Who in Jacksonville spends the most on entertainment?
Send this to a friend
- Michael Clinton
- Guest Correspondent- Jacksonville Business Journal
- Email | Google+
Entertainment is a huge business on the First Coast, from golfing and fishing to movies and camping — and if that's your business, you need to know where the customers are.
Geographic information services provider Esri can nail that down for us, using its Updated Demographics (2013 estimates) and Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Unsurprsingly, the crowd that spends the most on entertainment and recreation hails from one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the area.
Look through the slideshow to see the top 10 ZIP codes, based on total entertainment and recreation spending.
Below you can see a database breaking down that data even further, including average spent for dozens of data categories ranging from "Live Entertainment for Catered Affairs" to "Music Instrument Rental."
An interesting metric Esri determines is the Spending Potential Index, which compares the average local expenditure to the average national expenditure. An index of 100 is average. For example: An SPI of 168 shows the average amount spent by local consumers is 68 percent above the national average. An SPI of 78 shows the average spent is 22 percent below the national average.

French Spiderman scales Burj Khalifa
Weather fails to stop Robert from climbing world's tallest tower
- Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News
- Robert, 48, started to climb the world's tallest tower on Monday as part of the opening ceremony of the 10th annual Education Without Borders.
Dubai: Crowds of people gathered on the Dubai Mall Boulevard faced great disappointment as rumours circulated Alain Robert, the French Spiderman, would not climb Burj Khalifa due to windy conditions.
Yet at 6.10pm on Monday evening Robert took his first foothold on the world's tallest tower with one aim — to reach the top.
Half an hour later VIPs and dignitaries took their seats at Burj Island Park in downtown Dubai for the opening ceremony of the tenth annual Education Without Borders (EWB) conference as Robert reached nearly halfway up the tower and stopped for the first of three rests.
Almost half an hour later he resumed his ascent in darkness under spotlight as the night turned chilly and the wind increased.
Robert's climb of the 828 metre tower was to inspire over 2,000 students who descended on Dubai on Monday for the three day EWB conference being hosted by the Higher Colleges of Technology.
Follow your heart
"I'm doing this to show the students there is no edge or borders and to inspire people to break the mould and not limit themselves," said Robert. "Part of my message is not only to follow your heart but try to innovate in all things you do."
Following his heart is exactly what led Robert to the tip of the world's tallest building. It is climbing buildings that brings him joy.
"To live we don't need much, just a roof over our heads some food and drink and that's it... everything else is superficial," said Robert. "I climb because I need to find something I enjoy in life and I enjoy climbing buildings.
"I've climbed the second, third and fourth tallest buildings. All that is missing is Burj Khalifa."
A little nervous about the wind conditions he would face during his climb, Robert had no expectations other than reaching the summit of the Burj Khalifa.
"It seems there will be a little challenge because today is a windy day and it will make things a bit more difficult," Robert told Gulf News hours before his ascent.
"It might be a little freezing as I'll reach the top around midnight so my climb will partly be in darkness."
However, as he neared his second rest after 90 minutes of climbing, Robert was ahead of schedule.
Robert finally reached the summit of Burj Khalifa at 12.30am on Tuesday, in a climb spanning a little more than 6 hours, to the cheer of many spectators waiting patiently below.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ocean Breeze Inn Pismo Beach
Very scary like the Bates Motel
We were very disappointed in the 2 bedroom suite. It did not appear clean anywhere. There were no utencils, glasses, coffee pot or anything in the kitchen other than a gas stove in a corner and a microwave. The main bedroom was the livingroom and there was no clock or radio. The TV had no remote. There was no room for a dresser or nightstand in the 2nd bedroom. The bathroom was the bear minimum. I don't think the towels were even clean. No hairdryer. Nothing. Lighting was even poor. The front door did not close securely. On Sat and Sun morning we were awakened by garbage trucks. It was the worst motel I have ever stayed in and a total ripoff for $189 a night. Sleeping in our car would have been better.
Warm and inviting Motel !!
