S. Open tennis coverage.
FS1 is also likely to continue airing NASCAR s annual chaep flight airline tickets All-Star Race and Camping World Truck Series, as well as Sprint Cup practice and qualifying rounds. Those events have aired on Speed Channel in past years, and Fox Sports retained those rights in recent negotiations with NASCAR.
chaep flight airline tickets Fox Sports could also pick up additional NASCAR rights chaep flight airline tickets if Turner Sports and ESPN do not renew during chaep flight airline tickets their exclusive negotiating windows next year. Undoubtedly, such a move would result in Sprint Cup races airing on FS1 as well though that is an admittedly unlikely hypothetical.
Where FS1 would likely fail is in providing studio programming. Outside of FOX NFL Sunday, the studio has generally been a weakness for Fox Sports, which currently outsources MLB pregame coverage to MLB Network and whose much-hyped college football pregame has been panned. When Fox Sports Net was being positioned as a rival for ESPN, a nightly show hosted by Keith Olbermann failed, as did the much-derided Best Damn Sports Show Period.
Still, it is not as if NBCSN or CBSSN have much in the way of formidable studio coverage either. NBC s NBC Sports Talk has been a non-factor thus far, and CBS highest-profile studio programming consists of talk shows hosted by former ESPNers Jim Rome and Doug Gottlieb chaep flight airline tickets .
Without even being officially announced, FS1 already has a stronger line-up than NBCSN or CBSSN. While that line-up is nowhere close to that of ESPN, one can be both the closest contender and a very distant second.

You may have never thought you could get this political insight from a sports commentator, but former NBA Detroit Pistons star-turned-host of The Best Damn Sports Show Period hotels in downtown memphis on Fox Sports Network John Salley hotels in downtown memphis has defied expectations.
The charge that President Barack Obama has been acting like a fascist has been of a huge concern to the liberal movement presently. The term had been thrown around in conservative circles however, it was only but a few months hotels in downtown memphis ago that people were still referring to George W. Bush as Bushitler. That type of demagoguing didn't seem to bother those same critics at the time.
I think Jimmy Carter was great about what he said, Salley pontificated. I think he saw it from his point of view knowing where it came from, the roots of it, calling certain people racist. But I also feel it's a lack of respect for position, I think the position of being president has been weakened since George W. Bush, well since Clinton.
Carolla's podcasts generally touch on subjects such as race, ethnicity and sexual behavior and they are often very crude. However this was almost entirely unprompted from the former NBA star. You can listen to the entire podcast here.

This is one of my favorite podcasts yet. You probably knew John Salley was a basketball star, a co-host on The Car Show , a vegan, and Best Damn Sports Show . He s also one of the smartest, nicest people we have ever met, with his hand in every game from wellness advice to selling (great) wine.
Obviously we met John at The Car Show. Matt taught him about cars (he bought airline mile credit card a Q7 TDI because of Matt), John taught Matt about love life. With a man this versatile in a room with us, it s no surprise we cover a variety of topics. John tells us about his life as a kid who wanted to be on TV, but happened to be 7 1 (slightly suited for basketball).
We talk about Matt s journey to Canado for the CRX, and why he didn t come back with it. Also, John s Urea issues, why athletes go broke, the Fisker Karma (and its issues), D3 Tuning and the shiny, new speeding ticket Thad got in a 1966 Cobra replica. It s a good one.

Our assignment was a tough one, so I will admit working with a new crew made us nervous, initially. However, Kineto accomplished everything we asked them to do, and they did it within the time and budget constraints that we gave them. Also, their good attitudes made the experience even better. Whatever challenge arose, they were ready to tackle. orlando hotel There isn't any hesitation we will be working with Kineto in the future.
Towers Productions orlando hotel hired Kineto Pictures in November of 2008 for a four day Discovery Channel shoot in Salt Lake City.  We worked with an excellent and very helpful audio engineer, and also a talented second camera operator for additional orlando hotel filming.  Our show,  American Wasteland is a three part series based on drug abuse in the United States. The shoot entailed both run and gun police performing crack cocaine busts as well as following the personal story of former user.
