Subject: RE: Face Off
Time: 12:45 p.m. ET Chazz, Did you ever think about going the "Chaz/Chazz" route? Were you afraid of being compared to Zabka in "Back to School?" My friend Sheck has a Chazz Fetish. He refers to everyone in the sports world named Charles as "Chazz" (like Barkley, Noll and Woodson). For whatever reason, it always cracks us up. He even called Prince Charles "Prince Chazz" once. Of course, this is the same guy who (just last week) spent 10 minutes debating over the following question: "If you were single and completely unattached, would you rather have consecutive Super Bowl titles for the Pittsburgh Steelers (his favorite team), or one night with Josie Maran?"
Chuck Klosterman
To: Bill Simmons
Subject: RE: Face Off
Time: 2 p.m. ET Bilbo, I think the fact that you prefer "Singles" over "Reality Bites" destroys your credibility, both as a "sports guy" and as a "guy." Here is what I mean: The Matt Dillon character in "Singles" and the Ethan Hawke character in "Reality Bites" are -- as one-dimensional caricatures -- the same person. It's just that in "Singles," that persona is painted as pathetic and stupid; in "Reality Bites," it's expressed as brilliant but troubled. This is why "Singles" is not -- in any context -- a youth movie. It's about old people (one of whom is a city planner!) who just happen to listen to Soundgarden. It's a film for people who bought Heart records when they were first released. Meanwhile, "Reality Bites" is about what happens when the counter culture becomes the mainstream culture, which defines it as socially progressive. Which is why I support Ricky Williams in totality. First of all, I don't think Ricky Williams is an unambitious stoner. I think he just hates football, and I don't think there was ever a time when that wasn't true. But -- like so many people -- he was socialized to assume that he had to play football simply because he was good at it. He had this natural gift for running off tackle, so he tried to convince himself that this was his identity. And this is how people who live within the "Singles" paradigm think about life. Individuals living inside the "Singles" paradigm argue that Ricky is making a mistake; these are the same kind of people who think Winona Ryder should have ended up marrying the Ben Stiller's character because he had a better job. Ricky Williams represents intellectual freedom. Prior to this season, I never really cared about Ricky Williams, and I generally assumed he was going to have a Herschel Walker-like pro career (i.e., he would evolve into a one-dimensional north-south runner who'd have a few big statistical years without achieving anything close to greatness). As it turns out, he's now my favorite NFL athlete since Nolan Cromwell. (Also . . . I think part of the reason so many aging sportswriters attacked Williams is because they couldn't deconstruct his logic. Athletes usually express retarded platitudes whenever they try to explain their behavior, such as, "I'm just doing what's best for my family." A sentence like that could mean anything, so it ultimately means nothing. However, how does one respond to a guy who overtly admits he wants to go to Asia in order to be high all the time? It's like trying to deconstruct the lyrics to the song "Peaches.") As for your questions: 1. What's the defining '80s movie?

But the menu is largely Indian standards—curries, biriyanis, tandoori grills—that are the best in town (which isn't saying a lot in a town with few Indian restaurants). Nepalese dishes include momo (dumplings) and Kathmandu shrimp chili.

What exactly was the point of the scene where they find B4 and are chased? What would have happened to them had they been caught or killed? What was Shinzon's plan with that?
Shinzon's plan was to wait until he was a week from death, then lure Picard with the lure of exciting offroad action so he could capture Picard. Shinzon likes playing the odds, you see.
It's unclear what would have happened if 1) the Enterprise failed to notice the positron emission, 2) the Enterprise did the prudent thing and took several weeks to return B-4 to a Starfleet research facility, 3) Starfleet sent regular ambassadors to meet Shinzon instead of Picard, or 4) Picard was killed while playing dune buggy.
I doubt there was a backup plan for any of these things. I suspect the Shinzon would have hit the fan.

Of course I have always had the benefit of an experienced crew, but it is usually dealt with pretty calmly. Doing it by myself in the middle of nowhere?
Can't say I would want to try that!
That guy definitely deserves your "BFSer" award.
The guy in the video before that? He was just a hack and an idiot!
Luck had a whole lot to do with it actually. And I don't mean how he handled the whole thing...I mean one thing in particular...
While he was working on the hydro and the broach began, look at where he put his right hand. Now watch that mainsheet and big-ass block scream across it. The fact that he still has a hand was luck. The rest of it was pure BFS.
Yeah, the other dude is complete mess - but with a sense of humor. That's why I like him.

