			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/logo.gif"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-180" title="logo" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/logo-150x126.gif" alt="" width="150" height="126" /></a>More mud will be offered for runners March 28 in the fourth annual Mud Run, a five-mile event presented by the Big Sur International Marathon in cooperation with the U.S. Army Garrison-Presidio of Monterey and California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Popular with local military personnel, college students and adventurers who prefer sports with a twist, the Mud Run is open to all-comers at least age 15. Encompassing approximately five miles of road, trails, mud pits, walls and other obstacles, the 2009 event will add a fourth pit and more obstacles.<br />
<span id="more-181"></span><br />
The race is patterned after the popular mud run at Camp Pendleton, and will include local Army and Marine drill sergeants on site “barking” orders to motivate participants</p>
<p>The 9 a.m. race will begin at Freeman Stadium on the CSUMB campus, the former site of Ft. Ord in Seaside, California. It will conclude with a final shower and lap around the stadium track.</p>
<p>Participants may compete as individuals (civilian or military) or as part of a fiv-person team. Team categories include: Open Male, Open Female, Mixed, Corporate, Military, Public Safety and Collegiate.  All five team members must cross the finish line together with linked arms to compete for awards.</p>
<p>Initiated by the Presidio of Monterey’s Family, Morale Welfare and Recreation division in 2006, the Mud Run is a cooperative effort of the Presidio, the CSUMB athletic department and the Big Sur International Marathon race organization.  Key sponsor Granite Construction Company assists with the building of the mud pits and other course obstacles.</p>
<p>Entry fees for the Mud Run are $48 (individual) and $240 (five-person teams) with a discount for active military participants and students.  Online registration is available at <a href="http://www.bigsurmudrun.org" target="_blank">www.bigsurmudrun.org</a>. For questions:  Telephone: (831) 625-6226; E-mail: info@bsim.org.</p>

<p>Holiday shopping for a golfer is easy. Any golfer can use traditional items — the latest technology in balls, a new glove design or a trendy shirt. But surprising a golfer with an unusual gift is more challenging. But there are plenty of choices. If you’re seeking a luxury gift, for example, how about purchasing an all encompassing entry to a year-end tournament and party at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Inn at Spanish Bay? Or how about a gift certificate for a round or rounds of golf at a unique destination or a practical accessory stocking stuffer?</p>
<p><span id="more-160"></span>Here are four items for the golfer on your holiday shopping list. Some items are heavy on the wallet, but all are lightweight overall, easily transportable and varyingly suitable for beginners to top-flight amateurs.</p>
<p><strong>* Pebble Beach Dream </strong>— The fourth annual New Year’s Championships, a two-person team best ball event with gross and net flights, will be held Dec. 30-Jan. 1 at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spanish Bay Golf Course.</p>
<p>Suited for couples but also available to single golfers, the package includes: two nights accommodations at The Inn at Spanish Bay, two rounds of golf (one at Spanish Bay, one at Pebble Beach), ticket to a New Year’s Eve party at The Inn at Spanish Bay, two additional food and beverage functions, individual player tee package and awards to the top-three teams in each flight.</p>
<p>Cost is $950 without rooms, $1,550 per player for shared room, $2,215 per player for individual room. Additional New Year’s Eve tickets are $150.</p>

<p><strong>* Perfect Pairing: Golf And Chocolate</strong> — Known as the “Sweetest Place On Earth,” Hershey, Pa., is not only the home to Hershey Company, the manufacturer of the famous chocolates, it’s home to four golf courses, including Hershey Links.</p>
<p>Part of the Hershey Golf Collection of courses, Hershey Links has been cited for the “Best New Course Design in Central Pennsylvania.” And it’s offering four gift packages: Three greens fees and a Hershey Links polo shirt ($135); Ten Greens Fees, Jan. 1-April 5, and a polo shirt ($199); Three one-hour golf lessons and a polo shirt ($250); And a Hershey Golf Links gift certificate. The first three gift options do not include a golf cart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/pebble_beach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-144" title="pebble_beach" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/pebble_beach-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Ryan Palmer, who earlier this month claimed his second career title, will be joined by three other 2008 PGA Tour tournament winners in the 37th annual Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational presented by Merrill Lynch. The unique 72-hole event, which features 81 professionals from the four major tours as well as mini-tour players and club pros, will be held Nov. 18-23 at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Del Monte Golf Course.</p>
<p><span id="more-150"></span>Palmer, a fifth-year PGA Tour pro, earned his first PGATour win since his debut season in 2004 at the Ginn sur Mer Classic (Nov. 2). He will be joined by 2008 tournament winners Steve Lowery, D.J. Trahan and Chez Reavie among 29 PGA Tour players in the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational field.</p>
<p>Trahan won the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (Jan. 20). Lowery is the reigning AT&amp;T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am titlist (Feb. 10). Reavie claimed the RBC Canadian Open (July 27).</p>