The Kineto Pictures crew responded with great, creative material accomplishing everything we asked for and more. They aggressively tackled the project, taking initiative and offering orlando hotel suggestions that improved the quality of our project.  We recommend their production services with great confidence.
Working with Kineto Pictures was a very positive experience. They worked in a very professional manner and they were able to address our demanding show needs and budget concerns with great skill.  I would gladly recommend Kineto for any situation.  I look forward to working with them again.
Sony came to Utah to shoot a segment for the The Best Damn Sports Show Period, promoting the Blu-ray release of our new film Steep. We needed orlando hotel a production crew that could pull of the demands of an HD ski shoot in the Mountains of Utah. Kineto Pictures was selected and was exceptional to work with. The segment orlando hotel turned out great. We would be happy to work with Kineto again.
Kineto has the unique ability to craft individual and distinctive productions orlando hotel that can take an unknown entity to the forefront.  Mountain West Ballet was struggling to gain public recognition and compete for large grants or corporate sponsorship.   Kineto was able to capture who we are, what we do, and why we are an essential part of our community in a beautiful and informative 15min presentation.  The finished product exceeded our expectations by not only telling who we are, but helping us change the way we view our organization and the possibilities we can achieve.
Kineto Pictures and their team of talented professionals helped EMG realize orlando hotel and complete a dynamic and remarkable multi-media asset that has paid dividends to our organization.  Their creativity, organization, professionalism, focus, and on-time delivery of our project, assured that we were both within our budget, while delivering the highest quality product that we were looking for.  I highly recommend Travis, Damian, and Kineto s talented team to anyone, and will continue to use their services in the future.
Having worked with Kineto Pictures for over a dozen years now, I can honestly say that they are the most talented Video and Film Production group I have come across. Their creative orlando hotel is far better than anyone out there, and their execution is second to none. I would recommend Kineto to anyone looking to raise the bar on their video and film production experience. We look forward orlando hotel to another exciting year with Kineto ourselves.
To help celebrate Stein Eriksen Lodge's 25th anniversary, the lodge sent out an RFP to several companies for the production of a video that would help commemorate this occasion.    From the beginning,  Kineto Pictures  stood out.   They truly understood what we wanted to accomplish and painted a clear picture of the final product.  We are so pleased with the results orlando hotel and would recommend them highly for their vision, their flexibility and for completing the project on time and on budget".
The Kineto team is simply the best. They are creative, cost conscious, orlando hotel flexible, professional, and go above and beyond regularly. They produced our opening orlando hotel videos as well as some interstitials and happy face montages for our sales kick-off programs. Each time they were very good about understanding our corporate culture/theme, the intended outcome of each video piece and our overall working styles. orlando hotel They assimilated nicely into our team and added value each step of the way. Travis and Damian both stepped in when issues or roadblocks appeared and always found creative workarounds orlando hotel to problems that were out of their control. I highly recommend them and would love to work with them again.
Working with Kineto Pictures for our corporate orlando hotel video was a great experience. The day of the shoot went very smoothly and the team did a great job thinking through the final piece during the shoot to make sure everything would look right in the end. The editing was clean and coherent and they even added some free graphics orlando hotel that really made the video pop. I enjoyed the experience and would recommend Kineto to others.

"He's already made a commitment – and I've always taught him when you do that, you stick to it," said his father, Reggie Theus, after attending a gathering on the Northridge campus Friday to officially announce his arrival as the Matadors new caretaker of the program. "There was never a guarantee I'd have this job when he made the decision. We had to do what was best for him. We can't say what school it is yet, but it'll be a great opportunity."
Opportunity has presented Theus with another head coaching job, following an outstanding NBA career, a diversion into acting (see: coach Bill Fuller in "Hang Time") and various broadcasting roles (an original TNT studio host, and on Fox's "Best Damn Sports Show Period.")
