OMG just tell me! (Terrible!)

My brother Jon and I have a psychic connection through the ether. No, really!
Magic has been on our minds lately, what with a recent visit to the strange and moody Houdini exhibit at the Jewish Museum in New York, as well as some lively discussions about The Amazing Randi and his longstanding million dollar prize waiting for somebody, anybody, to prove something paranormal.
So when Jon and I brought up our thrilling psychic skills at the Thanksgiving table, we were met with a wall of skepticism. It was a steep, thick wall constructed mainly out of eyerolling and "Yeah, right's" from the children's table. Jon and I were undaunted.
We set up some cards as shown and the kids gathered around. As Jon turned his back to the table, we demanded quiet to clear and stabilize our ether channel. ("Come on, Mom, stop with the ether baloney!") Then one of the kids selected a card by silently pointing to it. I said, "OK, ready, Jon?" and proceeded to call out some cards one by one. At each one, Jon said, "No, that's not it." At the fifth card, which was the card, Jon said, calm as Xanax, "Yes."
The kids exploded. "Oh, come on, that's so easy!" they crowed, yelling out how they thought we did it. And so began the Great Hypothesis Testing of 2010.
Hypothesis 1: It's always the fifth card.
Test: My niece silently pointed to a card and whispered in my ear, "Make it the second card you say." I dutifully called out another card first, and the card second. Jon got it. No matter how many cards she told me to say first, our psychic connection prevailed.
Hypothesis 2: Jon can see a reflection of me in the window pane and I'm blinking a certain number of times.
Test: Jon moved his chair far away from the window, still with his back to me. We were still psychic.
By now the adults were gathered around with their drinks. There was some shuffling of feet, a few cracks about our mental stability. Then: "Wait. How are they doing that?"
"It's the ether channel!" we cry, palms and eyebrows raised.
Hypothesis 3: It has something to do with the way I'm saying the cards. I'm taking a long pause before saying the card.
Test: Instead of me naming cards one after the other, my son named the cards I pointed to, using whatever pauses he liked. Jon still got it right.
Hypothesis 4: If we switch places, we'll get totally screwed up, dudes.
Test: We switched places. We did not get totally screwed up, dudes.
My niece was the first to crack. "Just TELL us! How do you do it?" A few grownups took up her cause: "Come on now, how do you do it?" And so we told them — we'd been telling them all along — it's the ether, dammit. A generalized crazy began to set in.
Hypothesis 5: If we're on the same ether channel, then like TV channels, we should both know the channel number.
Test: Jon whispered the ether channel number into my son's ear and then I did. It was the same channel number. There was general mocking of this test, since Jon and I must have simply agreed on a channel number beforehand, being the slick snake-oil salesmen that we are.
Hypothesis 6: It has something to do with the numbers or suits of the cards I say leading up to the card.
Test: We ran it through a few times using only suits. Then only numbers. Our psychic connection was unharmed.
At this point we had to break it up for various hysteria- and dessert-related reasons. The kids were clinging to us, begging "Tell us! Tell us now!" Trying to keep afloat above their grasping hands, I cried "If we tell you then you won't have the pleasure of figuring it out! It's the thrill of the chase!" This line of argument was not, shall we say, highly popular.
So yesterday I cracked under the pressure and told the kids the trick. I suppose that's a fail for the critical thinking lesson. But hey, today they're driving their schoolmates insane, so maybe one of them will figure it out.
P.S. Anybody want to venture a guess how we do it? There's a big clue in this post.
Kate, if the commenters can figure it out, you're going to tell us, right? RIGHT? Going bonkers myself.
The number of syllables in the "ready" statement tells which card it is?
That's my guess, Amy.
Greg W
That's most of the right answer.
The number of syllables in the "ready" phrase gives the ordinal number of the correct card.
"ready" means the correct card with be the 2nd card mentioned.
"OK Jon" -> 3rd card
"OK Ready Jon" -> 5th card. (this was the hint)
Recall that in Hyp 3 she pointed to the cards while her son said the name. She still controlled the order of the cards.
Hyp 5 is easy once you have the pattern of communicating a number through the number of syllables in a phrase.
Randy S.
So they planned ahead with different phrases, up to 12 syllables in length? Seems it would become obvious pretty fast.
"Ok, Jon, here we go. I'm going to start now."
Greg W
Nope. You forget that the person saying the phrases controls the order of questioning which card is the correct one. They really only need phrases up to 7 or 8 to give enough variety so it isn't obvious.
Re-read Hyp #3. She pointed to the cards while her son read them aloud.
Randy S.
Except for the part where someone whispers to her. What if she whispered "Make it the 12th one"?
Don't read this if you don't want to know my suggestion for a solution.
I don't know the answer, but I think maybe that the last person to speak tells the number of syllables? So it is inspired by haiku? "ready"->2 "ok, ready?"->4 "ready jon?" -> 3
You hold the deck of cards, with your finger/thumb placed on the location of the selected card as they are placed on the table. Your partner just looks at your finger placement and knows exactly which card it is.
You just said the suit and number when it wasn't "the" card, and said "the suit number" when it was "the" card? That is what I get from the italicized the.
Cell phones have lots of methods of secret contact between texting and vibration modes
Saying "the" in the sentence for the correct card?
Did you have a length of thread connecting you, perhaps toe to toe? You could subtly tug the thread to signal when THE card is said.
In "The Great Brain" books, they did a similar trick. They just switched what words they used in the question. In that case the assistant picked someone in the audience to hold up their object. They had memorized code words to use for the most popular things to be found in pockets. "CAN you tell me…" would be a watch. The word "guess" would be a handkerchief. And so on… The assistant would simply not choose anyone holding up something that they didn't have a code word for.
So, like the other commentators were saying above, almost ANYTHING in the way the assistant spoke could have been the signal. Timing, breathing, code words, stressing a syllable, etc… Here, you must already know the card before the pointing started.
