BEULAVILLE — As East Duplin sophomore Ian Wickline looked ahead to today's opening round of the NCHSAA 2-A state golf championships, the 16-year-old was taking something of a pragmatic approach to his first swing in this rarefied air.
"Just go and play my best and what happens happens," Wickline said as he sat in the foyer of his high school last week before heading out for another practice round. "But I'm definitely excited."
Wickline earned a spot in the two-day 2-A championships at Longleaf Golf and Country Club in Southern Pines by shooting a 6-over 78 in the East Regional last week at the River Landing Golf Course in Wallace.
While East Duplin didn't make the field as a team, Wickline's score was among the top three by golfers whose teams didn't make the state championships. Wickline was one of three area players to make it as individuals along with the teams from Richlands in 2-A and Southwest in 1-A.
(See accompanying graphic for list of players from the area in the championships.)
"I wanted to make it," the quiet Wickline said. "I don't know, I guess I was expecting to make it."
But he didn't think a 78 would be good enough, even in the rain and wind that made play a bit more difficult than usual and led to high scores in the regional.
"I thought it would take lower than that," said Wickline, whose best competitive around is a 2-under 70. "But I scored pretty good — I guess it was OK under the weather."
What wasn't OK with Wickline was that neither his twin brother, Garrett, who was the East Central 2-A Conference player of the year, nor the Panthers as a team made the championships.
"That was the goal," he said. "I wish the whole team could have made it."
But the Panthers didn't, falling 7 strokes shy of finishing in the top three and earning a spot in the championships.
"I wasn't really surprised (Ian made it)," East Duplin coach Russ Lanier said. "I was tickled. I was really hoping that the team would qualify."
Wickline, however, will be on the course without his teammates, and Lanier expects the same "steady demeanor" from a teenager who was moved up to the varsity in basketball and soccer this year, moves that "helped him grow and mature a little bit."
"Early in the golf season he struggled," Lanier said. "His brother beat him a couple strokes nearly every round. But he just persevered. He tinkered with his swing a little bit. He just works at it.
"There's many a day at practice that I'm leaving to go home at 6:30, 7 o'clock (and he says), 'We're going to walk four or five more holes. We'll be home soon.' I'll say, 'OK, don't let your parents worry.' They just love to play."
Wickline is a steady player who said he's an "average" hitter off the tee, "not the longest, not the shortest," pointing to his short game as his strength.
"Even if I'm not hitting the ball good, I can chip and putt halfway decent and I can score pretty good," said Wickline, adding his favorite club is his 56-degree wedge.
Lanier said Wickline was "pretty consistent" with all his clubs.
"He's not super good at one particular thing, but he is steady," Lanier said. "He's comfortable with all of his game."
Wickline comes from a golfing family. Both father, Gene, and his father's father played the game as does Wickline's twin brother, who other than being slightly shorter is a perfect match for his brother.
So how do the brotherly dynamics work? Are they ultra competitive? Do they help each other on the course? Do they needle one another?
"We help each other," Ian said. "But at the same time we want to beat each other."
So who's better?
"It depends on the day," Ian said. "I'd say we're pretty competitive."
What about from a coach's perspective?
"The more I'm around them and the more I get to know them you can pick up a little bit on that little needling part," Lanier said. "But honestly they're helping each other out. One will be lined up getting ready to hit a shot and he'll say, 'Hey, am I lined up straight? How's this backswing look?' They're all the time encouraging one another.
"Now when they get home, they're probably around each other's throats. But as far as what I see, they're nothing but helpful, nothing but encouraging of each other and other teammates. They're very good young men."

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Mira Patel grew up in Massachusetts and is a proud graduate of Wellesley College. After working for Hillary Clinton in the Senate on defense and finance policy, Secretary Clinton asked Mira to join the State Department on the Policy Planning Staff where Mira advised her on gender and human rights issues. As one of the few openly gay woman of color in the Obama Administration and motivated by her experience of being rejected by her parents upon coming out as a teenager, Mira has pushed the United States to lead the fight to champion human rights for all. Identifying LGBT human rights as a priority, she proposed and helped Secretary Clinton to craft a major global address asserting that, "Gay rights are human rights," and announcing the Global Equality Fund, a $5 million public private partnership that Mira conceived of and established with a team of interagency officials. The Fund has supported advocacy organizations in over 30 countries and is the largest U.S. government spending on LGBT human rights. In the first Presidential Memorandum on international LGBT rights, President Barack Obama highlighted the rapid response mechanism Mira established that marshals U.S. resources following anti-LGBT attacks, which has since been deployed successfully globally. In recognition, Mira was named in the "Out 100" in 2012 by Out Magazine. As an MBA student at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Mira strives to be an ambassador between the public and private sectors, facilitating innovative partnerships that further human rights, economic development, and social justice internationally.

hey @JonHeymanCBS I just read that we got mathematically eliminated from the 2013 playoffs. Is that true?

We didn't want to give Reyes or Buehrle those stupid contracts last year when they were freely available on the market and Miami signed them. Why would we want to take them on now at the price of Castro+?

It is anyway, not anyways.
I wouldn't, no. The package is too quantity over quality-ish for my liking in return for Castro, and the best player in return would a SS which wouldn't be much of, if any, of an upgrade (surely not in a few years). With his injury history, we probably wouldn't get many years out of JJ, then we'd be paying for the back end of Reyes and Buerhle instead of reaping the benefits of Starlin's prime years + flexibility.

we are taking in way too much salary and we would have to give up a little more than just castro

i would yes
soler/baez/almora and some still getting developed while we contend in this weak dviision? hell yeah
an i would try like hard to get price when hes available
I don't know if Tex, Arod, Granderson really make you a contender. They also add like 50+ million a year onto your payroll, making Price that much harder to get.

