Chalet Hotel Parc Victoria Reviews
10 of us went to Cortina & none of us had been before. We had a fantastic time & would go back. The resort was beautiful & plenty of skiing for the mixed group. It was great to be in an authentic resort too. The Chalet Hotel Parc Victoria was superb value & lived up to its 4-star status. Although it's not ski-in/ski-out it didn't seem to matter as there was never a queue for the buses & the hotel runs a mini-bus service. We skied late in the season (end of March) so we were grateful for the late snow conditions. Don't go if you're after a lively apres resort as it's far more classy than that. Check out the Champagne Bar at the Col Druscie restaurant! Overall, we can't believe the incredible deal we saw on Travelzoo & booked with Iglu.

We visited this hotel as a family of 5 over the 2016 Christmas period and had a wonderful holiday. The hotel staff were excellent and since our family was aged between 19-23 they all made great friends with the staff who were of similar ages, this kept them entertained ( several 3 am home comings, after visits to local night clubs and bars) The Hotel is very Old School and rustic bedrooms , that gave it a lovely charm. Food was very good each eveing and portions generous. You will be offered an aperitif each evening and wine included in your package if you travel with Igluski/Inghams who run the chalet hotel. We weren't blessed with snow, however the Cortina Snow blowers allowed us to ski from top to bottom of the mountain with excellent piste. We would definately return to this hotel and Cortina , so a big thumbs up ....Quaint hotel / luxury resort. Ask for a room with balcony as the views are lovely. Free 8 seater hotel bus is great, as is public transport that runs from just accross road.

Libor Pains
The rate-setting scandal involving the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, has ensnared financial traders on both sides of the Atlantic. Authorities are investigating more than a dozen major banks for allegedly manipulating the rate, which is the benchmark interest rate used for financial transactions worldwide, in order to profit on trades. But special attention should be paid to regulators, who failed to rein in the practice. Officials at the Bank of England reportedly knew about the malfeasance as early as 2007; and in 2008 Timothy Geithner, then at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, sent an e-mail message to Mervyn A. King at the Bank of England urging reform. Mr. King, however, deferred to the British Bankers' Association, a private group charged with overseeing the rate setting, and both the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve lobbied to keep their recommendations anonymous. As a result, nothing was done, and the problem remained unresolved.
The case is another example of the lax regulation of the financial sector. Even in a case of obvious misconduct, the leaders of two major financial institutions were reluctant to "go public" with their knowledge. By deferring to a private banking association, the Bank of England allowed itself to be a pawn of the banking industry rather than a leader of it. Because the matter is so complex, public outrage is likely to be muted. Arrests of individual traders are expected, but a broader and more sustained examination of regulatory procedures is warranted. The scandal is further evidence that the banking industry cannot regulate itself, and that regulatory bodies like the Security and Exchange Commission and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be more robust and better funded.
Love Your Clients
Kevin Doyle was so effective as New York State capital defender that no one was executed, the death penalty was abolished, and his job disappeared. Recently the New York City Bar Association honored him with the Norman Redich Capital Defense Distinguished Service Award. Mr. Doyle's response to the award merits attention because in the current political climate, the dignity of every human life tends to be lost.
In his remarks Mr. Doyle listed motives that inspired death-penalty opponents: the "underdog ethic," determination to carry on the work of the 1960s civil rights movement, a desire to foster good government. "For some of us," he added, "it was a matter of religious faith."
The church over the centuries has had some "pretty awful chapters," he acknowledged, but "a Catholic understands that every person is made in God's image—every person black or white, rich or poor, born or unborn, innocent or guilty. And every life must be held sacred from conception to natural death—natural death, death in God's time, not the state's.... We brought all different motivations and philosophies, but we shared this in common—we loved our clients unconditionally."
Loving clients did not mean that defense attorneys infantilized their clients or ignored the grief and suffering they had caused, or that they shied away from difficult choices. It meant they had to earn the trust of these men, "most of whom never had reason to trust anyone."
Mr. Doyle concluded: "Love your clients. You will be better lawyers and you will be better people—and your cases will turn out better."
In Corpore Sano
Twenty-one people were treated for burns following their attempt to walk a 10-foot length of hot coals at a recent motivational event that featured Tony Robbins. The ceremony is part of a seminar meant to teach participants that they can overcome any obstacles in life. Approximately 6,000 participants attempted such a feat that day, willingly putting bare skin in contact with coals heated to temperatures ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 degrees in order to prove their mettle and determination.
But the bishops of the United Kingdom and Ireland have suggested an alternative method, perhaps a more productive one, for pushing one's body to the limit. In celebration of both the London Olympics and the Day for Life on July 29, Archbishop Peter Smith of Southwark, England, chairman of the Department for Christian Responsibility and Citizenship of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, urged Catholics to look to the training of Olympic athletes for inspiration. He reminded Catholics that "after years of dedicated training, personal sacrifice and daily discipline," the body can perform "feats that humanly we would think impossible."
In a world in which many seek instant gratification, these words call to mind Aristotle's belief that "we are what we repeatedly do." Character is not built in a single act but over the course of a lifetime. In their statement, the bishops also reminded Catholics to take care of their bodies and to use their bodies to glorify God: "The athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic games…testify that to achieve success in sport requires a harmony between the body, the spirit and the mind brought about through training and discipline."

Glamour Personified: Gloria Swanson
Gloria Swanson's film career began at the age of fifteen when she appeared in silent films made in her hometown of Chicago. Two years later, when her father's work with the army required him to be stationed in the Philippines, Swanson moved to California and began working with Mack Sennett, the prolific Hollywood producer of such popular film series as Keystone Kops. By 1919, she was a favorite of Cecil B. DeMille and quickly rose to stardom within his studio, Paramount. By 1925, the peak of her career, she had made some fifty films, all silent.
The first talkie Swanson starred in was her own production of The Trespasser. Filming of this movie began as a silent picture, but after becoming convinced of the success of the new "talkies," Swanson hired Edmund Goulding, who wrote the script in three weeks, enabling the distribution of the "talkie" within the year.
At this point, she joined United Artists, a production company through which prominent actors were able to produce, direct, and star in their own films. Though she won Academy Award nominations for two of the films she produced and starred in, Sadie Thompson and The Trespasser, she virtually disappeared from the public eye after 1933.
Relocating to New York, Swanson was an active businesswoman involved in various ventures, including an invention and patents company. After World War II, Swanson appeared in theater and television productions but was not widely recognized until 1950, when she appeared in Sunset Boulevard. Her performance in this film won Swanson yet another Academy Award nomination for what came to be considered a historic comeback role.

