Indie rock outfit the New Amsterdams were pioneered by Get Up Kids vocalist/guitarist Matthew Pryor as a side project, and his personal emotion continued to be redefined and molded upon a musical cast of energetic pop. Joining Pryor were drummer Jake Cardwell, guitarist Alex Brahl, and Get Up Kids bassist Robert Pope. Since forming the Get Up Kids in 1996, Pryor needed another outlet for his stripped melodies to sheer off the typical emo associations found with his other band. So with grainy acoustics and lyrical dynamics, the New Amsterdams issued their debut, Never You Mind, in fall 2000. Two years later, Pryor took a break from his bandmates to record a follow-up completed entirely by him. Para Toda Vida captured a more intimate Pryor with production work by Alex Brahl. Released in 2003, Worse for the Wear found brothers Robert and Ryan Pope joining in on bass and percussion, and Pryor then started planning his next album that fall, before leaving on tour with the Get Up Kids. Feeling alone and upset on tour, many of the songs written reflected this uncertain and bleak period of his life. After touring commitments were finished, and with the record still incomplete, he started writing with Bill Belzer and Eric McCann in September 2004. It was a much more positive environment than Pryor had been writing in, and the songs showed it. The album, Killed or Cured, was finished, but a farewell tour with the Kids pushed its release into the next year. A lot changed in that time -- the New Amsterdams started writing new songs, Dustin Kinsey was added, and the guys decided they wanted to see through what they were working on. Killed or Cured wound up eventually getting shelved with no plans for a future release, aside from songs available for download on their website. April 2006 saw the band finally issue a new album, Story Like a Scar. It was followed in 2007 by At the Foot of My Rival. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

Life at the Top
King George V
Matriarch: Queen Mary and the House of Windsor
Posterity suspects with some justice that commemorative biographers never tell the truth about the dead. Too many people have to die before they can get at it and, even if they could, they have to avoid libel suits, appease the literary executors who can withdraw permission to quote from letters or journals; they have to wheedle other owners of copyright, placate the family, and soothe friends each of whom is convinced that he or she alone understands the "real" person who has just died. But the official biographers of royalty are faced with an even more exacting task. To perform it they have to become morticians. Massage removes disfiguring scars and injections of Formalin waft away the unpleasant odor of a decaying reputation.
Sir Sidney Lee, the coeditor of the Dictionary of National Biography, was a master of the art. Of the seven deadly sins the one to which Edward VII was most prone was gluttony. Beginning the day with two cigarettes and a cigar, the king sat down to a hearty eight-course English breakfast and displayed no alarm when faced with a substantial luncheon. Then there was tea at which the king would eat a boiled egg or two before attacking the muffins, crumpets, clotted cream, jam, and cakes. Dinner, at which soups, fish, roasts, and game were separated by entrees and during which, halfway through the profusion, the appetite was revived by a sorbet, preceded a session at the bridge table. There whiskeys and soda followed the wines and brandy that had accompanied the meal. But this was not the end. A supper of deviled bones might well be served or, if not, the king expected to find a cold fowl in the anteroom to his bedchamber. Such a regime took its toll, and not for nothing was he known behind his back to his intimates as Tum-Tum.
How did Lee deal with this? The king, he wrote, "appeared somewhat shorter than he really was owing to a tendency to stoutness…. He had a splendid appetite at all times, and never toyed with his food." This example was not lost on Harold Nicolson, when he came to write the biography of Edward VII's son. "In private conversation King George was not wont to hide or understate his views: the language he employed had about it the tang and exuberance of the salt sea waves…. The King was not by temperament an equable man." The resultant biography was not exactly dull—Nicolson wrote too well to incur that criticism—but it did not sparkle.
Few writers could have had less fellow feeling for the king's personality and foibles. Protocol, orderliness, the punctilious observance of customs and conventions, obsession with what should be worn and how to wear it on every conceivable occasion, in other words the panoply of English upper-class life in those days, were things that Harold Nicolson regarded with weary disdain and his wife with loathing. How was someone who had given up the life …

NY1 VIDEO: After two weeks of intense speculation, the New York Times recently ran an article on the administration of Governor David Paterson, focusing on one of his top aides, David Johnson.
