HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA / ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO (ANS) -- Long before the global economic downturn kicked in, filmmakers in Los Angeles, the self-proclaimed movie capital of the world, were upping sticks and leaving Hollywood for more cost-effective locations to shoot their movies.
Albuquerque Studios: New Mexico is attracting a new breed of cost-conscious filmmakers
"Hollywood is being snubbed by its own creative talent," Bowes writes for an online article at www.bbc.co.uk .
"There is something of a stampede by the entertainment industry to get out of town," he says.
According to Bowes, Canada was one of the first countries to benefit from Hollywood's so-called runaway productions, but now the competition is closer to home.
"More than 40 US states are offering filmmakers tantalizing financial incentives, such as rebates and tax-free loans, to make the next blockbuster in their backyard," he states.
This year, only five major movies, defined as having a budget of $75m (£51m) or more, are being produced in Los Angeles. The figure compares with 21 films last year and 71 in 1996.
"It is a dramatic loss and we're seeing similar trends in television," says Paul Audley, President of Film LA, the body that issues filming permits in Los Angeles.
Audley says he has seen a massive decline in LA-based film productions. "It has a massive economic impact on, not only greater Los Angeles, but the whole state of California," he adds.
BBC reporter Bowes says that the loss of film production to states offering generous financial incentives to the studios has cost California billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs.
"After all, there is a huge knock-on effect when a studio decides to relocate," Bowes says, adding: "Catering companies, lumberyards that build the sets, make-up artists and freelance camera operators are all affected."
"It's very frustrating for the industry," says Audley.
"What we're finding, from some of the unions and guilds, is that their members are now leaving permanently for the states that do have the incentives and have the work that is available for them," Audley says.
One of the states benefiting from California's loss is New Mexico. With a similar climate to California -- plenty of sunny days with wall-to-wall blue skies -- it is a perfect place to make movies, Bowes reports.
He says the state enjoys many of the characteristics that attracted the pioneers to Hollywood, decades ago.
"In the old days people used to come here for westerns, if they had a cowboy movie," says Michael Dellheim, a location manager who has worked in the state for 23 year, and who highlights New Mexico's similarities to California.
"Now," says BBC reporter Bowes, "with a state-of-the art filmmaking facility, Albuquerque Studios, the state is well-equipped to make movies of any genre."
"We do it all now -- episodic television with cops chasing the bad guys down urban city streets," explains Dellheim.
Dellheim is currently scouting the state for a location that resembles a beach in the San Francisco Bay. It is for scene for Denzel's Washington's latest movie, 'The Book of Eli,' which is currently filming in New Mexico.
The movie is a post-apocalyptic thriller in which the Oscar-winner stars as a lone warrior named Eli, who battles to save the future of humanity, says Bowes.
Bowes reports that much of the movie is being filmed in a desolate desert location on the outskirts of Albuquerque -- which makes a perfect setting -- but the production company chose the venue because it made financial sense.
Bowes says that New Mexico offers production companies a 25 precent tax rebate, to make a movie in the state. In addition, producers can apply for an interest-free loan of up to $15m (£10m).
"There are places in California that might have worked creatively," explains Andrew Kosove of Alcon Entertainment, which is financing and producing the film, who adds: "Not only might the movie have cost more money but I would have lost all those incentives, and so I couldn't have made it."
It is a balancing act that every movie producer is grappling with, says Bowes, who also says that resigned to leaving California, producers are shopping around in other states to get the best deal.
Last year, the film industry in Michigan grew from $2m (£1.3m) to around $125m (£85m), thanks to a generous portfolio of incentives, Bowes states.
"I'm no different to any small businessman in any small business, and I'm going to manufacture my product where I can create the highest quality at the lowest cost," says Kosove.
"The industry's home is California, but contrary to what may be popular perception -- because of a few movie stars that live in big mansions -- it's a business with very difficult economics," says Kosove, who believes the film industry is just like any other small business.
California's loss is New Mexico's gain. The state's burgeoning film industry is enjoying a boom period, says Bowes.
"New Mexico is an odd state in that we're usually at the bottom of the rankings in terms of all kinds of horrible things -- teen pregnancy, DWI (driving while intoxicated) -- but we're number one in terms of this whole incentive thing," says Dellheim.
The use of new filmmaking technology has also hastened the exodus from Hollywood, Bowes says in his online article.
"This movie is being shot on digital media…it's much more easily transported, it's much more of a portable medium," explains David Valdez, executive producer, The Book of Eli.
Bowes says: "It all begs the question: will Hollywood ever be the same again? The filmmaking exodus has many people in Los Angeles deeply worried about runaway productions."
He reports that California has only just introduced a measure offering film-makers incentives, although the plan has been criticized for being too little too late.
California's Governor, former action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration has given the green light to a 5-year, $100bn (£68bn) plan to encourage movie producers to stay in the state.
But there is a cap on productions with a budget of at least $75m (£51m), so major feature films are not eligible, says Bowes.
"Every other state gets it -- that this is an industry that brings massive economic benefit, and California is just getting it now," says Audley.

"The myth that Hollywood lives here and wouldn't leave is over," Audley says.
"We have been dealing with runaway production from
California for over a decade and so this is just one more city that is benefiting from our production exodus," says Karen Covell of the Hollywood Prayer Network (www.Hollywoodprayernetwork.org ), whose members pray for and minister to those who work in Hollywood.
"Yes, it seriously hurts California but it's not new. We need to offer better incentives for producers so that they will want to shoot in California.
Dan Wooding interviewing screen legend Jane Russell (ASSIST News photo)
Dan Wooding, founder of ANS, has interviewed scores of Hollywood stars including Burt Lancaster, Jane Russell, Mickey
Rooney and Pat Boone, and says he is saddened that much of today's film making is taking place outside of 'Tinseltown.'
