Shhh! Don't look over here! STOP, I TOLD YOU NOT TO. See, if nobody pays attention, then no one will notice that the BOX OFFICE IS FADING LIKE A PUNCH-DRUNK BOXER! Seriously, after posting one of the worst Novembers on record, December ain't exactly tearin' it up. Narnia 3: Revenge of River Jesus is a dud, even in 3D. Nobody found the Jolie/Depp pairing believable. Hell, if it wasn't for Disney's Tangled, PR folks from the studios would be marching with pitchforks and torches just to distract us from the fact that nobody is seeing movies right now. Why is that I wonder? Oh...right...there's NOTHING GOOD OUT. Studios gave the last Harry Potter flick too much breathing room and everything else is pretty awful. There are some good things on the horizon, True Grit and Black Swan in particular, but things are looking lean this Christmas for the execs. Let's all take a minute to feel really bad for them. And for me, because boy did I biff this week.
Here are the results, haiku style:
1.) Narnia 3: No Mo' Narnia Please - $24.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 40%)
So much for this one. Looks like "The Final Battle" came early this time.
2.) The Tourist - $17 million (Accuracy of prediction - 76.5%)
No spark, all fizzle. Angelina Jolie sucks so bad, Aniston loves it.
3.) Tangled - $14.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 98%)
One bit of good news: People still love kids movies... without Narnia.
4.) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - $8.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 98%)
Not a bad outing, but not the series' best one. As the money shows.
5.) Unstoppable - $3.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 100%)
Choo-choo goes bye-bye? This has hung on for too long. End of the line, pals.
Overall accuracy of prediction - 82.5%
I'm better than this. Not that you can tell right now. Take my word for it.
Okay, that's it. Y'all have a happy Monday and let's meet tomorrow to enjoy it not being Monday.

Greetings! I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with shopping and much mirth and merriment. I borked my back shoveling, and the Chicago Bears lost to the New England Patriots 389 to -12. That score may not be accurate but it perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the game. Thus, let it be said that I face this Monday with all the positivity and energy of a roadkilled skunk. I have the Christmas spirit of Glenn Beck's bizarro counterpart (wait, I may be that way normally). I have the work ethic of Yogi Bear (the cartoon layabout and not the CGI abomination coming to wreak havoc on your soul and drop excrement in your brain this holiday season). In short, I need a superhero to save this Monday.
By the might of Odin's cankles! By the power of Odin's empty eye socket sweat! I must say, that was a particularly fun little trailer, right?! I mean, I enjoyed myself with all the kicking and the punching, but then Natalie Portman ran in slow-motion and I was all "hellooooo NURSE!" She's actually a nurse in the movie. That makes that joke really funny.
Thor was always going to be a tough sell. All the other Marvel movies have taken place clearly in the "real world." You know, the "real world" where people make full suits of armor that fly and stuff. Bridging the gap between the "magic" and the "science" isn't going to be totally as easy as having Thor say something like "in my world, they're the same thing." Oh, and your world is an ancient place where Gods dwell...there goes that science stuff you were just talking about. So here's what Thor really has to do: be cool and fun. I know that some of the first stills from the movie got savaged by online bloggers...but those same online bloggers were mysteriously quite silent when those turd-a-licious Green Lantern images came out. I wonder if that had something to do with most of those same bloggers having been given a set visit to the latter and not the former. Hell, even when the trailer for The Green Lantern debuted to the pomp and circumstance of a pigeon fart, looking like something some lonely, abstinent-by-other-people's-choice nerd put together in his basement, most bloggers said "just you wait, we saw the set and good things are coming." I don't care how many good things are coming for that Green Lantern movie: The suit looks awful, the supporting aliens look goofy, the tone seems all wrong, the acting is off, I could go on. Yet, somehow Thor was being poked fun at by folks?! Well, I hope this trailer restores the sanity. Everything looks right about this to me. From the over-the-top Hopkins yelling to the lightning-aided power slam at the end. It's Thor. If you don't like it, you don't like Thor. And that's cool, because not everybody likes everything. But just like the second Hulk movie was as close to the Hulk as anyone will ever get, this looks to be as close to Thor as a Thor movie will ever be.
So, quick recap: Thor looks fun. The Green Lantern looks like a fanboy hate crime. That's all.
Follow me on Twitter to hear more deep thoughts like these.

Nothing happened yesterday and today. I don't mean literally. People did stuff and things. Just nobody did anything particularly noteworthy. You can always tell thin movie news days based on when sites run things like "Videos of the Day" that are goofy or drop shots of new posters like it warrants a whole post unto itself. I mean, Matt Damon MAY be talking about starring in the new Neill Blomkamp movie, Guillermo Del Toro is starting a production company, the Thor preview drops soon...but when people are running double-removed rumors about secret projects, covering stories about someone's new production shingle, and are DESCRIBING shot-by-shot what a trailer that is going to be posted soon WILL look like, you know it's a good day to sit back and take it easy. That's the Cutting Room guarantee: In the absence of real and/or truly interesting news, I will either do nothing or run a photo of Evangeline Lilly. Possibly both.
So there you go. Now, moving on to the box office stuff. The new Narnia is going to hit this week and will determine if they're going to wrap everything up with at least one more movie. There's apparently something that happens called "the last battle" in this series. If you drag us through 7 hours of things like a River Jesus and poorly CGI horsie things, you should really at least shoot the "last battle." So I hope that it does well enough to warrant that. Given the built-in Christian audiences, there is at least that chance. The other flick, The Tourist, is going to sizzle then fizzle. I predict a nice opening before a total kersplat. And not just because better movies are opening, but because people have apparently forgotten that Angelina Jolie, while good at philanthropic work and formerly beautiful (before she became the skeleton of someone who used to be beautiful), is a terrible, terrible actress. Never good. Never. So there are your new movies that will heat things up.
Here's how I see the weekend box office, haiku style:
1.) Narnia 3: Mo' Narnia Mo' Problems - $48 million
It's Lion Jesus! He will save you with growling! That's the take-home theme.
2.) The Tourist - $25 million
Hey, it's Johnny Depp! And Angelina Jolie?!?!?! That's all this has got.
3.) Tangled - $15 million
Disney Princesses will always be popular. CGI or not.
4.) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - $9 million
Okay, we're ready. Bring on the final chapter. No more foreplay, K?
5.) Burlesque - $3.5 million
I can't keep this up. This must leave the top 5 now. Please make that happen.
WILDCARD - Unstoppable - $3.5 million
Enough with the train. This has run its course by now. Emergency STOP!
Okay, that's it. You have a great, safe, fun holiday-time weekend. Be merry and stuff, or I'll tell Santa. He and I are boys. I'll also tell him if you don't follow me on Twitter.

Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
Erin Foster thanks for talking with me this afternoon. So what do what are your feelings Karen after after listening to your husband after after knowing that this story was. Going to be discussed publicly what what are your feelings about that. Feeling the -- point of it and we wanted to go. Public with however under the advice to her -- is we actually had not because it and depending. What end -- we. Can't about a very. Very strongly that she did we chose to try to get in the open the DL unit that we would have to go public with that. You know I try to. When you think that the charges that someone has been the people still does not -- been -- -- tell you. That's typically what happens because the if so what we're trying to protect the facilities -- our country has done very good to. Job -- and there and I think these individuals who didn't many to think that is. Is necessary. How are all of me. We think that made entry into the -- and quality but -- -- -- can't you change to sort out which we're. But -- over on. The guidelines. For sex offender registration and still to think that Pennsylvania. Had adopted that -- all black here. During the 2012 and 30. -- come with that -- -- look at the fate of the they have -- Allowed thing that's happened that ordinarily wouldn't and regular -- -- for example. Retro active end reclassification. As -- of that nature of many many as. -- -- as unconstitutional. That too many -- -- -- and at the -- -- -- remember. Senate in Pennsylvania portion unconstitutional. So now it's a typical the fight this because -- It spoke to eat it in the competition but not constitutional -- -- -- Make a couple of red -- from jurisdiction. And require buying them and and higher. So what court determined Pennsylvania's Megan's law to be unconstitutional. And you can import. Superior courts. Well if the law is unconstitutional why does the state police still maintain the list. -- it could protect the club -- out before the UK you can actually went into unconstitutional what does that currently opening topple ball. All -- -- my understanding is the law is still an -- Karen. She would not -- but. Portions of it had been repealed and beaten to. It -- as good as usual did Mike's case is pending. Pending before move. Pending before it -- -- approach and it. Are you working do -- all. Pardon -- disabilities. Full. What what is actually pending is their preceding -- how they. Actually no actual critiquing another part of the problem with lack of duke got a. So so now shall we say it's pending. I don't really I don't know what that means. Well I've got to go out and blow your pending. Patent they can't straight out. To be some guidelines that I'm the I have to kind of didn't. And absorb the Pennsylvania -- with the breaking a lot of English and looked at the time now that -- -- -- -- -- Clinton had to get. Really cannot I don't know what I don't know what that is and then you're no attorney in neither myself I have no idea what you're talking about. -- on the list she's required to register he was told by the state police twice. That he was required to register register the first time. He dismissed it because he said his lawyer told me didn't have to the second time when he sent a Scranton police officer tipped them off. To the fact if you register by Monday's state police are gonna charge him with failing to register. He then did goal and he did register. As a right now do you have any. Concerns. That she is working. -- a -- with a crime watch for Bob a year after initially being told that he needed to register do you think that hurts the credibility of your organization. I don't think he felt. And I'm irritated because of the I continue to get good work should. It -- the -- their community and then again that flop and say that. There's been -- part of that is. -- -- -- -- -- -- for people that ordinarily wouldn't be there. Option look like and and there are always issues there can be brought to the attention of the courts that can be appealed that can be challenged. But according to -- he hasn't taken any formal. Action to challenge -- he doesn't -- warrior he told me who's currently working on this. He he he said that he hopes. The American Civil Liberties Union gets involved but they get thousands of cases and requests to get involved there's no guarantee there. He is on the list and I think what concerns of people with whom I've spoken. Is the fact that for a -- a year after he was first told you better register as a sexual offender he did not do that. And continue to work continue to deal -- children continued to be part of the leadership of the crime watch. And some people believe that that that you -- Nolan about this helped him deceive the community is that true. It was not something that we've done it intentionally be very -- we were told by carrying that we did not need to go any further with that and rerouted again. Understanding that I had come up with some sort of arranged -- -- -- on the fact that. That is an advocate requirement will no longer need it. But do you feel as the president of the crime -- someone who received the national award from the from the national sheriffs association. Even with -- Megan's law -- without the list do you think it was appropriate. -- Mike Foster. And admitted criminal a man who has pleaded guilty. To sexual battery on a drunken sixteen year old child do you believe that was appropriate for him to even be part of the crime watch. Well when I need. My parents work. I did not know Mike when that happens. And -- believe that he told Maine within our first meeting that about a situation. And -- and that is security clearances were far higher than me at school teacher I felt that it. Think we're not being -- as being out of a -- problem then I felt bad. That would. You know he's. -- and -- definitely -- dot com. Don -- I got a I'm a little bit and -- it happened at can't trump let it. From a personal relationship perspective that's entirely up to a person. But I'm I'm talking about the impact of keeping this quiet within the community within the crime watch community itself which within the organization. Knowing full well that this is a guy who pleaded guilty to. Sexual battery want a drunken teenager I think that the people are more concerned about his presence had reason to be concerned. Yeah. Their opinions and that they're concerned. I can't tell them all from that but. Aren't you know and I hadn't conserve conserve my own personal safety and well we'll look. We're really talking about that right now -- we're talking about him and you and leadership. Of the organization he stepped away he must have thought that this was important. For him to tell you about it during your first meeting. He must've thought that this was significant and it is significant it absolutely insignificant I don't know whether he had security clearances or not I'd have to see them. I don't know what kind of a record or lack of record he has I'd have to check it. But I do know what he's admitted to I do know that he's on Megan's list. I do know that she says she's got no cheering ahead of him he's got. No -- understanding of how long he's gonna be on the list he could be on that list for the rest of his life. And -- people are concerned because your organization does -- public funds. The organization has a police chief on the board of directors a former police chief Dan Duffy was on the board of directors. And people are wondering whether they can trust your organization anymore. He backed out from the numbers it. Then with what they've had served. The data to be put pressure and continue attacks or or something -- away and a likable -- the group the money my intentions are for the betterment of the community. There was some talk of my resignation and quite frankly -- -- nothing. To do with me and the work that I'm doing. There was talk -- no resignation because of Mike's situation. And who had that conversation. -- I really don't wanna get into that right now. Well you brought it up if somebody -- you resign because your husband was on Megan's list I think that's. -- -- -- Well the first thing. You on the trial listened -- but if you go until I get help from your representation. With the government they don't want to get anywhere near you because they don't wanna be associated with the money Obama -- -- you can gamble for about ten. The final curtain and and has great. People -- effects are being violated that -- and there are jobs should try to help -- but that. Happened. So as far as as you're concerned are you downplaying. His behavior in the past are you saying that there was just something that happened in the you move him. And and the time that I've known him there's -- no other action situation. -- -- This is the reason that -- bring -- Karen is you have a reputation of being sort of hardcore. When it comes to crime when it comes to taking a position on crime and criminals. And this seems to be a little bit out of character for you because. You've always been quick to meet and make statements like. You don't know necessarily who's living next door some people might say do you you don't necessarily know who you're the maritime. I can't actually -- know who unmarried at this point you've been a very hard at work so older guess -- -- metals. -- also panic at that. I believed that it get people at a certain time and they have not committed any other crimes they have the right debris and search. Unity and be. I -- that different. Absolutely but like you saw on this list he's he's different from a lot of people who have served their time I'm all for supporting ex offenders as long as they work. According to move the long and the responsibility in the ethics trickle into -- you're creating. A new persona. But I also recognize them. You're watching right and I -- I also recognize. That there are a lot of people. Put a lot of faith in Megan's law to protect children because children have. And harmed children have been killed. And I don't know any crime watch -- president. Who would downplay the significance of Megan's law. Well can there be any applicant to put a little bit further than they attacked the while not perfect. Candidate and there may need to change something half. Basically what happened is that what are the way to change things but really really good people that should be all right let's just going to be under the framework of people that. Found himself that unfortunate situation and they are not intelligent under it or not. Maybe I can maybe we can have a community meeting about Megan's law because knowledge say in the forefront the people in west side not park particularly. While where this you're in the process of putting money together to build a huge senators that wrote. -- Yes so I mean when the crime watches a ball and you -- and this issue deals with children. This is something that needs to be talked about I appreciate you taking the time Kara Foster to talk with Dawson and I wish you well with this. All right so I think what I wanna say is that I have been served thirty years the military. Many of those jeered as baby seal -- decorated. Your husband was a navy -- He was if you can do. And until he can corroborate gotten doctor Maria and it. At least thirty years OK okay broke no one else you enclosing her. She spends most years he popped -- and the the competition in the United States and some of the way we look at it now. Those same rights are being violated so. I'd probably have to take this -- the clear his name. OK Kara Foster president of the west Scranton the Hyde Park. Neighborhood watch.

