|Wonderful Day!
Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2007
|Left the parking lot with 7 other folks at 4:45a.m. Beautiful sunrise! We went up the gully a little more to the left at the bottom, and that was fun. The top section was wonderful Class 3. It would be really challenging in the snow!

|Very nice to finally summit Whitney. Under 11 hours car to car, with an hour on the summit. Perfect weather/temp all day. I think the final gully is easy 4th class. There are points were if you fell you wouldn't stop, to me that's 4th class.

Date Climbed: May 20, 2007
|Great climb with near-perfect conditions. Left Iceberg Lake at 7 AM, climbed semi-hard snow for 2/3 of the couloir (crampons unnecessary), scree for the next 1/3, then directly up the 1st gully from the Notch. Center of the gully was nasty snow/ice; we stayed on class-3 rock by starting left, then traversing right to the ridge and exiting to the summit plateau via a body-width crack. Descending at 12 PM, the couloir was slushy -- ascending that late would be miserable!

|2nd Whitney Summit
Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2001
|A group of us hiked up to Iceberg Lake and camped there on a full moon night, I wanted to keep going it was so beautiful! We reached the summit the next day, using the traverse for the upper portion. Returned back to Whitney Portal in the afternoon.

|My second Summit
Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2004
|We did a dayhike exiting the main trail. I had a very slow group, but that worked in the favor of a lost hiker. Well after dark we found a hiker near lone pine lake. He was disoriented and clumbsy; most likely sufffering from HACE. We lead him out. We finished at 11:00 pm making it about a 18 hour day.

Date Climbed: Oct 21, 2006
|After two partners bailed the weekend before I found an overnight permit and decided to go it alone the next weekend. Left the portal at 1pm and got to Iceberg lake at 6pm. There were four others here ahead of me. Late start but still breaking trail through some snow. Able to stay on the rocks most of the way up to the notch. Past the notch the traverse is iced over. Up the first gully the snow turns to ice about half way up. I stayed on the rocks to the summit. Had the summit to myself for 30 mins when another solo came up from the MR. Passed the four campers from Iceberg in the gully on their way up. Made it back to the Portal by 5pm with snow all the way down the south side to below the E ledges. MR pics

Oh well, we got up, we got down safely, we got great pictures and we followed in the footsteps of John Muir. I know that it's just a descent route for most people, but for me it's a climb I've wanted to do since I was 10, so, hey....

Absolut Kurant
The story behind the name Absolut Kurant is black currant, a typical Swedish berry from which the flavor is taken. When launched in 1992 it was a tribute to the Swedish origin of Absolut Vodka. Originally it was even supposed to be called Absolut Vinbär since the Swedish word for black currant is vinbär. Only thing was that the English pronunciation would have been wine bar.
Enjoy Absolut Kurant in cocktails
Absolut Kurant is easily enjoyed in its clean and fruity natural form, but it's also the perfect base in numerous drinks. Improvise to find your own perfect blend or make one of many Absolut Kurant classics. Here are a few inspirational recipes to get you started.

EAST MILLINOCKET, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- People in the Katahdin region had a reason to celebrate on Thursday. It has been a full year since dozens of jobs were restored at the East Millinocket paper mill.
'Cate Street Capital,' which is based in New Hampshire, bought the mill in 2011 after it had been closed for several months. Since then it has gone on to hire hundreds of workers. 'Great Northern Paper' in East Millinocket now employs more than 250 people, which is slightly more than half of what the paper mill employed at the beginning of 2011.
Officials with Cate Street say that they are hoping to add to their workforce in the future. There are plans to convert the East Millinocket paper mill to natural gas by March of next year.
'Cate Street' is also continuing plans to start up another business at the site of the old Millinocket paper mill. The 'Thermogen' project entails using part of the closed mill to make energy rich pellets called 'torrefied wood.'
Company officials expect Thermogen to employ up to 36 workers, once it's running by the fall of 2013.
"We have big plans for over there and I think I would like to say to the people of Millinocket, just wait and see..its coming," said Richard Cyr, who is president of 'Great Northern Paper' and a manager with 'Cate Street Capital.'
A spokesman for the company says at this point it has obtained all of the necessary state permits for its torrefied wood operation. The company plans to start construction in a matter of months.