"I know that many in Hollywood's Christian community will be sorry to see a portion of the movie industry move out of the area, but that won't stop them sharing their faith with their colleagues -- wherever they are working," he said.
"I guess the bottom line for the producers is money and if they believe they can make their films for less in other parts of North America, they will do it.
"Still, I think many will remain in Hollywood as that is really where the big studios are!"

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Disbursement – How and when is aid paid to me?
Student financial aid, such as Pell Grant, SEOG, scholarships, or loans, is initially awarded to you as "authorized" financial aid. If the amount of your authorized aid is sufficient, you may enroll, and sometimes purchase books, without having to pay "out-of-pocket." After the drop/add period has passed, attendance has been verified, book vouchers have expired, and other accounting processes have been completed, financial aid is paid into your student account like "real money" on "Disbursement Day." This is usually about four weeks after the term begins, and is NOT the day on which you will receive a refund of excess aid. The disbursement date and other important dates and deadlines are shown in the Financial Aid Overview on our website. If you have a credit balance, the Business Office will issue a refund within ten business days after disbursement.
There is an EXCEPTION for student loans: Students who request a loan for one term, are on financial aid probation, or have had a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal approved will receive loan funds into their student accounts in two disbursements. The first will be made on the normal disbursement date. The second payment into your account will be made after 60% of the term has been completed. If you have a credit balance, the Business Office will issue a refund within ten business days after disbursement.
What is a book voucher?
If your authorized Federal Student Aid exceeds your total charges, we may make some of that excess available for you to purchase books at our online bookstore for a limited time. An email will be sent to your student email address letting you know that a voucher is available and how to use it. However, you will have to pay "out-of-pocket" for other supplies, uniforms, safety equipment, entrance exams, etc. that may be required for your courses.
What is FKCC's federal school code?
FKCC's Federal School Code is 001485.
What is the FAFSA?
The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
You need to fill out the FAFSA to be eligible for grants, work-study jobs, student loans and scholarships.
You can apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
To complete your application, you will need a PIN number to electronically sign your FAFSA. This is to ensure your privacy and security. You can obtain your pin at www.pin.ed.gov.
When should I apply for financial aid?
The FAFSA is available every year on January 1st. It is normally best to complete it after you (and your spouse or parents, if applicable) have filed tax returns for the previous calendar year. You should apply early even if you are not planning to start school until the summer or fall. That way you can figure out how you are going to pay for school before you begin. About three weeks after filing tax returns automatically, you should be able to use the Data Retrieval Tool in the FAFSA; this will import your income information from IRS directly, and we strongly recommend that you use it to limit the chances of an error on your part.
I do not think I will qualify for financial aid. Should I still apply?
Yes. Many scholarships and state grants require completion of the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. This helps awarding organizations compare your unmet need to that of other students.
Do I have to reapply for financial aid each year?
Yes, you must apply for Financial Aid each year. You can apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
Do I have to wait for admission before applying for financial aid?
No, but you do have to be admitted as an FKCC student and be enrolled in classes to have aid authorized.
If I am a Non-U.S. Citizen, can I still receive financial aid?
Yes, if you are determined to be an eligible non-citizen. The following types of non-citizens are eligible for federal financial aid:
US Permanent Residents with a Permanent Resident Card (I-551) or Conditional Permanent Resident (I-551C) or those with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) showing the destinations of Refugee, Asylum Granted, Parolee or Cuban- Haitian Entrant or those with an Immigration Court document approving Asylum or documentation or entering the U.S. under provisions of the Victims or Trafficking and Violence Protection Act are eligible for federal financial aid.
Are international students eligible to receive state or federal financial aid?
No. There are, however a number of privately funded scholarship programs for International students. Go to www.iefa.org to explore your options.
What information do I need when I fill out a FAFSA?
Am I an Independent or Dependent student?
Who is my 'parent' when I fill out the FAFSA?
Where can I find out more information about Bright Futures?
What does 'EFC' stand for?
EFC stands for Expected Family Contribution. This is the amount that Federal Student Aid estimates that you and your family can contribute annually to your postsecondary education, based on the information you entered in your FAFSA. It is used to determine your eligibility for Federal Student Aid. It is NOT the amount for which FKCC will bill you and it is NOT the amount of aid you will receive.
What is a Pell Grant? How can I get one?
Pell Grants are federally-funded, need-based, cash grants given to college students to help pay for college. Pell Grants can be awarded up to $5,730 for the 2014-15 school year (up to 2,865.00 per semester). Pell Grants do not have to be paid back. Fill out the FAFSA to be considered for a Pell Grant. Any Pell Grant-eligible student whose parent or guardian died as a result of military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after Sept.11, 2001 will receive the maximum award amount. The student must be under 24 years old or enrolled at least part-time in college at the time of their parent's or guardian's death.
The email I got from Federal Student Aid said that I was approved for Pell Grant money, but now FKCC says that I'm not…why?
Please be sure to read that email carefully. It probably says something like, "Based on the information we have on record for you, your EFC is _____. You MAY [emphasis added] be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant and other federal student aid. Your school will use your EFC to determine your financial aid eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study, and possible funding from your state and school." Federal Student Aid only considers part of your eligibility – the numerical part, based on income, family size, etc. FKCC has to check other aspects of eligibility, such as whether you're in an eligible degree program, if you have a standard high school diploma or GED, if your previous post-secondary work is satisfactory, whether you have excess credits, whether you have loans in default, etc.
My FAFSA was selected for "verification" - now what?
