Cross of distinction | Cruz Azul's visit to Atlanta offers another cultural intersection
Atlanta Silverbacks Park, now fitted out with three artificial pitches and a 3,000-seat stadium, sits east of Spaghetti Junction (aka Tom Moreland Interchange), the five-level stack of roller-coaster-like ramps servicing Interstates 85 and 285. (© 2007 Navteq | © 2006 Google)
Much of soccer culture in the United States remains hidden, but matches such as the Jul 28 Copa Amistad between the Atlanta Silverbacks and Cruz Azul cast light on the place of the sport in everyday lives of Latinos. Will Ramírez, publisher of Estadio, a Spanish-language sports weekly based in Tucker, Georgia, describes in our Jul 24 podcast how he and many of the 425,000 Hispanics in the Atlanta area remain linked to soccer despite, or because of, displacement.
Spanish people play soccer like crazy. They play from Monday through Sunday. The first league in Atlanta was back in '87 or '88 with only 15 teams. And now there are more than 30 [leagues]. I say about 40,000 [Hispanic] players play soccer over the week. That's a lot of players.
Ramírez, who played professionally in his native El Salvador and in Honduras before coming to Houston in 1985 to play for Houston Dynamos of the short-lived United Soccer League, started the tabloid in 1997 with $1,000. He operated from a room in his house before putting $30,000 on credit cards to expand; now, Estadio numbers among at least seven periodistas deportivos in the Atlanta area with a combined 180,000 circulation (2003 figures) (see Michelle Hiskey, "Newspapers Make Sport(s) in Spanish," Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 17 Aug 03).
Much of Estadio's coverage focuses on the amateur Latino and international leagues. The Jul 19 issue (no. 542) features de rigueur post-game pictures of victors and trophies but also of the game's grittier underside: a player strapped to a gurney as he is loaded onto a DeKalb County fire-and-rescue vehicle and another under police escort after being ejected from a second-division encounter in Liga Independiente de Chamblee. The profusion of ads throughout shows how the Hispanic community has emerged as a market force. The Hispanic papers boasted of their influence in 2003 when the Atlanta Beat of the Women's United Soccer Association acquired Maribel Domínguez of Mexico (see 5 Mar 04). Supporters waving Mexican flags boosted the team's attendance; Estadio, on its front page, branded Domínguez "Mari-gol."