More news about: Hobart
Nov 16, 2013
The seventh-ranked Hobart College football team generated four takeaways and logged three sacks as the Statesmen completed their second consecutive undefeated regular season, defeating the University of Rochester 42-21 at Edwin Fauver Stadium in Rochester, N.Y., this afternoon.
Hobart (9-0, 7-0 Liberty League) intercepted the Yellowjackets' league-leading passer Dean Kennedy three times and recovered a fumble without turning the ball over. Sophomore linebacker Trayvon Toney logged a game-high 14 tackles (13 solo) to lead the charge. Senior Jolyon Davis had two of the three picks, recording his first on the final play of the first half in the end zone to prevent a Rochester score. He ran back his second 43 yards for a touchdown and a 28-14 third quarter Hobart lead.
Senior linebacker Devin Worthington recorded three tackles for loss, including a sack, breaking the Hobart career record for tackles for loss, previously held by Rob Gould (59.0). Worthington has 61.5 heading into the NCAA Playoffs. Gould slips back to No. 3 on the all-time list, as junior defensive end Tyre Coleman had one tackle for loss raising his career total to 59.5.
Hobart clinched the Liberty League title outright a week ago when the Statesmen defeated St. Lawrence and Rochester lost to WPI. However, with the win, the Statesmen retain The Centennial Cup, a trophy created in 2007 to mark the 100th game between the Upstate New York rivals. Hobart has won the trophy six times in seven years. The Statesmen lead the all-time series, which began in 1892, 51-48-7.
Senior quarterback Patrick Conlon threw for a pair of touchdowns and junior fullback Dominique Ellis ran for two scores to lead the offense. Junior wideout Elvin Souffrant was Hobart's top receiver with three catches for 77 yards.
Conlan completed 9-of-14 throws for 185 yards. He threw a 17-yard TD pass to junior tight end Mike Berkowitz with 5:33 left in the second quarter to give Hobart a 14-7 lead heading into the locker room. In the third quarter, Conlan found junior wideout John Fasano behind the Yellowjacket defense for a 64-yard TD and a 35-14 lead. That capped a 21-0 run by Hobart after Rochester knotted the score at 14-14 on its first possession of the second half.
Ellis ran 11 yards to score early in the second quarter. That capped a nine-play 55-yard drive. Rochester drove 86 yards in 11 plays to tie it at 7-7. Kennedy ran in from 6 yards out. The Conlan-to-Berkowitz TD pass ended a six-play, 67-yard drive.
Kennedy threw a 29-yard TD pass to Thomas Hayes just three plays after the Yellowjackets blocked a Hobart punt. That evened it at 14-14with 11:32 left in the third quarter. Less than two minutes later, Hobart went ahead for good. Ellis drove through left guard and burst into the Rochester secondary outrunning pursuers to the end zone for a 43-yard touchdown. Hobart led, 21-14, with 9:33 left in the third.
On Rochester's next possession, Davis' pick six doubled Hobart's lead.
Senior running back Steven Webb led the Hobart ground game with 95 yards on 19 carries. He scored on a 48-yard run in the fourth quarter, extending the Statesmen lead to 42-14. He now has 17 touchdowns on the year, two shy of the Hobart season record shared by Don Aleksiewicz (1971) and Bobby Dougherty (2012).
Kennedy tied the Rochester record for completions in a game by hitting 28-of-45 for 326 yards and two TDs. Hayes caught 10 passes for 156 yards. The other touchdown throw came midway through the fourth when Kennedy found linebacker Tony Ortega on the left side of the end zone.
The Statesmen will find out where their third consecutive NCAA Division III Football Championship appearance will begin at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17, when the 32-team tournament field is revealed in the selection show webcast on NCAA.com.

Dedicated to building the House of Prayer throughout the Earth
Join our mailing list!
Through The Veil Ministries
Through The Veil Ministries is dedicated to the establishment of the House of Prayer throughout the earth. Toward this end we are involved with worship, prayer and teaching ministry internationally, as well as education missions for children at risk.
In these pages you will have the opportunity to learn more about the House of Prayer. You will be invited to participate in an online virtual House of Prayer experience through worship, prayer and revelation from the Word and the Spirit. You will find opportunities to become involved at different levels by signing up for our newsletter, participating in questions and answers by email, learning more about the House of Prayer in the Through The Veil equipping school, or giving to the ongoing work of Through The Veil Ministries.
The House of Prayer
The International House of Prayer in Kansas City, an early work at the forefront of the current movement, began its 24-hour a day schedule of worship and intercession in September 1999. Since that time a growing vanguard of fledgling prayer ministries have sprung up in cities across the globe with similar vision and purpose. The overall goal is to see a 24 hour a day, citywide House of Prayer in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David established in every major city of the earth, as outposts of heaven planted in the earth, as cities of refuge for the children, and as a new kind of base for world missions: that the Nations may come to know Him in the House of Prayer before the Lord's return.
Worship, Intercession and Revelation
Worship, Intercession and Revelation are being released today within this new paradigm. The House of Prayer is an establishment of the very tabernacle of heaven in the earth, where we can... enter the Most Holy Place into the presence of God by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us Through The Veil, that is his flesh, and since we can have an intimate, personal relationship with God in this place, having the great priest Jesus over the house of God and not a man, let us each boldly draw near to God in worship, intercession and revelation (Hebrews 10:19-22, paraphrased).
Prophetic Revelation
In prophetic revelation this work of God has been foreshadowed throughout the whole of the Bible, it has been experienced by His people in prophetic foretastes throughout history, and it is what we can look forward to in greater measure as the days before us unfold. This work is, however, a new thing that God is establishing in the earth in strategic locations for the very first time on a global scale. What is this new thing? This new work of God in the earth is the establishment of centers dedicated to this spiritual work twenty-four hours a day: His House of Prayer raised up in cities all over the globe, a fulfillment of this prophetic revelation.
The Tabernacle of David
The Tabernacle of David is being re-established in the House of Prayer. God has promised us in Acts 15, where James quotes the prophet Amos, " 'After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, so that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD, and all the Gentiles who are called by my Name,' says the LORD who makes these things known from long ago" (Acts 15:16, 17 & 18). The work of the establishment of the House of Prayer springing up today in cities and towns all over the world is a direct fulfillment of this promise. For more, browse our articles on The Tabernacle of David.