BLANTYRE, Malawi (AP) - Malawian activists who helped organize last week's protests say there will be more demonstrations unless the president addresses their grievances.
Protest organizer Rafiq Hajat said Monday that President Bingu wa Mutharika has until August 16 to resolve persistent fuel and foreign exchange shortages. Hajat says otherwise protests will begin the next day.
Mutharika on Sunday reshuffled the country's military leadership after anti-government protests in three major cities. Officials said Monday that the death toll had risen by one to 19 after the protests turned violent.
While the military has withdrawn from major cities, a police remained on the streets Monday when Mutharika visited shops and businesses that were attacked and looted during the unrest.

9. Run Run Run
Making Music History
Historic in every way, the rare Velvet Underground and Nico acetate is back on the market. As the only surviving copy of the record, this album has it all: a rich history and an incredible sound.
The Recording
In April 1966, Velvet Underground recorded the test-press acetate with Norman Dolph — a sales executive at Columbia Records — at Scepter Studios in New York City. Andy Warhol, who was managing Velvet Underground at the time, had recently befriended Dolph, and went to him when the band was looking for a studio. Dolph helped the band land studio time at Scepter Studios. And, he made a deal with Warhol: Warhol would paint him one original painting and he would ghost-produce the project. The band worked with Dolph over several days in the studio. During those sessions, Velvet Underground recorded some of their most famous tracks:
European Son
Black Angel's Death Song
All Tomorrow's Parties
I'll Be Your Mirror
Femme Fatale
Venus In Furs
I'm Waiting For The Man
Run Run Run
After Warhol and Dolph pitched the album to Columbia Records, Columbia rejected it. Eventually, in 1967, Verve Records released a re-recording of the album with Tom Wilson as the official producer.
Since then, the album has become one of the most influential rock albums in history. It appears as No. 13 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Rock Albums of All Time.
Making History
Almost 50 years later, the original recording is still making history. In 2002, collector Warren Hill stumbled upon the Scepter Sessions acetate at a street sale in New York. He bought it for 75 cents. Hill researched the delicate acetate's history and determined its true value. He then listed the acetate on eBay, knowing that he had something truly valuable to sell. While the initial auction had a closing bid of $155,401, the bidder never finalized the transactio. Hill then re-listed the record and an anonymous investor bought it for $25,200. A limited edition pressing of 5,000 was released on Black Friday/Record Store Day of 2012, supposedly made from Moe Tucker's copy of the acetate.
Back on Auction
In July 2014, the rare Velvet Underground acetate will be for sale again. Shuga Records—a high-quality Chicago record store that specializes in one-of-a-kind items—is conducting an online auction on behalf of the record's owner.

This smoothie is extremly refreshing and is a healthy alternative for breakfast or dessert. The nutmeg is what makes it special.
The ice will help to make it chilled and the ice-cream is used for the consistency.
Way too much nutmeg. Next time I will only use 1/2 teaspoon. -

Police: Santa Barbara Area Drug Dealer Arrested
Updated On: Jan 14 2014 01:54:54 PM CST
A three-month narcotics investigation culminated with the arrest of 46-year-old Robert Keith Banks of Inglewood, for possession of heroin for sale, transportation of heroin, and possession of an unlawful weapon. Banks was a supplier of illegal drugs to the Santa Barbara area.
Over 9 ounces of heroin were seized during this operation. In October 2013 detectives from the Santa Barbara Police Department's Narcotics Unit initiated an investigation into Banks's narcotics activities.
He was already wanted on a $20,000.00 arrest warrant for violation of probation stemming from a previous narcotics case.
The investigation resulted in Banks being contacted and arrested for his warrant in the parking lot of the McDonald's Restaurant at 1115 Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria at 8:40 p.m. on January 8, 2014. Banks was found to be in possession of 9.75 ounces of heroin valued at $9,300.00.
He was also found to be armed with a collapsible police-style baton. Investigation revealed that at the time he was contacted Banks was in the process of transporting heroin from the Los Angeles area to a local drug dealer.
Banks was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on the aforementioned charges with a bail amount of $30,000.00.

TRENTON, N.J. – The Democratic mayor of a town severely flooded by Superstorm Sandy said Sunday that she was told an ultimatum tying recovery funds to her support for a prime real estate project came directly from Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a claim a Christie spokesman called categorically false.
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer said she met with federal prosecutors in Newark for several hours Sunday at their request and turned over a journal and other documents.
I will provide any requested information and testify under oath about the facts of what happened when the Lieutenant Governor came to Hoboken and told me that Sandy aid would be contingent on moving forward with a private development project, she said Sunday night.
Earlier Sunday, Zimmer told CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley that the message pushing a commercial development by the New York-based Rockefeller Group was delivered by Kim Guadagno, Christie's lieutenant governor, when she and Guadagno were at an event in Hoboken in May to celebrate the opening of a new supermarket.
Christie spokesman Colin Reed issued a statement Sunday saying, Mayor Zimmer's categorization about her conversation in Hoboken is categorically false.
The U.S. attorney's office and a state legislative panel are investigating allegations that Christie aides engineered traffic jams in Fort Lee by closing lanes to the George Washington Bridge, possibly as payback against the town's Democratic mayor, who didn't endorse Christie for re-election.

Region: Powderhorn
Thursday night at the American Swedish Institute will feature art creations in the garden. The name for the evening comes from the Swedish tradition hyttsill — which amusingly translates to "hot shop herring" in English — where people gather to dine and drink while artists create glass works in front of them. That's exactly what will happen here, with demonstrations from Swedish artist Fredrik Nielsen. Activities include hands-on glass-art-making activities, and games of kubb (a Swedish lawn game). There will be plenty to eat and drink, of course, with Swedish street food (the press release hints that herring is on the menu), original ice-cream flavors from Pumphouse Creamery, wine, cocktails from FIKA, and beer from Indeed Brewery. Live music is to be provided by Southside Desire and the Golden Bubbles, with special performances by Theater Coup d'Etat. 21+.