Boris Jerkunica, owner of the Silverbacks, credits the Hispanic press and other Hispanic-owned companies with helping to build the Silverbacks brand within Atlanta. Estadio features four full pages of Silverbacks coverage on Jul 19, with concentration on an earlier friendly versus another Mexican first-division team, Monterrey. The match did not merit a mention in the local English-language newspaper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "The American press has been harder to engage," Jerkunica says, "especially the newspaper in town."
In efforts to build a club environment at Silverbacks Park at what perhaps is Atlanta's most famous intersection—the tangle of cement highway ramps north of the city known collectively as Spaghetti Junction—the Atlanta team relies at least partly on Hispanic leagues and families to fill its three fields on weekday nights and weekends. Watching any of the Silverbacks' teams, whether the first-division USL team, the W-League Silverbacks women or developmental sides, from the main 3,000-seat stadium, one remains aware of parallel action on the neighboring two lighted fields. Balls periodically arc through the klieg lights, and constant foot and car traffic churns up construction dust from Georgia clay.
In creating a ladder of teams down to youth levels, Jerkunica says he has modeled player-development schemes on those from his native Croatia with help from business partners from the UK. The system already has produced at least one rising talent, 16-year-old Candace West, who on Jul 20 scored her first goal for the Silverbacks women to help solidify the team's place in the W-League playoffs.
Jerkunica, 40, acquired the Silverbacks in 2000, the fourth owner of a team he once said carried an air of "conditioned pessimism" (Mike Tierney, "The American Dream—With a Kick," Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 9 Jul 06). He says that the Silverbacks' motto, in contrast to previous, more ego-driven American flirtations with soccer, reflects confidence in the game's sustainability. "We have a philosophy of as they come we will build it, instead of we will build it and they will come." The objective, in the language of one who acquired the team after sale of a joint software venture netted $287 million, is to make the franchise "cash-flow neutral." Hence, the team remained wary when approached by organizers of a restart women's professional league trying to add investors before launching in spring 2008. "Our hearts want to" take the risk of buying into the league, Jerkunica wrote in February, "but our minds tell us not to."
That Silverbacks Park remains a construction zone, a work in progress, seems appropriate for such a long-term outlook. Cruz Azul ("Los Cementeros"), founded in 1927 by workers of the eponymous cement company, should feel at home among the soaring cement highway arches near the Silverbacks stadium. Both Jerkunica and Ramírez expect a strong crowd of Cruz Azul supporters this Saturday.
Quinones wished to include a story from America's heartland in his work, in addition to tales of opera in Tijuana and the black-velvet painting industry.
In many communities in the United States, however, Latino supporters do not exist in such numbers or with such security in their standing. That Latino soccer cultures are not uniform is apparent in Sam Quinones's treatment of the Garden City High School soccer team. The chapter, "A Soccer Season in Southwest Kansas," appears within Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration (University of New Mexico Press, 2007), the Los Angeles Times writer's most recent collection.
Quinones traveled "on a hunch" to the High Plains, guided by Garden City coach Joaquín Padilla. The flat landscape filled with cattle and corn, the daring of homesteading pioneers and certainly the presence of Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz—who author L. Frank Baum positioned in nearby Liberal, Kansas, "to emphasize his heroine's innocence"—occupy strands in the American myth-making enterprise. The area more recently has become a site for Mexican migration due to the presence of the world's largest beef slaughterhouse, run by IBP, Iowa Beef Packers—since acquired by Tyson Foods.
The 2003 Garden City team that Quinones profiles—consisting of 11 children of Mexican immigrants, five from El Salvador, one Vietnamese and one Anglo—considers itself an outsider in school life. Parents, family members and players themselves work or sense that one day they will work at the IBP plant, which offers security but also an easy surrender to the struggle against language and other cultural barriers. Although the team formed in 1996, players believe that "some students on campus didn't even know the school had a soccer team." Soccer, Quinones tells us,
was relegated, was ignored, never mentioned even when the team had a brief period where it did okay. No one ever mentioned it. A lot of kids on the team kind of viewed this as the way Mexicans were viewed in the community still. Mexicans had been an integral and essential part of the economy as beef workers for 20 years by that point, but they were never really mentioned except in the crime pages. The way soccer was viewed was very much a symbol for how Mexicans had not integrated … into the southwest Kansas area.
Successes during the 2003 season help bring the players and the Hispanic community at large into public view, resulting in the school's first pep rally on the soccer team's behalf. Individually, players and families shake off some of the fear that limits possibilities for life and that even affects the style of fútbol, such that the high school in times of struggle plays with deference to the taller white children from opposing schools in the region.
A trickle-down effect helps the Hispanic community more broadly recognize its legitimacy in the cultural surround. The school the following year hires the first Hispanic high school principal in Kansas history. Quinones cites the example of Vanessa Ramírez, empowered through supporting the Garden City team to continue her education past high school and to play soccer herself.
"Hispanic students isolate themselves," Ramírez tells Quinones. "They say, 'I'm going to look stupid if I participate.' They feel like they don't want to be involved in school. They just want to be involved in their own little world. They're scared."
- David Keyes of Culture of Soccer offers a photo essay on the Garden City team as part of his American soccer road trip (Sept 23).
- The United Soccer Leagues in which the Atlanta Silverbacks compete is not a "second division" in the true sense. There is no promotion or relegation between USL and MLS. Further, top U.S.-based players sometimes prefer the USL to gain better salaries, to settle in a more affordable city and to assure themselves playing time (Mark Zeigler, "Upstart USL Teams Make Mark against MLS," San Diego Union-Tribune, Aug 1).
Although facing under-strength MLS sides, USL teams won five of eight matches in the U.S. Open Cup third round in July. The Silverbacks themselves, although mid-table in the USL first division, came close to upsetting FC Dallas on Jul 9. Dallas advanced on penalties. Further, first-division USL teams Vancouver, Montreal and Puerto Rico are ineligible for the U.S.-only knockout competition.
- The audio of Quinones's Jul 25 appearance on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer is available for download ("Author Puts Faces on the Immigration Debate").