Good Thursday afternoon.Snow showers and squalls continue to cause issues across the state today. Several spots have already picked up a half to one inch and it snowed hard enough to cover roads for a time. That trend will continue through the afternoon.
An arctic cold front will sweep in here this evening into the overnight. This front will have a band of moderate to heavy snow along it. I'm looking at this setup and wondering if we can get some thundersnow out of it. There's a lot of lift on the nose of this front and that can sometimes spell thunder and lightning. Winds will also be very gusty and blowing and drifting snow is a good possibility.
Widespread 1″-2″ snows will accompany this band. Local amounts of 3″ will be possible.
A Winter Weather Advisory is now out for much of central and eastern Kentucky…
Additional snow showers and flurries will be possible on Friday as arctic air keeps temps in the high teens and low 20s.
More snow is likely over the weekend.
Have a great afternoon and take care.

Freshman elementary education majors taking the "Introduction to the Teaching Profession" course recently had the opportunity to gain hands-on teaching experience in the classroom, thanks to a partnership between Point Park University and Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania.
Point Park's education majors spent a day at Clara Barton Elementary School in West Mifflin, Pa., teaching kindergarten through third-grade students lessons on entrepreneurship, work readiness, financial literacy and the economics of life.
"Opportunities like this are very beneficial to education majors because it gives us an opportunity to get into the classroom, interact with students and see what a typical day would be like as a teacher," explained Stephanie Galbraith, a freshman Pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade education major. "My favorite part about teaching at Clara Barton was interacting with the students and hearing their responses to the questions asked during the lessons."
Galbraith taught first-graders at Clara Barton about the roles people play in the local economy and engaged students in activities about needs, wants, jobs tools, skills and interdependence.
"This was a great opportunity for our freshmen education majors to achieve credit hours," remarked Ken Mori, adjunct instructor and ABCTE coordinator for the education department. "All of our students came prepared and interacted very well with the children at Clara Barton."
Prior to teaching the elementary students at Clara Barton, Point Park's education majors received training on campus from Ashley Zahorchak, education program manager for Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania."This partnership not only provided our elementary students with the basic fundamentals of economics but it also allowed Point Park students to showcase their teaching ability. We look forward to continuing to work with the great students and staff at Point Park University to provide additional opportunities for school age youth of Western Pa," said Zahorchak.

Brown Urges Taxpayers to Avoid High-Cost Tax-Refund Loans
Oakland—With tax season quickly approaching, Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today urged Californians to avoid high-cost tax-refund-anticipation loans, which force taxpayers to "borrow their own money," include numerous fees and can carry triple-digit annual interest rates.
According to the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) and Consumer Federation of America (CFA), refund-anticipation loans cost 8.4 million American taxpayers more than $800 million in 2008.
"As tax season begins, hardworking Californians should avoid tax-refund-anticipation loans and any tax preparer who advertises these loans as early tax refunds," Brown said. "These loans carry steep interest rates and push taxpayers to borrow their own money instead of collecting their full refunds."
A refund-anticipation loan is a short-term loan secured by a taxpayer's anticipated income-tax refund. To obtain a tax-refund loan, taxpayers file electronically with a tax preparer who works directly with a bank to advance the refund as a loan— minus tax-preparation costs, a loan fee and other charges. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) then sends the taxpayer's full refund to the bank.
According to NCLC and CFA, loan fees can range from $34 to $130 and other add-ons alternately referred to as application, administrative, e-filing, service bureau, transmission, or processing fees can range from $25 to several hundred dollars.
Tax refunds are available at no charge from the IRS. Taxpayers who file electronically and have their refund directly deposited by the IRS into their bank account will usually have their refunds in 8-15 days.
According to the IRS, refund-anticipation lenders often target low-income taxpayers, especially those who receive the Earned Income Tax Credit. Brown urges taxpayers who are considering tax-refund-anticipation loans to take advantage of the IRS's support programs. These include:
• The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) Program, which offers free tax help to low to moderate-income people and members of the armed services; and
• The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program, which provides free tax help to people aged 60 and older.
More information on these programs is available at: www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html.
Some taxpayers may also qualify for free federal income-tax preparation and electronic filing through the Free File program, a partnership between the IRS and the Free File Alliance LLC, a group of private sector tax software companies. More information is available at: www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html.
Taxpayers can also locate their nearest free tax service by calling the IRS at: 1-800-829-1040.
Over the past year, Brown has taken strong action to stop tax preparers from engaging in deceptive marketing of refund-anticipation loans:
• In June 2009, Brown won a $1.3 million lawsuit against Liberty Tax Service that bars the company from using false or misleading advertising to sell tax-refund loans.
• In January 2009, Brown secured a $4.85 million settlement with H&R Block that prohibits the company from marketing refund-anticipation loans as early tax refunds.