Can you shut the device off and then restart it? I don't have a huge volume of spent fixer so i am wondering what the affects would be to start and stop the device when I obtain more spent fixer.
Printable View
Can you shut the device off and then restart it? I don't have a huge volume of spent fixer so i am wondering what the affects would be to start and stop the device when I obtain more spent fixer.
over the last few years i have had a poll running asking what people do with their spent fixer.
it was what prompted me to becoming a distributer / dealer for the silver magnet.
many years ago i sold similar items ( electrolytic, ion transfer, and evaporation devices ) but they were very expensive, and geared towards
large labs, medical offices and clinics. unlike what i used to sell, the silver magnet is small, affordable ... and pays for itself quickly.
over the last few years i have sold many of them, and with your help have
helped remove some of the silver from the waste stream, and hopefully put a few dollars ( or pounds or euros or ... ) in your pocket.
a week or so ago i started another poll now that it a few years has passed, and it looks like silver recovery has made inroads, that is always great news ....
here are a few entries from the poll-thread that i am re-posting to give people an idea of what the silver magnet is all about ....
feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the magnet or any other silver recovery questions ( i sell other things too ),
i am usually around and if i don't know the answer/s i will be happy to find out !
I am looking at getting one of these for the university darkroom I teach at. How can I tell when it is full and needs to be replaced? We go through a lot of fixer and silver since we collect all fixer used in film, printing and color processes.
Hi John and all,
I could have sent PM to you, but I think it's better to post here for collective knowledge benefit.
And in fact, the questions are for all of APUGers that are silver chemistry savvy.
I bought a Silver magnet a little more than a year ago, and I have a few question, now with the past experience :
- As I don't produce a high spent fixer throughput, I store the used fixer in a container, waiting to have enough to worth desilvering. This container, usually in plastic, with the time, get plated with grey sludge, that I presume to be silver sulfur. Does this deposit reduce significantly the amount of silver that can be extracted from the fixer ? Is another type of container (glass ?) should be used ?
- after the first use of silver magnet, I got a thin yellow-grey layer of Ag onto cathode. Then, I unplug the silver magnet, rince it with clear water, and let it dry until next use. The following time, I constated that the layer changed color, becoming grey-black. I presume it's oxydation of silver, the same thing occuring when letting silverware forks to the air. Does this oxydation affects the Silver Magnet function ?
Many thanks for your help :)
Best regards,
hi raphael
i can answer the 2nd question ...
i do not think there is a problem at all.
the magnet just allows electricity to flow through
the spent fixer to plate the silver onto the cathode.
as long as there is enough silver in the fixer there won't be a problem
otherwise it will smoke and smell like sulphur and burn out the magnet.
when you send it to be refined, they take into account
that there is a little oxidation i would imagine that is why
they suggest the silver on the cathode isn't 100% pure silver ..
i don't really have an answer to your first question but a guess and a suggestion ..
maybe you can experiment and see if it makes a difference
if/when you use a glass container.
i save my spent fixer in black 1L jobo containers
and a 3 quart tupperware plastic container before i
run it through the magnet i have never seen the sludge you have mentioned.
maybe i don't save mine as long so it doesn't have the same time to precipitate ?
i look forward to reading what others have to say !
Hi John,
Many thanks for your quick answer !
I am glad that this oxydation doesn't affect the Silver Magnet good function. However, I noticed the used fixer I stored have already a strong sulphur smell, when opening the storing container, and that odor persists during all the time I let the Magnet on, I hope I didn't burn the cathod !
About the deposit in the storing bottle, maybe you are right about the time, because the fixer stayed here several months.
BTW, I hope all is OK for you, I read in another thread you are in NYC.
Best regards,
hi raphael i am happy i could help
things are OK here, i am about 3 hours from NYC
in RI we got lots of wind and some rain, but nothing like NYC ...
if i can help anymore let me know
i will ask the maker too ...

