I wanted to get hear what Chris Paine, the director of "Who Killed The Electric Car?" thought of the Volt and GM's plugged-in news this week. This is what he told me:
Sebastian - We came to Detroit for the unveiling and the Volt looks great. It's a beautiful design and the result of what looks like earnest and incredible hustle at GM over the last 12 months. I was impressed. The proof, of course, will be when the car is sitting in your or my driveway, but in the meantime you can be sure that all of our pressure as consumers and citizens has made a difference.
GM has listened and made some good decisions to return to the EV table in earnest. I do not agree with their press faulting the EV1 nor do I believe that everything must wait for the perfect lithium battery; but by the same token I don't feel that this is just a PR play at GM. We talked to senior executives and many employees who looked us in the eye and spoke from their hearts. One executive said "the public won't forgive GM twice" which is a revealing and accurate comment.
From what I can see, GM is doing the right thing and I'm supporting them as long as they keep making good decisions and moving plug-in cars into production reality. It's a week we can all be proud of.

"Only five thousand people ever bought a Velvet Underground album," Brian Eno once said, "but every single one of them started a band." Of course, well in excess of that oddly low number of copies of the VU's roiling, era-defining records have been sold in the more than 45 years since Lou Reed first swaggered up to a microphone in New York City in the mid-1960s. But the gist of Eno's observation rings true: it cannot be denied that the Velvet Underground--sardonic and loud, intense and cool, and legendarily influential--occupies a nonpareil status in the history of rock, art and art-rock. Ignacio Julia, the creator of The Velvet Underground: Legend, Truth first saw Lou Reed play in 1975 in Barcelona. The concert had a life-changing effect on him, but rather than start a band, Juli proceeded to follow the band's career, interviewing the members over the years, and publishing the first edition of this volume in 1986. This reissue of Juli 's long-unavailable book has grown into this revised and expanded edition, packed with rare pictures and memorabilia, and including exclusive interviews with Lou Reed, John Cale, Moe Tucker, Doug Yule, Nico and the longest interview ever granted by Sterling Morrison.

How politicians could end droughts FOREVER: But they don't want to
Re: Irrational rationing
I wish I'd said that. I hate them too.
Sonos - wireless streaming recommendations?
Sonos - wireless streaming recommendations?
Is it just me that fell for Sonos? It all looked like a such a nice, easy and reliable gig. It's not so bad, given how rarely used it is. But I'm an audiophile by nature and just feel that I've gone down the wrong track with this one.
A proprietary network, no integration with iTunes, slow controller apps - I know audiophile and itunes don't naturally go together either but I use n iPhone so I'm locked into that nonsense too - it all feels so wrong.
Am I missing the point of Sonos? I'd like not to smirk at it, thinking 'your time is up sucker,' when I see it gleaming the corner of the room.
If I have, as I suspect, backed a wong'un, what would you suggest for wireless streaming - I mean from the NAS to the eardrum?
The desktop lifecycle: How long is it anyway?
The desktop lifecycle is no more
Forgive me for getting all 'strategic' in my thinking. But I think the desktop lifecycle is obselete.
We're running quite a few pilots at the moment, delivering all kinds of apps and services through all kinds of models - thin client, SaaS, virtualisation. The device is near enough irrelevant. It just needs some power really, the chip/ OS/ storage is a done deal if we choose it to be so.
What's in your datacentre?
me too
...very helpful. It's something far too many take for granted as they charge around our DC ordering all kinds of kit that, rightly or wrongly, ends up in my DC. I'll be steering my division at it.
How's your desktop support service desk looking?
Creep with me
Spiceworks is a bit too low-end for me. We've got thousands of desktops to support and we can't have things that like creeping around our network. I'm not allowed to say what we use, but it's pretty good - ties the entire infrastructure reporting to end users and service desk. We can get stats by almost every measure possible.
The problem though is, as you say, users, lack of tools and, more often than not, simple shortfalls in the OS - badly structured management process typically that hinder our ability to deal with issues effectively. We can develop workarounds and more often than not we have. But as desktops creep, problems creep and capabilities creep in the other direction. I'm reasonably hopefuly that Windows 7 will give the whole thing a kick in the rear and advance us a little further. But that's still always a short-term solution. That's the nature of the beast. Hardware or software comes in resolves old problems, creates new ones so unless you multiple management and resolution tools coming in from all kinds of different angles.
Still, it never gets any easier........
Counting the cost of virtualization
I'm very much of the opinion that the basics of running a virtual machine should absolutely be free. The notion of paying for hypervisor is simply ludicrous. There's nothing to it. Management is another matter, as some of the pioneers of this latest wave of virtualization seem to have recognised some years ago, if you can integrate the management of these virtual platforms and environments into a broader suite of solutions it's real value add - hence it becomes a chargable effort, and something that I'm prepared to pay for.
What have we learned about managing outsourcing?