As a communicator, Theus can draw from the 16 different head coaches he played the markets of uk tour operators under in 13 NBA seasons. That's not including listening to Jerry Tarkanian at UNLV in the late '70s, to working as assistant under Rick Pitino at Louisville nearly 10 years ago. Both of whom were named to the Basketball Hall of Fame last week.
The former Inglewood High legend, whose oldest daughter Raquel ("Roqui") played basketball at UC Irvine the markets of uk tour operators and appears on the BET reality series "Baldwin Hills," and whose youngest daughter Rhyan plays volleyball at Redondo High, gave us a better understanding the markets of uk tour operators of how his family (with wife Elaine) will benefit from digging deeper roots in L.A. as he starts on the recruiting trail for CSUN officially starting Monday:
Answer: (Laughing) They (Florida Gulf Coast, which made it to the Sweet 16 earlier this month) did have an amazing run. And that really does help us. We've always told kids, back to when I was coaching at New Mexico State – you don't have to be at a school that gets all the attention in a 'power conference' to achieve your goals. I've told some friends and people who are at other colleges: We will be in the NCAA tournament before you will. That's how I feel here. Every time that happens, it helps not just the Big West but other conferences of our size.
A: I'm ecstatic. I missed the first two years of his playing in high school (as an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves the markets of uk tour operators under head coach Kurt Rambis) but I've been here the last two years (doing TV work and as the head coach of the Lakers' D-League Defenders). To watch him grow the last two years shows me that he missed me. That to me was a great lesson the markets of uk tour operators going forward. Even though we have a great relationship, I saw growth in him being at home and dealing with me every day. I saw a lot in his maturity and attitude, not just his game. Where he's going is a tough, hard-nosed coach to deal with.
A: I've seen a lot do it right, and do it wrong. Jerry Sloan (who he played for as a rookie with the Chicago Bulls) talked about things that I remembered when he thought I wasn't listening. Bill Russell the markets of uk tour operators (his coach for a year with the Sacramento Kings) was a great story teller. Willis Reed was very much a Rocky Balboa guy, limping into the game in the Garden the markets of uk tour operators was really who he is. Cotton Fitzsimmons (in Phoenix) traded for me and showed me how to take the weight of the world off my back. His personality was large. He showed you can have fun with your players and have a personality and still get taken seriously and get your work done.
And then there's the guy with the best one-liners of anyone around was Jerry Reynolds – not a great head coach by any means, but had great wisdom and showed me what responsibility was all about on the floor.
Now, Jerry Tarkanian, playing for him I played as hard for him as a possibly could. He showed me I was a player that I wanted to be. If he told me to run through a wall, I'd ask, 'What wall coach?' Enormous motivator, very unconventional, showed me you don't always have to follow the markets of uk tour operators protocol to get things done. There's a 1,000 ways to do it. A true Rebel.
Coach Pitino, I came to him after years of being around basketball with a paper bag of basketball knowledge, and he showed me a blue print, how to get from A to B to Z, gave me a plan to run a team. If he was tired some days, it's because I was soaking up his energy. The way he dealt with his staff, a big-time program by a Hall of Fame coach. On the floor what was important with individual instruction, work ethic. Working two years with him was like seven with someone else. If you were working out in the workout room and he walked in, you pushed yourself more because you didn't want him to see you working at a mid-level. His knowledge and focus and determination, the way he gets after his players, he's one of the most sincere guys you'd want to be around. He always told me: "You have to rule your program the markets of uk tour operators with an iron fist, but always know when to hug your players, too." They have to believe you as a leader. He's a big reader of war stories and leadership.
A: I believe in doing things the right way. Integrity is extremely important in how you want your players to take out of a program and into their next lives. Tark had a personality that allowed him to go to an event at the White House, the markets of uk tour operators and then go to the darkest, deepest ghettos in the America, and act the same way. I believe I have the same abilities to walk both sides of that fence. My basketball career, in everyplace I've been, gives me the ability to prove myself in every part of the country. We're not just about being a California school. I'm getting calls from all over the country about players now. We'll do things the right way, and we're going to out-work people. That's our motto, the markets of uk tour operators on the floor and off it.
