Count me in. I love fighting games like Street Fighter, Tekken, Dead or Alive, etc. I'd love a copy of Soulcalibur for my iPhone
WOW. I used to waste SOOOOO many hours playing this game with my friend back in the day on Dreamcast. We got so crazy good at SC we used to do some 8 vs. 8 team battles with blindfolds on playing just by using sound and knowing each other's tendencies! Sign me up, I would love to win this and rekindle some old memories on my 4S!
Fingers crossed, hope I win!

Wasted too many quarters on this game back in the day.
Sweeeet! I can't wait to play the game I loved so many years ago & look forward to improving my poor attempts of poor lip syncing to my even poorer impression of an Asian accent "Let's fight" :-)

I can't wait for a decent Bluetooth controller so I can really enjoy this game again.

I was a HUGE fan of this game back in the arcade "hay days". Glad to see it's been made available on modern gaming platforms. Agree with other posters in that it seems an expensive price compaired to most other games on iOS.

Interviews are in Ilia's planning, no schedule so far but as things are published I'll post links here so you can be sure to read them. Ilia has spoken to the Krew about his planning and his ideas (some of which are reflected clearly on the Kulik's Skating website) - it's so interesting and inspiring, and always best in his words.
That said, if you want to get a better idea of how Ilia works and what some of his core values are, please read under "Testimonials" (on the Kulik's Skating website) the letters from Amanda and her mom. There are some very specific details there and I, for one, found their observations very interesting. So far nothing in that department about Katia but the website is only a week old. Also read through the offerings for Coaches, Adult Skaters and all those categories - he speaks to what he believes.
Last edited by Willowway; 09-08-2012 at 10:44 PM.
Actually, Sergei had it much harder. He could definitely skate as fast as Katia, but since he was so much taller, he was told to shorten the width of his stroke, so that it would match her much shorter legs. So, he had to try to skate as fast as possible with a contrived shorter stroke. That's kind of amazing in and of itself.
And a good one.Just a thought.
From what I saw on the website, the new skating center looks great. I don't know anything about skating competitively and I haven't watched skating on tv for a while (I was more of a fan in my younger years), but I do believe that regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and I think a skating center is good for any community to have. I like that they offer skating lessons for kids and adults, not just for competitive skaters. I think it's great to go and take classes just to stay fit and active. It provides a better alternative to many other things kids could be doing. The picture of Katia with the little kids is very cute. I'd take my kids to her classes if I were in the area. I'm sure she's great with them. I'm sure they'll iron out a few wrinkles as they road-test the website, so to speak, but it looks rather elegant to me, and as an old GG fan I was glad to read the part about GG in Katia's bit.
I wish them great success with this new business venture and I hope they find their niche in the community and can make a long-lasting, positive impact.
Back to the main topic on hand though, I love the second pic of Katia teaching the kids' skating class, she looks like she's having a blast.
It's under "Katia's Kids Class" http://www.kuliksskating.com/for-little-skaters.html
The second pic. Granted, the pic is really small, but it looks like she's having a great time.
I'm a little bit surprised that there's not more on Katia on the site. I know that this is Ilia's "baby," so to speak, but given how respected she is as a skater in the general skating community (arguably even more so than Ilia), I wonder if it's a purposeful decision on her part to take more of a background role. Then again, I never got the sense that she was as passionate about coaching as Ilia was, so it may be as simple as that.
To take beginning skating with Katia must be awesome! Her stroke technique is so sound, I'd love to learn her secrets!
First article with quotes by Kulik and Gordeeva about their new rink: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
An answer to the question about the ice rink size:
Ah, I just love this quote from Ilia.In order to make it figure skating only, the facility has a somewhat smaller ice surface. At 80-by-130, it's about two-thirds the size of an NHL rink
I wanted to just add that I really admire Katia & Ilia's attitude towards Liza's skating, and importance of maintaining a social life & getting an education. Both Katia & Ilia come across as people who take their role as parents very seriously and are able to recognize what's important in life."It's really important how you introduce the first five lessons," he said. "All the beginners who started with us so far said they're absolutely thrilled. We really can't wait to see them develop."
Coaches and choreographers who are U.S. Figure Skating and PSA members, and who have active liability insurance are welcome to operate at the facility. Freestyle sessions are open to those who meet the aforementioned criteria as well as their students, but it is imperative that they embrace the facility's sense of collaboration and openness.
"The sport is difficult enough," Kulik said. "Secrets are not the way to go."
BTW, am I the only person who's surprised there are still professional competitions? Anyway, Good luck to Ilia.

