If you use the Billings meet as an "indicator" a whole bunch of the Class B schools are going to be looking up at the Cowboy matmen this season.
Conrad placed 11th at the annual meet in Billings that also attracts many of the best wrestlers in Wyoming. In fact a team from Gillette won the tournament.
Team scores and places looked like this; Gillette 255, Billings Skyview 220, Bozeman 168, Great Falls High, Billings Senior 145, Huntley Project 127, Laurel 125, CMR 108, Billings Skyview JV 87, Billings West 85, Conrad 83.5, Buffalo 71, Shepherd 43, Billings SR-JV 26,
Billings West-JV 14, Billings Central 6, Columbus-Absarokee 2.
All the schools that finished higher that Conrad are either Class AA or A, with the exception of Huntley Project.
Luke Schlosser tipping the scales at 112 pounds and Brett Bishop in the 140 bracket, both placed second at the meet.
Early on, Schlosser had a pin-win and a 5-1 decision and Bishop won a match with a pin in just :39. Lucas Schultz, at 189 pounds came on to place fifth and did so with a pin-win in 3:04 over Ryan Gueff of Skyview 2. Johnny Schlosser placed fourth in the 160 pound bracket.
Coach Kevin Moritz commented, "I am very proud of this team in its first meet of the year against very tough opponents from larger schools."
Saturday there was a JV takedown tournament and Conrad had four wrestlers participate. Wesley Varnum took first place, Bryce Watterud was second and Justin Ratzburg and Ryan Townsend were in fifth place, all in their respective weight classes.
Moritz went on to add, "I felt the kids wrestled well after all the sickness we have been battling the last two weeks."
The Cowboy Wrestler of the Week is shared by L. Schlosser and Bishop. "Both wrestlers showed great desire and a no-quit attitude in their matches," Moritz said.
The Stepped It Up award, for going above and beyond expectation, went to Shultz.
The Practice Wrestler of the Week, for showing leadership, sacrifice and a good work ethic went toWatterud for going to camps in the off-season and to stay after practice to work extra time on his moves.
The JV Wrestler of the Week award went to Varnum for his attitude and work ethic and for placing first in the Takedown tourney on Saturday.
Thursday the team is in Shelby for a meet with the Coyotes and then Dec. 11-12 they are in the Mining City of Butte for a big duals meet
Watch out, it is the season for phone scams
With the holiday season upon us, many good-willed individuals express their generosity by giving to those less fortunate.
Unfortunately, that can also create an opportunity for scam artists to take advantage of the kindness of others. It is important to make certain your generosity is received by those who need it most.
So when giving this holiday season remember to use your head, as well as your heart.
Look-alike charities
Watch out for charities with similar names to well-known organizations. Some scam artists try to trick people by using names that make them appear to be the same as or comparable to valid charities.
Always investigate the organization prior to making a donation. Look at their websites. Many non-profit web addresses end in .org instead of .com.
Phone scams
Be cautious of charities that contact you over the phone. In our area for example, there's a popular scam from solicitors who claim to represent the local law enforcement or firemen and related police fundraising organizations. Ask the solicitor for the charity's mailing address so that you can send them a check directly. When in doubt, call the charity yourself and ask them if they're aware of the solicitations being done in their name.
Know your charity
Many more organizations push for donations during the holidays. Research your charity before making the decision to donate. If they offer you very little information, they may not be legitimate. A legitimate charity will give you information describing its mission, how donations are distributed and proof that your contribution is tax deductible.
How is your donation used?
One of the most important things to consider when making a charitable contribution is how much of your money actually goes to the charitable cause. Most charities are required to register and file annual reports showing how donations are used. You can ask how to find this information at your state or local consumer protection agency.
Contribution collectors
Individuals who go door-to-door or position themselves in high traffic areas should be carrying proper credentials and identification. These individuals should be knowledgeable about the organization and be able to provide you with informative materials about the charity. Ask for written information and the solicitor's identification to validate the organization. For security and tax record purposes, it's important to pay by check when giving a contribution and write the charity's official name on the check.
Mail scams
Holiday greetings may not the only thing crowding your mailbox. This time of year, watch for appeals for donations. If you do not recognize the name of a particular charity, you can check out their legitimacy as well as their efficiency with your money at the BBB Wise Giving Alliance website, www.give.org.
Email scams
Be skeptical of emails seeking charitable contributions. Many unsolicited messages received through email are fraudulent. Do not respond to these emails as many of them ask you to send money to an off-shore bank account.
Additionally, a fraudulent charity email may have an attachment, offering you more information. Be aware, as many times these attachments contain viruses.
It is always important that any charity-related email include a link to an authorized website. You should also be skeptical of any charity email or website that requires you to enter you social security number.
Promised prizes
