A bill enacting new regulations on minor political party participation in state elections yesterday passed through the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate despite objections from the Libertarian Party and other critics that the bill will shut out minor parties in future elections. The bill now needs approval from the Republican-controlled Ohio House and Republican Gov. John Kasich, who would likely benefit from the bill because it would help stave off tea party challengers in the gubernatorial election. The proposal was sponsored by State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Republican from Cincinnati.
The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority yesterday released drafts for contracts with operators who will manage Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages under the city's parking plan, which leases the parking assets to the Port Authority for at least 30 years. Xerox will be paid about $4.5 million in its first year operating Cincinnati's parking meters, and it will be separately paid $4.7 million over 10 years to upgrade meters to, among other features, allow customers to pay through a smartphone. Xerox's contract will last 10 years, but it can be renewed for up to 30 years. The city administration says the parking plan will raise millions in upfront money then annual installments that will help finance development projects and balance the budget, but critics say the plan gives up too much control of Cincinnati's parking assets.
City Council's Budget and Finance Committee yesterday approved nearly $854,000 in tax credits over 10 years for Pure Romance in return for the company coming to and remaining in Cincinnati for 20 years. The city administration estimates the deal will lead to at least 126 new high-paying jobs in downtown Cincinnati over three years and nearly $2.6 million in net tax revenue over two decades. Pure Romance is a $100 million-plus company that originally planned to move from Loveland to Cincinnati with support from the state and city, but Gov. John Kasich's administration ultimately rejected state tax credits for the company. Kasich's administration says Pure Romance didn't fit into an industry traditionally supported by the state, but critics argue the state government is just too "prudish" to support a company that includes sex toys in its product lineup.
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST),

City Council on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a measure that will offer benefits to domestic partners of city employees. The measure was introduced by Councilman Chris Seelbach and passed 8-1, the lone "no" vote coming from Charlie Winburn. Seelbach told The Enquirer that domestic partner benefits not only affect same-sex couples, but are also applicable to non-married partners, which is an added attraction to lure talented employees to the city. Covington officials passed a similar measure Tuesday.
If you owe the city of Cincinnati any parking fines, now would be a good time to pay them. Cincinnati police are going to start hearing descriptions of vehicles with multiple outstanding tickets during roll call and then head out to find them during patrols.
Eric Deters wants to be a real lawyer again. The attorney/radio personality/cage fighter says his current predicament — Kentucky law license suspension — is mostly because someone making the rulings "hates him" and is not due to the "ethical lapses" that caused his original 61-day suspension. If Deters can't get the Kentucky Supreme Court to help him out he'll have to go in front of a Character and Fitness Committee and explain all the crazy stuff he's done.
Gov. John Kasich is making changes to the state's Medicaid program, which he and its officials say will save money, though it will cause disruptions in the form of some recipients needing to find new providers, many of which have less access to medical advice and financial help. A similar program implemented in Kentucky last year resulted in complaints that patients couldn't get services authorized and providers didn't get paid on time, according to The Enquirer.