What a find! I have been coming to Pismo Beach for more than 30 years, first with my parents and brothers and sister on our annual family summer vacations. Now I bring my own kids once a year or so. We have stayed at the Edgewater for the past 10 or so years but the Ocean Breeze Inn was recommended by some old friends so we decided to give it a try. We are definately creatures of habit and do not take to change readily but from registration until check-out we were very pleased with the accomodations and the service provided by the Motel staff. We were given room #5 which was a two bedroom suite. We had a Television in each room, a refrigerator, a microwave oven and a couch in the main living area. The room was immaculate. I am very picky when it comes to the cleanliness of a motel room in which I will be staying and this room was up to my standards and beyond. The location of the Ocean Breeze Inn is one of the best things about it. We parked our car in the parking lot and did not move it for 5 days. Everything in Pismo Beach is within walking distance of the motel and you can hear the Ocean surf break against the pier at night in bed! There are no massive stairways to climb down to get to the beach, you just step off the curb and you are standing in sand. The thing that really made our trip so memorable though was the Manager that was on duty. He was very gracious and always had a smile on his face. He had a warm smile and an infectcious laugh and I witnessed him handleing a couple of potentially sticky situations with good humor and professionalism. They have a continential breakfast at the Ocean Breeze Inn and there was music playing in the room they served it in. I was really enjoying listening to the songs, it was an eclectic mix, everyone from Billie Holliday to the Beatles to Johnny Cash! I commented to the Manager that I really enjoyed his selection of tunes and later that afternoon he delivered a CD he had burned featuring music I had heard that morning. That is service above and beyond the norm! I have the CD at home now and listen to it often. It always brings back memories of the great time we had this summer in Pismo Beach!
The pool at The Ocean Breeze Inn is great. It is bigger than the average motel pool and there is a light airy feeling inside the pool building. You can tell great care is taken to keep it clean and functional. All in all I wholeheartly suggest the next time you find yourself in Pismo Beach, check out The Ocean Breeze Inn...I can promise you won't be sorry!
Great Motel, Great Price!
My family and I recently traveled to Pismo Beach California for a celebration honoring my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Ocean Breeze Inn which is less than half a block from the beach. What a great find!! It was very clean, very comfortable and the staff was very professional. Our room had a nice view of the Ocean and the evening sunset! My kids really had fun in the indoor heated pool! Our room had a microwave and refrigerator in it and a nice big TV with HBO. Here's the best part; the price was much less than we had paid in the past at some of the other hotels in the area. All in all, my family and I give a big thumbs up to The Ocean Breeze Inn and not only will we be back, but highly reccommend it to everyone.
Great website, but it's false advertising.
I will say that the gentleman I made the reservations with was nice and welcoming, but I was and am very displeased with Ocean Breeze Motel. Within 20 minutes of checking in I checked right on out.
I've stayed in all kinds hostels with hostel prices. The Ocean Breeze MOTEL ranks down there with worst hostels, and I was expected to pay over $100/night.
The room was hot with no A/C and no screen on the window (bugs & robbers are not my cup of tea). Their was a ceiling fan but the pull chain was completely missing so it was of no use. The walls had been repainted without being patched, so holes and bald spots were all over. The bathroom counters had holes in them that someone had attempted to repair (poorly) and then painted over (in a different color) with what looked like, of all things, nail polish . The damage was quite noticeable.
The lighting provided by the 2 small lamps was poor and I had to pay a $5 cash deposit for the TV's remote control and the room key, which was a single key handed to me. No handy keychain, no room number, nothing; easy to lose.
When I attemped to make other sleeping arraingments using the phone I found I couldn't. After pressing "0" the front desk told me I needed to come down and make another cash deposit to use the phone.
My ocean view was a small patch above the roofs of neighboring buildings, the pool buliding echoed the loud screams of children and the front desk area was an office version of a junk drawer (which should have tipped me off when I checked in).
Needless to say, I returned to the front desk to check out and forfited 60 bucks for the "cancellation." (Is it a cancellation if I've already checked in? I arrived and found the facilities seriously lacking. I held up my end of the deal. It was the motel that faulterd.)
Now, days and phone calls later, my credit card has been charged rather than credited and an extra $110 was charged 4 days AFTER I left the motel.
Still waiting for $700 to be credited to my Visa.
Not happy
i have been staying there for years but the staff has been getting harder and harder to work with. yes it is old and run down and at times the other guests have been on the loud and skummey side.
and at times very routie. the last straw was i made a reservation and canceled but they still charged my credit card. they have not refunded me and i have to go the route of getting the credit card company involved. i will not be staying there again and i will tell every one that is going to pismo about the treatment i recieved
Great location, friendly folks.