That is great how much value they place on the first skating experiences. I know for myself from helping out with group lessons and also our ice dance sessions here how important it is to make skaters feel special and enjoy the experience so they keep coming back. It is not only important as getting people into the sport and keeping them, but also as a marketing strategy. You want the customers to be happy.
I would love to be able to have lessons there.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
*catches self looking at Qantas' airfares to California....*
I especially liked this:
Yes, yes, YES! I see this so many times at my rink. Ooooh yay, I'm skating - thud. Waaaaaaaaah, that hurt! I don't wanna do this anymore!Kulik said safety is paramount for beginners because one or two bad falls can turn them off the sport before they've even started.
It's also, I find, primarily the biggest block for a lot of adults. I was talking to a couple on the weekend at the competition and the main theme was "I don't know how you do it - I'd be terrified to fall and hurt myself." And it can be really hard because not everyone takes on that mindset - or understands that mindset - of "falling is learning".
While I can understand that mindset/fear...perhaps something needs to be done in terms of adult skaters and addressing this concept that getting seriously injured skating is so easy to do? I've never seen a single broken bone at my rink in the two years I've been skating, and that's every level from Tiny Tot to Senior.

Let's be honest, Vermont gets bitter.
So when designing the NEW [ak] VT Jacket we felt that if this insulator could work here, then it would excel in your neck of the woods, too. Synthetic PrimaLoft® insulation provides down-like warmth that's engineered to provide maximum heat with minimal volume. DRYRIDE coated water-repellent fabric breathes and sheds precip when lapping runs or walking to the corner store. Add the convertible comfort of a removable hood and you get a versatile piece that works as a fair weather jacket, packable insurance layer, or under-shell insulator on those bitter cold days.

A performance oriented, articulated fit with cutlines and patterning engineered to mimic the body's natural flex while riding and hiking. The result is a higher degree of mobility that enhances the function-first design and style of [ak].
VT Snowboard Jacket
If you're always cold, look no further than our warmest outerwear.

At 67, Carolyn Bohm has had a foretaste of some of the major challenges looming for Canadian baby boomers: job disruption, tight finances, caring for an elderly parent.
Summertime and the living is easy. That is unless you are a teenager experiencing one of the essential initiations into adulthood; toiling away at a summer job. The range of exciting opportunities have not changed all that much for our youth and I think this is a good thing: there is nothing like serving up burgers or pumping gas during long hot days to get young people thinking about what they really want to do with the rest of their lives. But what has changed for many families is the necessity of summer jobs for the family teens and, as a consequence, gone too is that first job's critical role in helping young people learn about managing their own money. It goes without saying that when cash was scarce and allowances non-existent, even the surliest teenager was motivated to mow lawns or babysit in order to earn money for a coveted bicycle or the latest Beatles release. Some enterprising youngsters even turned these odd jobs into full-fledged enterprises and no doubt have since gone on to successful business careers.

On Being Blog
I'm conducting a tiny experiment: reading back-to-back biographies of Muhammad based on free books we got here at SoF: Tariq Ramadan's In The Footsteps of the Prophet, and Karen Armstrong's Muhammad: A Prophet For Our Time.
In the New York Times Magazine, renowned cognitive scientist Steven Pinker looks at the possible biological underpinnings to the human concept of morality. The wonderful public radio show Radio Lab also explored this issue a while back in one of their episodes.
A poignant tale of Rabbi Heschel handling discrimination with humor and humanity.
One of the most difficult aspects of working at Minnesota Public Radio is that I often don't get a chance to listen to public radio on the weekdays, especially during working hours. Thanks to a new baby boy, I was actually able to listen to a documentary on Alzheimer's disease by a colleague and former producer at SOF, Brian Newhouse.
It's a wonderfully crafted piece that's full of facts and figures and scientific experts discussing the problems and approaches to treating and curing the disease. But, the part that sang to me, is a follow-up interview with a man in his 40s who describes the way he communicates with his wife now that he is home-bound:

