Was Lamb surprised? 'Yes and no'
We just talked via telephone with Mike Lamb and asked whether he was surprised when informed that he will not be on the Opening Day roster.
"Yes and no," Lamb said. "Yes, because every indication I had from the off-season leading into Spring Training was that I was going to be on the team and see playing time at third base, depending on how Billy [Hall] did.
"Then, when I got to Spring Training, I started going into games in the seventh and eighth inning. And I went almost a week without playing third. It just wasn't adding up. I wasn't totally shocked, but I never dreamed I'd get released again. I don't think I merited that. I thought I played decent enough. My batting average wasn't that great but I certainly don't think I was overmatched."
Lamb is due $3 million this season but only $400,000 of that was to come from the Brewers. He's owed the rest by the Twins, who signed Lamb to a two-year, $6.5 million contract prior to the 2008 season but then released him in August.
He did not sound like a player interested in going to Triple-A.
"I need to talk to my agent [Sam Levinson]," Lamb said. "I don't envision being a Triple-A player. It's not a money issue. My contract is guaranteed. I don't want to go to Triple-A to be somebody's insurance policy. I don't think I deserve that. I'm only 33.
"Hopefully, something will open up with another team. It's a tough spot because everybody else is doing the same thing, trimming their roster to get down to 25. It can be difficult to find a job."
Lamb won't make the cut
A Brewers clubhouse attendant pulled Mike Lamb off the practice field on Tuesday just minutes before the Brewers began their daily stretch, and when Lamb met inside with general manager Doug Melvin and manager Ken Macha, he was told that he will not make the team's Opening Day roster.
What happens next is up to Lamb. The Brewers will place him on waivers by 1 p.m. CT on Wednesday, but it is unclear whether he will be on release waivers or outright waivers. The answer depends on whether Lamb is willing to accept a job at Triple-A Nashville should he clear.
"There are some things I talked to his agent and to Mike about that will come into play tomorrow," general manager Doug Melvin said. "We may know tonight and get back to you."
Lamb was hitting .250 in the Cactus League (13-for-52) with two home runs and 12 RBIs. He racked up six of those RBIs in his last four games, including a pinch-hit, three-run homer on Friday night against the Rangers and another three-RBI performance on Monday against the Mariners.
Melvin said the final decisions have yet to be made, but the departure of Lamb certainly bodes well for Casey McGehee, who is hitting .370 this spring with six homers and 15 RBIs. He hit a game-winning, two-run homer to beat the Mariners on Monday.
Besides his gaudy Cactus League numbers, McGehee brings to the table a right-handed bat for a Brewers bench stocked with lefties. He had proven an above-average defender at third base and has shown he's capable at first base, second base and the outfield as well. He also has catching experience, and could give Macha more flexibility at that position.
Rosenthal picks Gallardo for NL Cy Young
Saw this posted by my friends at Brew Crew Ball: Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com picked Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo as his preseason favorite for the National League Cy Young Award. Rosenthal thinks Gallardo could have a breakout a'la Indians lefty Cliff Lee, who won the AL Cy Young Award last season.
It's certainly an interesting pick in a league that features the likes of Brandon Webb and Johan Santana. And if manager Ken Macha did not want Gallardo to be rattled by the pressure of working Opening Day, I'm guessing the skipper won't be pointing him to FoxSports.com this evening.
(On a totally unrelated note, other than the fact it involves a Brewers fan blog, go check out Al's Ramblings and consider sponsoring him for charity.)
Brewers place Hoffman on DL
A few minutes after Trevor Hoffman told reporters that he was resigned to beginning the season on the disabled list, the Brewers formally made the move.
Hoffman was placed on the 15-day DL Monday, retroactive to March 27, with a strained oblique muscle on the right side of his ribcage. He will miss at least the first four game of the regular season.
"Basically, that's all that's left," Hoffman said of his move to the DL. "You're talking about not having been off the mound in two weeks and it would be silly to try to rush it [for Opening Day]."
Gameday: March 30 vs. M's (Braun, Counsell back in)
Left Fielder Ryan Braun (ribs) and infielder Craig Counsell (right knee) return to the "A" game lineup today, when the Brewers host the Mariners at Maryvale Baseball Park.
"I'm back," Braun declared after meeting with manager Ken Macha
Macha set his lineup just before the clubhouse was closed to reporters, and here it is:
Rickie Weeks 2B
Corey Hart RF
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Mike Cameron CF
Bill Hall 3B
Craig Counsell SS
Mike Rivera C
Manny Parra LHP
Relievers Carlos Villanueva and Mitch Stetter are scheduled to follow Parra, so Stetter apparently will not head to Minor League camp to face a series of left-handed hitters, after all.
In news this morning, general manager Doug Melvin infomed pitchers Lindsay Gulin and Wes Littleton and catcher Carlos Corporan this morning that they will not make the Opening Day roster. All three players will travel with the Brewers to Los Angeles for a pair of exhibitions against the Dodgers, and will also participate in team workouts in San Francisco on April 5 and 6 before reporting to Triple-A Nashville.
Progress for Hoffman
Brewers closer Trevor Hoffman played catch Sunday for the first time in more than a week, and while he's still likely to begin the season on the disabled list, at least it was a step forward.
Hoffman had been shut down since March 20 because of a strained muscle on his right side. If he can get healthy in a hurry, the Brewers could backdate a stint on the DL such that Hoffman would only have to miss the first four games of the regular season.
"We still have a long way to go, but we're making progress," Brewers manager Ken Macha said.
Hoffman is likely to remain with the team for treatment when the Brewers break camp Thursday night and travel to California for two exhibitions against the Dodgers and then the season-opening series against the Giants. At some point he could be sent out — either to Triple-A Nashville or Class A Wisconsin — for a rehabilitation outing or two.
Gameday: March 29 at Giants
It's Bullpen Day at Scottsdale Stadium, as both the Brewers and Giants hide their schedule starters in anticipation of the season-opening series in San Francisco. The Giants beat writers just departed for the team's Minor League complex, where Randy Johnson is starting a Triple-A game at 1 p.m. CT. Milwaukee's Yovani Gallardo will work a similar game at Maryvale Baseball Park at 3 p.m. CT. The two are scheduled to face each other on April 8 at AT&T Park, Game 2 of a three-game series.
Left fielder Ryan Braun is scheduled to play behind Gallardo in that Minor League game as he continues to test his strained ribcage muscle. I believe that Craig Counsell (right knee) is also scheduled to appear.
Meanwhile, Mark DiFelice is scheduled to work three innings in the "A" game against the Giants. Here's how they'll line up:
Rickie Weeks 2B
Tony Gwynn Jr. LF
J.J. Hardy SS
Prince Fielder 1B
Corey Hart RF
Mike Cameron CF
Bill Hall 3B
Jason Kendall C
Mark DiFelice RHP
Todd Coffey, Mitch Stetter, Jorge Julio, Wes Littleton and Lindsay Gulin are also scheduled to work. It's the Brewers' fourth game this spring at Scottsdale Stadium, and as any fans who have been here can attest, we're not complaining.