Ohio's Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is granting driver's licenses to some of the children of illegal immigrants, but what qualifies a few and disqualifies others is so far unknown.
When CityBeat last covered the BMV policy ("Not Legal Enough," issue of Feb. 6), Ever Portillo, a 22-year-old from El Salvador, was unable to get his license even when he was accompanied by his attorney at the West Broad Street BMV office in Columbus. Since then, Portillo returned to the same BMV office with his attorney, a community leader from DreamActivist Ohio and a reporter from The Columbus Dispatch and successfully obtained his license.
At the same time, CityBeat received a tip from an anonymous illegal immigrant after she could not get a driver's license for her son because, according to what she heard from the BMV, state policy is still being reviewed.
The differences between Portillo and the woman's experiences are reflected by what seems to be an internal conflict at the BMV, which CityBeat found in a series of internal documents sent by Brian Hoffman, Portillo's attorney. In emails dating back to January, state officials wrote that "foreign nationals" with C33 Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and I-797 documents with case types I-765D and I-821D cannot qualify for driver's licenses. The documents are part of President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which allows the children of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States without fear of prosecution.
But a Feb. 13 memo from the BMV says Ohio has not issued a statewide policy on DACA for driver's licenses and is currently reviewing the process. A Feb. 19 email echoes the memo, stating "neither the Department (of Public Safety) nor the BMV has yet issued a statewide broadcast to provide direction regarding the DACA issue." In a Feb. 21 email, Lindsey Borher, spokesperson at the BMV, told CityBeat, "Our legal department is in the process of reviewing guidance from the federal government as it applies to Ohio law."
The discrepancy between January and February may be attributable to CityBeat originally breaking the story on the state policy, which was followed by a barrage of statewide media coverage on the issue.
If three unscientific, online polls are any indication, Ohio Gov. John Kasich probably shouldn't make plans for a second term.
The Columbus Dispatch, The Cleveland Plain Dealer and Dayton's WRGT-TV (Channel 45) have each had polls asking people to rate Kasich's performance during his first 100 days in office and the results are overwhelming and the same: Most disapprove of his performance or give him an "F."
City Council may vote today on the controversial plan to lease the city's parking assets to fund economic development and temporarily balance the deficit. On Friday, Councilman Chris Seelbach put forward Plan S, which would redirect $7.5 million in casino revenues, cut $5 million based on the results of the city's priority-driven budgeting and allow voters to choose between a $10-per-month trash fee or increase the city's admissions tax by 2 percent. Previously, City Manager Milton Dohoney unveiled Plan B to the parking plan, which would lay off 344 employees, eliminate Human Services Funding and close pools and recreation centers, among other changes. In response, mayoral candidate John Cranley proposed his own plan, which would use casino revenue, parking meter revenue and cuts to "non-essential programs" to tame the deficit. Plan B, Plan S and Cranley's plan all fix the structural deficit in the city's budget, while the parking plan only fixes the deficit for two years. The parking plan was unanimously approved by the Cincinnati Planning Commission Friday, and it appears five council members are ready to give the plan the go-ahead.
Members of Gov. John Kasich's own party are beginning to show skepticism toward the governor's budget proposal, which would expand the sales tax to apply to more services, increase the oil and gas severance tax and make more Ohioans eligible for Medicaid — mostly at the cost of the federal government. Republicans are likely to propose alternatives before a mid-April vote. In a Quinnipiac University poll, a majority of Ohioans approved of the Medicaid expansion but not Kasich's tax plan. CityBeat covered Kasich's budget plan in detail here.
Police are taking measures to prevent traffic problems at the Horseshoe Casino's grand opening tonight. Meanwhile, Indiana casinos are preparing for downturns as the Horseshoe Casino promises a major alternative to tri-state gamblers. During the soft opening last week, Ohio's casino regulator found the Horseshoe Casino would have to fix its security and surveillance before the grand opening. Previous studies found casinos bring job growth at the cost of crime, bankruptcy and even suicide, and a Dayton Daily News report also found the state's casinos are falling short of job projections.
On Friday, the sequester, a series of across-the-board federal budget cuts, kicked in, and it could mean big funding reductions for Ohio's schools. The blunt cuts are largely because Republicans refuse to negotiate with President Barack Obama and Democrats — to the point that Republicans don't even know what the president is proposing.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio is asking the state's Department of Education to expand its seclusion room rules to apply to charter schools. Previous reports found seclusion rooms, which were originally intended to hold out-of-control kids until they calm down, have been largely used for convenience by educators, leading to stricter policies from the Ohio Department of Education. But the regulations currently apply only to traditional public schools, not charter schools.