Microsoft makes Windows Phone commercial, sells iPhone instead
Microsoft has released a new commercial for the Windows Phone Nokia Lumia 920, and in it they show off both Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung's Galaxy S. A lot. So much, in fact, it's hard to know what the commercial is about until the very end, when the Lumia 920 finally makes an appearance. Anyone outside Microsoft see the problem there?
The theme is: Don't fight. Switch. The setting is a wedding where the groom and the bride's side both use different phone platforms, and quickly get into a heated, and pretty funny war of insults that escalates into full-blown Mobile Kombat. When nothing but dust and decimation remains, the waiters wonder if Lumia couldn't just help them all get along.
Here's what Microsoft's Michael Stroh had to say on the Windows Blog:
I chuckled when I first saw the spot. As you'll see, it plays off the strong—even irrationally strong—feelings some of us harbor about the technology in our purses and pockets. You might recognize someone you've met among the wedding guests. You might see shades of yourself. I sure did—and smiled.
I did as well. And it wouldn't be out of place on a late night comedy show. Actually, it would kill as comedy. But this isn't comedy, it's the real, brutal, smartphone market, and here is that Microsoft is promoting Apple and Samsung over their own brands, and that's exactly what happens to them in the market already. Apple had a "switcher" campaign for the Mac many years ago, and while they had a generic "PC" character, he was seldom if ever branded, and there certainly wasn't ever any recognizable, competing hardware in the frame.
Ultimately, however, I didn't really end up caring any more about Windows Phone than I did at the beginning, and that makes it a pretty ineffective commercial. Give it a watch and tell me what you think. Anything there that's better than, I don't know, say Microsoft actually releasing an XPhone Halo edition?