17.06.04 - Former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman stopped Rob Calloway in the second on Thursday night at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, Maryland. After chasing his overmatched and undersized opponent around the ring in round one, Rahman finally caught up with him in the second and dropped Calloway (44-5-1) with an overhand right at the two minute mark. Rahman retained his position as the mandatory challenger to WBA champion John Ruiz. However, the win doesnt guarantee a rematch with Ruiz, who is reportedly favoring a unification fight with any of the other three heavyweight champions rather then facing Rahman again, who he easily defeated in December 2003.

- Apply die-cut strip. Trim die-cut strip so there are nine openings. Carefully remove adhesive paper cover along one side 1/2" from of edge. Apply to cover, being sure to overlap edge where red and green print cardstock meet. Slide punched letters under each opening and adhere with a drop of adhesive. Remove remaining paper cover and adhere rest of die cut to book front. Trim shanks from small brads and adhere brad tops between each letter with adhesive.
- Embellish. Apply leafing pen to bookplate and small brads. Stamp date with Moss ink on cream cardstock. Adhere behind bookplate. Place brads in holes of book plate and adhere all to cover using dimensional glue dots.
- Make closure. Use eyelet setter to place eyelets on front and back covers, centering on edge opposite spine. Thread 5/8" ribbon through and tie a knot in each end to secure. Add a drop of adhesive to secure ends of ribbon.
- Finish. Cut 20 lengths of ribbon one yard long. Tie around spine, knotting at top of spine and allowing ends to hang. Tie bells to each ribbon end, securing with a drop of adhesive. Arrange cards in ascending size and slip into ribbons on inside.

"Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom." — Maria Weston Chapman
"Surely women's liberation is a most unpromising panacea. But the movement is working politically, because our sexuality is so confused, our masculinity so uncertain, and our families so beleaguered that no one knows what they are for or how they are sustained." — George Gilder
"Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your ''emancipation.'' You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields -- discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West -- superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood." — Henrik Ibsen
"Movements born in hatred very quickly take on the characteristics of the thing they oppose." — J. S. Habgood
"The fundamental impulse of the movement is neither masturbatory nor concretely lesbian -- although it of course offers warm house to both these possibilities; it is an impulse to maidenhood -- to that condition in which a woman might pretend to a false fear or loathing of the penis in order to escape from any responsibility for the pleasure and well-being of the man who possesses it." — Midge Decter
"Liberation is an ever shifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises. It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred -- it is the amphetamine of its believers." — Arianna Stassinopoulos
"One of the reasons for the failure of feminism to dislodge deeply held perceptions of male and female behavior was its insistence that women were victims, and men powerful patriarchs, which made a travesty of ordinary people's experience of the mutual interdependence of men and women." — Rosalind Coward
"In the battle of the sexes, woman gains her greatest victory by surrendering." — Source Unknown
"The suffering of either sex -- of the male who is unable, because of the way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a child to stay placidly within the house as an adult -- this suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change." — Margaret Mead
"Whether we regard the Women's Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships." — Arianna Stassinopoulos
"Romantic love, in pornography as in life, is the mythic celebration of female negation. For a woman, love is defined as her willingness to submit to her own annihilation. The proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover." — Andrea Dworkin
"Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less." — Susan B. Anthony

Feature trailer for Tonight You're Mine.
Set against the picturesque yet raucous backdrop of a rock n roll music festival, the film follows strutting indie music star Adam (Treadaway) and feisty punk-rock girl band leader Morello (Tena), as they are handcuffed together as part of a backstage altercation. When the two feuding musicians cant be unhitched from each other, even to perform their separate gigs, it leads them down a comedic, frustrating and ultimately romantic path.

2015 Corvette's new Valet Mode gives owners peace of mind
August 21, 2014
General Motors has announced that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette will get a new Valet Mode for its Performance Data Recorder, which will allow owners to disable the infotainment system, lock any interior storage and record vehicle data – giving drivers peace of mind when their car is with a valet.
The Corvette's Performance Data Recorder (PDR) is pretty sophisticated as it is. It allows you to record HD video, in-car audio and vehicle data including speed, engine RPM, gear position and more. It also includes telemetry software which lets users analyze their laps and improve times.
The new Valet Mode can be turned on through the settings menu, and drivers can activate it using a unique four-digit code. Once entered, the storage bins and glove box will automatically lock, and the radio and infotainment system is disabled. Video, audio and vehicle data is also recorded.
Once a valet has returned the car, owners will be able to watch video of its time away on the Corvette's 8-inch color touchscreen when the car is parked. Alternatively, the footage can be downloaded to a computer as there's a dedicated SD-card slot in the glove box for recording and transferring data.
The PDR system can record video with three data overlay options ranging from Track Mode, Sport Mode, Touring Mode and Performance Mode. PDR was developed with Cosworth, a British motorsports-engineering company that supplies Corvette Racing team's data acquisition and telemetry electronics systems.
The video below shows the system in action.
Source: General Motors
Why don't they go a massive, tiny step further and simply retune the engine to where it puts out just enough horsepower to move the car around? That would remove the incentive to play hotrodder, rather than simply recording malfeasance after the fact.
Malatrope21st August, 2014 @ 01:51 pm PDT
I have an switch on my URQ that will not let the engine rev above 4000 rpm, and I would never let a valet touch my bitch.