Reg readers: Distributed software development is hard
Good to see your a big developer Solomon. Not only do you fail to understand the premie of the points being made, but you also completely fail to understand your own point.
When it says, 'Social Networking' tools it's not talking about facebook you. It's talking about collaborative work environments and, as I'm sure you would be aware if you'd ever developed any software with a team, collaboration environments are critical.
You're comments are particularly poor since the entire article is about distrbuted development which explicitly requires some form of centralised collaboration environment - how else do you document, detail, discuss and resolve the challenges, over the phone?
That aside, I actually through this was a really interesting article that I for one will certainly be using to justify plans that are in my budgets for next year.

DoubleClick caught supplying malware-tainted ads
AdBlock is for idiots
The blissful ignorance of Web 2.0 jockeys. Yeh, yeh, you all know how the Internet and its business models work don't you? You've been surfing for years right, and you've even written some PHP script? Experts. I knew it.
Who pays for the websites you enjoy? What enables you to enjoy the websites you love for free? Subscription is the answer right - as WSJ, FT, NYT have discovered right?
Bite the bullet. Lose the adverts and you lose the web.
Microsoft versus BlackBerry versus, er, BlackBerry?
Choice is the absolute key
The choices are available are fairly rudimentary. Don't do proprietary - else you're locked in for years and face a nightmare task of migrating at some point - unless you're a fully fledged MS shop. Note I'm not even including the toy that is blackberry.
Once you've made that choice it's a questions of what you actually need - if this is just for email then it's very easy. Web interface and browser - all data stays on the server so no there's no security issues no matter what happens with the device.
We went IMAP a couple of years ago for around 80 users and have had no problems - apart from the odd drunken email written out of hours. But that would have happened with a laptop anyway.
The key is keeping it in line with organisational usage generally - once your users are educated in a standard you've got to keep it there.
Winning the (propaganda) war on cancer
Very good, very depressing - what about the charities?
Headline says it all really.
The one thing i'm ot entirely grasping however is how the charity fits into the equation? Are they just funded by the pharma industries? Or are they, as i've long suspected, simply pointless entities with no clear goals, no tangible knowledge providing jobs for people with double-barrelled names?
Obviously it's not directly related to cancer, but we really should ban these damned charities -- smeering the world in their particular brand of middle-class vanilla smiles and, it would appear, misinformation.
Enthusiastic power users still a danger?
Business benefits from BI
Business Intelligence is a beautiful thing but so few businesses - my own included - understand how to make it so. There's 3 problems as i see it:
1. Soooooo much data
2. So many people thinking they need that data
3. Getting that data into something useful
To give detail on that, the amount of data a business generates is something of a self-perpetuating ritual. Everyone thinks they need to know everything about everything. But clearly they don't.
I'm currently working on a major BI case across four business units - all baying for data. The rule of thumb I apply, and indeed my mantra is:
' How will you action that peice of data into something that delivers a business benefit.'
That throws a lot of people. But if you start off with the major list and then work it through into:
Data X will enable us to deliver a 0.1% improvement on ROI via department Z and - person A will be responsible for that delivery.
That sorts the wheat from the chaff. It keeps everyone focussed and makes them realise that, half the time, they just want data to feel important.
Knowledge is power - but only if you know what and how you'll use it.
Mobile email: Let's have a heated debate
Secure? Hardly.
Email security on mobile devices is a difficult one. We now have a mobile workforce that's topping 100 and, whilst we can keep the transmission and delivery pretty secure, it's lost devices that are a problem. Mobile operators have for years promised to do something to lock these things down but nothing's happening. Why? Because it's damned near impossible unless you can come up with a way of the device knowing when it has been stolen or lost. Having the ability to fry the system, and obliterate all data, by text message would be a great bonus. But that rather assumes the device is switched on, and that someone doesn't just rip the sim and all the data without switching it on.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Nine people aboard a US Airways flight bound for Jamaica have been taken to a North Carolina hospital after complaints about strong odors kept the jet grounded.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said
Tuesday that passengers began complaining of a foul odor aboard Flight 985 soon after it pushed away from its gate at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport bound for Montego Bay.
Bergen says airport firefighters checked the plane for fumes.
Mecklenburg County ambulance spokesman Jeff Keith says nine people were taken to Carolinas Medical Center, but their conditions did not appear to be life-threatening.
Spokeswomen for US Airways and the airport did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Mixed results among the mixed-use economyNew Hampshire New Hampshire, one of the New England states of the NE United States. It is bordered by Massachusetts (S), Vermont, with the Connecticut R. forming the boundary (W), the Canadian province of Quebec (NW), and Maine and a short strip of the Atlantic Ocean (E). side of the Upper Valley in Hanover at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and Dartmouth College Dartmouth College, at Hanover, N.H.; coeducational; chartered 1769, opened 1770, the ninth colonial college (see Wheelock, Eleazar). Originally a men's college, Dartmouth began admitting women in 1972. , along with a renewal of economic activities in Springfield, and a relatively healthy manufacturing sector in Randolph, Orange and Windsor counties appear to be in a relatively healthy position to weather the recessionary winds now blowing across the state and the nation.
Local business leaders say these two counties can maintain their relatively low unemployment levels as long as the bottom doesn't completely fall out of the economy. For some, the hope is that a good snow season will keep local ski areas busy which is important in many of the ski dependent towns of Windsor County.

