Buffalo Sabres (15-33-8) at Ottawa Senators (25-21-11), 7:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Buffalo Sabres have managed just four goals over a three-game losing streak.
That is still more than they have in three previous meetings with the Ottawa Senators this season.
Buffalo aims to get its offense on track Thursday night when the club visits Ottawa for its final game before the Olympic break.
The Sabres sit last in the NHL with just 1.82 goals per game, well behind the next closest team in the Los Angeles Kings, who are netting an average of 2.26 goals per contest.
Buffalo has done little to boost its offensive numbers on a three-game slide, getting outscored 15-4.
Drew Stafford scored 5:58 into last night's meeting with Pittsburgh, but it was all Penguins from there as the Sabres suffered a 5-1 setback. Ryan Miller was charged with all five goals allowed on 34 shots, but his coach deflected the blame off his netminder.
"That had nothing to do with Ryan tonight," Sabres head coach Ted Nolan said. "It was the guys in front of him."
Buffalo played without defenseman Tyler Myers, who sat out with a lower-body injury. It is unknown if he will return tonight in the Sabres' last game before going on hiatus for the 2014 Olympic Games.
The Sabres will try to go into the break on a positive note following their final regular season meeting with the Senators this campaign.
The two clubs have combined for just five non-shootout goals in the previous three meetings, with the Senators winning twice. Ottawa has taken eight of the last 11 encounters overall as well as three straight and four of the last five played at home.
Ennis has one of two goals scored by the Sabres versus the Sens this season, while Miller has gone 1-2-0 while posting a 1.32 goals against average.
Stafford, who has five goals and seven points in his last six games played, leads Buffalo with 24 points (6 goals, 18 assists) in 39 career games against Ottawa. He has scored in back-to-back games since missing four straight with an upper-body injury.
Kyle Turris has notched three assists for the Senators versus the Sabres this season, while Craig Anderson has been in net for both wins. He has allowed one goal on 76 shots for a 0.50 GAA and .967 save percentage.
Anderson may start tonight after Robin Lehner came up with 46 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues.
Ottawa trailed 3-1 going into the third period before Turris, Milan Michalek and Jason Spezza scored during a 2:35 span, but the Blues did counter with a game-tying goal with 8:52 left in regulation.
Turris then came through with the winner in the fifth round of the shootout, salvaging the finale of a three-game road trip.
"To have the response we did in the third, to come out and not only tie it up but get the lead and force it to go into overtime, to get the two points like we did in a tough building to play in against a very good team is huge," Turris said.
Spezza added two assists, Erik Karlsson scored and Michalek ended a 13-game goal drought.
Ottawa, which plays in Boston on Saturday, is one point back of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.

I won't tell you much about this date. There is no scene to report, no interesting beginning-middle-end with links to the toys I used (though I did go through three cocks). I won't speak of the ways I took her, the ways she opened and clenched tight. The tender places we both touched and from which we backed off (too too fragile).

"Love, Loss & What I Wore" is currently playing at the Broadway Playhouse through December 4th, 2011. A group of monologues by women telling how that clothes that they wore affected the memories of their lives. The show starts off quite poignant, describing clothes that have some important meaning in the their lives. I was quite surprised how much I was enjoying the show with these poignant moments. The second half had quite a bit more humor, including at bit called "my first bra." The humor definitely moved the intermission less show along, but I longed for the stories found earlier in the show. The bra stories were part of the show called "the clothesline" where all 5 women on stay spoke telling their story.
I would highly recommend this she for women whether they be fashion concious or not. I would say that the crowd was easily 12 to 1 women to men. I undoubtedly was sure that the men in attendance were the supportive husband that tagged along or the brave soul that surprised his wife with tickets. Perhaps there were some gentlemen, like myself, that were there seeing the show as part of his Broadway In Chicago subscription. I am glad I saw the show, although I would not have without my season tix! This show is also very easy for the non-theatre goer to see since it is a collection of vignettes. The show is about an hour & 40 minutes with no intermission, so keep this in mind when buying drinks beforehand (I had two beers 7 could not make it all the way though)!
Playing through December 4, 2011, tickets are $68 & can purchased at Broadway in Chicago Photos from opening night

The second stage was fitted with a cluster of five J-2s, and a single J-2 powered the third stage. The J-2 used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as propellants.
J-2 engines were successfully used on every Apollo mission from the first manned test flight, Apollo 7, in 1968 to the last Moon landing mission, Apollo 17, in 1972. The Saturn V also launched the Skylab 1 space station in 1973, and a J-2 powered the second stage of the Saturn 1B that launched the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) in 1975.

Sir Charles Cartwright should have known better than to allow thirteen guests to sit down for dinner. For at the end of the evening one of them is deadchoked by a cocktail that contained no trace of poison.
Predictable, says Hercule Poirot, the great detective. But entirely unpredictable is that he can find absolutely no motive for murder.