I just watched it over at android central. I think it shows the great features of both iOS and Android, but doesn't show any thing of substance about the M$ phone. It does show the bickering in a humorous light though.
Yes it's like the clickety-clack Microsoft Surface commercials that showcase no features nor functions of the device. Too bad it doesn't show the waiters taking photos of the brawl & sending them to Instagram... d'oh!
Rene, I have to disagree with you here big time as I think you missed the point.
Ads are not to understood in a vacuum. Nor are they meant to "sell" the device. They're meant to pique interest in the consumer--that's advertising 101. You only have 30/60 seconds to get and maintain viewer's attention--it's rarely about the product, it's about the image. C'mon, channel your inner Drapper ;)
All winter/spring Microsoft has been running Windows Phone 8 commercials on TV ad nasuem. Those were the Jessica Alba/Gwen Stefani ones focusing on the Tiles/personal aspect of the phone. This ad takes a very different approach: humorous, entertaining, poking fun at their rivalries. It's so that people who see the ad will be aware of Windows Phone next time they walk into an AT&T or Best Buy "Oh, that's that yellow phone I saw on TV the other day".
There isn't a single 30 or 60 second ad that has in and of itself sold a product. It's part of a broader image and campaign, but if you view just in isolation you can pick it apart.
The fact is, it's a fun(ny) ad and gets people talking. It's no different than Samsung's iSheep ad making fun of Apple fans waiting in line and we all see that Samsung is riding mighty high today off of that line of attack.
"Microsoft is promoting Apple and Samsung over their own brands"
If you think that was "promoting" Apple and Samsung over their brand as oppose to satire, ergo making fun of them, then I'm not sure what to say exactly. All I know is satire can be very effective.
The fact that you have a article talking about a windows phone ad on a iphone site tells me this ad worked.
But it doesn't tell everybody that. I showed it around, not a single person I knew said it was a Windows ad.
It worked but only in so far as it grabbed attention. It didn't promote what it was designed to promote.
Wait a min Emeroid, you showed this ad (the 1 min ad, that spent the last 15 seconds showing a close up of the windows phone and talking about it), and no one knew what the ad was about???? Did they speak english?
I agree Rene. I'd add that Windows Phone, and windows 8 in general has some weird marketing behind it. Hard to tell who there targeting. No real clear message. And no real effort. Like they're confident the product will sell itself.
Leaving the road for blackberry to dominate that #3 spot all day long.
I'll admit I would probably buy a halo Xphone.
I showed my wife, a Windows Phone 8 user, this commercial. We laughed. It was a funny commercial, I'll give it that. We laughed about the guy yelling at Siri for karate, old people with iPhones, and we made fun of the old Samsung "yep, simple as that," commercial by touching our phones together. Then I asked her what she learned. She said mainly Galaxy phones can share by touching. But the real telling thing here? 20 seconds after it was over she asked, "Wait, was that a commercial for my phone?" And this was after my encouragement to watch it and pay close attention.
This ad has now been featured on every site I have visited this morning. And it is the first WP ad that has done that. Sure, there have been ads focused on the superior Lumia camera technology, the ease of use vs. competing platforms, etc. I do not remember a single one of those, though I know I saw them.
This is the best WP ad yet.
It was a glorified Nokia Lumia 920/pro AT&t ad, and clearly a blatant attack against any carrier which does not sell Nokia devices (more especifically the Qualcomm based CDMA carriers, which Microsoft is treating as unwanted stepchildren since they dropped Windows Mobile for Windows Phone).
Coincidence? I say No. This was a message to the OEMS and carriers not participating that Nokia and AT&T are their preferred OEM and Carrier. What would be next?
I can see both sides of the argument. On reflection, however, I think where the ad really failed in its message is that it was this: "People are passionate - to the point of violence - about iPhone and Android/Samsung (what great phones they must be to inspire such emotion). Windows Phone, on the other hand, is for dispassionate waiters who watch other people living their lives, but never join the party/fight."
I was going to write a reply arguing this was a great commercial (I have and love my Lumia 920), but now I think I agree with Renee. My first thought was "Hey, just like the commercials Samsung used to gain traction", but then I realized that this commercial doesn't show a single feature of the 920 except it comes in red and yellow. If they just added a few more shots of the phone, how it simply integrates all the social media for sharing such an epic event etc. that would have been great. As it is... not so much.
Besides, that commercial of Microsoft was a glorified Nokia/AT&T commercial than anything else, a point which Rubino misses. If it was Samsung making a glorified commercial for the Ativ S, or what ever exclusive device they have in store for Sprint, he will see your point.
Once again, Daniel showing his Pro Nokia/Pro AT&T bias, yet he won't admit it nor say why microsoft is attacking one of their partners. Perhaps because Samsung and Apple are doing what Nokia clearly refuses to do for the CDMA community (and please, Verizon is not the only national CDMA carrier on postpaid and prepaid).
Those celeb ads were nice, but didn't make me want their phones. Even the old PowerBook ads, I never believe the celebrity actually uses the product 90% of the time. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago, No Doubt posted a picture on its official Instagram feed of Gwen and Tony, writing songs, in the studio. A MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4/4S with them. Granted, the iPhone could have been Tony's, but no Windows phone in site.
Daniel Rubino, that's great observation. Agreed.
Actually, his observations are clearly BLURRED beyond logic due to his pro Nokia/AT&T bias. I bet he would be bashing Samsung if they had a similar ad glorifying the Ativ S and a carrier like US Cellular or perhaps Sprint!
The problem with the satire in the advert is that it's ambiguous regarding the path to the goal; That Lumia is the answer.
For the target demographic, first time smartphone customers, one could take away the message that if you buy Apple or Samsung you're going to love it so much that you could become dysfunctional.
What if the roles were switched to Coca-Cola and Pepsi with RC Cola in for Lumia? Do you really think you'd be driven to try RC? I think you'd be reminded you want a Coke instead.
That ad was awful for windows phone.
Apple's logo got as much air time as Microsoft's. still, funny
I liked the ad, especially its lighthearted silliness (I can't get the Apple tattooed on some dudes flabby chest, who then gets decked, out of my mind) - but I have to agree at least in part. The Nokias at the end were essentially a punchline, and if you don't stick around for the whole ad you won't get it.
Basically we needed to see WP and/or Nokia earlier in the piece.
Windows Phone's biggest problem is Windows 8. I've been using it for about a month now, and while it's not horrible, it doesn't move me to switch from iOS to Windows 8 -- it makes me appreciate my iPad/iPhone even more. Prior to getting Windows 8, I'd thought about going all-Windows... not any more, regardless of what advertising is done by Microsoft.
Windows 8 is not the same at Windows Phone 8. Fortunately WP8 works well on a phone; Win8 works on tablets and is a work-in-progress on a desktop.
(WinPhone refugee with an iPhone 5 due to the app gap)
Duh... Regardless, as I said, Windows 8 steers potential users away from WindowsPhone. Thanks though for stopping by ;-)
That commercial may not have show cased the Lumia as much as it could have but that was one fricken hilarious commercial. I loved it. I do not, however, like the Surface commercials. Those bug the ever loving heck out of me.
Note to Microsoft marketing department: you mention iPhone, you lose.
It's that simple.
I can't believe everyone is arguing about the whether or not the commercial is effective...doesn't that kind of prove the commercial's point?
People on mobile nations discuss everything, just because you see a topic here, or even on all tech blogs accross the Web, doesn't mean an average consumer will even notice it
I liked it, good for a laugh. Didn't make me want a windows phone but made me want to see a battle like this first hand, it would be hilarious to watch. "search karate" that's awesome.
i still prefer iphone because i think is better and have a better design, i mean all people may have a different opinion, but i think this commercial is just hilarious, at least they weren't like samsung galaxy ads vs the iphone
Funny...but not much else in my opinion. At least the Samsung ads pointed out features that were either on the Galaxy S3, or ones that the iPhone lacked.
Except for those off-color (literally) bad-comedy ads with people standing in line at Apple stores. But yeah, the Seth Rogen / Paul Rudd Superbowl ad was great.
It is definitely a chuckler of a commercial, and I agree that it doesn't help Microsofts cause at all. It's a head scratcher how bad MS fumbles with mobile technology even in their ads with all the resources they have.
The wife and I with our non expert marketing backgrounds thought it was hilarious and a great commercial for Windows Phone
I think it's brilliant. I showed this ad to my dad (who still uses a flip phone, and has no idea what siri or Bluetooth is) and he was horrified buy the behavior. He and I and I'm sure each of you work with or know people exactly like that. To him it portrayed fanboys in a bad light, like the windows phone user was the only sane one in the crowd. He was outnumbered but sane. To the tech savvy crowd we are debating and posting about how "our" phone was pictured more, and how Microsoft needs to work on advertising. HELLO!!! We are all giving them far more PR than they could have achieved with this ad alone. On a competing platforms fan site no less. If you ask me "Mission Accomplished"
You're probably reading too much into it. Its clearly a windows phone advert.
But, it'd have been better if they omit the names of the phones they were "bashing" like Samsung has done. Just not show them, strongly elude to them though. They'd have been better subtle "burns" this way.
I think its just the worst marketing when you feature another company in your advert. Windows and Samsung should have more original ideas.
did Microsoft just made a fool of themselves..
proud to be isheep !
*takes out my red pen and rolls up my sleeves*
Every time I've seen this commercial, it's been after one of the other commercials (Grant Hill, Gwen Stefani, etc.) I think this is a great marketing strategy. You may not be able to tell from the beginning that it's a Windows phone commercial but you know for sure that it is not an iPhone or Samsung commercial.
I didn't think that the branding for Nokia was strong enough but I did think that it was a Lumia commercial. In other words, it may not have been a Windows phone commercial but it certainly was one for the Lumia, specifically. I'm just not sure that the Lumia name was as prominent as, say, the Apple logo on the dude's chest.
I have had an iphone since the 3G was introduced. I am not bashing iphones or iphone users. But this is why so many people make fun of Apple fans. The ad was bashing iphones. the only feature that is showed was a man trying to get Siri to work (with no luck). But somehow, many people on here think the ad was positive for Apple? Did you really see a positive view on the features of the iphone in that ad?
Keep reaching bruh bruh.....trying to get Siri to magically teach him karate and it didn't work, how will Apple ever live that down!!??!!??
A better & more relevant swipe at Apple would have been if they had the guy asking Siri for directions out of the fight to safety and it gave him the wrong ones or something along those lines. Meaning, most average users know about Apples (overblown IMHO) shortcomings with their Maps app, but not that Siri has network/parsing errors.
The only thing that part of the commercial did was make me think of the ending of "Meteor Man" when they touched the books during the fight scene. METEOR MAN FTW!!!!!!!!
First off I'm an iphone user and probably will be for the foreseeable future, but this ad was made for the Superbowl. Microsoft doesn't really care about features at this point. They're just trying to get people to realize that there's another really good phone out there while taking shots at the IOS and Android users. This is just one ad. They'll spend millions in other ads down the road promoting features. This one did exactly what it was supposed to do. Make people laugh and remember the Windows Phone 8. Ha ha ha ha. So funny :)
This is a good commercial. Now if Microsoft could just make products just as good.
Major fail. Hilarious but I didn't learn anything of substance about the phone.
Some of you apparently missed the point of the commercial. Humor. "Don't fight. Switch."
"Search karate! Karate!" LOL!
Ad is fun, but it doesn't give the right perspective of the topic, the Windows Phone 8. Main problem is that Microsoft threw Nokia about a decade back in development history. On user perspective, it doesn't mean a thing, if the phone's OS is iOS or Android or Windows Phone or anything else. The main thing is the usability and for what purpose the phone is purchased for. I'm using currently Lumia 920 and N8, I can honestly say that both of them are amazing products, both of them will be excellent chooses. So there will be something available for ever one, go and check them out by yourself.
The title of this article doesn't make sense. In the commercial it shows the Samsung phones as the "cooler" better option, and that iPhones are for old people and are a "one trick pony". How does it sell iPhone instead?
Anyway, although I have had both, Android smokes Apple iOS, I still think this commercial was great. Very funny. However, I don't think anyone that has the capability of Android in their hands would jump to Windows. Not yet anyway. Windows has a long way to go.
I agree with Rene. This ad just doesn't work. It shows other phones and puts them in the eyes of the audience. It shows the War of the Fanboys.
Most of the people here that says that it works, well, it works for them because they are following the technical side of the things. Reading blogs, following companies products and know about this Nokia way before the AD. Basically they are geeks.
But take a common 13-15 year old girl, that cares only about clothes and glitter, would she ask her father to buy her Nokia phone once she sees this AD? No. M$ need to find out a way to be attractive, just like Samsung, they are trying to make the competition look bad, instead of make themselves looking good. And this is the power of Apple, or at least it was not so long ago.
First off I'm an iphone user and probably will be for the foreseeable future, but this ad was made for the Superbowl. Its clearly a windows phone advert. But, it'd have been better if they omit the names of the phones they were "bashing" like Samsung has done.