Can you buy Kobe beef?
- c
- cleopatra999 Feb 22, 2008 09:25 PM
I have seen it in a few restaurants....is there anywhere that I can purchase kobe beef to cook myself (in Alberta, especially Edmonton)? I cannot justify spending $60+ for a steak, but getting it for home, should be a lot more reasonable.
We arent actually able to buy real Kobe beef here - what you see on restaurant menus is "Kobe-Style beef" - which comes from the same breed (Wagyu) as the cows that comprise "Kobe beef." The other two components (diet, and handling) arent the same as the way they handle these cows in Japan.
Wagyu served in Alberta is usually either Alberta raised, or US raised. In my opinion, it isnt worth the price. Good quality triple A (like say the Sterling Program) or Canadian Prime i actually like better.
If you insist on wanting to try Wagyu Beef, i believe there are a few butchers in town that carry it. Call around and ask.
One interesting note is that Kobe beef won the annual beef competition in Japan in the early 90's. Since then, it has been surpassed by a variety of districts that produce superior beef (Mie District, for example, has produced several winners over the past 10 years - like Matsusaka beef) to Kobe. Kobe is more marketing name than actual beef from Kobe these days.
I know you're posting from Canada, but I might point out that in the United States, US beef from the genetic cousins of Kobe cattle may be sold as Kobe (not Kobe-style, just Kobe). If you can get your hands on the real deal, be sure it is, in fact, the real deal.
SIDEBAR: When was the ban lifted on sales to the US? I thought the ban was still on but after researching to respond to this, I now believe it IS available.
re: NYChristopher
I believe January 2007. But don't quote me on that.
As for the "real deal" - i guess it's a matter of opinion. Genetic cousins is one thing - handling and diet another. I've had US Kobe beef, and let me tell you, it is *nothing* like the beef i had in Japan. It's good beef in it's own right - i just wouldnt call it Kobe beef, no matter what the marketers say.
But it's good to know that you are allowed to market US Wagyu as Kobe Beef.
re: cleopatra999
There was a discussion about this a year ago, and no one really had an answer. Canada Prime is, in theory, the best available sourceable product. But it's really only sold to restaurants because of a limited supply. I havent been able to find any place that sells it. The only way I've found to get it is to have a friend in the restaurant industry and get them to order it for you!
The reason i say sourceable is because a lot of good steak places (if that's what you're trying to emulate) handle or process their steak after they get it. Dry aging, for example, increases flavour. This will make it even more difficult to emulate, unless you wish to start trying to dry age your meat as well :)
I'd suggest trying a few butchers and seeing if any of them dry age their beef. They'd likely use a AAA, but my guess is the aging probably contributes more to the overall flavour than using prime would. One study i read found negligible returns in flavour after 28-30 days, other than a massive loss in volume, so don't pay an exhorbitant amount for anything dry aged over that period of time. Just a warning though, it won't be cheap. Dry aging creates a lot of shrinkage and rot, you're paying for the processing and for how much initial product was required to produced the dry aged meat.
There is a farm in Camrose Alberta that raises wagyu cattle. Google Wagyu Canada and you should find them. They would be able to tell you where they sell their meat.
I just did some googling and found this-
Looks like you can buy real wagyu (from Japan) in Richmond so I'm sure you could get it in Calgary too, but I don't know where. That link has a great explanation of wagyu.
There are lots of places in New York with wagyu on the menu, but I think it's a bit of a scam. The one place I tried it was WD-50 (I think) and it was definitely not wagyu- and it was very expensive. It tasted like chewy North American beef to me.
I found Japanese beef so drastically better than North American beef that I am surprised that more places don't sell it.
If you do get your hands on some wagyu don't expect to just cook cook it like a steak. It may also be already sliced when you buy it. You can do shabu shabu, or just cook it on a hot surface and dip it into a sauce.
They sell what seems like real wagyu at Hapa in Kitsilano. Is there any restaurant in Calgary that sells (or claims to sell) wagyu?
re: Mawson Plan
I frequent the Nikuya at their Hastings St and Renfrew location here in Vancouver (which is oddly not listed on their website). You can get real wagyu, Aussie wagyu, and American wagyu there. They will ship it to anywhere in Canada - but with some quantity and timing restrictions.
re: vandan
That explains it. I now have to drive to Richmond....agh.
re: cleopatra999
I guess it could be something that people get away with calling American Kobe, which they then falsely (in my opinion) classify as Wagyu. It is guaranteed to not be from Kobe though and is not what people want when they are paying so much to try Kobe beef.
re: foodsnobz
its called urban fare
re: foodsnobz
This is from the Nikuya website (and is confirmed elsewhere):" "Kobe Beef" is a brand of Wagyu Beef that is produced from cattle that is raised and slaughtered in Hyogo Prefecture where Kobe is the largest city. Technically speaking, only Kobe Beef raised and slaughtered in Hyogo Prefecture can be called "Kobe Beef" but currently there are no meat packing plants in Hyogo Prefecture that are eligible to export their beef overseas."
In other words "No!" Kobe beef is not for sale at urban fare. Maybe this 'American Kobe' fake wagyu is for sale- but not Kobe beef. It's possible that they are importing stuff that is better than kobe, but I doubt that's what thy are selling or they would probably try to market it as what it actually is. You will be able to tell in part by how fatty it is. It should mostly white with bits of red in it. I think that misconceptions about Kobe beef have robbed a lot of hounds of good money and denied them a chance to taste how remarkable wagyu really is.
re: Mawson Plan
MP - thanks for the great link to the Nikuya website. Im excited at the possibility of getting real A5 here - including Matsuzaka beef!
As for your term "fake wagyu" - i'd just like to point out wagyu is a breed of cow, so technically, American Wagyu, Alberta Wagyu isnt fake - it just isnt what, as you've pointed out, the consumer is looking for when they hear the words "Kobe Beef"
re: yen
Wikipedia might not always be accurate, but here's something from them: "Wagyu (和牛 wagyū) refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat,".
From my understanding these cows are only in Japan and wagyu literally translates to 'Japanese Cow'. So wagyu applies to many breeds of Japanese cows, but in my mind not the hybrid part Japanese cow North American breeds. In my opinion wagyu is only Japanese beef. From my experience eating what is sometimes called wagyu here, and the 'real' stuff in Japan- the 'real' wagyu is way better. I would still call North American hybrids 'fake' wagyu.
re: Mawson Plan
Im not disputing your assertion that the North American Wagyu tastes different, and is in no way competitive with the Wagyu bred in Japan, but Wagyu is a breed, it has nothing to do with geography. A human being in Japan is the same as a human being in Canada. It's like saying Canadian-rasied Galloway Beef, because it is not from Galloway, is fake Galloway Beef.
At the end of the day, i understand it's a sensitive issue for many people in the cattle industry, as the question of genetics, pure bred, quality of genetic stock, and a variety of other factors come into question. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. To me, quality is a whole different equation - not part of what makes a breed real or fake. Even though a lot of crossbreeding has taken place with the Wagyu breed, they've managed to get most cattle stocks up to what is essentially pure-bred status, That's enough for me.
As an FYI, when my wife and I were at the Waldorf in NYC this summer they had a new hybrid beef on the menu...the name escapes me it was something like washugyu (a cross between Washinton the state and Wagyu beef). The chef admited to us is it was overrated and overpriced, but it represents at least one attempt to create an American Wagyu cross breed. I have never been impressed with Kobe style Beef with the exception of at Social House in Vegas whre it appears on the sushi menu. I have no idea if was real Kobe, Kobe style or some such thing, but raw it was fabulous.
re: foodiesnorth
I have only had Wagyu beef once, that was in Sonoma, it was incredible, there was a big difference for us. I am sure that the preparation helped it was a rib eye, trimmed to about 2.5 oz and done in a wellington. It was like butter! Amazing, I dream about it still.
re: cleopatra999
I too have it on occasion at restaurants in Edmonton.
I will not get into the "fake Wagyu", "American Wagyu" "Kobe" debate as Yen and Mawson Plan and in particular the website link that latter inserted into his/her Sep 27 post have amply dealt with it.
I know the beef I ate did not come from Kobe, Japan. It likely came from the rancher near Camrose that Dan G mentioned or from Snake River, Idaho whose products I did see in Urban Fair during the relatively short period it was in the Crestwood Shopping Centre here in Edmonton.
I always assume that anything called "Kobe" is in fact North American raised Wagyu or Wagyu/Black Angus as otherwise the prices would be astronomical.
Sonny Song when he spent more time at the downtown location of Sorrentino's had it occasionally. I had a New York strip which was very good. Was it "out of this world"? Not particularly. I will have to get to Sage some evening to try their "prime".
The "best" version I have enjoyed was a capaccio. It was like eating "butter". For others that "texture" may be off-putting I just looke dup at your last post and saw your reference to the "wellington" so you know exactly what I mean.
re: cleopatra999
If the ribeye was trimmed to 3 oz, it's usually a "heart" cut out of the eye of the ribeye . This is the same cut that they use in the Delmonico-cut ribeye. Just FYI - in case you ever see it on another menu and wanted to see if it was the beef, or the cut! :) I've seen Delmonico cut ribeye at Sage before.
re: tdeane
I have had it many times as a tataki/carpaccio at various izakaya here. Hapa makes a good one. Because it is sliced paper thin, the beef is very tender.
I believe the typical preparation method is: sear lightly, then freeze briefly to simplify slicing, then slice on a deli slicer or knife, let it come up to room temp prior to serving.
re: tdeane
I don't agree...we have had kobe/kobe style (very well marbled) at some very good restaurants. My favourite presentation was "sushi" at Social House in Vegas. I have had it otherwise (as a taktaki and carpaccio) and it is wonderful. Slightly chilled, it is the best in all three presentations. Very thin and at just cool, the fat mels, but in your mouth.
re: foodiesnorth
I'm with tdeane. I usually like medium rare meat, but the wagyu I bought/cooked/ordered/ate in Japan was better (the best beef I've ever eaten) when the red was cooked out of it. From what I saw in Japan beef of this quality is usually cooked either in broth or on a fire or hot stone. I know Vegas has some good places to eat but I'm standing by my take that even really good North American chefs don't quite know what wagyu is or how to cook it.
re: Mawson Plan
In Japan, I've had it as both sushi and a steak at the same meal. I do like a
it better as a good steak, I have to admit.
re: Mawson Plan
Would it help my poition for you to know all the cooks at Social House are Japanese trained sushi chefs? We always sit at the sushi bar and talk to them. I don't think they are North American in any sense other than geographic :-)
re: foodiesnorth
I guess the thing that I don't agree with is the assertion that Kobe Beef is not intended to be eaten raw. It's done in Japan and it's done here....so it's fair game and all good :-)
Why would you want to?
If you are looking for the very best prime rib, go to Smuggler's on south Macleod Trail in Calgary. I have travelled through many parts of the Globe and have never had a better cut than at Smuggler's.
If you come to vancouver there is a small japaneese butcher behind the sherman williams paint store at bridgeport and simpson in richmond they sell the real deal there.
driving east on bridgeport it is before simpson just after rail way tracks you can turn on simpson buth then you need to turn west and it is in the cult desac there.
sorry i cant think of the name or address
re: gourmet wife
Carpaccio! (Sear, freeze briefly, slice thinly, then let it come up to room temp). Serve with bitter greens and an oil, lime and soy dressing.
Doing them like a premium steak is nice too.
re: tdeane
As long as you don't melt away all that beautiful fat it's all good. The high level of mono-unsaturated fat in Kobe/Wagyu (about 70%) means it starts to melt to a butter-like consistency above 7 C. So at room temperature, the fat is already melting. A bit of Maillard reaction from searing and it becomes pure deliciousness.
I think it's all a preference, but the awareness about its fat content (which is why I personally like it) will dictate how best to maximize it. Some people like that fatty buttery texture (like me) and some people prefer a more melted-out texture (like in steak - which I also like).
In Japan, the most common way I have seen it done is as a tableside tataki on a charcoal brazier. Sliced, quickly seared then served. It is unctuous like foie gras....with just enough melted fat to balance out the more buttery fat.
If you are cooking it like a steak...use a pan and not a grill to keep the fat. It will flare up wildly on a grill.
re: fmed
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see how fatty the meat is before I turn it into carpaccio. When I was in HK in the fall, we had some kobe seared quickly and served, it was very tasty but extremely rich and I couldn't have more than one piece. On a separate occasion at my cousin's place he cooked it like a steak and it was oh so divine !! =) Speaking of fois gras, maybe we should include that with our kobe night hahahah =)
re: gourmet wife
I just wanted to say the our kobe rib eye steaks ROCKED !!!! It was so tasty and just so heavenly with every bite. Be prepare to pay if you decide to purchase the steak version. Hubs almost had a heart attack when he paid. We knew it would be expensive but holy batman was it ever. After the meal hubs said that it was well worth it and I agree =)
Well I might as well help as a former edmonton resident. Cost Canada in now selling Kobe Style beef online. I am sure they will ship it Edmonton. The price looks reasonable compared to what I have seen here in Toronto