You are always the one touching the card when the question is asked. So it is where you touch the card that conveys the information.
My guess: If you touch the upper left hand corner of the 1st card, the "correct" card is in row 1 column 1. If you touch the middle of the 1st card instead, the correct card is in row 2 column 2. etc.
ether+channel number = radio, as in walkie talkie
my bet is walkie talkies or phones with handsfree sets.
earpiece concealed around neck and mic by hands, then just tap the mic for the number or location of the card and the accomplice can just about hear the tapping with no need for the earpice in their ear to give the game away.
It can't be a verbal cue, or the system would have broken when she had her son call out the cards. It's definitely the ether!
Upon further consideration, of course, her son could have been a shill all along. Just a possibility.
As others have pointed out, it is you map where the card is by how you point (or some other means). Had this done to me by my grandfather and dad when I was a child. I later did it to my kids. For us there was one card on the table that is layout matched the layout of the cards, thus tapping one of the suits on that card was the map to the full table of where the card was.
If the first card called out is 5 then the its the 5 card called out etc?
I've seen some slick tricks, and this is the most likely for this psych(ot)ic trick.
It doesn't matter who's calling out the numbers if you're directing them.
The mind-reader could even throw in a "wait, go back to that last one…" just to add suspense.
And for giving the channel-number, you just use whatever the last set-up was. ie, if the fifth card is THE card, channel=5.
If this ain't it, I'll eat my hat
:Not that I'm wearing a hat.:
This would break down, though, under the testing for Hypothesis 1 above. If her niece whispered, say, "Make it the third card" and there was no 3 on the table, then the system crashes. But she says they continued the trick no matter her niece whispered.
I've played this game before, but with pennies. The one person who can see which penny is picked also has a drink with them and a napkin. When they select a penny, they simply set their drink down on the napkin at the same location relative to the penny they picked. So if they pick the upper right penny, they set their drink down on the upper right edge of the napkin. then when the other person turns around, they just look at where the drink is placed.
A lot of these theories are shot down by hypothesis 5 above.
Yea I think hypothesis 5 has to be addressed. It seems they both had a number in mind for the 'channel' number beforehand. Not that it was a channel number but that it was a common number they were using to run the game. Was there some application of this number to defining which card was picked? For example if they decided on 5 did they simply use the 5 card as the card to offer up just before offering the real card that was picked by the kids?
I have no idea HOW you're doing it, but I wanted to add that I don't think telling them would break down the critical thinking exercise. They are able to know that, just because the logical answer isn't obvious doesn't mean there isn't one. Just because neither adults nor kids could explain it, doesn't mean it's not hooey. You reinforced that by eventually giving them the answer they couldn't find.
Seems to me that the time you take to 'stabilize' the ether channel could be a fixed number of seconds depending on the card. 1 second for ace, 2 seconds for a deuce, etc. Your brother simply counts the seconds between the time between the child's choice and the time you say 'ready'.
Rick Murch-Shafer
With the Hypothesis 1 test you state "No matter how many cards she told me to say first, our psychic connection prevailed." So I'm guessing you never said the correct card first and thus could have an indicator card always just before the correct one. Since having the same indicator card each time would give it away and you couldn't be sure it was always there, you used a pattern for the key card. For instance maybe the plan was that you would always say a black suited odd numbered card before the correct card. Or a red suited multiple of 3 numbered card just before the correct one.
The indicator card method is not valid here, since in one of the hypotheses the child was the one listing the cards to the 'medium'. The child couldn't have known what the indicator card was, and therefore could not signal the medium.
Rick Murch-Shafer
Actually the child just said the cards; the adult still picked the order. So the adult could still pick the trigger card pattern just before the card.
Two quick questions for the author:
1) Does the trick work if you call out /the/ card first?
2) Does Jon get to look at the layout before turning his back every time 12 new cards are drawn?
It's the syllables. The huge clue is "I said, "OK, ready, Jon?" and proceeded to call out some cards one by one. At each one, Jon said, "No, that's not it." At the fifth card, which was the card, Jon said, calm as Xanax, "Yes.""
Of course! It was your mom that was passing the message along. No one really knows how she got the nickname became ether, or if they do they aren't telling, but boy is she good at magic tricks.
Well it was "ether" her or someone else!
Rick Murch-Shafer
Questions for Kate.
Did you use the same 12 cards each time? Where they laid on the table the same way each time? Your post says "We set up some cards AS SHOWN…", but the caption on the image says "random cards". I can't help noticing there is a symmetry to the color of the cards however in the way they are in that image.
Jarvis Stubblefield
This is excellent. I'm still trying to figure it out, and coming up with nothing that would go through the series of hypothesis. I would go for a simple mathematics solution, but I can't come up with one that makes it through your hypothesises.
Patiently awaiting enlightenment, or me to figure it out
Thanks for this wonderful brain teaser!
Randy S.
Clock on the wall with a second hand? When you start asking, wherever the second hand is pointed is the card. Not sure how the whisper part worked if you had to wait 45 seconds after she whispered to you before you began. This theory fits the fact that there are 12 cards on the table.
Maybe it is ether – perhaps you could be a witch.
But like ducks and wood, you would have to float…
Do you float?
I'm guessing there was some other audible clue since you required quiet to "stabilize the ether" Maybe a creaking chair or some other not noticable sound.
Randy S.
This would also fit my clock hypothesis, in that they needed time for the second hand to come around to the proposed number.
I guarantee it has something to do with the phrase "OK, Ready Jon?".
That's such a random detail that she put in this story.
