Soul And Vibe Interactive To Acquire Soul And Vibe Entertainment And Pursue $56 Billion Digital Game Industry
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Soul and Vibe Interactive Inc. (OTCQB:SOUL), "The Company," today announced it is in the process of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Soul and Vibe Entertainment, Inc., a video and computer games company. Upon completion of the transaction, Soul and Vibe Interactive's current CEO, President, and CFO, Pauline Carson, will transition to Vice President. Peter Anthony Chiodo ("Tony"), the CEO and founder of Soul and Vibe Entertainment, will take over as CEO and President of Soul and Vibe Interactive.
"Soul and Vibe Entertainment has several strategic and valuable contractual agreements which put us in a solid position to grab market share in this industry. We executed a license agreement with General Mills. Additionally, we are an approved developer and publisher of games and games-related content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, Windows 8, Windows Live, and Windows Phone from Microsoft, and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PlayStation® Vita (PS Vita) from Sony," said Soul and Vibe Entertainment's CEO and founder, Peter Anthony Chiodo ("Tony"). "The mobile market is significantly expanding the hardware platforms on which games are played, as well as the consumer base that plays them. In addition to Windows Phone, we will support the Apple iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) and Android platforms."
Mr. Chiodo will be assuming the role of CEO and President of Soul and Vibe Interactive. He is an award-winning 22-year veteran of the video and computer game industry who has released over 200 titles. From 2003 to 2011 he was Director of Product Development for Destineer Games, where he led the development of games and engine technologies, both internal and external, for consoles and personal computers. Mr. Chiodo created and implemented a development process that resulted in the release of more than 100 frontline and "casual" games over 4 years and managed a 35-person internal development studio. The studio's products secured a capital raise of over $12 Million. This was the second largest capital raise in the interactive industry for 2006. Mr. Chiodo and his team developed commercial games and "serious games" training tools and simulations for the United States Marine Corps and various branches of the United States Federal Government. Mr. Chiodo served as a Program Manager at Microsoft Corporation from 2000 through 2003, where he led internal teams from engine and game prototype to project green light and release for the original Xbox, and helped coordinate the localization of Xbox launch software for European and Japanese markets. Mr. Chiodo has also served as a consultant to software companies developing "serious games" training tools and simulations that help physicians and nurses provide care to patients suffering from chronic diseases."We are very excited to move forward with this transaction. As a publicly traded company, we will be well positioned to expand our game development and operations to capture a meaningful share of the $56 billion* video and computer game software market," Mr. Chiodo added. "As CEO and President of Soul and Vibe Interactive, I look forward to executing on this tremendous opportunity." * PricewaterhouseCoopers reports consumer spending on console, mobile, and personal computer game software topped $56 billion in 2010 and is projected to grow to $82 billion by 2015.

David Cook, victor of the seventh season of "American Idol," is in good spirits on the phone from the Albany, N.Y., tour stop of the "American Idols Live" tour. "The response has been great to everyone," says the 25-year-old from Blue Springs, Mo.
Cook is whirling through the familiar frantic schedule of his predecessors: He's playing a nationwide tour (which stops Aug. 17 in Charlotte) with his fellow finalists. And he's jetting off to various studios between gigs to record his debut album with respected producer Rob Cavallo, who's worked with Green Day and My Chemical Romance. Cook says the album is slated for release in mid-November.
Q. As a big Green Day fan, what did you think when you heard Rob Cavallo was interested?
Rob's top tier. He came to us, and I took that as a massive compliment. We talked about what we wanted to do, and everything just clicked.
Q. What kind of a record are you hoping to make?
I just told Rob that I want to put out a real record. I want it to be a rock record. I want there to be an interesting vibe to it, and the three artists that I talked about were Our Lady Peace, Big Wreck and Muse. I don't want to completely start copying other records, but I want to have interesting textures and sounds.
Q. Did you write much while you were working on the show and will you be including any of your pre-"Idol" stuff on the record?