MacBook or PC laptop for college?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 8/8/08 10:25 AM
Hi CNET! I'm ready to start college in a couple of months and
I'm shopping for a new laptop. It's an age-old question, but
it's the MacBook versus PC laptop question. I'm not here to
instigate a fight over Mac versus PC and how one is better
than another, but really to get an idea of what will be best
for me while I'm in school. I know that both laptops will do
pretty much the same, music download, word processing,
spreadsheets, digital photos, Internet and e-mailing. I
currently own a PC desktop at home and was thinking about
getting PC laptop, but a few friends suggested that I look
into an Apple MacBook as they do offer great incentive on
campus to buy one. If I get a MacBook now, is there a huge
learning curve switching from a PC to Mac? What makes them
different? Pros and cons for each? Does Mac work out
better for college--because maybe more students use them?
I'm not sure if that true. I'm quite iffy on the whole
MacBook transition, that's why I'm here to ask for advice and
learn from you. And by the way, my father says I have a limit
of $1,500 and no more than that. Thanks in advance for any
advice you can provide me.

All aboard the Gravy train!!!!!!!!

Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
sweet! can't wait to see one of these in person!
They have Al, Millsap, Kanter, and Favors, and they shot 28 3-pointers. Great game plan. Great win.
We just beat a playoff team without two of our best players.
Urge to kill fading.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
That felt goooood.
Get well AD. Team needs you kid.
And AD was playing so well before that sickening injury. Uggh. Get well soon young man.
Does anybody else find it ironic that in the Our Game ad, Eric Gordon says, "Our game is toughness"?
Producers have a good sense of humor.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Great game!! Beautiful win! What a nice runner from Vasquez to win the game!!! Now let's hope AD is healthy to come for tomorrow to play against the Bulls.
Dudes, what a game. My jaw bones are sore from gritting my teeth. I don't know if this was a good idea hoping on the Hornets bandwagon this year. 2 games and 2 barn burners!!! I can't take a whole season of this. I hope my boy Davis is ok. Great game!!!
Now Hornets fan lets pray Anthony Davis passes the conccusion test so we have him against Chicago
oh my god, not good for my old heart. was that a thrilling end. im proud of our team, without EG and mostly of the game also without AD. nice teamwork guys.
Such a seemingly minor bump on the head. Hope it really was a precautionary move.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis miss the next game. Even if just for precautionary reasons.
We lost the rebounding stat tonight but we won the game.David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
After 2 games, I can't believe how much better Aminu is from last year. May be a flash in the pan, or he could be finally harnessing all that raw talent he has.
Great win, no or slight concussion only for AD please Jesus.
I bet Davis is getting a CT Scan tonight. A blow to the temple can be serious, right 42?
Aminu was great again.
so why did davis only have 14 minutes
This team has so much heart. They play hard every time out. You can tell the team play with Eric Gordon's toughness and mindset

I would use the higher of your lottery picks and get a big man. If another team like say Boston wants to start to rebuild they may offer a rondo in exchange for a lottery pick. I'm not saying take a deal like that, but trust me Dell Demps will keep his options open.

Mendoza, Argentina's Vendimia Festival: Celebrating Beauty, Culture and Fine Wine
Strolling along brilliantly colored tiles in Plaza Italia, sipping on extraordinary red wine for $1 a glass and snacking on a dish of steamed escargot, I did a double take at the unmistakable sight and sound of bagpipes. Attending the annual wine festival of Mendoza, Argentina went against all my preconceptions of South America, yet felt so right.
The wine festival or "Vendimia," is a time of celebration for the harvest of the area's unique grape, the Malbec, which is used to make the savory Malbec wine, a red variety with a robust, yet fruity taste.
Happy Grapes
Argentina may be best known for its beef and tango, but few realize the quality of the country's unique wine. Malbec grapes flourish here in Argentina's central valley, east of the Andes in the Mendoza region. While Malbec originated in France, it has truly found its home in Mendoza. The crop has struggled in French vineyards, but due to a perfect combination of growing conditions like high altitude, strong sunlight and protection from the Andes, Malbec grapes are happy in Argentina. And what could go better with beef and tango than a brilliant red wine?
Mendoza's backdrop is spectacular with the snow-capped Andes looming high against the horizon, including Aconcagua, South American's highest peak at 23,000 ft. The area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts for climbing, mountain biking, kayaking and rafting.
Mendoza is normally a relatively laid-back town, especially when compared to Buenos Aires, Argentina's bustling capital city. The streets are wide and traveled by vintage European cars and bicycles and large, shady trees overhang the numerous outdoor cafes spilling onto the city's sidewalks.
Parades and Fairs
During Vendimia, the city morphs into a crowded hubbub of parades and street fairs where the wine is plenty and the province's capital bulges with pride.
Each region in the Mendoza province is represented in the festivities and selects a princess to compete for the harvest queen (la Reina de Vendimia). Argentina is known to have beautiful women and the princesses are no exception. The chosen beauties ride atop lavish floats from each region in a Friday and Saturday parade that travels through the city's downtown area.
The Harvest Queen is chosen Saturday night during a glitzy show held inside a large Greek-style amphitheater in Plaza San Martin, reminiscent of a North American beauty pageant. The sold-out crowd of 25,000 and television viewers are entertained by a grand light show, music and dancing. For those who can't get into the show can watch it on a big screen set up in Plaza Italia.
Top Notch Artistry
Argentina has a very eclectic heritage, made up of Spanish, Italian, German, Scottish, French and indigenous groups. Each European group maintains their culture in Argentina and celebrates their heritage through clubs and organizations. The groups take part in Vendimia, providing a plethora of tasty traditional food booths from their respective ethnicities. Most abundant are the Spanish booths, with an array of tapas and rich paellas filled with every type of seafood imaginable, cooked over a fire in a giant-sized frying pan.
The groups also showcase traditional costumes, dances and music. After a few glasses of Malbec, you might even join in the dancing. Walking around the buzzing plaza is like a whirlwind European vacation in one night.
Overwhelming Choices
If the tapas don't fill your belly, Mendoza has numerous parilladas that cook up the kind of beef Argentina is known for. A parillada is a steak house with a large open fire grill. The Argentines don't waste any meat, so the choices in cuts can be overwhelming. Point to what looks good and the chefs will hook you up with as much as you like.
The most popular restaurant is Las Tinajas, a buffet style parillada with seating for hundreds. A live tango band plays from a balcony overhead, inspiring the locals to sing along proudly and make numerous toasts. Las Tinajas doesn't offer only meat, but anything you might be craving with all-you-can-eat pasta of every variety, fried goods and a salad bar, as well as specialty dessert crepes made to order. Not including wine from a lengthy list of local and imported choices, the meal will only set you back around US $6 a person.