First, don't panic! This simply means that Federal Student Aid has instructed FKCC to obtain additional documents or information from you, and perhaps your parents or spouse, as applicable. FKCC will send you a letter letting you know what is needed and where to find it on our website. Please do not ignore this letter! After you submit these documents or information, we will contrast the information in those documents to the information in your FAFSA and make corrections as needed. We cannot determine the amount of aid for which you are eligible, if any, until this process is complete. Your FAFSA is not considered complete and correct until you have submitted all documents and information and all issues have been resolved. We allow ten business days for verification after you submit complete and correct documents. When verification is complete, you should receive an award offer in your FKCC email account.
My email from Federal Student Aid said I would get 5,500.00 or more in loans; why hasn't FKCC given them to me?
FKCC does not automatically offer or "package" student loans; please remember that the email says that you MAY be eligible. Students should avoid loans if at all possible, and exhaust all other funding opportunities first. At FKCC, you must request student loans. On our website, go to current students/financial aid/federal direct loans for more information and the student and parent loan request forms and procedures.
I hear that there are trillions of dollars available in scholarships…how do I find them?
Be very careful of any advertisement about financial aid, and avoid any website, company, or organization that charges for advice or referral to sources of aid! Some of the "trillions of dollars" they may mention probably include Federal Student Aid, for which you should have already applied using the FAFSA. The first place to look for scholarships is the FKCC website; go to current students/scholarships/apply here. Your username and password are the same ones use to sign in to myFKCC. You should check our website for scholarships every couple weeks; offerings can change frequently. Be sure that you meet the qualifications for all scholarships for which you apply, and follow directions carefully. Check your FKCC email for updates regarding your scholarship applications. If you are a high school student, be sure to talk with your counselors about opportunities. Many local organizations offer scholarships to high school students that may not appear on our website. Some programs, such as Take Stock in Children, are available in Middle School, so start early. For both high school and college students, if you, your parents, or your spouse are a member of an organization or club, such as Rotary, Lions, etc., there may be funding available. Also, some Native American tribes offer funding to their members. Other sources may include religious organizations, vocational rehab agencies, ethnic organizations, and the like. Employers sometimes offer tuition assistance or reimbursement, as well. There is more information on the Federal Student Aid website: studentaid.ed.gov/types/grants-scholarships/finding-scholarships
Do I have to be enrolled full-time to receive financial aid?
It depends on the type of aid you are receiving. Student loans require at least "halftime" enrollment; this is 6 credit hours for college level courses and 7.5 hours for the Law Enforcement Academy. Pell Grant funds are pro-rated at 25, 50, 75 or 100 percent of your per term maximum, based on your enrollment. At some levels of Pell eligibility, however, you must be enrolled at a certain level to receive any funds; check your award offer email for details. Many scholarships require fulltime attendance (12 hours or more), but some are pro-rated similarly to Pell Grants. Some awards, such as Bright Futures, may not require fulltime attendance in any term, but require you to complete a minimum number of credit hours in an academic year. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the terms of all your awards – thousands of dollars could be at stake. Remember also, that almost all forms of aid require some form of satisfactory academic progress, although it may vary from one to another.
I was awarded Pell Grant and I've enrolled in classes, but I still have a balance due…why?
Remember that you can over-spend almost any amount of financial aid – things like non-resident tuition, housing fees, enrollment above full-time, and courses with higher lab fees can result in total charges that exceed the amount of your authorized aid. Also, students are awarded Pell Grant and other forms of financial aid in varying amounts; your Pell could be anywhere from 0 to 2,865.00 for a semester. As soon as you enroll, be sure that you are aware of your total charges and your total aid.
What is "Satisfactory Academic Progress?"
To be eligible to receive Federal Student Aid funds, the Dept. of Education requires FKCC to have a Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and to periodically monitor students' academic progress. At FKCC, a student must maintain a per-term and cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 and a per-term and cumulative course completion rate of at least 67%. Your course completion rate is calculated by dividing the number of credit hours you successfully completed by the number of credit hours you attempted. Courses dropped with the drop/add period do not count. FKCC checks academic progress at the end of each term, and your status for the next term may change as a result. Financial Aid probation and suspension may be different from academic probation and suspension. You can find more detailed information in the Student Handbook. Here are some examples:
· If you withdraw from, or fail, all of your courses in a single term (even if just one course), you will become ineligible for aid in the next term (suspension). You would have a 0.00 GPA and a 0% course completion rate.
· If your GPA (per term or cumulative) is greater than 0.00 but less than 2.0 or your course completion rate (per term or cumulative) is greater than 0% but less than 67% for one term, your status for the next term will be "probation." You will still be eligible for aid, with some restrictions, especially on loans.
· If your GPA (per term or cumulative) is greater than 0.00 but less than 2.0 or your course completion rate (per term or cumulative) is greater than 0% but less than 67% for two consecutive terms, your status for the next term will be "suspension." You will not be eligible for aid in any future term, unless you submit an appeal and it is approved. An approved grade change or administrative withdrawal/refund may reinstate your eligibility, however (see your instructor or an Academic Advisor about these).
If you have attended one or more other postsecondary schools, your GPA and course completion rate are generally treated the same as if you had attended FKCC.
If your aid is suspended and you have not had a grade change or administrative refund/withdrawal approved that made you eligible again, the only way to reinstate your eligibility is to submit an appeal and for it to be approved, even if you have attended at your own expense and now meet satisfactory academic progress requirements.
The Financial Aid Suspension Appeal form is available in the Financial Aid Forms section (see the left side of this screen).
What is Maximum Timeframe?
Federal Student Aid requires you to achieve your chosen degree by the time you have attempted 150% of the credit hours required for that degree. For example, if you are in an A.A. program that requires sixty credit hours, you will become ineligible for aid when you have attempted ninety credit hours and not achieved that degree. More information can be found in the Student Handbook, and the Maximum Timeframe Appeal is available in the Financial Aid Forms section (see the left side of this screen).
What if I am a student at FKCC but I want to take a course or courses at another institution?