Four top journalists who closely followed the story and the rumors that surrounded it -- Chris Smith of New York Magazine, Lloyd Grove of the Daily Beast website, New York Daily News columnist and WWRL Morning Show host Errol Louis and Huffington Post editor Dan Collins -- discussed the story and its surrounding hype on Wednesday's edition of "Inside City Hall."

Rockford Speedway celebrated their 65th season on Saturday night and honored four of their own by inducting them into the Walk of Fame. Seven Time Late Model Champion Ricky Bilderback, Two Time Late Model Champion Jerry Gille, Matt Berger, the 2010 Sportsman Champion that has won a feature in all four NASCAR divisions as well as longtime car owner and competitor Billy McCoy who claimed the 1996 American Short Tracker crown were all enshrined prior to racing. When the engines fired, it was veteran Mike Beyer holding off a determined 'Driver X' Jon Reynolds, Jr to become the twelfth different Late Model winner of 2012. Scotty Hoeft was victorious in the American Short Trackers, former Champ Robert Roush found RoadRunner Victory Lane as did point leader Patrick Bruns in the Illini Racing Series Midgets. Shawn Rickelman topped the field in the Next Winners RoadRunner feature event to record his first ever feature triumph.
The combo of Wayne Freimund and Mike Beyer led the NASCAR Stanley Steemer Late Model field to the green flag and it was Beyer getting the edge on the high side to wrestle the early lead away. His first challenger was Jake Gille who returned to action after a hard wreck two weeks ago. Gille looked inside on lap three and continued the constant pressure as Matt Berger, Ricky Bilderback and Jon Reynolds, Jr engaged in a fight for third. Berger lost the handle on his mount out of turn four allowing Bilderback and Reynolds to shoot past as he fell into fifth. A solo spin on the race's eighth circuit by Matthew Clossey brought out the only caution. On the restart Beyer was out front and Gille chose the low line to continue his pursuit but was quickly overtaken by Reynolds when racing resumed. Reynolds, the night's fast qualifier charged to the inside of Beyer on lap eight.
For the final twenty-two laps Reynolds was able to pull alongside Beyer and contend for the win, contact as the leaders crossed the stripe with two to go gave Reynolds one last shot, but Beyer drove a near flawless race to record his first victory in nearly five years. "I'm not washed up." Exclaimed an excited Beyer. For the second straight week Reynolds finished a close second after setting fast time, he was followed by Jake Gille at the finish. When the dust settled on the battle for fourth, it was Berger over Bilderback over Jerry Gille as the trio swapped positions throughout the final stages of the event. Austin Nason accepted the Gerber Collision and Glass Challenge which placed him shotgun on the field at the start, he would finish the race in ninth.
Zach Rodriguez peeked to the inside of Scotty Hoeft in Miller Lite American Short Tracker competition, looking for a clear shot past the leader. Former Champ Kyle Lapier reminded the crowd why he was a Champ as he shot around Rodriguez into second before making his bid for the top spot. After running to Hoeft's inside for eleven circuits, Lapier made contact with the leader sending Hoeft around as they exited the second turn. Lapier 'tapped out' allowing Hoeft to retain his spot out front. Hoeft once again had to contend with Rodriguez and new to the fight was fast qualifier Nick Cina, Jr. Rodriguez and Cina made contact which set off a chain reaction down the backstretch which involved nearly half of the field. When racing resumed Hoeft fought off challenged by Jason Bragg and then a final effort from George Sparkman as they raced to the checkered flag. Hoeft, Sparkman and Bragg were joined in the top five by point leader Joey LaMarca and Lapier who fought his way back into contention.