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Wingnuts, proud member of the American Association of Professional Baseball (AA), announced the signing today of former Wichita State University Star (WSU) and former Major League infielder Kevin Hooper.
A 10th-year pro out of Lawrence, Kansas, Hooper joins the Wingnuts after spending the last three seasons in the Detroit Tigers organization. Last season, as a member of the AAA Toledo Mud Hens, Hooper hit an impressive .301, with 11 stolen bases. A solid contact hitter, Hooper had an on-base percentage of .348 and struck out just 25 times in 246 at-bats.
Prior to turning pro, Hooper played four seasons at WSU, where he was a two-time All-American and finished with a career batting average of .358. Hooper ranks in the top 10 in Shockers history for runs scored (5th, 287), hits (7th, 315), doubles (7th, 58) and triples (9th, 17). He also had the third highest single-season fielding percentage for a Shockers second baseman, at .978. in 1998.
"Kevin's achievements and popularity in being one of the most successful Wichita State Shockers is a dynamic that fits perfectly with our idea of making this team truly 'Wichita's Team'", said Wingnuts manager Kash Beauchamp. "Whether on the field stealing bases, making great play and getting clutch hits; or in the community lending his talent and experience to civic organizations within Wichita, Kevin is the type of player and person that will help make this season a successful venture."
Hooper was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 49th round of the 1998 draft (1421st overall) but remained at WSU for his senior season in 1999, when he recorded career-highs for stolen bases (24), hits (86) and batting average (.402). He was then drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 8th round of the 1999 draft (236th overall).
Hooper, who was introduced to the media at a press conference at the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, began his pro career in 1999 with Utica of the Single-A New York-Penn League, hitting .280 in 73 games. Following five more seasons in the Marlins' organization, Hooper was signed by the New York Yankees on May 26th, 2004. Later that season he was released and claimed by the Kansas City Royals, finishing the season with the AAA Omaha Royals.
Following the 2004 season, Hooper was signed by the Detroit Tigers. He spent most of the season with Toledo and in one game, played an inning at each of the nine positions. Hooper finally made his Major League debut on July 9th, 2005. He appeared in six games with the Tigers that season and recorded his first major league hit off Minnesota Twins pitcher Terry Mulholland. The following season, Hooper appeared in eight games with the Tigers, recording his first major league walk and run scored.
"Kevin is a great addition to the Wingnuts organization", added Beauchamp. "Not only are we getting a Major League talent on the field, but a player whose experience will allow him to lead and set an example for the younger players, who will undoubtedly look up to him".
Hooper is now the 22nd player signed by the Wingnuts and is penciled in as the opening day starting shortstop. Other additions to the Wingnuts roster today include pitchers Austin Redwine and Daniel Caldwell, Venezuelan pitchers Jean Granados, Richard Salazar and Gustavo Mata and catcher Felipe Del Rosario. The Wingnuts will begin their inaugural season on May 7th with a three-game home stand versus the Sioux City Explorers.