I've been going to Pismo Beach for 20 years. I have stayed at most of the hotels. This place is close to the beach and for half the price. I park my car and walk every where. My kids love the indoor pool. The customers and staff are friendly.
Ocean Breeze Inn was great!
The Ocean Breeze in was very nice! Cheap, easy and fast access to the beach, not even a block to the downtown shops, attendant staff were courtious, great customer service, and the Inn even has an indoor pool which isn't much but is nice to have. Only problem was that the cancelation policy for the rooms are strict.
Family Fun
My family has been staying at this hotel for many years. Although it is old, they have remodeled. In addition, it is a great place to bring your family.
Pleasant Visit
I've stayed a the Ocean Breeze Inn and found it was a wonderful place.
Close to downtown. But far enough away that the night time noise could not be heard. We will be staying at this hotel again.
Not a family Motel
The Ocean Breeze Inn is a small two story Motel less than a block from the beach and about three blcoks from the pier. The Motel is old and the the three room suite we stayed in was fairly clean but just felt small and run down. The lime green paint job was repulsive and the pictures were noticeably screwed into the wall. To give you an idea of the clientele who frequent this establishment, you must place a deposit on your room keys and TV remote control before you check in. While we were there with our 4 children, there was a group of bikers (also staying in the Motel) drinking and smoking outside their room.
The bedding was not fitted so the sheets slipped off of the bed quite frequently. The indoor swimming pool is just plain gross. The water appeared clean but the paint is peeling on the walls and floor in the very dark pool house. It does not feel clean nor is it a place one would wish to sit and relax poolside. We let our kids swim for a bit but couldn't wait to get out of there. The pool area, like the rest of the Motel is just old and run down.
On the plus side, we found the staff to be friendly and the daytime manager to be quite helpful. When the maid left for the day without cleaning our room, the daytime manager cleaned up our room herself.
The Motel is less than a block from the beach and only a few blcoks from the pier. The Motel is cheaper than the beachfront hotels but was still $125.00 a night for a suite (in the off season).
If you are looking for a family friendly hotel this is not the place.
If you want a place to crash with your fellow surfer dudes while you ride the waves than this may be the place for you.

Travel Blogs from Pismo Beach
Coast road from Santa Barbara to Pismo Beach.
... t be able to avoid them for ever. Once we are done and out of the hotel we drive up the coast road for an hour and a half to Pismo Beach, it's a fabulous drive, very scenic, lots of very dry hills all around and no way as busy as the drive was up to Santa Barbara from LA. We make Pismo Beach Quite easily, find the hotel and go for a wander down to the beach, it's another massive beach with a really wide area from shore ...
Highway to.....Has Anyone Seen a Whale Yet?
... we now knew what to look for although photographing them proved tricky. AND we saw elephant seals lying out sleepily having a lazy Sunday afternoon nap on their own beautiful beach. This was a totally unexpected bonus. We pressed on to Pismo - a lovely holiday resort (compared to Southend by some in the party...but in a good way) with 8 miles of the finest sand I have seen in a long time - buckets and spades and building fortress america beckons ...
San Simeon to Shell beach 49 miles
... guess they can charge that for a party town by the coast, quite a difference from last nights with its flat screen & 2 huge beds plus enough room for the bikes to be in with us for $60 - must keep shoes on just in case the carpets as dirty as it looks! The lady was Indian at reception so Peter asked her if there were any good Indian restaurants around & she said yes back in San Luis Obispo, too far - she let us put the bikes in the laundry room. After a quick ...
The Extraterrestrial Highway
... and any old hotel like that was just as tacky in its heyday as modern hotels are today. Tacky becomes authentic over time.
Daylight reveals that Tonopah is a town on the wrong side of desolation, with puny, exceptionlessly infertile rocky mountains surrounding it, on which the naked eye can pick out every rock. Despite stylish, delapidated, sometimes boarded up buildings on main street, just one street behind main street it's ...
Travelling to Pismo Beach
... clear the land.
