TRANSPORT COMPLETED TODAY! (8/12/09) A huge thank you to Eddy Huffman and Veterinarian Heidi Jahn of Racine, Wisconsin. Eddy and Heidi flew round trip today and Furbie is now in Milwaukee with Playing Again Sams Samoyed Rescue (PAS) of Milwaukee. We are pretty sure that Furbie has a new home already. In honor of his pilot, Furbie will be renamed Eddie. This was also Eddy's first mission for Pilots N Paws. A job well done, Eddy!! The morning started out with some fog, so Eddy's departure was delayed, but when the fog lifted, he and Heidi were on their way. Per Eddy, Furbie was a great flyer and eagerly jumped into his plane and went into the crate and was very quiet and peaceful the whole trip. At one point, Eddy asked Heidi what "he was doing" and she replied, "I think he's reading a book"! He also sat and looked out the window for a while. He was a natural flyer! I can't thank you enough for helping to save this beautiful boy's life and a big thank you to Maria with PAS for taking him into your rescue. You are all Angels! Below are photos of Furbie. He had been shaved a couple of weeks ago, due to having been neglected by his previous owner and was extremely matted. Let's all keep paws crossed that his coat grows back in by the time the snow falls.
Big Hug to all Involved.......Eddy and Heidi, Maria and Scott (from PAS), Mike (the Warden in Ottawa) and Dina (Pet Pals Rescue) in Ohio, and of course, this great website, that without, this probably would not have happened for Furbie.

When they clinched a playoff spot on Sunday afternoon in Long Island, most experts were quick to highlight the Senators players-only meeting back in October as a significant turning point of the season.
After losing a 7-2 game on home ice to the Philadelphia Flyers on October 18, the Senators were dead last in the NHL, having picked up just one victory in six games. The players had an extended meeting and turned things around, reeling off a six-game winning streak immediately thereafter.
But just ten days ago, there was another meeting that was equally important to the team making the playoffs this spring.

Philadelphia police say two men got into an argument that escalated into an exchange of gunfire. No one was injured but the incident forced the SWAT team to be called in and left a neighborhood rattled.
One of the two men who opened fire is a private security officer who happened to be wearing a bullet proof vest and carrying a gun.
"I was just passing him by. He was in the turning lane and he just started firing" said the man, who asked not to be identified.
The man says there was a close call when the two drivers merged into one lane near the corner of 13th and Melon Streets. He says he then saw a man start shooting so he returned fire.
"I fired my weapon in return after he fired at me multiple times. My vehicle was struck at least seven times" the man said.
His gold Mercury sedan was riddled with bullet holes.
The man told police he then chased the car to the 900 Block of Reno Place, where a man jumped out and ran into the Richard Allen public housing complex.
"He claims that he had been fired upon by a male who ran into one of the properties here," said Philadelphia police Chief Inspector Joseph Sullivan.
SWAT teams converged on the neighborhood for two hours, going door-to-door searching for the second gunman.
A dozen homes were evacuated, but no suspects were found. The show of police force had neighbors shaken.
"They said make everybody come out with their hands up. So I made everybody come out with their hands up. I said (to police) 'put the guns down they're kids. They're babies,'" said homeowner Gail Thomas.
Police eventually gave the all clear and residents returned to their homes.
Police sources tell FOX 29 the security guard, who works as a contracted officer at a local federal government building, will not be charged. They also say he has a concealed carry permit for a firearm.
Police are still interviewing witnesses and reviewing nearby surveillance video. Detectives believe they know the identity of the gunman.
Only on FOX: A man speaks out about an incident no one wants to see or experience.

Here's a trio for Tuesday. Three new interesting pro-audio related products. Number one we have Steinberg LoopMash. LoopMash mangles four loops. It's an iPhone App. I grabbed it and it has a pretty cool faux 3D swipe to different screen effect worth checking out. Years after abandoning Cubase I'm using a Steinberg product again. Number two is Mike. It's a microphone from Apogee that goes directing into your iOS device. It's from Apogee so it deserves mention. Convenience and AD/DA conversion wise it should be a winner however I'm all about high end mic pres and Mike can't use one. Number three we have SuperAnalog808 a Roland TR-808 sample pack from Goldbaby designed for Loopmasters. If you don't own a real 808 or Acidlab Miami then samples are your friend. Goldbaby does them right and there's a million suble differences between 808s and ways to record them so another sample set is always welcome.