Be cautious of guaranteed sweepstakes winnings in exchange for your contribution. This may not be the type of holiday gift you are looking for. Fraudulent sweepstake mailers encourage consumers to return the apparent 'winning' entry along with a donation to the charity named in the promotion. The wording in the mailer makes it seem like the recipient is already a winner. Be skeptical if a solicitor thanks you for a contribution you don't remember giving.
Other options
Instead of donating money to a charity, consider volunteering your time. Contributing your personal time to help others can mean much more than simply writing a check. You can also donate toys, clothing or nonperishable food and make it part of your holiday tradition.
Adamant demands
Refuse any high-pressure requests for your contribution. Legitimate charities usually don't require people to give at a moment's notice. An established charity will still be willing to accept your donation, even if you take some time to research first.
If you do receive a phone scam, report it to the local law enforcement authorities.
Construction work begins on water project
Construction work is now beginning on two major Montana Water projects funded in part through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The first construction element at the Buffalo Rapids Watershed Project involved installation of a center Pivot Irrigation system. The project is located in the Buffalo Rapids Irrigation District which covers over 24-thousand acres in parts of Custer, Prairie and Dawson Counties. The Federal share cost of the project is $281,000.
The project involves installation of new irrigation equipment and the burial of water-carrying pipelines. All water for the project is diverted from the Yellowstone River through five pumping plants and one re-lift plant. When completed the amount of energy required to pump irrigation water will be significantly reduced. The project will provide improved irrigation water quantity and quality conserving water associated with cropland irrigation.
Construction is also getting underway on the three-stage Lower Birch Creek Watershed canal and waste-way improvement project.
The Watershed is located in Pondera County. The project will stabilize severe gully erosion by conveying excess irrigation flows back into the Lower Birch Creek, the original source of irrigation water.
Water will be returned to stable outlets in the stream corridor through buried pipelines. Federal funding through ARRA is $527,000 with an additional $366,000 paid by partners; Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company and the Pondera County Soil and Water Conservation District.
When completed 25,000 tons of sediment deposited annually into more than 18 miles of stream fisheries will be significantly reduced and water quality significantly improved.
Irrigation run-off, which through the years has caused severe erosion will be diverted back to its original source.
Both projects are part of the Obama Administration's plans to modernize the nation's infrastructure, jumpstart the economy, and create jobs.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsak recently announced $84.8 million is being allocated to state and local governments throughout the nation to improve water quality, increase water supply, decrease soil erosion and improve fish and wildlife habitat as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Raymond Vaughn Moore, age 70, of North Street, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 8, 2012, in Mohawk Valley Nursing Home. He had the comfort of his family at his side.
Raymond Vaughn Moore, age 70, of North Street, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 8, 2012, in Mohawk Valley Nursing Home. He had the comfort of his family at his side.
Born on December 20, 1941, in Herkimer, he was a son of the late Victor and Dorothea Roberts Moore. He was educated in Waterville schools. On January 27, 1962, he married the former Joan Hojnowski in Poolville, a union of 34 years until her passing on January 15, 1996. He had worked for various local companies before starting his own business called R & C Janitorial, retiring in 1991.
Raymond was a man who had a variety of interests. He enjoyed farming, baking and watching NASCAR racing. The highlight of his life was the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren who held a special place in his heart. He enjoyed playing practical jokes, especially on his brothers, and as a friend, he was always there to lend a helping hand.
Surviving are five sons, Robert Moore, his wife, Rose Marie, of Mohawk, and their family, Karlee and Matthew; Brad Moore of Mohawk; Brent Moore, his wife, Johnna, of Quintman, MS, and their family, Jonah and Tanner; Raymond Moore, his wife, Becky, of Webster, FL, and their family, Raymond, Jr., Sierra and Cortney; and Barry Moore of Ilion; three daughters, Bonnie Rice, her husband, Ronald, of Mohawk, and their family, Samantha and Tyler; Barbara Higgins, her fiance, Chuck DiGeorgio, Jr., of Ilion, and their family, Kenneth and Kayla; and Beth Cullen, her husband, Edward, of Mohawk, and their family, Rebecca, Heather, Rachael and Bryan; three brothers, Ronald Moore, of Syracuse, Donald Moore and his wife, Pamela, of New Tripoli, PA, and John Moore and his wife, Martina, of Cape Cod, MA; a sister, Phyllis Burshor and her husband, Jerry, of Brookeville, OH; one great-granddaughter, Molly; and sister-in-law, June Moore, of Houston, TX. Besides his parents and wife, Joan, he was preceded in death by his twin brother, Robert Moore, and sister-in-law, Beverly Moore.
Funeral service will be on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. in Fenner Funeral Home, Inc., 115 Court Street, Herkimer. The Reverend Victor McKusick, Pastor of the Ilion Presbyterian Church, will officiate. Interment will follow in Oak Hill Cemetery. The family will be present in the funeral home to receive relatives and friends on Friday evening from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m.

