Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 378
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janet01 Pluses and minuses
The shuttle van is a big plus with this resort as parking downtown can be a challange. Each room is a suite.The beach is directly across the street with easy access. The resort was prety quiet except for the guest's dogs constant barking and wooden walkways. The pool was adequate, but lounge chairs were scarce during the sunlight hours. Limited ocean view rooms.(21/194 rooms). Designated smoking areas need to be enforced.

Rated 4 out of 5 by worldtravelerSPG Good, not great
At the price and description, I expected two things:
1) The hotel would be directly on the beach
2) The hotel would be in close to all the real activity on the island (ie Mallory Square
Hotel is close to the beach, across busy road from their man made beach. Not horrible, just not what I had expected.
Hotel is WAY away from Mallory Square (ie not even really walk-able). So, they have a shuttle system to downtown. This again is ok, but not what you really want from a Key West experience.
Biggest negative? We (along with 6 others) could not get onto the 1:45pm shuttle back to the hotel - people get pushy when boarding and bull right past you if you aren't aggressive enough. The driver said he was calling a different driver, walked off to talk on his cell, came back and said someone would be there for us in 10 minutes. We all waited in the hot sun for the next hour until the next shuttle arrived - you better believe we were more aggressive that time. Shame. If your driver says 10 mins, it should be 10 mins.
As a Platinum member with Ambassador status, I hold the properties to a higher standard - so this one is good, just not great.

Rated 3 out of 5 Out of the way but close to beach
I recently stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in Feb. The weather was really great, the overall property was pretty well kept. The rooms are a bit dated but big, rust, dirt, cracking is prevalent but the grounds and pool area are well kept. This property is right across from Smathers beach so if you plan on using the beach, this is the hotel for you. If you want to be close to downtown action, they have a shuttle but it becomes a war to get on before everyone else. Staff that I encountered at the pool and shuttle drivers are VERY RUDE. In fact, I was convinced they tried to be rude on purpose. You can have a good time here if you stay outdoors, at the beach, and don;t expect pleasant people.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Schaefer65 Love the Beach across the Street
Our party was a total of 8 guest, and we loved the beach across the street, free shuttle daily, the pool was nice and the rooms were nice, and Thank you for the Free Internet. One SAD note: The manager/host at the morning Buffet could use ALOT of training on making the guest feel welcome (she would NOT accommodate our party of 8) during our stay. Everything else was very nice and yes I would stay at this Sheraton again. Thank You for the memories.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ValiantCruiser Could be a better value
For the money they charge (including resort fee) they should provide more services.
There's no free wifi.
Lobby area felt smaller.
We had to walk quite a bit to go to our room.
I liked the staff who was running the shuttle to and from downtown.
Given it's location, I'd suggest look somewhere else as you can find better options and pay less.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RoadTrip2012 Very relaxing & comfortable
This was the 3rd of 4 Starwood hotels we stayed at on our month long roadtrip and it was, by far, our favourite. Initially, we thought we might regret not being within walking distance of Duval, but that turned out to be a positive. The complimentary shuttle service was very convenient and made Duval Street accessible without being in the middle of the chaos 24/7. Munisa at check-in was efficient and made sure we had all the info we needed to navigate the hotel and the area. The best surprise for us, was that the beach and boardwalk were right across the road. What a great way to start the day. Our room was wonderful...spacious, spotless and well stocked and Iliana kept it that way during our stay. Unfortunately we were only there for 2 nights. Next time we will stay longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty33 this Hotel has great location
Across from the beach, shuttle into town, great spot

Rated 4 out of 5 by caro325 Great location away from downtown
We spent one night here due to flight cancelations, after spending three nights on the other side of the island. Loved this location, the beauty of the ocean, bike trail along the coast, and nearby piers for watching sunsets.

Last winter I received a pair of vintage cotton handkerchiefs. They were a starched, pristine white, trimmed with a dainty scalloped edge. But, what to do with such perfect canvases? I knew the answer when I stumbled upon photos of a brooch found by Jane of Posy blog - Jane's coworker's pin featured a stout little robin conjured from wool stitches. I couldn't keep myself from fashioning a feathered fellow of my own. Though I'm not much of an embroiderer I've always admired its intricacy and beauty, revering the patience and precision of those that master it. Of course my round little robin, looking quite dapper in chestnut, coral and cream, needed some foliage to lark about in. I freehanded a simple little arrangement of spiraling tendrils and teal blue cornflowers, creating an enframing "meadow" for Robin and echoing the pattern in the opposite corner. I'm quite pleased with how the natural yet vibrant color palette looks on crisp white, perhaps one of these languid summer days I'll find the resolve to sit down and embroider the second handkerchief to match.

Red Tape
During the final term of this past school year, I decided to apply to the design program at my current university as a change of major. Unfortunately I was not accepted, however I thought I'd document the experience here since it is nonetheless a part of my creative journey - not to mention it involves some paper goods. As for me, I'll continue to be the history and art history student you all know me as, meanwhile fearing for the practicality of these degrees post graduation. In any event, I'm resolved not to give up on a career that incorporates creativity and design. I've been researching options for acquiring some formal arts training after I've finished up my B.A. degrees. Any advice is certainly welcome!
And now, to the application materials. I must say, I truly hate applying to anything so in an effort to make the task more appealing, I thought I'd spend a little time on creative presentation. To hold everything I made a solid red manila-sized envelope complete with a string-and-button closure and self-designed address labels. The sleeve that houses a red portfolio CD is double sided so the interior's tiny polka dots show through the circular vellum window. Finally, patterns and color palette are repeated on the personal statement page and cover sheet (not pictured).