Former RockStar Energy RoadRunner Champion Robert Roush survived a late race restart with pressure from Dennis Smith, Jr to claim his first Saturday night victory in two seasons. Shawn Rickelman, Jason VanHise and Terrance Robinson went door to door over the final laps to determine third place. The final results showed Rickelman over Robinson, fifth was garnered by point leader Bobby Frisch as VanHise fell to sixth on the final lap. In the Next Winners RoadRunner Feature it was Rickelman picking up career feature victory number one much to the delight of his crew. He had to hold off challenged from Ray Hardesty and Alex Chabucos. Chabucos recorded second with VanHise, Hardesty and Josh Carter completing the top five.
Patrick Bruns extended his point lead as he got past early leader Mike Anderson and bested Sean Murphy as the stripe. Anderson held off Lamont Critchett for third position. The Illini Racing Series Midgets will be part of the 47th annual National Short Track Championships on Saturday night September 29.
Saturday night August 25 marks Round IV of the Gilley's Cool 5 Series when Windsor Auto Sales presents Nick's Beatin' 'N Bangin' Boat Race. The NASCAR Stanley Steemer Late Models, Bargain Hunter Sportsman, Miller Lite American Short Trackers and RockStar Energy RoadRunners will all battle for the top spot as all important points are on the line. One lucky fan could win $2,250 if they correctly pick the top four finishers in the Late Model feature. Spectator gates open at 5, qualifying begins at 5:55 with the Stateline Staffing Services Dashes Going Green at 7:07pm. Adult general admission tickets are $12, students ages 12-17 are $8, ages 6-11 are $5 with children ages 5 and under admitted free.

[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] on Friday reversed [opinion, PDF] and remanded a lower court ruling, reviving two lawsuits brought by Nigerian families against Pfizer [corporate website]. The consolidated lawsuits allege that Pfizer violated international law when it administered an experimental antibiotic to Nigerian children without the consent or knowledge of their patients. The US District Court for the Southern District of New York [official website] had dismissed the complaints, ruling that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) [28 U.S.C. § 1350 text] and in the alternative, on the ground of forum non conveniens. In overturning the district court's decision, the circuit court concluded:
(1) that the district court incorrectly determined that the prohibition in customary international law against nonconsensual human medical experimentation cannot be enforced through the ATS; (2) that changed circumstances in Nigeria since the filing of this appeal require re-examination of the appropriate forum, albeit on the basis of a legal analysis different from that employed by the district court; and (3) that the district court incorrectly applied Connecticuts choice of law rules in the Adamu action.

Dirk told me to take 6-8 a day, 2-3 pre-workout and 4-5 later in the day. I've had them for a few days now, but was gonna wait until I start P.C.T. in 2-3 days.
I usually do not train on days I work. I have school at night too M-Th. I haven't hit the gym since Friday, so I decided to skip class and hit up a back workout after work.
I'm trying to drop some BF, so I've been taking X-force 2-3 times a day for the past couple days. Took 2 X-forces @ 9:30, and @ 12:30. At about 5:30, I stacked 3 caps sfRPM w/ 2 X-force, and about 1/4 scoop of AI chaos. (I've stacked the same stuff w/ 5-6 Regular Stim RPM plenty of times)
On the ride to the gym, I could feel myself getting more and more aggressive. i.e. irritated, annoyed, pissed off even
At the gym:
Intensity was INSANE. I'm not in the best shape :donut: , my cardio sucks too for the most part. It's hard to put into words, but I almost kicked my own ass too hard / too fast. I was so hyped, that I honestly lost my concept of time , and was bouncing around from one HEAVY set to another HEAVY set w/ not enough (as usual) rest between . After about 7-8, I had to sit for like 6 minutes (I think, no real concept of time), breathing hard as sh*t, sweating like a mofo. I maintained most of my strength for the whole workout, which is weird for me. My strength usually drops off after set 4.
Pump was ridiculous too. Just rock solid. :bb3: Not painful, just large and in charge!
I was actually skeptical.... sorry Dirk.
Only 1 workout down, but so far the Yellow Beta whatchamacallits are SICK! I think next time I will drop the dose to 2 caps pre-workout w/ stims.