I have cradle of rome downloaded on my computer love it a lot I also just bought Cradle of persia it is so fun and addictive. Cannot wait for cradle of rome 2
dchism56, I've got the both Cradles too. My fav is Cradle of Rome … I can't wait to play the sequel. I read their Developer's Diary and learnt they added tons of interesting tricks. It'll be really a worthy game!!!
Version: Full Pros: good graphics
Cons: have to do the same levels over and over instead of just redoing the level you failed Comment: love the chain matching as I can control the game better. With regular match 3 you are at the mercy of whatever falls down. This is my favorite game of all time. It gave me many wonderful hours of play Version: Full Pros: Praticamente perfetto. Ottima giocabilità, grafica, bonus, modalità di costruzione dell'impero, modalità di assegnazione dei cittadini. Cons: Se proprio devo trovare un difetto ... forse per le musiche si sarebbe potuto fare di meglio. Comment: Peccato per la mancata traduzione in lingua italiana. Ma cosa dici? Io le musiche di questo gioco le adoro! Molto meglio di cradle of Rome...
per l'italiano...beh i produttori sono bielorussi, l'inglese и una lingua internazionale che tutti dovrebbero sapere..d'altronde i giocatori provengono da tutte le parti del mondo e penso che non si riesca a tradurre in tutte le lingue (sennт i giochi non uscirebbero mai col tempo che ci vuole)
no because i don't know where is this maybe cardle of persia haven't credit menu??
I've checked it for you When you start playing the game you should choose MENU and the chapter info. There you'll find credits... Version: Full Pros: Nice graphics, nice game play. Reletively easy for children to complete. Cons: Gets a little boring after a while. Comment: I liked this enough to buy it but it has a play life in that it DOES get a little boring, not enough of a game to encourage return visits... Dawndust, I like Cradle Of Persia too... but I like Cradle Of Rome even better! Have you ever played it?
:) Yes, I've played Cradle of Rome, I must make comment on that, too, I think :)
I love this game as well!
What about Cradle of Persia no. 2? Any chance soon? my favourite game ... Cradle of Persia 2 ... as soon as possible ... I hope
Version: Demo Pros: excellent Cons: none Comment: very good game when it comes down to a game that just empties your stomach when all the tiles come down this is the one for you. graphics great. excellent even for my grandchildren(of age) I allow them to play even when it gets a little tiresome.
*sigh* wish it would run on my system (Win 7, 64 bit), but nope *hangsheadandsighs* So I'm waiting waiting for for the 2nd version. Btw. you guys have an idea how hard it can be to be patient? *bitesfingernails*

Imagine for a moment that your mailbox began to fill with letters from the Lord — written by the very hand of God himself. What would he say to you, and how would you react to his letters? God has a spiritual way of knowing what we need and who we are as a part of the body of Christ. His hope is to interact with his creation and share the gospel news of salvation. I can recall waiting to get a letter from the mailman. It did not matter what it was, but knowing it was for me made waiting well worth it. "… so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11 NIV
I found myself by the mailbox every day to see if my letter had arrived. Each time it did not come, I became frustrated, sad and disappointed with the hope that the next day my letter would be waiting for me. "When I am afraid, O Lord Almighty, I put my trust in you. I trust in God and am not afraid; I praise him for what he has promised. What can a mere human being do to me?" Psalms 56:3-4 The Good News Bible. Waiting was the hardest part. On one hand I was joyful that my letter was coming, but on the other hand I was miserable that it did not come when I wanted it to. However, the day my letter showed up in the mailbox, I could hear my mother saying, "Son, you've got mail." The pain of waiting was finally over, and my strength and hope were restored. "I wait patiently for God to save me; I depend on him alone. He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated." Psalms 62 1-2 The Good News Bible.
God desires to send us mail every day of our lives as we look to him to show us the blessings he has promised us through reading his holy word, the Bible. "From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. The Word was the source of life. The Word (his love letters) became a human being, and full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only son." John 1: 2-4, 14 The Good News Bible. It is his spiritual mail that we should be waiting on and not the mail that comes from man. Although ordinary mail is important to us, we should not depend on it to bring us eternal happiness and daily devotional hope in a world that seems to be filled with doubt and despair. God's word through his son, Jesus, will stand the test of time, but the words of man are just meaningless words that have the potential to harm and hurt us.
As a little boy I recall the phrase "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." I am sure you would agree we need to live by that statement today. We need not worry about man's words if we are listening to what God is saying: (1) that he loves you, (2) that he forgives you and (3) that he sent his only begotten son into the world to save it from the evil one. So you see, God's Word is a sure thing, and it comes alive in us when we believe in it, read it and work to live by the Word wholeheartedly. We can take comfort in the old Sunday school song that says, "I believe in the Word of God; every promise is true. I believe it; don't you? I believe in the Word of God." Yes, my dear friends, YOU'VE GOT MAIL.
Maybe today, God will remind you of his eternal love … of his strength to help you in your time of trouble as you serve his people ... of his joy at your success as a new believer … or of his readiness to forgive your shortcomings. Either way, his letter to you becomes a personal invitation to receive the free gift of salvation that comes no matter what you've done in the past. God is our everlasting postmaster general who says, "I will deliver my word to your soul, through a snow storm of life, or through Satan's harmful temptations; I will fill up the mailbox of your heart."
In a very real sense, every one of us has received a love letter from God, his holy Word, the B-I-B-L-E. Here are two love letters that will serve as a practical reminder of God's reassuring thoughts for you as you continue to offer a hand of service to those within your care and love. Think of him as a loving Father, offering comforting words to you, his child. I pray that you will find peace and encouragement as you read through these letters from the Lord written just for you.
My dear child,
Obedience is better than sacrifice. Be still. Be silent. Stand and see my salvation. I am freeing you from all bondages. You will feel the release. There will be nothing standing between you and me.

I will manifest my power through you. Listen. I will speak clearly. My burden is light. Trust me to use you at the right time and in the right place. Rest in me. Enter into the rest I have for you. Stand still. You will hear me. You will obey. It is no longer you but I who am living in you. "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
GOD Your Father
My dear child,
It is no longer you that lives, but it is I living in you. You are mine. You are my vessel. I am using you. Yield yourself to me daily. Seek me with your whole heart. I am in you. Be still and know that I am God. I will manifest my power through you as you yield your body to me. I will love through you. My love will flow through you to others.

I love you. I am giving you joy. I am giving you peace. I am giving you love. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me." Psalm 23:4
GOD Your Father
Have you heard from him yet? Do you understand what he has said to you through these letters? Understanding comes from reading and hearing his Word, and living by it through faith. His letters of love have the power to change and keep your life on track. Always know that he loves you very much. He wants the best for you as you serve him, and encourage others to know he is the route to restoration, the truth during trials and the light that brightens the darkness of our land around the world. So, check your spiritual mailbox today because YOU'VE GOT MAIL!