I didn't have a whole lot of time to write on the show. The good news is when I got off the show I had five months worth of writing to get out. June was amazingly fruitful, I think in the first three weeks we wrote about 20 songs. And then with the material I had from before the show – because I had released one record and had another record finished – I think we're in the 50s.
Q. Have you encountered any "Cougars for Cook" on tour?
I have encountered a few cougars, and they've been very sweet, very respectful, and I'm glad to have them in my family. From a generic guy standpoint it's always nice when a female gives you attention. It doesn't really matter who they are or where they're at in their life, it's just cool. (Laughs).
Q. You studied theater for part of your college career. Do you have any designs on an acting career?
Basically what I told 19 and RCA is that I just want to put myself out there, and if the right anything comes along I'm certainly open to giving it a look. I may have read a script here or there, but nothing's really come out of the woodwork yet.

Student Development Office
Performing & Visual Arts Opportunities
Western students can enjoy performing and visual arts productions almost every night of the semester. The University Art Gallery presents up to 12 shows per year. University Theatre produces 6 mainstage shows in Hainline Theatre and Horrabin Hall Theatre and numerous studio shows in Simpkins Hall Theatre throughout the year. University Dance Theatre, a student organization, holds two major concerts per year, and often hosts visiting artists for special performances and workshops. Music faculty and students perform countless times during the semester in the College of Fine Arts and Communication Recital Hall, on the football field as the Marching Leathernecks, and on the basketball court as the University Pep Band.
The Bureau of Cultural Affairs (BCA) student organization offers students the opportunity to participate in the selection and presentation of national tours of performing arts events right here on campus—that's right, you can pick the shows and then meet the entertainers! The BCA brings in over 12 performances each year. The BCA hosts internationally known dance and ballet companies, Broadway stage productions, headlining comedians and musicians, and world-renowned orchestras and symphonies. If you prefer experiencing the arts without joining the organization, students may attend almost all of the BCA events free of charge through the Arts Fee.
Opportunities to view and participate in the performing and visual arts are available to all Western students. Audition information is available through the School of Music, Browne Hall 122, (309) 298-1544 or the Department of Theatre & Dance, Browne Hall 101, (309) 298-1543.

Most drug stash houses are rental homes.
Stash house caretakers prefer homes with attached garage.
Yard is unkempt, although sometimes they will send someone to clean it up so as to not draw attention.
There is usually little, if any, furniture in the home.
Stash house occupants tend to keep to themselves and they will not normally be visible on a daily basis.
If the occupants are actually living at the stash house, they will not appear to hold a regular job, or have a "normal" pattern of lifestyle.
Different types of vehicles, especially vans and pickup trucks will enter and exit the garage at different hours of the day or night. (Quite often they prefer to work in the nighttime or early morning hours)
The vehicles arriving at the stash house will have different license plates on them, including, Texas, New Mexico, Mexico and paper "buyer" or "dealer" tags. They may also use these license plates interchangeably with all of the vehicles.
You may not see anyone at the stash house for several days or weeks and then there will be a lot of activity (as described above) at the house.
There may be an accumulation of advertisement material on the front door and/or trash in the home or yard.
NOTE: The presence of some or all of the indicators does not mean that the person is violating any law. The lack of "normalcy" is the best indicator that something is not right. Please call if you have any suspicions.