Nippers holds benefit for shooting victim's family
Updated On: Jun 28 2014 10:40:00 PM EDT
Two days after a man was shot and killed outside of Nippers Bar and Grille in Jacksonville Beach, countless people came together together to help his family.
Zachariah Tipton, 40, was killed Thursday night after several men got into a fight in the parking lot outside. He leaves behind a wife and three children.
The music was going and the restaurant was in full swing Saturday, but it felt different because the focus is on helping Tipton's family.
"What I do know is when there's a wife and children involved," said owner Rudy Theal. "If we can do something to help, we want to do that."
Heather Schieferle-Preysz was there the night of the shooting and helped organize the fundraiser. She, too, lost her husband suddenly several years ago.
"A man's life was taken. He left behind a wife and three children," said Schieferle-Preysz. "The support for that, regardless of any of the circumstances is -- what if that was me? That did happen to me."
For those at Nippers, Saturday night is also about moving forward. They're very thankful for all the support.
Theal said his top priority for Saturday night was for his customers to feel safe. He hired several off-duty officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office to keep an eye on the place during the fundraiser.
The restaurant said it is donating a percentage of their sales Saturday night to the family. There is also a donation table where people can directly donate cash. Donations can be made to any VySstar credit union using account number 7504785420.

As someone who's skilled in the art of falling (and then breaking those falls with her hands), a change from the popular dainty ring scenario feels in order. However, it wasn't until I stumbled on Erin Wasson's Instagram ("stumbled" being an exalted term for my stalking habits these days) that I could finally visualize it: thick gold rings. Paired with nothing more than plain pants and a basic white tee, Erin's ring game looks fresh in comparison to 'gram upon 'gram of dainty finger stacks (though it's probably mostly vintage). Once upon a time, Erin told ITG that we could emulate her style "for, like, 20 bucks." Let's see if she's right:
1. Warehouse Wide Mixed Stack Set Rings: If there's one essential to this look, it's an unadorned, simple, thick gold band. And thankfully ASOS makes a whole stack of them (four per pack) for $13.54. Think of it as your jumping off point—your palette onto which you'll add other, slightly smaller, yet more intricate gold rings.
2. Gorjana Dalena Ring: If the simple and thick gold band is your foundation, then Gorjana rings are the trimmings.
3. Kimberly Baker Crown Heart Ring: Otherwise known as the navy ring, a sports champion ring, a signet ring, or that ring your dad sometimes wears until you kindly ask him to please take it off. Others simply refer to it as a "man's ring," which is all the more reason women should start wearing them.
4. Rock 'N Rose Vintage Orla Cocktail Ring: As a fan of mood rings—and if you're a human, as I'll assume you are—I could not have been happier to see Erin touting two mood ring look-a-likes. The only difference is that with these rings, there's only one mood, and that mood is onyx. Again, ASOS is your friend.
5. Maiden Egg Quartz Ring: While this should fall under the cocktail ring criteria, it's important to not let the name "cocktail ring" confuse, lest you lose sight of the gold motif. The subdued, milky stone adds just the right amount of almost-bling.

My wife and I are going to see Bob Seger in St. Louis in mid December. I hope and pray that JF makes a surprise visit and sings WSTR with Seger. If not JF, maybe St. Louis native Chuck Berry will pop up on stage during Seger's set.October 30, 2014 at 1:02 pm #3817
LOL….I've only seen JF a dozen times, which compared to some of you, is a drop in the bucket. Anyway, my top moment was seeing JF in L.A. at the House of Blues in May of 1997. I actually got to meet him after a sound check the second night of his three night stand, so that was an absolute highlight for me. During the HOB shows I had the pleasure of meeting Dan and his wife, Carol, Javier (came all the way from Chile), Rick, Darlene and many others. It was quite a bonding moment for the JF fans, and I was especially impressed with Dan's story of driving up to SF and tracking down Mr. Fogerty. Now that my wife and I are living in the hinterlands of Arkansas, we haven't been able to see JF as much as I'd like (we last saw him in St. Louis in 2008). On a side note, we are heading up to St. Louis in December to see Bob Seger, and by the way, Seger's new CD is fantastic.September 6, 2014 at 1:34 pm #3568

My dad never softened up to his dislike of rock and roll (although he did at one time admit that he kind of liked Neil Diamond). My mom on the other hand was slowly won over through CCR coming out of my room and the Beatles coming out of my brother's room. She eventually became a giant fan of Fleetwood Mac and Led Zepplin. She had a HUGE crush on Robert Plant, ("ooooh, just look at HIM!"). She went with my wife and I three times to see John Fogerty and never sat down at any one of the three shows. She passed away this past March, and when she was in hospice, she asked for her Bose music player. My sister and I would alternate evenings staying with her, and she was also a big lover of big band music, Frank Sinatra, Al Martino and Gordon Lightfoot. One night when I was staying with her, she was in (at least I thought she was) a deep sleep and I was getting a little burned out on the big band music. So I slipped in "Centerfield" and it started playing. After a few minutes she opened her eyes, and I figured the music was bothering her, so I got up to put her CD back on, and she said, "That's nice…who's that?"

Growing up as a kid, the only thing my dad hated more than rock and roll was country music. So I'm in my room playing my new CCR album and "Cotton Fields" comes on. He storms into (even though this happened some 45 years ago, it is clear as day because it was so funny) my room and shouts, "What the hell are you listening to?" He ordered me to turn it off and proceeded to explain that when he was on a destroyer in the navy during WWII, a group of sailors would sing the song almost daily. He hated it with a passion. He left my room, and I stood there thinking, "What the *%($# was that all about?" But I got my revenge. When I got my first apartment, I made sure that CCR was playing whenever he and my mom came over to visit.