Analyze Your Apps
What applications do you use on your computer What applications do your clients or potential clients use Analyzing them in terms of the computing process can help elevate your troubleshooting game by a huge factor Take for example Microsoft Excel, a program designed to let you take numbers and turn them into charts, among other things When you sit down to work in Excel, you load it from the hard drive into memory; then you input information via the keyboard and columns with the mouse Every click requires the CPU to analyze and update RAM and the video card information the night before, or waste time reinstalling printer drivers when the real issue is a stalled print job in the print queue Dealing with Customers
When you deal with users, managers, and owners who are frustrated and upset because a computer or network is down and they can t work, your job requires you to take on the roles of detective and psychologist It takes skill to talk with frazzled and confused people and get answers to questions about how the PC got into the state it s in It s important to be able to communicate clearly and effectively Plus, you need to follow the rules of tech-person decorum, acting with personal integrity and respect for the customer Finally, use assertive communication to empathize with and educate the user Great techs spend the time needed to develop these essential skills Eliciting Answers
Your job as a tech is to get the computer fixed, and the best way to start that process is to determine what the computer is doing or not doing You must start by talking to the customer Allow the customer to explain the problem fully while you record the information Once the person has described the situation, you must then ask questions This process is called eliciting answers Although each person is different, most users with a malfunctioning computer or peripheral will be afraid and often defensive about the problem To overcome this initial attitude, you need to ask the right questions and listen to the customer s answers Then ask the proper follow-up questions Always avoid accusatory questions because they won t help you in the least What did you do generally gets a confused or defensive Nothing in reply, which doesn t get you closer to solving the problem First, ask questions that help clarify the situation Repeat what you think is the problem after you ve listened all the way through the user s story Follow up with fact-seeking questions When did it last work Has it ever worked in this way Has any software changed recently Any new hardware 651 20: The Complete PC Tech
By keeping your questions friendly and factual, you show the user that you won t accuse them or judge their actions You also show them that you re there to help them After the initial tension drops away, you ll often get more information, for instance, a recitation of something the user might have tried or changed These clues can help lead to a quick resolution of the problem It s important to remember that you may know all about computer technology, but the user probably does not This means they will often use vague and/or incorrect terms to describe a particular computer component or function That s just the way it works, so don t bother to correct the user Wherever possible, avoid using jargon, acronyms, or abbreviations specific to computers They simply confuse the already upset user Just ask direct, factual questions in a friendly tone using simple, non-jargon language to zero in on what the user was trying to accomplish and what happened when things went wrong Point at the machine or go to a working PC to have the user show what went wrong or what he or she did or tried to do Although you don t want to overwhelm them, people do usually want to get a handle on what you are doing although in a simplified way Don t be afraid to use simple analogies or concepts to give them an idea of what is happening If you have the time (and the skills), use drawings, equipment, and other visual aids to make technical concepts more clear If a customer is a closet tech and is really digging for answers to the point that it s affecting your ability to do your job compliment their initiative and then direct them to outside training opportunities Better yet, tell them where they can get a copy of this book!

Every year, Jawarski Pollock has to silence the critics who say the 5-foot-8 receiver is too small to play football. When he was a senior at Southeast High, college suitors were few and far between despite the impressive numbers he put up. Entering his fifth year at UNC, the 170-pounder is on the verge of becoming the Tar Heels' career-leading receiver in three categories. He will also get his degree with two majors.

Jason Stipp: I'm Jason Stipp for Morningstar.
We got the ADP private payrolls report on Wednesday; it showed that 209,000 private sector jobs were added to the economy in March.
What does that mean for the government's employment report that's going to be released on Friday? Here with me to offer their take is Morningstar's Vishnu Lekraj--he's an equity analyst covering the employment sector--and Bob Johnson, our director of economic analysis.
Thanks for joining me, guys.
Vishnu Lekraj: Thank you.
Bob Johnson: Glad to be here.
Stipp: We looked to the ADP report; it was about as expected. Vishnu, what was driving those job gains that we saw there, 200,000-plus?
Lekraj: Small and medium-size businesses in the service sector again drove the growth mainly for this report. Now what is really positive is that the medium-sized businesses are becoming a bigger and bigger piece of this puzzle. In the past few months, it was the smaller businesses. Now it's moving on to the medium-sized businesses, which is very good news. Construction was up again, 13,000, which is very good. The financial sector, which is a little bit of a surprise in my opinion, went up 8,000--given what's going on in terms of layoffs and reorganizations in the financial sector, that's a pleasant surprise.
Stipp: Bob, I know that you've been waiting for the services sector to show some signs of strength. We've seen a lot more strength throughout the recovery on the manufacturing side. We also got the ISM index, and it disappointed some people that were watching the market today. What do you make of the services strength that we saw in jobs in the ADP report versus the services ISM index that came out?
Johnson: With all of the government statistics, I've learned that you really have to take a look across a broad cross-section, and not take things out of context too much, because we had a really good report out of the personal spending report that [showed] people were gearing up their spending in services in February. We saw the employment part of ADP on services look better. The ISM report on the services industry, which we got today, was just a little disappointing, but it was still a large positive number, and the strongest part of that index was the employment index, which was actually up, which indicates that people don't think the slowness that they saw in the top-line index will continue in the months ahead. They're building employment for months ahead. They're being more optimistic.
Stipp: So definitely when you're looking at services employment it looks like we're seeing some strength there.
Vishnu, we did see a little bit of moderation from the February to the March numbers in ADP. Is there anything that's statistically valid?
Lekraj: No. At this point in the recovery, the growth number or the percentage growth is not so much of a huge deal. What you have to watch is the actual number that's coming out, because if that number is above 200,000--a normalized level of recovery during a normal cycle--then that's key. If it falls below that mark, then you're in trouble. But as long as it stays at that mark or above, you're in good shape.
Stipp: Bob, if we see some sort of slowdown in jobs from February to March, just a little bit, what would you make of that?
Johnson: I'd say it's probably weather-related. We've had three or four months here of above-average weather, and there is some seasonality with construction workers and a lot of other jobs that are dependent on the weather that go up and down, and we've had better expected weather, and that's really helped keep employment up in months when there's huge seasonal adjustment factors. So we usually have a January and February that are really soft, and then you have a big bounce in March. Well, this time we had a pretty strong January and February already. So we'll get less of a bounce. It doesn't mean the economy is getting any weaker. What it means is that the weather has just finally leveled out and caught up with us a little bit.
Stipp: Nice weather pulled some of that employment forward into the January-February months that you normally would see not until March in other years.
Johnson: That's why everybody is looking for the number tomorrow to be softer than in February. Again it's not a slowing; it's just weather-related. And I think it's more of a guess. We might get lucky and still have a great number tomorrow.
Stipp: Vishnu, I want to turn and talk about the Fed. The Fed has been in the news a lot this week. Things the Fed said may have been moving the market, based on whether the Fed's going to do more stimulus or not.
I think the employment number is obviously something that Fed's going to be watching very closely in making that decision. From your read, where is the Fed right now? What's their policy and what are they looking for to make that decision on more stimulus or no?