However, support business is affected and they face challenging time ahead," explains Peter Gregory Dr Peter Gregory was the team doctor (chief medical officer) for the England cricket team from November 2002 to 15 November, 2006.

The overriding drivers of the economy in Windsor Co. are tourism, its proximity to the Lebanon/Hanover area and a declining population, notes Andy Condon with the Department of Employment and training.
Orange Co., with Randolph as the employment base, is more manufacturing dependent. The manufacturing sector here is generally 'sound" but the future of manufacturing in general is uncertain, and a constraining factor on the future of the economy here.
The White River Jct./Hartford and Woodstock reporting districts have long been the lowest unemployment areas in the state and this is because "a significant number of these workers work in New Hampshire," says Condon.

Wages grew in accommodations and food by 6.8 percent over the 2007 level. In professional technical services wages were up 5.8 percent but construction wages were down 5.5 percent.
Condon notes that the population in Windsor County, currently ranked fourth in the state is declining. In July 2006-07 it lost 191 people for a .3 of a percent decline to 56,875. The county is now 11th in growth. Orange County at 29,002 people also declined by .3 of a percent.
"In the long run, it says that when we get out of the business cycle we are in a growth path that may become difficult to grow businesses as it may be hard to find workers," explains Condon. The hope is that "when labor markets labor market A place where labor is exchanged for wages; an LM is defined by geography, education and technical expertise, occupation, licensure or certification requirements, and job experience do get tight in the future, wages should start to climb and we may attract people to the state."

Randolph and Orange County
Randolph is the economic heart of Orange County and the town appears to be holding its own in the late fall. Julie Iffland with Randolph Area Community Development Corp. sees local banks making loans and more industrial jobs added to the employment rolls.
Recently Monessen Hearth Systems in Paris, KY, purchased Vermont Castings, the stove maker in Bethel Bethel, in the Bible

cat by Iffland as "a healthy and growing fireplace heating system company." That company primarily builds gas stoves and Vermont Castings adds a wood stove component to the product line.
After a brief closure Vermont Castings reopened and hired back 160 employees and will expand by building Dutchwest steel stoves. This is a new product for the Bethel stove manufacturer, as steel stoves are a lower end product. The company is expected to create 47 new jobs, and perhaps another 15 in first quarter.
Neil Fox Neil Andrew Howe Fox (born 12 June 1961) is a British radio and television presenter, known for many years as Dr Fox before he became "Foxy" in the 2000s. Early career at Green Mountain Economic Development Corp in White River Junction, said his office was instrumental in getting a grant of $750, 000 from Vermont Economic Growth Incentives Funds (VEGI) for the expansion.
GMEDC also helped with a $250,000 grant to Vermont Precision Products in to expand their plant and hire a dozen workers in Randolph, That company makes shoe eyelets for military boots as well as brass clasp CLASP - Computer Language for AeronauticS and Programming on manila envelops, and post office keys.
Another company benefiting from tax credits is New England New England, name applied to the region comprising six states of the NE United States—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The region is thought to have been so named by Capt. Precision in Randolph, which does metal stamping. They will add six new workers for five years and 30 workers will eventually join the 50-person workforce.
Another prospering manufacturer here is Vertek (a division of Applied Research Inc headquartered in New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States. At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S). ) located in the Randolph Industrial Park. That company announced a new $4 million US Government contract through the auspices of Senator Patrick Leahy to make the next generation of remote robots that sniff out land mines.
LED Lighting, a company making lighting and displays in Randolph, is also strong and employs 50.
The one manufacturing negative here was the closing of the Clearsource water bottling plant Noun 1. bottling plant - a plant where beverages are put into bottles with caps
industrial plant, plant, works - buildings for carrying on industrial labor; "they built a large plant to manufacture automobiles" , which failed when its parent company Wissahickon Water Company went bankrupt. Sixty-five jobs were lost.
Iffland reports that nearby Vermont Technical College The Vermont Technical College (VTC) is a public technological institute located in the village of Randolph Center, Vermont (in the town of Randolph, Vermont). The college is a part of the Vermont State Colleges, a consortium of Vermont's five public colleges, governed by a common is doing well and expanding its sustainable technology program, while also becoming more of a destination for conferences looking for Looking for