Of Pearls, Pears and Peacocks
Exams have ended and summer is officially here! I've been packing mostly and tying up loose ends, but not before pausing for a little photographic interlude. Snapshots taken on my first afternoon of summer, capturing the lush green and sultry elegance of the season...
I've been wanting to experiment with a faux "Through the Viewfinder" look for some time, and while looking for a tutorial I found the Noise and Dust Through the Viewfinder group on Flickr, established as a sort of texture database for use in layering over digital photos. The ones layered over my photos above are an altered mixture of the lovely work found here, here and here. I adjusted the colors a bit to achieve a deep brownish black, sepia tone, and also increased the saturation on my digital photos, to heighten the color visible through the haze of the overlaid viewfinder. Try some of these yourself, the look would be perfect for vintagey scrapbook pages.

About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on Jan. 5, 2012.

A Territorial Period Site in DubuqueMichael J. Perry Part I: Historical Background and Archaeological Surveys When he was finally able to enter his Dubuque claim, Dr. Langworthy probably was getting on in years, and apparently felt it best to include his son William as co-owner of the claim. William may have been the eldest son still living with his father at the time. Dr. Langworthy may also have been planning for future use of his property by his offspring after his death. By the late 1840s the original house was over 10 years old, and it was time for some major improvements. Dubuque had no brickmaker in the mid-1830s, but with the success of the local lead mining industry and the rapidly growing population, the construction industry and related trades also grew. By the 1840s, local brickmakers, for example, could supply construction brick that previously had to be shipped in from sources east of the Mississippi. Sometime in the late 1840s Dr. Langworthy replaced or extensively remodeled his original Dubuque house. But once again, first hand accounts of the timing and circumstances surrounding the Langworthy familys decision to reconstruct their dwelling escape us. What we do know is that much of the NW¼ of Section 11, T89N-R2E continued to be owned by Stephen Langworthys offspring until 1862, when transfer records show that the property passed out of the Langworthy family ownership. The importance of the Langworthy family in Dubuque history was never forgotten. James, Lucius, Edward, and Solon Langworthy each contributed to the development of Dubuque. Their influence also reached well beyond Dubuque when they helped build the military road from Dubuque to Iowa City. The towns of Solon and Langworthy along the route commemorate this achievement. But after 150 years, records of the family patriarchs tenure in Dubuque are scarce, and memories of Dr. Stephen Langworthy have faded. What was his life like in his senior years? Was he able to afford quality goods for use in his household? Answers to questions like these can only be found in the archaeological record at his homestead. The history of Dr. Langworthys claim started to emerge when modern cultural resource studies began in the northern Dubuque locality. Archaeologist Anton Till was conducting a survey of the locality in 1977 when he visited the occupants of an old house located on a farmstead in a hollow west of the Couler Valley (Figure 2). The two-story brick house with a prominent front gable, stone foundation, and stone lintels above the windows and front door appeared to date to the late 1840s. The residents of the house apparently were unable to provide much information on the early history of the house, and with other archaeological and historic era properties also needing his attention, Till was unable to pursue the history of the farmstead. The house was abandoned a few years later, and fell into disrepair. In the summer of 1996 the old house and several outbuildings
were torn down. I was conducting an archaeological survey of the lower
reach of Union Park Hollow that season while the demolition was in progress.
I knew that the house was fairly old because it corresponded to the
location of a house on several historical plat maps in the State Historical
Society of Iowas collections. The oldest map that showed any structures
in the area was dated 1874. Also, Tills report had estimated the age
of house, at that time, at about 130 years. View to the west of the old house taken in 1977. After the heavy equipment moved on and the dust had settled I took a closer look at the old house site. The house had been built on a terrace remnant at the juncture of two hollows carved into the bedrock west of the Couler Valley. Composed of alluvial deposits laid down late in the last glacial epoch, the terrace remnant stood about 10 feet above the floor of the hollow and covered not more than a quarter acre. The terrace remnant was located just downstream from a perennial spring emerging from the base of the bedrock bluff. A spot of bare ground, surrounded by a weedy bluegrass lawn and a U-shaped driveway, marked the spot where the house had stood. Scattered about were glass and ceramic fragments, and even a few chert flakes, indicating that Native Americans had found this an attractive location as well. My assistant, Beth Steele, and I collected some of the surface artifacts and excavated two shovel tests in the lawn area to provide a sample of material from undisturbed soils. The shovel tests yielded additional glass, ceramic, brick, and nail fragments, and a few more flakes. glossary Mary De La Garza, Web Master

I can hear Hubby Dear groaning. We are on the brink of Valentine's Day and he is devoid of imaginative ways to celebrate the day. The usual tributes bear their own degree of difficulty. Meal planning has caused chocolates and rich desserts to be verboten. Equally out of the question are roses that wilt before they are ensconced in a vase. Anything I might have needed or expressed as a yen has already been offered and received — with the possible exception of perfume that I typically declare to be too expensive! What's a guy to do?