About Marie Bulger
I will start out by saying that Gramma Moses and I have a lot in common. Now, having gotten that out of the way, I can say that I believe I am the world's most excited artist. I has all happened so fast for me, even though it took me a lifetime to get here.
I was a business woman all my life and although, looking back on it, I did tend to enjoy decorating, paintng and anything that had to do with creative change, but I never thought of myself as artistic.
One day, standing in my laundry room with a black paint-filled paint brush in my hand (I was always painting something around the house) for some unknown reason I decided that the wall needed a tree on it. From there I painted all four walls with the four seasons. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to try my hand on canvas and thus began the latest primitive artist on FAA. You see, I have rhumatoid arthritis and I had to give up many activities, but still keep my hands busy and painting fit the bill. Don't feel sorry for me because I have never been happier. I want to paint day and night and I have found a second life. It came when needed and appreciated and I expanded my abilities. They say we never fully enjoy all we are capable of and I do believe I am proof of that in part
I then had the privilage of joining Fineartamerica with so many talented artist. After that I asked for and received membership at the 7Arts Gallery near my home. There I am involved with professionals who are so generous to me with suggestions and help.
I want to thank some people in my life who have kept me inspired by their constant encouragement about my painitng.
First, my Husband Dave who reminded me while looking at a scene I was doing that when someone is standing in the water they have water in back of them as well as in front.
My son Dave and his wife Julie who are great fans. Julie is a 'one-word' admirer, that is: 'Wow', 'Amazing', 'unbelievable', etc. and I love her 'one words'. Dave tells me he will wait until I get better before he takes a painting. He now has four up in his house.
My two extraordinary granddaughters, Nicole and Shai, who are so talented in their own right and who have two of my paintings, never stop raving about my art. and who can bring me to tears in an instant with their compliments about my art..
And .there is one more person, my dearest friend, Mary who has gone out of her way to make sure I keep painitng. Who else but a good friend would drive for an hour to see my paintings in the gallery when she has already seen them in my home.
I love you all and thank you.
And I want to thank Faa for this wonderful website for artists to spread their wings. And then a thank you to 7Arches Gallery for putting my artwork up next to people who are professionals and take my breath away with their abilities.
I will end by saying that II will never stop painting and I will never stop taking lessons and I believe I will never stop be excited. .

Titan T-51 Mustang
N.Z's flagship replica warbird, 28 nationwide...join the latest fighter squadron!6 under construction in Australia, and more coming...
This stunning all metal aircraft comes as a comprehensive kitset with these great features...
American based Titan Aircraft have incorporated lightweight construction methods and hi-tech systems in the T-51 Mustang not commonly found in other comparably priced aircraft. This, combined with Titan Aircraft's renowned reputation for high quality products, superior aircraft performance, and outstanding customer support, is sure to provide the pilot and kit builder a very pleasurable experience and is the reason the kit continues to develop and be sold around the world proving especially popular in N.Z. due to its low cost, Microlight capability, and freedom to customize. The T-51 is a stunning 3/4 scale replica P-51D Mustang, and more recently a razorback B model, combining friendly low speed handling characteristics with aerobatic agility and high performance. Titan Aircraft, also manufacturers of the very popular Titan Tornado microlight, originally designed the T-51 to operate around the Rotax 912 powerplant. The Titan T-51 has since gone on to develop and operate with a number of automotive based V-6 engines bringing it that step closer to its big brother. The sleek lines of the T-51 allow for it's impressive performance figures when coupled with a hydraulic constant speed or variable pitch 4 blade propeller and either the Rotax or V-6 powerplants.
Suzuki V6 and Honda V6 engine options give the T-51 slightly increased performance over the Rotax powered models, especially in the usable load and climb area, not to mention the increased prop diameter and growling engine note. The aircraft comes as a comprehensive kitset with an estimated build time starting at 2000 hours (this figure can vary significantly depending on installation options, builder experience and skill, paint, avionics, etc.) and includes all required material, components and fasteners. A significant portion of the kit is assembled at the factory, including the entire centre section complete with landing gear installed, the wing and horiz stab leading edges, the vertical stabilizer, control surfaces, the entire fuselage steel structure, and many other parts that remove the possibility of builder error and aid in a smooth building process. The kit does not however include the engine, propeller and instruments because of different customer preferences. When equipped with the Rotax 912S engine, controllable propeller, and a full compliment of necessary flight instruments; we expect the finished T-51 could cost under US$90,000.00. This is a very customisable aircraft that can be tailored to suit a variety of options. Quick build kits are also available - "Fast Build with Flush Rivets", these are built to factory specs in the Phillipines with solid rivets instead of the usual pop rivets and are complete apart from plumbing, wiring, avionics, some finishing details, and engine installation...great for those not interested in building and waiting, or those without kitset construction knowledge and experience.

Cumberlands' Appalachian Ministries prepares for the summer |
WILLIAMSBURG, Ky.-The Appalachian Ministries summer team is back on campus at the University of the Cumberlands preparing for a summer full of children's ministry. Students arrived June 1 for a week of training, and began ministering June 7. "This is our training week," said Magan Atwood, campus minister and director of Appalachian Ministries. "We're learning Vacation Bible School things this week, learning to share our testimony and also learning how to lead a child to Christ." The theme for the summer is Love in Action, which was the name of Appalachian Ministries when it originated in the 1970s. "I'm really excited about getting to work with kids all summer and show them the love of Jesus," said summer team member Sarah Kamalian. The students are also busy preparing their own hearts through spiritual gift inventories and completing a study on Crazy Love, a book by Francis Chan. When asked about some of their main goals, the students all agreed that it was to grow in Christ. |