Gov. John Kasich says he wants to slow down Attorney General Mike DeWine's facial recognition program and work with the Ohio legislature to review if changes are necessary.
"I am concerned about the level of government knowledge about everything about us. I have concerns about the NSA. I have concerns about not using the FISA court. I have concerns about an overzealous group of people that are violating their own rules that have been established," Kasich told reporters today. "When it comes to this issue, there's value in it, but I want to slow down and get this right."
The governor's comments linked the facial recognition program to federal surveillance programs like the NSA and FISA, which have come under scrutiny in the past few months after leaks unveiled broader snooping and data collection of Americans' private communications than previously expected.
Kasich said he understands the tools provided by the facial recognition program could be valuable to law enforcement and security, but he added that he wants to ensure people's rights are being protected.
"When people say I have nothing to hide, that in and of itself, as Peggy Noonan says, begins to erode the First Amendment," he said. "You begin worrying about what you say because somebody's watching you."
The facial recognition program allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information. Previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases.
Shortly after the plan was announced, the American Civil Liberties Union asked DeWine to shut down the program until proper protocols were put in place to protect Ohioans' rights to privacy.
The program was in place for more than two months and used for 2,677 searches before it was unveiled to the public. In that time span, the program wasn't reviewed by an outside group.
On Thursday, DeWine appointed a group of judges, law enforcement and prosecutors to review the program's protocols. The panel has 60 days to come up with recommendations.
Despite Gov. John Kasich's claims to the contrary, the only miracle in Ohio's economy might be how bad the state is doing compared to the rest of the nation.
The proof: Ohio's economy was among just two states in the
nation that actually worsened during September through November compared to August through October, according
to the research department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
Beyond Ohio's borders, Alaska also worsened, two states remained stable and the rest of the nation moved in a generally positive direction.
In other words, while 46 states' economies moved in a generally positive direction, Ohio actually got worse.
The measures come from the State Coincident Index issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia every month. The index combines several economic indicators to gauge the condition of each state's economy. The research department then gauges whether the index improved or worsened after the latest month's data is taken into account.
With the gubernatorial election now less than one year away, the sorry state of Ohio's economy could prove a bad sign for Gov. Kasich's re-election.
Kasich, a Republican, came into office as Ohio's economy began dashing out of the Great Recession stronger than most of the nation — a trend Kasich took to calling the "Ohio miracle."
Ed FitzGerald, Kasich's likely Democratic challenger, has criticized the claim in the past few months as Ohio's economy showed more signs of worsening despite Kasich's promises that his policies would keep the state in the right direction.
One of those policies was privatizing Ohio's development agency and effectively turning it into JobsOhio. In less than three years, the agency has been riddled in multiple scandals following accusations from Democrats that the JobsOhio board hosts various conflicts of interests and lacks transparency when recommending who should get state tax credits.
Kasich also pushed and approved an across-the-board income tax cut earlier in 2013 through the two-year state budget. But because the income tax cut came with a sales tax hike, left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio found Kasich's tax cut heavily favors the wealthy, which calls into question whether the tax cut will actually help Ohio's middle class or economy.
For FitzGerald and other Democrats, the challenge is advocating a progressive agenda that stands in contrast to Kasich's policies. Although they have plenty of criticisms, it remains unclear what Democrats could do if — as looks almost certain — Republicans continue to hold Ohio's legislative chambers.
Then there's the question of whether state policies matter much, if at all. Economists generally agree that state officials tend to dramatize the economic impact of their policies when much bigger factors are at play, particularly as globalization reshapes the national and global economies.
For now, one thing is clear: Kasich's policies haven't been enough to turn around Ohio's sinking economy throughout the past three months.
For the first time since inauguration, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has a positive approval rating, but a plurality of registered voters say Kasich doesn't deserve a second term. The Quinnipac University poll attributed the increase in Kasich's approval rating to "high levels of satisfaction among Ohio voters with life in the Buckeye State." About 42 percent of respondents approved of Kasich, while 35 percent disapproved. About 42 percent said Kasich doesn't deserve a second term, while 36 percent said he does. The poll surveyed 1,165 registered voters with a margin of error of 2.9 percent.
Last night, Cincinnati held its final public hearing on City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget. About 40 people spoke during the meeting, with many voicing concern about Media Bridges funding, which CityBeat recently covered here. The budget has also come under scrutiny due to its privatization of parking services, but Dohoney says the choice is privatization or 344 layoffs.
Cincinnati plans to bolster its green building incentives. City officials are trying to amend the city's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards to encourage higher levels of investment in green projects. Since LEED standards were first approved in 2009, they have been criticized for only offering strong incentives for lower levels of certification. The amendment seeks to make the higher levels of certification more appealing.
University Hospital is being renamed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
An "anti-immigrant bill" proposed by Cincinnati's Ohio Sen. Bill Seitz is not being received well by Innovation Ohio. S.B. 323 seeks to limit workers' compensation to illegal immigrants, but the Ohio policy research group is not sure that's a legitimate problem. The organization is also worried the bill will impose a regulatory burden on the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and Ohio's workers without providing extra funds and training to carry out the regulations.
Ohio is improving in its battle against human trafficking. The state earned a "C" and it was labeled "most improved" in a new report from the Polaris Project. But one state legislator wants to go further by placing tougher standards on "johns" participating in the sex trade. CityBeat previously wrote about the human trafficking problem in Ohio here.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved enough credits to help create about 500 jobs in Greater Cincinnati.
Michigan may have recently passed its anti-union "right-to-work" law, but Gov. Kasich does not share a similar interest.
Kasich will announce his changes to the Ohio Turnpike Thursday and Friday. The governor says his proposed changes will unlock "greater wealth," but critics are worried Kasich is about to sell off a major public asset.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is still defending his decisions during the lead-up the election. Husted has now become infamous nationwide due to his pre-election record, which CityBeat wrote about here.
Even Jesus would be jealous. Science can now turn human urine into brain cells.Gov. John Kasich is refusing to work with Obamacare. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the governor today declined to have the state government run its health insurance exchange. With the move, the federal government will be put in charge of managing Ohio's exchange.
Exchanges are subsidized, heavily regulated insurance markets that will go into effect in 2014 as part of Obamacare. They are supposed to bring down costs by offering more transparent, open competition through a fair, regulated marketplace. As part of Obamacare, states have to decide by Dec. 14 whether they'll manage the exchanges or let the federal government do it.
Conservatives were quick to praise Kasich's decision. Americans for Prosperity applauded the choice in a statement. The Buckeye Institute put up a blog post calling the move "the right decision for Ohio." The Coalition Opposed to Additional Taxes and Spending (COAST) called the move the right choice.
At first, the choice seems like a contradiction for conservatives. After all, they're the group that normally rails against a big federal government. Why let the federal government take over a new, major part of the health-care system? Rob Nichols, Kasich's spokesperson, justified the decision in a statement: "Ohio would have no flexibility to shape an exchange to our needs and its costs will be so high that it just doesn't make sense for the state to operate a health exchange under Obamacare." In other words, even if the state managed the exchanges, it would still have to answer to the federal government.
In his letter, Kasich also stated Ohio will not give up its right to regulate the insurance market. So the federal government will have the final say on exchanges, but Kasich wants to keep the rest of the market under state regulatory control. The state will also keep control over deciding Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) eligibility.
Ohio is not alone in declining to supervise exchanges. Other states have signed off on letting the federal government manage them, including Florida and Texas.
Still, Republicans may want to proceed cautiously. Recent polling has shown that support for repealing Obamacare has massively dropped. That shift could reflect reality catching up to public opinion. Republicans tend to rail against Obamacare by saying it's too expensive, but a Congressional Budget Office report found repealing Obamacare would increase the deficit by $109 billion between 2013 and 2022.
In two days, the physical space that's housed Cincinnati's Gay and Lesbian Community Center for the past 20 years will be vacant, but the organization won't disappear entirely.
Instead, the Center will become a completely virtual informational resource for the region's LGBT community and act as a funding resource for other Cincinnati organizations.
The Center could not be immediately reached for comment on the closure.
A letter from the board of directors sent out on Oct. 28 announced that the decision to close was based on a need to "evolve with the times." The letter states that the organization will continue to answer emails and voicemails and maintain its popular annual fundraiser, Pride Night at Kings Island, and that the board is working on selecting a public location to hold annual meetings.
Pride Night at Kings Island, which has consistently been the Center's most profitable and popular fundraising effort, brought out record crowds this year.
The private, nonprofit volunteer-run foundation, which has been located in Northside for the past 20 years, uses its profits to provide grant to other Cincinnati-area LGBT groups. The organization's first grant for 2014 will provide Cincinnati Pride with $5,000 to expand promotions for Cincinnati Gay Pride on May 31, 2014, and for the city's celebration of Pride Month, which runs through June.