Welcome to the worst day of your life. Rumors have been swirling for some time now that True Blood actor/proof the world isn't all bad Alexander Skarsgard and Juno/Inception actress Ellen Page are an "item," but sh*t just got really real: The couple was spotted arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (returning home after the premiere of their film, The East, at SXSW), and Skarsgard was apparently carrying Page's suitcase. Lugging around the girl's luggage, for Pete's sake! Does Alexander Skarsgard not realize he's a Viking god amongst men?!
Okay, fine -- actually, I'm not surprised to hear about Skarsgard doing something so sweet and chivalrous (see above comment regarding "god amongst men"). But I am, however, DEVASTATED to hear about Skarsgard and Page being all couple-y in public. Let an international day of mourning be declared!!
No, I'm not being overdramatic. Nor is this a case of so-called sour grapes. See, I'm not even gonna pretend to be happy for these two because the relationship is a full-on BAD IDEA. Why?
- First of all, Ellen Page is not me is way too young for Alexander Skarsgard. She's 26! He's 36! (Hey, SO AM I!!!)
- Alexander Skarsgard is 6'4" -- and Ellen Page is 5'1"!!! That's just crazy-talk. He's over a foot taller than she is!
- And as if those reasons weren't enough, Skarsgard is a Virgo. Page is a Pisces. EVERYBODY knows that Virgo men and Pisces women don't mix.
And so I'm hopingafraid it's only a matter of time before this love connection breaks. Skarsgard will bounce back, to be sure. But Page? She's never, ever gonna find a man who lives up to Skarsgard standards. Might as well join the convent, honey.
Do you think Alexander Skarsgard and Ellen Page make a good couple?

Responsibilityprevious next
Also: Accountability, Duty
Responsibility means ownership: owning what needs doing and accepting blame when we cause problems. Responsibility also means committing ourselves – to lead, to create, to solve problems—and then following through. It involves taking risks and working hard. Being responsible can be daunting but also rewarding.
Rights and responsibilities are two sides of the same coin; when we have power or resources, we have responsibility to use them well. When new resources or technologies present us with new options, they present us with new responsibilities.
It is important to be aware of where our responsibilities end and where the responsibilities of other begin. We must let others be responsible for their own challenges if they are to grow.

Tigers' next big move may be locking up Scherzer
DETROIT -- For most teams, the cold winter weeks between the holiday season and Spring Training are the time to wrap up loose ends and find a bargain or two. For the Tigers, though, January has been more like holiday shopping.
As the calendar flips to 2014 and free agency offers more remnants and fewer stars than in past years, however, the Tigers appear more likely to shuffle smaller pieces and make minor tweaks. If there's a big deal left in Detroit this winter, it's more likely to keep a player, not add one.
DETROIT -- For most teams, the cold winter weeks between the holiday season and Spring Training are the time to wrap up loose ends and find a bargain or two. For the Tigers, though, January has been more like holiday shopping.
As the calendar flips to 2014 and free agency offers more remnants and fewer stars than in past years, however, the Tigers appear more likely to shuffle smaller pieces and make minor tweaks. If there's a big deal left in Detroit this winter, it's more likely to keep a player, not add one.
The Tigers fueled their rebirth a decade ago on the strength of post-holiday signings. They traded for Carlos Guillen just after the holidays in 2004 when the Mariners' signing of Rich Aurilia made him expendable. Their courtship with Ivan Rodriguez, the last free agent left on that year's market, was just picking up.
Rodriguez's deal just before Spring Training not only changed the direction of the franchise, it set a trend. Detroit followed the same formula a year later by grabbing Magglio Ordonez after losing out on several other free agents earlier that offseason. In 2010, the supposedly retooling Tigers changed course after Christmas, filled their closer need with Jose Valverde in mid-January and added a veteran hitter in Johnny Damon six weeks later. Two years ago, owner Mike Ilitch responded to news of Victor Martinez's devastating knee injury by authorizing a nine-year megadeal for free agent Prince Fielder that stunned baseball on the tail end of the Hot Stove season once again.
For the Tigers' well deserved reputation as a big market club, few teams have worked the balance of supply and demand on the market over the years better, the Damon and Fielder deals notwithstanding. This isn't necessarily the kind of market to leverage that way, not with so many top free agents already signed. It is, however, a market with useful pieces still available, notably on the bullpen end with Fernando Rodney and Grant Balfour still looking for closing jobs.
Whether the Tigers would add another reliever is another question. Team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski indicated a couple of weeks ago that Joba Chamberlain filled their remaining bullpen need, providing support for hard-throwing sophomore setup man Bruce Rondon. However, Dombrowski never openly expressed a pursuit of a closer four winters ago until Valverde signed in mid-January. The number of teams potentially seeking relief help, however, suggests this market won't slant quite so strongly toward Detroit.
For the Tigers, a better template for this late offseason might be the last one. Their lone significant free-agent signing last January was a one-year deal with utilityman Don Kelly, who took a Minor League contract to return to Detroit, earned a spot on the 25-man roster and stayed there all year. Their most important contract talks, however, laid the foundation for the contract extension Justin Verlander signed at the end of Spring Training.
Detroit has a slew of players within two years of free agency, normally the time frame when teams consider long-term extensions. It's generally the balancing point when teams can offer players long-term security and players are far enough away from the open market to seriously consider an offer. Their most pressing situations, Max Scherzer and Miguel Cabrera, are in differing spots.
The timetable is different on Scherzer, who could file for free agency this fall. Verlander's contract situation dominated discussions last winter, and Verlander's extension seemingly sealed Scherzer's fate. Then Scherzer turned in a Cy Young Award-winning season that topped Verlander's numbers.
Scherzer's season presents an intriguing contract situation immediately, long-term deal or no. The 29-year-old right-hander is eligible for arbitration one more time, which puts him in line for a substantial raise from the $6.725 million deal agent Scott Boras negotiated to avoid arbitration last winter.
Eligible players can file for arbitration on Jan. 14, with teams and players exchanging salary offers three days later. If the two sides can't agree on a deal, a hearing before an arbitrator would take place in February. Scherzer and the Tigers didn't come to an agreement last year until early February, just ahead of a hearing. No Tigers player has gone to an arbitration ruling since Dave Dombrowski took over as general manager in 2002, but Scherzer is among those who have come the closest.
The Tigers' history under Dombrowski suggests they'll try to avoid arbitration before delving too deeply into long-term talks, though in some cases over the years the two have gone in hand-in-hand. A one-year extension could then be factored into a longer-term deal if the two sides can reach one.
The timeline is somewhat less urgent on Cabrera, who has two years left on the eight-year, $152 million contract he reached during Spring Training in 2008. Cabrera's importance to the Tigers, however, makes his situation vital, as his back-to-back MVP Awards reflect.
When Cabrera signed his current contract, he was two years away from free agency. But then, the Tigers wouldn't have traded six prospects for Cabrera if they weren't confident about signing him long term a few months later.
Unlike Scherzer and others, Cabrera doesn't have to worry about arbitration. His base salary is set at $22 million this season and next, not including awards incentives. That, however, doesn't make his potential extension any easier, especially after the 10-year, $240 million contract Robinson Cano signed with Seattle last month.