To create an
InnoDB table, specify an
ENGINE=InnoDB option in the
CREATE TABLE statement:
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
Depending on the
innodb_file_per_table setting,
InnoDB creates each table and associated
primary key index either in the
system tablespace,
or in a separate tablespace (represented by a
.ibd file). MySQL creates the
t1.frm file in the
directory under the MySQL database directory. Internally,
InnoDB adds an entry for the table to its own
data dictionary. The entry includes the database name. For
example, if
test is the database in which the
t1 table is created, the entry is for
'test/t1'. This means you can create a table of
the same name
t1 in some other database, and
the table names do not collide inside
To see the properties of these tables, issue a
SHOW TABLE STATUS statement:
SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM test LIKE 't%' \G;
In the status output, you see the
row format property of
these first tables is
Compact. Although that
setting is fine for basic experimentation, to take advantage of
the most powerful
InnoDB performance features,
you will quickly graduate to using other row formats such as
Using those values requires a little bit of setup first:
set global innodb_file_per_table=1; set global innodb_file_format=barracuda; CREATE TABLE t3 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)) row_format=dynamic; CREATE TABLE t4 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)) row_format=compressed;
Always set up a primary
key for each
InnoDB table, specifying
the column or columns that:
Are referenced by the most important queries.
Are never left blank.
Never have duplicate values.
Rarely if ever change value once inserted.
For example, in a table containing information about people, you
would not create a primary key on
lastname) because more than one person can have the same
name, some people have blank last names, and sometimes people
change their names. With so many constraints, often there is not
an obvious set of columns to use as a primary key, so you create a
new column with a numeric ID to serve as all or part of the
primary key. You can declare an
auto-increment column
so that ascending values are filled in automatically as rows are
-- The value of ID can act like a pointer between related items in different tables. CREATE TABLE t5 (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (id)); -- The primary key can consist of more than one column. Any autoinc column must come first. CREATE TABLE t6 (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT, a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (id,a));
Although the table works correctly without
you defining a primary key, the primary key is involved with many
aspects of performance and is a crucial design aspect for any
large or frequently used table. Make a habit of always specifying
one in the
CREATE TABLE statement.
(If you create the table, load data, and then do
ALTER TABLE to add a primary key
later, that operation is much slower than defining the primary key
when creating the table.)

You might wonder as I did, "How do I find out if my table is InnoDB or not?"
See the docs on "SHOW TABLE STATUS", for example http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SHOW_TABLE_STATUS.html.

Convert all databases to InnoDB (except "mysql" and "information_schema").
if [ ! -f "$HOME/.my.cnf" ]; then
echo "Please create a ~/.my.cnf first"
exit 1

John Deere x300 Specifications
Strengths Great Engine Lots of Power Great Turning Radius!
Weaknesses None
Overall Perfect Machine So far! Grass Has Never Looked This Good!
Strengths Very strong machine. Great turning capabilities, good on hills, strong bagger system, very smooth engine.
Weaknesses The only weakness I have found was that I cannot pull a small garden trailer because the bagger frame will not allow enough room for the trailer hitch to fit down on the trailer ball. I removed the hitch off of the trailer and dropped a pin through to pull the trailer
Overall I kept looking at a 24 h.p. Sears professional machine. It looked like the best for the money. As I was about to buy the Sears, I decided I would look at a John Deere other than the L series found at Lowes, Home Depot. I knew the X300 would be more money but I decided to look anyway. There is no comparison between the L and X series. The X series is a small commercial tractor built for many, many years of service. The X series was at least $1,000 more but once you see it, you can understand why. I have run my X330 for 2 1/2 hours as I just picked up the machine Tuesday, 2/2/10. I wanted to go ahead and purchase a machine now because of having to cut the Zoysia grass back close to the ground this time of the year. The bagger system worked great. It left a very clean ground and I was shocked at how well and even the grass was cut.
Strengths none
Weaknesses Hood melted paint off after 2 hours of use! spindle went down same day off taking it home!
Overall where is my 2186 cub cadet when I need it! I will never stray from cub cadet again!
Strengths Good, fun to use Tractor. Balanced ride. E-Z to use and clean. Decent turning to get in close.
No problem loading up the little red wagon with dirt or logs from hurricane- still lots of power.
Bagging system works like a gem (three acres of leaves).
Weaknesses My yard is not like a smooth football field. Wish the deck went a little higher. Expected a little higher top end speed when driving down road. Uneven cut when on angle like cutting arount the slight incline of the pool.