On April 9 it accounted for about 3 MU
CHENNAI: Wind power generation has, suddenly, picked up in the last three-four days, providing some respite to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) that has been purchasing power on a temporary basis at high cost.
On the corresponding days in the previous year, the quantum of wind power produced did not exceed one million units.
More or less, this was the position in the first week of this month too.
On April 9, the wind power generation accounted for about 3 MU and the next day, 4.8 MU.
For meeting the present demand, the Board is purchasing power from different sources such as the power exchange and a number of utilities of other States including Chattisgarh, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. In some cases, the cost of power is as high as Rs.13 per unit, a senior TNEB official says.

So, after reading the Canadian accident report, it seems that the Concordia was quite vulnerable to knockdown, even with its reduced sailplan. It really is scary to learn that a "mere" 30-ish knots of wind would have been enough to endanger the ship, and that what hit it may not have even been a full-scale microburst. Had I been crew on the ship, unless I'd been told otherwise, I would never have thought it would be in danger from garden-variety squalls. It seems that a lot of 35-footers might have better stability.
Additionally, the owners had been negligent about updating contact info for the ship, contributing to delays in the search effort. And the ship was traveling near squalls with lots of vulnerable doors open. And they had the bad luck to have most of their comm gear on the side that went down.

SBA Announces New Lender Oversight Regulations.
The interim final rule codifies a new framework for SBA's lender oversight program to ensure that directions are clear and transparent to lenders and the public. It clarifies supervision and enforcement actions for all SBA lenders and partners including banks, Small Business Lending Companies, Certified Development Companies, Microloan Intermediaries, and the SBA's National Technical Assistance Providers network.
"As the economy continues to face challenges, government accountability and transparency is essential," said SBA Acting Administrator Sandy K. Baruah. "With the new lender oversight regulation, SBA is making a commitment to balancing the need for supervision with the flexibility to achieve our mission of providing capital to small businesses."
SBA first published the proposed lender oversight regulations in October 2007. In response, the agency received nearly 300 public comments and met with lenders to address key issues. SBA took these comments seriously and revised the regulation. By implementing the changes as an interim final rule, SBA is responding to the market's need for increased oversight, yet still leaving the door open for additional public comment.
"Given the difficult economy, SBA must do whatever it can to protect small businesses and the nation's taxpayers from unnecessary risk," said Baruah. "With improved oversight, SBA is taking action to reduce the potential for waste, fraud, and abuse in its loan programs."
For more information on the interim final rule or to share your comments, visit www.regulations.gov. To learn more about SBA's guaranteed loan programs, visit www.sba.gov.