I love this mascara. Just one quick coat and my lashes are very black, thick, long and noticable. If i put on more then 1 coat they give me that false eyelashes look, but if you put too much it can be a bit heavy and decrease the curl. This is a thick slightly waxy formula and takes a few min longer to dry then the thin water mascaras, but if you separate your lashes and let them dry completely they will look amazing all day. If you get the mascara on your skin it wipes off very easily even without water. I like the double sided brush, 1 side separates lashes and the other coats them with a lot of product so its easy to get that false eyelashes look if you alternate between the two sides. Will def buy again!

I like to use this with false eyelashes to get a really dramatic effect. It lasts ages and is cheap. It doesn't flake or come off and has a nice thick brush for application.
The only downside is it takes a bit of effort to remove it, especially if you like it quite thick.

This product is very good value for money. It gives lots of length and volume and is the blackest black. I remember using it in the past but stopped because it flaked. They must have changed the formula because it no longer flakes on me. It can be quite thick or clumpy if you over use it, so be careful with application.

This flakes all over the place once it is dry and also does not build as well as Benefits Bad Gal Lash (30$) or Quo (13$) which are made of a dryer formula that can be applied layer after layer consecutively to have that "false lash" look. I love trying new products and will not be wasting money on this item again.
Oh and did I mention how flaky it is? Seriously, it's THAT BAD that I have to mention it twice!

Definitely not my first choice mascara, but if I've ran out and my favourites aren't in stock, I will opt for this one. Beware that the product is extremely gunky and goes on very thick. If you like thin, dainty lashes this is definitely not for you. I do like a little bit of a spidery, dramatic look so this is okay for me. It layers on super-thick and lengthens your lashes. However, after a few weeks the product becomes too gunky to use and just clumps on your lashes. It's also a bit difficult to wash off, doesn't come off as easily as some other brands I use.
Overall = this product is best for women with thin, longer lashes because this product is very thick!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Thursday July 22, 2010 06:46:51 GMT
PETROZAVODSK, July 22 (Itar-Tass) -- Karelia's Deputy Prime Minister
Valery Boinich, who is the former republican health minister, was charged
with office abuse and corruption."The high-ranking official was involved
in several criminal cases, including office abuse and bribery," a source
in the republican Interior Ministry told Itar-Tass on Thursday.
"Specifically, he was charged with extortion of a bribe, giving a bribe to
an official for deliberately illegal actions, as well as of fice abuse,"
the source said.The detectives found out, in the capacity of Karelia's
health minister Boinich "has taken a 56,000-rouble bribe for lobbying the
interests of a commercial company from St. Petersburg that supplied
medicines to the republic." He is accused of embezzlement of budget
resources that were spent on treatment of several high-ranking officials
from Karelia in Finland, the source said. Alongside, detectives found out
that the wife of the former minister has the property in Bulgaria on the
Black Sea coast that costs more than the salary of the official for six
years, the Karelia police source said.(Description of Source: Moscow