Shifting of ITBP may be reviewed: Dhumal Sobriety marks New Years Eve
Rural Women brimming with confidence Winter carnival begins today |
Shifting of ITBP may be reviewed: Dhumal Shimla, January 1 The Chief Minister, Mr Prem Kumar Dhumal, said he had talked to the Home Minister, Mr L.K. Advani, about the move of shifting the ITBP and the latter had assured to reconsider the matter. This was for the first time that terrorists struck in Kangra district. They had so far been operating in Chamba district which was considered as the safe haven by them whenever the security forces mounted pressure on them in the Jammu and Kashmir territory. There were reports that the ITBP personnel guarding the Himachal borders along the terrorism-hit Doda district of Jammu, have received marching orders for Jammu and Kashmir as the Army has moved to the forward posts because of the tension on the Indo-Pakistan border. Soon after receiving report about the Damtal incident, the Chief Minister held a meeting to review the situation. The Home Secretary, Mr Dev Swaroop, and the DGP, Mr B.L. Pandit, were present at the meeting. Highly placed sources said the terrorists opened fire on the Army personnel at Damtal with AK-47 rifles as four empty magazines had been found there. Efforts were being made to establish as to from where the terrorists infiltrated into the Himachal territory at Damtal which is sandwiched by Punjab on both sides. The Himachal Pradesh police will be deployed in the Chamba areas with the removal of the ITBP personnel and it is to be seen as to how far the arrangement succeeds. During winters the entire area gets snowbound and the movement of terrorists is restricted through the high passes and the real test lies when the snow melts in the summers. It is learnt that the police has been ordered not to scale down the vigil on the entry points in the state because of reports of some suspected militants having already infiltrated in the Jhakri area beyond Rampur. Earlier, talking to TNS, Mr Dhumal said his effort this year would be to take steps to make the state financially self-sufficient. He blamed the previous Congress government for the financial mess and said the tax-free budgets presented by them for 10 years to gain popularity had landed the state in a crisis. Had the Congress government imposed a token amount of taxation, it would have helped generate some funds. Mr Dhumal said although there was not much scope for imposing taxes here, but people had now started
realising that they cannot depend on doles and had to contribute something for the development of the state. The globalisation of economy had also come as an eye opener for the people. The state would start earning more than Rs 120 crore annually as its 12 per cent free share by the end of the year with the phased commissioning of the Nathpa Jhakri, Baspa and Chamera projects. Besides, 25 per cent equity share would also be received from the Nathpa Jhakri project. The Congress government did not concentrate on tapping the power potential, whereas the present BJP government had created an atmosphere of competition between the HPSEB, the NHPC, the NTPC and the private sector for executing the hydroelectric projects. The functioning of the HPSEB had been improved without trifurcation, he said. Steps had been taken to improve the economic condition of farmers of the earlier neglected areas of Sirmour and Lahaul-Spiti by opening a processing unit for ginger at Kala Amb and the other for processing of hops. The hops of Lahaul-Spiti had been appreciated by the industry, he said. |
Sobriety marks New Years Eve Shimla, January 1 There was no untoward incident during the celebrations, which continued till past midnight, though the police arrested 12 youths for creating nuisance under the influence of liquor. New Year revellers assembled at the Ridge in large numbers and danced till the wee hours. The atmosphere was festive but rowdyism usually associated with the winter revellers was missing. The celebrations remained confined to the Ridge and there was plenty of room for visitors to enjoy a stroll on the Mall. A large number of women were present on the Mall till late hours. Normally, groups of rowdy revellers, mostly under the influence of liquor, virtually take over the Mall and the Ridge much before sun set, giving a hard time to security men. Members of the fair sex dare not venture out as the crowds indulge in hooliganism. Brawls among groups of tourists have been a common feature. This year things turned out to be different and those who were present really enjoyed the celebrations. Tourists had no problems in parking their vehicles, as there was space. They were also able to find accommodation at reasonable rates due to low occupancy in hotels. There were no traffic jams. Official figures indicate that only 974 tourist vehicles entered the town on the New Years eve as against 1360 last year. Overall there was a 50 per cent decline in the tourist influx from Christmas to the New Year. The weather God did not oblige the winter revellers with a snowfall. They all returned disappointed this morning. The hotels also wore a deserted look with only a few honeymooners left behind. In the absence of snow, Asias oldest natural ice-skating rink was the only attraction and it did attract good crowds over the past one week. Little work was done in the offices today as officers and employees spent most of the time exchanging greetings. Dr Suraj Bhan, the Governor, and Mr P.K. Dhumal, the Chief Minister, also exchanged greetings, with the people. Mr Dhumal was the first to call on the Governor to greet him. Ministers, MLAs, chairmen and vice-chairmen of various Boards and corporations, vice-chancellors of universities, senior officers of the state government and common people also called on the Governor and the Chief Minister. |
Rural Women brimming with confidence Nalagarh The role of these women was, uptill now, confined to looking after household chores with only a small fraction of them being literate and the majority belonging to the minority community. The initial attempts of the project officials to get them to attend the meetings where the outline of the whole idea was being discussed met with only a lukewarm response, recalls assistant project director, Dr Gurnam Singh. Women presented their scepticism about the whole idea initially. It was after a series of meetings with the villages that the idea got registered with the people and they decided to extend their whole-hearted support to the project activities. Residing in isolated hamlets of small villages like Nanowaal, Mandiarpur, Nahar Singh, Kheri etc., having barely any connectivity to roads, the region also faced the fury of seasonal torrents when the region got cut up. The problem of lack of water, firewood and pasture availability made women trudge long distances. With little or no source of income, they had virtually no say in the household and financial matters. The project provided these women some training to take up simple income-generating activities like production of mineral bricks, raising nurseries, rope-making and namkeen-making. The emphasis was given to train women in such activities whose products found ready markets and marketing posed no problem, given the poor infrastructure of the region. A mineral brick-manufacturing machine along with the necessary training was also provided to the women. These bricks, which require easily available raw material, enhanced the yield of mulch cattle and was readily sold in the surrounding villages. The women have also learnt to raise nurseries of plants like lucinia, kachnaar, khair, shisham, etc which are later bought by the Forest Department for plantations. The money thus earned is deposited in the revolving fund of the user groups and the profit is equally shared by the members. Two such nurseries have yielded these women as many as Rs 4500 and Rs 6,300 in the Nanowaal village development committee near here. The acceptability of being an earning member of the family has gone a long way in boosting the morale of these women. Now they confidently sit with the menfolk discussing everyday problems. Secretary of one such group, Haleema, feels that their new role has inculcated a sense of respect for them in the family. They have also managed to instill a sense of cleanliness in their children. Awareness about educating the girl child has also caught their attention. The project, which is aided by the World Bank, often gets foreign dignitaries to these villages. An interaction with these foreign teams has become a routine with them and they feel encouraged at being acknowledged. The project officials stated that the aim is to ensure sustainability of these activities after the project withdraws its support from them.

The case of video production at the BBC Digital Media InitiativeMariategui, Jose-Carlos; Marton, Attila (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The unfolding of the paradoxical interplay between overarching institutional orders and domain-specific, situated practices has been a central theme of organization studies. With the rise of information and communication technology (ICT), digital infrastructures and the standards they foster are disseminating on a global scale based on the computational rationale of binary-based digitalization. The following paper will delve into this paradoxical interplay by studying digital video as it travels across work practices of broadcasting qua computational standards and processes. Using BBC's Digital Media Initiative (DMI) as a case study, we seek to assess how work practices are affected by the use of digital video throughout the editing process. In particular, we take a semiological approach in order to understand two distinctive image-intensive practices, news and long-form productions, and the ways they changed due to the implementation of a digital infrastructure. Thus conceived, we demonstrate how digitalization as a technical process decontextualizes digital video information, while the work practices related to their management rely on highly contextualized and situated information.