There will be 11 certified appraisers, both specialists and generalists, to examine the treasures, and provide an estimate of their worth. Bring in up to three hand-carried items. The cost for a ticket is $7 per item or three tickets for $20. Tickets can be purchased at the door starting at 12:30 p.m. The appraisals will begin promptly at 1 p.m.
Salads have always been a part of our meals, especially at dinner. When you think of the word salad, an image of leafy greens probably comes to mind, but salad is just a general term that can refer to just about any dish that is dressed or tossed together.

Ferns, ferns, wonderful plants. Such an ancient group. They were around a long time before there were any dinosaurs. Their and their relatives' remains, fossilized, make up significant parts of the coal deposits around the world, and of course a good bit of the carbon in their plant bodies — too much, no doubt — is now floating around in the air, after being burned.
The Waterway Art Association will have a free watercolor workshop and paint-in featuring professor Fritz Kapraun at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19.
The event will take place at the new Brunswick Senior Resources Inc. (BSRI), 3620 Express Drive in Shallotte.
The program will highlight painting floral subjects.
Kapraun is a tenured faculty and professor of biology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He formalized a life-long interest in art through art instruction and workshops in Wilmington and Italy.
The Intracoastal Model Railroad Club (IMRRC) is holding a series of workshops and seminars at the new Calabash Marketplace, 10050 Beach Drive in Calabash.
The first one, "An Introduction to Model Railroading," is Saturday, Feb. 15, from 9 to 11 a.m.
The series is designed to increase public awareness of the club, educate young and old about the benefits of model railroading, and explain how to create layouts in their own homes for personal enjoyment, IMRRC administrator Don Woodwell says.

Singer/musician Elisabeth von Trapp, granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron von Trapp, whose story inspired "The Sound of Music," will perform in concert at 7 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 14, in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church, 410 Sixth Ave. S. in North Myrtle Beach.
This is an unticketed event. A love offering will be taken. The church opens at 6 p.m.

What price nationalism?
Economic outcomes before and after the break-up of Yugoslavia What are the costs of nationalistic policies? The expectations may be more optimistic than is warranted as the example of the breakup of Yugoslavia suggests. Assuming that nationalists expected that economic results would be better than in federal Yugoslavia, it makes sense to get some idea of what an alternative to a nationalistic strategy would have achieved in the last 20 years. The alternatives are nationalism vs. integration, not necessarily independence vs. federal Yugoslav state. That allows Slovenian development to be the basis for counterfactual simulations of where would have other Yugoslav states been had they followed its strategy of transition. This because (i) Slovenia opted for gradual transformation of the inherited Yugoslav institutions to those characteristic of the European Union (this is sometimes seen as a type of economic nationalism though in view of the next characteristic it is more of a gradualist strategy of transition) and that allows for an indirect evaluation of the Yugoslav institutions; (ii) chose to integrate with the EU and indeed the EMU, both as soon as possible, rather than pursue a protectionist, nationalistic strategy, which enables the comparison of these two strategies; and (iii) fared well, though not miraculously well, so its performance can be used as unbiased basis for comparative assessment of the price of nationalism.Download Info

1955 Alfa Romeo 1900C SSZ
Of all the Alfa Romeo 1900s, none is as desirable as the Zagato Berlinetta also known as the "esse esse zetas" or SSZ in short. 39 of these bespoke coupes were made specifically for racing. It matched Zagato's aerodynamic efficiency and light weight body deisgn with the most potent version of Alfa Romeos 1900 known as the Super Sport.

Described as "Originally delivered to racing cyclist Mario Binda in Milan on 5th August 1955, chassis '02056' was soon exported to the USA where by 1961 it was owned by one J C Edwards in California. At this time the engine block and cylinder head were replaced with Alfa Romeo 2000 equivalents, before the car was acquired by Jay Jacobs and then Philip Musser of Pt. Richmond. In the late 1980s well-known Alfa Romeo connoisseur Said Marouf purchased '02056' for his world class Alfa collection, entrusting it to multiple trophy winning restorers Paolo and Nino Epifani in Berkeley (CA) for a complete rebuild to the highest standards. Chassis '02056' was displayed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 1990 where it achieved third place in its class against the most intense competition in the world. Little used subsequently, it was acquired from Mr Marouf via Brooks/Bonhams by the former Dutch owner in January 2001 with only 2,000 post-restoration km showing on its odometer."