BofA Merrill Lynch Fund Manager Survey Finds Investors Increasingly Bullish As Global Economy Regains Growth Path
Global investors have entered 2013 in buoyant but not yet exuberant mood, according to the BofA Merrill Lynch Fund Manager Survey for January. The new year sees asset allocators assigning more funds to equities than at any time since February 2011, while their confidence in the world's economic outlook has reached its most positive level since April 2010.
Investors' appetite for risk in their portfolios is now at its highest in nine years, while an increasing number judge equities as undervalued – particularly in Europe. Moreover, investors have reduced cash holdings to 3.8 percent from 4.2 percent in December. This marks the most positive reading of this measure of willingness to hold riskier investment assets since April 2011, though it has not reached levels that would represent a contrarian sell signal.
Participants' perception of the U.S. fiscal crisis as the biggest "tail risk" for asset markets has calmed (down nearly 20 percentage points in two months), though it remains their largest concern. Views of China remain very positive, with a net 63 percent still anticipating a stronger economy this year, but one in seven sees a Chinese hard landing as their number one risk.
Investors' bullishness reflects a growing confidence in economic recovery. A net 59 percent now expect the global economy to strengthen this year, compared to a net 40 percent a month ago. This marks the panel's most positive outlook since April 2010. An increasing proportion of respondents expect inflation to pick up as well.
"Following the resolution of the U.S. fiscal cliff, sentiment has surged. Half of investors now tell us that they would sell government bonds to buy higher-beta stocks, which is consistent with increasing growth and inflation expectations, and with our call for a 'Great Rotation' to start in 2013," said Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. "While the survey reveals pockets of exuberance, undemanding valuations in Europe should underpin equities unless earnings growth fails to materialize," added John Bilton, European investment strategist.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Last week I was lucky enough to go to the London premiere of this year's Warren Miller film, ...Like There's No Tomorrow. With last year's offering, Wintervention, being a killer film, ...Like There's No Tomorrow had a lot to live up to.
As you would expect Warren Miller didn't let us down with this year's film. Due to the epic amounts of snowfall last season, some incredible skill, some heart-warming stories centring on legends such as Tom Day, and of course some good humour, the film was a real ball.
To add to the great film that was on offer, the Warren Miller Tour had the usual fun you would expect from the film makers. During the banter-filled interval prizes from the main sponsors, including a pair of Rossignol skis, a Columbia jacket and some Warren Miller film crew kit, were given away. The guys from Nissan, the film's main sponsor definitely looked to have enjoyed the pre-film hospitality and cheered endlessly throughout the break.
... Like's There's No Tomorrow gets into the action pretty quickly with a trip to the Indian Himalayas. Big mountain skier, Lynsey Dyer and the renowned Alaskan heli-guide, Lel Tone, take us on a trip to these magical mountains. With true first descents on huge faces, followed by some sublime tree skiing, that wouldn't look out of place in a Japanese resort, whet the appetite. After taking on the huge lines and never-before-skied sections of the mountains, the girls head to the local resort of Gulmarg to showcase the country's basic, but dedicated skiing scene, while handing out a few tips to the locals.
Another standout section of the film was the trip to Andreas Hatweit's backyard in Sudndalen, Norway. The freestyle skier has built a world class park literally in his garden and the section includes a selection of top skiers, including Jossi Wells and Britain's James Woods, sessioning the park in day time and under flood lights. This is pretty nuts and needs to be seen to be believed. It definitely beats anything I've seen outside any seasonaire accommodation in the Alps!
The Monashee's section featuring the Yeti has to be my favourite. It starts with skier Andy Mahre declaring: "The key to life is to live each day like it's your last day. If you're sitting on the couch, you're obviously not riding powder, so maybe you should get off the couch." The section that has Mahre and Tyler Ceccanti showing the insane powder, endless pillow lines and mouth-watering skiing to be had from BC's infamous Monashee Lodge. If the awesome riding isn't enough, there is also a subplot involving a yeti stalking Mahre and snaking his lines.
The Rahlves Banzai Tour is pure madness and nothing less. Imagine skier-cross with no rules and you have Banzai Downhill, essentially it's four skiers or snowboarders and the first to the bottom, crashes, shoves and cutting one another up is all part of the carnage. As described by one of the participants: "[you] go as fast as you can, down the gnarliest terrain that you can find and hopefully make it to the bottom." Brilliant.
The film ends on a mixed note with a trip to Alaska. The Alaska section starts with the Point North Heli-skiing family, describing their founders Kevin & Jessica Quinn, along with their new baby. The team then head into the Chegach Mountains with Seth Wescott, Tim Durtschi and Kip Garre, showcasing the incredible, steep, deep terrain on offer.
The section then turns into homage to Kip Garre, after informing the audience of his lost life in an avalanche last winter, the moving section showcases Garre's fantastic skiing and love of the mountains, along with Seth Wescott paying tribute to him. The section, and with it the film, is brought to an end with Wescott's quote, which is also the influence behind the title, " "It doesn't matter what's going to happen tomorrow because you are living for the moment…and you are totally engrossed in it…and you are loving being there and being present like that. People who commit themselves to this lifestyle take advantage of it…like there might not be a tomorrow."
...Like There's No Tomorrow is about skiing with that in mind, instead of approaching each run thinking about what's next, it's about enjoying every minute on your skis and snowboard as if they are your last. Out of all the films I have seen this year, Warren Miller's latest offering is the one that has me pining for the mountains the most. I know I'll only have one trip this winter, but I'll be treating each day as if it's my last.
Heading for a chalet holiday is about more than just the snow for some people, there are also the views, the food and the relaxed atmosphere to look forward to.
The best food is fairly easy to work out, if you are heading to a luxury chalet you are likely to get restaurant-quality cuisine and impeccable service, if you head to a 2* property you'll be getting a hearty meal and service from teenage chalet hosts. But which chalets have the best views?
Location, Location, Location
A great view is all about the location of the chalet, the direction it is facing and of course the use of huge picture windows and balconies. So, with this in mind what are the chalets with the best views on our site? This of course is subjective, but here are my favourites.