The annual Wal-Mart shareholder's meeting on Friday is expected to draw about 14,000 people, including its workers around the globe.
Ikea's US division is raising the minimum wage for thousands of its retail workers, pegging it to the cost of living in each location, instead of its competition.
Starbucks is giving its baristas a shot at an online college degree, an unusual benefit in an industry where higher education is often out of reach for workers.
"Our purpose of saving people money will always be relevant, but we'll do it in new ways," said newly anointed CEO Doug McMillion.
Like other retail chains that cater to working-class Americans, Wal-Mart is a victim of an uneven economic recovery that hasn't benefited the lower rung.
Wal-Mart violated Quebec's labor code when it closed a store in the province that had become one of the first in Canada to successfully unionize, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled.
Wang and her team argue that the union endorsed the assessment of her as "dishonest" when she was fired and in doing so damaged her reputation.
McMillon, 47, who took the helm this year, is a longtime executive and employee at Wal-Mart. He first worked in a company distribution center in 1984.

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State recruits asked coach Mike Gundy an obvious question during the past few weeks — who will be the Cowboys' offensive coordinator next football season?
Gundy didn't have an answer but used recent history to address any concerns.
The Cowboys' high-flying offense didn't miss a beat when two former coordinators, Larry Fedora and Dana Holgorsen, left for Southern Mississippi and West Virginia, respectively. Gundy said Wednesday he told recruits the same should be the case with whoever replaces Todd Monken, who now is the head coach at Southern Mississippi.
That assurance helped the Cowboys land two top receiving prospects from Dallas and a pair of running backs from Texas who figure to see immediate playing time, Gundy said.
"One thing that is true is that our offensive philosophy has not changed," Gundy said. "We're going to be spread and we're going to run it and we're going to throw it and we're going to play fast and we're going to be aggressive. We'll find somebody who can coach quarterbacks and call plays that will run our system because we feel good about it."
The Cowboys lost a pair of receiver prospects, but Gundy feels good about the two they signed, both of them rated as four-star prospects by the Rivals.com and Scout.com recruiting services.
Marcell Ateman had 84 catches for 1,584 yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior at Wylie East High School. He's 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds now and Gundy thinks he'll put on an extra 20 to 30 pounds by working in the weight room. Ra'Shaad Samples of Skyline High School had 65 catches for 1,369 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior in 2011, then broke his ankle during the off-season. He recovered and posted a strong senior season, catching 62 passes for 1,072 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Oklahoma State's recent success in developing NFL receivers - most notably Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon - helped the Cowboys land those two prospects, Gundy said.
"We were able to attract wide receivers from a much larger area than we do some of the other positions," Gundy said. "At some point, in the end, it can work against you a little bit, because somebody will say, 'You've already got 12 or 15 guys who can play.' So for the most part it works for us and there's a little part of it that scares some guys away in the end."
The Cowboys also signed two running backs after losing starter Joseph Randle, who entered the NFL draft pool. Corion Webster, who rushed for 1,786 yards at Atlanta, Texas, High School last season, had long been committed to Oklahoma State and was rated as a four-star prospect by ESPN.com.
When Randle announced his decision to forego his senior season, that opened up a spot for another running back and Oklahoma State offered a scholarship to Rennie Childs, who rushed for 1,945 yards and 19 touchdowns last season for Cypress Ridge High School in Houston.
"We have always played our freshman running backs," Gundy said. "So they're going to play."
With three returning quarterbacks - Clint Chelf, J.W. Walsh and Wes Lunt - who each started at times last season, Oklahoma State didn't sign anyone at that position as part of its 23-player class.
Gundy was particularly pleased with the quality of the Cowboys' defensive-line signees. Oklahoma State brought in three defensive tackles and three defensive ends, including a pair of junior-college players who could see immediate action - 6-foot-2, 290-pound tackle Ofa Hautau of Snow (Utah) and 6-foot-3, 260-pound end Sam Wren of Arizona Western.
Hautau was a first-team junior-college All-America pick and Wren led all juco players last season, averaging 1.6 sacks per game.
"This will be the best class that we've brought in since I've been here," Gundy said. "We have some meat in it. We have guys coming in who are big and physical as we speak, and then they get six months, 12 months, 18 months with (strength) coach (Rob) Glass."
The Cowboys also used a scholarship on a kicker, Ben Grogan of Martin High School in Arlington, Texas. Grogan, who went 9-of-11 on field-goal attempts in 2012 with a long of 56 yards, will be groomed to replace the departed Quinn Sharp, a two-time Big 12 Conference special teams player of the year.
Oklahoma State signed only one Oklahoman - 6-foot-4 linebacker Dawson Bassett of Tuttle. Bassett is the brother of former Oklahoma State team captain Cooper Bassett. Gundy said he wished the Cowboys had brought in more than one in-state prospect.

However, both will be seeing new things when practice begins. Grissom is moving to outside linebacker. Wilson will be getting a look at cornerback as his senior season begins

While Perry has endorsed Gingrich, Ron Paul stands to benefit somewhat from his fellow Texan's departure from the Republican race. But then, so do the rest of the candidates.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP
Will Ron Paul benefit from Rick Perry dropping out of the presidential race? There's been lots of talk today about how Newt Gingrich might pick up voters from the Perry campaign's demise, but less about how it might affect the libertarian from Texas, who – it must be noted – is now one of only four major candidates left in the race.
Congressman Paul himself joked about picking up Perry supporters Thursday morning. Asked for his reaction to the Perry news by a CBS News reporter, Paul said, "I'm glad, I'll have all his votes!" Then he laughed. Clearly, he was kidding.
"If somebody else likes a Texan maybe [they'll] come to me," Paul continued, then kept moving along shaking hands with supporters.
Strictly speaking, Paul certainly will benefit from Mr. Perry pulling out. Mr. Gingrich won't get all of Perry's support. Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum will all pick up a share.

Since AirVenture 2012, I've been part of several discussions about the way — and reasons why — aircraft become certified. Sound boring? Yes and no.
One way this might get your interest is to consider if Icon Aircraft, which is developing the A5, could join Cessna in going Primary Category instead of Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA). (Disclaimer: I have no information about any such decision from Icon — this is merely a discussion.) Perhaps even more to the point is the price of airplanes based on their certification cost.

Building a bigger tent
With the Republican convention only days behind us, and the Democratic convention going on this week, this is the obvious opportunity to take a lesson from their play books. Because whether you subscribe to this one or that one, you have to admit the elephants and donkeys have been exceptionally successful for many years at exactly one thing: They stay in the driver's seat year after year, fending off challengers with the ease a well-waxed airplane sheds raindrops in flight. And they both accomplish that feat by using the exact same method. They work hard to build a big tent, and then build it even bigger at every opportunity.
In contrast, let's consider ourselves — general aviation community. We are a minority. A small minority, actually. Very small. We are also undeniably shrinking. [Read more...]

My last day at Oshkosh
By KATE FERRARI
As the rush of fear set upon me, I froze. The propeller was so close, whirring around at an unbelievable pace. I could feel the rush of wind it was emitting, coasting over my neck.
"Katie, come on!" My whole body jolted into action as I snapped back into reality. I ran around to the other side of the SR20 and pushed the scalding, sun-beaten wing with all my might, slowly steering the plane towards the runway. The crew and I were last in line. [Read more...]
Flying coast to coast in a homebuilt
By TOM JONES
Many people dream of making the trip of a lifetime, but few make the dream a reality. Not so for Albert and Sharon Gardner, a Yuma, Ariz., couple who flew coast to coast in their RV-10. Last summer, the couple flew nearly 12,000 miles, landing in 100 cities in 37 states.
The trip was the culmination of a longtime desire that Albert had to land his airplane in every contiguous state of the Union. Prior to this trip, he had landed his airplane in every state west of the Mississippi.
Breitling contest winner earns his pilot's license
Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling is congratulating Facebook photo contest winner Jeremy P. Hampton from Overland Park, Kansas, on completing his 11-month training program necessary to officially receive his pilot's license, the grand prize for the contest the company sponsored just over one year ago.
Political convention TFRs demand serious study
The FAA has issued first notices of flight restrictions for the two political conventions and flights to, from or through the areas — Tampa, Florida, and Charlotte, N.C. — will be affected, with pilots needing to be alert not only for the announced early Temporary Flight Restrictions, but also for any last-minute changes or additions that may come about.
In the old days, the word "Contact!" was central to the process of getting things going. The pilot yelled "Contact!" The mechanic then responded in kind while laying hands on the prop. Seconds later, after a grunt, a flip of the prop, and a puff of smoke, an airplane would leap to life.
Technology has changed that process a bit. But the need to make contact is as important as ever, in whatever form it takes.