I think it's the syllable thing. 5 syllables = the 5th card.
Rick Murch-Shafer
You may be right, but it would help if we knew what she said before each time they did the trick. Since she just told us that one time what she said it's hard to figure out if that is it.
She probably didn't tell us what she said every time because that would have made the solution way to obvious to all of us and where would be the fun in that?
And I couldn't help wondering what the heck she'd have said instead of "OK, ready, Jon?" if her niece whispered something like "Make it the 12th card you say"! LOL! "OK, Jon, are you really sure that you're ready"? Meanwhile poor Jon is over there counting syllables on his fingers and trying to be inconspicuous.
Good point about the 12th card.
Maybe there was a keyword that was used to indicate to double the number. So then she would only have to have 6 phrases with the biggest being 6 syllables long.
So if the keyword was said and then a phrase was said that had 4 syllables in it then Jon knew it was the 8th card.
I think the two keys to this trick are the ready phrase and control over the number of cards that are pointed at.
Having more examples of the ready phrase would isolate if it's a straight mapping or encoded. I'd think people would catch on to a syllable count if the test were repeated enough but maybe not.
The suit and card values are not encoded since the trick worked even when restricting the card name called out to only value or suit so the magic must be in the number of cards called and method to communicate that number.
Jarvis Stubblefield
Guys one thing you are totally missing is she did the SUIT of the cards which is just a WORD, and not a number. So I can't wait to see what the answer is. I can't seem to get it. I'm sure I may have a DOH! moment when she tells us.
What If….. The control is the syllables, five in this case and then you use the sum of the last card and current card as the number. You would make Aces 1, Face cards, 0. Then as calling out numbers, you would just be adding the last two together to see if they equal the control number 5.
Jarvis Stubblefield
How would that work with suits?
I cannot get my head around how the suits only scenario was played so I do not feel like it was that important in the trick…That is the best I can do to so that I do not go crazy at work trying to figure this out!
I think perhaps you're both seeing too much complication in the syllables concept. I don't personally think that's the answer, but here's how I understand the theory:
She says "Ok, Jon, ready?" That phrase has 5 syllables. That means, "Jon say yes to the 5th card I call out". No need for card numbers or card suits at all. Just count syllables and cards. It's a good idea, but could be unreasonably hard on Jon if the syllable count goes high.
Jarvis Stubblefield
Yea she said it didn't matter how many cards. In my first post, I had thought it might be some sort of math trick, and still "kinda" hold to that, but the suits do throw me off.
Yes, this is my thought, that the transmitted element is "Say yes to the N'th card". The question is how to transmit that value since as people have pointed out, larger values of N get more complicated so I suspect an encoding vs. a simple count of syllables. This could also be a binary encoding such that the sentence "OK, Ready Jon?" maps to 101 == 5. Just not sure how to establish the mapping.
Jarvis Stubblefield
Dying to know and I gotta go home soon! I'll definitely have to check in from there!!! Don't forget about us!!
the greater dalmuti
My Aunt had a spin on this that was a little variation that provided much more robust randomness. One of us would leave the room and allow the group to specify an object in the room to be "transmitted" to the other. Upon returning the room would be quiet, mostly, and we would enter into a negotiation. When one of the audience would make a distinct noise (cough, laugh, comment, etc.) the person who stayed in the room would ask an ok question. This implicitly marked the person who made the noise as the key. If the person who had left agreed on the key they would claim to be ready, otherwise they would pass and the negotiations would continue. The person who stayed in the room would then proceed to ask questions about random objects. The question immediately before the correct object would include the name of the key person. "Is it Fred's sweather?" for example. This indicated that the next question would identify the object of interest. Worked like a charm and was never (to my knowledge) broken.
Wow, love your name. The Greater Dalmuti! Who's the Lesser Dalmuti? What an awesome card game. Wizard put it out right?
Sorry, not on topic at all! Just love the card game by that name and have no idea the answer to the riddle!!! Funny listening to all the answers. Nicely done
arrrr…going home. Please free us
Ken O'Brien
Brilliant, Kate! I'm loving this and intend to use it at the next family gathering! My standard card tricks are old and tired.
Until Kate spilled the beans, here's what I thought the trick was:
The hint was the channel number. Agreed upon anytime in the past.
Let's say channel 4.
Whatever card Kate calls out first, divide the ordinal number of that card (Ace is 1, King is 13, etc) by 4. Then take the remainder. The remainder indicates how many more cards are going to be called out before the correct one.
This works for suits as well, if you assign them ordinal numbers (Spade = 1, Hearts 2, etc).
This way, Kate doesn't ever have to say a thing prior to calling out cards. And Jon need only know the remainders of dividing the numbers 1-13 by 4 (which I hope is less challenging than counting 7+ syllable phrases).
This means you will always guess within the first 5 tries. If you want more, just raise the channel number. This also means that the very first card called out is never the correct card, but the original post says "No matter how many cards she told me to say first…", which I interpreted to mean she always called out another card first.
If for some reason she must call out a card that is NOT the correct card, but which is less than 4 (Ace, two or three), it's easy to figure on a plan B: just use the ordinal value of the card called out as the indicator of how many more guesses are coming before the correct one.
An addendum to my post above:
As an added dimension, ask a spectator to pick the channel and to tell each of you separately.
Give that person some guidelines – say, any number between 3 and 9.
The game will worked as described above.
If the spectator is a wise-arse and gives a different channel number to each of you, you're communication won't work, and you can expose the wise-arse's ruse; then really freak everyone out when it works as planned once you are both on the same channel.