Election 2012: What the MetroMonitor Says
March 28, 2012
The G.O.P.
Signs the Santorum Campaign Is Over
March 27, 2012
I'm not sure this is sign number one, but it definitely makes my top ten list. Over at National Review, Charlotte Hays sides with New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny in his now-notorious exchange with the former Pennsylvania senator: On the video of Rick Santorum's lashing out at Times reporter Jeff Zeleny, Zeleny appears to be trying to do something we wish more reporters would do: ask the follow-up question. He wants to make sure he heard right: Did Santorum really say that Mitt Romney is the "worst Republican in the country" to go up against Obama?
I Did the Delegate Math—And It's Over
March 21, 2012
There are three ways to look at the GOP nominating contest now that Mitt Romney has won Illinois. The first is summarized by Alex Massie in a headline earlier today: "Illinois Votes; Mitt Romney Wins; Race Still Over." A second is to insist that, while Romney is on track to win the nomination, it's unwise to assume anything until he has mathematically won a majority of delegates.
Is The South Too Republican For Republicans?
March 12, 2012
The year before his 2010 retirement from the Senate, Ohio Republican George Voinovich offered one of the more candid and colorful recent assessments of what had happened to his party. Asked by The Columbus Dispatch what his party's biggest problem was, he answered: "We got too many Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns. It's the southerners. They get on TV and go 'errrr, errrrr.' People hear them and say, 'These people, they're southerners. The party's being taken over by southerners.
Idaho's Mormons, Vermont's 17-Year-Olds, North Dakota's Dirty Tricks: A Super Tuesday Primer
February 29, 2012
Ohio Delegates at stake: 66 The Buckeye State is considered by many to be Super Tuesday's most important prize. Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Polling Institute, said that Ohio matters so much "because it is so representative of the rest of the country." A Feb. 27 Quinnipiac poll had Santorum up over Romney 36-29 in the state, but the former Pennsylvania senator failed to qualify for the ballot in three of Ohio's 16 Congressional districts, which will automatically deny him the nine delegates to be won from those districts.
TNR Contest: Grade One of Rick Santorum's College Papers
February 28, 2012
[Guest post by Molly Redden] In the course of my reporting on Rick Santorum's college years, a political science professor of his, Bob O'Connor, gave me a copy of a 17-page term paper he co-wrote for an independent study his senior year, "Political Action Committees in Pennsylvania: A Survey of Their Structure and Effects." The essay summarizes the operations and influence of business, union, and ideological PACs in the Keystone State's politics. Obviously, this calls for a reader contest: Grade Rick Santorum's paper!
A College Paper by Rick Santorum—And What It Says About His Political Evolution
February 28, 2012
This past weekend, Rick Santorum briefly elevated his college years to a focal point of his campaign. "I went through it at Penn State," he said Sunday. "You talk to most kids who go to college who are conservatives, and you are singled out, you are ridiculed." He added that he "went through a process where I was docked for my conservative views." As it turned out, I had spent much of the past week talking to people from Santorum's past, including several of his college friends and professors.
Santorum: Who Needs Public Education?
February 20, 2012
At a weekend appearance in Ohio, Rick Santorum said this about public education, according to the New York Times: [T]he idea that the federal government should be running schools, frankly much less that the state government should be running schools [italics mine], is anachronistic. It goes back to the time of industrialization of America when people came off the farms where they did home-school or have the little neighborhood school, and into these big factories, so we built equal factories called public schools.
Romney Is Attacking Santorum for Being Pro-Union. How Absurd.
February 17, 2012
In the run-up to the Michigan primary, Mitt Romney has been on an anti-union tear. Partly this has consisted of broad (and curiously anachronistic) castigations of "stooges" and "bosses." But Romney has also trained his anti-labor ire on Rick Santorum, the current frontrunner in the state primary. On Wednesday, his campaign released a fact-sheet titled "Big Labor's Favorite Senator" seeking to blunt Santorum's self-proclaimed appeal to working class voters. But if Santorum is Big Labor's favorite anything, Big Labor has a strange way of showing it.
Why Obama Would Be Glad If the Culture War Is a Major Election Issue
February 11, 2012
The furor over the Obama administration's contraception coverage decision has generated a spate of articles proclaiming the return of the social issues in the 2012 campaign. But while they're being discussed more, I doubt that they'll prove decisive. Unless something drastic happens between now and November, trends in employment and real income will determine the result. Now comes the traditional "to be sure" paragraph. To be sure, it's possible to sketch a scenario in which the social issues matter a lot.

Oh, Maru, You're So Cute When You're Fierce!
Darling Maru the cat is known for his penchant for boxes, and sitting in them. His affinity for cardboard has earned him a special place in the heart of the Internet and his home of Japan. Maru even got to be the star of a Uniqlo campaign, to celebrate the opening of its store in downtown San Francisco.
But there's a darker side to Maru. OK, not a "darker" side, but certainly a side that's more of a hunter than his friendly, loafing face might suggest. When the big kitty spies a toy he wants, he musters all his energy to get it, and shows surprising speed, agility, and focus in doing so.
For us, it's just a feather. For Maru, it's a life or death situation -- there's nothing else in a cat's world quite like a dangly feather to evoke his feline instincts. It's like they are magically transformed into their wild ancestors at the mere suggestion of a bird.
Maru tears around the living room, leaping from couch to carpet in hot pursuit of his feather toy. Which he finally catches it, he meows triumphantly, letting everyone know that he is still the king of his castle (and forever the king of cute).

"...the same old Jackass antics -- and we wouldn't have it any other way. Bill Gibron, Filmcritic
"If you can't do something smart, do something right. And Knoxville simply does it right. Felix Vasquez Jr, Cinema Crazed
Editor's NoteThe JACKASS pranksters are at it again in this third outing, presented for the first time, in some theaters, in 3D -- an effect that redefines the use of the in-your-face technology. Once again, Johnny Knoxville and his cohorts gather together and dream up new childish ways to make each other -- and their audience -- giggle uncontrollably. Whether it's pummeling one another in their groins or throwing together half-cooked skits that employ everything from costumes, sets, wild animals, and most often, feces, the boys are a wealth of "you shouldn't do this -- we're not even sure if we should" comedy. Jeff Tremaine returns to direct the MTV Films/Paramount Pictures production.