She praised college president Ty Handy for reaching out to the local community and being a partner. "VTC VTC - video teleconferencing realizes that the community can benefit it and its students. It's a town/gown benefit."
The school, long an isolated entity on a hill a mile from town, is now "trying to find ways for students to be involved in town." There is a weekly shuttle bus bringing students downtown and they are shopping locally.
"Merchants are encouraging and incentivizing students to be downtown, and sponsoring a college women's and men's cross country team raising money to get them to national events."
Randolph's retail sector is active, reports Iffland with merchants holding events and promotions. Also important is the Chandler Arts Center more than half way towards its capital campaign goal. The famed concert hall will start work next year on upgrades to the hall.

3. Iffland is "going great guns," expanding and renovating a building on Route 66.
A recent fire November 2 at VTC incubator building on Route 66 displaced some businesses. It housed the staff of the Small Business Development Center and several small companies. "The incubator has been a good idea but there were not a lot of results," acknowledged Dick Drysdale at the local newspaper The Herald. "It's a blow, was well insured and is expected to be rebuilt."
Assessing the current economic conditions, Drysdale was cautious. "I see the economy as certainly in a slow down, as of yet not really severe but people are obviously worried. The manufacturing news from Bethel and Randolph is obviously helpful."
"We're somewhat isolated and conservative in spending money," notes Bobette Schneider with the Bradford Community Development Corp. Businesses in this Orange County town "are seeing a slowdown but are not unsuccessful."
Eight acres of commercially zoned land are for sale next to the Park and Ride for by the Interstate. Also the local P&C Supermarket is improving its property and while still a food market there are plans for other uses for the property.
The planning commission Noun 1. planning commission - a commission delegated to propose plans for future activities and developments
commission, committee - a special group delegated to consider some matter; "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" - Milton Berle recently approved an outdoor furnace next to the Copeland's Furniture Store and The Mill, which houses several small businesses. This furnace will reduce heating costs. .
A local committee is working on a potential renovation of the Old Church Community Theater, which would continue as a theater. A crafters group has formed to give studio tours and distribute brochures for the many local crafters.
Middle Earth, a local entertainment venue, closed in the spring ending a decade of live club performances that now brings less weekend traffic to the town.
However, "overall, Bradford is staying the course," says Schneider. 'We have not heard about massive layoffs. Bradford appears to be in fairly good shape we haven't seen all the downturns that we see in other areas to date."
Windsor County
Hartland and White River Junction
Perhaps a typical sign of the times here was the recent closing of a Saturn car dealership in White River Jct., says Ottmann. While that closing indicates the problems car dealers face, Ottmann sees the local economy here as otherwise "doing fine."
Fox is generally upbeat as well. The new aquatic center a $40 million venture in the Town of Hartford on Route 5 opens in January. For competitive swimmers this will be the most advanced pool between New York City New York City: see New York, city.
New York City
City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. and Montreal and is expected to host large swim meets. Fox believes the events will bring "many competitors and their entourages to the area and they will be spending on lodging and hospitality." A large family restaurant and new motel are expected to pick up the hospitality slack in an area that may not have enough rooms and meals to accommodate the expected crowds.
In White River, the Prospect Street redevelopment of nine acres, currently home to auto repair and storage businesses adjacent to the Connecticut River will become a gateway to Vermont. The nearby interstate bridge will be rebuilt on Route 4 by the State of N.H. Plans call for this area to be leveled and rebuilt to commercial and residences in three new buildings at a cost of $47 million with funding to be determined.
GMECD will do some financing and United Construction from Claremont has this project under contract for the demolition and construction the project has a 2011 completion date.
Also of importance here is the new Army Reserve/National Guard Armory for both Vermont and New Hampshire. Fox calls this a new idea of a combo and multi-state facility. It will be located on Route 5 south of Hartford Village and constructions starts next summer, It will serve 700 people. "That's a big one," exclaimed Fox.
"Its hard to gauge the overall economy here we're not a retail center," says Town of Hartford planning director Lori Hirshfield. However, observationally she sees engineering firms with less business as some are cutting back staff and fewer applications for planning are being submitted.
"We're seeing a slowing down in terms of big applications for commercial construction. It could be concern for the economy or the time to put projects together," says Hirshfield.
Local real estate is not seeing a decline in housing costs but homes are taking longer to sell and there is "no huge drops in values. The demand for housing is still there."
Recently the town received a state grant of $40,000 to develop a growth center application. This will encompass the core centers of the villages. The town will complete the application for submission by next August. The Vermont Growth Center program relaxes Act 250 provisions.
Downtown White River is stable and "nothing is closing downtown," says Hirshfield. She categorized the business climate here as "concerned and cautious." As reported by other Vermont towns, banking is not as problematic here as in other states. "We have local banks, they advertise that they have money to lend and we are cautiously moving forward."
Robert Flint Robert Flint (1838 – 1910) was a Scottish theologian and philosopher, who wrote also on sociology.
He was born near Dumfries and educated, at the University of Glasgow. with the Springfield Regional Development Corp points to more redevelopment of a former machine tool plant as a sign that this town is revitalizing.