There's no doubt about it: leather pants are in stores and on celebs this season, making them a must-try look. Leather pants give off that edgy vibe and when paired with the right top, can make ladies stand out.
Think leather pants aren't for you? Think again. I know the word "leather" can send a lot of ladies running, filled with thoughts of sweaty rock stars in equally sweaty pants. Yuck. "Leather" can make us feel like we've got to be rail thin to sport the look. And for many animal-friendly fashionistas, leather is just a no-no. Ladies, I hear ya. But leather pants can be worn.
Here are some tips on how to wear leather pants (all faux leather, by the way) without looking like a groupie.
Style Tips on How to Wear Leather Pants in Style
1. Go faux: Real leather is well, real leather. That means it's pricy which won't make you happy with your bank account. Faux leather pants look like the real deal, are more affordable and are a great option for animal-lovin' ladies. Perfect!
2. Wear Color: Leather pants need not be "I'm in a rock band" black to look cool. Ditch the dark and make your style pop with a dose of color. Black is so expected. Change it up.
3. Resist the Leather=Tight Idea: Tight leather pants may have been the thing for 80's hair bands, but in the real world, most ladies aren't about to step out like they're in a Whitesnake video. (Yes, I'm well aware I'm dating myself). Too tight leather pants, or anything for that matter, is uncomfortable and looks silly. Find a pair that fits right for your body and you'll be one stylin' fashionista.
4. Break Things Up: Just because you found the perfect pair of leather pants doesn't mean you have to show your excitement with matching leather tops and leather accessories. You're heading out for a night out, not attending Bat Woman tryouts. Instead of getting into head-to-toe leather mode, temper your shiny legs with a loose cotton sweater or go for some leather 'n lace mod/fem contrast by paring the pants with a girly blouse.
5. Ease into It: If the idea of leather pants intrigues you, but full leather from hip to ankle is too much, break into it slowly. Try wearing pants with leather on the front leg only or head out in ones with a side-stripe of leather. Baby steps, conservative fashionista!
Faux Leather Pants we Love
Ladies, what are your thoughts on leather pants?

Sen. Frank Ginn (District 47) said Friday afternoon that after re-reading SB159 — legislation that would slam the door on any public meetings or records related to an "economic development project"— he would not support the current version of the proposed bill.
Sen. Ginn said that the bill as written is too broad and needs to be amended.
His main concern with economic development projects, he said, was that since the current law doesn't allow a government group to meet together with company representatives, those representatives tend to meet one-on-one with officials, often manipulating them into agreeing to a deal that may not be good.
"The dynamics of the group are different," he said.
Still, Sen. Ginn said the bill as written was not good and that he won't support the current version. He has contacted the main sponsor of the legislation to see about getting some changes made, he said.
Ginn backs off secrecy bill as drawn; says changes needed

Wabash Mourns the Passing of Aronno Haque• January 2, 2014 Share:
Wabash College mourns the passing of Aronno Haque, a 22-year-old international student, who passed away in New York City on January 1, 2014.

Anyway, I thought I'd finally dive back into Nev's "20 Days of Gold Making" topics. Why, then, did I skip from day number 2 to day number 4? Well, first of all, day number 3's question is about strategies when first starting out, which I plan on discussing further when I get into some "Back to Basics" sort of posts. Secondly, I had a...learning experience today that related to day 4's question.
So, without further delay...
4. Do you use a banker alt/guild? When did you start doing that & why?
When I first started out, I used my main, my Druid, as a banker. I had things down to a general process, for each day, which would go something like this:
- Use any daily cooldowns on crafting alts
- Check Druid's mail
- Post anything that had expired
- Queue up the various professions' Restock queues in TSM
- Shop for all the mats
- Send the mats off to the various crafting alts
- Hop onto each crafting alt and do the actual crafting
- Mail everything back to the Druid
- Have the Druid post everything
That actually wasn't as much work as it seems. Steps 6 and 8 were also made much easier than they would otherwise be by the use of TSM Mailing. Still, not everything was perfect there. Step 6 in particular became much more complicated when two of my crafting alts needed the same mat. Herbs, ore, and especially the various Volatiles (thankfully gone in MoP) were common offenders there. I couldn't set TSM Mailing up to mail some of an item to one alt and some to another. (At least as far as I know. If anyone knows differently, please let me know.)
The other problem was the sheer amount of mail for the Druid to sort through in steps 2 and 8. Postal helped with that, of course, but bag space was still an issue, not to mention that only 50 items can be displayed in the mail at once. I would spend very long stretches of time going between long stints of mail opening and long post scans on TSM.
In addition, the fact that my Druid was the one with 99% of the gold wasn't ideal. The crafting alts may not have been really interacting with the Auction House at all, but many of them still needed vendor mats. Most notable was my Jewelcrafter. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Jeweler's Settings add up, and the vendor value of cut Zephyrites wasn't cutting it. Having to send more gold his way every so often was a bit of a pain.
There were other, more subjective problems with the arrangement, as well. Most notably, I just felt like I was spending so much time hopping between characters as opposed to how much time I was spending actually doing something. Granted, this was before I got my first solid state drive, so load times were longer, but the feeling likely would have been there regardless.
All in all, I like the way I do things now better. Almost everything is handled on the character that crafts it. Mats a character acquires that they have no use for (like cloth on anyone but my tailor) gets sent off to the appropriate characters, but otherwise, each character is mostly independent. Each handles his or her own mail, buying, crafting, selling, etc.
Honestly, it solves most of the problems of the other method quite well. Each character's mail load remains relatively small (except my Scribe, but that's the nature of that profession, really). I have TSM set to not count any other character's inventory, so it doesn't matter that, say, my Scribe and my Alchemist both have herbs. Each character handles their own gold, and is thus quite unlikely to go broke. (In fact, it often makes it much easier to get an at-a-glance idea of whether a segment of the business is profitable.) I probably spend about the same amount of time "toon hopping", but it feels like less, because I'm stopping and doing quite a bit between each hop.
It should be noted, however, that this system is not without its drawbacks. Unfortunately, I discovered one of them the hard way today. In cases where you just plain get very busy for a while, it can be surprisingly easy to leave a character alone for too long.
Under the current system, I'll start at the top of my list of characters, finish all of that person's crafting and posting needs, then move on to the next. Time has been limited lately, so I haven't always been making it all the way down the list. Still, I'd start from the top each day. I figured there would be so little needing to be done on those characters near the top that I'd still make my way down the list in good time.
I was corrected today, when I finally logged onto my Death Knight, who happens to be my Tailor and Enchanter. All of the greens I had sent from my Jewelcrafter recently were there in his mailbox...but nothing else was. It took me a while to realize what had happened, but finally, I figured it out. It had actually been more than 30 days since the last time I had logged onto that character to check his mail. As a result, every single mail message, whether it be gold from auctions that had sold, or items from auctions that had expired, was gone.
The tailoring stock wasn't a big deal. Cloth is still dirt cheap, for the most part, so I was able to restock fairly easily. Enchanting was another matter entirely. I don't exactly mass produce the high-end weapon and bracer enchants, since they're fairly slow sellers, comparatively. I usually only keep 3 of each in stock. Still, restocking those all at once meant needing almost 150 Sha Crystals, which are currently running between 200 and 300 gold each on my server. I was honestly tempted to wait until 5.4, when they would be much easier to mass produce (more on that in a future post), but ultimately, I decided to take the chance at profit now, particularly since we have no idea when 5.4 will actually go live.
Was it something I could afford? Yes, of course. Was it something I was happy about? Absolutely not!
Still, there's nothing to be done for it now. No amount of fretting will magically bring back what was lost. I just have to move forward and take it for what it is: a learning experience.