Students can only receive financial aid through one institution at a time. If you want to take courses elsewhere temporarily you must complete the Transient Student Association Application at Florida Virtual Campus and a Consortium Agreement. It is the students responsibility to transfer funds received to pay funds due elsewhere. FKCC does not pay fees at other institutions directly.
What do I need to do to allow a third party (parent, spouse, etc) to discuss details of my student account with FKCC?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) generally does not allow details of a postsecondary student's records to be disclosed to a third party without written permission from the student, regardless of the student's age. You must submit a completed FERPA Consent Form to Enrollment Services to allow us to discuss your records with anyone else.

As I watch the Obama administration blithely ignoring all of the signs of a weakening dollar and the implications of massive spending and deficits, I am reminded of how President Richard Nixon dealt with the collapse of the Bretton-Woods accords on August 15, 1971. (At the time, I was preparing to enter my freshman year at the University of Tennessee and was more concerned with getting ready for cross-country season than I was the economy.) Nixon also had inherited the Vietnam War from his predecessor, just as Obama has inherited Bush's wars.
Nixon's response was to lie. The dollar was fine, the devaluation would make U.S. exports cheaper, and the price controls of "Phase I" would stop inflation. All would be well, and it was those blasted foreigners insisting on buying U.S. gold instead of U.S. goods that really was the heart of the problem.Today, Obama and his Krugmanian and Bernankian minions tell us that those blasted foreigners caused the entire problem by saving too much money. While we are not seeing (for now) an upward price movement on most goods, they tell us that the REAL problem is deflation, another lie.
There is one important difference between Nixon and Obama, however. The press hated Nixon, so their was outright skepticism in the media that Nixon was being truthful, although the mostly-liberal/left press tended to think that gold was evil and Nixon's monetary "reforms" were not leftist enough. Congress responded with a decade of wild spending that ultimately culminated in a near-collapse of the system with inflation and fleeing capital.
Obama does not have to worry about such treatment by the mainstream media. I never have seen such worship of a president in my lifetime as that of Obama (except, perhaps JFK and his "glamorous" administration full of "the best and the brightest"). The press firmly stands behind this irresponsible blast of spending and debt, and anyone who objects is accused of racism and worse.
But, the reality is much, much different. Obama and his people can lie, the press can repeat those lies with impunity, but neither Obama nor his government nor the New York Times can defeat the laws of economics.8:11 am on March 3, 2009 Email Bill Anderson

anyone help
Not conclusive evidence but....
Processor is capable of 32 bit and 64 bit operation
Quad-Core AMD Opteron? Processor Key Features
HP Website includes driver support for 32 bit & 64 bit OS
It is, I think pretty much all AMDs have been 64-bit for a long time, far longer than Intel.
I have the same server and I'm using it for ESXi. 8GB RAM, boots off USB, 2x 1Gb NICs, SAN for storage, absolutely awesome for the price.
EDIT: If you want more proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...B3.2C_65_nm.29 - AMD64.
64bit, with AMD-V (along with bios support) allowing it to run 64 bit virtual machines. A number of us use them for ESXi testing machines (I just use one at home for an ESXi server).
Hope you dont mind if i ask some questions like what OS do you use? Why boot off USB and not load ESX on to disk and also whats all this SAN storage business? Better than NAS?(not that i am familiar with that either)
I am very much a laggard
If i was to get this server i would get a ram upgrade but also am interested in hypervisor and storage options
a san has better performance then a nas, but basicly they are the same thing, just they go around things in different ways, you can get different types e.g fiber channel and also Iscisi. I would say use ESXI as is cheap as chips (free!). he is probly booting from USB as has no hard disk in the actual server? theres not much point paying loads of money for a disk if only a few hundred meg is installed.
So i guess this removes the issue of having to transfer data if you take the DC down with the data on and saves replication of data if i was to have to copy all data onto another DC to take one down.
Expensive solutions though I see
The nice thing about them tho, if you store you vmx files (virtual hard disks) if the esxi host dies, all you need to do is show the files to another ESXI host and just boot. reduces the downtime. altho don't think it works that simply from a Intel machine onto a AMD machine.
you could also just buy a NAS that has ISCISI and set it up that way. Just make sure you have a raid controller in the nas otherwise it is pointless has no redundency.
you could buy another server like you where looking at put lots of hard disks in and install freenas and use that as a Iscsi nas box.
Booting from USB because it was just a bit easier. I bought the bundle deal from ServersPlus which was that server with 4GB RAM (bought an extra 4GB) and a USB stick with ESXi already installed. I did a fresh install of ESXi anyway, but as ESXi does so few read/writes the USB stick will probably work out more reliable and easier to replace than the internal HDD. I can swap out a cloned replacement USB stick with no issues, whereas if I was using HDDs I'd probably want them mirrored in RAID1.
I said I'm using a SAN for storage, but as it's NFS it is more accurately NAS.
SAN = block-level (iSCSI)
NAS = file-level (CIFS, NFS)
I've got a Sun 7410 Unified Storage system which does iSCSI, CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP, etc. NFS is the most flexible and gives best performance with VMware in my experience using this hardware.
Having shared storage (be it iSCSI SAN or NFS NAS) isn't so much of an issue with ESXi as it runs as a standalone host (I'm talking about the free version of ESXi here), but eventually I'll have a pool of ESX servers using shared storage. In this way, if an ESX host fails another ESX host which has access to the same shared storage can automatically take over. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, Google 'VI3 Demo' and watch the old VMware video. It basically takes your downtime in the case of a server failure from a few days to about two minutes. With VMware Fault Tolerance you can get that down to less than a second of downtime (there's a couple of limitations).
As far as your 'expensive' comment goes, it depends. I was looking at £100k+ for a NetApp solution. My Sun box is the top-end model and came in at less than a third of the NetApp quote and is still bigger and more powerful. Sun, EMC, Dell, etc. all do cheaper solutions, and you could even build your own SAN/NAS using OpenFiler or FreeNAS for the same price as a decent PC.