Returned to the town in the 1970s, it was rehabbed and became a multi-tenant incubator for many years. In the past decade the site struggled financially with a handful of tenants and this year an agreement was reached to sell the property to Washington, DC, developers One Hundred River Street LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.
LLC - Logical Link Control .
Flint says this entity will do a $6 million development for mixed use, which will include light industrial, offices, and a restaurant. A major tenant will be the Springfield Hospital, which will include Springfield Medical Group, a walk in clinic and primary care physicians. Plans are currently under way for a 30,000-square-foot renovation and an October 2009 completion date to the former Fellows Building.
According to Flint the current economy "clouds everything and brings a lot of nervousness and caution." There are few new jobs or vacancies yet, "companies are still frustrated frus·trate
tr.v. frus·trat·ed, frus·trat·ing, frus·trates
a. To prevent from accomplishing a purpose or fulfilling a desire; thwart: finding new people and workforce development remains a focus."
Housing and construction have "slowed dramatically." Housing prices are in decline and the market "is slow."
Another blow to the town was the July fire that destroyed the Ellis Block and the Springfield Theater. That theater had become famous after it hosted the opening of the Simpson's movie in 2006. Currently vacant it had a boarding house and retail space. There is a tentative agreement with Housing Vermont and Springfield Housing Unlimited to purchase the property, save the building, and renovate it. Planned is a conversion to housing with eight or nine efficiency apartments. The theater will also be brought back.
As to the future, Flint sees "people riding things out. Who knows what the future is and energy costs are a roller coaster What a bad CD-R disc is often called. See CD-R and underrun. ."
He categorized the mind set here as "not gloom and doom but there is anxiety."
The economic picture is mixed, according to Tom Kennedy with the Southern Windsor County Regional Planning Commission. Ski areas are an important economic generator here and the Ascutney Mountain resort Ascutney Mountain Resort is a ski area located on the western side of Mount Ascutney in Brownsville, Vermont. It opened in the winter of 1946 under the ownership of Catharine Cushman. Since 1993, it has been owned by Steven and Susan Plausteiner. History