Chalet Grace, Zermatt
Chalet Grace in Zermatt offers phenomenal views, from the double-height floor to ceiling window views of the Klein Matterhorn in the dining room, to the stunning valley views. One of Europe's most famous and most recognisable mountains, the Matterhorn, can also be seen from the living room's picture windows, or the strategically-placed window in the dining room, which perfectly frames the mountain's peak. It doesn't stop there either, as well as beautiful views across Zermatt itself, you can pop out to the outdoor hot tub which, you guessed it, has views of the Matterhorn.
Perdrix Blanche, Courchevel
The chalet Perdrix Blanche is situated in a quaint corner of Courchevel, down in Courchevel 1550, but it offers stunning views along Bozel Valley and the famous Tarantaise Valley. From the living rooms windows to some of the bedrooms, you have this incredible scenery dropping down the valley toward Brides les Bains and back up the valley to the unspoiled mountains on the opposite side. From the other side of the chalet you can take in the views toward Courchevel 1650 and the national park and, of course, there is the imposing Courchevel 1850 located at the top of the piste.
Chalet Hotel Montpelier, Verbier
Okay, so technically this is a chalet hotel, but as it is essentially just a really big chalet and it has incredible views, it is worth a mention. The hotel pool and sundeck has one of the most incredible indoor views you'll find in the Alps — straight out of the floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows you have an undisturbed, panoramic view of the region. With Mont Fort and Mont Gele both visible from the chalet, this property offers truly stunning views across and around Verbier.
Chalet Haute Cimes, Nendaz
Now, the Chalet Hautes Cimes is a risky one, as the images we currently have been given are artist's impressions and 'what you can expect' pictures from the tour operator, but if they live up the their promise, it will have been worth the risk.
Mira Belum, Meribel
The Mira Belum has a great location with views across the Meribel valley. You can see along the ridge line toward the Olympic Express chairlift, which takes you to St. Martin, and down the valley toward the quaint village of Les Allues. The views give you a real feel for the shape of the Three Valleys and why mother nature's layout makes it one of the best ski areas in the world. If you strain your neck, on a good day you can just about make out the top of the valley and where Meribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens meet.
From beautiful vistas and panoramic mountain views, to deep valleys and national parks, the views on your chalet holiday don't have to be just those of high rise apartment blocks. The Alps have some of the most inspiring and even frightening mountains out there, so why not sit back with a vin chaud and take it all in after a day on the slopes.
So far this week has proven to be an interesting one, the skiing romance that is Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement and Pope Benedict XVI blessed our favourite sport.
The Pope has been quoted saying "Skiing makes us feel small and returns us to our true dimension as creatures... It makes us capable of asking ourselves about the meaning of creation, of looking above, of opening ourselves to the Creator. By contemplating creation, man recognizes the greatness of God". However the real news is all about Prince William and Kate Middleton. Rumour has it the royal couple's relationship blossomed in the romantic, luxury resort of Klosters in Switzerland.
With this in mind that sent me to thinking where would be the best ski resorts to head to for a honeymoon. From the über-resorts of Klosters, Lech and Courchevel 1850 (popular with the rich & famous and the Royal Family), to the intimate resorts of Kitzbuhel, St. Martin & Wengen.
Skiing has played its part with the Royal Family over the years with Diana Spencer, Sarah Ferguson and now Kate Middleton invited on the family ski trips before their respective weddings. Prince Charles remains a keen skier and William and Harry are known to be fans of both Klosters and Verbier. So with a possible spring wedding where would William and Kate go if they were to head for a skiing honeymoon?
Klosters - You would have to say that the Swiss Resort of Klosters would be their most likely destination. A luxury resort, superb skiing and the location of many a picture of the pair skiing together. They have stayed in 5* hotels and in private chalets in the resorts. With accommodation on offer for the über-rich and years of Royal connections the resort definitely has a head start.
Verbier - Not as romantic a resort as Klosters but again a luxury resort with world class skiing and world class private chalets on offer. Home to The Lodge, Richard Branson's über-luxury property, as well as a host of other high end accommodation, they would be well looked after.
Courchevel 1850 - France & Russia's favourite exclusive resort, Courchevel 1850, would also be an ideal location. Already a firm favourite among the Royals and a regular haunt of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. The combination of exclusive hotels, chalets, clubs and restaurants, coupled with one of the world's premier ski areas make Courchevel an attractive destination.
Lech - Lech is often seen as the Courchevel 1850 of Austria. Lech is renowned for über luxury 5* hotels, exclusive bars, restaurants and night clubs and are among the 'it' resorts during New Year. With many an F1 team owner and the truly super-rich heading to Lech you would have to say it is Austria's most likely option. Throw in the awesome Arlberg ski area, linked with St. Anton and St. Christoph and you have a perfect location.
Now where as we may all aspire to staying in £1000 per night accommodation, while rubbing our shoulders with industrial powerhouses and film stars, most of us have more modest budgets and desires for a romantic skiing trip with the other half. Whether on a honeymoon or a romantic week on the slopes there are some fantastic resorts with stunning views, intimate alpine restaurants and affordable bubbly on offer. For those who are looking for a special escape without the celebrity spotting and the prices it brings here are some great resorts.
Kitzbuhel - The quaint resort of Kitzbuhel is often described as the prettiest town in the Alps. The skiing is picturesgue and the hotels range from 5* luxury to family run affairs. Throw in a great mix of night-life from the Michelin star Neuwirt restaurant in the Hotel Schwarzer Adler to the typically entertaining & beef-fuelled Austrian apres-ski.
St. Martin - The hidden gem of the Three Valleys in France, St. Martin de Belleville is a small village at the bottom of the Belleville valley. Offering attractive Savoyard charm, intimate little bars and restaurants and 'the world's largest ski area', on a romantic week for two, do you need anymore?
Grindelwald - The Swiss resort of Grindelwald is one of the country's stunning and stereotypical chocolate box resorts. Set in a picturesque alpine location offering romantic hotels and the superb skiing of the Jungfrau region, with the beautiful resorts of Wengen and Murren included in the lift pass. Grindelwald offers a perfect romantic escape from the hustle and bustle of Europe's major resorts.