The Ins And Outs Of The Game Of Soccer
- Filed under Arrange
You can break apart tight defenses by triangulating. Playing as a team is very important, including lots of passing to confuse your opponents. To get through tight fields, work on effective passes and a team effort that is combined. Be ready to assist a teammate who is trying to cause confusion among the opponents.
Cross train multiple types of exercise. Playing soccer will only develop certain muscle groups. It is important that you train all of them, and working on other skills can transfer over into soccer. For example, taking a dance class can help your footwork on the field and taking track can improve your speed. Always have a plan for what you will do with the ball when it is passed to you. Anticipate the best move, whether it is a short or long pass, or a shot at the goal. Do not be obvious about the moves you will make. The element of surprise is important to keeping the ball protected.
Good soccer uniforms are part of any successful team. When choosing soccer uniforms, look for one made of quality materials. Soccer is a contact sport, so you should look for jerseys that will withstand the constant abuse. Always think in terms of what will last along with the comfort level of your players. If your child is a player on a soccer team, stress to them that the most important part of the game is having fun. If you tell them that is is necessary for them to win all of the time, it will put unnecessary pressure on them, and this may have a negative impact on their performance. Soccer is an extremely fun sport if you are knowledgeable about it. Do not let this sport intimidate you any longer. Use the excellent advice provided to you so that you can become a soccer pro and have fun playing this game. Get your friends and family on board so that everyone can have fun with soccer. The most important thing to remember when playing soccer is to always take the shot if you see the goal. You are guaranteed to fail if you dont try, so always give yourself a chance to make a goal by at least kicking the ball. The more shots you take, the higher your chances are of making it in. The point of a soccer game is for your team to score the highest amount of goals. This may seem very easy, but there will be people trying to stop your ball from reaching the goal. This is not a game that you can play alone since it requires a team effort.
Talk with your teammates during a game. Nothing is worse than miscommunicating a play to your team that results in the other team getting the ball. If you are concerned that the other team may find out what play you will be using, set up code names for your different plays. When teaching your kids how to play soccer, make sure they learn how to dribble. Many learn by simply kicking the ball ahead and chasing after it, but this doesnt provide any control and allow the opponent to steal it. Have them run slow and use different parts of their feet to maintain the ball in front of them. Teach them to stop it on one spot with a gentle tap down on the top of the ball when dribbling to set it up for a pass.
Always look for an easy pass you can make to a player who is open. Do not try passing the ball to the best player on the team if they are not in a good position. Do not hesitate to make a pass to an inexperienced player if they are wide open. When trying out for soccer, be very vocal with the coach. If he asks you to play a certain position and you cannot do it very well, be honest and let him know. if he insists that you play it, try your best and do it so you dont seem argumentative. Know when to use the instep shot. This is one very powerful and important shot. However, it is very often overused. It is easy to miss your chance of scoring a goal by choosing power when accuracy is needed, making another shot a better choice. The instep shot lets you use your power but is not always the best choice.
When practicing soccer, always try to practice with players who are more skilled than you are. This will help you to gain experience, while challenging yourself to play better. Older players can also help to guide you, and give you tips that they have learned over the years to help strengthen your game.