Rather stick on our current path then take that deal and put together a "meh" team that has the possibility to be good.
No GM should have made the deal that Toronto did. Some are scared to second guess AA but I think he gave up way too much in what was clearly a salary dump. To give up two top prospects and to pay the majority of all of those salaries as well is a rip off. They will be fighting for years to get from out of those deals unless they can flip Johnson or Reyes.

You know it's carnival time in Cologne when odd things start to happen. From the moment the mayor hands power to a trio consisting of a prince, a peasant and a maiden, this cathedral city in North Rhine-Westphalia is turned on its head. In the week before Ash Wednesday you'll have Kölle alaaf ringing in your ears and wonder if people have taken leave of their senses.
Carnival in Cologne begins at 11 minutes past 11 on 11 November and finishes on Ash Wednesday, just as elsewhere. But that's where the similarities end. As everyone can see, especially in the final week when the street carnival has the city firmly in its grip, Cologne carnival is in a league of its own. The street carnival begins at 11.11am on Women's Day, the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. Offices and businesses close, with hordes of people streaming into the old quarter and Südstadt from the early morning onwards. All day long it's customary for 'mad' women to cut off men's ties. Carnival Saturday is the day of the first processions through Cologne's districts. The evening then brings the ghost parade (first introduced in 1991) and lavish costume balls and ceremonies in the city's halls. But the official highpoint of Cologne carnival is the Rose Monday procession – the excitement overflows and even the most straight-laced of locals get caught up in the spirit.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 17, 5 pm (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Kibbie Dome (16,000) -- Moscow, Idaho.
Television: None. Home Record: UTSA 3-2, Idaho 1-3. Away Record: UTSA 3-2,
Idaho 0-6. Neutral Record: UTSA 0-0, Idaho 0-0. Conference Record: UTSA 1-3,
Idaho 1-3. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: Two teams tied for fourth place in the Western Athletic Conference
standings get together at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow on Saturday, as the Idaho
Vandals entertain the Roadrunners of Texas-San Antonio.
One of the newest members to the WAC, the Roadrunners had much success during
their non-conference schedule as they rattled off four straight wins to begin
the season and then took out New Mexico State in their first league bout, but
since then there hasn't been too much celebrating in San Antonio.
However, last weekend the team did manage to bring an end to a four-game slide
with a 31-24 win over McNeese State. While the victory came outside of
conference and outside of the Football Bowl Subdivision for that matter, the
good news is that the Roadrunners are now two games over .500 with two games
to play.
As for the Vandals, the 2012 campaign has been a huge disaster, to the point
where head coach Robb Akey was let go and offensive coordinator Jason Gesser
was asked to step in as the interim. Like the Roadrunners, Idaho has also
defeated New Mexico State in conference play, but in this case that's been the
only triumph for the Vandals during the long grind.
Last week was another disappointing effort as Idaho was crushed by BYU on the
road in Provo, 53-12, which means the team has now fallen in four straight and
nine of the last 10, not to mention being outscored during this current slide
by a combined 202-61.
This is the first-ever meeting between these two schools on the football
Against the Cowboys in the Alamodome, UTSA got a wake-up call in the second
half as it generated more than 200 yards of offense and 24 points as it held
on for the seven-point home win. Eric Soza led the way with 262 yards and two
touchdowns through the air, as well as one touchdown on the ground. Also
playing a key role on offense was Evans Okotcha with his 50 yards and one TD
running and three catches and a score through the air.
The pass defense for the Roadrunners was exposed by McNeese State as the
visitors threw for 346 yards and a couple of scores, but at the same time UTSA
was able to log a couple of sacks and an interception. Brandon Reeves and Nic
Johnston led the way with 13 and 10 tackles, respectively, with a combined 1.5
sacks as well.
Reeves now has a team-best 77 tackles in 10 starts for the Roadrunners, while
Steven Kurfehs has accounted for 4.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks on the campaign.
Soza, who missed a couple of games due to injury, continues to put up solid
numbers for the Roadrunners, from his 59.3 percent accuracy to his 17
touchdowns and just one interception. Okotcha not only leads the way with
eight rushing TDs, he is also tied for the most overall receptions with 20,
leading to another three scores.
To be honest, the Vandals are lucky the score with BYU wasn't even more
lopsided last week, given the other opportunities the Cougars had to score but
did not capitalize. Nevertheless, the Idaho defense still surrendered 537
yards of offense and was left out on the field for 87 plays. The visitors did
come up with a pair of fumble recoveries, but those were not nearly enough to
make the game even remotely competitive.
Logan Bushnell converted 19-of-35 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown and a
couple of picks, while kicker Trey Farquhar booted a pair of field goals in
the second half.
Idaho's offense has been abysmal in 2012, generating a mere 15.4 ppg which is
easily the lowest average among 120 FBS schools. The run game is virtually
non-existent as the group produces just 78.6 ypg, last in the conference and
117th in the nation. Part of the problem came with former starting quarterback
Dominique Blackman, who has since been dismissed from the program, and his
learning the system. Now everything has to be turned around to suit the
abilities of Bushnell.
But the problems don't only lie on offense in Moscow, because the defense is
just as culpable while giving up more than 500 ypg in total offense and a
staggering 43.0 ppg which is third-worst in the nation right now.
If the Vandals hope to add even one more win to their ledger this season it
has to come this weekend because the next and final opponent on the schedule
is Utah State on the road and that's just not going to be a comfortable
situation for Idaho. Unfortunately, Soza and the Roadrunners won't let it
happen here either.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Texas-San Antonio 38, Idaho 17