In the decade since, the rise of Facebook has been good for a whole lot of people: Mark Zuckerberg, obviously, and your cousin who just had a baby, for another.
But there's one type of person who's truly made the site work for them – celebrities, who not only use the social network to speak directly to their fans but offer the outside world an intimate, unfiltered look at their lives, work and wisdom.
On the occasion of Facebook's 10th anniversary, here are the 10 celebs who deserve a place in your newsfeed.

Nearly five dozen former judges, prosecutors and other attorneys signed a letter this week criticizing the appointment of the Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney as special prosecutor in a decade-old capital murder case, and his decision to retry the defendant.
A Prince William County Circuit Court judge in September appointed Raymond Morrogh to prosecute the case during the retrial of Justin Wolfe, a Chantilly High School graduate, who was convicted over a decade ago for ordering the murder of his drug supplier, Daniel Petrole Jr., of Centreville. Wolfe's conviction was thrown out by a federal judge last year, and the vacation of his sentence was subsequently upheld by an appeals court. The courts also criticized Prince William County prosecutors for witholding evidence in the case.
The letter, which was dated Oct. 24, was addressed to Judge Mary Grace O'Brien and signed by 58 members of the legal community, including a former assistant commonwealth's attorney from Fairfax County. The signers said that Prince William County's top prosecutor, Paul Ebert, had an undue influence selecting Morrogh. Ebert was criticized by the courts for his work on the case and forced to recuse himself.
"As former judges, prosecutors, and other members of the legal community, we are deeply disturbed by the misconduct of prosecutors that led a jury to sentence Justin Wolfe to death," the letter reads. "We are equally troubled by the haste with which the newly appointed special prosecutor, Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney Raymond Morrogh, has decided to re-try Mr. Wolfe."
In a September court appearance, Morrogh said that he believed Wolfe was "was absolutely involved in this murder. He planned it and caused it to occur." In the same hearing, O'Brien, the judge, said Morrogh probably would have been her selection even if Ebert had not suggested it, due to his past experience and geographic proximity.
The letter sharply criticized Morrogh's decision to retry Wolfe, and suggested that he was influenced by his connections with Ebert, who has endorsed his campaign for commonwealth's attorney.
"Unfortunately, less than 24 hours after his appointment, Mr. Morrogh announced his intention to retry Wolfe. This suggests a hurried decision in which the special prosecutor did not carefully examine the evidence to reach an independent conclusion about the case, but instead relied on the earlier deliberation of the Prince William County prosecutors—prosecutors who were responsible for the misconduct and errors in judgement that left Mr. Wolfe on death row for more than a decade," the letter reads.
Pre-trial motions in the Wolfe case continue next week.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall is a stand-alone system dedicated to running programs that filter out spam and viruses from our email. All email arriving at UTPA first passes through this filter. A variety of methods are used to test email. First, the email is compared to a "blacklist" of known spammers. Most spam originates from a relatively small number of hard-core spammers, and many of their email servers are tracked by anti-spam services, who publish these blacklists. Similarly, most spammers send the same message to millions of recipients making it possible to "fingerprint" bulk mailings and then test our incoming email against that fingerprint. Finally, and most powerfully, the system employs Bayesian statistical analysis of every recipient's own email to distinguish good email from bad. The system will actually learn the difference between your own personal valid email and your spam. Every piece of incoming email is assigned a score based on these tests. Email assigned exceptionally high scores is certainly spam and is "blocked", that is, it is simply deleted. Email that is probably, but not certainly, spam is saved, but "quarantined" on the spam filter. The remaining email is probably all valid and is passed on to the email server for delivery.
Yes. Forward the Spam email to the following address. email@example.com. If you receive an email that you believe is extremely malicious, such as a phishing email asking for your username and password, please forward the email to email@example.com.
Your username and password on the Barracuda spam filtering system is always your UTPA email address (firstname.lastname@example.com) and password. If you have forgotten your UTPA email username and/or password please call the UTPA IT Helpdesk at (956) 665-2020 for prompt assistance.
The address for the Barracuda Spam Filter is https://barracuda.utpa.edu
Yes. You can log into Barracuda at any time from any computer online by visiting the following link: https://barracuda.utpa.edu
No. We have configured the filter such that only the worst sorts of spam are "blocked" and deleted at the filter. All other questionable email is "quarantined" for your review. No legitimate email should be blocked. The real question is whether there is good email being quarantined. By default, you will receive one notification a day if there is any spam mail that was blocked. You may change this to a weekly notification (or turn it off altogether). When you visit the filter's web page, you may see some good email quarantined. If you do, check the box in front of the message and press the "Not Spam" button (as described above), this will help train the system. Then, press the "Deliver" button and the email will be delivered to your inbox.
If you responded to a phishing e-mail that asked for your account password, please change your password immediately at www.utpa.edu/password. IT Staff will never ask you for a password over the phone or by e-mail. After you change your password please report the incident to the Help Desk and forward the message you received to email@example.com.
New students can activate their account by visiting our Self-Service page at http://myaccount.utpa.edu. New employees must stop by the IT Service Desk with a picture ID in order to get a password for their accounts.
Go to http://www.utpa.edu/broncmail and login with your email@example.com and your UTPA password.
Yes, first you must fill out a UIC form and turn it in to the distribution window in the Computer Center. Once the form is processed, you will receive an e-mail confirming your access to the account. You can find instructions on the following support pages:
You need to be a current student, staff, or faculty and use your UTPA username and password to connect to the network. To set it up, you can connect to the "UTPA-Setup" network, and follow on-screen instructions. Older wireless cards (802.11 a/b) are no longer supported.
Operating system: Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.4.11 or newer; Wireless card: Must support 802.11 g/n.
A guest account must be requested by the department hosting the guest on campus. Please contact us at 956-665-2020 for more information.
The instructions for finding and removing large emails are different based on the Operating System and the version of Outlook client that you are using. Please select the appropriate link below.
Instructions for configuring different email clients after your mailbox has been migrated to Office 365 are provided below.
Microsoft Lync lets you connect with others through instant messaging (IM), video calls, and online meetings. Below are quick start guides for getting Lync setup on desktop or mobile devices. You can also use the recommended audio and video equipment guide to help you get started.