A: The biggest is a need to upgrade the facilities, and they're going to change a lot of things here. You won't recognize the place at the start of the season. The goal is to build something that will stand for an awful long  time. When it's all said and done, if the kids are just about the peripheral things, that's not enough. I want kids willing to put the work in, not hung up on aesthetics.  It's about trying to make something out of yourself, get to the NCAA Tournament, and 99 percent of them want to either go to the NBA or make money playing this game. I have an offer if that's their goal, I've been every place they ever want to go. To learn the game from someone who's been in those places – let's go.
A: Wow. You're really the markets of uk tour operators going to go there? Seriously? You'd be surprised. This will crack you up. It helps me recruit. There's a large number of people who've actually watched that show, and when I walk into a gym, some only know me as Coach Fuller than being an NBA player. As funny as that is. You know, that part of my life added to the stories and successes in what you have to do outside basketball. the markets of uk tour operators Every generation you can connect with helps. I span I think three generations. Most of the parents of the kids I recruit are my age (55). Even if the kids don't know my career, the markets of uk tour operators the parents do. There are very few coaches who can walk into a gym and so many different age groups know them, for whatever reason.
A: The great part about "Hang Time" is we could manipulate the script. I remember there was one game when we lost, and I was really upset about how that ended up – so we ended up winning. They rewrote it (laughing). We can work out any problem that way on TV. But again, it's life lessons – that entertainment business is like this sports business. the markets of uk tour operators The set is the floor. The dressing room is the locker room. The producers the markets of uk tour operators are upper management. It has all the same mechanisms maybe because it's ultimately entertainment the markets of uk tour operators on both ends. Although the gym we had back then was only about half the size of a regular court. I designed every play, too, which is something I also got to do in (the movie) "Like Mike," teaching the markets of uk tour operators Lil' Bow Wow how to play in a lot of ways and make him look good (in a cast that included Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Alonzo Mourning, Tracy McGrady and Allen Iverson – with Theus as a broadcaster). A lot of that was changing camera angles.
A: Hey, that was the toughest job I ever had. Some of the kids in this conference the markets of uk tour operators will end up in the D-League – it's full of "Mr. Basketball" winners,  guys who thought they had it figured out and still do, but they didn't get it then and still don't get it. Those stories are real. It's another great lesson about the pitfalls of the game, and it's a lot of great opportunities for people to get called up. It's about what you're willing to do to be successful. There are all kinds of difficult mechanisms in that league that make it a tough job. That whole season is coaching the fly, changing things daily, being flexible.
A: I never thought of it that way. I was happy to be there, be in L.A. with my son playing the markets of uk tour operators his senior year. The office is 10 minutes from my house. That was a great 'get' for me, but I know the Lakers knew about my desires to be a head coach. I made no bones about wanting to get back into college.
A: At 6-foot-7, the markets of uk tour operators it's always tough to buy clothes off the rack, so I've got a guy named "Hanging With Mr. Cooper" (in Newport Beach). And if people think my suits costs thousands of dollars, they don't. I wouldn't spend that kind of money. As the styles change, maybe the look is more trimmed down now, but all I've done is take my suits in and get them adjusted. I am not going to buy a bunch of new suits. It's not that kind of party. It's not going happen. You spend a couple hundred and just get the suits cut down. It works. I don't think this is a job where you have to wear a suit and tie to games, but I probably will. Back in the day, Pat Riley was the guy who knew how to dress. In my era, suits and ties are what we wore on the road. The casualness with how the players dress now . . . If you wore baggy clothes back then, you were sloppy. My era was always the markets of uk tour operators a jacket and tie and slacks. the markets of uk tour operators That was the dress code. And that would not fly with most players today.