Tegra Graphics Debugger allows you to quickly connect to an Android devkit or upcoming a consumer device powered by Tegra K1 or Tegra X1, and attach to your graphics mobile application to monitor key software and hardware performance metrics, such as "frames per second" to gauge rendering performance and "GPU utilization" to ensure you're taking full advantage of the hardware. Simple, yet effective, directed tests provide a painless method for identifying application bottlenecks.
Tegra Graphics Debugger
The frame debugger grabs a rendered frame from your mobile application for further analysis and debugging. Powerful tools, such as the frame scrubber and the event list allow you to navigate the massive amounts of data generated by your application. Other views, such as the resource viewer, allow you to explore your application, examining the various assets, while the API inspector provides a view into the internals of your application.
The frame profiler uses hardware performance monitors to measure unit utilization and bottlenecks, reporting the performance limiters for the rendered frame. The high level overview shows where compute cycles are spent and how much memory traffic is happening where. This gives you a basic idea of how efficient your application is. Additional tools provide more granular details, such as the state bucket, which groups similar rendering commands allowing for optimizations that provide the maximum bang for your buck.
With Tegra Graphics Debugger, you can edit and recompile graphics shader source code on the fly, allowing you to experiment with modifications to your shader source for both performance and debugging. These modifications can easily be toggled or updated to compare rendering or performance results in conjunction with directed tests.
Tegra Graphics Debugger's powerful workflows enable game and graphics developers to get the most out of Tegra K1 and Tegra X1 SOCs.

I got involved in an argument on Huf Post about Homeopathic remedies with some true believers. The article clames that a cure for Fibromyalgia is within reach using this stuff. I made this comment:
I have a *great* idea. Mr. Ullman says:
"Over 200 years of homeopathic practice have found that homeopathic medicines that are of a higher potency—that is, those that have undergone a greater number of dilutions, with vigorous shaking of the solution in between dilutions—have a longer term effect"
So - get some extract of poison ivy, cross the Canadian boarder at upstate N.Y. Find your way to Niagara falls and drop it in. Then rush back downstream and scoop out some of that now super dilution that has been shaken so hard by the fall.
Fibromyalgia can now be cured AND since the water will find its way to the ocean and then, by evaporation back to Canada and over the falls again in a few years it will become EVEN STRONGER.
The possibilities are staggering.
The comment was rejected by the moderator for the article but for the life of me I can't see anything out of order in it.
Am I missing something?

Logan Regional Medical Center Auxiliary was well represented at the annual meeting of Auxiliary of West Virginia Hospital Association (AWVHA) held recently at The Greenbrier. Logan Auxilian Pauline Fortune was named Southeastern District Auxilian of the Year, and West Virginia First Lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin was introduced by LRMC Auxiliary President Beverly Roark as a keynote speaker.
First Lady Tomblin gave an interesting and informative talk on the importance of volunteers in all organizations. Many could not exist without the help of volunteers and would not be able to offer many of their services such as hospitals and nursing homes who have the help of faithful volunteers. She extended much praise to all the auxilians in attendance.
Auxiliary members attended several workshops including "Distracted Drivers Driving Safely" by J.J. Miller; "West Virginia Tourism" by Robin Clower and Jacob Jackson; "Physical Therapy" by Gina Mazure, and "Doctors on Call" by Monongalia General Hospital Doctors.
Logan auxilians attending was Roark, Betty Lambert, Norma Miller, Cecil Willis, Nora Willis, Edna Napier, Gay Cook, Gloria Martin, Hessie Gunnells, Juanita Clay, Alice Cheek, Janice Barker, Lillian Clegg, Margaret Shriver, Midge Cox, Pauline Fortune and Betty Toney.

WorldView - Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million km (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area. With a billion people in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the world's human population.
The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent has 54 sovereign states, including Madagascar, various island groups, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a member state of the African Union whose statehood is disputed by Morocco.

Although it has abundant natural resources, Africa remains the world's poorest and most underdeveloped continent, due to a variety of causes that may include the spread of deadly diseases and viruses (notably HIV/AIDS and malaria), corrupt governments that have often committed serious human rights violations, failed central planning, high levels of illiteracy, lack of access to foreign capital, and frequent tribal and military conflict.

Sheen representing Pfeiffer Men's Lacrosse at Canadian National Tournament
August 13, 2013
Alberta, Canada – Pfeiffer University men's lacrosse midfielder Cole Sheen is representing the Falcons in the Minto Cup, Canada's national indoor tournament. Sheen's Okotoks Raiders won a best-of-seven series against the Calgary Mountaineers to advance to the Championship which runs from August 16-26.
Sheen scored two goals in the first six games of the series against Calgary, but saved his best performance for game seven. With his team down 1-0 early, Sheen responded with a natural hat trick in less than seven minutes and the Raiders never looked back. Sheen was acquired in a late season trade by the Raiders, who were making a push to win the Junior A Box Lacrosse Championship. By advancing to the National Minto Cup, Sheen will be representing his province for the third consecutive year.
Okotoks will compete in a round-robin from Aug. 17-19 with the top two teams competing in a best-of-five series from Aug. 22-26. The other three teams are Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Whitby. Alberta has never won a Minto Cup.
Sheen competed in all 17 contests for the Falcons a season ago and was sixth on the team with 23 points and 16 goals. He tied for the team lead in most man up goals with five for Pfeiffer, who went 13-4 on the season and 5-1 in Conference Carolinas play and advanced to the Conference Tournament Championship game.
Okotoks will compete against Coquitlam on August 17 in Queens Park Arena in New Westminster, BC.