Hope this helps,
People boot from usb because when it was ESXi 3.5 it didn't support booting from the hard disk but did from USB (and had an internal connector).
HP at one point apparently where selling servers with ESXI installed on a chip on the motherboard!
Yeah, I'm not sure if VMware are still pushing the 'ESXi Embedded' product but I guess it has it's place. If you're buying dedicated VMware hosts, might as well keep things as simple as possible. If I was installing a huge ESX server farm then I'd rather not have to deal with failing HDDs or putting in USB sticks!
So basically a NAS is a machine with 1 gig NIC in and 2 or more drives for RAID1?
Thats it?
All read/write is over the wire?

Have a Seat – Let Us Tell You All About Bar Stools
Now that you have created the perfect bar – one that's great for entertaining party guests, enjoying a meal with family, or just chilling with friends – you'll need the ideal stools to complete the package. From swiveling to stationary, seat height to adjustable footrests, and metal versus wood construction, these are all important aspects to consider.
It's all part of the fun when decorating your home's entertainment area, and to help you in this endeavor we've put together a handy guide.
Size – with Bar Stools, It Matters
Perhaps the most important part of purchasing a bar stool is in the height. You might have found the coolest color and the most appealing fabric, but if the seat is too short or too tall for your bar, then the stools won't be very practical, and no one will be comfortable sitting in them.
The Tall and Short of It
If your stools are too tall, your family and friends might bonk their knees when they sit down. And that's not good. Either is a stool that's too short. You don't want your guests to feel like they're looking up at the bar.
Bar stools average a 30-inch seat height. This is an important measurement to remember, especially when it's easy to confuse a bar stool with a counter stool. Counter stools are typically shorter, with an average height of 26 inches. Just remember, bars are higher than counters, and therefore bar stools are taller; they can go up to 34 inches for tall models.
Give Me Some Space
We all like to have a little elbow room, right? So when planning your purchase, be sure you calculate the amount of space you will need between each seat. It's such an important detail that there is even an industry standard. The suggestion is to allow for 26 to 30 inches of space between each stool. That way, everyone is comfy and can enjoy a drink or meal without spilling it on the person next to them.
Wood vs. Metal
There are two main materials to consider here: wood and metal – two different materials that present two different vibes in your bar area. Wood, especially with leather upholstery, is perfect for rooms with a darker decor, such as a "man cave" type of setting. Bar stools made of lighter wood, on the other hand, are ideal for a breakfast bar, or kitchen bar, in a bright, sunny room.
Metal makes a good choice, too, when you need versatility. They go well with all sorts of home decor, and are particularly ideal in a contemporary eating or entertaining area. In addition, they are more adjustable, which is nice when you have friends and family who come in assorted sizes.
Whether you go with metal or wood, you also have to decide between a swiveling or non-swiveling model. Swiveling styles make it easier for everyone to turn to their left or right when chatting. (Plus, they're fun to spin around in when no one is looking!)
Get a Lift
One more thing to look out for when shopping for metal bar stools is a covered piston. Be sure that the hydraulics or gas lifts are covered. No need to send guests home with greasy pants. Make sure that the pistons have a sufficient sleeve over them for protection.
Seat Upholstery
After you've picked the right height, the right construction, and taken into account the best spacing for your stools, it's time to look at the seat – the place where you take the proverbial load off. For wood styles that aren't upholstered you have the option of adding cushions, and since there are many designs from which to choose, it's easy to match the cushions to your decor.
If the stool comes upholstered, it's always good to have upholstery that's easy to clean and maintain. Materials like microfiber, polyester, vinyl, and leather are more stain-resistant and durable.
So there you have it. Stoolology – the science of bar stools. Have fun shopping for your perfect match!

What are you like? Well, you can do pretty much most things physically. Walk, run, climb stairs, climb up the "rock wall" of the playground equipment, climb onto all sorts of things, walk backwards, march, dance, jump, stand on one leg. You don't yet ride the tricycle, pump your legs while swinging, or have a good grasp on kicking balls.
You continue to grow taller. We don't have your annual doctor's appointment until next week and I'll update things then. (Update: Weight=32 lb 11.2 oz or 70th%, Height= 38" or 65th%.) Your hair is perfectly highlighted blonde (natural, of course). It still curls up at the end. You had your second haircut recently but it's still super long. It gets all ratty and tangled underneath but we've figured out how to (mostly) painlessly handle that. You like braids sometimes, ponytails, pigtails, hair clips. Still have wonderful eye lashes. You have pretty teeth and got that last one this year. You wear size 8 shoes.
Speaking of, you love shoes. But not just any shoes. You enjoy dressing up in high heels. You like your flip flops so much that it was a battle to get you out of them once the weather turned cooler. Your favorite pair of shoes are purple dress shoes. You also have some sparkly silver ones you like. I can't get you into any that I like, even though you said you'd wear them when we bought them. You also love jewelry, and you now have some beads to make your own. And you still wear dresses EVERY DAY. You just started to fit into the smallest dresses I have from when I was a little girl (that my dad's mother made for me). It makes me super happy to see you in them. You still love pink and purple. Definitely a girly girl.
You love your brother. And are mostly a Mommy's girl. You love reading, water, the iPad, more reading, going to the park, playing with dolls, your play kitchen. You mostly enjoy school. Over the summer you graduated from your old class to Pre-K 3. There was a ceremony and everything. You have gotten into princesses big time. You love watching all the movies over and over. And listening to the stories in my car. And reading about them. And watching the movies. And watching the movies some more. I think your favorite songs are probably the ones from "Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Mermaid." You saw your first movie just within the last month--"Frozen." You did great and made it almost the entire way before needing to potty. With your birthday money, you made your very first purchase--an Elsa dress-up dress. I also took you to see The Nutcracker this year. Did great there, too. I was so excited to be doing something like that with you!