Area, 52,586 sq mi (136,198 sq km). Pop. resort developer. The hope is to bring capital into the area. The ski area continues to work on a master plan and is expected to expand when credit loosens up.
In the Town of Windsor new businesses have opened including Paradise Bicycle Shop, and Vermont Mercantile Exchange, a country store.
The town completed reconstruction of the Windsor Welcome Center a former brownfields site and former machine tool building. Armory Square Armory Square is a small neighborhood on the west side of Downtown Syracuse, New York. It began life as a busy commercial and industrial area just to the west of the central city. Apartments, a $17.3 million renovation project, is under way with a 2009 completion date. An expansion is planned for the Harpoon Brewery Harpoon Brewery is an American microbrewery, with plants in Boston, Massachusetts and Windsor, Vermont. Founded in 1986, the brewery was the first company to obtain a permit to manufacture and sell alcohol in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in over 25 years. in the Windsor Industrial Park. However, the Morgan Meadows single-family housing project in Windsor is stuck in the permitting process.
Elsewhere in the county, Cavendish has a completed a 14-unit housing project on a former brownfield See greenfield. site in the Village of Proctorsville, also a rehabbed commercial building that is now fully occupied.
"Overall we're starting to see the effect of contraction in many sectors and unemployment increasing," says Kennedy of the local economy.
Gas prices will affect the ski area if they rise in price. Locals keep their fingers crossed that the snow falls and skiers drive to Ascutney because many businesses are associated with the ski industry. "A dramatic decline in skiers would have a negative impact on the related ancillary businesses," says Kennedy. He anticipates "another tough year ahead of us."
"Traffic is mixed with people coming to town and lower gas prices will help bring more people," says Peter Gregory with Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission. "We are cautiously optimistic op·ti·mist

Retail here is "holding its own." Construction or new housing is at a standstill.

With buses remaining full in the river route coming down I-91 from Bradford and Newbury, and more people commuting by bus, even as lower gas prices have not affected the use of these buses, there may be more money in the pockets of locals to spend.
Gayle Ottmann working at the Quechee Gorge notes strong local tourism. She saw heavy Route 4 and gorge traffic although a wet July slowed visitors. This past fall saw "three great weeks," although numbers did not exceed 2007. Quechee Gorge registered 1,000 fewer visitors but still had 8,000 registered visitors.
"We saw weekends and families, but tours were good. Our foreign traffic was up more than US traffic."
First quarter tax receipts were as expected here with no significant delinquencies. What the second quarter will bring is unsure said Town Manager Frank Heald.
He can point to a good foliage season and positive Christmas reservations at Okemo Mountain Okemo Mountain Resort is a ski resort located in Ludlow, Vermont. It is one of the few remaining family-owned ski areas. Before becoming a popular ski resort destination, Ludlow was originally a mill town, and was the home of a General Electric plant until 1977.

This is not the opinion of Sharon Bixby at Ludlow Economic Corp. who sees "the local economy slowing." She notes that "workers are feeling the pinch here" and some are "seeking a second job at Okemo more than in the past."
There is hope for the winter here as "a lot of the hospitality folks are getting strong rentals for the ski season."
Also, larger homes are selling, an encouraging sign as "some builders are trying to hold on to workers."
Marji Graff at the Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce in Ludlow anticipates the December 15 opening of Okemo Ski Area. From her standpoint, "things look good in the valley. It appeared we had a great summer."
She is "very optimistic for the winter," as the Rutland Airport, a half-hour drive from here is a destination via Jet Blue to skiers from Philadelphia and Boston.
Fall tourism here was "tremendous."
Ludlow has three new retail businesses on Main Street. a sign that optimism reigns here. "We haven't seen the economic downturn," states Graff. "Our location is a plus, we are in southern Vermont an easy drive from Connecticut and it is easy to get here.
Sandy Gregg at the Golden Stage Inn in Proctorsville confirms what many here and elsewhere in the ski industry hope will mitigate an otherwise sour economic climate for the nation. Her inn has many winter bookings and this indicates that "people will go skiing this winter."
The expectation is that in this recession "many skiers will not go west but instead will come to Vermont, as a means of saving money."

I have been a member of this forum for sometime now, and have posted several times, although not a great many, and sold a couple of items as well.
I mostly hang out at the 1911 forum as ABC3 with somewhere around 800 posts.
My question is: I just posted a F/S item and it displays that post as #1.
Is there something I need to be doing, that I am unaware of ? I'm confident members of this forum will be, as I would, alittle sceptical of buying from a first time poster.
Any suggestions ? Thanks and keep up the good work.