Recent Lake George Reviews
We loved it! Very pleased with everything!
The property was just as described maybe even better than expected! I was so nervous about dealing with Homeaway because we had a very bad experience before but when I spoke to the homeowner before booking he assured me that I would be pleased! Thank you Barry for being an honest man! The house was in a great location just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the village but very easy to get back and forth! It was very clean and had some really nice extras! The kitchen had plenty of dishes and a good variety of pots and pans etc. I generally bring everything with me because it has been my experience that usually the stuff that is in the rental houses is not something I would use! Not the case here, very nice surprise! We had a quick question about the wifi and both the caretaker and the home owner answered us so quickly! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone . We will certainly be back next year. I have always lived Lake George and this house made it even nicer than ever!
Another wonderful week at this Lake George home!
As expected, this home offers everything that we wanted, it is so comfortable, offers endless amenities (including a private beach and pool that are always nearly empty) and the location is perfect for proximity to Lake George, Bolton Landing and Queensbury. We will definitely be going for a third straight year next summer. The owner is so helpful, responsive and always gracious. Thank you again!!!
I stayed here for 2 weeks with my husband and 2 small children. My sister came for part of the time with her 2 older boys. The home couldn't have been more perfect. Absolutely spotless and extremely well supplied right down to DVDs and beach buggy for the beach. The location was great, only 10 minute walk to the beach but very quiet. I would definately stay again!

Winter solstice (Score:5, Insightful)by Anonymous Coward on Sunday December 30, 2012 @11:20AM (#42426071)
The winter solstice (December 21/22) makes the most sense to me. It's only dependent on the Earth's position on its orbit and its tilt, so it should be very predictable and stable, and is easily observable from having the shortest day of the year on that day. (Of course, in the southern hemisphere they get the longest day of the year.)
Off the poll options, the southward equinox comes closest, being a quarter of an orbit off.

Llanmaes Dig, 2008
Awst 2008
Llanmaes the spiritual centre
Albany Primary school visited Llanmaes in July and brought with them an uplifting and colourful response to the findings at the archaeological dig. The children explored the possibility of the spiritual significance of what may have been taking place thousands of years ago at this sacred site. Our archaeologists found evidence of what seems to be ceremonial activity at the site in Llanmaes. There also seems to be evidence of artefacts left by visitors from far away lands. Could Llanmaes have been a spiritual centre thousands of years ago? The children of Albany Primary school certainly thought so.
Thanks to the kindness of the local church the pupils of Albany Primary school were able to design and then take part in a non-denominational spiritual ceremony at the local church in Llanmaes.
They wrote affirmations of thanks and praise in recognition of the wonder of life. The children felt that this may have been the type of things that were being celebrated thousands of years ago in Llanmaes. Prayers and affirmations of thanks and praise were left at the altar as can be seen in the film.

Ysgol Pwll Coch Spooky Cauldron Music and Dance!
Ysgol Pwll Coch visited the National Museum in Cathays last spring. The pupils looked at the new Origins gallery and in particular the Bronze Age and Iron Age displays. The cauldron was the centre piece and they created music and poetry in response to ideas about cauldron festivals.
This was followed up by a visit to Llanmaes and the archaeological dig where cauldron festivals may have taken place thousands of years ago. The same pupils used drama, dance and music to create their very own cauldron ceremony. The teachers and pupils were thrilled with the exciting learning opportunities this project presented to them. They also had lots and lots of fun doing it as you can tell from their two films and the Spooky Cauldron music they composed!
The first film shows their spooky cauldron dancing to their spooky cauldron music. In the second film they composed a march of the mochyn (pig). This was in response to the fact that the archaeologists had found lots of pig bones on the site at Llanmaes. Who knows perhaps the march of the mochyn was also being performed thousands of years ago!

Two local schools make music in honour of their ancestors!
The archaeological dig at Llanmaes was visited by two local schools from Llantwit Major. Pupils from both schools went in search of evidence of perhaps their ancestors from the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
Llanilltud Fawr primary school composed music inspired by the idea that feasting festivals may have once taken place on the site. The unusually large size of the midden found on site seems to indicate that feasting and partying may have take place in Llanmaes during the Bronze Age and Iron Age. The children used this idea to inspire them to compose their own special feasting music. The pupils decided that the feats may have been full of ceremony and magic and so their magical music reflects these ideas.

Sant Illtud Primary school composed their music inspired by the idea that acts of worship and celebration may have taken place in Llanmaes during the Bronze Age and Iron Age. Objects found in the midden may hint at some kind of ritualistic placing of them perhaps part of some sacred ceremony. The children certainly thought that this may have been why such a large midden had been unearthed containing so man valuable objects. Therefore their music is celebratory, spiritual, uplifting, and full of awe and wonder!