Law enforcement sources told The Daily Star they are hunting for Barry Renert, a former employee of the Seventh Inning Stretch store, in connection with the shooting, in which no one was hurt.
Cooperstown Police Chief Mike Covert said Renert threatened Seven Inning Stretch owner Vincent Carfagno with a 9 mm Glock pistol, and Carfagno fired a weapon once at Renert, who fled.

Democrat Kay Hagans campaign will announce today she raised more than $2 million in the final three months of 2013.
The solid haul is sure to boost her financial advantage against the six Republicans vying to replace her. Hagans campaign says it started the 2014 election year with $6.8 million in the bank.
The total in the fourth quarter means she posted two $2 million fundraising reports in 2013. The Greensboro lawmaker reported $5.4 million on hand at the end of September.
Hagans campaign reported more than 15,000 individual donors with 89 percent contributing low-dollar amounts (which the campaign didnt define).
These resources will ensure the Kays message about her strong track record of bipartisan results can reach voters all across North Carolina and carry the campaign to victory this year, campaign manager Preston Elliott said in a statement.
The campaign will file its campaign finance report at the end of the month. Hagans Republican rivals have not yet filed, nor offered a peek at their numbers.
Her top Republican challenger, House Speaker Thom Tillis, has set a roughly $6 million goal for his primary challenge and $12 million for the campaign.
Tillis raised $811,675 in his first full fundraising period, July through September. But it didnt keep on pace with his expectations and left him with $838,717 in the bank.
The candidates spending helps determine how much campaign advertising and infrastructure they can afford to mount a successful campaign, but it doesnt reflect all the money expected in the race. Outside interests already are spending millions to influence voters in the race.
*** Gov. Pat McCrory looks to set the tone for his second year in office. Read about it and more below in the Dome Morning Memo.***
TODAY IN POLITICS: Gov. Pat McCrory will hold a press conference at 10:45 a.m. Tuesday at the executive mansion with the top leaders of his cabinet agencies. It comes as he looks to hit the reset button at the start of his second term after a rocky record in his first year.
McCrory is expected to preview his agenda for 2014 in the event much of which he has signaled in recent weeks, such as teacher pay and energy exploration. (More on McCrory below.)
On Tuesday, nine legislative committees will meet, led by two health care focused committees at 9 a.m. and then 1 p.m. A House committee looking at the states drone policy will also meet at 1 p.m.
3 MORE QUESTIONS McCRORY WILL FACE: The governor will want to put the focus on his agenda but other big stories are brewing. Heres a look at three questions hell likely hear:
1. Does he support appealing of the states ultrasound law to a higher court after a federal judge struck down Friday? ( Read story on ruling here.)
2. With recent departures in his administration and more expected soon, what does the staff shakeup say about his first year and the direction of his office?
3. What is the time line you set as governor for the completion of new abortion clinic rules, as written by the Department of Health and Human Services, and why does the effort appear to be taking so long?
THE McCRORY REPORT CARD: Gov. Pat McCrory starts the second year of his term on uneven ground.
The Republicans first year was marked by repeated controversies in his administration and a hot-button legislative session that led to contentious decisions on abortion, immigration and elections. His approval rating among voters in January is 37 percent, eight points lower than where he started a year ago.
But at the same time, much of his legislative agenda is moving forward and McCrory is touting the states improving economy. Soon after his election, The News & Observer looked at five main goals McCrory set during his campaign: lower unemployment, cut taxes, join an offshore drilling coalition, implement an infrastructure plan and increase accessibility.
Through his first year, McCrorys record is mixed. See the report card here.
MORE ON DRONE COMMITTEE: A special House committee formed to explore the topic of drones meets for the first time Tuesday and could propose legislation to address issues surrounding the unmanned aircraft and their potential use by government agencies in North Carolina.
Rep. Mitchell Setzer, a Catawba County Republican and co-chairman of the House Study Committee on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, said the first meeting would focus on drone technology and the status of federal and state laws governing them.
According to its charge, the committee is expected to delve into safety and privacy issues related to drones, as well as the economic benefits of the industry. It also will look at drone uses, including search and rescue, responding to natural disasters, law enforcement operations, surveying, and environmental and infrastructure monitoring. Read more here.
MORE PROBLEMS PLAGUE HEALTH CARE LAW: Missing policies, lost policies, multiple policies and general confusion are plaguing legions of North Carolina residents who had rushed to sign up for health insurance by a Christmas Eve deadline.
The latest crisis for the federal health care law is exacerbated by about 99,000 people in North Carolina signing up for health insurance in December, requiring insurers to process the applications within days and clogging networks with a crush of virtual paperwork. Read more here.
LETHAL INJECTION BACK IN THE COURTS: The execution of an Ohio inmate last week sparked a new round of intense debate about what constitutes cruel and unusual punishment for prisoners sentenced to death.
In the Ohio death chamber, where a new combination of lethal drugs was tested for the first time, witnesses reported seeing Dennis B. McGuire, the inmate convicted of raping and murdering a woman in 1989, gasping for air, convulsing and clenching his fist for 25 minutes as the injection pulsed through his veins.
Though it has not been determined whether the two-drug combination was responsible for the prolonged death or whether McGuire felt pain, it has raised questions about how states execute their death row inmates.
That question is at the root of a case scheduled to go before the N.C. Court of Appeals on Tuesday. Read more here.
ABORTION OPPONENTS RALLY: At the afternoon rally, N.C. Right to Life President Barbara Holt cited the recent legislative success: Since we met last year, our legislature passed an omnibus pro-life bill that is just amazing in what it does. Read more here.
RUCHO ON THE ATTACK: Republican state Sen. Bob Rucho didnt waste any time attacking his would-be GOP opponent, Jim Morrill reports. Rucho, of Matthews, sent out an email last week criticizing Charlotte attorney Matt Arnold, who plans to run against him in the Republican primary.
Matt Arnold is just another trial lawyer who fills our courts with frivolous lawsuits that hurt the job-creating businesses and working families of our district, Rucho said. It should surprise no one that he doesnt understand 1) Obamacare is wrecking our health care system and 2) Obamacare is a grave threat to our economy and personal freedom.
For the last 100 years Raleigh was full of people like Matt Arnold they were called liberal Democrats.
Arnold, a first-time candidate, specializes in family law. He said he and Rucho have never met.I dont think his divisive comments and the way he carries himself fit that district, Arnold said. I dont think you can be a leader and be that divisive. Even if you dont agree with what they have to say, you still have to treat them with respect.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
lugar muy sencillo, muy limpio y acogedor, atencion extraordinaria, lo recomiendo
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Period: February/March 2012 with a family (4 people: parents with children 18 and 14)
The hotel is situated about 200 m. from Station Termini in an area where you can find a lot of hotels. There are 8 (?) rooms on the 5th floor, with 3 (?) family-rooms. To get to the hotel you have to enter a central lobby in a building where are settled more hotels and some apartments. There is an elevator which is very small and old, but it takes you up in a nice way.
The receptionists are very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a small family-room and by coincidence we found out that some other rooms were bigger. After two nights we could change to one of the bigger rooms.
The beds were good, but with blankets. Every room has it's own bathroom with toilet and good shower.
The rooms are very clean. No carpets.
Unfortunately one can hear the neighbors very good because of thin walls.
The receptionists are very willing to show the nicest places in town and they handover a city map.
Breakfast: a very good cappuccino, espresso or Americano in a bar at the end of the street. You have to passover a ticket that's given when you check-in the hotel. One ticket for every night that you stay at the hotel.
All together we absolutely recommend this hotel. Good for a decent price!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
It was very clean, the staff was very nice, the location was prime, the metro literally took us everywhere we needed to go. the price was right and the place were breakfast was served WAS AMAZING. GET A CAPPUCCINO!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The hotel is great! We were very suprised because we expected other thing! A Nice room, clean, staffs really good! Awesome location, beside to Termini, easy way to go everywhere.