As we made our way into Pismo and to the Sandcastle Inn close to the Pier the sea breeze and ocean smells reminded me of Torquay. The beach itself is quite different...it goes as far as you can see and beyond, there is a lot of sand before you arrive at the waters edge and Californian Lifeguard stands spread along the beach. The water was freezing, waves huge and dumping a lot of water and the cool ...

Maria Bartiromo joined FOX Business Network (FBN) as Global Markets Editor in January 2014. She is the anchor of Opening Bell with Maria Bartiromo (weekdays, 9-11 AM/ET) on FBN and hosts Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo (10-11 AM/ET) on FOX News Channel (FNC).
Bartiromo has covered business and the economy for more than 25 years and was one of the building blocks of business cable network CNBC. During her 20-year tenure as the face of CNBC, she launched the network's morning program, Squawk Box; anchored The Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo; and was the anchor and managing editor of the nationally syndicated On the Money with Maria Bartiromo, formerly The Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo.
Bartiromo has been a pioneer in her industry. In 1995, she became the first journalist to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on a daily basis. She joined CNBC in 1993 after five years as a producer, writer and assignment editor with CNN Business News, where she wrote and produced some of CNN's top business programs.
She has received numerous prestigious awards, including two Emmys and a Gracie Award. Her first Emmy was for her 2008 News and Documentary coverage of the 2007-2008 financial collapse and her "Bailout Talks Collapse" coverage was broadcast on NBC Nightly News. She later won a second Emmy for her 2009 documentary, "Inside the Mind of Google," which aired globally on CNBC. Bartiromo won a Gracie Award for "Greenspan: Power, Money & the American Dream," also broadcast globally on CNBC.
In 2009, the Financial Times named her one of the "50 Faces That Shaped the Decade," and she was the first female journalist to be inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame Class of 2011. Bartiromo is the author of several books, including The Weekend That Changed Wall Street, published by Portfolio / Penguin, and The 10 Laws of Enduring Success, published by Random House; both were released in 2010.
Bartiromo writes a monthly column for USA Today. She has also written weekly columns for Business Week and Milano Finanza magazines, as well as monthly columns for Individual Investor, Ticker and Reader's Digest magazines. She has been published in the Financial Times, Newsweek, Town and Country, Registered Rep and the New York Post.
Bartiromo is a member of the Board of Trustees of New York University, the Board of Directors of the Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Economic Club of New York and the Board of Directors of The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF).
She graduated from New York University, where she studied journalism and economics. She also served as an adjunct professor at NYU Stern School of Business for the fall semesters of 2010 through 2013.
She has become part of pop culture during her career, having had cameos in several motion picture movies, playing herself in "Wall Street Two" with Michael Douglas and "Arbitrage" with Richard Gere, among others. In 1999, Joey Ramone of the Ramones rock band wrote a song about her, titled "Maria Bartiromo," which was on his final album.

An increasing number of South Africans suffer from anxiety disorders. 0 Ask CyberShrink » Blog Bipolar journey » Talk Heart to heart forum » Quiz Are you a hypochondriac? » An increasing number of South Africans suffer from anxiety disorders. But thanks to developments in psychiatry, most sufferers can be cured or enjoy a significant reduction in symptoms if their conditions are treated with a combination of medication and therapy. Take action: Follow the following self-help guidelines if you feel anxious: Picture a person you trust and imagine the person is with you, offering you encouragement; recall a time you handled a similar situation well and the good feelings you experienced at that time; focus on the present, on concrete objects around you and invent questions about every object you identify; count backwards from 20 and with every number, picture a different image of someone you love or something that calms you; remind yourself that an anxiety attack always ends.

Kentucky's First Lady speaks at Journey of Hope luncheon
Send this to a friend
- Judith Berzof
- Associate editor- Louisville Business First
- Email | Twitter
Many attending the Journey of Hope luncheon for Maryhurst on Wednesday at the Kentucky International Convention Center could relate to First Lady Jane Beshear's feelings when her newborn son was placed into her arms for the first time.
The responsibility, she said, "was overwhelming."
See the slide show at right to see photos from the luncheon.
But the mother of two and grandmother of three came to motherhood equipped with the tools necessary to succeed — a good support network and the experience of being raised in a loving home where education was valued.
Others aren't as lucky, and that's why Kentucky is grappling with the nasty problem of child abuse.