Machen Primary school tearing it up at Llanmaes!
Machen Primary school also visited the National museum in spring last year and followed up this visit with a trip to the archaeological dig at Llanmaes. The children focussed on the importance of cauldrons in the Bronze and Iron Ages. They learnt about the possible ceremony that may have taken place at Llanmaes involving the ceremonial tearing of cauldrons. This inspired them to re-create their own cauldron tearing ceremony. Poetry, music and the actions/movements of the ceremony itself were designed by the children. Then a sacred cauldron tearing ceremony took place on the very same spot where it may have taken place thousands of years ago. One word kept being spoken by the children to describe their experiences: "Awesome!".
Gorffennaf 2008
What Machen primary school have been saying about their visit to the archaeological dig at Llanmaes
"I really enjoyed looking at the pottery and teeth. I would like to know all the things the Iron Age Celts ate. How did they build the round houses? Did they play sport?"
"I liked doing the music because of the really good beats! I liked looking at the pigs teeth and the Roman coin. I would like to be an archaeologist because I love history, but I don't like working in wet weather!"
"I really liked looking at the pig bones and i learnt such a lot!"
"The ceremony we did was fab and I loved our music! I wanted to wear the mask home, but I wasn't sure about tearing up the cauldron we'd made!"
"Recording the music on the computer and changing it using the technology was really cool! The bones were cool as well!"
"I liked wearing the mask and playing the music."
"I really enjoyed today because it was fun. My favourite part was doing the music and going back in time!"