I agree with you 110%
Im on day 2 and I have been taking 4 caps in the morning with 2 RPM....then 4 caps 1 hour pre workout with 4 RPM and my workouts have been SICK. The pump is insane and your overall mentality in the gym is outstanding. I feel like I can just keep going and going, and a few times I have found myself grunting loudly during my lifts, which is not normal for me. I love it so far!!!
buttsex! o wait wrong movie.
someone had to say it. i'm very interested in the stim free RPM. looks good after only 1 day. HA!
Damn can't wait to see how this works for u, any idea when this will be available to buy?
stim free would be nice for when i get to the point where yohimbe doesnt work on me anymore and still need to stay awake somehow
anyone testing this without any stims at all?
As much as i hate to question/ask a knowledgable and expierienced guy like youself. Wouldn't it be better just to do stim free and stay that way...period? Other wise it i like takin the regular version with stims. how can you track this?
Still sounds like sick stuff though.
Also, skippin school for a wrokout...niiiicce. haha
Ill be watchin this one
Generally, me and no stims at all don't get along. I've been taking at the very least a bit of caffeine powder several times a day, including pre-workout for years now.
Maybe I'll try no stims (or much less) on Friday for my leg workout. Tomorrow is chest, and my last workout while on cycle, so I don't wanna change anything drastically and not bang out as much weight. I haven't trained my legs in a few weeks due to right knee discomfort. Maybe less intensity/craziness will do my knee right anyway.
Have been waiting a long time for the stim-free RPM. Subscribed to this , keep us updated I've got tons of faith in them to make this product just as effective
How can one get their hands on the stim free RPM?
I am SO jealous of SS!
I take 6 a day of stim RPM 2 in the AM prior to cardio and 4 prior to workout. I am weighing in at around 223

Sequim youth gets letter from former president
Published on Wed, Jul 23, 2008 by
Michael Dashiell
Read More
In the revelry of viewing some of the nations pre-eminent landmarks, Sequim eighth-grader Hillary Smith got a surprise in the mail a signed letter from former president Bill Clinton.
And though the note was a little late and from the wrong Clinton the words still resonate with the Sequim youth.
Smith, on a sort of vacation following the National History Day competition near Washington, D.C., was on the road to Gettysburg when she got a call from Todd Beuke, a Sequim Middle School teacher and Smiths History Day advisor, that a letter had come from the former president.
Weeks earlier, Smith and Beuke asked staff from Hillary Clintons campaign for a quote or comment germane to the young students History Day topic: Belva Lockwood, the first woman to appear on official election ballots when she ran for the office of president in 1884 and 1888.
Smith didnt get a comment from the Clintons until well after the finals June 15-19, and not from Hillary.
At first, I was like, Why is it Bill, not Hillary? Smith recalled. Then, I was like, Wow, I cant believe he read it (and) took the time to write the letter. He really analyzed my paper.
In a typed letter, Clinton extols Smiths paper (Taking on the Courts, and The Men: Belva Lockwoods Conflicts and Compromises in Law and Politics, which took third in the Junior Paper division) and Lockwoods place in history.
Although it is disheartening that Belva Lockwood never lived to see women win the right to vote, Bill Clinton wrote, we should be inspired by the fact that she sought change from within our legal system and often succeeded.
Clinton added: A century and a quarter later, there are 87 women in the U.S. Congress, eight women governors, women leaders in every sector of society, and a woman my wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton who garnered millions of votes in the primary of a major political party. They, and all Americans, owe a debt of gratitude to Belva Lockwood.
Added at the bottom of the letter is a hand-written note that reads: Great job. Thanks for doing the paper. I learned a lot. Bill Clinton.
As for the letter, Smith said shed likely frame it, and definitely save it for college applications. But first things first: one more year of middle school and another four of high school.
The letter came in a whirlwind of activity for Smith, who joined family on a tour through the Northeast following the History Day competition. Travels took the Smiths to Washington, D.C.s National Portrait Gallery, where Hillary got to see photos of Belva Lockwood that are not on regular display. They also traveled to Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania to view a collection of Lockwoods writings.
I saw her actual handwriting, Smith boasted.