MOST POPULAR Dr. James Andrews breaks down how historic sports careers could have been saved A weeke

If scoring and rebounding are the meat and potatoes boston city tours of an NBA player's stat line, a sense of humor is the dessert. It adds flavor to postgame interviews, boston city tours sparkle to halftime shows, punch to sneaker commercials. But which player has the best comedic stats of all?
This is typical of the questions we ask. The two us a university-sanctioned humor professor and his Sancho Panza like journalist sidekick are exploring what makes things funny . We ve been to Palestine boston city tours , Japan , and lots of places boston city tours in between, asking important questions such as Does alcohol make things funnier boston city tours ? and Can talking condoms stop unwanted pregnancies ?
When we asked Shaquille O Neal his choice for funniest ballplayer, it's no surprise that he chose himself or maybe Charles Barkley. To get a less-biased perspective, we turned boston city tours to a couple of outside experts: Neal Brennan , cocreator of Chappelle s Show , and Last Comic Standing winner Alonzo Bodden . We asked them, via e-mail, to determine boston city tours the NBA s funniest player. For the good of science.
Alonzo Bodden: Charles Barkley, for his openness while playing and his analysis in retirement. From his I Am Not a Role Model campaign to him saying a team sucks when we know it sucks but no one else will say it.
Bodden: Jalen is OK, I guess. One thing that throws me is his speech pattern. I'm sure Magic has some funny stories to tell, but he can't deliver them. I don't think of Jalen as funny based on his broadcasts.
Brennan: No. 1 is Blake. Barkley is just a blunt truth-spouter. boston city tours [Griffin's] sense of humor is more evolved. See his Casey Anthony tweet from 2010 . Or if you want, I can show you tweets that I pitched to him about Serge Ibaka punching him in the groin :
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were too serious. People will never love Michael the way they loved Magic Johnson, and Kobe will never play with the smile LeBron has. If LeBron had jokes or Magic could talk, they'd be in this conversation.
Brennan: I think Charles and Blake just have more natural comedic ability boston city tours than anybody else. It's hard to say why they're funny. I know growing up, Blake watched a ton of Comedy Central and HBO. Charles didn't have the same luxury, because, as far as I know, Alabama just got cable two years ago.
It's really a coin toss for me between who's funnier. It's really two different boston city tours styles of humor, both of which I like. The other thing about Blake is he's 23. For him to have this sophisticated a sense of humor is sort of bananas. I'm going to give it to Blake. I'm doing this because he's extremely funny, is a good comedic performer, and he's not even into his comedic prime yet, but also because he's my friend and he gets me free stuff from Nike.
Here s the sketch where we met. Seth Meyers and a bunch of SNL guys and I had written the sketch and we all looked at each other after BG's first take like, Who the hell is this kid? While we're on the subject, Kevin Love is a funny dude, too.
Bodden: I'd say he was always funny. I got to play ball with him on a TV show in 88 or 89. He was funny all day. Loose and natural. It was for thirtysomething , a dream sequence where the two stars, Tim Busfield and Ken Olin, dreamed they were on the Sixers . Barkley, Andrew Toney, and Mike Gminski were there. Some friends and I played the Celtics. Best moment was when Barkley asked me how much we got paid. I said, 300 bucks. He said, "Damn, just to play ball." I said, Don't you get 2 million a year? Then he started betting Gminski a hundred boston city tours bucks a shot as he tried hooks from around half court. Great guy, great day.
Bodden: If I had to guess, I would say Blake and Charles are in the top 10 percent. That may not just apply to athletes. boston city tours They're in the top 10 percent of the population. Although the way America s going, that bar lowers every year.
In terms of developing his personality, boston city tours my guess is Chuck was always funny, but the more he got out of Alabama and into the world, the more he realized, "Oh, I'm really funny and charming and people naturally sort of love me." In that Dream Team documentary, they had footage boston city tours of him out late at night in Barcelona just holding court on the street . He's wearing a once-in-a-lifetime bad purple onesie. And despite that, the people of Spain still loved him.