LAGRANGE – East Duplin volleyball coach Liz Turner doesn't like losing, but even she said that the Panthers' first-set loss to North Lenoir on Wednesday night might have been a good thing.
"Sometimes when you lose a set it's not always a bad thing," she said.
While the Panthers fell 25-23 to the Hawks in the first set of a nonconference match, East Duplin managed to win the next three to move to 9-0 overall.
The Panthers got by the Hawks 26-24 in the second set before winning 25-22 and 25-15 in the next two to record the victory.
"North Lenoir has a great coach and they are a very scrappy team," Turner said. "We started out sloppy today, but luckily when push came to shove, we did the things we had to do to win.
"We switched up some stuff that took away momentum from North Lenoir. Amber Hall came in the third set and had some key kills."
Hall ended with 19 kills.
Jami White had 43 assists and 10 digs, Morgan Sanderson had 32 digs, Carson Williams had 30 digs and Makayla Byrd added 11 kills for the Panthers, who were coming off a three-set road victory over East Central 2-A Conference foe Southwest on Tuesday.

I'd go for something slower, like a TeeBird until you have the technique to throw the ultra fast drivers as they need to be thrown. Remember that until recently, the record D was set with a TeeBird (and is still held with a Valkyrie, I believe). It will help your technique in the long run. Trust me.
My putter still doinks harder than yours!
Ummm i can handle a fast disc.
PDGA # 50 7 25 currently rated 858
star - the pro will beat in really quick
we were talking about high speed drivers on another thread - I think some high speed discs are easier to throw like the vulcan, wahoo, archon, or possibly even the new teedevil
You might want to consider lighter weights sub 170 grams - get more distance out of the high speed discs
If you want drivers you can really get something out of - I would pick teebirds, leopards, archon, valkyrie - something with control and speed - By the summer you will be amazed how far they fly with how little effort compared to fighting the big mean discs on the market that call themselves distance discs

Teedevil is akin to a less stable Destroyer. Sammy threw mine and liked it and he doesn't have tremendous arm speed. Its one of those discs that could potentially fill a niche in your bag.
All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.
I backhand as a hobby, I putt to pay the bills.
Good input

Everybody wants the newest, fastest discs. The only high speed driver that a shorter arm needs is the Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie, along with the Leopard, are probably the two most versatile, true discs ever made.
Vulcans are garbage... way too touchy. Sure, you can crush it, but they are so easy to over torque.
Mike, I have two or three Vulcans I will sell you. Different weights, even.

Molly Webster
Best described as someone who likes to "sit in the woods and stare," Molly fell in love with science in the ponds, wildlife, and fields of Ohio. She studied biology as an undergrad, and then spent time living on couches searching for a destiny she could only describe as "writing about science," at which point Molly wound her way to NYU's science reporting program to become a journalist. As one, she's had the jam-packed experience of reporting and producing stories for radio, magazine and Live events, including Scientific American and National Geographic Adventure; the World Science Festival; and WNYC's The Takeaway and Freakonomics Radio. It feels pretty surreal to call Radiolab home, but that's not stopping her from saying that it's so.

Buster Selected as Conference Carolinas Freshman of the Year
November 7, 2013
HIGH POINT, NC - Conference Carolinas has announced their post-season awards and freshman forward Brae Buster was tabbed as the league's Freshman of the Year, as voted by the head coaches. She was also selected to the Second Team All-Conference.
Brae Buster scored five of her eight goals on the year in Conference Carolinas play and finished the regular season in the top 10 in goals, points, shots and game-winning goals. Her best performance came against Limestone on September 25, when she accounted for each of Pfeiffers two goals, including the winner with 33 seconds left in double overtime to secure the win. She also scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 win at Converse and had a three-game stretch in conference play where she scored four goals. Her offense helped the Falcons finish the year as the second highest scoring team in Conference Carolinas play.
In her first post-season match, Buster scored twice in Pfeiffer's 3-1 quarterfinal victory over Converse.
The Falcons look to continue their march through the Conference Tournament as they host King at 2 p.m. this afternoon.

Excellent!!by Nancy - verified purchaser
Every aspect of this jacket is wonderful. I am tall and was very happy to see a women's jacket come in a tall. Tour Master struck it right with all the features this item has. I do wish I had gotten it on closeout and saved forty bucks. Even so, it is worth every cent. I've been riding for decades and this is now my favorite year round jacket.

