Open Question: Looking for the name of a subdivision in Florida?
I thought its name was Spring Creek, but when I look up the name, it's wrong.
The subdivision was around an hour away from Universal Studios, and around 15-25 minutes away from Daytona Beach.
I was told John Travolta used to live there.
It has really pretty architecture: http://www.landscapesbyoasis.com/images/yellow_florida_house_landscapes_by_oasis_6k4a.jpg
That's what the houses looked like.
It has a golf course, lots of lakes, a run way, garages for planes...
A Nascar driver lives there...
I think it's in Eastern Florida...
Sorry for the lack of information :3

Resolved Question: Do you think the Obamas are too stressed out in Washington?
Poor President Obama just returned from a vacation in Maine, and now he has to take another vacation in Florida. Michelle is so stressed out that she will be going to Spain, before they take a 10 day vacation in Martha's Vineyard in August. The long hours on the golf course don't seem to relieve his stress.

Resolved Question: Trapped alligators and koi, what should i do?
Recently I went to this mini golfing site in Orlando called Congo River Golf. I don't remember the exact location but it was kinda near universal, sort of. There was this hotel called WR and it was behind it. Anyway , it was a really nice place, a jungle sort of theme. However, in the front of the site, there are two 7 x 7 ft pens opposite one another. One filled with baby alligators, max: about 2 ft long, the other filled with large koi. There were about 12 of these alligators stuffed in this cage, which was filled with army green colored water and a 3 foot piece of rock for them to sit on. The koi were in the same type of water, and covered with many white, stringy parasites.to feed these animals u would pay 3 dollars to put a piece of hot dog on a fishing line and "tease" the gators or use bread and rocks to feed the koi. These enclosures did NOT meet my standards and these are wild animals, well at least kind of. They deserve to be treated well, not tortured and taunted. What should i do? I feel like i should take action, but how? I don't live in Florida, and does anyone know an email or something of a wild life rescue team i could get to rescue these animals?

Resolved Question: Is BP finally coming under some hardnosed scrutiny?
BP: RICO Law Made To Combat Mafia Used Against Oil Giant In Lawsuits
MIAMI (AP) -- Using a law originally enacted to combat the Mafia, attorneys are filing lawsuits accusing BP PLC and Transocean Ltd. of committing a longterm series of crimes by concealing flaws in deepwater drilling plans and lacking safeguards to contain a catastrophic Gulf of Mexico spill.
BP has been named in at least three lawsuits brought under the federal law known as RICO, which stands for Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations. Transocean, which leased the ill-fated Deepwater Horizon drilling rig to BP, has been named in two lawsuits filed in Louisiana and Florida.
The lawsuits accuse both companies of committing wire and mail fraud over a number of years by filing false documents with the U.S. government, and by misleading investors through other documents and falsehoods. They also claim both companies are guilty of bribery because they are part of an overall oil and gas industry effort to "infiltrate" federal regulators by providing favors such as alcohol and drugs, sex, golf and ski trips, concert and sports tickets, and more.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/19/bp-rico-law-made-to-comba_n_650900.html
It's been clear for some while [from the long series of shortcuts they were allowed to take and compromised regulatory officials and agencies] that accusations of bribery, power brokering and other shady dealing were eventually going to come into the picture.
Has BP improved the inevitable future image of itself by refusal to cooperate with the government by providing data and documents while shooing away reporters and photographers with threats and legal intimidations?
It's not so much a matter of the Mafia being the Mafia and BP being BP. How would BP have behaved differently if it had been the Mafia?
Could a case be made the Mafia might have just shot those people on the rig in the head instead of letting them burn to death and drown?
As it says in the Bible, or the Bard, or the Martian Chronicles, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Dee: Negligent homicide, criminal negligence and the inability to trust that government prosecutors will diligently pursue prosecution of the guilty parties, maybe?
d_doc_2: Do you suppose they saved enough in their shortcuts and deals they made with Bush and Chaney to cover all that?

Resolved Question: Where should I try to play college golf?
I have a lot of developing left to do with my golf swing (I'm 15 years old and will be a sophomore come fall), and I realize I have a lot of improvement to do before I go to any of these universities. I have a 0 handicap (The Southern California Golf Association has me at +0.2) and I am a member of the AJGA. I have tournament experience (no AJGA events yet), and my competitive scores are steadily improving due to more tournament experience. I don't have any offers, and I'm just doing this for fun. I have a lot of schools I would like to go to, but it'll take a lot of hard work to get in to them all. Here they are (and my reasons for wanting to go there):
1) University of Tennessee: My uncle played for the golf team there from 1983-1987 and finished runner-up to Billy Mayfair in the 1987 U.S. Amateur and played in the 1988 Masters. He was a 2-time Academic All-American and currently my swing coach. I have been to the campus once and to the city of Knoxville several times and love the atmosphere there.
2) Florida State University: My parents' alma mater. I have been to the campus twice and I love the small town, "everyone knows each other" vibe it gives. A lot of tradition at FSU, too. That War Chant gives me the chills.
3) Oklahoma State University: If you're a junior golfer, who doesn't dream of going to OK State? With the likes of Scott Verplank, Hunter Mahan, and Rickie Fowler going through there on their way of going to the top (PGA Tour), why not want to go there?
4) University of Southern California: Ah, the University of Spoiled Children. Don't really have any desire to go there, but it's USC and it's two hours from my house. And they have a phenomenal golf team. Plus, I know someone who committed to playing golf for the Trojans.
5) University of Alabama: Don't really like Tuscaloosa or Nick Saban (does it matter when you play golf?), but I aspire to go to law school and I've heard their law school is phenomenal. Besides, their golf team is great.
If you had offers to any of those schools, where would you go? Your thoughts. Oh yeah, I have a 4.0 grade point average.
Yeah, I realize I still have a ton of development to do and I gotta win big in some AJGA or IJGT events before I even consider this.