O'Reilly didn't want to be on Morgan's then-new CNN show but did want a photo for his "America's Got Talent" fan daughter
Bill O'Reilly may have a good million more viewers than Piers Morgan, but Morgan beats the Fox News star when it comes to politeness, according to Morgan.
In fact, arbiter of courtesy Morgan said, O'Reilly is "a dick."
The CNN host was on "The Howard Stern Show" on Wednesday when he and Stern got around to talking about O'Reilly, who was in the audience of "America's Got Talent" when Morgan was a judge, around the time when he was prepping for his then-new CNN show.
Morgan decided to ask O'Reilly to appear on "Piers Morgan Tonight."
Also read: Megyn Kelly Spanks Piers Morgan in Total Viewers — But Rachel Maddow Wins Demo
"Of course he's going to know who I am!" the modest Morgan said. "There's billboards in Times Square!"
But when Morgan introduced himself to O'Reilly, he got the brush-off: a series of "uh huhs" and an eventual "no, I don't think so" when Morgan asked him to appear on his show.
"What a dick!" Morgan said of the encounter. "I was seething."
Morgan and Stern agreed that O'Reilly was "quite rude" not to appear on a rival network's flagship show. Stern ended up being one of Morgan's very first guests. O'Reilly has yet to appear.

Later during the taping, Morgan said, O'Reilly came over with his daughter and her friend and asked for a photo with the judge for the girls, who were fans. Morgan made O'Reilly take the photo.
Stern asked if perhaps O'Reilly's initial cold shoulder was because Morgan was on another channel.
"No, I think he is a dick," Morgan said.

President-elect Obama says he is appreciative of the cooperation that President Bush has offered in smoothing his transition to the White House.
He said "we only have one president at a time." Obama also told reporters Friday that he's confident that "a new president can have an enormous impact. " But Obama also said that he understands that until next Jan. 20, the current administration is in charge.
He said he also appreciated Bush's "commitment that his economic policy team keep us informed." He also said he was "grateful" that he has invited Obama and his wife, Michelle, to the White House on Monday.
He said he expected to have a substantive conversation with Bush
at that time and that "I am not going to anticipate problems."
Obama said he wants to go into the talks with Bush with "a spirt of bipartisanship and a sense that both the president and various leaders of Congress all recognize the severity of the situation right now."

What are some of Calgary's best locally produced foodstuffs ... ie: beer, butter, chocolate, wine, booze, bacon, etc???
Let's make a list!
Any Wildrose Beer - especially their seasonal. I believe the Cherry Porter is out this week!
Not Calgary but Canmore - Valbella Gourmet Foods for charcuterie
re: crazy_eoj
What are the local Rye Whiskies?
re: Susanbnyc
They all have "Alberta" in the name. But read your label for content.
re: Scary Bill
Oh, also at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Best Vodka, a Double Gold Medal winner was Alberta Pure Vodka, beating out 239 other entries. And this for a vodka that sells for less than $20 at many stores.
Maybe not exclusively "Calgary" but close to the city:
Spragg's Pork
Crave Cupcakes
Big Rock Beer's Winter Ale
Broxburn tomatoes
Lund's carrots, parsnips, spinach, chard
I'm sure I'll think of more later.
Not strictly Calgary but available in YYC
Brassica mustards
Lund's carrots, beets etc
Hotchkiss produce
Edgar Farm's peas, asparagus and asparagus products
Jungle Farm's berries and pumpkins
Sylvan Star cheese -their grizzly gouda is my favourite
Vital Green Farms: chocolate milk
Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch's Buffalo and Elk
Winter's Turkeys
Broek Pork
Macarons and pain au chocolat from Yann's Haute Patisserie
Sidewalk Citizen bread & goodies
Pretzel buns from Rustic Sourdough bakery
Bliss cupcakes
Prairie Mill bread
re: maplesugar
Can't believe I forgot about Sidewalk Citizen's scones. I don't usually go for scones but theirs are incredible.
I have some more:
Fiasco Gelato's gelatos and sorbettos. I've had real Italian gelato and, for the most part, I still prefer theirs.
Valta Bison's bison jerky
Phil & Sebastian's lattes (with Vital Greens milk)
M for Macaron's macarons (Preferred over Yann's but that's just me)
Blu Seafood's salmon burgers
Pies Plus berry pies
Going Nuts's salad nut mixes & flax crackers (at the Calgary Farmer's Market)
Community Natural Foods tahini and nut butters
re: cellophane_star
I really do have to get to Pies Plus one of these days. I can't believe I forgot about Going Nuts--their cinnamon almonds are dangerously addictive. As for Aviv's scones--there hasn't been a single crumb of his baking that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. P&S baristas are wizards--I'm partial to Americanos (saving calories for pain au chocolat heh)
If you're ever in my neck of the woods check out Big Bend Market. They're doing fantastic things: bison smoked meat and pastrami, venison salami, and all from either Ivan's bison herd or picked up from other local producers. They also stock Sylvan Star cheeses.
re: maplesugar
My favourite thing at Going Nuts is their Lemon Pecans. A new fave is their Pumpkin Spice Pecans, which are only sweetened with dates.
One more:
Davenport's Cowboy Crunch. I can only find it around Christmas time at the Telus & BMO craft markets, which is probably a good thing because I can finish the whole jar in one sitting. It is deliciously addictive:
Off to Google "Big Bend Market" :)
re: cellophane_star
Off to google Davenport's Cowboy Crunch!
Spring Creek Ranch's prime rib roast available at Master Meats. (They're from around Edmonton)
Spolumbo's sausage
Sunrise Berry Farms pies (Lethbridge)
Found in Calgary (and throughout most parts of AB and SK): Ginger Beef and Puffed Wheat Squares.
I like the Jerky made & sold in Red Deer.
Manuel Latruwe croissants and pain au chocolat are pretty top tier.
Also Phil and Sebastian coffee beans