|Raymond W. Gusa, 92
|Written by TRF Times
Middle River - Raymond William Gusa died on Thanksgiving Day morning, November 25, 2004, at the age of 92.
Funeral services were held on Monday, November 29, at First Lutheran Church in Middle River, with Pastor Curt Matz officiating.Casket bearers include Raymond's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Interment was held at First Lutheran Cemetery in Middle River.
Raymond William Gusa, the son of the late George and Martha (Wartenberg) Gusa, was born on April 12, 1912, in Seattle, Wash. At the age of 2, he moved with his family to a farm in Spruce Valley Township of Marshall County, near Middle River and Holt, where he attended school and grew to manhood. Ray was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith.
On December 5, 1943, he was united in marriage to Marion Backlund at the Nazareth Lutheran Church in Holt. Following their marriage, the couple lived and farmed in Spruce Valley Township. Ray was a long-time member of First Lutheran Church of Middle River, serving on the church council, singing in the choir, and served as a Synod delegate. He served on the Middle River Co-op Oil Board for several years and as clerk of the Spruce Valley Town Board. In 1977, he retired from farming which gave him time to enjoy his garden, riding his bike, traveling and fishing.
He was a member of the Holt Keenagers and the Middle River Senior Citizens Group. In 1988, he was selected as Marshall County "Outstanding Senior Citizen" and in 2002, was a State of Minnesota "Ageless Hero." Ray enjoyed woodcrafts, rug making, and knitting. Ray never worked on a Sunday. Marion passed away November 2, 2000, and since January of 2001, Ray had resided at the Valley Home in Thief River Falls.
He is survived by one son, William (Diane) of Mount Vernon, Wash.; five daughters: Joan (Verdell) Anderson, of Park Rapids, Sharon (Wayne) Smith of Warroad, Catherine Burkholder of Hendersonville, N.C., Carolyn (Terry) Miller of Barron Wis. and Martha (Stephen) Jonland of Proctor; 16 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; one brother, James of Elk River; in addition to several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
Ray was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, one brother: Ted, and two sisters: Edna and Linda. A00003B2004DC01