Specifically, candidate Melinda Katz brought up Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
"Marty's done a very good job of it," Katz was quoted as saying. "Marty took what Brooklyn has to offer and made it clear when tourists are coming to New York City, there's plenty there. Queens has even more to offer, to be honest."
Whoa, Ms. Katz – Marty may be on the diminutive side, but filling his shoes is a tall order. He's pretty much a tireless advocate who is more than willing to poke fun at himself for his over-the-top Brooklyn boosterism in an effort to promote the borough, which in a way is its own sort of "cool." In other words, Marty don't give a...well, let's just say he's too cool to care what people think.
Now, we know that Melinda Katz is cool and a very talented singer, as well. We've often seen her grab a microphone and belt out the National Anthem, a Broadway hit or a Christmas carol. But we're not sure how much panache that holds with the young jet-setting crowd the borough is looking to attract.
For example, are you aware that at a playground renaming for the late rapper and member of the Beastie Boys, Adam "MCA" Yauch, Markowitz actually busted out some rhymes? Now, we're not going to sit here and try to convince you that Markowitz has mad skillz (sp?) or anything, but in the hip world of deep-pocketed tourists: Rap>Outer-Borough Off-Broadway, FWIW.
Which is our way of saying we think it would be a good idea if Katz rapped a little bit at the next borough president candidates' forum, or perhaps as part of her duties as grand marshal of the Forest Hills Memorial Day Parade on May 26? Just a little bit for Pol Position!

NEW YORK, July 9 (UPI) -- Rapper and actor Mos Def allowed himself to be force-fed to spotlight the treatment of hunger strikers at the U.S. military lockup in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The New York Daily News said the Brooklyn-born artist, who is also known by the name Yasiin Bey, joined with the human-rights group Reprieve to demonstrate what the hunger strikers are enduring.
The demonstration, which shows the 39-year-old performer restrained with a feeding tube inserted up his nose, had been viewed nearly 400,000 times from the time it was posted by The Guardian newspaper on YouTube Monday until Tuesday morning.
"This is me. Please stop. I can't do it," the Daily News quoted Bey as pleading through tears after the tube comes out and is about to be replaced. The person administering the feeding tube complies with his request.
The Daily News said 45 of the 106 participants in the Guantanamo Bay hunger strike are being fed this way due to weight loss. The detainees have been protesting since February the handling of their Korans during prison cell searches.
The newspaper said the Pentagon has insisted the force-feeding practice is humane and necessary for the detainees' survival, while human-rights activists have categorized it as torture.

Smash hits: Winners of 10th European Border Breakers Awards unveiled
The winners of the 2013 European Border Breakers Awards, celebrating the top new talents in European pop music, were announced today by Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, and the European music festival Eurosonic Noorderslag.
The winners of the 2013 awards, who have achieved success beyond their home country with their first international release, are:
"Music is a universal language that touches billions of people, regardless of nationality or background. Our winners all have talent and energy to spare, as well as that 'X-factor' which gives their music border-breaking appeal with fans in different countries. I hope the awards inspire other artists to think big and break into new markets," said Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.
To be eligible for the awards, the artists must have enjoyed border-breaking success with their first international release in Europe between 1 August 2011 and 31 July 2012. The winners are selected by music market analyst Nielsen Music Control on the basis of record sales and broadcast frequency and according to votes by European Broadcasting Union (EBU) radio stations and festivals participating in the European Talent Exchange Program (ETEP).
The winners will receive their awards in a televised ceremony hosted by TV personality and musician Jools Holland at the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival in Groningen, Netherlands, on 9 January 2013. The ceremony – including performances by the winning acts – will be broadcast by Dutch National Television (NTR) and will also receive European coverage through TV channels and radio stations.
One of the winners will also receive a 'Public Choice Award'. From 1 November until December 21 the public can vote for their favourite artist on www.ebba-awards.eu. By voting, they could win a trip to the award ceremony.
Former winners of the 'EBBA Awards' include Adele, The Baseballs, The Dø, KT Tunstall, Tokio Hotel, The Ting Tings, Lykke Li, The Scripts, Milow, Katie Melua, Mumford and Sons, Selah Sue, Swedish House Mafia and Caro Emerald.
Now in their tenth year, the awards are funded by the EU Culture Programme and organized by Eurosonic Noorderslag, in partnership with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The awards are supported by Buma Cultuur, SNN, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Province of Groningen, City of Groningen and European Music Office.
Eurosonic Noorderslag is Europe's biggest music conference and showcase festival, aiming to encourage the distribution of European music.