I booked a room for my husband and I on Cyber Monday and got a deal - $17.00 per night for a "deluxe" room. I have read horror stories about IP but the deal was too good to pass up. We checked in early at 1pm. There was no line up. Our clerk was young and very friendly. I put the $20 in my passport and headed up to him. After some friendly small chat I asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. He seemed really surprised by my question and was like "Um..." and I looked down at my passport. He noticed the $20 and again looked surprised and started laughing and said in an upbeat tone "Well maybe!"...a couple minutes later we were fully checked in and he handed us our room keys. He said if we didn't like the room we couldn't complain! (said with a wink and a smile). He knew it was our wedding anniversary and put us on the 10th floor in one of the newer towers. Our room was actually a suite! And everything looked recently renovated. New carpet, couches, chairs, TWO 40 inch flat screen tvs and a new king sized bed. We could not have asked for more and were so grateful to be given this suite for the duration of our stay!!! All of the staff at IP were amazing. We have zero complaints and will be back soon!
Was checking in for the weekend on a Thursday night. Got to IP around 10:15 or so and after a short wait in line got the oldest female clerk at the desk. Gave her the $20 sandwich, she was surprised, took the bill out and put under her calculator. She then said she was appreciative and would she what she could do. Since it was a weekend she couldn't give me the full suite, but could give us the Mini Suite if that was ok. Since we were paying $137 already for the full weekend of 4 nights, the bump up for the mere $20 trip, So for $157 for the mini suite for the full weekend, was well worth it. great website and thanks.
Tried to get a upgrade on an already discounted casino rate room at the IP. Tried the $20 trick after waiting in the check in line for literally 1.5 hours! (not kidding) .
Was told no, but I could pay $15 to upgrade my room to the Love Suite. I did anyways.
This hotel is crap. Second time I stayed here and I will not return.
This was my first time using the $20 sandwich trick. I didn't target any specific clerk, just went random. Handed my folded $20 with my drivers license and credit card, and asked, "Do you have any free Rom upgrades?" Within two minutes the clerk upgraded us to the King Suite from a Deluxe room. Tip, ask, and you shall recieve!
I checked in around 2pm when there was a lot of ppl waiting. As soon as the lady saw the $20 sanwich, she said there is no free upgrade, upgrade is available at $30/night. I came back 2h later, got another woman who looks nicer, however, I had no luck either. It seems they are pretty strict about upgrades recently, or I am just not that lucky.
So we checked in late around 10:00pm and noticed that all the clerks were female. Fortunately (I thought), the VIP line was empty and the clerk who called me up was a middle aged Asian male. I thought I scored since I've heard that males were more likely to be more lenient with upgrades, but was I wrong. I made some small talk and when he asked me for my ID/CC, I flashed the 20 very obviously and asked him if there was any complimentary upgrades available. He didn't even give me a chance and said that there were none. Very obvious again (flashing the 20 some more) I asked him again if there was anything else he could do, by that point the manager asked me the question and I told her. No luck. I don't think I'd ever stay here again since it is a cheap roach motel anyways and the Capri building is like going to Iraq with the noise and break-ins and such.
My wife and I arrived at 7.30pm, midweek, and there was no-one else queueing. As we were staying for 14 nights, we upped the sandwich filling to a $100 note, which we prominently displayed, or so we thought, sticking out of my passport!
We dropped several hints we'd like a room with a lot of space, but not a Luv-Tub room and pointed at the $100 note a couple of times and said that's for you if you can help us.Somehow, she didn't notice the money, but said she'd given us a high-floor room with a Strip view. When she eventually realised her tip, she thanked us profusely and gave us 2 free comp breakfast buffets and 2 free comp dinner buffets, worth $60 total.
However, when we got to this room it was small, very noisy due to the rock club downstairs and worst of all the room hadn't been cleaned!!
We called her and she immediately had us transferred to a mini-suite with separate lounge, 2 tv's and a lot of space! In all, between what we paid Expedia, the sandwich and taking the comp buffets into account, we paid around $27 per night for a mini-suite!! Give it a try, it is well worth it, they can only say no!
Arrived right before noon, female clerk,
I sandwiched a 20$ with my CC+ID. She gave me coupons and ask me to come back in a hour or so in order to have the room ready. I got a nice junior suite,with separate bedroom and 2 balconies. This was midweek ,but 20$ extra for 3 nights upgrade was g8 :-)
Well we checked in about Midnight and there was 3 people working and a line about 50 people long slipped the lady a 20 with id and Orbitz paper and she instatly handed it back to me. I said that is for you and then asked if there were any udgrades avaiable and she said yes for 20 bucks a night. So i asked for a room with a strip view so she gave me that. but i didnt not give her the 20 bucks. It worked at the Excalibur back in January oh well i am going back in 6 more month..
Our flight to Vegas was delayed three hours, so we didn't arrive at the hotel until about 1:30 AM. By then, there were only two females working the front desk. We had originally booked two rooms for 7 people total, but we each sandwiched $20 and were upgraded to a 2 bedroom penthouse with connecting living room/bar. For IP, this is not bad at all! And to think, the rooms were comped to begin with!
Checked in on a Thursday evening around 7:00 PM. I handed the $20 to the clerk with my drivers license and credit card. He said, "Oh, do you need change?" I told him no and asked if he had any complimentary room upgrades. He laughed and said "Upgrades aren't free here, upgrades are something you pay for." He checked me in and I got the crappiest room ever. I will never stay at this hotel again. It gives me the creeps just to think about how crappy the rooms are here.
I checked in early , and asked for any comp room upgrades while sliding my cc and DL to her. she said let me check, and just like that had a room that wasnt next to the parking garage that looks like a motel. Strip view top floor nothing special since this an older hotel but worth the $20 to get out of the dump we whould have been put in.
Basically walked into the Imperial Palace on Friday afternoon around 2:00pm May 15th and handing him a $20 with my ID and he said no problem let me see what I can do for you!And yes upgrade to a deluxe room with a pool view very fun!
The clerk was great, she upgraded no questions asked! The room itself was not that impressive. This was definitely an older room and we had to walk what seemed like 1/4 of a mile through 3-4 different hallways to get to the room. The view of the pools from the room was nice.
Just a word of advice on this hotel....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. If you have the extra cash, stay away from this place. The rooms that aren't remodeled are just horrible, half the elevators were not working and the ones that did work were completely full, and the layout of the building was just awful.
We got upgraded from a very basic cheap room to the LUV TUB which was nice for $20 more.
I read about the 20 dollar trick on this web site. I decided to try it when my friend and I stayed at The Imperial Place for a Wedding in Vegas for 4 nights. We are two girls in our mid twenties. I was a little hesitant, because the front desk clerk I got was an older woman ( I knew I could weasel a man, but a woman? ) I slipped her the 20 in the sandwich. She was very pleased when she saw it, and became really quiet and you could tell she was trying to be sneaky around her manager. I was honestly hoping for a jacuzzi sweet, but oh no - SHE GAVE US THE PENTHOUSE!! It was bigger than my apartment. We had a huge balcany with sun beds, a huge bedroom, a bar, a dining table, a living room, and a bathroom with a giant jacuzzi and a huge vanity. It was amazing, all for an extra $20. We originally paid $300 for 4 nights. I know thsi room cost way more than that for one night! I will say though, that 3 of my other girls checked in the next day, and tried the 20 trick, and got nothing.
My fiance, Marleen, mentioned this website & trick to me before getting to Vegas. It immediately made sense to me. The check-in reps for the hotel get an hourly wage, if they can make an extra buck here or there, why not, if there's availability in the hotel. Higher-end rooms will sometimes go to waste if this 'trick' didn't exist. Hopefully this website doesn't increase supervision of the hotel clerk's. So we get to the Imperial Palace and while waiting in line, I have a $20 bill under my driver's license. I practice what I would say in my head, "Hi, we just got engaged in November and couldn't get away until now. Are there any complimentary upgrades in rooms?" while I would hand the clerk the 20 spot and ID without the clerk getting caught by the 'eye in the sky'. Because it was a male clerk, I handed him my ID, giving him the same line. He responded with, "I'm sorry sir, we're all booked up." We told him we would like a room away from the Harrah's noise. He said, "Let me see what I can do." He left for a couple minutes and returned with a document and handed it to me. He told me he could upgrade us to the Flamingo, which he assured us was much nicer. The difference in cost for the same room was $100. We get to the Flamingo and had to wait a little in line before we got help. We gave the clerk (male again) the same line as we did to the clerk at Imperial Palace. He said, "Let me see what I can do." At first he was willing to give us a room on the TOP FLOOR! Then Marleen asked, "Could we have a room facing the strip?" He told us he couldn't place us on the top floor, but that he could give us a room facing the strip on the 14th floor. We took it at no extra cost. $100 upgrade AND facing the strip! We got to our room and could see Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caeser's Palace & The Belaggio (water show) from our room. [Harrah's owns many hotels in the area which explains the document given to us to comp us] The moral of the story is ladies and gentlemen, you never know until you ask, and we didn't use ANY MONEY whatsoever for the upgrade.
Wow, best $20 ever! Thanks IP.
I can't believe how great the $20 trick works! Walked up to the Imperial Palace check-in desk, slipped a 20 b/t my CC & DL, asked if they had any upgrades available and they obliged by setting me up in a whole different hotel!

Check out the following websites about books by our faculty:
American journalist Walter Lippmann corresponded with many leading economic thinkers of the 20th century, but he has never been perceived to be an economist himself – until now. Goodwin's new book presents Lippmann in a different light: as a public economist.
Students of economic theory may be familiar with Arrow-Debreu's model of general equilibrium, but they likely have not given much thought to its history. Professor Weintraub has published a new book on three economists' quests to prove the existence of competitive equilibrium.