Hands-On Review:DigiTech RP55, RP155, RP255, and RP355 Multi-Effects Processors
The RP family expands with more firepower and more control
By Ara Ajizian
Musician's Friend Staff Writer
Since their introduction in 2006, DigiTech's RP Series multi-effects processors have established themselves as leaders in the field with realistic models of amps, cabinets, and effects; intuitive programmability; and realtime control. At this year's Winter NAMM show, DigiTech unveiled a number of new RP units, completely revamping the line. Not long ago I reviewed the reigning king of the series, the RP1000, which incorporates an advanced switching system and really is a beast unto itself. For this review, I evaluated its newest siblings—the RP55, RP155, RP255, and RP355.
A quest for tone
Every musician has to start somewhere. Typically, it's with a less expensive guitar and amplifier setup. I know in my own experience, finding my sound didn't come until I had spent many hours honing my technique. After all, what's the point of playing through a $1,500 tube amp if you really can't play that well? With the inexpensive, fully functional RP55, it's easy to work on your chops and explore different tones at the same time.
With its small footprint and simple, intuitive controls, it's perfect for bedroom practice, and for those who have yet to settle on their first real amp or effects setup. With its 11 amp, 5 cabinet, and 20 effects models, you can easily experiment with different setups to find your sound. Among its 11 amp models are vintage tube favorites as well as modern, high-gain staples. Combine any of them with the five different cabinets and get the feel for what a 2x12" combo sounds like compared to a 4x12" half stack. With its AudioDNA DSP chip, the RP55's models give you a great reference point when it comes time to buy your first amp or upgrade from a practice amp.
On the effects front, it's loaded with 20 studio-quality models based on DigiTech favorites like their flanger, chorus, phaser, tremolo, three different delays, and six reverbs. Plug in an expression pedal and take full advantage of the Dunlop Crybaby model, or get your Tom Morello on with the DigiTech Whammy. With the ability to run eight effects at once, it's easy to dial up tons of great tones, no matter what style of music you're into playing.
Another fantastic feature of the RP55, especially considering its sub-$50 price point, is the built-in drum machine. We've all known players who spend countless hours practicing in their room, only to find it awkward when it comes time to play with other musicians—particularly drummers. Jamming along with the RP55's numerous beats will make your practices much more productive.
Sibling rivalry
The three bigger brothers to the RP55—the RP155, RP255, and RP355—share a number of features but get more robust in different ways as you move up the line. All three make use of DigiTech's 24-bit AudioDNA2 DSP processor for state-of-the-art, incredibly accurate modeling of amps, cabs, and effects. USB connectivity allows you to easily record to your DAW software (or the included Cubase LE4), as well as edit patches using the free, downloadable X-Edit software for your PC or Mac. X-Edit is a simple, intuitive alternative to programming and saving patches via the units themselves, particularly for visual types like me. Each unit also comes with 30 tone and 30 effects libraries for instantly calling up entire high-quality rigs with ease.
The RP155, RP255, and RP355 also include a 20-second looper, a powerful addition that can really expand your creativity when it comes to writing. I've always done my best songwriting in group situations as opposed to being alone, but found with the looper, drum machine, and USB connection I had plenty of tools at my disposal to turn the ideas in my head into concrete, fleshed-out tunes that I could present to the band.
Different strokes
One difference among the RP155, RP255, and RP355 is in the number of models each contains (see Features & Specs). Additionally, the RP255 and RP355 incorporate an expression pedal for controlling not just effects, but virtually any parameter you choose. Both also provide an 1/8" stereo input for connecting an external device to play along with. This is great if you're trying to learn a particular song or part and need a convenient way to hear it as you jam.
The RP355 has some extras that make it even more powerful for both recording and live performances. Balanced XLR line outs ensure you're ready for any situation a sound man can throw at you, while the Stompbox Footswitch mode gives you the convenience of turning distortion, chorus, and delay effects on or off with the tap of your toe, just as you would with a stompbox. With the most I/O, models, and control of all the new RP units, the RP355 is clearly the choice for the gigging, pro-level guitarist who needs an easily accessible universe of tone.
Keep it in the family
DigiTech's commitment to players of all skill levels is evident in these new RP units. Whether you're just starting out and need access to powerful practice tools and high-quality tones, are an intermediate player looking to find new sounds and hone your songwriting skills, or are making a living on the club circuit, there's an RP for you. Thanks to features like a built-in drum machine; AudioDNA or AudioDNA2 DSP processing; and of course the myriad amp, cabinet, and effects models that each possesses, the RP Series has the power you need to take your music higher.