Posting signs on public rights-of-way such as highways had become a pesky common practice that annoyed both residents and county officials. But legislation drawn up by Del. Dave Albo (R-42) took care of the problem, making all political signs illegal if they're on public property.
Albo's bill also amended part of Virginia state code that created a loophole specific to Fairfax County, making it unlawful to remove signs from public rights-of-way until three days after an election.
But under new law, the county can now form an agreement with the Virginia Department of Transportation to remove the signs.
The Board of Supervisors has yet to vote on such an agreement, but Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield) has been vocal about establishing a funding structure for a program to remove illegal signs and fine violators. Herrity told Patch the agreement should come before the Board sometime this December.
"Signs placed in the median are really a blight on our community," he said. "They can be dangerous and they're illegal."
And residents are pleased that the medians have stayed sign-free during the 2012 election season.
"Just about everyone I've talked to has been ecstatic that they didn't have to look at the signs in the median this elections season," Herrity said.
He also stressed that the law didn't just pertain to political signs, but to all signs.
VDOT has already handed out hundreds of dollars in fines to different vendors who have failed to comply with the law, Herrity said, thanking the Commonwealth for helping to keep medians clear.
Campaign signs, political advertisements and other signs are still legal if they're kept on private property, such as homes and lawns. Some restrictions do apply, in accordance with the county's sign ordinance. Click here for more information.
Residents who see signs of any kind on public medians should call the Virginia Department of Transportation at 703-383-8368.