You are an ok eater. You love snacks and sometimes just want to eat those. Favorites are probably gummies, yogurt raisins, cheese, and fruit.
You were done potty training about a third of the way into this year. You eventually moved into underpants at night, too (during the second half of the year). You can successfully wake up, go potty, and put yourself back to bed. It's awesome.
Your sleeping still varies. We have excellent periods and then not-so-good ones. It seems like you usually go to bed without crying but sometimes try to prolong bedtime. Lately, you have been staying in bed all night and even waking up at a reasonable hour. Knock on wood. We shoot for an 8:30 bedtime but it's usually between then and 9. You get up somewhere around 7:15. We moved you to a big girl bed within the last month (a twin bed). You handled it well. This also meant your room got a little mini makeover. I've enjoyed that part but it is bittersweet to see you getting so big.
You are super chatty. You hold full-on conversations. I was reading something the other day that said "your three-year-old may be making 4-word sentences." Um, yeeeaaaah. Four. I can't remember the last time you just said four words in a row. You're so smart. You know your ABCs and can count to who knows what. You get going and then insert "eleventeen" and suddenly you're at 20.
To celebrate your birthday proper, we continued the tradition of going to your grandparents' house for dinner, cake, and presents. You were much happier this year compared to last. Then we had your big party the next day. You wanted a pink party. Just pink. No noun to follow. It was relatively low-key and I think we all had a good time. You kids played well together without a ton of supervision. It was nice.
Overall, you're pretty awesome. You have a ton of empathy. You see how I treat your brother and you treat other people like that when they're hurt or sad. You're mostly well behaved. You did run away from me in Goodwill the other day and we had to have a come to Jesus meetin'. That was the first time you had done that. You do still pitch fits sometimes and sometimes fight with your brother. You're not perfect but I think you're pretty close considering you're three. Crazy. Happy belated birthday, Chicken. Looking forward to the next year.

Acupuncture, an ancient healing art in existence for over 5000 years involves the stimulation of anatomical points on the body using a variety of techniques. The most often used technique involves penetrating the skin with thin needles that are manipulated by either the hands or electrical stimulation. Acupuncture is used to relieve or prevent pain, and to improve overall bodily function, strength, power and immunity.
Myth: Acupuncture is painful.
Fact: Pain is never felt when performed by trained acupuncturists; however, the individual may feel a tiny prick upon insertion of the needle and, in some rare instances, bruising at the point of insertion.
Myth: Conventional physicians don't accept acupuncture.
Fact: More and more conventional physicians are recognizing acupuncture's benefits as a remedy for certain disorders.
Myth: Acupuncture is only good for treating pain.
Fact: It is true that pain responds very well to acupuncture, but the aim of acupuncture is to bring balance and harmony to the whole person so it can be an excellent treatment for insomnia, fatigue, digestive problems, menopause, menstrual disorders, infertility, MS, Lupus, and cancer support.
Myth: Only Chinese or Asians can practice acupuncture.
Fact: The ability to learn and practice anything does not depend upon your racial background. Most U.S. practitioners are not Asian.
Myth: Acupuncture is best performed by a physician.
Fact: Physicians have very limited training in acupuncture and only need 200 hours of training to be a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture. Licensed acupuncturists have several years of training and are therefore the best choice.
Myth: Acupuncture needles are at risk of passing on STDs.
Fact: Acupuncture needles come individually wrapped in sterile packaging. In the U.S. this is a standard practice, so they are not reused and pose no risk of spreading contamination.
Myth: The need for acupuncture does not exist today.
Fact: Acupuncture is widely used today. It often prevents use of cortisone, painkillers, or even surgery. Studies show about 61% of patients treated with acupuncture after being paralyzed by stroke showed great improvement.
Myth: Acupuncture only works if you believe it will.
Fact: While a positive attitude will most likely help you feel better, studies show that acupuncture seems to affect the body's immune reactions, blood pressure regulation, blood flow and temperature, and may aid the activity of endorphins.
Myth: Acupuncturists aren't licensed medical professionals.
Fact: Today, acupuncture is a licensed, regulated profession. To be licensed in most states, acupuncturists must complete a 3 to 4-year graduate program in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and pass national certification exams. Like other professionals, they almost must main their licensure by completing certain requirements.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Normally, it takes about 4-6 treatments to see benefits.
Q: How long is an acupuncture visit?
A: The first visit is usually the longest, lasting from 45 to 60 minutes which encompasses a full health history intake. Follow-ups visits are usually 30 minutes long.
Q: Is acupuncture safe?
A: Yes, your safety is assured in the hands of a trained acupuncturist. Acupuncture needles generally cause no bleeding.
$60.00/session for initial and follow-up visits. Students can pay by cash or check, or charge it to their student account.
Acupuncture will be done by Dr. Guadagno who is a licensed, experienced acupuncturist from the Uptown Wellness Center. Acupuncture services will be offered once or twice a month depending on the response from students. Appointments are required, so please call us at 562.464.4548 to schedule your session.
Prior to your appointment, please make sure you complete an acupuncture intake form.

The history of Irish gangs
The Irish Mob is one of the oldest organized crime groups in the United States, in existence since the early 19th century. Originating in Irish American street gangs of the 19th century
- Irish gangs date at least to the mid-19th century when street gangs waged battles for control of New York City neighborhoods with colorful names like Dead Rabbits and 40 Thieves. A new kind of Irish gangster emerged during Prohibition in the 1920s when rival organizations fought for bootlegging and gambling operations.
New Threat
Irish gangs conducted criminal operations unrivaled for most of the 19th century until the 1880s when Italian immigrants began to arrive and established the Black Hand and later the Costa Nostra.