Hospitality Properties Trust Management Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Average daily rate growth for our 290 hotels was 5.9% in the first quarter of 2012, an increase in each portfolio and for 14 of our 15 brands this quarter, compared to last year as our operators continued to manage guest mix and pushed rate during peak travel periods. Despite an unsteady macroeconomic environment and excluding renovation hotels, we have continued -- we have seen continued occupancy rate and RevPAR improvement in 2012 as we did in 2011, and we continue to press our managers to focus on revenue management and cost control. Our managers' 2012 RevPAR forecast for our hotels are in the range of 5% to 8%.
There is optimism about the ongoing lodging recovery as a result of constrained supply growth, continued steady demand and increases in average daily rate in GOP margins. Although modest economic growth continues to create uncertainty about the sustainability of this recovery, we continue to see steady growth and a greater share of that growth from rate than occupancy, which helps margins.
Our planned 2012 and 2013 capital program is extensive, with approximately 200 hotels expected to be renovated during that period. Our 2012 and 2013 results are likely to continue to be choppy due to these renovations and the timing of hotel brand conversions. We are pleased with the operating performance of the 36 hotels that completed renovations in 2011, with RevPAR up 14.3% and GOP margin up 580 basis points at these hotels in the first quarter of 2012 versus 2011.

Egypt Islamists say charter passed in referendum
Muslim Brotherhood claim victory but opponents allege fraud
- Image Credit: REUTERS
- Officials count ballots after polls closed in Bani Sweif, about 115 km (71 miles) south of Cairo December 22, 2012. Early indications showed Egyptians approved an Islamist-drafted constitution after Saturday's final round of voting in a referendum despite opposition criticism of the measure as divisive.
Cairo: A majority of Egyptians have backed a controversial charter in a two-round referendum, ruling Islamists and official media said on Sunday, as the secular-leaning opposition alleged fraud and considered its next move.
The Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Mohammad Mursi hails, and the official Al Ahram newspaper reported that about 64 per cent of voters supported the constitution, after preliminary results were tallied from the second round on Saturday.
Turnout over both rounds was around 32 per cent, according to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The early results are based on reports from returning officials from the vast majority of stations over the two rounds, which were held a week apart. The election committee will announce the final results within two days.
"The Egyptian people continue their march towards finalising the construction of a democratic modern state, after turning the page on oppression," the Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, said in a statement.
The main opposition group, the National Salvation Front, said on Saturday that it observed fraud over the two rounds of voting and are have scheduled a press conference forb Sunday at around 1100 GMT (3pm UAE).
The Front had tried to scupper the poll with mass rallies before a last-minute campaign to vote down the charter in the referendum, which will be followed by elections for a new parliament in two months.
In Washington, Republican representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called the vote "a defeat for the Egyptian people".
"We cannot celebrate the trade of an authoritative regime for an Islamic dictatorship," she said in a statement issued ahead of the announcement of any results.
On the eve of Saturday's polling, clashes in Egypt's second city Alexandria injured 62 people as stone-throwing mobs torched vehicles, underlining the deepening fractures in the Arab world's most populous nation.
Eight people were killed and hundreds more injured in clashes between rival demonstrators on December 5 outside Mursi's presidential palace in Cairo, in scenes not witnessed since the uprising that overthrew president Husni Mubarak in early 2011.
Some 250,000 police and soldiers were deployed to provide security during the referendum. The army has also positioned tanks around the presidential palace since early this month.
Meanwhile, Mursi's vice president, Mahmoud Makki, whose post is not mentioned in the new charter, announced on Saturday that he was resigning.
"Political work does not suit my professional character," he said in a statement, referring to his past as a respected judge.
State television reported that Central Bank chief Farouq Al Okda had also resigned, but later cited a cabinet source as denying this had happened.
A modest margin and a low turnout in the referendum is expected to embolden the opposition, which looks likely to continue its campaign against Mursi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Once the constitution is ratified, the Islamist-dominated senate will assume full legislative powers until a new parliament is elected in two months to replace the Islamist-dominated assembly a court annulled before Mursi's election in June.
On Saturday, Morsi appointed 90 additional senators, including eight women and 12 Christians, to further "national dialogue", his spokesman said in a statement.
At one polling station in Giza, southwest Cairo, 50-year-old housewife Zarifa Abdul Aziz said: "I will vote 'no' a thousand times... I am not comfortable with the Brotherhood and all that it is doing."
However, 19-year-old law student Ahmad Mohammad said he voted 'yes' because "Egypt needs a constitution to be stable."
Rights groups say the charter limits the freedoms of religious minorities and women, while allowing the military, which retains considerable influence over politics, to try civilians it believes 'harm' the army.
Mursi had to split the voting over two successive Saturdays after more than half of Egypt's judges said they would not provide the statutory supervision of polling stations.

Again though....the one thing I will say about playing such a tough schedule this year is that there are going to be PLENTY of instances for Moore and Carter to learn some hard lessons and look stupid during the film sessions which will either make or break them...we will know a lot about what we have back there by the end of the year
The injury to Champ has also shown us that we have NOTHING out there....We haven't had a decent corner behind Champ since D-Will and even he was overrated a bit by the fans, IMO....wouldn't mind seeing us take a look at a corner early on
Positive. Watch it again. It's out of 21 personnel for GB so it's a straight forward play. And if you can't see Vaughn in your screen on that one you need to get your eyes checked... he and Dawkins are both one to two steps behind Jordy.
It was the Jennings TD that was more on Dawkins (single man covered), which is just Allen being schematically abused by McCarthy.
Pretty good post though.

Urge to shoot
It was a saturday after a week of hard work and I was craving for some shutter clicks. In the evening finally the sun came out and I went to the Thyssen Krupp building once again, just because I couldn't think of another place to go and take pictures. After that we finished the roll at home in a spontaneous session of lightpainting. Felt much better afterwards ;-))This photo was shot on film. Taken by moodification with a Lubitel 166+ (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Velvia film in Essen, Germany. These tags describe this photo: velvia, cross, x-pro, medium format, lubitel 166+, pink, longtime exposure, nightshot, lightpainting, neeltje, experiment, diana flash, sparkler, and overexposed.