I would definitely not go Bose. Their headphones sound muddy.
The Skull Candy headphones are absolutely jokes as well.
For second hand market items, beats are a pretty reasonable purchase if you're looking for pros.
But like freshsteez said, aint no audiophiles posting on this thread. If you knew you'd be listing Grado, Sennheiser (the higher end cans), Audio-Technica (M150's are pretty hi-fi standards), or Beyerdynamics (the 770's are music studio staples alongside the Sonys and Ultrasones).

Birmingham made a big statement on the Metro Detroit dining scene in 2012, after two of the city's newest eateries made the Detroit Free Press top 10 list of the best new restaurants in Metro Detroit.
Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse and Social Kitchen & Bar joined restaurants from Berkley, Southfield, Ferndale, Plymouth, Bloomfield Township, Detroit and Ann Arbor in this year's list of the region's best new eateries, made of up resturants that opened between Dec. 1, 2011 and Dec. 1, 2012.
According to Free Press food critic Sylvia Rector, when Hyde Park Steakhouse opened, they made sure it was all about the steak.
"If steakhouses were 'in' this year, Hyde Park was in all the way," Rector writes. "It features more than 20 steak entrees of various cuts, weights, garnishes, ages and types."
"Yes, it's a chain — from Ohio, no less," she adds. "But here's why it makes our list: When you want the pure, unapologetic excess of the steakhouse experience, this place has it all ... The night you want to go big or go home, Hyde Park fits the bill."
Hyde Park, Birmingham's third steakhouse, opened in early June, moving into the old Forte location on South Old Woodward, later expanding into the former Zuma Coffee House spot next door.
"We do our own thing," Hyde Park's co-founder Joe Saccone told Patch before Hyde Park's opening in November 2011.
Also making the list is one of Birmingham's newest bistros, Social Kitchen & Bar, owned by Executive Chef Zack Sklar. The East Maple Road eatery opened on June 21 and with a rooftop dining deck and tables in the adjoining alley, Social Kitchen features a menu that takes an upscale twist on classic American cuisine.
According to the Free Press review, Social Kitchen was "mobbed from day one."
"There's still a wait, but things have smoothed out, and the all-from-scratch kitchen has hit its stride," Rector notes. "Much of Sklar's 'refined comfort food,' as he calls it, can sound like everyday stuff on the menu, but it nearly always exceeds expectations on the plate."
Also making the list is Bloomfield Township's Roadside B&G at 1727 S. Telegraph. The retrofitted roadhouse is owned by Birmingham restauranteur Bill Roberts, owner of Streetside Seafood.
Birmingham is no stranger to the Free Press's annual list. Last year, Bella Piatti and Townhouse were named to the 2011 top 10 list of new restaurants.

Federica Mogherini – Italy's scapegoat
Profile of Italy's foreign minister whose bid to succeed Catherine Ashton as the EU's high representative has caused much controversy.
Even for a politician who has built a career around delivering grace under pressure, the intensity of the campaign against Federica Mogherini mounted over the past few weeks will have been unsettling. The youngest foreign minister in Italy's republican history has been attacked for her politics (too left-wing), her views on Ukraine (too pro-Russian), her CV (too thin) and even the writing style on her blog (too naïve).

In the debate over gun control, as shown through Piers Morgan's interview with Alex Jones on CNN this week, I declare the winner -- Alex Jones.
And Piers Morgan. And CNN. And heck, even gun control advocates and gun enthusiasts.
While much of the even-tempered world was witnessing Morgan passively attempt to regain control of his interview with Jones as the conservative radio host unraveled in front of the camera lens, Jones' ilk were surely galvanized, gun control advocates felt validated and bloggers salivated (including yours truly) over the "did you see that?" nature of the entire exchange.

Gain Experience
The idea of gaining "experience" can take many forms while you are at a university. The most well-known are those that relate directly to a career path you are targeting or considering such as internships or clinical practicum and rotations. But there are also other ways for you to gain experience that employers and graduate programs find valuable – volunteering, participating in research projects, joining clubs and organizations, and more!
Whether it is for pay or not, for academic credit or not, or directly related to your career, every experience is an opportunity for you to learn more about yourself, gain new knowledge and transferrable skills that could be leverage in just about all career functions. These become the resume builders that will provide you the competitive advantage when targeting your full time job or graduate program. Studies have shown that the more experience you gain before entering the job market, the faster your job search will be!
Take a moment to learn about the opportunities that UNCG provides you and talk to a Career Team member about how you could market those skills, experience, and knowledge.