My kid LOVES opening packs and I enjoy putting the regular Topps sets together from 2008 to present, with 2008 being the year we saw our first Brewer game at Miller Park. It's not much, a box every other month or so, but she gets to rip. While there are a few dud boxes, the expense is minimal and enjoyment factor is worth the expense. I must say, though, that she is pretty lucky and the hits in the packs she opens far outweigh the hits (or lack of) in mine. These are most of her recent ones: Nothing extraordinary but enough to keep her interested in the hobby, which works for me. So, what it really boils down to is, what are you collecting for? For us, she opens and I build and trade for the PC. Win-win, in my opinion.

I figure a certain amount of the price I'm paying is for the experience of opening the box. I grew up making sets from packs and boxes, and that's what the hobby is for me. If I tried to go the buy singles and sets route, I don't think I'd last much longer.

themoz1 Wrote:Ok, I will give it a try. Many of my scans were done a few years back when Beckett had an uploading contest. They wanted small images to use as examples for the different types of cards. Most of the scans that come up when you search Stackhouse (between '95 through 2000) are from my collection. I know there is another Stackhouse collector (mojenda) who has pretty close to everything, but my collection is still pretty nice even though I quit after '99-'00. I always found it frustrating that many of the lower numbered cards weren't priced (like print runs less than 20). I remember reading in an old Beckett price guide that the multiplier on Green PMG's was 12x the value of the red version, but since there are only 10, now they would say "unpriced due to scarcity". What country are you from? If you know anyone over there that wants a good deal on a Stackhouse collection, I'll hook you up with a finder's fee

In the 60's, a wave of nostalgia helped the legendary comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello make a return to television-this time in animated form. The syndicated Abbott & Costello consisted of a 156 five minute cartoons- 4 to the half-hour- nearly all of which featured Lou running for his life from a variety of pursuers while screaming his trademark line, "Hey Abbott!" Unfortunately, the series featured none of the comedy routines that made the pair famous, and it featured very little of the rapport that made them legends.
The most remarkable feature of the series was the fact that Bud Abbott provided his own voice. At the time, Abbott was very ill and owed a pretty sum of money to the IRS, so the job was something of a godsend for him. Sadly, years of smoking and a 1964 stroke had ravaged Abbott's voice so badly that he retained little of his original slick, smooth-talking tone. Stan Irwin provided the voice of Lou Costello, the comedian having died of a heart attack in 1959.
Though the show has taken some flack from Abbot & Costello purists, the animated Abbott & Costello does hold the distinction of being one of the first cartoons based on real people, an honor shared with 1965's The New 3 Stooges and 1966's Laurel and Hardy.

- The Stealth is back home after a week and a half of work. The Overdrive gear was totally lack of any gear, slick as door knob...no teeth what so ever.
Jerry Carter of his 51 year old business pulled the trans out from under the bottom of the Stealth and repaired, cleaned, and replaced the Automatic Trans in a record heat wave. Jerry is over 70 years old, and man let me tell you, This guy knows his business....and charged a price like in the old days, unreal !
My first impress when I pulled in front of his shop was, Oh Boy ! This place looks old and run down, antique transmission parts everywhere, I think I seen the first transmission ever built...this place is a museum.
Lord, inside the garage was cluttered wall to wall, tables full of gears, bands, governors, you name it, it was every where, transmission parts with 3 slots for there patients to rest with a full length I-beam across the shop with a chain hoist on rollers to move the trans from the patient to it's appropriate areas to be processes and then replaced back in it's mounts and ready for service again.
My Trans has never worked this well since it was purchased, ever little detail was taken care of, even the key lock that always acted up sometimes, and you had to wiggle the shifter to get the key out, Fixed, too !
Smooth shifting and excellent working...ever in Paducah, KY check out Jerry Carter transmission shop. You wouldn't think this kind of Quality would come from a shop like this one. Even Jerry is a museum piece.

At Lake City we turned off to go to Patties at Grand Rivers, checked out the sites for couple of hours then back towards home on I-24, last exit in Kentucky before the Ohio River the transmission goes crazy, we pull off the exit and head home on 45 Highway, ends up reverse is out as well as OD. Car is in the transmission shop in Paducah, KY for repairs.