Business Highlights
Nokia dumps CEO, turns to Microsoft exec
HELSINKI (AP) - Nokia Corp. is replacing CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo with Microsoft executive Stephen Elop as the world's top maker of mobile phones aims to regain lost ground in the fiercely competitive smart phone market.
The choice of a North American executive to lead a Finnish company reflects the increasing dominance of U.S. and Canadian companies in the evolution of the phone business.
Apple Inc.'s iPhone has set the standard for today's smart phones, while Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerrys are the favorite of the corporate set. More recently, Google Inc.'s Android software has emerged as the choice for phone makers that want to challenge the iPhone.
Analysts welcomed the choice of the 46-year-old Canadian, who has worked closely with Nokia at Microsoft and at Macromedia Inc. developing software for Nokia phones. He has also held top posts at Juniper Networks Inc. and Adobe Systems Inc. At Microsoft, he headed the Business division, which makes Office software.
Stocks continue September rally; Dow gains again
NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks edged higher Friday, extending a rally that began nearly two weeks ago, as investors hold on to their newfound optimism about the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 47 points in very light trading. It was the seventh day of gains out of the past eight for the index. Treasury prices eased as traders became more willing to take on risk.
Stocks have shaken off the doldrums of August and marched steadily higher in September thanks to a series of encouraging signals on the economy. The latest came Friday morning with a report that wholesale inventories shot up in July, a sign of confidence that retail sales will pick up.
Obama: Voter anger could hurt Dems in elections
WASHINGTON (AP) - Facing big Democratic losses in November, President Barack Obama blamed Republicans and election-year politics Friday for thwarting his efforts to do more to spur a listless national economy. He challenged Congress to quit squabbling and quickly approve "what we all agree on" - a reprieve for expiring tax cuts for the middle class.
Obama said his economic programs were helping, but "the hole the recession left was huge and progress has been painfully slow."
Noting the stubbornly high jobless rate, Obama acknowledged that many voters in the Nov. 2 midterm elections probably will blame him for economic hard times and could take it out on congressional Democrats.
SEC expands stocks under 'circuit breakers'
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal regulators on Friday expanded the number of stocks covered by new "circuit breakers" that can pause volatile trading, a program in response to the panicked May 6 market plunge.
The Securities and Exchange Commission approved expansion of the six-month pilot program of circuit breakers for stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Now all stocks in the Russell 1000 index also will be covered.
The program, which began in mid-June, briefly halts trading of stocks that make big price swings. Trading of covered stocks that rise or fall 10 percent or more within a five-minute span is halted for five additional minutes.