iOcean X7 HD
If you're a moderate phone user (like most of us inevitably are), the iOcean X7 HD is plenty of phone for you. It sure isn't anything fancy with its 8MP camera, 4GB storage, and 720p display. But this 5-incher promises longevity with its 3000mAh battery. After all, what's the point in short-lived greatness? These could all be yours for just 799 Yuan (RM420).

Kids selection at Boma
I am debating on whether or not to try Boma for dinner. DD is very picky and I remember a few years ago there was pasta and fries on the kids section. Just wondering what items are available at Boma now for kids, can anyone who has been there recently remember?
There is no such thing as a "kids buffet" or even an "adult buffet" at Disney. They have buffets with one section lower to the floor which has on it items that kids tend to enjoy (such as pizza, hot dogs, chicken strips, mac & cheese, etc.). Any person at the buffet (including children less than age three who are free) can get anything from any part of the buffet.
Kids offerings at Boma are usually spaghetti and meatballs or chicken strips and chips. I don't think I have ever seen pizza or burger there but have not been for about a year.
Just another note: the chefs are Boma are super helpful and will most probably make you something different if necessary. |
We were there Thanksgiving week, and the kids area had pasta (penne shape) with marinara, chicken legs, meatballs, and Mac & cheese. My kids also ate a ton of the fruit.
I have found the chefs at Boma to be very accommodating and if there is nothing that your picky child will eat, I am confident they will find something to satisfy them. In fact, the last two times we went were the days the Butternut Squash soup was not in rotation. When I expressed my disappointment (nicely), both times I was brought out a big bowl of it. It's no wonder it is my only "must do" restaurant after all the visits we have had.:goodvibes
There were not any chicken strips when we were there in August. I asked the waiter and he brought out chicken nuggets for my son who is very picky. They were very accomodating.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:43 AM. |

Prospect Notebook: New Focus on the Running Game Extends to the Minors
It seems like there have been daily reports out of major league camp about how the Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers are focusing more on controlling the running game this year. After every caught stealing or pick off, the topic is brought up, and the answer usually given is that the importance of keeping runners in check has been stressed over and over to the pitchers. In 2012 we saw the Pirates go a little overboard with their focus of...
Pirates Prospects Who Are Eligible For the 2012 Rule 5 Draft
The Pittsburgh Pirates set their 40-man roster today, adding five players and protecting those players from the upcoming Rule 5 draft on December 6th.

Ngoepe signed with the Pirates in late-2008 at the age of 18. This would have been his fifth Rule 5 draft since he...

Now it's your turn to share ideas
on unique ways to use empty tea tins!
Hi Denise~
I've posted a floral arrangement in a tea tin on our blog, Rosemary's Sampler that my sister creates for sale. Just another way to use those old tea tins. Your series has indeed been enjoyable!
Oh dear... now that I look over your past posts, I see it's an idea you already included! Oh well!
Yes, it was a good series - nice to get so many ideas for putting our empty tea tins to use.
I'm planning to try the candle idea, tho with beeswax. I'll let you know how it goes!
OK... how about a pencil holder?
I remember from a long time ago a photo display: using 3 round and/or square covers of tea tins, gluing a corresponding picture on each one. Then the 3 framed pictures were spaced and glued on a length of 2 inch wide black velvet ribbon, square on top, triangular at bottom, tassel added.
Thanks for the ideas, the notebook is my favorite.
Nancy, glad you enjoyed the series and thanks for the pencil holder idea! parTealady and Steph, keep us posted on your projects/ideas! And Kris, thank you for visiting and sharing a neat tea tin idea!
How about if I just share what I'd *like* to make? A few years back, Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion featured an artist who made TEACUPS out of old tin she cut with (tin shears? is that what they're called?). Anyway, wouldn't it be cool to see one made entirely from the tin pieces from tea tins!
Angela, That sounds neat ... actually, stay tuned for tomorrow's post. You may be surprised!