Miller Sues Smithfield Foods to Block
Acquisition of Murphy Farms in Iowa
"We allege a Smithfield acquisition of Murphy Farms would violate Iowa law that prohibits meat processors from owning, controlling or operating a feedlot in Iowa," Miller says.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller filed suit today to block Smithfield Foods Inc. - the world's largest pork processor -- from acquiring the Iowa pork-production assets of Murphy Farms Inc.
"We allege the acquisition would violate Iowa's Corporate Farming law, which prohibits any pork or beef processor from owning, controlling, or operating a feedlot in Iowa," Miller said. The suit was filed Monday afternoon in Humboldt County District Court in Dakota City.
"Our argument is straightforward," Miller said. "Processors may not control hog production facilities in Iowa, and Smithfield is a processor. In fact, Smithfield is the largest pork processor in the world." The suit said Smithfield reported sales of $3.8 billion last year.
"If Smithfield acquires Murphy Farms, it will retain essential control of pork production at about 300 sites in Iowa where Iowa producers have swine production contracts with Murphy Farms," Miller said. "Those contracts specify today that Murphy Farms has authority over most important management decisions, from ownership, source and marketing of the hogs, to the hogs' sex, feed ration, medication, and transportation."
"We allege that adds up to control -- and a violation if Smithfield acquires Murphy's assets in Iowa," Miller said. "That is important because Iowa's Corporate Farming law was enacted in order to preserve free and private enterprise, prevent monopoly, and protect consumers."
On Sept. 2, 1999, Smithfield Foods, of Smithfield, VA, announced that it had reached agreement in principle to acquire Murphy Farms, Inc., which is headquartered in Rose Hill, NC. The acquisition is scheduled to be completed as early as Tuesday, January 25, 2000.
On Sept. 3, the suit said, Miller's office contacted Smithfield, "expressly made them aware of the prohibitions" of Iowa's Corporate Farming law, and asked Smithfield to explain how it planned to address the issue.
Miller's suit asked the court to issue preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting Smithfield Foods from acquiring Murphy Farms or any assets in Iowa that would violate the Iowa Corporate Farming act.
When Smithfield announced the planned Murphy Farms acquisition on Sept. 2, it noted that Smithfield Foods "is the largest hog producer and pork processor in the world." It said the company's brands include Smithfield Lean Generation Pork, Smithfield Premium, Gwaltney, John Morrell, Patrick Cudahy, Schneiders, Krakus, Lykes, Esskay, Kretschmar, Valleydale, Jamestown, Dinner Bell, ReaLean, Patrick's Pride, Great, Tobin's First Prize, Peyton's, Curly's, Ember Farms, and others.
Smithfield also noted in September that Murphy Farms is the second largest hog production company in the U.S., with approximately 325,000 sows producing approximately 5.5 million market hogs annually. Smithfield said acquisition of Murphy Farms would roughly double Smithfield's own hog production capacity. Smithfield said the acquisition would increase the company's level of domestic vertical integration to 60 percent (the company would produce 60% of the pigs it requires for processing.) Smithfield said it and its subsidiaries raise hogs already in North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, Utah, Brazil and Mexico.

Setting a new industry standard by creating a groundbreaking innovation: the First real integrated brake !
There is of course no doubt about the necessity of a brake on a bike! But this brake, like other bike components, creates turbulence and causes drag, restraining the speed a bike can obtain. That's why it has been one of the main goals of bike manufacturers to integrate the brakes as much as possible.
Until now, many efforts have been made, yet no one was able to truly integrate the brake into frame and fork. Following years of in-depth testing, we therefore started developing our own brakes and integrated these into the frame and fork itself.
The result: the first real integrated brake. This innovative setup results in less drag and cleaner lines: a faster, sleeker and better solution.
In other words: the First brake in the world which makes you faster!
If you see the picture of this unique brake system there's no need to tell the aerodynamic advantage of this brake. Normal brakes, which are obvious undesirable obstacles in the airstream, create turbulence while the position and shape of our speed brakes reduces the air resistance to a very minimum. Moreover, creating the brakes like this, we are able to lengthen the F-Splitfork™ from dropout to fork crown, giving the bike even more of an advantage.