In 2012 alone, more than 15,000 Kentucky children were subjected to abuse or neglect, said Beshear.
That is also why it is so important for the community to support Maryhurst, which provides treatment programs for severely traumatized children who may be victims of abuse or neglect, she said.
Beshear called Maryhurst is "a new start, a fresh hope" for some of the most "desperate children one can imagine."
Brown-Forman Corp. was the presenting sponsor of the luncheon.
A former teacher, Beshear has made education a focus of her five years as Kentucky's first lady.
When she taught, however, Beshear said she was "pretty ignorant, sheltered and naïve." She thought everyone came from homes like hers.
She didn't think that a student of hers might be failing subjects because that student's nightly activity dealt with "fear and survival."
"I didn't think someone I knew suffered from abuse."
Abuse sometimes occurs, she pointed out, because the parent was abusive, and so it is important to break that cycle. One way is by providing help, information and support to parents.

Wieber Watch: Jordyn honored for sportsmanship by HOF
May 13, 2013, 12:29 PM EST
London gold medalist and Fierce Fiver Jordyn Wieber will be on hand in Oklahoma this week when she's awarded the first ever Nadia Comaneci Sportsmanship Award by the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.
The award, named after the famous Romanian gold medalist best known for her prefect ten on the bars at the 1976 Games, is given to an active or retired gymnast "who has demonstrated great sportsmanship or fair play."
Comaneci said she was happy to present the inaugural award to Jordyn because, as as the reigning world champ, "she showed great sportsmanship by overcoming her personal disappointment to help lead the US women to the gold medal," after failing to make the all-around finals in London.
And of course, gymnastics legends Gina Gogean of Romania, Albert Azaryan of Armenia, and Yuri Korolev and Lyubov Burda of Russia will all be inducted as part of the Hall's 2013 class.

Elmia and DLG are starting a joint venture to establish a forestry fair in Romania. To be called Forest Romania, the fair will exhibit machines and technology in operation and will be held for the first time 16 - 18 September 2015. Elmia in Jönköping organises the world's leading forestry fair, Elmia Wood. DLG in Germany organises the world's leading agricultural fair, Agritechnica, plus other agricultural fairs in several countries."We want to establish this meeting place to help international manufacturers gain a strong foothold in this interesting market when the mechanisation of forestry operations really takes off," explains Torbjörn Johnsen of Elmia. "But of course it will also be an important gathering place for everyone who works in the Romanian forest industry."
Romania is the largest forestry nation in southeast Europe but some of its neighbours such as Ukraine also have sizeable forest resources. The region as a whole has high timber values but a low level of mechanisation. The work force is still inexpensive and felling is currently done using chain saws, simple tractors and skidders. Significant volumes are even skidded out with horses. Although a lot of the standing timber is still owned by the central and municipal governments, all logging work is now done by private independent contractors or timber buyers. The annual permitted felling volume is about 18 million cubic metres.
The fair will be located in the heart of Romania's most densely forested region, near the city of Brașov in Transylvania. The forest administration in Tărlungeni (Ocolul Silvic Ciucaş RA) is providing a good site which is equipped with excellent logistics and features forest conditions that well reflect those of Romania as a whole.
"This must be the European country with the toughest logging conditions you can imagine," says Reiner Hofmann of DLG. "Steep terrain, large stems and a sparse network of forest roads place tough demands on technology and machines.
"Forest Romania will not be a fair for the broad mass of products and companies but rather only for companies that can offer solutions which work here," he adds, mentioning as examples harvesters and forwarders suitable for steep terrain and modern skidders and cable systems.
The fair will be a joint venture between Elmia and DLG in which DLG's Romanian subsidiary DLG InterMarketing will take care of the local arrangements whilst Elmia's and DLG's forestry specialists are responsible for the concept and contents.

The company that has inherited the bulk of Gunns timber plantations in Tasmania has signalled its intention to invest in more high-value wood products, beyond woodchips.
Forico is a forest management company that owns 100,000 hectares of mostly eucalypt plantations.
Forico's CEO Bryan Hayes says they are in the process of identifying the suitable plantations of Eucalyptus globulus and E. nitens for solid and engineered wood products, but it's a direction that will take between three to five years to implement.
"We have been charged with the task by our board and investors, of looking at solid wood and engineered wood opportunities," he said.