Bodden: Based on what I've seen, I'll give stand-up and improv to Sir Charles. I think he's faster on his feet and talks without thinking first. boston city tours For writing, I'd give it to Blake, and because of the commercials, I'd give Blake sketch, too.
I agree Blake is a great writer and performer and some free sneakers would definitely boston city tours buy my vote, but I'm still with Sir Charles. Remember, Charles is on TNT at least twice a week, where he has to be funny unscripted based on plays and players he's just seeing. And he has to clean up that noise Shaq is making. That's funny under pressure.
Writing: I was doing a pilot a while ago and I had a sketch in it. I sent the script to a few friends to punch up. The two guys who had the best ideas? Seth Meyers and Blake. boston city tours Seth's the head writer of SNL . Can't dunk at all.
Stand-up: If it were writing bits and performing them, I'd give it to Blake. If it were doing crowd work and dealing with drunk hecklers, I'd give it to Charles, without a doubt. In fact, if there was a show of just Charles dealing with antagonistic drunk people, one of whom he could throw through a window (only one per episode), I'd program my DVR for a season pass.

I prefer MLB Network's baseball studio shows to ESPN's. A notable exception to this is Harold Reynol

I watched, via television and the internet, Thursday harbor inn seafood restaurant night in Twins Territory. This is what I saw. It is NOT one of Bill Simmons' harbor inn seafood restaurant running diaries, as I have no friends named J-Bug nor eff-you money from the Worldwide Leader.
I prefer MLB Network's baseball studio shows to ESPN's. A notable exception harbor inn seafood restaurant to this is Harold Reynolds, who may very well be Baseball Todd McShay. He's just...he's not good. Now, unsolicited hugs that result in company-wide sensitivity training and/or lawsuits? Harold is on that shit.
What I know now: he's from Tomball, Texas, a suburb of Houston. He shares that hometown with Chris Herrmann. He throws a very fast fastball. Bruce Springsteen might call it a speedball. He was the consensus best high-school pitcher in the draft. He was slated to go to Texas A&M as a quarterback. The chances of him bypassing college to sign with Minnesota are 100% , per Keith Law, so don't panic. His ERA this season was 0.18. That's a damn fine ERA.
Anthony LaPanta is in the booth for Dick Bremer tonight, because Dick's son is graduating from high school. Remember when Dick wouldn't say "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" in promos for that show because he didn't want his kids to hear him swear on air?

Ryan Eades, the Twins' 2 nd -round pick, is a righthander out of LSU. Had a torn labrum in high school and is a Scott Boras client. KEEPING YOU INFORMED AND KEEPING YOU SAFE. THAT IS THE TWINKIE TOWN PROMISE.

The Warriors, as Simmons suggested in his article, actually offered a near perfect balance of a plat

At that point, Webber was still just a sophomore untainted by the infamous timeout and later controversy that led to Michigan having to forfeit all of the Fab Five's wins. As he would say often in later interviews, he was still just enjoying belgium brussels hotels life as a college kid and doing things that many of us would find familiar from our own college days; in the midst of "the best time of his life", Webber wasn't committed to making the leap to the NBA just yet, citing the difference between being a student athlete and professional athlete as a primary reason around the 17:00 minute mark of the DBJ video.
Not to be deterred by Webber's somewhat evasive answer about going pro, Russell asked about what would factor into his decision and noted the looming belgium brussels hotels possibility of a NBA rookie salary cap, a point that was hardly lost on Webber - he was clearly aware of the value of his budding superstar brand, if not due to his experience with how the University of Michigan had made money off his success then simply because he was an "articulate, bright young man" - as Russell put it - in contrast belgium brussels hotels to the brash bad guy reputation that he had gained from his on-court demeanor.