I'm having trouble finding a forum anywhere dedicated to this kind of thing, but this seems like a good place to ask...
I have a 1985 GMC S-15 (better known to many as a Chevy S-10 or GMC Sonoma) here which is no longer street-legal and not worth fixing. What I am planning to do is strip the truck down, leaving only the frame, rear bumper, rear axle/diff/springs/tires, and use the frame to build a specialized flatbed trailer.
I am hoping someone has done something like this and can give me some tips, or at least warn me of some caveats. I primarily have concerns about the weight capacity of the single axle (albeit the truck originally weighed 3,000lb with a 1,700lb payload, so it should hold 2,500lb easily enough!), and the stability of what will be a relatively high deck. The frame is primarily 4" C-channel steel (3/16" or 1/4" thick), going up to 5" on the lower part. If I keep the solid rear bumper mounts and cut the frame just ahead of the driver's door, I will have nearly a 12' section of frame with the rear axle being 4' from the rear (creating a nice 60/40 weight split). (see hand-drawn with measurements and GM's schematic)
First off, to get any decent width, I have to build the deck over the tires. This is more or less required anyway, as the top of the frame at the rear is level to the top of the tires. I presume I would need to leave at least 5" clearance over the tire, which puts the top of my deck at 32" off the ground, which seems a little high to me. The really unusual bit for a trailer, obviously, is the 1' drop and the narrow wheelbase (62" wide). I have three plans in mind, still weighing the pros and cons of each:
- Option 1 is to build a solid flatdeck 32" off the ground, with sheet metal toolboxes underneath (built on the low section of the frame). The flatdeck would be built from 1 1/2" x 1/8" angle steel, and plain ol' 2x lumber.
- Option 2 is to build a dual-level flatdeck. Upper section 6' long, lower section 5' long. The lower section would likely be built with drop-down doors. The front of the trailer (partially on the tongue) would have a steel toolbox built, with a ledge at a height equal to the rear deck, allowing a 6' panels made from 2x to be dropped over the low section (creating one long 12' deck). I like this option, as it creates a 20" deep lower section with sides where I can easily throw garbage and such when on the job, and not worry about it blowing away on the road. Also a place to put smaller things (tools, nails, etc) when hauling long lumber on top.
- Option 3 is to build either Option 1 or Option 2, but make the rear portion of the deck hinged at the rear and latched down as a dumping deck. This would require building removable walls and a removable rear door (something I might have done anyway for use as a general utility trailer), and adding a mount underneath inside the frame for a ram of some kind (or a 4' jack-all until I can afford a ram!).
Excluding the toolboxes (which I would probably add later to save money now, or temporarily build from plywood other than structural bits), option 1 is the cheapest at about $450 in material, including 1 1/2" angle, lumber, 4" tube steel for building the tongue, the hitch, and assorted other bits (safety chain, marker lights, etc). Option 2 comes in at about $600, and option 3 adds about $200 (excluding the ram). All of these are much cheaper than $2,000 for a single-axle, 12' x 7' flatbed with no walls or toolboxes!
Other planned little bits:
- I plan to leave the diff and U-bolt in place to keep the oil inside, rather than trying to strip the gears out. It's just easier, and I'm lazy. I am also considering leaving the rear brakes in place so that I can hook up a handle to the E-brake cable and engage it from the front. Reason for this is I will often be handling the trailer alone, and on even slight slopes it can be difficult to get the trailer in position then rush to get blocks under the wheels. I figure it should be safe to leave them in, so long as I remove the shoes to prevent anything strange happening. (Unless the brake shoes are also what engage the e-brake? can't remember...)
- I will be re-using the S-15's taillights as well as some other detail bits, just to add a touch of cool. I would also like to mount the old headlights under the front corners of the trailer (facing backwards) to provide me with some surround-floodlight at night while reversing (as I often am working at night). However, the standard 4-pin trailer connector does not include wiring for reverse lights - any suggestions?
- I might need to replace the aging springs. A 1,200lb load of 14' 2x10's in the back of the old pickup would drop the rear bumper about 8" (albeit about 80% of that weight was behind the rear axle). If I hit the Pick-N-Pull, how can I evaluate replacement springs? I know there are trucks there that have not been loaded and abused nearly as much as mine.
- If the 32" high deck over the narrow 62" wheelbase creates a substantial stability risk, what are my options? Best I can think of is to mount the existing axle lower with smaller tires (current tires are 25" high), or get a proper trailer axle with really small tires. Either would let me drop the deck to 26" high. But by the time I hit that expense, I might as well not be using the truck frame, I won't save anything...
Well, that's all. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Bear in mind the prices I quote are Canadian, and the cheapest (new) trailer I can get is a crappy little 4x6' with a 1,000lb capacity for about $800.00. A half-way decent 12x7 is around $2,000.00. The load capacity for my S-15 was around 1,700lb; but that was also with a 3,000lb truck attached. I'm guessing that 75% of that 3,000 bore on the front axle, with the engine and some of the cab weight, so that leaves the rear end with a potential capacity of 2,500lb, although I would likely never put that much weight on it.
The laws here allow me to register a home-built trailer ("UBUILT" make) with a capacity up to 2,500lb with no inspection, so long as I promise that it is safe and has taillights (if necessary) and basic necessities (ie. safety chain). Over that and I need inspection for meeting codes, brakes, etc.
Big truck. I have a 2010 Ford Ranger V6 SuperCab, I guess that doesn't count? :P I could borrow my neighbor's tow vehicle, a big old '82 quad-cab long-box Chevy with a big old V8 in it. He uses it to haul his 24' car trailer and his 28' utility trailer. (He's a racer)
Leave a comment:
I'm not a big fan because of the high loading height. There are plenty of plans on the internet to make a low low deck trailer including ramp to load things.
The big negative on using a truck bed as a trailer is the high center of gravity. Careful how you load it. Since you have already set the axle, the only real question is how far out the tongue should go. Usually the longer the better.
Most trailers don't have shocks on them. The shocks should actually help control some forms of sway. The first time you pull it, make sure you have a big truck pulling. If it does start to sway at high speeds you will be glad to have all the mass. Rule of thumb 5-10% of the weight needs to be on the tongue. With the high center of gravity I would be closer to 10%.
As for the brakes. Check your local laws. Once a trailer gets up to a certain weight you will need brakes on the axle. I would highly recommend electric brakes - but by that time you might as well get a drop axle to go with it.
If you don't need brakes (remember your truck will have to stop the entire weight of the trailer) you can just leave the old drum brakes on. Drum brakes by their nature don't drag. If you do want to use the brakes as a parking brake, you will need the drums on there.
You will have to keep the center differential together. Inside the diff are C-clips which hold the axles in. You could remove the ring - or just grind down the pinion teeth to limit the drag.
With electric brakes, if something goes wrong, hit the lever in the cab and the trailer can slow the entire truck down (well, as long as you have a load on the trailer - unloaded the trailer might just bounce a bit).
As for load capability. The S-10 was probably rated somewhere around 1500lbs. I suspect you would be in the same ballpark. But just to compare, my little 4x8 trailer is also rated at 1500lbs and I think I got it from Home Depot for $450. Harbor Freight carries similar. The only thing I would wish is make the loading of sheet rock easier....