after being proved totally wrong, benchmark00 is as happy as kurtis patterson....
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
i'm pretty sure patterson was left out just because he bums out everyone else.
Prolonged tasting by Spikey here.
Have just been informed Rohrer was left out because he wanted to catch a really good shark documentary at IMAX in Darling Harbour and it conflicted with the shield fixture.
Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
benchmark00 trying to change the subject. classic symptoms of a tastin'
rohrer was left out because we only allow one player currently signed with a victorian bigbash team to play for nsw. there's not even any good shark doco's showing at the imax. (because you burnt down the imax when you torched the other two buildings and fled the country, punk)
Where is Rohrer?
Michael Clarke to captain NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
Why is Hazlewood not playing the one-day game.
Starting XI for both games should have been:
Maddinson, Henriques, Smith, Clarke (c), Rohrer, Haddin (+), Nevill, O'Keefe, Copeland, Bollinger, Hazlewood
Disagree that they should have the same team in both formats. I was saying earlier this year that Nev should open and I stick by that. All things considered, Henriques hasn't done enough to deserve a shot up the top of the order.
I questioned Hazlewood's exclusion, but I think its probably just easing him into things after a long injury lay off. Ideally you would expect him to surpass Lalor and Copeland soon.
NSW are the outsiders on most betting sites, juicy $7.50 to win.

Patto fires for the vics.
God, saw two minutes of Crash Craddock on the Back Page last night, pontificating about T20 cricket. He started off right, talking about how when you watch the IPL, it's the best batsmen who end up making the most runs; then used this point to slag off Cameron White's selection in the side.
IPL stats for 2012, anyone?
main problem i have with white's selection in the recent series is that I think he was batting too low. don't know why maxwell batted 3 in the last game. i mean, it worked out sure, but it seems to me throwing white up there would have made more sense from a WC pov
in conclusion, Craddock and the other ****ty news ltd (ben dorrrrrrries or w/ever) can die in a hole.

usman has a big innings in front of him today. derby are fighting for promotion and 3 down already. although noted batsman Tony Palladino is with him. this is all worth talking about because the game is being shown on skysports, and well you know what i mean
First ball I started watching sees Palladino gone.
Nice to see the QLDer Khawaja making runs.

You've decided it's time to purse an advanced degree. Luckily, there are several ways and resources to investigate potential programs. Use this methodical process to narrow your search.
Step 1 Create a personal profile.
"Skills, talents and abilities, as well as passion for a certain career path, help students create a path that will eventually lead to employment," says Deborah Sakelaris, a certified professional coach and owner of Rodas Coaching, LLC.
Graduate students should determine not only what they're good at, but also what they enjoy. Joanne Canyon-Heller, assistant vice president for Graduate and Global Recruitment at Roosevelt University, suggests students write out a list of their interests or goals and take a career interest survey as a springboard for finding the best path for their particular temperament and skills.
If you already have a school or program in mind, inquire as to whether you can sample classes. For example, Roosevelt, DeVry University and Northern Illinois University (NIU) all offer "class and job shadow" programs, where students sit in on a live class and acquire real-world knowledge. Often it's as easy as reading course titles to see what sparks your interest, suggests Patricia McCanna, secretary/treasurer of the Association for Continuing Higher Education for the Great Lakes Region.
"I remind individuals that their major doesn't always determine their entire career," adds Ms. Sakelaris. "They'll have numerous opportunities to add to their training as new opportunities present themselves." Ms. Canyon-Heller states it's also valuable for students to develop an awareness of their learning style. Once they know this, an admissions counselor can help a student find schools that cater to those needs. "Think in terms of, 'My experience, my life, my strengths,'" advises Meryl Sussman, director of Undergraduate Programs for Adults at NIU. "Don't work against your own best abilities."
Step 2 Research careers.
While course listings and learning styles are important, be sure to evaluate the full picture. That is, what are employers currently looking for in terms of expertise? "When evaluating a degree, one must take under consideration current and future market trends, technology advances as well as employers' preferred qualifications," says Piotr Lechowski, president of DeVry University Chicago Loop Campus. Helpful tools for career exploration and job analysis can be found at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, O*Net OnLine and the Center for Governmental Studies.
Visits to the school, informational events, open houses and conversations with counselors are invaluable sources. At NIU, Cathy Cradduck, the outreach student contact manager, suggests returning students consider "trying out" a degree at a community college before setting sights on that top-rated private institution. The benefits? Less money and less time.
Step 3 Ask the right questions.
A non-traditional student has to be prepared with the right questions to ask an advisor. For example: How will my previous work fit in with this new degree? What length are the classes, when and how often do they meet? Are student support services available in areas of advising and academics? Are tutoring programs offered? Is there a general education program offered? What are the costs associated with the program? Which degrees most easily lend themselves to employment? Is this degree available in a fast-track program tailored to adult learners? Are online classes available within this program?
Step 4 Make a connection.
Forming relationships with academic advisors, professors, mentors and friends helps graduate students succeed in a program within a shorter timeline. "Talk to other people in order to learn their experience," says Ms. McCanna.
Relating to advisors and professionals can help keep a student positive. Mandy Wescott, an outreach student success specialist at NIU, tries to help students through an empowerment process.
"Some students come to me and say, 'But I've only been a stay-at-home mom,'" says Ms. Wescott. "To which I respond, 'Oh, so you're a good manager.'"
By networking, opportunities arise, giving adults a confidence boost and inspiration when choosing a degree. "Skills are very important in finding that certain career," says Ms. Sakelaris. "However, personal attributes such as confidence, self-esteem and a little humility go a long way in assisting individuals to find their place of employment."