Smith joined her sister Heather as one of just a few Sequim students to earn a spot at the National History Day final; Heather took second place in the Junior Historical Paper division at nationals in 2004, then qualified for nationals a second time in 2005.
The younger Smith said shes targeting author and abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe for next years History Day project, one that falls in line with the 2009 theme: An individual in history.
Ive learned a lot from our daughters about American history, Smiths father Henry said. Were all feminists here.
Hillary Smith is inexorably linked to the former first lady. Henry noted that he and his wife, Betsy, named their youngest daughter after Hillary Rodham Clinton while the family was living in a conservative and often Clinton-despising part of Texas.
But, as Henry Smith noted, his Hillary is her own person.
She agreed.
I liked Hillary … (but) I didnt think shed make the best president, Smith said.
Though impressed with the run the former first lady made for the presidency, Smith is quick to note: Belva Lockwood was first.

By the time she's 21 years old, a student will play nearly 10,000 hours of video games. But can kids play their way to learning? An increasing number of educators are recognizing that students aren't responding to old-school lectures, and they're looking to engage the gamer generation by bringing gaming into the classroom.
Since 2009, an entire school, New York City's Quest to Learn, has used gaming-based learning principles to help students achieve. Instead of sitting kids in front of a screen all day, the school uses a gaming curriculum centered on systems-thinking. It helps students learn history and math by adopting the behaviors and habits of, for example, real historians or mathematicians. To top it all off, the students are also learning how to design their own games.
While there are plenty of learning games made by educational software companies, savvy educators are going directly to the popular games their students are playing outside of school. Earlier this year, John Burk, a ninth-grade physics teacher in Atlanta, taught his students the laws of physics using the highly addictive game Angry Birds. Instead of a dry lecture, Burk used the birds catapulting into the sky to demonstrate projectile motion, and thanks to gaming, it only took 30 minutes for the students to grasp the concept.
Similarly, the Pender County, North Carolina schools are using World of Warcraft to teach language arts to middle schoolers. World of Warcraft's epic fantasy setting works well as the students read classics like Beowulf or J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Academic standards are incorporated when students have to compare the characteristics of a hero in the literature with those in the game, or write a personal narrative from the perspective of the main WOW character, Aezeroth.
Why does gaming work so well as a learning tool? Games have clear rules and objectives that students can understand and work to achieve. And there's no denying that the really well-designed ones are easy to get immersed in. They also have plenty of bells and whistles to motivate players. Even if they don't do well at first, eventually they are rewarded for their persistence. Given the eagerness students show to play games, the gaming revolution is probably in classrooms for good.
I like the idea of gaming as reinforcement of a lesson but not the lesson itself. If this was a tool to study and explore the cultures, history or science being taught I think it would engage students in a way they would really enjoy. If this was the whole lesson, I would bet that the facts would not stick around for very long.
There is not anything that doesn't have a computer in it. Radios, TVs, airplanes, traffic lights, telemarketting, telephones, and even some billboards have a computer in it.
I laugh all the time at how Hollywood idjits say that computers and internet are all just waste of time -- Yet, TV networks are what really made the internet... And if they like being infront of people -- They need to respect the net. Pissed off that no one wants to watch their crappy movie, and would rather play video games... Making up stories about destroying mind and principles of youth; all though Harold and Kumar can get a infant on crack and all is ok... The internet knows who makes speculations against the net.
Art spawns imagination... Imagination that leads to stories and innovations. Video games is just full of art and imagination. Almost every single concept of science started as fiction; started as just a dream and only a idea. Video games focus into that aspect. Inspiring imagination and teaching procreation of logical analysis.
Sorry, Hollywood... Your movies and stories are cute, but thats all they are. Without people putting momentum into future with other methods of inspiration... We are just dead in the water.
More schools should find methods of teaching that are renovating. I personally think schools should be shorter, two hours a day and during that two hour time the student only learns one subject; Each day would be a different course subject. Gives more freedom to the kid and also allows a lot more focus inside that subject, instead of minute intervals of a subject that is later forgotten as something more interesting becomes the focus of that kid on that day.