Here are some popular news stories in which our faculty members were highlighted:
As disaster relief efforts and money trickle into the country, Quartz reports that remittances are likely to spike and will be instrumental in rebuilding Nepal's economy. However, Professor Fullenkamp says it is a mistake to assume remittances will go to long-term projects.
In a newly released paper, Nir Jaimovich and collaborator Henry Siu argue that structural change within the labor market is the reason why the U.S. economy underwent a jobless recovery during the most recent recession.
North Carolina lawmakers are debating the role incentives play in the state's economic growth. Professor Suárez Serrato, whose research looks at the effects of economic incentives and government spending on job growth and firm location, offers insights.
North Carolina Senate Republicans are working on legislation that would shift millions in sales and tax revenues from richer counties to poorer areas across the state. Professor Suárez Serrato weighs in on the plan's potential effects.
The World Bank recently predicted that remittances to developing countries will exceed $450 billion this year. Will this spur economic growth in the countries that receive them? Professor Fullenkamp doesn't think so.
Does assistance make a lasting difference for people struck by a national disaster? Professors Elizabeth Frankenberg and Duncan Thomas examine how Indonesia rebuilt itself 10 years after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The American middle class, once the most prevalent income group in the country, has been struggling for decades. Professor Jaimovich's research is cited in The Washington Post's new in-depth series on the middle class and the U.S. economy.
New York City's high school application process is notoriously loathsome. But as daunting as this process might be, it was far more complicated before a team of economists – including Professor Atila Abdulkadiroglu – redesigned it.

I like the style of making lots of studies. Keep on..
October 1st, 2005 #10
Nice ink work the first two are digital right? The last one is laking planning. the line work on the wall is not helping it. It needs to be more controlled and there is noting that would suggest the corner of the room that should be behind the character.
You have some very nice and loose sketches posted here. Keep at it and develop your skills, the talent is there.

Nice sketchbook man, tons of cool stuff. The self portraits look really good, nice and simple, not to be taken the wrong way. Keep up the studies....and keep posting!
October 5th, 2005 #12
The studies are really well done! It's seeming like your grasp on the human figure is coming along very well! I'd love to see you play some more with color!

i really like your ink work man, seems to be the stronger part of your talents ; ) i agree with Interceptor, i'd love to see some color work from you..... just cuz i love color... I want to see it from everyone.... keep it up man! i like the feet.... and the Russian guy ; )
October 5th, 2005 #14
Great loose stuff, love your more cartoony stuff too. Keep going with the self portraits, they look great and are good practice. I agree with Crowpsey who agrees with Interceptor, more color! And I don't mean the little whimpy monocromatic spashes you have here(which are nice btw) , I mean color color
October 6th, 2005 #15
Awesome. Thanks for the freedback. This SSG is pretty cool
I got a new sketchbook that can withstand tombow markers so I'll do my damnest now to play with color.
Here's some concept art stuff I did in the last week for a video game we're working on in school.

I love egyptian stuff The middle pice the beasty on the bottom looks unclear for a concept sketch but the rest are looking good. I'd like to see how you're going to handle the legs on these.
The Egyptian guard looks nice from the front view but the profile face is hurting. The helm may need to be pushed back a bit on the head. Also the helmets don't seem to match in composition as they go from front view to profile. Are they two different takes or the same.
nicely batch of concept stuff.

Great start to your sketch book. Good mix of subjects and styles.

Keep updating.

Nice environment sketches, you have done a good job tying all these things into a singular style for the game you are working on, I can easliy see all of this stuff in the same universe. I like the weird flat weapon for the big guy, but I agree with ben, his head looks like it might need something more in the back, maybe extend the helmet, just a thought. That's so rad that you get to make games at your school, what school are you attending?
October 13th, 2005 #20
You have such a great foundation of lighting in your basic sketches, especially your environment ones.
I love the Egyptian sketches, especially the goaty guy. Are they to just have human legs if you flesh them out?

Ben: Yeah, the side view helmet needs work, I agree. I need to get around to that soon.
Dan: Thanks. I'm going to DigiPen up in WA. It's one of the original game schools.
Wertle: Hmm, tough call. I was originally thinking goat legs, but if they have human bodies it would probably stick to the Egyptian thing better.
Thanks all. Anyways, here's this week's dump. Mostly jus some last minute leftovers from the concept art.
and I colored one of my previous sketches for shits and giggles
October 18th, 2005 #22
Nice sketches on that second page. The logo thumb looks good I'd like to see it when you take it to illustrator. on the werewolf watch your placement of hands. The hand down near it's crotch looks obscene Good lighting on it. I'm going to guess that you had two light sources in mind. Try and go darker on the shadows and a little lighter on the midtones. It may make him standout a little more.

I dunno about a billion. I actually try not to think about it too much, it usually jus depresses me :|
I know it's cheaper than Art Center and the such tho.
Anyways, I haven't had much time to be creative lately I'm afraid, so these are more or less scraps. as always, thanks for the feedback.

The facial expression on the horse is wonderful. I admire your ability to stylize and still keep such a solid, believable structure to your characters.
Anyway, you have excellent figure work and good environments, I would be curious to see more works with the figures interacting with said environments.