<p>Palmer, whose 2007 season was the least successful of his young career, was in jeopardy of losing is full PGA Tour exemption for 2009. But he rallied to win the Ginn sur Mer Classic in unique circumstances.</p>
<p>After beginning the week in 143rd on the season money list, he made an 11-foot birdie putt of the final hole to emerge from a multiple player tie. Palmer’s win also came after a rain delay and during a round in which he called a one-stroke penalty on himself and recorded a bogey when his ball moved in gusting winds as he was about to putt on the 10th hole.<a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/callaway-300x1351.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-145" title="callaway-300x1351" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/callaway-300x1351.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="135" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;I had it a little rough last year,&#8221; said Palmer, who eventually finished 68th on the 2008 season-ending money list to secure a two-year exemption. &#8220;I put so much sweat and a lot of tears into this year. I&#8217;m speechless; it&#8217;s unbelievable. The work I put in this year, working hard, grinding. For it to finally show, I knew it was coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Founded in 1972, the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational is the only tournament featuring individual competition among players from the four major tours.</p>
<p>Championship rounds for the $300,000 event will be played Nov. 20-23 with the first three rounds held simultaneously on all three courses. Following the 54-hole cut, the top 40 pros and 10 amateur teams will play the final round Sunday, Nov. 23 at Pebble Beach Golf Links.</p>
<p>The winner will earn $60,000. Tee shot yardage advantages are given to various tours’ players on each of the three courses.</p>
<p>Admission to the tournament is free as is entrance to the 17-Mile Drive for tournament spectators.</p>
<p>Kevin Sutherland, who won the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational in 2000 and had two runner-up finishes this season, is the top 2008 PGA Tour money list entrant in 18th place with more than $2.5 million.</p>
<p>John Cook, who finished fifth on the money list this season, will lead nine Champions Tour entrants. Brittany Lincicome, one of the longest hitters on the LPGA Tour and a 2007 Solheim Cup member, will lead seven LPGA Tour entrants. The 14 entrants from the Nationwide Tour will include nine players who will be competing on the PGA Tour in 2009.</p>
<p>Rocco Mediate, second this year in a Monday playoff to Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open and the 1999 Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational winner, will also be in the field that includes a half-dozen former Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational winners.</p>
<p>Two-time U.S. Open winner Lee Janzen, 2002 PGA Championship titlist Rich Beem and former U.S. Open winner and Scott Simpson, the former U.S. Open winner who won the 2006 Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, are also in the field.</p>
<p>The Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational benefits The Kiwanis Club of Monterey County and the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/callaway-300x1351.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-145" title="callaway-300x1351" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/callaway-300x1351.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="135" /></a>&#8220;I had it a little rough last year,&#8221; said Palmer, who eventually finished 68th on the 2008 season-ending money list to secure a two-year exemption. &#8220;I put so much sweat and a lot of tears into this year. I&#8217;m speechless; it&#8217;s unbelievable. The work I put in this year, working hard, grinding. For it to finally show, I knew it was coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Founded in 1972, the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational is the only tournament featuring individual competition among players from the four major tours.</p>

<p>The 36th annual Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races and auto exposition is scheduled Aug. 14-16, 2009, at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif., General Racing has announced. Next year’s dates come in the still-buzzing aftermath of this year’s successful event during which special guest Mario Andretti drove his famous Lotus 79.  <span id="more-128"></span>Porsche, the manufacturer that has long intrigued compassionate global automobile enthusiasts, will be the featured marque.</p>
<p>“We are extremely excited to honor Porsche and its incredible racing heritage at the 36th Rolex Monterey Historic,” said Steve Earle, founder of the event and president of General Racing. “With great cars from the early 356 Speedsters and Spyders, to the 917’s, this event will be an auto enthusiasts dream and we look forward to seeing these vehicles on the track.”  <a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/image0011.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-130" title="mh_35th_logo_idea1" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/image0011-300x176.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="176" /></a></p>
<p>The iconic 356 gave Porsche its first overall win in a major sports car racing event at the 1956 Targa Florio. The 356s Speedsters and Spyders are rarely in public view but will be showcased at Rolex Monterey Historic Races.  The Porsche workmanship and craftsman has endured endless replications, improvements and technical evolution of the intervening 60 years.</p>
<p>The early 356’s lean curvatures, penned by engineer/aerodynamicist Erwin Komenda, are fundamental to Porsche products.  The Porsche 917 was in its heyday the fastest series production car ever produced, and it was made into a movie star by Steve McQueen in his 1971 film Le Mans. The movie magnificently showcases the bright blue and orange livery Gulf 917K and Porsche Austria 917LH.</p>