Military chaplains at Joint Base-Fort Sam Houston kicked off their holiday giving this year with a family-style dinner for all the chaplains and their staff members on the post.
Col. Chaplain Terry Whiteside volunteered to be the turkey for the day, bringing some light-hearted fun to the chaplains' pre-Thanksgiving dinner.
"This is a great opportunity to let our hair down, what little we have, and just enjoy life and each other," Whiteside said.
As the holidays draw near, I begin to look forward to a tradition at home. Each year we sit down and watch "Mickey's Christmas Carol." And despite the fact that my kids are growing older, we never grow tired of watching.
Hundreds of friends, family and supporters crowded into a San Antonio College gymnasium Saturday to hear the words everyone has anticipated from State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio. Following a performance by a mariachi band that included Van de Putte's brother, and a brief introduction by daughter Nicole, a doctor, the veteran lawmaker made it official.
Forty people in downtown San Antonio are camping out at Geekdom this weekend in an exercise called "3DS," or three day start-up.
Starting Friday and running through Sunday night, members are broken up into teams and assigned to come up with ideas for a business.
Cristal Glangchai runs 3DS San Antonio, and is also the creator of the entrepreneurship academy Venture Lab. The 3DS concept originally began in Austin but came to the Alamo City in 2010.
The Magik Theatre begins its holiday season with a program they've done before. It's called "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," a kind of morality tale pitting the bad kids against the good kids.
"It's really a comedy, but eventually you realize it's a comedy with a heart," said the Magik Theatre's Marketing Director Aimee Stead.
"These children, through this pageant and through this experience, learn a lot about generosity, love, and really seeing the good in other kids," Stead said.
Becky King has the pleasure of playing one of the bad kids from the Herdman family.
Fronteras: The undocumented family members of military personnel are set to have an easier time gaining legal status, thanks to a new federal policy. Navajo Nation casinos stimulate the economy, but at a cost. As the nation remembers the last tragic day of JFK's presidency, many Latinos of that era reflect on what he meant to their emerging political bloc. Migrants say Border Patrol dentition cells are dangerously cold, so cold they call them "freezers."
A small Bexar County community trying to become its own city was denied the area of land it wanted after the San Antonio City Council voted to keep it within the city's extra territorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
The community of Sandy Oaks is neighborhood with about 4,000 people that is located at loop 1604 and I-37. It falls right within the ETJ of San Antonio, which is the area the city can absorb later if it decides to do so.
Polo, the game much loved by the British Royals, has a murky history. No one is quite sure where it originated, but modern polo was formalized by the British in India. Normally played on polo ponies (although they are actually horses), the game involves men riding up and down a field, wielding a long handled stick called a mallet, hitting a small round ball. Fairly fast speeds can be attained, and injuries are not infrequent.
The Playhouse comes off of their production of "Les Miserables" to tackle an old standard: "Guys and Dolls," which has been done multiple times on Broadway, and of course, in Hollywood.
On Friday, December 6, The Playhouse mounts its production at the Russell Hill Rogers Theatre.
"It has such a solid cast," said Chris Berry, who plays Sky Masterson. Berry talked about how tough -- and fun -- it is to tackle a classic:

Former Ballon d'Or champion Lionel Messi says Cristiano Ronaldo deserved to win the 2013 prize in Zurich on Monday.
Messi had won FIFA's player of the year award for the past four years but the 26-year-old Argentine forward conceded injuries meant he was not up to his usual standards in 2013.
The Barcelona striker missed a chunk of games towards the end of the 2012-13 La Liga season with a hamstring injury, with a similar problem leaving him on the sidelines through November and December.
"It (2013) was a not really good year for me," Messi said.
"It was very complicated not just for the injuries but also for many other things surrounding my family and what people said about me.
"But, hopefully, 2014 could be a good year without any injuries and then we can forget about everything."
Messi hailed Real Madrid's Ronaldo after finishing second behind the Portuguese forward in the Ballon d'Or voting, while Bayern Munich's French winger Franck Ribery claimed third.
"It (the Ballon d'Or) is a very important prize, and like I said in the press conference before I am very happy to be amongst the three best players and for me it is a prize," Messi said.
"Like I said, Cristiano won it and he deserved to win."
Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who won the Puskas Award for the goal of the year, declared his club Paris Saint-Germain can win the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League.
Ibrahimovic won the Puskas Award for his audacious 30-yard overhead kick, while playing for Sweden against England in November 2012.
The 32-year-old striker has scored 61 goals in 72 games since joining PSG in 2012 and reckons the Ligue 1 club can improve on their quarter-final exit in last season's Champions League.
"I think in the Champions League everything can happen, we have the potential to win it, but who will win it, you never know," Ibrahimovic said.