PDT Staff Writer
After a scare with breast cancer in 2011, Connie George, of Franklin Furnace, urges women to have their regular mammograms; but waiting just a few months might also have saved her life.
George received her mammogram order in August of 2010. Normally she wouldn't put off that kind of checkup but this time, she said, she felt like there was something wrong and she wasn't ready to face it yet — not with a cruise vacation coming up, and then the holidays. So she waited until January of 2011. That can sometimes be a bad idea, but this time her reticence might have paid off.
"They called me the next day and told me, 'Connie, we want to take a better look'," George said.
She has worked at Southern Ohio Medical Center in Portsmouth since 1965, fresh out of high school. Today she's the secretary in the emergency services departments, and she's seen a lot of different cases over the years. She looked at her medical records and she knew immediately what she was looking at.
"I was like, 'oh crap.' It said spiculated lesions, and you don't ever want to see that word on your mammogram. I know what that means. I know a solid tumor with spiculated borders is not good," she said.
After several tests, just to be sure, doctors confirmed what George already knew in her gut; she had breast cancer. The good news was that they had caught it early. So early, in fact, if she had gone for her regular order in August of 2010 it might not have even shown up yet — and then she would have waited 12 or 18 months until her next exam, and by then it might have been much worse.
"I came out of there crying. It was such a shock because I saw that solid lesion with irregular borders, and I asked Dr. (Janan) Alkilidar, could it be a fibroangioma, which will also sometimes show up as a solid lesion. She said, 'honey, it has malignant characteristics.' I knew she knew. And I knew," George said. "I came out of that room and I went out into the hallway and I almost collapsed, I was crying so hard."
George was very afraid of having to endure chemotherapy and its long-term side effects. Luckily it was still small enough that she was able to avoid that option, and instead had a lumpectomy surgery and just six weeks of radiation treatment at the SOMC Cancer Center in Portsmouth. Through it all, she said her family and co-workers were very supportive.
"I came to work everyday. I really rarely had any side effects, except the last two weeks I was very tired. A couple of days I would come in here (to work) and turn out the lights and lay down. I would lay my head down on the desk for about a half-hour or so, then I'd get up and go," she said.
She said the staff at SOMC all treated her wonderfully, and she was amazed at how far treatment has come.
"The radiation treatments, you go, get undressed, get on the table. Two minutes, you're done. That shocked me. I thought it would be a bad process. It was nothing like what I thought it was going to be. To me it was just like having a bad cold," George said.
Even though George is in remission now, she maintains her regular mammograms. Earlier this year she thought the cancer might have returned, which she said scared her even more than the last time because this would almost certainly mean chemo and full mastectomy. Thankfully, she said, all turned out well after all.
"One of my best friends is going through chemo now. She's got breast cancer. When we talked about it, she said, 'You were so strong going through it. You dealt with it so well.' and I said, 'No. Have you cried a million tears?'" George said. "It's still very emotional to talk about because it was such a shock. I'm healthy. I've never had anything wrong with me. Then all of the sudden you're dealing with, 'Hey, I have cancer'."
George said she has female friends who tell her they've never had a mammogram, and she urges them and every women to have them done regularly.
"It saved my life. If I had not have had it done, and if she (Dr. Alkilidar) had not been so particular in looking at them like she did, who knows what would have been. It would have been another year gone by, because chances are I wouldn't have felt it because it was so deep. My message to women out there is, do not go without your mammograms. Please," she said.
Editor's note: This is part of a series of stories noting the triumphs of local women defeating breast cancer in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Arrived at 2 PM. Very quiet, only person in line before me. Was directed to an unfriendly Eastern European guy (I think, by his accent) who took my cc and id and immediately put my money back on the counter. I asked if I could get a complimentary upgrade. He told me no.; that the hotel was 96% booked (on a Monday afternoon in the convention-free boiling summer?). When I expressed disappointment, he told me that the "Deluxe" room I would get would have no view (not a bad view, he emphasized, but "no" view), was 250 square feet, hadn't been remodeled in years and had an old tube tv. BUT that they had every tower, every view available for a premium payment of $40+ per night. Strange with the hotel being "96% booked." I've been comp upgraded to modern rooms with great views at Wynn, Paris, Flamingo, and the Palazzo all during the same week in the summer and all just for asking. Never again to Caesars.
It was a sunday afternoon on superbowl weekend, long lines....I was on a business trip and company had reserved the room to the basic standard room. Put the $20 between the credit card and DL, and they guy asked if I wanted anything, and I told him a complimentary upgrade, and he was cool, was talkative and put me in the newest tower, with a nice larger room.
Check in was fairly busy received a younger male clerk and made the attempt. Handed over the sandwich and he asked what the Bills were for. Said we were hoping for a complimentary upgrade if one was available to a room with a nicer view. His response was and you thought this would get you a nicer view? (very snarky) We ended up getting a room over the parking garage with taps that did not work.
We arrived at the hotel on a sunday at 11a, and check in wasnt until 3p. We were served by a young lady (Yeleny) and she told us that our room wasnt ready yet as it wasnt 3p, but if we wanted a room right away, it would be $30. My husband and I said that we were in no rush and that we would wait until 3p and that we would leave our suitcases with the bellman. When she asked for id, my husband slid over his cc, $20 and his id, and then asked "if there were any complimentary upgrades available". As soon as he asked her that, she had a small smirk on her face and asked "What kind of upgrade did we have in mind". Since we already paid for a King size bed, I asked if it was possible if we could get his and her bathroom sinks. That was pretty much all I asked for. She said "lemme see what I can do. Can I see your id please" my husband pointed his card that he slid in front of her as she forgot it was there. She saw it and then split the card in two and saw the $20 in between. In a blink of an eye, she flicked the $20 beneath her keyboard and said "lets see what options we have here" she then proceeded to tell us we could either have the Palace Tower which a room was ready for us, or the Augustus Tower which we would have to come back after 4p for the keys as the room wasnt ready yet. We asked her what her preference would be and she said the Augustus Tower, as this room goes for $600/night and on NYE goes for $900/night. Also our window had a fantastic view of the Bellagio water fountation show. So we booked the Augustus Tower. She then asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. We told her we got engaged last year and married this year and it was our first trip together as husband and wife. She then said she would make a note in the computer (I think because she would have a reason as to why she upgraded us). After some smal chit chat we were done. We would do it again in a heart beat. Next stop...Wynn!!!!
Got to CP about 11:45am and was standing in a short line for a young female clerk, but a new guy opened up a terminal and called me over. In addition to getting a room for myself and soon to be wife (got married that night) I wanted to get the keys for my mom's room since she wasn't in yet. Gave the $20 sandwich and asked about comp upgrade, and he said no problem, and that he would upgrade us both, from Forum Tower regular rooms, to Palace Tower Jr. Suites with his/her baths and Jacuzzi tubs. Fiance/wife was very happy. View was of the pool which was also nice.
Arrived about noon. Went to first clerk that greeted us as we approached the desk. Had a twenty fully visible - folded in half between ID and credit card. Clerk was very friendly, found our reservation and confirmed it at Roman Tower. At that point I asked if there was a possibility that a complimentary upgrade might be available. The clerk then set the twenty by his keyboard and said, let me see if I can find you something really nice. Lots of gracious small talk, very polite, and the Palace Tower Junior Suite option was offered. Beautiful, very comfortable room with a great view! We had a lovely stay. Casino and restaurants are first class. We were in town for the NASCAR weekend and will surely book Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Palace for return accomodations!
I booked a Forum Tower room for my wife and myself on the Caesars Palace website. We checked in on a Thursday around 1 PM. It wasn't too busy -- one person in front of me in line. Just as the guy in front of me went to check in, an attractive young female employee just arrived to her check in terminal and motioned me over. When she asked for credit card and id, I handed over the sandwich. Before I could even say anything, she gave me a big smile and said "You'd like something really nice!". I kind of laughed and she went to work. She came up with two upgrades in the Palace Tower. One was on the 12th floor with a pool view, but was not ready, the other was ready but on the 6th floor with no view. As I tried to decide, she engaged in small talk , asking me if I was there for business or pleasure, ever been here before, etc. All the while, typing away on her computer. I was about to select the 6th floor room when she said "let me see if I can move some things around". After another minute of typing and small talk, she found a 14th floor, 500 square foot, pool view room. She was great and it was worth it!