You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After the Breakup
Vintage, 2010 - Rock musicians - 390 pages
* When Paul McCartney told the world in 1970 that he had no plans to work with the Beatles again, it was widely viewed as a cultural tragedy by the media and public alike. His statement not only marked the end of the band's remarkable career, but also seemed to signal the demise of an era of unprecedented optimism in cultural history. * But posterity would not let go of the group so easily and one of the most fascinating phases of the Beatle's story was just about to begin. For almost 40 years the four members of the group, their families and business partners, have been forced to live with the reverberations of their incredible success. * Now, for the first time, You Never Give Me Your Money tells the dramatic story of the personal and business rivalry that has dominated the Beatles' lives since 1969. It documents the bitter struggles between the Lennon and McCartney families. It charts the shifting relationships between four of the most famous figures of the 20th century as the strive to establish their identities beyond the Beatles. And it chronicles the transformation of their multi-media company, Apple Corps, from a bastion of 1960s counter-culture into a corporate behemoth, ready to launch lawsuits at anyone straying into its path. * The best of rock'n'roll writers, Peter Doggett gives us a compelling human drama and the equally rich and absorbing story of the Beatles' creative and financial empire, set up to safeguard their interests but destined to control their lives.

Mitt Romney may be out of the Republican presidential nomination race, but let's not forget his campaign did some innovative stuff when it came to online ads
Mitt Romney may be out of the Republican presidential nomination race, but let's not forget his campaign did some innovative stuff when it came to online ads. In addition to running the most display ads of any campaign in 2007 -- about 100 million impressions, according to Nielsen Online AdRelevance, the campaign was among the first to use Web ads for persuasion purposes.
This may not seem like a big deal, but the reality is when political ad consultants and campaign staffers think of online ads, they think fundraising and database or list building. Those are the two main goals of online political ads. Don't get me wrong, they seem to work well for these purposes, plus they provide straight forward metrics for measuring ROI: how much money did we rake in or how many names did we add compared to how much was spent?
But ask most people involved with the interactive aspect of campaigns and they'll say Web ads don't work for persuasion purposes. Romney for President ran some of the only persuasion-oriented ads we've seen this election season.
In December, the campaign ran ads promoting the former Massachusetts Governor's "clear vision of change for America," and mirrored the "Romney knows how to run a business" message the campaign focused on in other media. The ad told voters, "He did it in business, the Olympics, and in Massachusetts and He can do it in Washington." Other ad creative presented components of Romney's platform: "Republicans Have to Get Our Own House in Order. Stop wasteful spending. Secure the borders. Insist on high ethical standards."
The campaign was also the first (to my knowledge) to use the video overlay format. Oh, and it was probably the first Republican campaign to run ads on Gay.com (however unwittingly)....
Interestingly, the news of that faux pas led me to further investigate the information I'd been using throughout the year (and previous years) for much of the Campaign '08 coverage; that prompted a major revision of Nielsen data, and according to the firm, some changes in the way they track political ads.
Of course, the Romney camp did run fundraising ads, too. Mimicking ads run earlier in 2007, the campaign set a specific fundraising goal in December and gave it a name: Media Victory Fund. Display units featuring pop-art style graphics and bright colors told supporters to, "Tune in to Victory. Help Put Mitt Over the Top. $1,000,000 Media Victory Fund. Be Part of Mitt's TV Campaign." An earlier effort pushed "Project 44," and aimed to collect $44 from donors to support his run to be the 44th President.
I spoke with Romney for President's e-strategy director Mindy Finn in January about the campaign's online ad and e-mail efforts, including its heavy use of ad networks and geo-targeting, as well as how the campaign measured results -- for its direct-response and persuasion ads. (Read the full coverage here.)