<p>“Porsche won the Can-Am Championship here in 1972 and 1973 with one of the most iconic sports racing cars of all time,” said Gill Campbell, CEO/general manager of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “The 917 was known for its high speeds and high horsepower outputs and raced successfully here at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.”</p>
<p>Tickets, additional event information, parking directions and information for the 2009 season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca are available by calling (800) 327-SECA or online at <a href="http://www.laguna-seca.com" target="_blank">www.laguna-seca.com</a>.</p>
<p>Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca’s 2009 racing schedule includes: The Festival of Speed featuring Rolex Grand-Am Series, May 15-17; Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix featuring MotoGP World Championship, July 3-5;  36th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races August 14-16; and the Monterey Sports Car Championships featuring the American Le Mans Series, Oct. 9-11.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carmel2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-121" title="carmel2" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carmel2-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="121" height="121" /></a>It&#8217;s hard to imagine Carmel is only No. 6. Then, again named anywhere in the top-10 among the world’s best cities by the magazine Conde Nast Traveler is pretty good. Now in  its 21st year of selecting great cities, Carmel is the smallest city (via population) of any of the cities on  the list. And it’s ranked No. 6 behind  San Francisco, Charleston, S.C., New York, Santa Fe and Chicago.  <span id="more-120"></span>The magazine had more than 32,000 readers participate in the annual survey, with more than 1,000 travel experiences rated and ranked.  Here’s what the magazine had to say about Carmel:  <a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carmelweather.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-122" title="carmelweather" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/carmelweather-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>“Originally founded as an artists&#8217; colony in the early 20th century, Carmel (also known as Carmel-by-the-Sea) has the look and feel of a Christmas snow-globe village—without the snow. Streets are paved with cobblestones, giant Monterey pines make whooshing sounds in the sea breeze, and the houses resemble picturesque Mediterranean villas and miniature castles.  “The artists have long since been priced out, and major celebrities (Doris Day, Clint Eastwood) have taken their place, but you&#8217;ll still find more galleries per capita than perhaps anywhere else on the California coast. Head to Dolores Street between Fifth and Sixth for the best gallery-hopping. Stop into the Carmel Art Association, the only gallery that exclusively shows local works (831-624-6176; www.carmelart.org); Masterpiece Gallery, which has a collection of early Californian and American paintings (831-624-2163; www.masterpiecegallerycarmel.com); and Gallery Sur, specializing in landscape photography (831-626-2615; www.gallerysur.com).  The best time to visit Carmel is midweek; avoid coming on Saturday in summer, when it gets overrun with oohing-and-aahing tourists. If you want to meet locals, head for the beach in the early evening; the whole community seems to turn out to watch the sunset.”  All of this is true, but there’s plenty more, much of it tucked away off tourist maps and known only locals or to  frequent visitors who find their way.</p>

<p>Press Release</p>
<p>PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — One week after completing the most successful season of his nearly 30-year PGA Tour career, Tommy Armour III will begin defense of his 2007 title at the 37th annual Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational presented by Merrill Lynch. After playing this week in the Children’s Miracle Network Classic in Orlando, Fla., the final PGA Tour event of the season, Armour will be among a strong field of 81 professionals in the uniquely formatted event, Nov. 18-23, 2008, at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Del Monte Golf Course.</p>
<p><span id="more-114"></span>Armour, grandson of the U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship winner, has five top-10 finishes this season in 24 PGA Tour events and is 62nd on the money list with more than $1.5 million. It’s the first season since joining the PGA Tour in 1982, Armour has earned more than $1 million.</p>
<p>The 72-hole Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational, founded in 1972, is the only tournament that features individual competition among players from the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, Champions Tour, Nationwide Tour as well as mini-tour players, club pros and amateur teams.</p>
<p>Championship rounds for the $300,000 event will be played Nov. 20-23 with the first three rounds held simultaneously on all three courses. Following the 54-hole cut, the top 40 pros and 10 amateur teams will play the final round Sunday, Nov. 23 at Pebble Beach. The winner will earn $60,000. Tee shot yardage advantages are given to various tours’ players on each of the three courses.<br />
Admission is free throughout the tournament on all three courses.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/callaway-300x135.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-116" title="callaway-300x135" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/callaway-300x135.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="135" /></a>“I am absolutely thrilled with the professional field we have selected for this year’s tournament, all of whom will be attempting to dethrone our defending champion, Tommy Armour III,” said first-year tournament director Bill Sendell.</p>