Overall After 60 hours- I have gotten use to the reverse cutting technique- lot of complaints on the internet- when I found out that they were talking about lifting that little lever- what crybabies. Conroe dealer- excellent. Would definitely by again. Good ride, smooth, comfortable, and reliable (so far).
Strengths Awesome machine.Great power and tight turning radius.Very comfortable for larger guys.You can tell the higher quality in this machine compared to the LA series.Can turn this mower with 1 finger.Have had no problems in 1 1/2 years of ownership.
Weaknesses Wish it had rear anti-scalp wheels as well as the front ones.Tires are whimpy and a simple thorn will make them go flat.Wish the seat was wider with arm rests.No deck wash port like cheaper LA models have.
Overall Overall its a great machine.Im on my second year of using it.Very comfortable with lots of power.Very tight turning radius with ease of use.Well built machine.Better than the LA series.Never broke down and never had to have it serviced for warranty items.Adjusting the deck for eveness was easy however i had to adjust the left side out so much farther out than the right side to keep deck level for some reason.
Strengths smooth handling, easy to use machine. The kawasaki engine is plenty powerful. Love the tight turning radius
Weaknesses Have had this unit 1 summer. Had it in twice on warranty as it was chewing up the drive belt. Did the proper winter storage and went to start it this spring- no spark. There was a defective module.
Overall I love the ride, ease of use and quick mowing job, but am getting real nervous about the problems that keep appearing on this new machine. The dealer has been great to deal with the problems under warranty, but what happens when the warranty expires? I thought I was getting a reliable unit.
Strengths I cut about 21/2 acres of grass on rough terrain. The ride is good, the performance excellent.
Weaknesses Sometimes leaves ridges in lawn
great machine, great turning radius, I recommend it
Strengths I'm a big guy---over 300#. Even with me on the JD x300 this tractor climbs the hills with ease. Runs beautifully, and drives ever so easy.
Weaknesses Just the slightest unevenness in the yard causes the JD x300 to cut "ridges" in the lawn. I can't always cut up and down the hill, and cutting across the hill does terrible things to the yard. Even the smallest little divot, where the cable tv wire was laid under the yard causes these ridges. Any suggestions on how to eliminate them would be greatly appreciated. My lawn will never be perfectly level.
Overall Very nice mower. Runs and drives so much nicer than my 15 yr old Bradley did.
Strengths Outstanding balance and torque. My acreage is made up of slopes and steep hills. The X300 navigates my property safely and with ease. The X300 has all the torquse and power I need to mow and maintain 4 acres of very challenging lawn. Even in wet weather (Portland, Oregon) the X300 performs very well.
Weaknesses I have used the X300 for almost two seasons now and have not had a single incident or maintenance issue. It starts, runs and works perfectly week after week. I have not found a weakness in this machine.
Overall Built to last. The overall added quality and transmission power as well as upgraded Kawasaki engine used in the X300 comparied to other machines sold in big box stores is worth the extra few hundred dollars. I do all the maintenance schedules and the X300 does all the work.

Mount Sunapee Reviews & Tips (33)
Mid-March 2014 it's a spring skiing with soft bumps on poorly groomed terrains. Have your skis waxed or apply fluoride because sliding isn't smooth with sudden stop-and-go especially with artificial snow coating on top of wet loose granular snow.
Mount Sunapee review written Mar 14 2014 - 11:58 AM
The conditions were great last Thursday. Only warning I would have would be avoid signs that say un-groomed trails. I took the family on Stovepipe to Williamson Trail, which looked like a nice lazy long trails through the woods. "Warning Moguls ahead" would have the been more accurate and helpful sign. Still, we survived and the rest of the trails were near perfect.
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 23 2014 - 03:56 PM
Ski the right side of the mountain early. As the day progresses, move to the left. The easier and more basic terrain is on the right, and tired people crowd that side of the mountain in the afternoon.