Without Giving, Our Practice Can Stagnate
December 26, 2013
Question: Over time, sadhana, or spiritual practice, can become mechanical, or it can start feeling heavy and serious. How does one remain inspired and light?
Answer: It doesn't matter what we do, the mind gets used to it, and if this happens in our spiritual practice we should not be indifferent, because it is a real problem. When we see the practice becoming mechanical, we should not wait. If we have a teacher, we should approach the teacher and ask for guidance. If there is a yoga center, we should go there and do some karma yoga, attend some teachings, attend satsang. Alternatively, we could go to nature to be alone, to be in silence, to meditate and get re-inspired. We must not allow stagnation to happen, so when we note that it is there, we should immediately, positively act.
One of the best type of actions is serving others. For example, if yoga teachers notice that their own practice is stagnated, they should teach more. This relates to the law of karma and it is a very important teaching. Under the law of karma, the only cause of receiving teachings is giving teachings. We receive valuable teachings in the present because we gave valuable teachings in the past. This is the only reason. Therefore, the more you teach others, the more you are going to receive teachings, and inspiration has to do with the reception of teachings. Practice is one thing, and inspiration is another. Inspiration is a form of teaching and we receive teaching from within.
Why don't we receive teaching from within? It is because we make the mistake of cutting ourselves off from others. The moment our giving diminishes, the receiving also diminishes because, according to the law of karma, the only cause of receiving is the fact that in the past, we gave. This is also true in the present — the more we give, the more we are going to receive, and we receive teaching either as external teaching, or teaching in the form of inspiration. Therefore it is not enough to practice; we should also teach, so if you haven't yet joined the yoga teacher training course, this is the time to do it.
Think about how you came to yoga. I'm sure, if you heard the personal stories, you would see what a profound effect yoga has had on each one of us. Therefore, we practice yoga. Therefore, we come to ashrams, and so on. However, if you think, how did I receive the teaching of yoga — that wonderful teaching that changed and transformed my life — it is because of someone who taught me, right? So there should be someone to teach me, in order for me to receive this wonderful teaching and to transform my own life. You can see that it is very crucial to teach others.
If we don't give, that river of teaching is going to diminish. It is going to become just a trickle. One day we will say, "I practiced and practiced, but within, I am dry." Therefore, as much as it is important to practice, it is also very important to teach because it is by teaching that we receive teaching. This is how we stay inspired.
It is true that Swami Sivananda would say, "Practice, practice, practice," but before that he would say, "Give, give, give." He summarized his teaching in the following way: "Serve, love, give, purify, meditate, realize." You can see that "serve, love, give" comes first. Then comes purification. Then meditation becomes possible. Then realization becomes possible. Without giving, nothing is possible. Without serving, nothing is possible. Without loving, nothing is possible. It is not complicated but we need to understand the principle. It is not sufficient to practice — we also need to give.
Swami Swaroopananda is a senior disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda. A practicing yogi from a very young age, Swami Swaroopananda has dedicated his life to the practice and teaching of yoga. He taught in Yoga Teacher Training Courses around the world and is currently teaching advanced yoga philosophy courses and lectures internationally.

I picked up a 2004 Epic frame (it has the carbon link) that made it out of the factory without a paint job, so it is just raw aluminum. I like the way it looks, but want to know if there might be any concern with corrosion without some type of finish (I could consider paint, or maybe a chrome finishing). I'm not a metallurgist, so I wanted to throw this out and see what everyone thinks. I'm in CA and don't do any wet/mud riding, so if the weather is a consideration, it is all dry xc riding.

The scandal-tarred former House majority leader won't seek reelection to Congress and intends to resign in May or June.
UPDATE #3: Read the entire transcript of DeLay's resignation interview.
UPDATE #5: The Washington Post has a list of articles that chronicle DeLay's downfall.
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Texan touched by a lobbying scandal that ensnared some of his former top aides and cost the Republican his leadership post, won't seek re-election to Congress and intends to resign, Republican officials said Monday.
They said DeLay would leave his seat in May or June.
It was not clear whether or how DeLay could remove his name from the November ballot, but if he did, party officials would presumably be able to select a replacement who could then run against Democratic nominee Nick Lampson.

Illustration Friday - Feet
When I saw the theme for this week's IF the first thought through my mind was that I didn't want draw feet but I had no idea what I was going to do instead. We were walking through a park this weekend when I finally got the idea for my illustration. I pointed the camera straight up to take a shot of the canopy of trees overhead. Then, for whatever reason, I looked down at my feet and that's when I thought: "what's the view like from my feet?" (actually from my left foot in this case). This is a scan of a pencil sketch with color added digitally. More refinement would definitely be in order but this is all I have time for. It's going to be a busy week!

Selanne's Best Shot At The Cup
04/27/07 at 09:51 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun,
Judging from the Ducks' 5-1 win in Game 1 in which Selanne was the third star despite linemate Andy McDonald scoring three goals, the Finnish Flash has the best chance to take himself off the loser list.
"For sure this is my best chance," Selanne said after practice yesterday.
"You never know what is going to happen.
"It's so hard to win one. But the feeling is there. These last two years have been the most fun I've had in my career."

Renney Backs Off
04/27/07 at 09:46 AM ET | Comments (0)
via the Toronto Sun,
He said he never intended to rile the top-seeded Sabres by questioning their status as a legitimate Cup favourite before the series started. Renney's line "they're not the cream of the crop" was gobbled up and spat out by media and players alike in these parts.
"You have to be more calculated in what you offer up," Renney said. "You'd expect the same from your players.
"I'm most disappointed because those weren't my words. I was asked the question, 'Do you think Buffalo is the cream of the crop?' The answer was misconstrued. But (the fallout) is like sticking a tennis ball up a tail pipe."