I'm in the very small minority as one who believes that JF did the right thing in not letting this album see the light of day. It's simply not up to JF's standards. With the exception of "Between the Lines", "Telephone" and "On the Run", the rest of the songs–especially "Marching to Blarney"–wouldn't even qualify as filler in JF's other albums. Now, I'd love to see JF redo some of the Blue Ridge Rangers stuff like "Back in the Hills" and "You Don't Owe Me."August 26, 2014 at 1:26 pm #3530
As I've listened to the radio and read various music publications, both Bob Seger and Robert Plant have suggested that their newest albums might be their last. All of the groups I grew up with–CCR, the Kinks, Who, Allman Bros, etc.–are getting into their 70s. But then you look at Sir Paul McCartney and he puts on a 3 hour plus show at the age of 72. Knowing how much minutiae and detail JF puts into his recordings, I suspect that we are 18-24 months away from any new CD; not to mention that the music industry is changing so quickly that putting out CDs is not the money maker it once was. It will be interesting fo' sure!

This is one song I would really like to see JF do live, and rerecord with a new group of crack musicians. If I remember correctly, JF mentioned that his next CD might focus more on 'jam band' type of music. If so, 'Feelin' Blue' would fit right into the wheelhouse of that particular genre of music.August 26, 2014 at 1:18 pm #3528
Well, what's done is done. Look to the future….don't hang on to the past and leave scratch marks.August 22, 2014 at 3:42 am #3517
My wife and I paid about $550 face value for a pair of tickets to see the Rolling Stones in Anaheim, CA. Well worth the price for killer floor seats. An old girlfriend was a good friend of Joe Ely's and I met him backstage on a number of occasions and we once talked about life on the road. Brutal, and not something that I would find the least bit fun. Mr. Ely talked about booking hotels months in advance, only to find the rooms not available and then having to sleep in the car or van and getting up the next morning to drive hours and hours to the next gig.

How about heading out to Memphis, Tennessee? The Mud Island Ampitheater is right along the shore of the Mississippi River, with Beale Street a short distance away. Come on, home of Elvis, Sun Records, Sam Phillips and ROCK AND ROLL!!!May 12, 2014 at 3:46 am #2978
There is a link to JF and Jazzfest on the homepage.April 30, 2014 at 3:56 pm #2948
LOL! I've had numerous CCR/JF dreams….walking into a store and finding a brand new CCR CD and going nuts, etc. I wake up and tell my wife, and she says to me, "Please don't tell anyone, they'll think you're weird." Too late, people figured that out long ago.April 27, 2014 at 6:53 am #2934
LOL…JF's work ethic is well known, so if he puts as much effort towards perfection with his book as he does with his music, patience is going to be needed.March 30, 2014 at 1:34 pm #2734
Yep, "Feelin' Blue" is one of the true undiscovered gems from the CCR catalog. It would sound great live, and if JF is truly heading in the direction of making an album of jam music, if he ever completes the album, and tours in support of it, "Feelin' Blue", would be a fine additon to the live set.

GLEN ROSE — Southlake Carroll continued its pursuit toward the Dragons' first volleyball state championship in school history with another straight-set victory.The Dragons defeated Hebron 25-14, 25-12, 25-19 in the Class 5A Region I semifinals Friday night at Glen Rose's Tiger Arena.Carroll coach Arthur Standfield realized it wasn't his team's best game, but he was happy to get the win. "I thought we executed our game plan," said Standfield. "We didn't play flawlessly, but we did play pretty dadgum good. We did what we had to do to win."Early in the first set Carroll (47-1) was up 9-7 over Hebron (38-12) before the Dragons put the game out of reach with a 10-0 scoring run behind McKenzie Brewer's three kills during the stretch.The Dragons continued their dominance in the second set, as they never trailed and finished on an 8-0 run after the Lady Hawks cut the lead to 14-11.Senior Christen Sikora led the Dragons with eight kills in the game. Madison Drescher and Megan Porter were right behind with seven apiece. Porter also had three blocks to bolster the Dragons' defense.Defensively, Cat McCoy had 23 digs for the Dragons.Hebron made error after error, and with an elite team like Carroll, Hebron head coach Karin Keeny knows you can't give the Dragons that kind of advantage."They out played us tremendously," said Keeny. "We came out very cautious and played timid. We just didn't give our self a chance, which was frustrating."The third set seemed like Carroll had a different player come up big each play. The Dragons' depth has a lot to do with that."We have a lot of good volleyball players," Stanfield said. "This team is blessed with a lot of talent."In fact, the last time Carroll lost a set was Aug. 30 against Rowlett."It's going to take a special team to beat us," said Stanfield.Southlake Carroll will take on Colleyville Heritage Saturday morning in the Regional finals for a trip to the 5A state tournament, a place where no Dragons volleyball team has gone.

May 16, 2013
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - A 33-year-old Virginia Beach man faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to distributing synthetic marijuana.
The government says Robert Charles Beatty was distributing drugs labeled "Scooby Snacks," ''Fairly Legal" and other names from his residence in the resort city. Investigators said they seized more than 60 kilograms of synthetic marijuana last summer from Beatty's residence.
Synthetic marijuana blends, commonly sold as "Spice" and "K2," are labeled as incense or potpourri. The chemicals are sprayed onto herbs and spices and sold for at least $10 per gram.
Prosecutors said Beatty entered his guilty plea Wednesday in Norfolk. His sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 6.