Middle Ages brought to life with a sword and shield
Group's love for history at center stage on battlefield
Or, as Parker Pritchett put it, "Awesome!"
The 8-year-old watched Sunday as two knights in armor bowed, then lifted their swords in a mock — yet physical — battle.
Blows were exchanged as swords clanged against shields, and, in a flurry of swordplay, Sir Ragnarr vanquished his foe.
"Hoobah!" shouted the competition's marshal.
The Society for Creative Anachronism's annual "Pageantry in the Park" medieval fair drew wandering crowds throughout the afternoon as knights, men-at-arms and ladies fair dressed for battle clashed for honor. For history. And for fun.
The event at Wesselman Park "lets people see history in three dimensions," said Kevin Reid, whose alter ego, Sir Ragnarr, had quite a day with the victories (and a few defeats), attention from spectators and the hot, heavy costume of armor and mail.
"It's a day of armored combat, some rapier (fencing) demonstrations and other demonstrations and exhibits," he said.
Event offers step back in timefor history lovers
It's also a chance for history lovers from various walks of 21st century life — librarians, engineers, financial planners, students — to step back into the society's targeted time period of between A.D. 500 to A.D. 1600. As Parker watched the action with his 6-year-old brother, Paxson, the two proved to be well versed for their ages.
"I like things about the castle times with kings and knights," Parker said.
"Mommy! It's a joust!" Paxson said excitedly. "I like the one with the shield and the sword" he added as he chose a favorite knight.
"I think it would be good to be a pawn. The costumes would be cooler," Parker said, wiping his forehead. "That armor would be hot!"
"They're so interested in this time period," said their father, Judd Pritchett, who held 2-year-old Presley.
"They got into it with Lego Castles, and (Parker) plays chess," said their mother, Kim Pritchett. "When they get focused on something, they really like to read and learn about it."
"I love watching kids as they're seeing the knights," said Henry Hina, whose alter ego Sir Accolon Shadowhawk is the "seneschal," or president of the local affiliate.
Battlefield ready for thoseseeking a challenge
As the crowds settled in for action, Sir Accolon posed a question. "Who will challenge Sir Ragnarr for supremacy on this field? ... Are we ready to begin?"
"Yes!" yelled Paxson. "We're ready!"
"We're a very 'catch-all' group," Hina said. "We encompass so many years and so many interests."
Donna Reid, aka Lady Kirsten, said her heritage is Norwegian, so she focuses on Norse history.
"I love the Hundred Years' War era, which far outlasted my lifetime," Hina said — immediately becoming Sir Accolon.
For Mark Killman, whose society persona is Lord Mark MacKill, the weapon of choice is "a replica of a 16th century Italian rapier."
"Their swords were intended to kill people — ours are manufactured for 'recreational combat' and are more flexible so they won't hurt our opponents."
The society, which has a couple of dozen members locally, a chapter in Vincennes, Ind., and a combined chapter for Henderson and Owensboro in Kentucky, boasts about 30,000 members internationally. All it takes to join is an interest in history "and a love of the pageantry of the Middle Ages," Lady Kirsten said.
A visit to www.midrealm.org/rivierec offers more information about the local society and its next event, Rendezvous at the Bridge XIX, Oct. 3-5 at Lincoln State Park.

Embedding phenomena based upon decomposition theory: locally spherical but wild codimension one spheres
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: For we describe an -sphere wildly embedded in the -sphere yet every point of has arbitrarily small neighborhoods bounded by flat -spheres, each intersecting in an -sphere. Not only do these examples for large run counter to what can occur when , they also illustrate the sharpness of high-dimensional taming theorems developed by Cannon and Harrold and Seebeck. Furthermore, despite their wildness, they have mapping cylinder neighborhoods, which both run counter to what is possible when and also partially illustrate the sharpness of another high-dimensional taming theorem due to Bryant and Lacher.

We didn't have a reservation and stopped in for 1 night. We arrived at 13:00 and as checkout isn't until 14:00 didn't have many choices of site. Only site for a 41' 5th wheel with at least 30 amps was a deluxe pull-through. Bit pricey for only 1 night. It's a typical KOA with lots of amenities for kids. Roads are a mixture of paved and gravel and in some locations are challenging for 60' + rigs. Our site access was down a narrow gravel road and had a tree on either side at the front of the site. With less than 2' clearance to the trees at the front we had to position the coach with the front slides behind the trees. The site was level, services well located and it came with a patio, lawn furniture and BBQ. No satellite reception. Unfortunately we spent the night that Detroit had 6" of rain, so couldn't use the patio. Getting out of the site was tight as I had to completely clear the trees before turning - only had 3' of clearance. The turn at the building towards the exit was also a challenge because of the cars parked across the street. With the sun in the mirrors had to ask the wife to get out and watch the building on the inside. The dog run was a joke - yes it was fenced. but it might have been 10' x 10'. Our departure collected a number of spectators wondering how I was going to get the rig out of the trees. Would we return? Probably not. - Oriana

This park is designed for everyone. Cabins, pull-throughs, back-ins etc. Our site was level and had hookups placed in the proper places. Park was clean and had help everywhere doing work. Our RV is 40' long. - illini777
Jul 2012 - $56.00
We used this park as a one night stopover on our way home from a short trip. Easy access from the interstate, check in went smoothly, getting to our pull-through site was a breeze. We had stayed here several years ago, but that was in the fall and the place was almost empty. What a difference to the summer. I have never seen an RV park that was so packed. People (mostly children) were everywhere. Seemingly lots to see and do for everybody and everyone was enjoying themselves. We don't travel with children anymore but we do enjoy watching children having a good time. If you don't mind crowds this is the place for families. I was impressed by how the place was managed, staff were very friendly and helpful, and they all seemed to know what they were doing. We would stay here again if passing through the area. - BillandEila