L' «orientation mondiale» dans les programmes de français au DanemarkVerstraete-Hansen, Lisbeth (Paris, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Cet article propose une réflexion sur ce qu'on pourrait appeler « l'orientation mondiale » des programmes de français au Danemark. Plusieurs rapport officiels et études académiques ont souligné la nécessité de mieux assurer la progression entre les différents niveaux de l'enseignement des langues étrangères, mais les recommandations concernent plus souvent l'acquisition de la langue et les compétences communicatives que le contenu des cours. A travers l'examen de la présence de la « francophonie » dans les documents officiels concernant l'école fondamentale, le lycée et la formation universitaire destinée à former les futurs enseignants pour le lycée, l'article montre que la vision et la place de ce qu'est une « orientation mondiale » varient considérablement d'un niveau à l'autre du système éducatif.

Evidence from Unexpected Inheritance due to Sudden DeathAndersen, Steffen; Meisner Nielsen, Kasper (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We use a natural experiment to investigate the impact of participation constraints on individuals' decisions to invest in the stock market. Unexpected inheritance due to sudden deaths results in exogenous variation in financial wealth and allows us to examine whether fixed entry and ongoing participation costs cause non-participation. We have three key findings. First, windfall wealth has a positive effect on participation. Second, the majority of households do not react to sizeable windfalls by entering the stock market, but hold on to substantial safe assets—even over longer horizons. Third, the majority of households inheriting stock holdings actively sell the entire portfolio. Overall, these findings suggest that participation by many individuals is unlikely to be constrained by financial participation costs. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8169 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Spørgsmålet er om der er aftaleretlig revolution på vej, en revolution som er baseret på, at hvis virksomhederne vil overleve i den globale økonomi kræves nye initiativer for at skabe værdi.1 Den globale økonomi er karakteriseret ved omskiftelighed og aggressiv konkurrence. Derfor kan virksomheder sjældent stå alene om at skabe værdi.2 Det er forandringen i virksomhedernes værdiskabelse, som er årsagen til revolutionen. I stedet for at skabe værdi alene skaber virksomhederne nu værdier i fællesskab og til det kræves nye samarbejdsformer og nye måder at indgå aftaler på, selv i virksomhedens første levetid. De gamle metoder og teorier duer således ikke mere. Nye samarbejdsformer indbefatter både i Storbritannien,3 USA og i Danmark begrebet partnering. Selv om partnering er et forholdsvist nyt begreb i Danmark, har partnering allerede i USA vist at være vejen til fundamentale forandringer for, hvordan store virksomheder kontraherer.

Abstract: This paper discusses partnering contracts in Denmark and Great Britain, analyses the legal content and applies game theory and the prisoner's dilemma game on some of the legal clauses and objectives. The paper defines partnering contracts as alternative social contracts relevant when forming a strategic alliance or another long-term relationship with a certain degree of specificity and frequency. It is not the aim of partnering contracts to replace the traditional contracts. The paper focuses on partnering in the construction industry and compares the clauses in both Danish and British partnering contracts. Based on the analysis, the paper sets up a scientific definition regarding the aim of partnering contracts and shows that economic theory can explain the legal clauses in the partnering contract, and the partnering contract can solve inefficiency in the Nash Equilibrium in the prisoner's dilemma game. The partnering contract makes it possible to obtain the benefit from joint utility and the paper proposes some legal improvements in this regard.

Process Models and Advanced Services Offshoring to IndiaØrberg Jensen, Peter D. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses a recent strand of offshoring research that concerns the processes of evolution and change that appear in offshoring partnerships after the launch of offshoring operations. Based on longitudinal case studies of offshoring of advanced IT and engineering services from Danish firms to Indian firms, I identify a process model with three stages that captures the evolution of the initial 1-2 years of the offshoring partnership. Overall, the data portray a rapid development of the Danish-Indian offshoring partnerships which show that once trust is established and offshoring firms gain experience, the offshoring firms will increase the sophistication as well as expand the range and volume of advanced work done offshore. The dynamics of the process therefore suggest that at a broader scale, advanced services offshoring will increase in the coming years. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8946 Files in this item: 1

Do Patents "Crowd Out" Prizes?Davis, Jerome; Davis, Lee (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Debate over the merits of patents versus inducement prizes has tended to ignore the signaling roles of patents, and totally ignores the impact of patent signaling on prize contests. This paper asks: How does patent signaling affect the strategic choices of firms considering entering prize contests? First, we consider contests that do not allow patenting, then contests that do. If patenting is not allowed, we argue, patent-holders, both internal and external to the contest, can adversely impact prize contests by claiming prize winner violation of their patents, and suing for damages. The likelihood of such challenges being made can deter entry, particularly in contests requiring large sunk costs. Furthermore, the firm's decisionmaking process will discriminate against entering prize contests and favor R&D projects with patentable outcomes. Together, these problems may circumscribe any future wider role for prize contests, and limit their major putative welfare advantage: the ability to place prize winning solutions into the public domain. In contests where entrants may patent their inventions, entry is subject to basically the same problems as above (although such contests may carry some advantages as regards contest design). Our overall conclusion is that prize contests are liable to fail due to the lack of potential entrants, particularly as regards entry on the part of larger commercial firms.

A Comparative Analysis of China and IndiaPatibandla, Murali (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Qualitative information and data show significant differences in the magnitude and type of foreign direct investment inflows among developing economies. Explanation of the differences requires analysis of market institutional factors as well as the supply and demand side conditions. This paper adopts the approach that different configurations of supply, demand and market institutional factors explain the type of investment flows into developing economies. The argument is illustrated through a comparative study of China and India.

Assessing network structures within container shipping industryProckl, Günter; Kotzab, Herbert; Kinra, Aseem (frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose - Container shipping, due to its boundary crossing nature, is generally seen as an international business. A first look into the physical networks of the industry has shown that container-shipping companies operate however rather differently, with different motives for internationalization, and infact show different patterns to their international development. However, there are other important transactional and market-oriented considerations, and overall dynamics that need to be examined before concluding on the internationalization levels of container shipping companies, and the industry. The purpose of this paper is to further investigate the patterns of internationalisation by the examination of the more demand-oriented considerations. Design/methodology/approach - In order to answer the research question, the paper focusses on the examination of the front-end activities and structures like sales office networks and the overall extent of market presence. For this the fundamental sales networks of the companies were considered as a key indicator, and the port networks of the 20 largest container-shipping companies in the world (by TEU capacity) were analyzed. Findings - The resulting data set allows an examination on each company's overall network at various geographic levels, and a direct comparison of the networks of the companies. It shows that not all shipping companies are highly international. It also shows that market share and total capacity are not necessarily a good indicator for the worldwide presence of a company. Research limitations/implications (if applicable) - The paper adds yet another piece to the interesting puzzle on internationalization patterns of container shipping companies. However, for a complete picture on the internationalization process further work will be required that is based e.g. on the development pattern of single companies and that may also take more the dynamic aspects and comparisons into account. Practical implications - Preceeding work provides insights that are directed towards the port networks and thus toward the more back office oriented resource architecture and the more geographical aspect of physical coverage. By reorganising the focus on the sales network of the single container shipping companies, this paper presents findings that are also applicable to the front end, towards the customer, The comparison of both views is promising interesting insights such as ownership structures and entry modes along with the specific location commitment as a basis for strategic considerations. Originality/value – In the academic literature there is not much to find on the internationalization process and the dominating internationalisation patterns related to container shipping. The paper makes an important contribution in this regard by considering the different aspects of the international shipping networks and by bringing these closer to extant frameworks on internationalization.