NSSRA Annual Membership Meeting Will Be Held January 29, 2015 at SIA Snow Show
The annual meeting of the National Ski & Snowboard Retailers Association will be held at 5:30 PM Thursday, January 29, 2015, during the SIA Snow Show at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Room 102. All specialty snowsports retailers are invited to attend, whether or not you are an NSSRA member. Last year, more than 100 retailers and industry members attended.
Also, we invite you to stop by NSSRA's booth at the show. The exact location will be announced once it is confirmed.
2014-15 Combined Indemnified Bindings List Has been Sent to NSSRA Members
The Combined Indemnified Bindings List is available to all NSSRA members as part of their membership. If you are not an NSSRA member, we invite you to join so that you have full access to all of the exclusive member services and benefits, including the bindings list. Please direct any questions to NSSRA President Larry Weindruch, firstname.lastname@example.com.
NSSRA Creates New Membership for Small Shops
At the 2014 its meeting in
Denver, the NSSRA Board of Directors approved changes in the dues structure to
$299 for managements with 1-4 shops and $499 for managements with five or more
NSSRA's membership recruitment efforts focus on a universe of approximately 2,000 managements. An examination of our membership and those who are not NSSRA members reveals that approximately 85% of large snowsports shops in the country are members of NSSRA. It also shows that a great majority of non-member ski and board shops are small, family-owned businesses, many with snowsports sales of $250,000 or less.
The Board believes that our lowest membership fee of $299 is too expensive for very small shops. It understands how important it is for these shops who wish have access to full NSSRA membership services and benefits not be shut out by the cost of joining the Association.
Therefore, the NSSRA Board of Directors approved a new membership fee of $99 for single-store retailers who sell snowsports equipment with no more than $250,000 in sales per year.
The Association has a great deal of important work to do, not the least of which is working with other industry stakeholders to increase snowsports participation. To that point, NSAA has recently published projections that show – without a concerted industry-wide effort – skier/snowboarder visits could decline by as many as 17 million visits in the next decade.
This would be disastrous for our industry, which is why we need your support and the support of all specialty snowsports shops now more than ever. NSSRA is creating a Grow the Sport effort that will provide you with the tools you need to create interest in skiing and riding in your own communities and show you how to work in partnership with areas to create new participants.
The first installment in that effort will be sent to all NSSRA members in early July, so please keep an eye on your email in box.
A downloadable membership application is available by clicking the Join NSSRA tab on the left.
The new dues level is effective immediately and will give members access to all NSSRA programs and services, which carry a value in excess of $1,000. Member benefits include:
· Advocacy on issues affecting specialty snowsports retailers
· Annual Combined Indemnified Bindings List
· Exclusive NSSRA research reports
Ø Annual Snowsports Participation Report
Ø Biennial Cost of Doing Business Benchmarking Report
Ø Retailer Compensation and Benefits Report (new for 2014)
· FedEx express shipping and UPS Freight program (PartnerShip)
· Card payment processing service (Bankcard Systems)
· Discounted promotional financing program via store branded credit card (GE Capital)
· Electronic marketing services (Constant Contact)
· Website design and hosting (Skywax)
· Business insurance program (Emery & Webb)
· Access to the National Sporting Goods Association Information Center (via master membership in NSGA)
· NSGA Integrated Benefits Plan (Willis Insurance, Allstate Benefits, Humana)
· Representation at the ASTM F27 snowsports committee meetings
· Annual membership meeting (held during SIA Show)
NSSRA Presents Inventory Management Webinars
As part
of the exclusive master membership agreement between NSSRA and the National
Sporting Goods Association (NSGA), all NSSRA members are eligible to view two
special webinars on inventory management created by NSGA for retailers. These
webinars were presented by retailing expert and author Tom Shay. Use your new member login to view them on the

Dr. Larry Appel Quoted in New York Times on Salt Intake
GIM's Professor Lawrence Appel, MD, MPH, was quoted in an article that appeared in the Science section of the New York Times on Sunday, August 26th. The article by Douglas Quenqua titled "As Restaurants Cut Salt, Some See Reasons to Pass" was occasioned by a decision by the Boston Market chain to remove salt shakers from the tables at its restaurants and replace them with signs announcing the company's efforts to cut sodium intake.
Dr. Appel, whose research on salt consumption led to his serving as chairman of the salt committee for the 2010 United States Department of Agriculture dietary guidelines, has been quoted on the subject by the New York Times in the past. He was consulted for this article to explain the difficulties in measuring sodium in precise ways and the obstacles to conducting large-scale controlled trials of the effects of salt intake on specific measures of health.

How am I going to do the head without it being too heavy and falling off, as I assume I will need to use dowels at an angle!! And is there any tutorials on how to carve a cat/lion/any animal in the lying position around?!
Thanks in advance x
The great thing is that Simba is lying down. Treat his head like its own cake with a need for dowels and a plate to hold it up. I drew this last year, but if you realize that the head needs a plate. It must be treated like a separate tier that sits above (and get supported by the bottom of the body tier.
I would definitely suggest a first pass at this cake - then by the time you make the actual cake, you'll be calmer and will have learned a ton from making the sample. I tried making a monster cake and it looked no where near the target monster. I was never so thankful that it was for a relative. I learned SOOOO much and now have a great idea for lightweight bat wings :-)

Being a knockoff band isn't such a bad thing if you meet two requirements: (1) You can play your instruments, and (2) you're imitating good stuff. The boys of Jupiter's Boxelder measure up on both counts, which makes their Deep Water Influence EP a fun if unoriginal ride. Fortunately, their reference points lie in the heyday of soulful hard rock: Think back to Mother's Milk-era Chili Peppers and Give a Monkey a Brain...-style Fishbone, add a Sublime skank, and you've pretty much nailed the Boxelder sound. Funky and punky, with screaming guitars and a deep, intuitive rhythm section, this album includes as much solid groove as street-level wisdom. Bryce Allyn's voice is stunning in its versatility, a Bradley Lowel/Anthony Keidis amalgam that barks, bellows, or soars, depending on the needs of the song. Opener "Finding a Way" is ridiculously catchy, a slamming ska rundown that, like this four-song EP, is all too brief. Slightly Stoopid's recent capacity shows at the Culture Room proved there's a willing audience for Sublime castaways; Boxelder's continued presence on the local scene should keep that crowd satisfied on a regular basis.

Sales of t-shirts, quilts will aid Team MR8 Fund
Dorchester apparel company College Hype will once again help raise funds to benefit the new fund established in memory of Martin Richard, the 8 year-old Dorchester boy killed in last year's Boston Marathon bombings. The Adams Corner-based company is raffling off a pair of commemorative quilts made from "Dorchester Strong" and "Boston Strong" shirts.
Martin's parents, Bill and Denise Richard, have launched a foundation that honors Martin's message of peace by investing in education, athletics and community. An inaugural team of 100 runners named Team MR8 will raise awareness and funds as ambassadors running in this year's Boston Marathon on April 21st.
College Hype will build on last year's fundraising efforts by donating proceeds from the sale of their "Dorchester Strong" and "Boston Strong" T-shirt lines, which they did last year, and to raffle off
two quilts bearing the words "Boston Strong" and "Dorchester Strong." The quilts were donated by Jack Cunningham of Ross Common Quilts. They are on display at College Hype at 540 Gallivan Boulevard,
Raffle tickets are available at $10 each or 3 for $25. The first quilt was created with "Dorchester Strong" T-shirts, and the second quilt is made from "Boston Strong" shirts. All sales benefit the MR8 Fund. College Hype has set a goal to reach a total contribution of $25,000 between last year's and this year's efforts.
The drawing for the quilts will be Dorchester Day— Sunday June 1. Raffle tickets can be purchased here. Tickets can also be purchased at College Hype.
"The t-shirts represented the spirit and sense of community that we feel here in Dorchester," said Jack Doherty, president of College Hype. "The Richard family serves as an inspiration to all of us and Martin's message of Peace has touched people all across the globe. As members of the community we are honored to be able to contribute to this wonderful cause in some small way, and these two quilts capture the spirit of our community."

November 27, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Even Democratic officials concede Republican John McCain will beat Democrat Barack Obama in the presidential race in Oklahoma.
But the question is whether Obama will do better than John Kerry's dismal showing four years ago when he got just 35 percent of the vote in the state.
State Democratic Party Chairman Ivan Holmes says the vote may surprise people.
Holmes says many people don't realize the number of voters age 35 and younger who plan to vote for the first time.
In other areas of the country Democrats have been registering in record numbers but that hasn't happened so far in Oklahoma.
During the first six months of the year about 7,000 voters registered as Republicans compared to about 3,000 Democrats.
The last Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state was Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
The closest a Democrat has come since then was 1976 when Jimmy Carter lost the state by 13,000 votes to Gerald Ford.