Of course, the rookie salary cap that Russell mentioned eventually came to fruition: by the time Webber would have graduated, the NBA established a rookie salary cap after fellow Big Ten alumnus Glenn Robinson signed a 10-year, $68 million rookie contract with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1994. While Robinson's contract was the most lucrative rookie contract ever on a yearly basis, Webber's 1993 contract with the Golden State Warriors was longer and included a clause that gave him far more power as a superstar rookie: an opt-out clause after his first season.
Russell's interview was less about basketball than the role of the black athlete in society, for which Webber was at once a glaring example of NCAA hypocrisy as a member belgium brussels hotels of the Fab Five, the media's tendency to cast black athletes in a rather limited light, a signifier of the street ball game coming face-to-face with the "purity" of Indiana basketball belgium brussels hotels and the tension of being young, black, gifted and middle class in a society that was still trying to understand its own decadent belgium brussels hotels history of race relations. And of course, he was a superstar - as big a college superstar as there had ever been at that time on a team that had quickly attained superstar status, which even the most talented championship teams in subsequent years have failed to achieve.
We sometimes forget that although we're quick to put college athletes belgium brussels hotels on superstar pedestals, belgium brussels hotels they're still college kids. Webber, whether by choice or force of consciousness from the social dynamics belgium brussels hotels of the world around him after a prep school education, carried the additional burden of shouldering the weight belgium brussels hotels of all the pressures Russell was teasing belgium brussels hotels out in his interview that were also described at further length in ESPN's Fab Five documentary just last year.
The tension belgium brussels hotels for Webber belgium brussels hotels was that although he accepted that responsibility, it was never clear that he was fully comfortable with it or at least still trying to digest it at the time of his 1993 interview.
Truthfully, I want to say I'm definitely not leaving but nothing's ever concrete. So as of now, no I'm not leaving - I enjoy college, belgium brussels hotels you know I would love the money, but if God's protected me this long I'm not scared of injury for another year. And plus I'm just enjoying myself - I really don't want a lot of responsibility on me now. I want to be able to go to parties and hang out, not have to worry, not have to play 82 games in a couple of months belgium brussels hotels like that, not get burned out. So I'm enjoying myself. I definitely do- I am thinking belgium brussels hotels about it, but for now I'm staying. My parents just let me make whatever decision I want to make.
Jason Whitlock, who was then covering Webber at Michigan for the Ann Arbor News, wrote that , "Chris Webber was never comfortable being Chris Webber." And regardless of whether you buy that from what you know of C-Webb, it's a theme that comes out repeatedly from that 1993 interview to his own descriptions of that infamous timeout against North Carolina to that interview years later on the Best Damn Sports Show Period with Jalen Rose, who Whitlock belgium brussels hotels wrote that Webber idolized. It seemed that Webber wanted to be one of the guys - and he quite literally was in choosing to go to Michigan with a long-time friend and another guy, Juwon Howard, who he was familiar with - but circumstances, whether bad decisions, bad timing, or just bad luck - seemed to repeatedly place him at the center of a storm.
Bill Simmons once wrote that , "Of all the potentially great careers that were squandered or affected in the '90s because young players were given too much money and power too soon...Webber remains the biggest casualty."
As Simmons describes, it's not as if Webber was a bad player, but that ultimately his legacy is that he never seized the opportunities belgium brussels hotels that could have defined his legacy. And you could easily argue, as Simmons did, that it all began with his decision to leave Golden State Warriors, the resulting casualty of the biggest casualty of young players being given too much power too soon.
As much as Webber belgium brussels hotels might have "idolized" guys like Jalen Rose, Detroit Pistons star Isiah Thomas - both for his work in black communities and his performance on the court - or even fellow belgium brussels hotels Michigan native Magic Johnson, it also seemed like there was a longing to play with one of those guys more than basking in his own superstar spotlight alone.
The Warriors, as Simmons suggested in his article, actually offered a near perfect balance of a platform waiting for a superstar of Webber's stature yet not stranding that superstar alone on his pedestal. And while Webber seemed almost singularly focused on the thought of playing with a local hero, Russell - who began his college basketball career at UTEP playing for Hall of Fame coach Don Haskins - also saw the fit in playing for the Warriors.