Early form of theatrical lighting. The incandescent calcium light invented by Thomas Drummond in 1816 was first employed in a theatre in 1837 and was widely used by the 1860s. Its soft, brilliant light enabled it to be focused for spotlighting and to create effects such as sunlight and moonlight. The expression in the limelight referred to the most desirable acting area on the stage, the front and centre, which was illuminated by limelights. Electric lighting replaced limelight in the late 19th century.

How to Survive, Tokyo

Favorite thing:
Always Remember that ATM's in japan are mostly local! you can only withdraw from international ATM locations in Airports, Major Rail Stations, Post offices and on 7-11 stores! when in major Rail Stations or Airports, look for international ATM consortium logos like Cirrus, Maestro, Mastercard, Discover, Plus and a lot more! you can withdraw up to 100,000 yen a transactions at international atms but they also have a transaction charge of 500 yen whatever amount you are withdrawing so if you are needing only small amounts then better to exchange money at money changing shops or hotels.
Fondest memory: Once Again, remember that international atm's only exist in 7-11 stores, post offices and major railway stations and airports so even if you see a familiar logo like mastercard or cirrus or plus at the atm and it is not on the places above, don't dare withdraw money ok!
also look for the english language button for english language translation in the lcd displays of atms!
Favorite thing:
The International Roaming Rates of Mobile Phone Companies are sky high at $ 2.25 minute per call so your best bet while traveliing in japan is using a phone card like KDDI Super World Cards. These Phone Cards can be purchased in vending machines at Haneda Airport, Hiroshima Airport, Okayama Airport, Fukuoka Airport and New Chitose Airport, as well as at Narita International Airport, Kansai International Airport and Central Japan International Airport. Also available at all konbinis like lawsons, 7-11, family mart, am pm and at supermarkets.
Fondest memory: International direct dialing calls are charged in units of 6 seconds to calls placed with this card. To save more, you can take advantage of economical time period discounts. Cost advantage is about 11-22% in the case of calls placed during the Evening & Holiday Rate Period, and about 17-38% in the case of calls placed during the Late Night & Early Morning Rate Period in Japan local time (assuming the calls last 3 minutes).
A single rate of 2 yen for every 6 seconds applies to domestic long distance calls regardless of distance or time of the day.
International calls are charged in economical 6-second increments. Plus, the "Long Call Discount" is applied to calls that last more than three minutes. And there are special discounts for calls made during evening, holiday, and late night/early morning hours.
Favorite thing:
If you are traveling with others, it is a good idea to rent a couple of mobile phones. You can do this right at the airport, and you return the phone there as well. There are several plans to choose from, which are all described in English. I was traveling with two other people, and having the phones was very helpful in getting organized and getting in touch when we got separated (intentionally or not).
Japan has it's own mobile technology, so your American or European phone won't work there (unless you have some sort of uber phone).
Favorite thing:
Some cities you can go to and just easily navigate and never have a problem, Tokyo is not this city. A little preparation will go a long way. It will also save you so much time! I recommend the following:
1. Guide book
2. Train line map. Make yourself aware of the train station near your hotel.Make yourself aware of the train lines that you may travel on.
3. Ensure the guide book has some basic Japanese phrases
4. Print or write down your hotel name in Japanese
Favorite thing:
Most Japanese are not good at English even at tourists spots. You have to know how to speak '1-10' 'where is this place?', and 'how much is this?'. Throughout my trip, i communicate most of these phrases.
Fondest memory: Best memory of Tokyo are that Tokyo people are extremely disciplined, helpful and friendly.
You have no fear riding Subway even during peak hours. They dont push one another.
Favorite thing:
Japan is quite expensive but there are ways to live very cheaply without complete suffering...
For example - you could eat a McChicken sandwich 3 times a day or pot noodles - so in this case food daily cost would 1.5 English pounds or 3 dollars - but thats pretty much rock bottom! 1000 yen a day is the more realistic minimum for food
Accommodation - stay in a gaijin or guesthouse for a few weeks at 1500 - 2000 yen a day (7 - 10 English pounds - 15 - 20 dollars)
The tap water is drinkable... A can of coke will cost you 60p (1 us dollar)
All you can drink nightclub will cost 2-3000 yen for the whole night - 15 pounds, 30 dollars
DVD rental - less than 2 pounds (4 dollars) for a week
Trains are reasonably costed at less than a pound for a short journey..
Gusto`s restaruants are good for Western style food and the drinkbar is a bargain.. All you can drink (unfortunately not alchohol!) for under 1 pound
Favorite thing:
Not really a favorite thing, but in case you are in Tokyo and need a doctor but cannot speak the language, there are a couple of things you can do.
1) First, the nicer hotels often have doctors in house who can help get youtaken care of, or to an emergency room.
2) Contact your local embassy. It is a good idea to carry the numbers for your country's embassy with you no matter where you go, but in case of a medical emergency, they can get you someplace where they speak your language, or can help provide someone to assist in language communication.
3) IAMAT: The International Association for Medical Assitance to Travelers. These guys are great! Trust me on this one! For those of us who speak English, they have a list of English speaking doctors.
Fondest memory: Not a fond memory of Tokyo, more of a confirmation that I am allergic to shellfish.
In case you need to contact IAMAT, there are two ways. By phone, before you go to get a list of doctors, 716-754-4883 or 416-652-0137, or by the internet at www.sentex.net/~iamat when you are there and suffering.