Kukla's Korner Hockey
A Disgusting Sound
by Paul on 09/21/08 at 09:21 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
When Carolina Hurricanes winger Justin Williams tore his right Achilles tendon while running this week, it was sickening stuff for everybody who was watching the accident prior to the players getting on the ice for training camp.
"Joe Corvo told me it was the most disgusting thing he had ever heard. He said it echoed because they were in this huge warehouse," (Erik) Cole continued. "Willy just dropped and said, 'What the (bleep) is that?' All the medical staff knew what had happened. Everybody was like (drawing in their breath)." Williams has had surgery and is out four to six months. He's in a full leg cast.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/20/14
The Texas Rangers officially announced the acquisition of right-hander Joakim Soria on Tuesday, with the free agent reliever receiving a two-year deal with a club option for a third season. The team didn't disclose financial terms, but multiple media reports indicated that Soria will make a guaranteed $8 million. Soria missed the entire 2012 season with the Kansas City Royals after undergoing the second "Tommy John" elbow surgery of his career. A former closer, Soria figures to serve as a setup man in front of Rangers closer Joe Nathan. However, Soria might not be ready to pitch at the start of the 2013 season, when he'd be just 12 months removed from his latest operation. Soria, 28, earned two trips to the All-Star Game during his five seasons with the Royals, twice saving more than 40 games in a season. He has 160 career saves, a 2.40 ERA and a 13-15 record over 298 major league appearances. He provides cover to a Texas bullpen that next season could be missing multiple ke...

Web Cams are very low resolution, so you will only be able to print a small size photo if you want to print it probably a 1.3 mega pixel camera

Astute casting is everything
TV-film producers' casting choices are often the height and depth of predictability, with studios pairing contract stars with one another in an automatic, serial manner, hoping that one such combination will click with the viewing public.
When that happens, several movies starring the love team are made until its popularity wanes due to over-exposure.
The studio then tries out a fresh tandem. If that doesn't get the fans excited, a studio may "import" a big star from another talent pool or "stable," hoping that the unusual, unexpected pairing delights viewers.
Once in a rare while, more innovative casting choices are made that get viewers really worked up and raring to watch a production on the big or small screen. This season, the inspired casting coup is the decision to tap Vilma Santos to play a movie bit player in her first indie starrer, "Ekstra."
Vilma generally plays more accomplished women on the big screen, so her "lowly" character in the new film project immediately attracts attention and interest as a fine example of unconventional casting.
In addition, the ploy is inspired because it gives "ordinary" viewers a lot to empathize with, since Vilma is in a way "representing" them.
In the past, that was more the turf of Nora Aunor, Vilma's arch "rival." With "masa" movies like "Atsay" and "Bona," Nora vivified the "ordinary" and "faceless" Filipino better and more credibly than anybody else.
Can Vilma rise up—or go down—to that masa-empathetic level by way of her latest role?
Well, Vilma is no pushover when it comes to effective, believable characterization, as her unexpectedly apt portrayal of an activist nun in "Sister Stella L" proved years ago.
Of course, there's the additional factor and possible problem of age. Now a mature actress, she may not be all that credible as a "faceless" screen talent who has remained an extra for many years, without moving up to bigger parts.
But perhaps the film's script has an explanation for this, so Vilma's first indie outing is definitely still a should-see production in our book—and we urge film buffs to see it when it plays in the coming Cinemalaya indie film fest at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
'Apoy' on TV
Another noteworthy casting choice is on TV, in the teleserye "Apoy sa Dagat," where Piolo Pascual is cast in his most macho role ever as a muscular and sensually potent fisherman and fishmonger.
The unexpected casting plot not only opens up Piolo's latest TV role to numerous physical and sensual possibilities not pursued by his more laid-back and even cerebral roles in the past—and serves to silence the "doubters and haters" who have occasionally questioned the actor's macho projection.
To heat the screen up even more, Piolo's leading lady is the similarly smoldering Angelica Panganiban, so fans are savoring their sensual love scenes—well, up to a point, since they can only go so far on TV!