In a humans life time... they use 5% of what they learned in school. That 5% is what the excelled in at school... It was something that the student and person enjoyed -- THUS they followed it into a career. Schools could even base its curriculum around that -- Have a school that allows a student to decide their path inside what they like. Then that 5% would actually change to 100% because people would have only learned things, they wanted too. Giving a student the ability to control whats in front of them also inspires something people always wish they had -- Too plan, too know that their choices in life effect them, too know that outcomes are set by their motives. People often wish, everything was drawn out for them -- THIS IS BECAUSE our schools have only taught us to follow directions, SO subliminally, that we expect direction in our life.
It would be more rewarding if those same hollywood idiots wouldn't attack gaming industry, but forked endeavors into it. Instead of paying off congressmen in FLORIDA and in CALIFORNIA too try to impose on video games.
Kinda funny, didn't GOOD just have an article on paying off congress people to veto crap.

Kemp's Ridley Nest Watch in Texas finishes at 153!
The first five Kemp's ridley nests of the year on the Texas coast were found on Thursday, April 18. Two were found on South Padre Island, two at the Padre Island National Seashore (on north Padre Island) and one on Boca Chica Beach to the south where SpaceX wants to construct a launch site and shoot off rockets.
It looks like 153 Kemp's ridley nests is the final number for 2013. Nesting was done on the Texas Coast as in Mexico and no one really knows the answers. Let's hope for lots for nests in 2014!

Five years ago, Apple and Google played nice. They were both iconic tech companies, paving the way in their respective markets, with Google CEO Eric Schmidt even having his own seat on Apple's board. When the iPhone came out in 2007, Google Maps, Search and YouTube were included as native apps. The two seemed like an unbeatable team.
But, as Google took strides of its own in the mobile market, its relationship with Apple grew shaky, eventually escalating into a full-fledged rivalry and a neck-and-neck race toward smartphone dominance.
From the launch of Android Market to the release of Steve Jobs' biography, here are 10 reasons why Google and Apple are finally calling it quits.

Gone crazy. Be back soon.
I had to read this article to figure out what a schism was, but this:
is pathetic. I can't imagine tolerating a facility that forced me to "accomodate an ice princess' schedule." LMAO. Absolutely hysterical. What world are these people living in?Figure skaters with ambitions, claim members of this dissident group as directors call them are favoured with all the ice time they need. Other are sidelined; forced to accommodate the preferred ice princesses schedule; stripped of a cherished coach who didnt mesh with the new direction. Some parents allege their children have been insulted by coaching staff: called fat, or talentless.
It sounds like members aren't tolerating it - some are sending their kids to a public rink to get away from it.
I'm not part of the private club set, but I can imagine if I had a membership in a club that exclusive I'd have a hard time simply walking away over a shift in direction. The article is rather sensational, but I think the members have a point if what used to be a fun family center (for the extremely wealthy, anyway) is now repositioning itself as a training facility for elite athletes, especially if it's only in one area.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
Yeah...I just have a hard time relating to this story, because I've never heard of a country club that has a skating facility, nor can I imagine what it would be like to have that opportunity, but I hope they get everything worked out. If I was a paying member and got bumped for an ice princess, that would be infuriating. I also had a hard time understanding why they banned certain coaches?
Well I think it's sad that little girls have to protest, they're kicking out coaches, and members being shunned. Skating should be fun and not causing this much drama. There are more important things in life than getting that caught up in your kid's training - perspective please!
Ah the dramas of skating clubs. Happens everywhere.
The only ones who end up suffering are the skaters.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
The Glencoe was, like the Royal Glenora in Edmonton, one of the top skating clubs in the province at one time. The biggest difference at one time was that if a 'non-member' wanted to train at the Glencoe, it cost sometime like $10K just to get in the door (this from a parent of a skater in my town who moved to the Glencoe to train as part of a dance team). Getting into the Glenora was quite a bit cheaper up front. I have no idea what the fees were like once one got in the door.
The Calalta club has been growing for several years now. They have one sheet of ice at one of the public rinks in Calgary that was built for figure skating, and access to a second rink for things like test days and hosting competitions. It's much easier to get into Calalta than it is the Glencoe!