peritonitis), lining surrounding the lungs (pleurisy), and joints (arthralgia and occasionally arthritis). These episodes are often accompanied by fever and sometimes a characteristic ankle rash. The first episode usually occurs in childhood or the teenage years, but in some cases, the initial attack occurs much later in life. Between attacks, people often do not have any symptoms. Without treatment, FMF can lead to kidney failure due to a buildup of certain protein deposits (amyloidosis). FMF is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene.[1][2]
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited condition characterized by episodes of painful inflammation of the abdominal lining (

If you still think "the customer is king," you're falling behind. Today's most powerful growth engine is users—people who interact with a company through digital media and technology even if they have never spent a dime. Become indispensable to users and the profits will follow.
As CEO of the digital marketing agency HUGE, Aaron Shapiro goes inside blue-chip companies to advise them on how to thrive in this new business reality. He led an extensive study of the Fortune 1000 and found that the most successful companies focus on users first. Look at Facebook and Google. They built their businesses before they even figured out what they were selling, let alone who their customers were.
Shapiro argues that every business needs to stop obsessing about customers and start creating powerful user experiences. For instance: Mint.com made the easiest and most effective interface for controlling your personal finances, and once there, you can follow ads that let you improve your financial performance even more. And Net_ ix took down Blockbuster by treating its subscribers as users, not customers. It continually changed and improved its technology to create the best possible experience instead of maximizing rental fees and late fees.

Close to midnight, the Lisa René Band begins performing a cover of a Neil Diamond classic. Immediately, the energy level of the crowd on the dance floor goes up a few notches in anticipation of the chorus — and the inevitable sing-a-long.
"Sweet Caroline ... Bum, Bum, Bum," the crowd eagerly shouts out loud.
Also joining in for the chorus are those sitting at tables, sipping drinks and mingling with friends. Many of them at Stage 151 are regulars.
"It's like a big family here," said Debbie Wever of Joliet. "You kind of know everybody if you're a regular."
And when the music stops, some go for a bite to eat or coffee. On the way there, they walk past an area where the background music is the constant chime of slot machines.
Sure, for many the focus of casinos is gambling. But you can bet there are other, non-gaming, entertainment options there as well. And some are even free.
At Harrah's Joliet, home to no cover charge Stage 151, it's about trying to connect to the community with activities that are not necessarily related to gaming.
"You don't have to be a player to come here and eat," said Nicole Fields, internet marketing manager for Harrah's Joliet. "And we do have something for everybody's palate."
After recently dining at Fairbanks Steak House at Hollywood Casino in Aurora, Ken and Christy Kinerim of Yorkville stopped by the casino's Center Stage to listen to rock band Epic.
"It gives you something to do other than throw your money away," said Ken of listening to the music.
Others prefer to take in a show while trying their luck at the games.
"I'm not a big traveller, so this is convenient," said Paul Stofcheck of Elgin. He and his wife, Jean, were listening to rock duo Frank & Dave on a recent Sunday afternoon at the Grand Victoria Casino Show Bar while playing video poker.
The couple eats the casino often, and also catch some of the shows. Originally from Michigan, Jean Stofcheck said she enjoys the fact that she can go visit a casino that is non-smoking.
"That's why we don't leave the state (to visit casinos)," Jean Stofcheck said.
With many area casinos offering free parking, drink and food specials, and no cover charge, a night out at the casino can be more affordable than a night in the city.
"A lot of people aren't aware of some of the entertainment options in the suburbs," said Marilou Pilman, marketing director for Grand Victoria.
Although a bit of the city atmosphere will be present when Hollywood Casino Joliet opens its new nightclub Rêve in early February.
"There isn't anything like this in the area — the ultra lounge house/dance club," said Jill Green, senior marketing manager for Hollywood Casino Joliet. "We're hoping to pull the Chicago feel out into the burbs."
Hollywood Casino Aurora
1 W. New York Street Bridge, Aurora
(800) 888-7777
Center Stage: Just as the name implies, the stage is located right in the middle of the casino floor action. Visitors can hear the bands while gaming, but there is also limited cabaret seating and a small dance floor adjacent to the stage for those who just want to listen to the music.
Aurora resident Mitch Moore, who doesn't gamble, attends the shows every Friday and Saturday. He arrives at 7 p.m. "so I can get my spot" at one of the dozen or so tables.
Center Stage, which just opened this summer, features a variety of music acts from throughout the area.
"We try to keep the entertainment on our stage always dynamic," said Amanda Johnson, executive casino host manager. "Also popular in the area, so people can come out to a really unique venue and still see someone they're into."
While the audience ages range from young adults to seniors, those attending must be at least 21 since the stage is on the casino floor.
"We've had bachelor parties and bachelorette parties," Johnson said. "We've had 100th birthday parties. It appeals to all ages."
During one recent performance, the band 80s rock band Epic dedicated a song to a woman celebrating her 84th birthday. It was Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me."
Upcoming shows: All are 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. No cover charge. Must be 21 to attend.