"We've already started that journey," he added.
"Forico has started identifying the best of their plantations for thinning and pruning, to build a raw material base. Such that in three to five years time we are able to look at a sustainable volume of resource to support some other solid wood type processing."

All-pro DE Richard Seymour, who has missed the first seven games of the year with an injured knee, has been put on the active roster and could play tomorrow against the Redskins.
The Pats released Santonio Holmes the other day to create the roster spot.
My Take: This can only be taken as good news. Whether or not Seymour plays tomorrow – my feeling is he will play sparingly to get ready for next week's Armageddon vs. Indy (ahhh! Houston!) – is less important that he's physically ready to at least start practicing. It was unclear through the first six and a half weeks on how significant his injury was. Now that he's back, the defense will only get better. Jarvis Green has been outstanding in Seymour's absence and will still be an important piece to the front seven.
Check back for a full preview of the Patriots-Redskins game Sunday morning.

The Los Angeles Clippers are strongly considering the signing of former San Antonio Spurs swingman Stephen Jackson to fill their growing need on the wing, according to sources familiar with the team's thinking.
Sources told ESPN.com that Jackson, who has been searching for a new team since his sudden release by the Spurs shortly before last season's playoffs in April, has emerged as a prime candidate for the Clippers to sign as early as this week after a series of injuries have decimated L.A.'s depth.
Injuries suffered by starting guard J.J. Redick, top reserve Matt Barnes and rookie forward Reggie Bullock prompted Clippers coach Doc Rivers to announce after Saturday's loss in Cleveland that the Clippers essentially "have to look somewhere" for reinforcements.
"If you guys have any names, call me and let me know," Rivers told reporters. "I'll be on the phone tonight with [Clippers executives] Gary [Sacks] and Gerald [Madkins] and Dave Wohl and I'm praying they know somebody. We'll see. You never know."
Former Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns guard Shannon Brown has also been mentioned as a potential target, but Jackson has the sort of size, 3-point shooting range and playoff résumé that could well appeal to Rivers as the Clippers search to fill the void.
It was not immediately known how the prospect of a signing this week, if it indeed comes to fruition, would impact the Clippers' well-chronicled interest in re-signing veteran forward Lamar Odom. Rivers has spoken optimistically in recent weeks about Odom's chances of returning to the Clippers after a tumultuous offseason, but the mounting injuries have left L.A. with a more pressing need than Odom might be able to fill. Earlier this month, one source briefed on the state of the Clippers' courtship of Odom estimated that a return after Christmas was the most realistic timetable as the 33-year-old continues to work his way back into basketball shape.
Redick is out at least six weeks with a fracture in the small bone in his right hand and a tear of his right ulnar collateral ligament. Barnes has been plagued by a torn retina in his left eye that has already required two surgical procedures. And Bullock suffered a suspected high ankle sprain in the loss at Cleveland.
Jackson, meanwhile, has been working out on his own in Texas in hopes of hooking up with another contender. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich abruptly released the 35-year-old in April just six days before the end of the regular season because the Spurs felt that Jackson was unwilling to accept a lesser role in the playoffs behind fast-developing youngsters Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green.
Jackson later said in numerous interviews that he actually asked the Spurs to move him before the league's annual trade deadline in February but couldn't convince them to go along with the request.

Dear Bungie, Micro$oft and Major Tom,
I am super mad at you for all the pain and grief you've put on me for the last seven hours and forty seven minutes. OMG, it's a simpel thing you had to do. All you had to do was flip the BEST BETA EVAR swich in your office and give me and the fans across the world sum Halo 3 action. But no, you n00bs couldnt' even manage that. Let's look at what I've done for you!
First of all, I gave you 60 bucks for my beta ticket i could have just left it at that, but I played the included Crackdown (more liek Suckdown!) game for over 80 hours. I got all the acheivvement points and stuff to see if it unlocked the beta early, but nothing fine, I said, I'll get my munny's worth later. I'll wait until the "official" launch date, whateva. So I waited. Like, a lot. I bought an xtra X-box 360 (an ELITE, which is awesome BTW) just in case I got red-ringed before the beta. I took the whole week off work so I could play it without being interrupted and I told my mom to leave me alone. I did all of that, and what do you give me? nothing.