Jewish and Italian mobsters encroached on Irish bootlegging, dog racing and gambling operations in Chicago, leading to a bloody war that fostered the modern gangster.
Italian mobster Al Capone planned the St. Valentine's Day Massacre on Feb. 14, 1929, in which six members of Bugs Moran's Irish gang and a bystander were killed in a dispute.
The gangs:
- Dead Rabbits 1850 New York
- The Whyos 1860-1890 New York
- Five Points Gang
- The Gopher Gang, 1890s-1910s
- The Westies, 1968-1986
- The Roach Guards
- The Patsy Conroy Gang
- 19th Street Gang, during the 1870s and 1880s
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_Thieves_(New_York_gang) 40 Thieves], formed in the early 1820s, and by 1850 the gang had dissolved with its members joining larger gangs or leaving on their own. The juvenile Little Forty Thieves, an apprentice gang of the original Forty Thieves, would outlast their mentors, continuing to commit illegal activities throughout the 1850s before eventually joining the later street gangs following the American Civil War in 1865.
- Boodle Gang, 1850s-1890s
- Bowe Brothers, 1840-1860
- Dead Rabbits, the 1850s, and originally were a part of the Roach Guards.
- The Ducky Boys, 1950s and 1960s
- Grady Gang, sneak thief gang during the 1860s.
- Hudson Dusters, Formed in the late 1890s
- Kerryonians existed in New York about 1825, one of the earliest organized crime gangs. The members headquarted on Center Street (now Worth St.) at Rosanna Peer Grocery Store. The Kerryonians spent most of thier time mugging and beating up English.
- Marginals, also called the "Paddy Irish" gang, was a New York street gang during the early 1900s.
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potashes_(gang) Potashes], active in Greenwich Village and the New York waterfront during the early-to mid 1890s.
- Rhodes Gang, 1890s–1910s
- Swamp Angels, dominated the dockyards of New York Harbor from the 1850s into the post-Civil War era. Until eventually they merged with the rival waterfront gangs into the White Hand Gang at the end of the century.
- White Hand Gang, was a collection of various Irish American gangs on the New York, Brooklyn, and Red Hook waterfronts from the early 1900s to 1925 who organized against the growing influence of Italian gangsters.
- Yakey Yakes, a 19th century street gang, prominent in New York's underworld during the late 1890s and early 1900s. Based in the neighborhood of Catherine and Madison Streets
- Plug Uglies
Gang leaders and members:
- James McLean
- Eddie McGrath
- Mickey Featherstone
- Bugs Moran
- Mickey Spillane
- Patsy Conroy or Conway 1846--
- Denny Brady.

Using my pocket knife, I dug up some seeds to see how deep my planter was planting, and how well it was being packed into the soil. This seed was about one and a half inches below the surface, and in good moisture. We should get a good stand with this kind of seed-soil contact.

by David Fleitz
July 27, 2010
It has always seemed to me that pitchers throw no-hitters more often in the earlier and later parts of a season, and less often in the middle of the season.
So many of the no-hitters that stand out in my mind - Sandy Koufax's perfect game in 1965, Jack Morris' gem that set the tone for the 1984 Tigers, Bob Feller's no-hitter on opening day 1940 - occurred either early or late in the year, rarely in the middle. So did Addie Joss' perfect game on October 2, 1908. So did Mike Witt's gem on the last day of the 1984 season, and Mike Scott's division-clincher for the Astros in 1986, and Allie Reynolds' pennant-clincher in 1951 ...
Does it just seem that way, or is it really so? Maybe these no-hitters stick in our minds because we pay more attention to the beginnings and the ends of the seasons, and pay less attention in the middle.
Anyway, I had some time on my hands, so I went to Wikipedia and found a list of all single-pitcher no-hitters since 1900 and counted them up by month. They listed 216 no-hitters, broken down as follows:
April 31 May 39 June 34 July 29 August 29 September 51 October 3
The three gems in October were pitched by Joss in 1908, Bill Stoneman in 1972, and Don Larsen in the 1956 World Series.
It is clear that there are significantly more no-hitters thrown in September, so at least part of the assumption I stated earlier is true. Also, the April number is misleading. Far fewer games are played in April, and for most of the century a season didn't begin until April 15 or thereabouts. Bob Feller's opening-day no-hitter in 1940 was pitched on April 16, for example. So April's total represents barely half a month.
I noticed something else in going down the list. Most of the May no-hitters came early in the month, and most of August's occur late in the month. In August, only eight of the 30 no-hitters came on or before August 15, and only six of May's 34 occurred after May 15.
So, let's divide the season into four parts instead of six:
April 1 to May 15 62 no-hitters May 16 to June 30 42 July 1 to August 15 38 August 16 to September 30 71 (not counting the 3 in October)
So, no-hitters are clustered early and late in the season. But why?
A few suggestions:
The weather. April and September are cool months; June and July are hot ones. It's easier to hit when it's hot, partially because the ball is livelier in hot weather and partially because it's easier for batters to get their muscles loose when it's hot. I'm a Tiger fan, and I spent several years watching Cecil Fielder struggle in April and early May, waiting for the weather to warm up.
The batters. More players now come from warm-weather climates than ever before. Young players from California or the South, aiming to make the majors, have an advantage over players from Minnesota or Wisconsin, because they can play ball for more months of the year. However, put those warm-weather guys in New York or Cleveland on a cold April day and see how well they hit. I haven't even mentioned Latin-American players, who make up 25% of the majors right now.
The teams. In April, managers are still tinkering with lineups, trying different things, experimenting. A pitcher in his groove can no-hit a team that isn't settled yet. In September, managers of teams that have dropped out of the race are playing their minor-league call-ups, and unsettling their teams all over again. Also, some teams have thrown in the towel by September 1 or so, and they're just playing out the string.