Hollywood Casino Joliet

Hollywood Stadium: The sports bar and restaurant is also home to the casino's main stage, which features music Fridays and Saturdays and occasional weekday shows. Multiple TV screens let viewers watch various sports games and tournaments, including a jumbo 80-foot by 20-foot screen above the bar.
"Any place you sit, you can watch television," said Mildred Pelmer of Chicago. "I think it's beautiful. There's enough TVs, so you can't miss it, no matter where you sit."
When a band is playing, the performance is often projected onto the giant screen.
"We try to go for that mini-House of Blues feel," said Justin Sattazahn, entertainment manager.
There is no cover charge for the shows, which feature local and regional acts performing a variety of music including rock, country and R&B.

Celebrity Pit: Located on the lower level gaming floor, the pit features celebrity look-a-like dealers — think Cher, Marilyn and Kid Rock — who take breaks from their dealer duties by performing on a mini stage near the blackjack tables. The celeb impersonators — who audition for the role and are then sent to blackjack school — perform Thursday through Sunday from around 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Rêve: set to make its debut Feb. 8 with DJ Skoob and DJ Shawn Edwards, the name of the new ultra lounge and nightclub means "dream" in French. The club will feature a 30-foot dance floor, bottle service and more.
"There's nothing like that out this way," Sattazahn said. "There's a lot of bars that having dancing, but there are no clubs."
Located off of the casino floor in the space formerly occupied by the buffet, Rêve will be open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The ultra lounge will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. and the club from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Online RSVP at ReveJoliet.com is encouraged, as there is a $10 cover charge at the door.
Hollywood Stadium: The sports bar and restaurant, located in the pavilion, features a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wraps and more. In addition, Hollywood-themed dishes, drinks and specials make an appearance on the menu like the Jack Lemon Drop martini and the "I'll Have What She's Having" bananas foster cheesecake.
Final Cut Steakhouse: Located in the pavilion, it's an upscale restaurant evoking the spirit of 1940s Hollywood. Along with a regular menu featuring steaks, seafood and pastas, a prix fix menu is offered three days a week. Reservations can be made online. Adjacent to the restaurant is a small lounge with piano entertainment.
Epic Buffet: Also in the pavilion, the buffet features a wide range of entrees, sides and desserts and more.