Save the Okura: Monocle magazine campaigns to rescue Tokyo's Hotel Okura from demolitionWritten by: William on July 14, 2014 at 8:56 am | In CULTURE, LIFESTYLE | No Comments
We remember the good ol' days when every tech blog was keen-eyed for the latest development from Japan, when mainstream newspapers at least partly seemed to take Japanese fashion seriously, and… well, when our job was way easier! It's so much harder these days to get other folk excited about Japan, even with the Olympics a few years away and the government's mega-budget "Cool Japan" juggernaut apparently running at full steam. Japan just ain't cool anymore.
But Monocle disagrees: Monocle loves Japan. The magazine of choice for hipsters, sophisticates and pseuds has an obsession with things Japanese — well, at least, that certain kind of highly curated and orchestrated "design" world Japan. It might not have anything to do with how ordinary Japanese people live their lives but Monocle at any rate adores Tokyo's pristine and over-priced coffee shops, its toniest of tony boutiques, the design for exclusive clients by the likes of Kengo Kuma, and so on.
Its issues invariably feature a dose of Japan content from both Tokyo and the regions, and in the past it has put out a mini select store in the FrancFranc in Aoyama and even set up a Monocle Cafe in Marunouchi.
Founder Tyler Brûlé once mused to The Japan Times about what it is that he loves about Japan.
Tokyo is a city with a 24-hour metabolism. Customer service in Japan has an enthusiasm, a sense of "going for it," that's consistent. Whether it's in a convenience store or a hotel, there's an attention to detail. In the West, in too many cases, doing things "quickly" has become "slapdash."
Now Monocle is on a mission: to save the Hotel Okura.
The magazine has launched an online petition to have the famous hotel saved from demolition.
It's the "final checkout," as they say.
News that Tokyo's iconic 1960s Hotel Okura is to be reconstructed has been met with outrage from admirers of its unique design. While Tokyo's changing skyline is what makes it special, demolitions like this threaten its architectural history.
The Hotel Okura is one of the great symbols of Japan's postwar recovery, along with the Shinkanzen bullet train and Tokyo Tower. It opened two years ahead of the first Tokyo Olympics and its recent guests have included President Obama.
In September 2015 the best bit of the most loved hotel in Tokyo will be torn down by its owners to make way for a 38-storey glass tower. It will be a heartbreaking and irreparable loss.
The 550-room hotel will open 2019, in time for the Rugby World Cup and Tokyo Olympics. Though the 1973 Okura annex will remain, we can bid farewell to the murals, the wood, the tuxedos (on the staff), and the folk art motifs.
As a devotee of Japanese aesthetics, Monocle is taking the redevelopment very personally:
The demise of the Okura is akine to the loss of a good friend. Tokyo will not be the same without it.
As well as this online endeavor, Monocle's current July/August issue is running a generous six-page photo report paying tribute to the Okura and showcasing the efforts to save it.

Scotch Kousaku by Sumitomo 3M: Kids make paper clothes online, design by their voices and shoutingWritten by: William on July 4, 2014 at 3:25 pm | In LIFESTYLE, PRODUCT INNOVATION | No Comments
Sumitomo 3M has created a special website for creating fashion items online, controlled by the volume of your voice. The "Scotch Summer Holidays Family Kousaku Paper Fashion Kids" (or just Scotch Kousaku — "Scotch handicrafts") allows users to design their own clothing using the internal mic in their computer and voice recognition. By printing the design out, budding fashionistas can then assemble the pieces together using scissors or paper cutters.
Scotch Kousaku is live now and is available until August 31st, making it a cool activity for parents to give kids to do at home while they are off school.
The Scotch brand has been doing these kinds of online campaigns locally for kids and parents every summer since 2012 and 2014′s one is built around the idea of turning children into young designers.
The site is only in Japanese but is fairly easy to navigate. 3M provides you with ten wallpaper designs — a few basic clothes (t-shirts, dresses etc) and accessories (bags, hats) that are plain to get you started. You then supply the colors and patterns by selecting certain options — and shouting! The colors then respond to the volume and tone of your voice. For example, the more noise you make the more various multicolored leaves, splashes, circles and other patterns will appear.
Since kids are well-known for being loud, this is the perfect way to vent their vocal and creative skills.
Here is one we tried making… All right, we're not natural fashion designers! Clearly we aren't loud enough.
Here are some examples that 3M have put on the website to give you inspiration. They are downloadable as PDFs.
The clothes come in three sizes: Small (100-110cm), medium (110-120cm) and large (120-130cm).
Sumitomo 3M likes to do these kinds of campaigns to liven up the potentially mundane world of adhesive tape and Post-its. A few years ago they even had a very funky pop-up store in Omotesando that was more like an arts and crafts outlet than a shop to buy stationery.
There are no details available at present but the Scotch Kousaku website also promises a bricks-and-mortar store from late August where kids can try their hand at designing clothes.
For really releasing the need to shout, though, we recommend the Shouting Vase!