A black bear spotted last week near Central City is further evidence of the ever-increasing population of bears in Kentucky and how they are continuing to migrate further and further west.
Many of us can remember when black bears were extremely rare, if not nonexistent, in Kentucky. It was not so long ago that if you wanted to see a black bear in the wild, you needed to drive east into the mountains of neighboring West Virginia, which has always had a large number of bears.
But about 20 years ago, black bears began to move westward into eastern Kentucky. Their numbers now have become so great, that the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has begun to offer a limited bear hunting season in four southeast Kentucky counties during one weekend a year. While few bears have actually been killed by hunters during those brief seasons, wildlife officials and hunters agree that the bears are there; they are just proving more difficult to hunt than many thought they would be.
Meanwhile, reports of bears ravaging garbage cans at campgrounds and at rural residences have steadily increased in recant year, with campers being advised to protect their food supplies before retiring for the night. In some small mountain communities bears have become a real nuisance.
For the most part, the bears have remained in the eastern most areas of Kentucky, particularly in the southeastern corner of th state. But that is changing as evidenced by the black bear spotted near Central City. Despite its name, Central City is not in central Kentucky. It is in far western Kentucky, being much closer to Paducah than Lexington.
Residents near Central City first reported seeing a bear a week ago. Muhlenberg County Dispatch Center Director Kristi Jenkins says the first calls that came in Tuesday night reported the bear was near U.S. 431. On Wednesday morning, it was seen in the back yard of a home.
Central City Police Chief Brent Roberson says that was the last sighting despite officers patrolling the area looking for the animal. The homeowner "had a wildlife camera set up and he actually captured the bear on the video," Roberson said.
Although sightings of black bears aren't uncommon in eastern Kentucky, Roberson says it's "just not normal for this area."
However, that may be about to change. After all, last month, a family in an Ohio County — also in western Kentucky — reported seeing a black bear.
Residents need not be overly concerned. As folks in West Virginia already know, it is possible for humans and bears to peacefully live in the same area.
A definite trend
Black bears continue to move west as numbers increase

Denied a vote
What is it about members of the Kentucky General Assembly that makes them so reluctant to allow voters to make the final decision on important public issues? Don't they trust the ability of the people to have the intelligence and the ability to make the right decision?
Promise Zone
Uncle Sam's latest effort to combat poverty in eastern Kentucky will soon begin in eight counties in southeastern Kentucky. Here's hoping this program proves more effective at improving the economic health of this region than the programs launched a half century ago when President Lyndon Jonson came to eastern Kentucky to declare "War on Poverty."
Teaching welders
We offer a somewhat belated congratulations to Derek Hazlett, a welding instructor at the Carter County Career and Technical Center, for being one of only two recipients of the 2013 Carl J. Schaefer Memorial Award that honors career and technical education teachers.
Heroin is here
Just a few years ago, few could have ever imagined hosting two public forums on heroin use in Bracken County, the mostly rural county located along the Ohio River between Mason and Campbell counties. After all, at the time heroin was a drug problem in major cities like New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles but not in peaceful small towns like Brooksville and Augusta.
Efforts to contain white-nose syndrome have so far failed
Efforts by officials at Carter Caves State Resort Park to prevent white-nose syndrome from spreading among bats have so far failed. The same is true further west at Mammoth Cave, the world's largest cave system and the only national park in Kentucky.
Wrong changes
After ignoring previous efforts by the Kentucky House of Representatives to place a constitutional amendment automatically restoring the voting rights of most felons, a Kentucky Senate committee has finally approved a bill that, if approved by the full Senate, could lead to the amendment being placed on the November ballo
A record year
In what may surprise a lot of Kentuckians, the commonwealth set a new record for exports in 2013 with $25.3 billion in sales of Kentucky-made products and services. But it is no surprise to Gov. Steve Beshear and economic development leaders. After all, last year marked the third consecutive year the state has set new records in exports.
When a violent storm occurs in Kentucky, a state park may be one of the safest places you can be. That's because Kentucky is the first state in the nation to have all of its 34 state parks with overnight accommodations designated as "StormReady" by the National Weather.
You can now once again drive from Kentucky to any of its seven bordering states — Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virgina, Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri — without leaving the Bluegrass state

The choices are: PPM (what you want) PXX (the new protocol coming from FrSky) DSM2 (to be used only if you have removed the module from a Spektrum transmitter and installed it internally in the 9XR) PPM16 (a special protocol to allow 16 channels) |

Binding FrSky
Hold down the tiny button switch on the receiver (I use a straightened paperclip) and apply power. Release the button and the receiver should be flashing. Turn it off. (Note that it takes two people to do this if you are using the ESC as the receiver power supply. I always use a 4-cell NiMH battery pack with switch and I can do it my self quite comfortably.) Turn off the transmitter to get out of bind mode. Turn it back on, then turn on the receiver. You should get a solid light, indicating successful link. That's it. You should never have to bind the receiver again (unless you get a new module). Ignore all the advice about Spektrum receiver binding, as almost none of it applies to FrSky. To set failsafe, it's very important to go through a simple process. Turn on the transmitter and put the controls into appropriate positions. For me, this means low throttle and about 15% up elevator. The latter is mainly to give me a visual indication that failsafe occurred. With the transmitter controls set, turn on the receiver and press the button switch briefly. It should flash to acknowledge that it has accepted the failsafe settings. Turn everything off. I always test failsafe by turning off the transmitter, but I do it carefully, just in case it didn't work and the motor goes to high! I should say, that in 2 1/2 years with FrSky, I have never lost signal, never seen failsafe except in tests, and never had a problem binding or subsequently linking. That's the way it should be. EDIT: You have a V8 (one-way) receiver. Make sure the switches on the module are set correctly: 1 OFF, 2 ON. |

After multiple times losing control of my plane I took some of your guys advice and glued the gimbals connection. I flew approx 40min today with no control loss, but I did try to fly it out of range since I was flying a basher that has already taken a beating. I got approx a quarter mile before I lost my bind. Does that range sound right for a 9xr (ER9x) + Orange DSM2 Module + Orange R610 Rx? I could swear I got better range with my Dx6i, but wasn't able to test, because the basher needed some repair before it's airworthy again.
Feb 09, 2013, 04:31 PM | ||
Bind is done when you teach the receiver the identity of your transmitter. Pretty much a one time thing. Connection happens every time the receiver finds that transmitter. A common mistake confusing the two, which leads to further confusion when trouble shooting. |