Following-up on a review they did four years ago, the Charlottesville Education Association released a survey of educators to get their opinions on the state of the school system. The biggest finding was that people are concerned over the way the Central Office treats building employees.
"This has always been a historic problem in terms of communication between the board and the rest of the school division," said Bekah Saxon of CEA.
"We're going to move right away to developing a strategic planning process," added Chairwoman Dede Smith. "It will be a wonderful opportunity for teacher's the community, and central office staff to come together."
The employees felt the biggest change was a better relationship with their superiors.
"They really feel that they have the support of their principals and direct supervisors and four or five years ago that was not the case," said Saxon.
"They look forward to coming to school each day: What could be better?" asked Smith.
A key issue plaguing the school board re-surfaced. "The achievement gap is a major issue in education today and the need to address this was overwhelming in the survey," said Smith.
The survey was not sponsored by the school board, but they will review it for more insight. Only about one third of Charlottesville School District staff members responded to the questions.

Alpha Consumer Challenge: Best Date Night
Submit your most creative, frugal idea for romance.
Has the current economic squeeze killed date night? I don't think so. We just need to get more creative about it.
The third edition of the Alpha Consumer Challenge asks you to describe your most creative, money-saving strategy for date night. Do you shun $20 movie tickets for some Netflix action? Or overlook the newest hot restaurant for your favorite recipe at home? Some indulgence is OK—there's no need to spend $0—but submissions will be judged based on their originality and frugality. While $50 might be a lot for dinner, I'll be impressed if you can plan a weekend getaway on that amount.
The winner will get Break Down Your Money: How to Get Beyond the Noise to Profit in the Markets by Fox Business Network reporter Tracy Byrnes.
To get you in the mood, I'll share my favorite plan. My husband loves steak. I love wine. We also love fancy restaurants, but we've cut them out of our budget while we save for a house. So to dress things up, we go to Whole Foods, spend about $30 on steak, wine, vegetables, and appetizers, and then have a five-star dinner at home. Yes, $30 is still pricey for a meal, but if we ate that well at a restaurant, it would easily cost double or even triple that. Plus, we can listen to our favorite music and don't have to worry about driving home afterwards.
Now it's your turn. What's your best date night on a budget?