There were a number of people working but only one young female. I was attempting to make my way to her in line but a young man at the Diamond Check In waved me over. I was a bit nervous seeing that this wasn't the normal check in but I figured I would try it anyways. ID, $20, Credit Card. I told him it was my first time in Vegas and I was wondering if there were any complimentary upgrades. I also wasn't sure if this would work because this is the week of CES and a lot of hotels are pretty filled up. He typed about about 10 minutes while chit chatting. Finally he said he was able to upgrade me and we ended up on the 45th floor overlooking the Bellagio which is where I am typing this from right now.
We arrived at 9 AM; went to a young female clerk, who straight up said no check-in till 4 and that I could leave my number for them to call. Bit discouraging. Then they called at 11:30, so we rushed back and waited for cute mid 20's Hispanic male clerk, who was amazing. He asked if we were celebrating any occassion, let him know we were celebrating my mom's bday and he said "Well, we have to make sure you guys have the best time @ Caesars then!". Slipped the $20 sandwich with a smile; he graciously kept it by the keyboard then announced that an 11th floor Palace Tower room with a great view and a jacuzzi tub was the complimentary upgrade he had in mind for us. Wonderful!!!
Arrived around 6:30pm on a Tuesday for a two night stay. My check-in line was being served by 3 clerks, a black female in her 20s, a hispanic male in his 40s, and a white male who appeared to be a supervisor based on the additional text on his name tag. Was hoping for the female, but got the hispanic guy instead. Simply slid the $20 sandwich across the counter when prompted for ID and credit card. Didn't even use the "complementary upgrades" line. He snatched it up, placed the $20 bill next to his keyboard and asked, "Oh, looking for something special?" I said my wife and I were town for a quick trip, that we were married at Caesars several years ago (which is true), and this was an impromptu anniversary gift (sort of). We had some brief friendly chit-chat about marriage, kids, etc. He set us up in the Augustus Tower in a fantastic suite with a North facing Strip view. Well worth the $20 considering we booked the room online at the last minute for $62/night.
Been reading about this $20 trick for a while now, and I finally had a chance to try it out on a weekend (sorta) trip to Vegas with my girlfriend.
We arrived at Caesars quite early (it was about 9:30 am and the air was still cold and wet from the previous night's rain) and went to check in. There were a couple of desks completely free of people checking in, so I wandered over to one of them where a young, professional sounding lady was standing. I gave her my name and she looked up my room (which, because of the fact that it was extremely early in the day, was not ready yet). She finally found a room that was being cleaned and would be available very shortly, so she asked for my ID and credit card. The moment of truth was coming...
I fiddled with my wallet for a second before slipping the $20 between the two cards and handing the stack to her. I immediately asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available, and before I could bat an eyelash, she told me that the hotel was very booked, and no upgrades were available at the time. Bummer! I said--very dejectedly--thanks anyway, and she handed me back my twenty.
So no upgrade for me (even though the basic room was nice and comfy). It seemed like the clerk I had chosen was new, and possibly wasn't too keen on giving out free upgrades. She didn't even see the $20 bill until after she had told me that there were no upgrades available. I completely understand her unwillingness to give out upgrades, especially if she just started working there. But alas, I will try again next time! Hopefully I will get someone who's a little more in the know about it.
We have always wanted to stay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas but it was always out of our price range. That was until we joined Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Total Rewards. We were going to stay at Caesars in one of their classic rooms comped. for five nights. Now we arrived at their lobby at about 8 pm Monday evening Nov. 7th. The lobby was empty. I was shocked. We walked to the desk and I saw this very attractive woman with a great smile looking at us so we went to her. I told her my name and confirmation # and she had our reservation in seconds.The clerk then asked me for my licence and credit card . I had place a twenty dollar bill between the two and as I handed to her I smiled and said we were in Vegas celeberating our 44th anniversary and was wondering if she had an free upgrades. This woman congratulated us and tped some more and then she said if we spent the night in the classic room they could upgrade us the next day because al of the quailty upgrades were sold out for that night. We said sure. Boy was I glad we did wait. Thanks to the twenty dollar tipidea we now had a beautiful room in the Augustus toer room # 3652. .It had a hugh living area that had a sofa and two tables . It also had a big dresser with a 32 inch flat screen tv on the wall that swivled. The view was awesome. We could se on one side the Bellagio and the fountains. Now we could also see the Eifel Tower and the over sizes balloon as well as the Flamingo and that area. This room also had a BIG bathroom with a hugh walk in shower and a large whirlpool .Now across the room facing the tub we had a portable tv on the wall I could watch from the tub. All in all Caesars is a MUST stay if you can.
After waiting in the short line for the three people in front of me, I went to the next available desk clerk, handed over the sandwich, and mistakenly said "do you have any complementary rooms available?" "Let me check," she said, while I corrected myself to say "complementary upgrades". A few keystrokes later, she asked if I'd been there before (yes) and what room I'd been in before (Augustus tower with a view of the valet parking area). She upgraded me from the classic room (low conventioneer rate) to the 33rd floor (probably 10 stories up) with a view of the Bellagio. Yay! She then took the sandwich, pulled out the $20, showed it to me, and asked what it was for. "For you," I said, "thanks." She was appreciative and pocketed the $20.
We had used this before, last year same time, same place. Tucked a twenty in between id and credit card. I asked if there were any free comp upgrdes. The gentleman said I'll check. After a minute or two of keyboarding, we got an upgrade to the Palace Tower, 19th floor, with a strip view. Well worth the twenty!!!
We came to Caesars for a 4 night stay, with a Classic Room Booked. We went up to a guy in his late 20s-early 30s and told him how excited we were to be there. I gave him my name, and put a $50 bill in between my driver's license and credit card, and simply asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. He said let me check, started typing on the computer, then said he could give us the Augustus Tower Suite. It was double the space of the Classic Room, had incredible view of the Bellagio Fountains... a great Jacuzzi Tub, and was on the 32nd floor.
4:00 pm check in. Didn't have a choice with which clerk to use. First available was a female in her 30's very attractive. I had been comped a deluxe room in the Palace tower already which is a nice room but thought, what the heck. Slipped a twenty between my license and credit card and asked if there were any complimentry upgrades available. She put the twenty aside and went to town on the keyboard. Then said she could put me in a luxury room in the Augustus tower overlooking the fountains at the Bellagio. Awesome view!! Well worth the 20 bucks. Plus you don't have to drag your luggage through the casino since the Augustus Tower is right by the front desk. Thank you for this website! I just discovered it last month and check in will never be the same again.
Checked in about 5pm on Thursday. Sandwiched the $20 and asked if any upgrades available. Clerk handed it back and said he would check. We were upgraded to an awesome room in the Augustus Tower (with jacuzzi tub) for no additional charge. We had booked four nights via our Total Rewards offer - so all nights were comped. The clerk didn't even reach for the $20 on the counter so we sort of flicked it over to him with the credit card and said Thank you very much!! Had a great time. Everyone was so friendly.
Checked in Sun around midnight....there was a bit of a lineup...no choice in clerk...Asian middle aged woman....our party was made up of 4 60ish women...we wanted adjoining rooms...had booked classic rooms with Vegas.com...I asked if there were any complimentary upgrades...we were told that they were overbooked...and for some reason they couldn't find our second room...the only way we could stay together was to get a two room suite...when asked if that was complimentary she said no...things were not looking good!!!!!....at the beginning of our discussion I had placed the $20 sandwich on the counter....this was not going as I wanted so I took the money out of the sandwich and put it in my pocket....then she started typing and talking on the phone for the longest time....when she was finished she said she thought we would like the accommodation she had arranged for us....we were given the Rainman Suite for that night...two stories with the best view of the strip at night..google it !!!!!!!....we didn't leave there till Mon evening ...for the rest of our stay we were upgraded to adjoining rooms in the Palace Tower...needless to say I made sure that she got the 20 back
We looked for a male clerk in his 20s and simply asked if an upgrade was possible, he started looking before I could offer the sandwiched $20. At first I thought there was no chance as the hotel was sold out, here we are in a much better room than I thought we would get.
Arrived at 3:00 and there was a line so I was unable to choose. Later/middle aged woman took my $50 (5 nights) and didn't upgrade me AT ALL. I was very polite, but it didn't work. I was stuck in the Roman Tower while my friends who didn't try the sandwich trick ended up in the Palace and Augustus Towers with 700 sqft rooms with views of the pools. I got a room with a view of the roof of an adjacent buliding on the "50th" floor, which is really the 2nd floor of the Roman Tower. I had no bathtub, the tv in the bathroom didn't work and the handles on my dresser were broken. I will never stay at Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's again. Perhaps she was trying to punish my attempt? Hope she enjoyed the $50! I could have used it at the Roulette table. :)