Harrah's Casino
151 N. Joliet St., Joliet
(815) 740-7800
Stage 151, located adjacent to but not on the gaming floor, features performances by a variety of local bands. The area features a bar, with a few dozen tables and chairs, as well as a dance floor. It's not uncommon to see regulars there — some who might sport glow-in-the-dark glasses — dancing near the stage.
"I just like the atmosphere," said Debra Sweet of Plainfield, who attends shows frequently with her mother. "There's a lot of regulars. They have fun. They don't care how bad they dance. They have fun no matter what."
In the winter, shows are from 8 p.m. to midnight, and in the summer the hours are 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. There is no cover charge.
Sheer Bar: More laid back than Stage 151, Sheer bar has a booth seating and its own music that allows for more conversation. "It's just for people who want to lounge around," Fields said.
On some Fridays and Saturdays, a DJ will play on the casino floor. Employees have been known to break into synchronized dances. Harrah's will also occasionally host special performances in its events center which require tickets, Fields said.
Upcoming shows:
Jan. 24: Maggie Speaks
Jan. 25: Arra
Feb. 1: Dot Dot Dot
Feb. 2: Split Decision
Feb. 8: Two White Crew
Feb. 9: Hairbangers Ball

Paula Deen's Kitchen: Joliet is the first non-Southern location to host a Paula Deen's Kitchen. Along with some familiar comfort foods like chicken pot pie that can be ordered ala carte, guests can choose to dine at the restaurant's buffet. But be clear, it is not a typical casino-type buffet.
"It's a kitchen with a menu and a buffet option," Fields said.
Those who want to take a souvenir home to remind them of the celebrity chef can stop at the adjacent gift shop where items for sale range from cooking utensils to butter-flavored lip balm.
Reserve Steakhouse: The 1950s style upscale restaurant has a more romantic atmosphere with low lighting. Eating alone? Diners can sit at the Chef's Bar and chat with the chefs as they prepare the food and maybe even sample some of the dishes they are working on.
"It's a nice interactive experience up there," said Room Chef Tye Nielsen. "We have people that, after they eat up there they'll never eat in the dining room again."
Ace's Diner: features traditional diner fare including burgers and shakes.
Starbucks: its not uncommon to see employees from neighboring businesses and nearby Will County Courthouse run in and grab a cup of Joe to go.

Grand Victoria Casino
250 S. Grove Ave., Elgin
(847) 468-7000
Show Bar: Featuring music Thursday though Sundays, the Show Bar is located on the south end of the casino floor. Guests, who must be 21, can sit at the bar that is directly in front the stage. Some of the seats have video poker screens, others do not. There is also a small dance floor for those who want to let the music move them. There is no cover charge.
Typically, the music on Thursdays and Sundays is more mellow and features old favorites. Thursday's shows are from 7 to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday shows, which run 9 to 11:59 p.m. are upbeat and more contemporary.
"We wanted to have a little something for the different types of clientele we have," said Marilou Pilman, marketing manager of GVC.
The entertainment is managed by Ron Onesti, president and chief executive officer of Onesti Entertainment Corporation and the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles.
Onesti said he is working more national and internationally renowned acts to the Show Bar, which opened in September. In addition, the stage might feature acts that are performing at the nearby Arcada as well.
"We want to bring in national musicians to really make a splash on the boat," he said.
Upcoming shows:
Jan. 24: Guitarra Azul
Jan. 25: Spoken Four
Jan. 26: Groove Dynasty
Jan. 27: The Meteors
Jan. 31: Sam Savage
Feb. 1: The Moods
Feb. 2: NuBlu with Carlise Guy (daughter of Buddy Guy)
Feb. 3: Jack Miuccio
Prime Burger House: The atmosphere is like an upscale diner, with the promise of "the ultimate burger experience."
"We have our own butcher shop," said Marilou Pilman, marketing manager for GVC. "Everything is artisan crafted every day."
Guests can order cocktails, soft drinks and the famous milkshakes. The shakes come "Leaded" (with alcohol) or "Unleaded" (without).
Buffet: Currently undergoing a major renovation, the Grand Victoria is offering a smaller, temporary buffet in the Fox River Room on the second floor of the pavilion. The new buffet, called Indulge Show Kitchen Buffet, is expected to open at the end of March.
"We're going to have a variety of things that are actually prepared right before the customers' eyes," Pilman said.
Buckinghams Steakhouse and Lounge: The upscale restaurant, which looks as if the Rat Pack would hang out there, features steak and seafood, fine dining and cocktails. Reservations are recommended and can be made at (888) 508-1900.
During construction of the buffet, Buckinghams Lounge is offering a specialty lunch menu Mondays through Fridays. Along with grilled sirloin steak and the catch of the day, hot and cold sandwiches, soups and salads are featured on the special menu.
Crave Deli: Open 24 hours, the deli features sandwiches, salads, ice cream and more.