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 22 2014 - 04:09 PM
Friday was a big pow day. Lots os great natural stuff to boost from. i loved the crowd and the atmosphere. When I went home I looked up season passes. The bummer is they are linked to Okemo. Okemo is a class resort, but I would not be able to go much. Perhaps a pass for just Mount Sunapee?
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 17 2014 - 08:48 AM
I really enjoy this place. Good variety and great snow quality, at a short drive from home (about 45 minutes from the Mass. border). Sunday was a picture perfect day. The only advice I have is to go early on the weekends. Also, as the day progress, and the mountain gets crowded, the Sunbowl Quad is a good short alternative other than the Sunapee Express.
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 11 2014 - 04:28 PM
What a beautiful day Sunday, February 9th was. Perfect conditions and a blue sky day. Glad I was there at the first lift turn though, as it got crazy crowded after 11:00. Does this mountain have a capacity limit? As I left at 2:00, I noticed they were busing in people from down at the beach? Advice: Get there early and ski hard. Leave early, too. It got too crazy to ski there. People overpopulated the hill. Glad to leave. Good morning, though...GO EARLY ON WEEKENDS!
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 11 2014 - 02:50 PM
Great snow here this past Saturday! Got up there around 8am so got a good parking spot in main lot. A few tips for weekend skiers: plan to eat either a very early lunch or very late lunch as the two base lodges and lodge at the summit cannot handle the amount of people in attendance. I've never seen lodges so busy! Stay to the left of the mountain on the slower lifts and you can ski with a lot less people and probably make the same# of runs!
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 10 2014 - 02:40 PM
We really enjoy Sunapee, along with the stellar views of the lake. The mountain offers up a lot of medium grade terrain which make for great cruising. The snowmaking and grooming has been wonderful since the 2008 CNL / Mueller lease took hold. My only gripe is that the high speed lift tends to put to many people on the hill. It was very congested Saturday to the point of being dangerous. We did witness 2 little hot shot racer girls collide at one point. As I said we love this mountain, but it is even better on a weekday when my golf & ski card gets me 40% off on the second ticket, and you can really let 'em rip without being afraid you're going to run someone over..
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 04 2014 - 05:19 AM
Snow and Mountain were awsome this past Saturday. My 6 year old nephew really enjoyed the learn to ski program. For his 2nd time ever on skis he did really well. Cudos to the instructors. Lift lines were a bit slow, but not horrible. My biggest complaint would be the lodges lack of seating.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 27 2014 - 03:38 PM
Very icy on Sunday. Not really set up well for boarders with the wooden dividers leading onto the lifts. Also, some of the lifts are pretty fast for young kids getting on.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 22 2014 - 02:14 PM
Great - and my daughter who is a beginner loved her experience too.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 14 2014 - 04:38 AM
Was a great mountain, my family enjoyed the snowboarding on easier terrain from the summit, don't miss lynx if an advanced snowboarder/ skiing
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 11 2014 - 06:44 AM
Great day this past Sunday. Weather was good. Lift lines long - no suprise since it wa first day above zero! Snot good, trails great for my daughter who is a beginner. She enjoyed herself so that makes mama happy!!
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 07 2014 - 04:44 PM
Awsome day this past Sunday. I think it was a day where it wasn't below 0. Clear blue sky, no wind, probably about high 20's. Brought my daughter who is a very cautious beginner skiier. Had to coach her down from top to get to a greeen. Trail was nice and wide and flat terrain. She had so much confidence by end of day! That makes mom happy. Except long lift lines.....overall good mountain to hit to get warmed up for first time out in the season!
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 07 2014 - 03:20 PM
The snow quality and the lifts are pretty solid. The main quad is great but the sun bowl quad seemed to stop a lot. Do NOT go on a day that you think will be busy. This place was a ZOO when I was up there at the end of a school vacation week and it wasn't pleasant. It took me 45 minutes to get from the parking lot to the mountain and get my ticket (I had to wait in two lines, one for the bus and the other humongous line for the ticket window) and I didn't wait less than 10 minutes for the lift all day with packed trails on the way down. It's a nice easy trip from Boston and a decent place to ski with lots of nice cruising runs but don't go there at a peak time!!!