After a Saturday night freezing fog near Amity, Or, ice crystals decorated the world outside and transformed this chain link fence into a piece of art. This natural exhibition adorned every tree and blade of grass in dramatic style, but so fragile that when the temperature rose in the evening by just a few degrees, the show was over in minutes.

Heated sidewalks provide sparks for workers
A heated sidewalk to melt snow and ice was "quite the thing" a half century ago in a small town like Somerset. This town's first and only electrically warmed sidewalk was installed facing Fountain Square alongside First and Farmers National Bank when the bank's downtown headquarters building was constructed in 1963-64.As snow fell, the warm sidewalk melted a walkway about 2 feet wide alongside the bank. It was the talk of the town; quite a gimmick.

I remember when you could actually work on your own car. When appliances lasted 30 years and not clunk out a week after the warranty expires. I remember when being an entertainer required some talent, and kids were allowed to fail.
I remember Tom and Jerry, Heckle and Jeckle, Clutch Cargo, Frazier Thomas, Mighty mouse, Mr. Green Jeans. I remember when you could insult your worst enemy and not have it become a national security issue. I remember when clothes were hand me downs and designer duds were only for the well to do. I remember when having a curfew ment just that, not 10 minutes later, not call me if you'll be late. I remember when doing choirs around the house was a given, not negotiable. I remember when musical groups had some talent either singing or song writing. I remember when playing dodge ball or other school yard games didn't involve lawyers.
Bears.....superbowl ? About as much chance as the Cubs winning the world series.

But when a glove has a bomber-tough DRYRIDE Ultrashell™ 2L fabric, midweight Thermacore™ insulation, and a quick-drying and toasty fleece lining…well, you have no choice but to call a warm, weatherproof glove warm and weatherproof. It's nothing personal, but that's just what the highly versatile, bestselling Burton Profile Under Glove is: warm and weatherproof. Screen Grab™ sweetens the deal, offering easy surfing with any touchscreen device.

How to Select
How to select Track Lighting
Track lamps provides perfect focus lighting that is great for decorative purposes both indoors and out. Because selecting such fixture can be a difficult task, Westside Wholesale has prepared a simple guide to help you.
The first thing that you need to do before selecting any track lighting fixture is specify the amount of such fixtures, their overall wattage and installation space that they require. Knowing the information from the above will help you calculate the budget and stick with it in the future.
Most track lighting devices are installed outside the ceiling area and use the mounting accessories that come in a kit with the fixture. If your track lighting fixture doesn't have any installation accessories within the kit, finding them will not be a problem.
The next thing to consider is the design of the future track lighting. Since such fixtures are mainly used to showcase artwork or decorative elements of the interior, they have to be stylish and match the existent décor of the room.
In addition to design, determine the lighting needs before you select any track lighting fixtures. Depending on the purpose of such item that may vary from general light source to accent lighting, select the type that suits the most. This step is really easy to complete since all of the track lighting fixtures have the required information listed in the description. Don't forget about flexibility if you want to be able to adjust the light beam of your future fixture.
Now it's time to think about the housing type and its compatibility with an existing system. Before you select a track lighting fixture, it is important to see if they have a housing that complies with the system's requirements.
After that, you might want to pay attention to quality and price once again. It's imperative that you do not select the cheapest option that you see. Sure, this might save you money at the moment, but it will result in more money spent in the future.
There are countless available track lighting options from industry's top brands; you just need to spend some extra minutes to find them. Always select the lighting fixture that has a warranty and offers the best features among other fixtures within the same price range.
What is the most efficient and reliable type of track lighting?
LED lights are recognized as the most efficient type that exists today. Countless lighting features that they offer, along with efficiency, long life and environmental friendliness, make them the best option to install in every lighting fixture, not necessarily track one.