Going home for the holidays can easily turn into a high-stress situation as millions of Americans clog the highways and airports during the year's busiest travel time.
Travelzoo recently released a collection of tips to help travelers alleviate the stress of, and save money on, holiday travel.
1. Download popular travel apps that save you time and money. Apps like Waze GPS navigation or Google Maps help you avoid traffic jams and get the best routes. Find last-minute restaurant deals once you arrive with Travelzoo's mobile app.
2. Pick the right day to fly. Be flexible with your travel dates. Flying on Thanksgiving or Christmas day can be less expensive than surrounding days. Be flexible on your departure and arrival dates to save 30 to 50 percent.
3. Choose a smaller airport. Try alternative airports: Oakland vs. San Francisco, Midway vs. O'Hare, Burbank vs. LAX, Westchester vs. JFK. Search for fares on Fly.com and receive an alert if there's a cheaper fare from a nearby airport.
4. Connect south. Pick the southernmost airport for connections to avoid potential weather delays.
5. Choose a destination not celebrating a holiday. The Caribbean on Thanksgiving costs less than Orlando because families often stay in the U.S. over the holidays.
6. Book a room at a business hotel. Hotels in major cities drop rates because of the lack of business travelers during holidays.
7. Head to the beach. Beachfront resorts are quieter in the winter or fall. Save as much as 30 percent at destinations like Cape Cod, Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach.
8. Cruise through the holiday. Holiday cruises offer the best value for the entire family--some offers are less than $100 per person, per night--plus you can see several destinations in a single trip.
9. Be smart at airport security. CLEAR or the TSA Pre-Check Program can help you speed through security. Ship gifts instead of bringing them in your carry-on.
10. De-stress at a premium airport lounge. Buy a single-day pass to a premium lounge as a way to escape the noise of airport terminals. You'll arrive more rested, relaxed and ready for holiday fun.

The construction of Chelsea Piers Connecticut, a 400,000-square-foot sports complex located at the former Clairol site in Stamford, has officially begun.
With a tentative opening of June 2012, Chelsea Piers Connecticut will boast similar features to that of Chelsea Piers New York, which opened in 1995 on the West side of Manhattan: two NHL regulation ice rinks, turf fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, field hockey, softball, and baseball, a gymnastics center, an aquatics center with an Olympic-sized pool, seven tennis courts, 12 squash courts, a trampoline center, a baseball/softball training area, childcare/preschool, food service, pro shop, catering and party/special event spaces.
According to David Tewksbury, co-founder of Chelsea Piers New York and president of CPCT, the site at 1 Blachley Road was an ideal place for the company to build its new complex. "We found this piece of property very suitable for reuse," he said. "This building has been very well maintained."
Tewksbury told Patch that some of the changes being made to the site, which is comprised of a single story building connected to a two-story building, include the removal of all of the steel beams on the main floor, the removal of concrete walls to make room for 12-foot glass walls and the addition of 150,000 square feet on the roof of the site's warehouse to accommodate turf fields and tennis courts.
While Chelsea Piers New York is spread out over four different piers, patrons of Chelsea Piers Connecticut will enter through one main area and check in at the main desk. They will then find a spacious sitting area where parents can grab a bite and relax while waiting for their kids to finish a game. "It will be a more exciting place and more efficient," Tewksbury said.
He added that the city itself is ideal because of its proximity to the well-populated Westchester County as well as its reputation as a sports-loving community. "[Stamford] is the heart of Fairfield County," Tewksbury said. "The area has a significant population level and the people here are very enthusiastic about sports."
The complex's proximity to emphasizes its potential to partner with the city's educators and coaches. "This is a great opportunity for us, especially when it comes to afterschool programming," Tewksbury said. "Our partnership with schools and families will be the lifeblood of this facility."
The complex's first programs will start next summer and include both recreational and competitive summer sports camps in ice skating, ice hockey, squash, gymnastics, tennis, baseball/softball, and swimming. Fall classes and programs will begin in September 2012.
Chelsea Piers Connecticut is part of The Campus, which is owned by Stamford Exit 9, LLC, and a partnership consisting of affiliates of Spinnaker Real Estate Partners, Steven Wise Associates and the , which has plans to set up additional production space at the site.