You guys have lost all your credibility now. I've been staring at the crackdown menu for a whole day, when I could have been doing something useful! You wasted my time and I can never get it back!!1I could have picked up my daughter from school by now, but no, you make me sit here and wait and wait and wait until you get your freaking act together. After all that time playing Halo 2, writing fanfiction and making wallpapers of Master Chief (he pwns the stupid Arbitrary) and dedicating my days to you... this is how yuo thank me? No, let me thank you.
Thank you for completely screwing up my life, Bungie. This is all your fold!

IndyCar: A crucial weekend to commence at Mid-Ohio
Jul 31, 2014, 2:32 PM EST
This weekend's Honda Indy 200 (Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, NBCSN) will go a long ways to determining the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series championship.
With just four races remaining, the top four drivers in the standings are within 71 points. Helio Castroneves leads Will Power by 13 points, with Ryan Hunter-Reay third at 69 behind and Simon Pagenaud fourth, 71 back.
Interestingly, Castroneves is the only one of that quartet who has won at Mid-Ohio in an IndyCar. The Brazilian won back-to-back in 2000 and 2001.
The other three have Mid-Ohio podiums, but are yet to win. Power has been second in 2010 and 2012; Hunter-Reay third in 2003 and 2011 and Pagenaud third in 2012 and second a year ago.
If any of these four win, they'll break the streak currently held by Chip Ganassi Racing – which has won the last five races running at Mid-Ohio.
CGR is in the unusual position at Mid-Ohio where none of its four drivers are in realistic championship contention. Scott Dixon ranks best of the quartet in sixth, but 146 points back of Castroneves.
So if CGR makes it a six-pack – with either Dixon, defending race winner Charlie Kimball, Tony Kanaan or Ryan Briscoe – they'll be doing damage in the standings by taking points away from any of the key title contenders.
Realistically, Hunter-Reay and Pagenaud need to make some headway in points this weekend before the final three races occur in weekly succession.
Hunter-Reay must be considered favorite at Milwaukee IndyFest in two weeks, where he has won the last two weeks in a row; that's also traditionally been a Castroneves bogey track.
But for this weekend, seeing the ebb and flow between the title contenders and the Ganassi quartet will be the most interesting thing to watch.
It's worth watching the progress of drivers like James Hinchcliffe, Carlos Munoz, Marco Andretti, Justin Wilson and Josef Newgarden this weekend as well. None have won this year but this group of drivers tend to run stronger on the permanent road courses compared to the temporary street courses. Consider them your top sleepers this weekend.
- Jeff - Aug 1, 2014 at 6:46 AM
Really hoping for a sleeper or a Pagenaud win this Sunday.
- worknman24hours - Aug 2, 2014 at 3:13 PM
Glad to see Indycars back on a race track proper.
Raise Hell – drivers.

Mark Howe's fitting tribute to his father Gordie
Nov 14, 2011, 10:15 PM EST
Mark Howe lived in the shadow of his famous father Gordie … until he turned out to be an excellent professional in his own right. His inclusion in the Hockey Hall of Fame should make that perfectly clear.
That doesn't mean Mark didn't appreciate the hockey legend's presence in his life and he made that clear in his speech, as he donned Gordie's iconic Detroit Red Wings number nine jersey. (View his full speech here.)
That was arguably the most memorable moment of the night, but you might want to check out the other three inductees' speeches. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

Some U.S. cities find small steps key to storm protection
SACO, Maine
SACO, Maine (Reuters) - In the aftermath of the historic floods caused by Superstorm Sandy, some city leaders have begun to argue for the construction of sea walls capable of shielding the U.S. coastline from ever more intense storms.
But in Saco, Maine, storm protection comes in a far less glamorous package. Along what used to be Surf Street, owners of beachfront houses are jacking their homes up to allow storm surges from Saco Bay to flow underneath them.
The northeastern city of 19,000 people has reason to be wary of the water - over the past decade it has washed away six homes and in 2007 took several blocks of Surf Street itself. Today the street is a gravel track along a wall of dishwasher-size chunks of rock built by the city to blunt the force of storm waves.
The road "was damaged several times and we repaired it," said Dick Lambert, Saco code enforcement officer. But after a 2007 nor'easter swept away much of it, "We said, 'We're spending good money after bad. This time we're going to stop.'"