Guitarist Josh Sonntag and singer-songwriter Catty Tasso make for the perfect rock-and-roll marriage -- literally. When Tasso advertised for an axe man on a Guitar Center bulletin board in 1999, Sonntag offered her not only a pair of the best plucking hands in town but also his hand in matrimony. The happy ending is Moxi, a band that weds Tasso's hard-hitting rasp to Sonntag's sophisticated stylings in a refreshing brand of intelligent yet accessible rock. With drummer Frankie Martinez and bassist Raul Ramirez as attendants, the pair has been further blessed by the extracurricular participation of Estefan Enterprises young-gun producer Sebastian Krys, who takes a break from pop-polish to deliver Moxi's self-titled debut CD with powerful punch. Moxi captures the burning intensity of the band's live shows, where Tasso's voice breaks in perfect union with Sonntag's guitar mastery. Distributed across the Americas by indie enabler DLN and supported by an upcoming tour, Moxi may make this our last chance to hail Moxi as a local band. Mazel tov.

New York Auto Show confirms 2014 Chevy Impala debut via Facebook [UPDATE]
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Mar 21st, 2012 at 4:20PM
News of an impending automotive debut, especially one as big as the next Chevrolet Impala, generally come straight from the mouths of the automakers. Interesting, then, that the New York Auto Show's Facebook page is the first bit of confirmation we've seen that the 2014 Impala will be making its worldwide debut in The Big Apple. All we have to go along with that confirmation is the teaser image you see above (click on the pic to enlarge), so we can't glean too many details just yet. We can see a Hofmeister-esque kink in the C-pillar, strongly accented in chrome trim, along with the... Read More

A shot performed in the sport of hockey where you take a slap shot, but only winding up a small amount. Great for getting off a quick, hard shot from the slot.
That kid has a sick half slap. You don't even know when it's coming because his back swing is so subtle.
po SeeEss Октобар 28, 2012
The action of using only half the power of a slap to take someone out, Someone who gets halfslaped
The only actual halfslap i've seen was Eric.

When is swim season?
Swim season starts at the very beginning of Winter Term and lasts until the middle of Spring Term (about a term and a half from January – April).
When do practices start?
Practices start the first week of Winter term. There is a two week trial before dues are required.
When and where do practices occur?
This season we will be practicing 5 days a week. The dates and times are not set yet. Click here for the schedule.
This year we are very proud to announce that we will be practicing in a brand new pool! The renovation of our Student Rec Center will be completed on January 4th, 2015 and this season will be the first ever held in the pool.
I'm not the fastest swimmer. Will I be able to make the team?
Swimmers of all ability levels are welcome. There is a two-week trial.
Is practice mandatory?
While attending practice is the best way to improve, attending every practice is not mandatory.
How much does it cost to join swim club?
The past seasons membership cost $200.00 for the whole season. This covers the cost of the pool for practice and the coach.
What about competition?
The UO Swim Club swims as a part of US Master's Swimming and some other collegiate meets. All of our meets are travel meets and occur on the weekends with the exception of US Master's Nationals. Your participation in meets are not mandatory. Since swimming is an individual sport, meet entries must be paid for by the individual swimmers.
What's the best thing about swim team?
We love our swimming family. When you spend an hour and a half a day training with the same amazing people, you tend to get close with them. We love racing, getting faster, pushing ourselves and just having a good time. Since we travel, competitors get to see a little more of the West Coast that just Eugene. Nationals is definitely an unforgettable experience.
Do we do anything outside the pool?
In previous years, we have had dryland practices in the mat room. We usually have fund raisers and gatherings during the season.