Comments about Osprey Raptor 6 Hydration Pack 2013:
So far this pack has been awesome! I have been using Camelbak for the last 10 years and I am glad I made the switch to Osprey. This pack fits very well with no pressure points and almost no unwanted movement. I love the features. Like the tool specific roll that you can access without having to dig to the bottom of your bag, also the magnet on the water valve is sweet! There is plenty of storage and a pocket for a cell phone or sunglasses.

LOS ANGELES For decades, Robert Pimentel was a teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District. During that time he raised a family, coached soccer and avoided problems with the law.
But police said during the last school year, Pimentel fondled some of his female students at George De La Torre Jr. Elementary School and even a co-worker that led to his arrest this week.
On Thursday, the 57-year-old appeared in court and didn't enter a plea. His attorney maintained the 15 felony counts his client is facing are false.
"If you look at the record, before this, Pimentel has had a pretty exemplary life," said his lawyer Richard Knickerbocker. "He has no arrest record, for anything."
It took nearly a year to bring charges against Pimentel and the investigation began just weeks after the arrest of another Los Angeles elementary school teacher, Mark Berndt, who has pleaded not guilty to 23 counts of lewd conduct involving students.
Following that scandal, the district mandated that parents be notified within 72 hours of a report of a suspected abuser, and that each case be reviewed by several human resources staffers to ensure it is reported to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
District officials vowed to investigate molestation claims and move quickly to remove suspected teachers from classrooms while investigations are ongoing which apparently occurred in Pimentel's case.
Police were contacted in March by the parents of five students who said Pimentel had touched their children inappropriately. District officials immediately removed him from campus and notifications were sent out.
More than 70 interviews were conducted during the police investigation, and 20 female students were found to have been victimized, Los Angeles police Capt. Fabian Lizarraga said. Another victim was a female teacher who complained that Pimentel had inappropriately touched her, police said.
The alleged abuse occurred in Pimentel's fourth-grade classroom during school hours and in some cases was witnessed by other students, Lizarraga said. The sexual abuse involved fondling over and underneath clothing, he said.
The Pimentel case may have been the first in the district that fell under the new policy, district Superintendent John Deasy said.
"It was very close to the first, if not the first," he said. "I don't know if it was a direct result (of the Miramonte case). There was a potentially serious problem there and we acted and did what we did."
Lizarraga added that although there was a spike in parent complaints after the Miramonte case, there wasn't any tie to the Pimentel case.
"These were some really alert parents knowing their kids and noticing subtle changes in their personalities," Lizarraga said.
The accusations against Pimentel span eight months, dating back to September 2011.
In a separate case, a jury in December ordered the district to pay a boy molested by an elementary school teacher $6.9 million - among the largest awards in the history of the school system. The jury found the district liable for the repeated molestation of the 10-year-old student in 2008 and 2009 by teacher Forrest Stobbe at Queen Anne Elementary School in the city's mid-Wilshire district.