Ok first of I like the look of the pen on the color paper. Keeping working on that exercise form the first sketch in the last batch. I find it to be very difficult to represent the same figure in the same pose from two different view points when drawing off the top of my head. the back studies look sharp on the last one.
Keep it up
As far as paying out your ears for an education. You better squeeze the teachers for all of the knowledge that they can pass on. don't just float through and waste money. Buckle down and get your moneys worth out of school.

Crimes Against Nature
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s reputation as a resolute defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful legal actions. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine's "Heroes for the Planet" for his success in helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. The group's achievement helped spawn more than 125 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe.
Kennedy serves as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, chief prosecuting attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper, and president of Waterkeeper Alliance. He is also a clinical professor and supervising attorney at Pace University School of Law's Environmental Litigation Clinic and is co-host of Ring of Fire on Air America Radio. Earlier in his career, he served as assistant district attorney in New York City.
Among Kennedy's published books are The New York Times bestseller Crimes Against Nature (2004); The Riverkeepers (1997); and Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr: A Biography (1977). His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Nation, Outside magazine, the Village Voice, and many other publications.
Kennedy is a graduate of Harvard University. He studied at the London School of Economics and received his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. Following graduation, he attended Pace University School of Law, where he was awarded a master's degree in environmental law.
This lecture is supported with funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Robert's Environmental Center, and the Kravis Leadership Institute and is part of the Athenaeum series Leadership in Times of Crisis: The Environment.

This is so fun! I'm not quite sure where it would go, but I really want to make one!ReplyDelete
Oh my god, I've been wanting to do one of these for YEARS! Where did you find the map and cork board?ReplyDelete
What a GREAT idea! I'm totally stealing this from you. :-)ReplyDelete
what a great idea! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
OMG. I am bookmarking this post to steal this idea. I gave OccDoc a map two years ago for Christmas and we still have yet to get the damn thing on the wall.ReplyDelete
That is such a CUTE idea!!!ReplyDelete
Ohhh yours is so cute! I've had the materials for this project for almost 2 years now and I waited until we moved to put it all together, then realized they don't sell frames that fit my American size map in Japan so I had to have one custom made. Just got it back this week. Took some photos and it's waiting to be hung on the wall. We're using 3 colors as well for places we traveled separately and together. I'll get around to blogging about it eventually =)ReplyDelete
I love yours! I first noticed the map idea at the home of a former soldier, because I babysat his daughter. I thought it was an awesome idea and my fiance and I have been looking for the perfect map for quite a while!ReplyDelete
We did the same thing! But your map is way nicer! I have two huge ones that were laminated, one of he US and one of the whole world, we used stickers on ours. But I really love your idea of using different colored pins for each person. Plus yours is way cuter with the frame! Thanks for posting, now I want to revamp our map :)ReplyDelete
Sounds like something your dad and I did when you were growing up, but we only used a map of the U.S. How wonderful that you are using a map of the world!ReplyDelete
I love this idea! Too bad all of my pins would be in the US, LOL! I need to get my passport asap, I want to do some traveling. :DReplyDelete
We have one of these in our house and I love it! We are huge travelers. The only area of the world that I have more pins than my husband is the Caribbean. He's definitely won the middle east/africa! =)ReplyDelete
I love this! I currently have a World & US one hanging & pinned in my bedroom.ReplyDelete
So fun, I've done something similar, but included a different color pin for places we've lived vs. visited.ReplyDelete
I love this idea! I have been wondering how best to display our travels, and this is just brilliant.ReplyDelete
What size map and frame is that? I want to get a new map and am curious on what size you have pictured!ReplyDelete
Love it! I had one of these made, but we liked the finished product so much that we're both too afraid to actually put tacks in it. Now I feel like I need to make a second one for tacking. lol. Thank you for the tutorial! It will come in handy for this.ReplyDelete
I'm gonna try this, but probably flying solo first :)ReplyDelete
So awesome- it looks great!!! My mom made one of these for her travels but it's not nearly as professional looking! Love it!!ReplyDelete
I've really been wanting to do this too, you make it look so easy! Maybe you've convinced me to get on it! : )ReplyDelete
Love, love, love this idea! My husband and I have been talking about doing this ourselves to document our journeys as a military family. Now, I know how to make one! :-)ReplyDelete
Not even going to lie....I'm so doing this!ReplyDelete
Love this idea.. it looks great!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous idea!ReplyDelete
Love this idea! I have done the interactive maps online for where I've been, but never really thought to do it in real life. I'm so doing this when I get back to the States.ReplyDelete
Wow! That's a really hot looking plane in the first picture! It looks sleek, sexy, powerful, and strong all at once!ReplyDelete
Great idea! I have been working on something similar! When you add kids to the equation how will you mark family trips?ReplyDelete
That is super cute! I'm not sure I could remember and try to make a map after all this time. But it would be a really awesome gift!ReplyDelete
This is really cute! I had a map for when my husband first enlisted and was going to keep track of where he'd traveled for him, but then he was in Italy for 3 years and I left it at my parents' house. Woops!ReplyDelete
Now that I've been reminded about this fun ongoing project, I may have to start gathering the materials to make a new one, especially since we're overseas!
Have fun putting all those Italy and Europe pins on soon!
This is awesome. I'm hitting up Amazon for a map!ReplyDelete
what is the size of your map?ReplyDelete
Can I ask where you got the frame? I'm putting this idea together for a present and don't know if I need a shadow box frame or if a regular one will do (without the glass of course). Thank you & happy holidays!ReplyDelete