Flat is absolutely great. We had the one which is on the top floor with individual roof terrace. We stayed there for 1 night with a small child. Check-in was organized in-time and we did not have to wait. The flat was very clean and well-furnished. Overall - everything was top-quality. - Anonymous
This is the best holiday apartment we have ever rented! Bright, clean and with a walking distance of almost everything we wanted to visit. We stayed at the number 01 apartment, with three bedrooms and 2 and a half bathrooms. On the ground floor we were pleased to find a spacious living room, a dining room, a well equiped kitchen, the half batroom mentioned before and a solarium with a dining table and chairs and two armchairs. On the top floor we found three bedrooms, one ensuite, all of those - Anonymous
The flat was very nice and spacious, all facilities in good condition; free WiFi and a lot of helpful leaflets and maps. The owner was very kind and the check-in was easy and quick. The area is less touristy, but that can be an advantage as you get to explore the neighbourhood with its wonderful markets, little café and bars. It also has good transport links with two metro stations nearby. - Anonymous
I really thought this hotel was excellent, the roof top bar was awesome, only ate at the hotel for breakfast and room service , but it was great, the staff had no problem making special request breakfast for me each day, when i go back to Barcelona this is where I will stay, and I would highly recommend it - MIchael
I loved the presentation of the flats upon entering, the way the beds were made up, the fact that there was dishwashing liquid, tablets for the dishwasher, toilet paper, rubbish bags etc just to start. Lovely touches were the free bottle of wine and water, it's the little things.... Reception was always friendly and efficient and helpful. Reception and the flats are close together and in close proximity to the airport bus stop. The metro and a market and a grocery store are very close too. - Anonymous
Fantastic location of the apartment. Walking distance to the beach and Sagrada Familia. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The wifi and airconditioning worked perfectly. There is no reception but the staff are always available and very helpful. We arrived early and were allowed into the apartment earlier than 13 o'clock. Our flight was late at night and they were very nice to let us leave our luggage in their office. We have absolutely no complaints and would recommend this a - Anonymous
The place was very clean comfy, totally furnished, well equiped!!! The place was great for the price, very close to Ramblas, with enough supermarkets, internet places,.... - Eric
Our first visit to Barcelona and we will definitely return. We spent 3 days prior to a cruise exploring the city and all it has to offer. Location of apt. was very convenient to public transportation and for private city tour bus. Went to the beach twice and used the subway each way. Many restaurant options available close by. A small market was a few blocks which had the basics. Close to many attractions. - Anonymous
Everything was great!.Modern and clean apartment, staff friendly and helpful and location very good. - Anonymous

Hey kaitlin, with the 60 grams worth of polyfil insulation, this jacket can stand up to some colder temperatures with minimal layering for sure. Also, we can ship Airblaster to Canada. The best thing to do would be to put it in your cart, go to checkout, then put in your postal code so you can check out the shipping options.

2009 Mitsubishi Raider
Last produced: Fall 2009
Total sold in 2010: 4
The Raider is on this list less for how long it's hung around -- production ended only last fall -- but for how few people probably knew it ever existed. Even though the Raider is a competent mid-size truck and arguably looks better than the Dodge Dakota on which it's based, it's never been more than a bit player. With the Mitsubishi/Chrysler marriage on the rocks and the Dakota's own fate uncertain, it's safe to say that 2009 will be the last year for the Raider.

Print out a detour map here.
Los Angeles County Public Works officials are planning two sets of road closures in the coming days.
- All Northbound I-5 lanes will be closing between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Thursday and Friday evenings.
During this closure, traffic will use a detour that includes taking the 126 west, Commerce Center Drive, and Henry Mayo Drive, then continuing north on the Old Rd to the Lake Hughes on-ramp.
The closures will allow workers to construct a new bridge on Hasley Canyon Road, over the I-5.
A separate road project is underway on the east side of Santa Clarita, on Little Tujunga Road, and it too will bring road closures.
Major damage was sustained by the roadway due to a landslide during this year's rains.
11 weeks of construction on the roadway will begin August 19th near the Wildlife Way Station.
For the first 5 weeks, traffic will be allowed on the roadway; however delays of up to 15 minutes are predicted.
During the final phase of construction, expected to be from September 23rd to November 4th, Little Tujunga Rd. will be fully closed to traffic.
Access to the Wildlife Way Station's south gate will be available at all times, but with some delays.