" I think that it's awful when people misinterpret my being uncomfortable as 'I don't want to be here.' It's really the opposite — I'm too concerned. I absolutely love it so much. I don't expect to seem cool to everyone; nor do I want to be. I think that's the opposite of the definition of cool. So I don't care at all. It's like, 'you absolutely despise me and you don't even know me.' "

Today on my virtual book tour Vanessa Gebbie performs the amazing feat of getting me to abandon my long-held principle of not talking about which bits of a story are from my own life. As readers of my blogs will know, I believe that in general such discussion about fiction are reductive and even damaging, since fiction is greater than the sum of its parts - and anyway, 'fact' and imagination are so blended in fiction that it is often difficult for the author to remember which bits are which. Worst of all, such discussions tend to encourage biographical readings of a work of fiction as a whole. However, Vanessa's questions concern the process of writing, and I have ended up dissecting the process from real-life trigger to fiction in two of the stories.

"I heard something in the middle of the night, and then I got up the next morning, and you can see where they bashed it," said Eckman, pointing to her mailbox. "It was laying in the driveway."
"See that little motion sensor light?" she added. "The little thing in the middle? That was shoved all the way down."
Then, more problems on the driveway. "I could hear the metal, and when I looked down, there was a whole bunch of nails just laying in the driveway."
She says they've torn down Christmas decorations, and turned on her water spigot, causing thousands of dollars in damage from flooding. Most recently, late at night, they say someone came and stood right at the door, peeking inside their home while they were in the living room. But then when the dog started barking, they ran off.
"It's just ridiculous that... really, are you supposed to stay up all night?" said Eckman. "Are you supposed to sleep with the windows up all night? It's out of control, and something needs to be done."
Eckman lives with her older grandmother, and says the ongoing incidents and accompanying expenses are very stressful for her.
"It's frustrating and angering. Like I've said, we've never done anything to anybody. There's no excuse why somebody would want to keep doing this to us," said Eckman. "It's expensive and it's just frustrating."
She said she called police in the past, and they have increased patrols to help. She just hopes whoever is up to no good watches this story and stops.
When you find yourself a victim of vandalism, even small everyday things, it's always a good idea to tell police. That helps them have context of what might be going on in your neighborhood. In Chesterfield, you can always call and report crimes to Crime Solvers at 748-0660.

Predators making it hard on Blackhawks fans to see away games
August 14, 2013 8:52PM
Chicago Blackhawks v Nashville Predators
Updated: August 21, 2013 10:53AM
The Nashville Predators are declaring war on Blackhawks fans.
Tired of seeing fans in red Hawks sweaters at Bridgestone Arena, the Predators are eliminating single-game ticket sales for their Nov. 16, Dec. 17 and April 12, 2014, home games against the Hawks.
Predators president and COO Sean Henry told Section303.com that fans will have to buy tickets to at least one other game in order to buy tickets to the Hawks games.
"What it's going to do by forcing another game is we'll almost direct it toward people that live in the general area," Henry said. "Only those in the zip codes that we unlock can buy the Blackhawk game and a second game.
"In the end, we're building something pretty special. If we have to do it off the backs of their fans a little bit, I'm not apologizing for it."

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (ʃɪˈneɪd oʊˈkɒnər; born 8 December 1966) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. O'Connor achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a cover of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U".
Writing in the Sunday Independent four weeks later, Sinead O'Connor responded to comments by Irish columnists about her latest marriage. "The craven extent of the abuse concerning my marriage was... an all-time low, even for some of the bottom-dwelling rags whose wont is to abuse", she wrote. "Not one writer of the abuse had the courage to contact me and state their abuse to my face, despite the fact that until two days ago, every paper in the country had my phone number, and had no qualms about calling me in the past regarding other matters." She offered the following reasons for the columnists' comments: "One: Those papers were angry they didn't know anything about the wedding. "Two: They never will. "Three: I am fantastically talented. "Four: I have a fantastic arse. Which has been responsible for the conception of my four lovely children, by four lovely men. By the presence in my life of those beautiful children and their four beautiful fathers, I am honoured and proud. "Five: I am a woman who does not box herself in and play by the rules dictated by patriarchal society or patriarchal newspapers for women to play. Why is it that male editors get women journalists to attack another woman? And more importantly, why do these women do it? How would any of these editors feel if it was their daughters or sisters who were the subject of such craven insults? "My non-cooperation with the 'rules' results in a lot of female journalists becoming ravingly jealous of me, because they have taken no for an answer, and take orders from male editors to destroy other women. "In short, they envy my freedom, my courage, my talent, and my arse. "These writers are a disgrace to their parents, who most likely worked their fingers to the bone so that their children could go to school and college", she added.
( in The Emperor's New Clothes lyrics ) "Everyone can see what's going on They laugh 'cos they know they're untouchable Not because what i said was wrong Whatever it may bring I will have my own policies I will sleep with a clear conscience I will sleep in peace"
Sinead: I was longing for hymns and religious songs that weren't so boring and that also didn't perpetuate this kind of false idea of God, which I felt Catholicism did at the time. So I was always interested in the idea of rescuing God from religion and the idea of singing as prayer. Rasta music is the only kind of music that I think really gets that across. You feel the spirit of God alive in that music.