Ms. Weeks has a good reputation in skating circles in the province; it does not surprise me that her skaters would protest her dismissal. Good for them! I have to say though, it would be interesting to find out just how much 'extra' ice the 'princesses' were getting. Glencoe used to be very competitive; I can't imagine there was a ton of time for rec. skaters before. Did that change over the years as Calalta grew both in size and in reputation? Is someone now trying to bring a high level of competitive skating back to the Glencoe?
'Tis to ponder...
Haunting the Princess of Pink since 20/07/11...
How is the Glencoe Club different than some of the clubs in Toronto?
This might be speaking out of ignorance, but aren't places like the Granite Club or Toronto Cricket/Skating and Curling Club private clubs? They certainly seem to be geared more to catering to the elite athlete than to creating a fun place for the family.
I don't know if they are comparable, though. Do they just have ice sports, or do they have other facilities like the Glencoe?
The Glencoe is very comparable to the Granite Club in Toronto, and the Royal Glenora in Edmonton - both of which cater to elite athletes and families at the same time. In fact they like having elite athletes around - it adds to the prestige of the Club. They are all private clubs with facilities for multiple sports. Strange that the Glencoe should all of a sudden get uptight about elite athletes training there. I think this is more about a popular coach being let go than anything else and I doubt that the writer is all that knowledgeable about figure skating. Vaughn Chipeur trains at the Glencoe, and Michael Slipchuk coached at the Glencoe for years before he became high performance Director for Skate Canada.
Not sure if clubs are different in Canada than in the U.S., but I've never heard of a private club, or one that charges $10k to nonmembers. I've never heard of a club that you have to "get into." As far as I know, the clubs in the U.S., you pay your entry fee and that's it. Most clubs are probably around $100-$200 a year to join and anyone can join as long as they pay the fee. There's the rare club like Boston which requires over $1000 up front, and a few letters of recommendation from current members. That's the most difficult I've heard of to get into, but most clubs aren't like that at all.
You are misunderstanding. This is a private golf and country club. It's not just a "skating club" in the typical. This has golf, curling, swimming, a gym etc. It's like the Toronto Cricket & Curling Club where Yu Na Kim trains. You have to pay big money up front to join as a member, then you get access to their venues, restaurants, etc. Normally, you have to pay a monthly membership or dining room fee as well.
10K seems cheap to join. Most private clubs in Toronto and Vancouver are $30K plus to join.
Anyway, this sounds like a bunch of nouveau riche oil & gas and i-banker wives who are turning into skating moms from hell.
Right, I get that it's a "country club" but I've never heard of one with an ice rink. Maybe they only have them in Canada. I also didn't understand why Calalta was a lot easier to "get into" - if Calalta is a public club, can't you just pay the fee and join?
There are some private multi-sports clubs in the US that include ice skating in the winter.
Here are a couple that I know of:
(Dick Button used to represent this one)
As I mentioned, these only have ice in the winter and can't support competitive training without access to other ice elsewhere.
I don't know how many other such clubs there may be in the US or how they compare to Canadian clubs where winter sports are more central.
Hm, interesting. Well I hope they get it all worked out and get back to skating.
A number of the older skating clubs in the eastern US still have some remnants of the "country club" model. The Skating Club of Boston and Philadelphia SC&HS are probably the most expensive/exclusive, but e.g. at one point several years back I looked into a few other clubs in the New England area and they all had the same requirements about having sponsors submit your application to the club Board for approval, rather than being open to anyone who paid the dues. Broadmoor SC in Colorado does that too so it is not just an east-coast thing. The Detroit SC is very much a private club also but I have no idea how much it costs to join.
Well skating of any kind is probably a lot more popular in Canada If you're curious about what services private clubs offer their members in Canada, here are links to some of their websites:
Who wants to watch rich people eat pizza? They must have loved that in Bangladesh. - Randy Newman on the 2014 Oscars broadcast
I noticed that none of these rinks have boards - the ice surface goes right up to the wall.