Bucciol, Alessandro; Foss, Nicolai J.; Piovesan, Marco (www, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Extant research offers conflicting predictions about the effect of pay dispersion on team performance. We collected a unique dataset from the Italian soccer league to study the effect of intra-firm pay dispersion on team performance, under different definitions of what constitutes a ''team''. This peculiarity of our dataset can explain the conflicting evidence. Indeed, we also find positive, null, and negative effects of pay dispersion on team performance, using the same data but different definitions of team. Our results show that when the team is considered to consist of only the members who directly contribute to the outcome, high pay dispersion has a detrimental impact on team performance. Enlarging the definition of the team causes this effect to disappear or even change direction. Finally, we find that the detrimental effect of pay dispersion is due to worse individual performance, rather than a reduction of team cooperation.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa Lake Placid
On the edge of Greatness
The Mirror Lake Inn is a lovely hotel, with the requisite feel of the Adirondacks and a fabulous view of the namesake lake.
As others have mentioned, it is a bit pricey for the room cost alone, however, great deals can be had with various package deals. With the Three for Two Spa package, we got a room, one 50 minute spa treatment per day for myself and my wife, breakfast each morning and gratuities included. Not inexpensive but worth it.
A few little touches would really put this place in a top flight category: more attentive spa and front desk staff, unquestioning service, polished dining room service ... all easily adjusted .
Do I recommend Mirror Lake Inn? Absolutely. Accept a few rough edges and think of it as a jewel on the edge of the wilderness.
Mirror lake overated amongst a wonderful resort town.
Mirror Lake Inn is highly overrated. Conde Nast Traveler and various other travel magazines sing its praises but don't be fooled.
Astetically the place is nice but the rates should be about $200 less per night. The service at times borders on snotty. The Averill Conwell Dining Room is pretty good with a great atmosphere. The casual eatery accross the road ( The Cottage) is laughable, poor food and indifferent service. The only draw there would be to go for lunch and sit by the water outside. There are so many other places to stay in L.P. Do yourself a favor and stay at either the Hilton, Best Western, Holiday Inn and save a boat load of cash. Lake Placid is a diamond in the rough, just not this place.
My wife and I enjoyed our honeymoon at the Mirror Lake Inn. The Adirondack Suite was excellent, the staff was more than attentive and the food was four stars. My wife raved about the spa treatments while the activities director showed me the best mountain bike trails in the area. We had such a great time that we are going back for our third anniversary.
Coming home
Swimming in mirror lake after 7 years of missing it, i must say that the water was ever like silk and all the more welcoming. Whiteface Mt smiled upon me as i swam and rejoiced in freedom of being alive. The air is crisper and cleaner than ever before (no smoking virtually anywhere). My good friends who run the Best Western probably don't even know about my tears---for the joy of 'coming home' to a place where i spent much of my youth. If you want to feel the joy and energy of being alive, visit the best western on mirror lake.
Rude and Dishonest
They mislead me when making reservations booking me into a more expensive room with the story that no other rooms were available (not True). To make a long story short, I confonted the manager who agreed that I was given "bad information from several of the Hotel staff" but they would do nothing to correct the situation. My cost to stay 2 nights ended up being $1065. and it should have been $500. If you stay here..Hold your wallet..They know how to charge a fine price but not how to treat people. Go down the road to several other very nice places for under $200 per night!
Friendly & Attentive
Everything from the Room to the food was excellent. The staff was most friendly & Attentive.
You decide...is this rude?
I tried to call and arrange a surprise for my friend staying there for her honeymoon (I am one of her bridesmaids) and the woman wouldn't even tell me whether she had a jacuzzi in the room. She told me I'd have to ask the bride for the confirmation number. Wasn't sure if I should be happy no terrorist would hit the Mirrow Lake Inn or offended that she couldn't trust that I was trying to plan something thoughtful and sincere.
Overpriced and lacking in charm
Don't be fooled by the beautiful ads with the adirondack chair at the end of the dock: Lake Placid is a busy town with little charm, and the Mirror Lake Inn is much too close to the bustle. If you're determined to go there in the summer of 2003, you should also check with the hotel about the construction out front. When my wife and I arrived on June 23, the place was like a construction site, with dust, debris, and trucks everywhere, and little front-end loaders (i.e. bobcats) moving boulders outside your window at 8:30 a.m. The management handled it poorly: we received a form letter of apology when we arrived, but were not offered so much as a free drink until we complained vigorously, at which point they knocked $100 off our room rate. And while the hotel staff insisted that the construction was entirely the city's fault (something to do with water mains), in fact they were lying: a major landscaping project at the hotel was responsible for much of the mess (including the noisy bobcats). We checked out after one night and will never go back.
I stayed at the Mirror Lake inn over memorial day weekend 2003 . Granted, the weather was terrible, and no place gains from torrential rains, but, for a Hotel listed as a small luxury hotel, there were a few amenities that were missing. The bed was hard as a rock, and I found myself tossing both nights. The room was spacious but dark, and it could have used a minibar and a Tv that received some chennaels besides mostly snow, and no premium channels. The spa, was very good and expectedly expensive, and was the only saving grace of the entire stay. The meals were bland and breakfast in the bar a joke with grey muffins for a dollar 87,which in a "luxury" hotel could , and should have been complimentary. The town of Lake Placid also does not offer much in terms of stores and other things to do if the weather is inclement. However, if you are a trout fisherman, it appears to be truly a great place for you.Lake Placid itself is impossible to see, unless you are in a boat...and Mirror lake is pretty with the sun but quite small. In summary, a long drive from NYC for marginal activities, and overpriced rooms, I would definitey NOT go back.
Comfortable surroundings
Mirror Lake Inn offers nice rooms and hospitality, but it is over priced and better rooms can be had elsewhere for less money.