Hi I'm Kim from Linda's! People say two heads are better than one…but believe me, four boobs are NOT better than two! "Quad boob" is our term for a bump that spills out from the top or side of your bra, making it look like you have four breasts instead of the usual two. This embarrassing effect can even show under your shirts. Yikes! Here are our expert tips on how to go from 4 to 2!

Bra Problem Solved: "Quad Boob" – Braducational Video
Bra Problem Solved: Desire for Smaller Breasts – Braducational Video
Hi! I'm Kim from Linda's. We help women of all cup sizes, including up to an N cup! For those with a full bust, sometimes, you don't want your chest to be the center of attention. Don't worry – I've got a few ways to make your chest appear smaller without resorting to surgery.
Two Newlywed Bra Divas Share Their Wedding Undergarment Advice
I'm such a proud Bra Diva momma! I work hard to train my bra fitters to be experts in their field, and I'm always proud when they use that knowledge to help the women in my stores or online. But I'm even more proud when I see them living what they preach, and of course, so excited for them when they get married! Last year, two of my top Bra Divas took the plunge and married the special men in their lives. And these beautiful brides have agreed to share their bridal gown and undergarment shopping secrets with the rest of us. Believe me, they've helped enough brides in the past that they were well prepared for this adventure – but nothing beats real life experience.
Now these two Divas are prepared to share their insider tips on choosing the best undergarments for your wedding day!
Bras Divas Kim and Britney are two savvy and experienced bra fitters. These two newlyweds have very different body types and personal style, though. I'm excited for their unique takes on shopping for two very different wedding gowns. (more…)
Fitter Favorites: The Panache Andorra
Many times my fabulous bra fitters get asked "what bra are YOU wearing?" or "well, what's your favorite bra?". And though my girls always help you find the best bra for you, they love to share their favorite styles as well! I mean, after working with bras and boobs for so long, how could they not have a few personal favorites? First up: Kia! Kia is a great fitter with a lot of sass. She knows how to help you and she knows how to work those curves. Kia is a fan of Panache bras because they offer serious support in 34J without sacrificing on style. That's right, she's a 34J. Take a look at how fabulous she looks, and read below to find out which amazing styles she is wearing!
April Bra of the Month: Elila Strapless Longline Bra 6421
It's that time again! Each month I choose a well deserving basic bra style that is made well, fits well, and has real "staying power". In a word: Fabulous. April's bra is perfect for prom and wedding season. Whether you're a blushing bride who needs a bustier to create a glamorous shape or a full busted teen who wants to shimmy on the dance floor – the new and improved Elila 6421 is the perfect bra for you! Plus, it can be worn with or without straps.
And don't forget about my Fitting Support Tab! On every product page I list helpful fitting advice and style sizing. For instance, this bra fits very snug in the band. I always suggest starting with one back size up from your typical band size, which means you'll have to adjust the cup size down to remain the same. Ex: If you wear a 34H, try the 36G. Have more questions? You can always ask my Bra Divas who are trained to help give you the best possible fitting advice via phone, chat or email.
Linda's "Lifted and Separated" Bras!
I always tell women, "I can only tell you how your bra fits. YOU can tell me how it feels, and how it looks." Looks are such a complicated thing – they are very personal! And just like our hair, our clothes and our bodies, every woman wants their breasts to look a certain way. There are, however, popular looks. And one of the most popular in my shops? Lifted and separated! Here are three of my favorite bras to give D-N cups this look. And, for those with a more petite bust who want to create curves – shop new additions to The Little Bra Company!