Following the 2013 bikes and other merchandise, HRM Goodsmile Racing Bike Project has created three new snazzy Hatsune Miku racing bikes.
The Racing Miku Hatsune Miku GT comes in three models: HRM-Extreme (for racing), HMR-9 (high performance model for hills and slopes), and HRM-x (the fashionista's choice).
The bikes are only made to order and come with eye-watering price tags. The HRM-Extreme comes in at ¥580,000 ($5,700) plus tax, while the HRM-9 and HRM-x are more reasonable ¥198,000 ($2,000) and ¥138,000 ($1,300) plus tax respectively.
Made using super lightweight esrMagnesia metal alloy, the bikes also include many components produced by top bike parts maker Shimano.
Goodsmile Racing has been competing in Japan's famous Super GT car race in Vocaloid idol-themed vehicles for several years now.
Now they are holding the GSR Cup Cycle Race on September 6th at the New Tokyo Circuit. Look out for Hatsune Miku bikes galore!
And if Hatsune Miku isn't quite to your taste or if you can't get enough of cute anime girls, you can also get Love Plus cycling jerseys and water bottles, based on the popular SIM dating game.

Glico Papico White Sour ice cream re-design goes cute for summer with updated female moe mascotWritten by: William on June 16, 2014 at 9:16 am | In LIFESTYLE, PRODUCT INNOVATION | No Comments
Glico's Papico ice cream has upped the marketing for its summer campaign and this apparently means appealing to the inner moe in every Japanese consumer.
The frozen snack has relaunched with new packaging featuring an updated slinky female mascot in three designs, though we wonder if the results are little too much for non-otaku.
As the summer heats up, it's the peak season for beer companies and ice cream bands.
It seems that otaku motifs are seeping into all walks of life now. The question is whether skimpily-dressed schoolgirls on the wrapping of a ice cream would make you buy it.
Papico is a tube containing ice cream that can usually be seen being sucked furiously on by school kids in the hotter months. One pack contains two tubes and there are multiple flavors.
The packaging for the "white sour" version has traditionally featured the Papico character Howaitosawa/Whitesawa (a joke on "white sour"), a sweet young girl — a sort of Japanese Milky Bar Kid — who has appeared on the wrapping in various forms since 1975. Glico found that without the girl, sales actually dropped.
This is how the packaging has changed over the years.
Out with the old, as the adage says. Glico launched a contest in April and May to have people re-design the packaging and the girl by submitting illustrations via pixiv. The winners were then picked from these and have made their way onto the final product, which went on sale on June 9th.
Here are the three winners.
And here are some of the unsuccessful entries.
In some ways we shouldn't be surprised as Papico is the same Glico product that is currently running a campaign with idol group AKB48, including recruiting a new thirty-something temporary housewife idol into the band. We guess they really were intent on changing the image of the product!
Don't worry. If you're a fan of the original retro Papico White Sour design, it's not going away for good. Once the moe-packaged Papico products are sold out, Glico says they won't be making any more.

Toyota's Camatte Lab at Tokyo Toy Show 2014 lets you design your own sports car hoodWritten by: William on June 13, 2014 at 3:28 pm | In LIFESTYLE | No Comments
Toyota has once again collaborated with Znug Design to produce another fun Camatte booth for the Tokyo Toy Show.
Following the Camatte's first appearance in the 2012 and 2013 editions of the fair which allowed kids to play around with car panels, now comes a double treat for both design and automobile fans.
The Camatte Lab is divided into two zones. The Tech Lab gives visitors an unusual up-close look at the inner workings of the car. The hands-on Design Lab is more creative, letting visitors customize a Camatte vehicle.
The Tech Lab features a Camatte57s without its body panels so you can see how the steering gear and differential gear box work. The internal parts are shown moving when the steering wheel and accelerator are operated.
The Tokyo Toy Show booth features multiple screens so even the driver can see in detail what is going on with the mechanics from every angle.
The neighboring Design Lab has a Camatte57s Sport vehicle with special LEDs projecting onto the hood. This means visitors can customize the sports car by displaying their own digital drawings with the LEDs. Kids, get your crayons ready!
The system scans the drawing and then projects it onto the car. Here are some of Toyota's ideas for designs.
Toyota bills Camatte as a "customizable, sporty, family-oriented concept" that will "free your imagination". The name is inspired by the Japanese word for caring, meaning both "caring for others" and "caring for cars".
The Tokyo Toy Show 2014 is open to the public this weekend at Tokyo Big Sight.

Tate no Ie: Muji's new "Vertical House"Written by: William on June 3, 2014 at 11:34 am | In PRODUCT INNOVATION | No Comments
Muji have created their first new model home in five years with the Tate no Ie, the "vertical house".
It joins the Mado no Ie (Window House) and the Ki no Ie (Tree House). Not strictly prefab, Muji homes are pre-designed but assembled on site.
The new three-story, wooden Tate no Ie stands on a 66.93 square meter lot. The model version is 4.5m (14.8 ft) wide and 8.19m deep (26.9 ft).
This is downstairs.
This is the living room.
And where the family cooks and eats…
And this is the bedroom.
This is the kids' room.
This is the central staircase.

Artist Asami Kiyokawa creates augmented reality butterflies for Starbucks CardWritten by: William on May 27, 2014 at 12:06 pm | In LIFESTYLE | No Comments
Artist Asami Kiyokawa, known for her extravagant combination of embroidery and photography, and collaborations with top models and actresses, has got together with Starbucks Japan to create a special Starbucks Card that uses augmented reality.
Kiyokawa's design is an unsurprisingly floral effort that features a prominent butterfly motif. By using the smartphone AR app junaio with the card, you can watch as the butterfly comes to life and seems to fly.
The AR Butterfly Starbucks Card will be popular with female patrons, no doubt, especially those who want to have gold butterflies fluttering around their coffee cups. Users can take pictures of the scenes they create and then share them on social media.
It will be available from most Starbucks outlets around Japan from June 4th as a gift card of ¥1,000 (or more) while stocks last.
Starbucks is now the second largest coffee shop chain in Japan, present in all but one prefecture. It frequently launches these kinds of campaigns to maintain its brand image in the face of its expansion. These include a collaboration with the studio nendo to create special coffee mugs, a "Japanese crafts" coffee shop in Meguro, and publishing its own "frappuccino fashion" magazine.