CW: I don't want to go to Dallas...I'll tell you, one thing for me - I can say this now because maybe I don't have any money - I think when you're at that level, as long as you're making great money like that, I think the next important thing is winning. Definitely the teams I want to play for, maybe a young team or I would love to play for a great point guard like Isiah Thomas or an Isiah Thomas or...
Russell's vision came true on draft day, with the Warriors trading Penny Hardaway, the third pick in the 1993 draft, and three draft picks (1996, 1998, and 2000) to the Orlando Magic for the rights for #1 pick Chris Webber.
Hardaway, Webber, and coach Don Nelson , seemed like a brilliant fit albeit one that made Webber-the-reluctant-superstar a centerpiece for a franchise belgium brussels hotels that had been looking for a big man since the disastrous trade of Robert Parrish and the pick that became Kevin McHale for a first pick squandered on Joe Barry Carroll.
Webber seemed to complete a roster that might fall short of contending in the short term but was young, talented, and seemed to embody everything that a guy like Nelson would want. With Hardaway injured for the entirety of Webber's rookie season, the Warriors still had a roster that included budding All-Star Latrell Sprewell and future Hall of Famer Chris Mullin. Tyrone Hill , Sarunas Marciulonis and Billy Owens, the protaganist in another disappointing Warriors move, were role players that would fill out a roster that looked even better on draft day than it had looked during the Run TMC years.
The promise of ending that search for a big man and becoming a perennial playoff belgium brussels hotels team in the Western Conference was what made Webber's presence so significant belgium brussels hotels for fans; the conflict of a seemingly reluctant superstar who was headstrong enough belgium brussels hotels not to be pushed around and being the prototypical Nellieball big man that Billy Owens wasn't for a coach whose style was borrowed from Red Auerbach is what ultimately ruined belgium brussels hotels it.
Ric Bucher of ESPN described how even before signing Webber, Nelson informed him he'd be playing center instead of around the perimeter. belgium brussels hotels "He wanted belgium brussels hotels to be Magic Johnson," recalls Spurs coach Gregg Popovich , another Nelson assistant at the time. "We wanted him to be more like Karl Malone."
Steve Kettman belgium brussels hotels of Slam Online told the story of how Webber eventually gained sway in the Warriors' locker room and the tension came to a head during a game on February 9, 1994 against the Charlotte Hornets when Nelson pulled Webber after a flashy pass. Webber eventually asked out, threatening to use his opt-out clause.
Marc Stein of ESPN has reported that after recognizing that he was losing this battle, Nelson wanted out to take a position with former assistant Gregg Poppovich who became the GM of the San Antonio Spurs on May 31, 1994. Owner Jim Fitzgerald wouldn't let Nelson out of his contract belgium brussels hotels because incoming owner Chris Cohan wanted belgium brussels hotels him to be the coach moving forward. Cohan's insistence on keeping Nelson led to the trade of Webber.
After the Webber fiasco, the Warriors belgium brussels hotels didn't make the playoffs again until Don Nelson and another dynamic point guard, Baron Davis , catalyzed the We Believe belgium brussels hotels run. Although some might typically attribute belgium brussels hotels the nice guy movement to the Sprewell incident, it could be traced just as much to Webber - the Warriors drafted Joe Smith first overall in the 1995 NBA draft, who was the anti-C-Webb both in attitude and style of play.
Adding insult to injury, the Warriors would trade Webber to the Washington Bullets for Tom Gugliotta and the rights to draft picks in the same three years that they lost from the original Webber belgium brussels hotels trade. Gugliotta had the worst year of his career with the Warriors before being traded straight up for Donyell Marshall . Unable to ever find a star who could even match Webber's superstar status as a collegiate player, the Warriors hit rock bottom at the turn of the century, failing to win more than 21 games in a season from 1997-2002.
Ultimately, Webber did define whatever Warriors