Star Style: What Do They Wear Under There?
Celebrities seem to have it all: looks, money, fashion… but you don't have to star in the latest blockbuster movie to look just as fabulous. Believe it or not, it's all about wearing the right underpinnings. Trust me, we've all seen enough wardrobe malfunctions and terrible outfits on fabulous celebrities. It isn't the money and fame that makes them look so good – it's a darn good stylist and quality underpinnings. While I may not know exactly what Angelina or Jennifer has on under her dress, I can share my tried and true products that can help you get the same look. Here are a few of my favorite celebrity outfits and my secrets to just what they may be wearing under there…
Celebrity Style: Super high cut slit in sheer chiffon fabric
What to wear under there: A seamless skin-colored panty like the Commando Girl Short. It tricks the eye into thinking that they just might get a peek at something personal, but keeps you covered just in case it's a windy day. Recommended for: Ladies who love their legs and thighs (or at least one of them). They'll be on display.
Celebrity Style: V-neck dress down to there!
What to wear under there: If you have perky breasts, you can just use a little double-sided Hollywood Fashion Tape to keep the dress from falling away from your bust. You may also want to use some nipple covers like Low Beams or Nipsticks to keep the outline of your nipples from peeking through the dress material. Lastly, the Braza Bra is made of two separate bra stickers with no connection in the middle so it won't show. Recommended for: Women with perky or petite breasts who don't need a super supportive bra or whose breast shape is less full in the center of their chest.
Celebrity Style: Classic white button down blouse
What to wear under there: This look may seem effortless, but it can actually be a bit tricky for some women to wear. A minimizer bra (like this one from Wacoal) disperses breast tissue from the middle of the body, decreasing your chances of puckering buttons. Also, a little Hollywood Fashion Tape may keep the button placate in place. Hint: If you are very full busted with a tiny waist, consider getting a larger shirt altered to fit your slim waist or buying ready made shirts from brands like Campbell and Kate. Recommended for: The classic woman whose breasts look fab in a minimizer.
Celebrity Style: Sleek and expecting
What to wear under there: Moms to be don't have to limit their wardrobe to over-sized sacks. Pair a slim fitting dress with a pair of Spanx Power Mama Maternity Shapewear or Panythose. You'll get sleek hips and thighs while still leaving room for your baby bump! And don't forget to wear the right size bra. Expectant mothers and their bodies go through a lot of changes. Check in for a re-fitting as your bust and belly grows. Recommended for: Pregnant women who still want to rock their wardrobe.
Celebrity Style: Seriously sheer dress
What to wear under there: Woah! For a totally see-through dress you have two choices: You can try to fool them and wear something seamless and nude (like the Commando line of thongs and Girlshorts) or cover up under there. Try a nude slip underneath for a layer of protection, or pair the dress with a black slip for a monochromatic look. Trust me, the mini length and gorgeous lace detail will still get you the attention that you deserve without having to showcase too much. Recommended for: Women who don't mind almost baring it all!
Celebrity Style: Full figured and one shouldered
What to wear under there: Va-va-voom! To look this red-hot when you have a full bust to support, make sure you wear a serious strapless bra. Two of my favorites for the truly full-busted are from Fantasie and Panache. To accentuate those curves, pair that strapless with a fabulous pair of Spanx or a Squeem. Want it all together? Try a longline bra. Even then, I say wear some fabulous shapewear for a seamless hourglass look. Recommended for: The woman who proudly sports a full cup and dangerous curves.
Celebrity Style: Royal frocks with a lady-like touch
What to wear under there: Nothing says lady-like more than hosiery. Maybe you want to wear a neutral shade to hide a few flaws (c'mon, don't pretend you don't have a few veins here or there). I suggest a pair that's doing double duty like Spanx hosiery! They'll shape your bum and give you sexy legs. And for a bit more fun, try an opaque pair or go even crazier with a young and exciting print from Commando (bonus: they have a dig free waistband!). Recommended for: Sheers and solids for the fashionista who still wants to remain a lady and bold prints for the girl who can't wait to rock the runway.
Celebrity Style: Backless and Fabulous
What to wear under there: When you don't have a bra band to keep things up (believe it or not, the band is the most important for support) you have to go "sticky". Try using adhesive and seamless styles like the Nu Bra, Braza Bra and the new Fashion Forms Body Sculpting Backless bra. Tip: only apply to skin when it's dry and free of lotions or oils. Also, don't expect this bra to stay up if you're going to run a marathon. Lots of physical activity and sweat can cause it to slip. Otherwise, you're in the clear. Recommended for: Women with firmer or petite breasts who need a little help shaping their bust but want to show off a dynamite back.

Top 10 Bras of 2010
Let's take a look back at this year in lingerie! I'm always on the lookout for fabulous new bras, and 2010 didn't disappoint. This year, we've added fantastic new brands like the Little Bra Company and Josie by Natori, plus new styles from customer favorites like Panache, Chantelle, Wacoal and more. Here are some new bras that are getting rave reviews from our customers.
Panache Andorra Full Cup Bra
Panache always hits it out of the park, and their new Andorra bra is no exception. This sheer lace bra has a delicate and feminine look, but it's anything but fragile. The cups support and shape all the way from 28D to 40J.
See Panache Andorra Full Cup Bra
Simone Perele Romance Push Up Convertible Bra
Sensual yet surprisingly practical, the Simone Perele Romance Push Up is a smart splurge. The demi cup bra has smooth cups with removable air pads and convertible straps that work wonders with your wardrobe. Chic embroidery accents add that distinctive Simone Perele touch.
See Simone Perele Romance Push Up Bra
Shock Absorber Run Racerback Sports Bra
This year, sports bra brand Shock Absorber introduced a whole line of fantastic new sports bras. All are great, but my favorite has to be the Shock Absorber Run Sports Bra. This style is scientifically designed to reduce the breast movement caused by running and jogging from 30A to 38F. A stylish sporty look only adds to the appeal.
See Shock Absorber Run Sports Bra
Natori Sheer Scroll Convertible Bra
Sexy styles meets everyday with this fab plunge bra. The low-cut cups and sheer lace add a little spice, but the Natori Sheer Scroll is still comfortable enough for everyday. I recommend this bra to lots of petite women for its grown-up style that doesn't rely on extra padding. It even has convertible straps for extra versatility.
See Natori Sheer Scroll Convertible Bra
Wacoal Simple Shaping Minimizer Bra
I didn't think there could be a better minimizer bra that the original Wacoal Slimline Minimizer, but those bra fitting masters have done it again! The new Wacoal Simple Shaping Minimizer Bra has a beautiful smooth shape that doesn't flatten you out. With the power to reduce the bust by two full sizes, this will be your go-to bra to prevent button-popping tops.
See Wacoal Simple Shaping Minimizer Bra
Chantelle Pont des Arts Three-Part Bra
A perfect fit speaks for itself, and the supportive and flattering Chantelle Pont des Arts is a winner. This lace bra has full coverage with a lacy French look. If you liked the discontinued Chantelle Legende Full Cup Bra, the Pont des Arts makes a great replacement.
See Chantelle Pont des Arts Three-Part Bra
This best-selling plus size bra jumped to the top of the list when they introduced N cups! Available up to size 50N, the Elila Jacquard Soft Cup Bra is a wonderful choice for both comfort and support. Elila also introduced this bra in Lilac for a fun, colorful style
See Elila Jacquard Soft Cup Bra
The Little Bra Company Isis Convertible Bra
This amazing push up bra creates cleavage like no other! The Little Bra Company Isis Bra is designed especially for petites, with band sizes as small as 28. While all Little Bra Co. bras are fab, the Isis is our top padded pick.