Education in all its forms is the central mission of Hamilton College. At Hamilton it is understood that the pivotal commitment of the Faculty, Administration, and Staff to the intellectual and personal development of students is the College's most important and enduring tradition.
Hamilton is a coeducational, residential liberal arts community whose members value and seek intellectual and cultural diversity. The College encourages respect for political, religious, ethnic, racial, physical, generational, sexual, and affectional differences because such respect promotes free and open inquiry, independent thought, and mutual understanding. Teaching and learning link the classroom to other aspects of student life and contribute to an educational environment that supports civility, respect, and meaningful student-faculty interaction. The Faculty represents men and women who are dedicated to the promotion of academic achievement, human decency, and personal growth. Hamilton students talk about "working with" rather than "taking courses from" their professors. Undergraduates spend time with their teachers identifying problems, clarifying questions, experimenting with solutions, and frequently doing collaborative research. Although opportunities for social and recreational activities abound, Hamilton is, above all, an academic community in which challenging intellectual work is the main focus.
The fundamental purpose of a Hamilton education is to enable young women and men of unusual gifts to realize their fullest capacities, for their own benefit and that of the societies in which they will live. The College's motto, "Know Thyself," summarizes the primary goal of a liberal arts education. At Hamilton we believe that the proper mixture of good students, dedicated faculty, and a well-designed curriculum offers the best hope for a lifetime of continuing learning, intellectual exploration, and personal fulfillment. As the primary intellectual guide, the Faculty determines the fundamental structure and the basic requirements in light of the liberal arts tradition and its appropriate adaptation to the contemporary world.
In sum, our mission is to provide an educational experience that emphasizes academic excellence and the development of students as human beings, as we prepare them to make choices and accept the responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic world of intellect and diversity.