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 07 2014 - 02:20 PM
Great glades for boarders - open and plentiful. When it snows here in Boston, Sunapee is my first choice! I like to get there by 7:30, grab breakfast in the lodge ($4 breakfast sandwiches) and get first run :)
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 06 2014 - 08:13 PM
Also wanted to comment on the speed traps on the way to the mountain... Be careful! We got pulled over (going 75) and saw 5 others get pulled over as well. This will definitely add $250 to your day
Mount Sunapee review written Mar 12 2013 - 07:25 AM
Sunapee is a fantastic mountain with beautiful views and I prefer it to others in the area, since there are a good number of trails that are long and winding versus fast and steep (there are these too for those that prefer that) The lines were a bit long on a Sunday, but we had gone earlier in the season President's weekend and it was surprisingly less busy. As far as Liftopia- wasn't worth the deal this time. Full price tickets are $74 and after service fees liftopia ticket was $70. Turns out that we had a car issue the morning of and had to change our ticket to Sunday (through the mountain, not liftopia) and we were charged $15 each to change the tickets. All in all we paid 84 for the day - definitely not worth it if you forsee that you might not be able to make it that day.
Mount Sunapee review written Mar 12 2013 - 07:22 AM
Very good experience at Sunapee on Sunday, February 24. No lift lines at all, great snow, and much better terrain than I was expecting. This was my first time at Sunapee and I will definitely go back. One of the best options within a 2 hour drive from Boston area!
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 26 2013 - 02:23 PM
The conditions were great, good coverage and very little ice. No lift lines but then we were there on a week day. I would never go there on a weekend or holiday due to the crowds. The was a long, slow line to exchange your liftopia receipt for an actual ticket. We bought our ticket from liftopia the night before and it took a long time for the staff to confirm it. Be prepared to spend a half hour waiting in line with other fuming skiers with liftopia receipts while the Mt Sunapee staff track down your ticket.
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 18 2013 - 11:21 AM
I went on a Sunday right after Nemo dumped two feet of snow. The conidtions were awesome. Unfortunately so was the size of the crowd. Lift lines were like the bad old days before high-speed quads. I waited 20 minutes in one line and was told the lines were even longerr elsewhere. Sunapee does not do a good job with large crowds. I found a short lift near the old lodge and stayed there in the afternoon. But I will avoid the mountatin if I think it's crowded in the future!
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 12 2013 - 04:34 PM
Great snow quality and coverage. Gorgeous views. This is a friendly mountain and it is great for families. If has good terrain but if you are looking for lots of double diamonds this is not your best bet.
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 12 2013 - 02:59 PM
It was in the 50s on Wednesday, with awful downpours Thursday a.m. Sunapee prides themselves on their grooming, and the conditions Friday were just awesome. One bad (huge, easy to see) ice patch on the Wing Ding trail, and everything else was fantastic. What a great day, again.
Mount Sunapee review written Feb 03 2013 - 04:40 PM
When facing the mountain on a crowded day go to the left hand side of the main quad, the lines are much shorter.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 29 2013 - 02:39 PM
Very crowded with long lines on the weekend. The wait on the singles line is actually longer, first and only mountain I've ever been to where this has been the case. Great mix of snowplowing kids, just learning beginners and out of control teens on the"advanced" runs.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 29 2013 - 02:33 PM
Love the mountain, but get there early. Back side is lots of fun to ski. Sunapee is definitely an intermediate mountain, but what is has is lots of fun. The terrain park and jump elements are the best I've seen in NE, but I have not seen them all. Plenty of deals out there if you search. I ski Sunapee a few times each season.