WEST ELKTON — An application to rezone five acres of land within West Elkton's boundaries was submitted to the village council earlier this year, Richard Bair reported during a Monday, July 14, council meeting.
The application is to change land already registered as "agricultural" to "graveyards, monuments, and cemeteries" according to Bair.
"The [Gratis] Township had passed that resolution several years ago that nobody could build within 300 feet of the boundary in the cemetery," said Bair. The village has finalized a deal with Jerry Gerber, the owner of the property, to purchase 5.73 acres. The land now belongs to Gratis Township.
The township has entered into a contract to pay Gerber for the land over a five year period. The land will cost the township $5,000 per acre.
"The trustees will probably only develop a certain amount at a time," said Bair. "Maybe an acre or two at a time … it's quite expensive to develop that land."
"That land was set apart for the cemetery when the village annexed it," said Councilman Charlie Pennington.
"I think we can look it over," said Mayor Bill Crawford. "It's up to council whether you want to move on it tonight or…"
"There's no big rush," said Bair, regarding making an immediate decision. "No one's dying to get in there."
Council approved a motion to change the zoning of the land to graveyards, monuments, and cemeteries; it was the first of three readings.
The village erected a working emergency siren the morning of Wednesday, July 2, testing it's ability in time for the countywide test at noon.

Singer delivers insight on advances in military and civilian technology and their implications on shaping conflict
Friday, January 18, 2013
At Lesley University's Boston Speakers Series lecture on January 16, preeminent warfare and foreign policy expert Peter Warren Singer delivered a thought-provoking, if sometimes chilling, overview of advances in military and civilian technology, and the implications these advances have on near and long-term projections for how technology will shape our conflicts.
"Technology is becoming easier to operate," Singer explained. "You don't need to learn a new language or be a trained operator anymore. In many cases all you need is a new app on your iPhone, and you can do things as complicated as piloting a drone."
This new era of technology-driven warfare is the topic of Singer's latest book, Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and 21st Century Conflict, which examines the implications of robotics and other new technologies for war, politics, ethics, and law in the 21st century. These were topics that he discussed during his presentation at Boston's Symphony Hall before a full house that was captivated both by his remarks and by the engaging slide and video presentation he used to illustrate his points.
Singer's approach is equally focused on the future of warfare and the history of conflicts and technology, and he uses this approach to examine not only the technology we use to fight, but also the societal and ethical implications of those uses. For example, Singer points out that while the use of drones in areas of conflict is in its relative infancy, in the very near future – 2015 – drones will be legal for domestic use, opening a Pandora's box for drone use in not only local and state law enforcement, but for civilian use by anyone who can purchase and operate the technology.
In addition to unforeseen increasing domestic use, drones have also had a significant impact on how the U.S. population considers its relationship with the conflicts their country is engaged in, and has allowed the government nearly unfettered permission to use force, something which formerly was highly regulated and which the general voting population had a much closer relationship with in the past.
"The U.S. military had only a handful of unarmed drones and no armed robotics on the ground when we went into Afghanistan," Singer noted. "Today we have 8,000 in the air and 12,000 on the ground, many of them armed. Last year U.S. Air force trained more unmanned systems operators than it trained manned bomber pilots and manned fighter pilots combined."
And as Singer points out, the use of new technologies in warfare is increasing exponentially alongside technological advances in the civilian sector. If advances in technology continue at their current and projected rate, we'll see technology in 25 years that is many millions of times more powerful than what we are working with today, a prospect that raises numerous important questions about conflict, warfare and violence as our relationship with it and with the technology that is used in its name advances.
Dr. Singer is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Acclaimed as one of the world's leading experts on changes in 21st century warfare, he has authored three books, advised the President, the Defense Department, the FBI, and the Congress, as well as the movie, television and video game industries. He has provided commentary on military issues for nearly every major TV and radio outlet, and he serves as a columnist for the Armed Forces Journal.
On February 20, Lesley's next Boston Speakers Series event welcomes Erskine Bowles, Co-Chairman of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Along with Sen. Alan Simpson, he was named by President Obama to co-chair the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, commonly referred to as Bowles-Simpson. His former posts have included president of the University of North Carolina system, White House Chief of Staff to President Clinton, and administrator of the Small Business Administration.