The Fallen Man
The Fallen Man (Mass Market Paperback)
Human bones lie on a ledge under the peak of Ship Rock mountain, the remains of a murder victim undisturbed for more than a decade. Three hundred miles across the Navajo reservation, a harmless old canyon guide is felled by a sniper's bullet. Joe Leaphorn, recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, believes the shooter and the skeleton are somehow connected and recalls a chilling puzzle he was previously unable to solve. But Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee is too busy to take an interest in a dusty cold case . . . until the reborn violence of it hits much too close to home.

I never read a word he wrote but sent him a message when I saw interest in neuroscience and Buddhism.
He responded with obvious ignorance about Buddhism and a vitriolic mean spirited comment about a scholar of hugely greater depth, breadth, and quality of motivation who is minimum two decades older and more experienced. Since Sam is presenting himself as something he is not with respect to this topic, all other topics are up for grabs….. as is his moral and ethical quality. In fact, they are in the toilet.
Then I poked around the net a bit and found sam has a reputation for overstepping his limits of knowledge about topics.
He claims knowledge about Buddhism but again his nasty vitriolic comments betray someone who even if he was getting good guidance in Buddhism has gone nowhere. I know he is not getting good guidance since I have much experience where he claims to get it, its is poor. Due to his clear problems, possessed by his own negative emotional issues, he has never gotten to first base in Buddhism and never will .... because .... the very first thing required before even getting training .... is rock solid ethical foundation which he clearly lacks.
This guy is a fraud and is deeply personally impoverished.

These cards look great and will be an awesome addition to our table decor at the wedding. Since we are having table names instead of table numbers, I requested a change in the format of the text on the card. A rep from Magnet Street called me the next day to be sure exactly what I wanted and then sent me a proof to approve before production. She was so nice and personable, even congratulating me on my upcoming nuptials.

It is commonly said that "being certain about atheism is just as bad as being certain about religious belief."
There is a common misconception that staunch religious belief and atheism act as counterweights to one another, and are both equally arrogant and unbending with their claims of certainty. In my latest column I attempt to dispel this myth by describing the fundamental difference between arguing for a claim in the absence of evidence (religious belief) and arguing against a claim due to the absence of evidence to support it (atheism).
I'd like input from some agnostics and atheists on this issue.

Ask the CIO - Oct. 3, 2013
Listen to the full show.
Jump to main content.
Thursday - 10/3/2013, 10:33am EDT
Listen to the full show.
When employees of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency need technology help, they can't wait for a call back. The Treasury Department's bureau examines banks and other institutions, and time is of the essence.
That's why Ed Dorris makes customer service a top priority.
Dorris, the chief information officer of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, said a major goal for his organization is to provide "hassle-free" technology.
"We've taken a hard look at how we provide hassle-free service as well as one of our fundamental goals of our strategic strategy is to reduce the burden on our customer, the examiners. We want to give them more time to do their job," Dorris said. "We do that primarily through operational excellence. We focus on a couple of key cornerstones here. One is optimize our processes. A process can be complex dealing with tier one or tier two service or it could be our patching. We rely on Lean Six Sigma techniques and practices. We benchmark with other organizations to get the leading practices that they've employed. We don't reinvent the wheel."
One of the practices that is having a significant impact on the idea of operational excellence is the customer surveys the CIO organization runs.
Dorris said the annual survey is based on a random sample of customers and focuses on the tools, the products, response time and services from the CIO's office.
"We take back the responses and develop action plans, which are very informative," he said. "It's based on empirical data, but the most value comes out of the comments, the narrative that are provided by individuals in the headquarters and across the field. We need to hear the voice of the customer. What do they need? When do they need it? How do they need it? That allows us to set our direction, our priorities."
One area that customers said needed work was the technology helpdesk.
Dorris said the most recent survey's overwhelming response was examiners wanted to get their problem solved with the first call. They didn't want to have to wait for a call back because they were on the road and moving from bank to bank.
He said OCC has integrated its tier one and tier two helpdesk to simplify and improve the process.
"We've also implemented metrics," Dorris said. "We are tracking things like cycle time, first call resolution, dropped calls and call waiting periods, and we can really see where we are performing and meeting the customer's needs, versus where we need to increase resources, improve our knowledge based articles or tweak our processes."
Dorris is taking a similar approach in other areas of his mission.
For example, OCC consolidated data centers from three to one, and at the same time updated the management and technology that is used.
Dorris said he visited other organizations to learn how best to implement the data center.
"It's a lights out facility. We have no staff on site. Everything is done remotely through our network operating center. We do send staff out there on a scheduled basis to do upgrades requiring physical moving of servers. It's a big change for us," he said. "It really has allowed us to address some of the expanding or big data needs coming out of Dodd-Frank and other initiatives in terms of having the power we need, the floor space, the connectivity and then the redundancy."
Dorris said OCC will release a request for information in the coming months in preparation for a solicitation for improved and expanded disaster recovery capabilities.
"We are doing a business impact assessment on the critical business needs, like restore time objectives. We are working with the executives and business units to define what that is," he said. "We also will be moving forward looking at options around disaster recovery whether it's a managed service or similar to what we do with our data center, where we look for a facility and lease that facility, and run the disaster recovery center with our in-house resources."