<p>Ryan Palmer, who claimed his second career win last Sunday at the Ginn sur Mer Classic in Florida, will also be among 29 PGA Tour entrants.</p>
<p>Rocco Mediate, second this year in a Monday playoff to Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open, will be joined by Armour, Palmer and more than a half-dozen former Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational titlists.</p>
<p>Kevin Sutherland, who won the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational in 2000 and has two runner-up finishes this season, is currently the top PGA Tour money list entrant in 18th place with mor e than $2,5 million.</p>
<p>John Cook, who finished fifth on the money list this season, will lead nine Champions Tour entrants. Brittany Lincicome, one of the longest hitters on the LPGA Tour and a 2007 Solheim Cup member, will lead seven LPGA Tour entrants. The 14 entrants from the Nationwide Tour will include nine players who will be competing on the PGA Tour in 2009.</p>
<p>“Sunday’s final should be a special day as spectators have the opportunity to walk along with some of the world’s greatest players at Pebble Beach Golf Links as they vie for the professional title,” said Sendell. “Perhaps the most exciting thing is that there is no charge for spectators to enjoy the tournament.”</p>
<p>Armour, who turned age 49 in October, is a two-time PGA Tour event winner. He ended more than a four-year winless streak with his Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational victory last year.</p>
<p>After beginning the final round with a one-stroke lead over Ronnie Black, Armour shot a 2-under-par 70 final round at Pebble Beach en route to a 16-under 272 total and a two-stroke victory over Black and Mediate.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just played good all week and never had a three-putt,&#8221; said Armour, whose last PGA Tour win was the 2003 Valero Texas Open in a still-record 34-under par. “I told myself this morning that I had to shoot 70 to win. I shot 70.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational benefits The Kiwanis Club of Monterey County and the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association.</p>

It’s quiet, the art gallery windows seem different and there’s a local pub or two — Jack London’s and Brophy’s come to mind — within walking distance from any accommodation location.</p>
<p><span id="more-104"></span>But perhaps my favorite stop is the KRML studio, museum and retail store on San Carlos and Fifth Ave. I can’t help but either walk past the place and just look in the window for a minutes (if it’s very late) or stop in early in the evening and reminisce  while  looking at the cool jazz stuff. Much of it is  related to Clint Eastwood and his long-time passion for jazz as an enthusiast and composer.</p>
<p>Usually, there’s some standard jazz cut playing and it reminds me of my father, who was a lifelong jazz fan and a good selection of the retro jazz albums and CDs available for sale in the store.</p>
<div id="attachment_109" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 145px"><a href="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/captmike_window_thumb.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-109" title="captmike_window_thumb" src="http://www.montereypeninsula.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/captmike_window_thumb.jpg" alt="KRML jock Capt. Mike" width="135" height="180" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KRML jock Capt. Mike</p></div>
<p>Sometimes, when you walk past the studio and store, a show host in sitting in the front window. I always take the time to wave or give a “thumb’s up.”</p>
<p>The folks at KRML have a good presence on the web, too, and they recently forwarded an update on the station&#8217;s web store stock. Here&#8217;s the notice (edited for brevity):</p>
<p><em>“We have just expanded our web store to include some great gift ideas for any of the upcoming holidays, birthdays, and special events in your lives!  (By the way, did you know we don&#8217;t charge postage for CD&#8217;s shipped in the lower 48?  Just call and have us find your favorite band, singer, swinger, or artists of any kind &#8212; if it&#8217;s in print we&#8217;ll mail it postage free!.  And if you&#8217;re out of state that saves 7.25% California tax as well!)</em></p>
<p><em>We&#8217;ve kept the choices simple, easy to see, easy to order, too. Just go to <a href="http://www.krmlradio.com" target="_blank">www.krmlradio.com</a> and click on &#8220;store&#8221; and then scroll down to see the children&#8217;s books and CDs, tote bags in many colors, 100% wool berets to fit all sizes, and all the logo clothing items we carry, too!</em></p>
<p><em>Free shipping is offered on some items. Also, ask about our &#8220;Make My Day Discount Card.&#8221; We initial a card for each purchase of $20 or more and after 10 items, you get to pick one free at a value of $20! Yes, it works on mail orders, also!”<br />

<p>The Monterey Peninsula has a diverse selection of restaurants, inexpensive sandwich shops to family restaurants, national chains to world renowned, exclusive fine-dining establishments. Unfortunately, the Monterey Peninsula also has a good share of restaurants that come and go, casualties of the fluctuating economy and as a world famous area that relies heavily on its tourism industry to support local establishments.</p>
<p><span id="more-97"></span>During my quarter-century of living and visiting the Monterey Peninsula, I’ve eaten at many Monterey Peninsula restaurants, locals’ favorites like The Fish Wife and Peppers in Pacific Grove and fine-dining like Casanova in Carmel. Here’s a list on Monterey Peninsula restaurants and their web sites.</p>
<p>If you’ve dined at a restaurant listed (or one that isn’t) and you’d like tell me about it, I’ll post the review.</p>
<p>Abalonetti Seafood Trattoria<br />