What Is Going On At The JLA
04/27/07 at 08:39 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press,
Surely you remember the Red Wings. Hockey team ... perennially in the playoffs ... the guys like to skate around with the Stanley Cup every few years ... does any of this ring a bell?
There were thousands of empty seats at Joe Louis Arena on Thursday. The Wings gave the official attendance as 18,712, but I suspect they meant limbs.
We saw this kind of attendance in the first round, too. I really thought that if the Wings made it past Calgary, they would convert some skeptics, and the atmosphere would change by Round 2.
And the atmosphere did change.
It got worse.
Can you say high ticket prices and the complet lack of any marketing plan by the Wings is to blame. The Wings fans have no connection with this team and that is a huge marketing issue.
added 7:48am, from the Mercury News,
Evgeni Nabokov sure knows how to suck the air out of an arena. So do the rest of the Sharks. After scoring two quick goals in the first period Thursday, they performed an amazing magic trick.
They made Hockeytown disappear before our very eyes.
Honestly. They did. Normally, the Detroit Red Wings and a boisterous Joe Louis Arena go together like, well, the NFL draft and overanalysis. But the atmosphere for Game1 of the Sharks' second-round series wavered somewhere between lethargic and tepid.

MacLean Talks
04/27/07 at 08:33 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch,
MacLean was asked whether he'd change anything during his six seasons, all of which ended with the Blue Jackets way out of the playoffs.
"I probably made the mistake of going too young in goal," he said. "I thought Marc Denis was ready to take the step and be a real good goaltender. And I may have made the mistake of playing too many young guys.
"People have chastised me for the (Sergei) Fedorov trade. But the club is .500 since we made the Fedorov trade."
Actually, the Blue Jackets are 63-72-11 since the Fedorov trade. But when did .500 become the goal, anyway?
MacLean made the wrong decision thinking Fedorov was the type of player who could lead Columbus to the playoffs. He needed more parts than just Sergei to get them over the playoff hump.

Hockey Fans Without Versus
04/27/07 at 08:26 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Neil Best at Newsday,
So no one should be surprised about the current predicament of hockey fans, in which nearly 40 million U.S. households - about 35 percent of the total - can't watch the many playoff games on Versus.
That includes a couple of million homes in our area, 600,000 of which are Cablevision customers, who won't see the Rangers play the Sabres Tuesday and will miss any game in the conference or Stanley Cup Finals not televised by NBC.
This is old news in other parts of the nation, where many fans freaked out last spring in the first season of the Versus (then called OLN) deal with the NHL.
At the time Versus was available in only 49 percent of cable homes in the Los Angeles area, angering Ducks fans, to cite one example. That figure is up to 59 percent now.
Versus is in only 61 percent of homes in metro Detroit, the nation's foremost hockey hotbed.

Versus HD In Detroit- Wings/Sharks
04/26/07 at 08:37 PM ET | Comments (0)
The HD broadcast is nowhere to be found. on VSGLF, the VS dedicated HD channnel, we have golf. On INHD, which is normally the backup channel, we have an NBA game scheduled for 8pm.
So no HD for Wings fans with Comcast in the Detroit area.
If someone finds it, please pass it on.
added 8:16pm, Versus, you have to do a better job of informing your viewers about your HD broadcasts.

Roberto Luongo is Mortal
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
04/26/07 at 07:58 PM ET | Comments (0)
From Josh Peter at Yahoo! Sports,
This just in: Roberto Luongo is mortal.
Casual fans might be asking, "Roberto who?" But the puckheads among us must be asking, "Roberto Luongo is mortal? You can't be serious, can you?"
We're serious. Very serious.
The Anaheim Ducks did more than beat the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday in the Stanley Cup playoffs. In a 5-1 victory, they dispelled the myth that Luongo, Vancouver's splendid goaltender, can single-handedly carry the Canucks into the Western Conference finals. The Ducks did this in astonishing fashion, too.
Note: No disrespect to the Ducks—their goals were well-earned, and Luongo has struggled against them all season—but Mr. Peter's entire article seems to be prefaced on the idea of The End of Luongo. Well, Luongo got scored on 4 times in regulation in the first game of the Dallas series as well. Just because he didn't dominate in Game #1 of the 2nd round, doesn't necessarily mean he's out of this series. (Just thought I'd point that out. Hmph.)

ASG Moved To Sunday
04/26/07 at 07:54 PM ET | Comments (0)
via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
Originally scheduled to be played on Wednesday night, Jan. 16, Atlanta's first NHL All-Star Game instead will be played on Sunday, Jan. 27.
That is the Sunday between the NFL's conference championship games and the Super Bowl.
The game time "has not been formalized," Brown said.
Preliminary events, which typically include a skills competition and a young stars game, now will be held on Jan. 26.
The NHL played this year's All-Star Game in Dallas on a Wednesday, the first time since 1989 the game had been played in mid-week.

Bruins Extend Toivonen's Contract
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
04/26/07 at 06:47 PM ET | Comments (0)
From TSN,
The Boston Bruins have agreed to a one-year contract extension with goaltender Hannu Toivonen. Per team policy, terms of the deal will not be disclosed.
"We feel that Hannu has shown the dedication and the proper attitude the whole year," said Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli. "Hannu has the right head, the right heart and all of the tools to be a good NHL goalie for many years. We felt that it was imperative to get him signed at this point."