Re: Is there sutta basis for the modern bifurcation of jhanas?
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:04 am
You are suggesting that 'vipssana jhana ' or its scriptual equivalent was invented by Mahasia sayadaw or his group?tiltbillings wrote:retrofuturist wrote:Greetings,
It has been pointed out by some here that the vipassana jhana notions looks quite a bit more like the sutta notions of jhana than the commentarial notion of jhana, but the point is that to discuss vipassana jhana, which is something that arose out of the Mahasi Sayadaw tradition, .
Do you think in those long tracts and books where they refute the need for mundane jhana that Mahais et al were unaware of the What do you make of Buddhaghosa's summary in the Atthasalini, 'Fourfold
Jhana', PTS transl.
"Jhaana is twofold: that which (views or) examines closely the object
and that which examines closely the characteristic marks
[aaramma.nupanijjhaana~n ca lakkha.nupanijjhaana.m]. Of these
two, 'object-scrutinising' jhaana examines closely those devices [for
self-hypnosis]* as mental objects. Insight, the Path and Fruition are
called 'characteristics-examining jhaana.' Of these three, insight is
so called from its examining closely the characteristics of
impermanence, etc. Because the work to be done by insight is
accomplished through the Path, the Path is so called. And because
Fruition examines closely the Truth of cessation, and possesses the
characteristic of truth, it also is called 'characteristic-examining
Of course Mahasi knew about the very clear distinction made between mundane jhana - as in absorption - and the lakkha.nupanijjhaana. The suttas clearly talk about both at different times. BOTH are highly kusala , both have a great deal of insight.
U pandita talks about lakkha.nupanijjhaana as being 'the vipassana jhanas'- which is reasonable as at the very brief processes when (genuine) vipassana occurs is by definition lakkha.nupanijjhaana. Totally different from mundane jhanas, which the suttas also talk about.

arthritis, Banerjee, Carla Kienast, dr. burkhead, Humira, Osteoarthritis, replacement surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder impingement, Shoulder Surgery, Undifferentiated Spondylarthropathy, wayne burkhead, Williarm Tucker, Wm. Tucker
Well yesterday I saw my internist for my pre-op physical and general annual check up. No surprises there unless something comes back in the blood work.
This morning I went in for a follow-up visit with my rheumatologist. She was appalled that I've been off the Humira as long as I have. Ideally she wants her patients to be off for four (4) weeks before surgery then start again two (2) weeks after surgery if everything is healing and progressing like it should.
She was also concerned that Dr. Cheatum prescribed two Celebrex a day. She said I should be stopping the Celebrex any day now prior to the surgery and when I start back up again after surgery, she wants me to only take one. In the meantime she has prescribed some pain medication for me to take when I get of the Celebrex that won't interfere with any of the surgery stuff. I don't know that I'll take it. I'll probably stick with Tylenol. I have too much to get done to be dopey headed. But if I have problems sleeping or whatever, it'll be nice to have them.
I think I mentioned in an earlier post that my knees have been bothering me. When she examined me today, it was apparent that my right knee was swollen. She wanted to draw off some of the fluid then inject the knee. NOT! I guess it would have made my knee feel better over all, but I don't have the time to deal with it if it hurts due to the procedure. She offered to let me come in at any time before surgery and get my joint(s) injected and/or put me on a low dose of prednisone, although she's not real keen on the prednisone because it can interfere with healing. She's afraid that I'll have a flare being off the Humira and I don't doubt that she's right.
I still haven't gotten my head around this surgery. I know without a doubt that this is the right answer, but knowing and feeling it are two different things. They had to stick both arms yesterday just to do a simple blood draw for my physical. That just brings home how difficult it is to get an IV started in me and all those fears about the surgery came flooding back.
I called the surgeon's office today because I haven't gotten the disability paper work back so I can get paid while I'm off. They're going to get it to me later today (probably). I still haven't gotten my packet of information about the surgery and check-in procedures, so hopefully that will show up soon.
Tomorrow I go to Houston all day on business, so I'll get to beep through two new airports — Dallas Love and Houston Hobby. I can't imagine how many bells I'll set off when I have both the shoulder and the hip.
I expect things to be pretty quiet between now and surgery, but if anything new pops up, I'll update the blog.
Thanks for checking in.