The pitchers. I think that pitchers come out of spring training far ahead of the batters. I also think that batters tire out toward the end of the season. I can't prove it, but this no-hitter data certainly lends some credence to the argument.
In looking at the list, I noticed a few trends:
1. Almost all pitchers who throw no-hitters are much better than average pitchers. Look down the list of recent no-hitters; you'll see Randy Johnson, Roy Halladay, and Mark Buehrle. Go back a few years and you'll see Jack Morris, Fernando Valenzuela, Pedro Martinez, and others. Aside from the occasional Bobo Holloman, with a 3-7 lifetime mark, almost all no-hit pitchers are stars. Most of the pitchers in the Hall of Fame have thrown at least one.
2. Most no-hitters are thrown by power pitchers. Nolan Ryan threw seven no-hitters, Sandy Koufax four, Bob Feller and Cy Young three apiece. All of them were extreme power pitchers, especially the first three. On the other hand, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux have good, but not exceptional, fastballs. They don't blow anybody away, and it's no surprise that neither man has thrown a no-hitter yet. It is a surprise, though, that Roger Clemens hasn't thrown one.
3. Most pitchers throw their no-hitters at home. Nearly two-thirds of all no-hitters are pitched by the home team.
4. Many, but by no means all, no-hitters are thrown against bad teams. Casey Stengel's Mets, perhaps the worst team of the 20th century, suffered two devastating no-hitters. On June 30, 1962, Sandy Koufax struck out the side on nine pitches in the first inning on his way to a 5-0 no-hitter. Two years later, Jim Bunning blew the Mets away with a perfect game, the first one thrown in the National League in 84 years.
Not all no-hit victims are bad teams. The 1958 Yankees and 1969 Mets were no-hit (by Hoyt Wilhelm and Bob Moose) in the last two weeks of the season. The 1917 White Sox endured two no-hitters in two days! All three of these teams went on to win the World Series. However, it appears that most teams that suffer no-hitters are either bad, injury-riddled, or mired in a mass batting slump.
So, in conclusion, if a star power pitcher faces a struggling team, at home, especially in the earliest or latest part of the season, he might be in line to pitch a no-hitter. I've watched a few on television, but someday I hope to see one in person.

Q. Just how tough were the conditions out there today?
Q. How important is it in conditions like that to monitor what your opponent is doing and how his body language is? How did you find his body language in the fifth set?
Yeah, I think throughout the fourth set I felt like he was struggling a little bit. He wasn't reacting quite as well. Then in the start of the fifth set he came out sort of with all guns blazing.
Played a great game to break me the first game of the fifth. He sort of went for it. He could have easily made four errors and gave me that first game, so...
Q. You must be happy with your fitness to be able to sustain it for 4 hours and 18 minutes?
But, yeah, there was only one or two points in it in the end.
Q. Where does this rank in terms of your tough losses?
Q. What turned it around in that third set after being two sets down?
He served pretty well for the most part, for a guy that doesn't have the biggest serve out there. He hits his spots pretty well. But, you know, I was able to just sort of hang in there in the third set and somehow able to turn it around.
I was down an early break in the third, fourth, and fifth set.
Q. You're out there on the court, the match is on your racquet, but the fanatics are up in the stands chanting. Do you hear them? Does that boost you?
Q. Do you actually hear their chants?
Q. You're down to play doubles on Hisense tomorrow.
Q. Still going ahead with it?
Q. Have you talked to Pat about it?
Q. At this stage you'll play?
Q. If you and Patrick teamed up with the other players and the legends that they're associated with, like Murray and Lendl, Roger and Edberg, Djokovic and Becker, how do you think that would come out?
Q. Yeah.
Q. Tonight you equaled the record for the most five set matches in the Open era. Equaled Andre Agassi with 41. Must get sick of putting your body through constant grueling, five set matches.
You know, ended up one point from coming back from two sets.

Hello, everyone once again. I come to you this week fresh off my latest therapy session with Dr. Stevie. He is really upset with me as of late because of my insatiable appetite for using weapons during my matches. Last week he even got physical with me and slapped me around. He apologized to me and said he only wants me to be the best person I can be. I know this Thursday on iMPACT at 9pm on Spike, my girlfriend Lauren is really upset at Dr. Stevie for doing this to me. She says she wants to speak with him regarding his abuse of me on national TV. I'm so confused, I don't want my girl mad at me but I do not want Dr. Stevie being upset with me either.
Speaking of iMPACT, this Thursday's edition should be quite a show, as we prepare for LOCKDOWN on April 19th, from Philadelphia, PA on pay per view. What a lineup for this pay per view, huh? I mean Sting vs. Mick Foley for the TNA World Heavyweight Title... wow what a main event that is going to be. The lethal Lockdown match is set, except for the Frontline's fourth partner. Who is it going to be??? Wow I'm so excited to find out. I wonder if we will find out this Thursday or not. It's rumored to be a former TNA champion, but who?? I've tried to find out on my own, but Dr. Stevie says I need to worry about myself and less about what others think and are doing. Regardless of who it is, The Lethal Lockdown match, as well as the entire card at LOCKDOWN is going to be off the charts, I think.
That brings me to Matt Morgan. Matt, I haven't forgotten about you in the least bit. As a matter of fact, I've built a shrine to you in my therapy room at the institution. I've got your picture hanging up right next to Lauren's. I always like to see Lauren's picture, especially the ones from her recent photo shoot on TNAWRESTLING.COM. But I have your picture up too, Matt. You see, I think about you all day and night because at LOCKDOWN, I'm going to get my retribution on you for everything you've done to me. I'm going to make you bleed and bleed and bleed and bleed some more. And once I've made you bleed, then I'll be free to blackhole slam you in the middle of the ring and beat you 1, 2, 3. I'm so excited I can barely stand it.