The Saco City Council in May also adopted a resolution requiring owners of waterfront buildings who rebuild or do substantial renovations to raise them 3 feet (0.9 meters) above forecast 100-year flood levels - a projection of low-lying areas likely to be flooded once a century on average.
Saco is one of numerous U.S. municipalities and states looking to small steps to fend off the higher seas and more frequent storms forecast to accompany climate change. Sandy's destructiveness is only likely to increase those efforts.
"People want to look to a big, bold project they can point to that will make people feel safe," such as sea walls, said Adam Freed, a Nature Conservancy director who until August was one of New York City's top officials on sustainability. But those big projects, he added, do not guarantee safety.
They may also be prohibitively expensive at a time when federal, state and city budgets are under immense strain, with lawmakers looking for ways to rein in spending.
At the national level, debates about higher waters and more intense storms get caught up in the politics of climate change, but for coastal communities the discussion is a simpler one - what do to about the more frequent storms their residents may face.
"Cities have been leaders on this," Freed said. "Just like there's no Democratic or Republican way to keep the streets clean, there is no Democratic or Republican way to protect a city. There is a pragmatic, practical way of doing it."
Saco's new rule grew out of a 2006 state report that urged Maine's coastal communities to prepare for the sea level to rise by two feet by 2100.
Diane Doyle, a Maine contractor who on a recent morning was overseeing renovations to a waterfront house her firm had raised to meet the new standards, said that more frequent storms have caught area residents' attention.
"Even for houses that aren't in the flood zone, we are doing more to be prepared down the road," Doyle said, noting that when she renovates houses that do not have to be raised by law, she still encourages homeowners to consider installing ground-level floors that can withstand water.
Despite the devastation that Katrina brought to New Orleans in 2005 and now Sandy has brought to coastal communities in New York and New Jersey, few cities have even finished planning for climate change, a recent study by JoAnn Carmin of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found.
Just 13 percent of U.S. cities had completed such an assessment, according to the study, which in total looked at 468 cities worldwide.
Planners said they had few resources available to help their cities adapt to a changing climate - not just the threat of more storms - with a large number listing securing funds as a major challenge to their ability to plan.
Those budget problems mean that costly solutions, like New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's proposal to build a sea wall system at a cost of $20 billion, are unlikely to see the light of day, experts said.
"It's not just about technical solutions, it's not just about pouring money into infrastructure, but it's also about culture change and cultural expectations," said Brian Holland, climate-change program director at ICLEI.
Other simple steps cities can take include using low-lying coastal areas as parks, which can be flooded and return to normal use once waters recede, or moving waste-water pumping stations to higher elevations where they are less likely to be swamped and release effluent, Holland said.
Up and down the U.S. East Coast, local officials have adopted similar small-scale reforms that can make it easier for their residents to weather and recover from more frequent flood events without straining local budgets.
"There are a lot of stresses on communities and they have very limited resources and staff and also dollars for engineering," said Julia Knisel, coastal shoreline and floodplain manager for the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management. "It is an incremental process."
Massachusetts is offering credits of permit fees for developers of some coastal properties that raise their buildings above minimum state standards.
Maryland has adopted regulations requiring coastal communities looking to defend themselves from flooding to do so with dunes and native plants, which can soften the impact of storm waves, rather than by building vertical sea walls.
In Freeport, Maine, town officials are considering installing one-way valves on storm sewers to prevent ocean waters from rushing into them and flooding parts of the city during storms.
"It's challenging because a lot of it is not high-profile, amazingly visible, politically winning projects," said MIT's Carmin. "Storm drains are just not a popular political platform. They're necessary, but people want to hear about education, about other things, they don't want to hear, 'We're going to improve our storm drain system.'"
Some experts argue that it is time to rethink not only the assumptions underlying 100-year and 500-year flood projections, but to change the way those risk assessments are communicated.
"If you tell me I can win the lottery once every 100 years, I'll probably never play. But if you tell me I have a 1 percent chance of winning every year, that puts me in a different position," said Louis Gritzo, a vice president at FM Global, a commercial property insurer that takes an engineering bent in its underwriting. "The way that risk is communicated is extremely important, as that influences the way businesses and municipalities make their decisions on where to invest their resources."