Hanabunko Flower Vase: A ceramic book vase for bibliophilesWritten by: Japan Trends on May 23, 2014 at 11:39 am | In PRODUCT INNOVATION | 1 Comment
You might think there isn't much room for further development in the design of the humble flower vase. But you'd be wrong.
Designed by Fumiaki Goto/224 Porcelain, the Hanabunko is a flower vase handmade from Hizen Yoshida-yaki ceramic from the Saga region. The minimalist design comes in either a blue or white color, and functions as both a book shelf divider and vase. It even comes with a "book cover" that you can slip off.
JapanTrendshop describes it as "a cute twist on flower pressing. This time you don't press flowers between the pages of a thick book. Instead, a flower can stand up comfortably right between the books on your shelf. The Hanabunko Flower Vase is a slender vase that at a glance looks like a book and can act both as a way to decorate your library and as a divider to help organize your titles."
The name literally means "flower paperback"; bunko are the small-format paperback books in Japan that slip perfectly into your pocket or bag. These are usually novels and cheap to buy.
The Hanabunko makes for a clever, unobtrusive and attractive tool for separating the various sections in your library. You can stand it up vertically or lay it down horizontally, and it will be equally at home among paperbacks or larger hardback volumes.
The Hanabunko is now available from JapanTrendShop.

Nendo designs coffee mugs for Starbucks JapanWritten by: William on April 3, 2014 at 10:33 am | In CULTURE | 1 Comment
Top Japanese design studio nendo has designed this coffee mugs for Starbuck's in Japan.
Sold at Starbucks branches throughout Japan, the mugs have a print on the bottom that makes it look like the cup is full of coffee. This means when they are drying or sitting upside down on your kitchen shelf, your cup will still seem brimming with coffee! Just be careful not to get confused over which end to drink from.
They cost 1,200 yen (about $12) and are available in either latte, caramel macchiato or Americano versions.
It's not the first time that nendo has worked with Starbucks brand in Japan. In late 2012 it created Starbucks Espresso Journey, a special pop-up shop in Tokyo dedicated to the chain's espresso drinks.
Visitors could learn more about lattes, cappuccinos and cafe mochas in the "library" space. It featured bookshelves with books in nine colors, each corresponding to a different drink.

Student sentenced to death for downloading womens rights documentSubmitted by lastmovement on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 02:36
What have we done to Afghanistan? Human rights isn't important in the democracy where spreading in the middle east.
Only a virtuous people
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.
As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
--Benjamin Franklin
It can be argued, for any who have looked into it, that based on teachings in the Koran, Islam is a vicious religion inherently only suited for masters and not freedom for its people.
But the spark within individuals to simply gather information, the scientist in all God's children to find out how the world really works and to discover all of what life really is, and to think and decide and draw their own conclusions, offers hope of corruption exposed to light and therefore replacement by virtue, eventually followed naturally by freedom.
"Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."
--George Washington
Just goes to show
that "democracy" isn't the issue. As sad as this is, their culture (muslim)is what it is and I for one DO NOT believe it will ever change. Afterall, whose country is it?
The US doesn't have a democracy, this is suppose to be a "Constitutional REPUBLIC' as guarenteed to the several states by the constitution................................

Fans of 'Shipping Wars' received devastating news when the show's star Roy Garber died of a heart attack at the young age of 49 on Jan. 17. Now, fans from all over the world are remembering the beloved star with sweet, emotional messages on his funeral guest book.
Roy Garber of the A&E hit Shipping Wars died of a heart attack on Jan. 17, leaving behind a son named Travis, a beloved longtime girlfriend, a cat named Muffy, and millions of mourning fans. Those fans have taken to Roy's online funeral guest book to remember the star, leaving hundreds of powerfully emotional messages that prove how fiercely Roy was loved.
'Shipping Wars' Fans Remember Roy Garber
So sweet. Roy's family has allowed fans worldwide to post messages about the dearly departed star on Legacy.com, and we cried all over our keyboards reading them!
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Roy Garber. We got to know him through his work on Shipping Wars and loved him. You will be missed," wrote Kirt and Tina Nichols of Swanton, Vermont.
"Rest in peace Royota," added Jon M. from Vancouver, Canada. "Loved watching you on Shipping Wars and will miss your humour. Keep the loads being shipped with your perfection up there. Perfect just like you. Over."
Tammy White of Roseville, Calif. left a very emotional message, noting that she was confident that Roy had gone to a better place.
"Roy, you will be missed," she said. "Even though we never met you in person, you were a weekly welcomed guest in our home. Your quick wittiness, and enjoyable sarcasm brought great enjoyment to us. We found your love for your travel companion muffy to be endearing & a peak thru your rough exterior- we are deeply saddened that you will no longer be our weekly guest. We are confident that Heaven welcomed you with open arms."
Many mourners mentioned Roy's beloved cat Muffy, a creature that the typically gruff Roy loved with all his heart.
"My heart is heavy," wrote Sue Hamlin of Stormville, New York. "RIP Roy. You will be greatly missed! My sincere condolences to Travis, your mom, your girlfriend, the staff at Shipping Wars and Uship, and to Muffy. You were a straight forward, no nonsense, and told it like it is type of guy. You were gruff yet you had such a soft spot for Muffy, which is highly admirable. You were taken away way too soon. Your family and Muffy are in my thoughts and prayers. You will be greatly missed."
"To the family and friends of Roy: I am so sorry for your huge loss," added Tracey Davidson of Lincoln, Nebraska. "He was my favorite member of the show and I really respected his honesty and work ethic. The world just isn't going to be the same. Muffy is always welcome in my home if she needs one. RIP Roy."
HollywoodLife sends thoughts and prayers to Roy's loved ones during this difficult time.