Lunaire Barbados Mesh Demi Bra
For fabulous style at a great price, you just can't beat Lunaire. The Barbados Mesh Demi bra comes in five different fabrics and is just sheer enough to add a little
sass. Better yet, this style is available up to DDD cups.
See Lunaire Barbados Mesh Demi Bra
Linda the Bra Lady Gift Certificate

Sexy Bras for ALL Sizes
Bras – we wear them for support but is it too much to ask for a little extra flavor? Women of all shapes and sizes deserve to have the option to wear sexy bras. Read on to see which bras will work best for your body. Trust me, there is a sexy bra for you!
If You're Petite with Small Breasts
Sometimes you wish your boobies looked like Pam Anderson and some days, well, you don't. If you're a petite women with small breasts, you can easily manipulate your cleavage with a bra with removable push-up pads or "cookies." Put the pads in on the days you're feeling frisky and take em' out on the days you aren't. It's that easy.
Try This Bra: Wacoal Petites Embrace Lace Push Up Bra – This molded padded bra has removable cookies so you can control your size. It looks great under t-shirts but has pretty lace that will make you feel sexy underneath your clothes. A win-win if you ask me!
If You're Petite with Large Breasts
A common problem for petite women with large breasts is underwires that are too long. Because your frame is small, but you need more coverage, the underwire pokes through to the side because it has nowhere else to go. This can get very uncomfortable if the problem persists. A great solution for this issue is a balconnet style. Because the cup isn't full coverage, the underwire is shorter and won't poke, however, it still has enough coverage to support you.
Try This Bra: Le Mystere Isabella All Over Lace Bra – This beautiful bra has lightly padded molded cups and runs from 32B up to 38F. This feminine style has lace over both cups and a seamless bra band. You can't go wrong with sexy and comfortable.
If You're Average with Average Breast Size
You would think with all of the bras being tailored to the "average" body, that "average" women would have no problems finding fantastic bras. This may be true but only for those women who actually know their real size. Because there is an abundance of bras for those sizes, women don't necessarily see the need to get fit. This often leads to compromising either the band or cup. So ladies, if you're wearing an ill-fitting bra, get fit! Once you do, your options will expand ten-fold.

Legal immigrants to U.S. face endless wait
With its backlogs and bureaucracy, the immigration system is punishing for those who play by the rules.
New York
When Zeenat Potia started her application for US permanent residency – known as a green card – she assumed she'd get it in two years. But soon she was told to expect delays.

Five years later, Ms. Potia is still waiting.
For Potia, a native of India, the delays mean she must keep leaving and reentering the US to maintain her temporary work visa, or forfeit her right to travel outside the country. Last spring, Potia spent $1,000 to travel from Cambridge, Mass., to Montreal – just to get her passport stamped. "What if I needed to go [home to India] for an emergency?" she asks. "I needed that stamp."
Immigration has been a hot topic of late. But amid the furor over illegal immigrants, the plight of legal migrants caught in a system that is slow, erratic, and often unresponsive is largely ignored.
The result: talented, hardworking people who play by the rules are trapped in limbo, and even close relatives of American citizens may wait up to a decade to enter the US.
"Ten years is half of a lifetime for a child," says Cristina Rodriguez, a law professor specializing in immigration at New York University. "The backlogs are keeping families apart and diminishing confidence in the system."
This month, President Bush moved to ease the backlog of green-card applications by allowing applicants to obtain permanent residency before FBI security checks are complete, a rule change that will almost instantly benefit 47,000 people.
More than 3 million people were waiting for green cards in 2006. More recent statistics are not available but experts suggest this backlog is unlikely to have reduced been dramatically since then, especially after the surge of applications last summer when an application fee hike – from $395 to $1,010 per person – prompted a record 300,000 people to apply in the months leading up to the increase.
Yet, "It has been tremendously worse than it is now," claims US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesman Shawn Saucier. He says average wait times are down, but acknowledges that "it's not where we want it to be."
By any standard, applying for US permanent residency – often a first step to citizenship – is an arduous, unpredictable process. Green-card applicants must find suitable sponsors, decipher complex legal jargon – for many, in an unfamiliar language – or spend thousands of dollars on lawyers to do it for them. They must gather and submit hundreds of pages of personal documents that vouch for their identity, professional qualifications, familial relationships, and financial security. They must also pay fees and expenses – for photos, medical examinations, and vaccinations – running into thousands of dollars.