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 26 2013 - 06:06 AM
My most favorite mountain to Ski in New Hampshire. I had a great day Skiing with my daughter, who Snow Boards. I have Skied on the weekend and even with the crowd you never feel crowded. The lines move very fast. The grooming is second to none and the lodge is nice.

Mount Sunapee review written Dec 27 2012 - 04:43 AM
Visited Sunapee on "Magic Monday" 1/2/12 for half-priced tickets with my GF (who's a good skier). The 3-4 runs we did right before lunch were actually pretty great. It was mostly hard packed man-made snow that was well-groomed. Lines were reasonable. We took lunch around 12:40 and when we got back out, you could have used hockey skates to get down the hill. Pretty unforgiving stuff once it was all blown/skied off: we both took spills that felt like wiping out on hard concrete. Skiing in New England is going to suck until we get some real snow. Tip from previous experiences at Sunapee: Its a great place to go on a mid-week snow day. Its jammed on Saturdays. Just big enough for a "real mountain experience" and it's just under 2 hours away from Boston. A g
Mount Sunapee review written Jan 04 2012 - 11:27 AM
Overpriced, terrible staff, crowded. I got a brochure from McDonalds and read about the NH Sunday special, and so when we got tickets the lady was like, "I never heard of that." So we ended up paying an extra $15 or so. The left part of the mountain (going up the lift or looking at a map) is usually the least crowded. Most bumps are seeded, and this place is groomed to death.
Mount Sunapee review written Jul 21 2011 - 11:07 AM
We went on a Sunday and the place was WAY TO CROWDED. As I understand it kids ski free on Fridays and Sunday. Wish I knew that before we went. We were waiting in line for the sunbowl lift for over forty minutes at one point. They actually started hawking drinks and burritos to the mob of disgruntled skiers waiting in line. Its too bad because the trails themselves were awesome and not crowded at all. Bottle neck was def the lifts. Lodges were also a total riot scene. I would avoid this place like the plague on the weekends.

Great ski area in it's size class, much upgraded in the Ten years or so since being leased by Okemo. Check into the 1/2 day Sunday ticket deals for NH and maybe VT too residents with ID. Very decent snowmaking program. Other deals too check their website for Ladies days carload days etc. Good strong management team very dedicated to the customer satisfaction. Nice flat parking area nice views of the lake. Road in and out to I-89 a bit of a challenge. Many speed traps so be careful going down hill .. in your car.

Diversity of Medicinal Plants among Different Forest-use Types of the Pakistani Himalaya
- Muhammad Adnan,
- Dirk Hölscher
- … show all 2 hide
Diversity of Medicinal Plants among Different Forest-use Types of the Pakistani Himalaya Medicinal plants collected in Himalayan forests play a vital role in the livelihoods of regional rural societies and are also increasingly recognized at the international level. However, these forests are being heavily transformed by logging. Here we ask how forest transformation influences the diversity and composition of medicinal plants in northwestern Pakistan, where we studied old-growth forests, forests degraded by logging, and regrowth forests. First, an approximate map indicating these forest types was established and then 15 study plots per forest type were randomly selected. We found a total of 59 medicinal plant species consisting of herbs and ferns, most of which occurred in the old-growth forest. Species number was lowest in forest degraded by logging and intermediate in regrowth forest. The most valuable economic species, including six Himalayan endemics, occurred almost exclusively in old-growth forest. Species composition and abundance of forest degraded by logging differed markedly from that of old-growth forest, while regrowth forest was more similar to old-growth forest. The density of medicinal plants positively correlated with tree canopy cover in old-growth forest and negatively in degraded forest, which indicates that species adapted to open conditions dominate in logged forest. Thus, old-growth forests are important as refuge for vulnerable endemics. Forest degraded by logging has the lowest diversity of relatively common medicinal plants. Forest regrowth may foster the reappearance of certain medicinal species valuable to local livelihoods and as such promote acceptance of forest expansion and medicinal plants conservation in the region.