I really like the way the vehicle rules turned out. I especially like the mechanic for changing altitude—it really captures the feel of trading airspeed for altitude. But, I still have some comments:
Vehicles Table:
On the vehicles table, we need a note for minimum flying speed (i.e. stall speed) for fixed-wing aircraft.
External Stores on Aircraft:
I like the way that the increased drag from external stores is represented by a weight multiplier for calculating encumbrance. However, 5x is probably a little steep. These weapons are designed to be very aerodynamic, especially missiles. In fact, wingtip-mounted missiles actually decrease induced drag by mitigating vortex production at the wingtips. I would change the modifier to x1 for missiles and x2 for all other external stores.
Missiles in the Weapons Table:
These need some serious work. The missiles listed have pretty good ranges for, say, anti-tank missiles, but even the super-heavy missile has woefully short range for any kind of anti-aircraft missile, anti-ship missile, or many other types of missiles. The weights also seem kind of whack, but I'll have to look up some numbers to be sure (I think the progression of weight increases from one size to the next is too flat). At each size category, there should be a number of different missiles available, each trading range and damage off against each other (if you take up more space for propellant, you have less space for explosives, and vice-versa). I'll post a suggested table of missiles later.
Rockets vs. Missiles:
I would change the way missile guidance systems work. I would give every guided weapon an intelligence score, and any attack with a guided weapon uses the weapon's intelligence instead of any of the operator's abilities. The operator's skill bonus would still apply, only the ability score would come from the weapon's guidance system.
The major advantage of a guidance system would come into play when the missile will take more than one round to reach the target (i.e. when the range to the target is greater than the missile's speed). For unguided missiles (aka rockets), the operator must target a particular square, and the attack roll is only made if the target is actually in that square when the rocket reaches it. If the rocket has a proximity fuse, it can make an area attack centered on the target square if the target is in an adjacent square. For guided missiles, some sort of skill check is made each round to see if the missile is able to continue tracking the target (this gives the target a chance to "break lock" by maneuvering and employing countermeasures), and the attack roll is made if and when the missile gets to the same square as the target. This same system could be used for guided vs. unguided torpedoes.
Determining Range in Three Dimensions:
I suggest the following modification to represent the effects of altitude and gravity on weapon range:
If the target is lower than you, the range is equal to the horizontal or vertical distance, whichever is greater.
If the target is higher than you, the range is equal to the horizontal distance plus the vertical distance.
Hard Turn Maneuver:
I think the DC should scale according to the number of squares you've moved relative to the number normally required to make a turn. Maybe DC = 10+[number of squares moved]-[number of squares required to be moved].
EDIT: I badly misread the rules for loss of control in regards to aircraft, and so my feedback was not good. I've modified it accordingly.
Out of Control Flight:
The rules for airplanes actually seem to model loss of control reasonably well, but an out of control helicopter needs a slightly different set of responses because of the complex relationship between yaw and collective (crudely speaking, collective controls the up and down motion of the helicopter; it is analogous to throttle). In reality, what happens can vary widely depending on the design of the helicopter, but here's a simple system which captures the spirit of what happens:
- On a d6 roll of 1 or 2: the helicopter turns left 45 degrees, reduces its declared speed by one category, and decreases altitude by a number of squares equal to half the minimum for its declared speed (if declared speed is zero, descends half its base speed).
- On a d6 roll of 3 or 4: the helicopter does not turn, maintains its current speed category, and decreases altitude by a number of squares equal to half the minimum for its declared speed (if declared speed is zero, descends half its base speed).
- On a d6 roll of 5 or 6: the helicopter turns right 45 degrees, maintains its current speed category, and maintains altitude.
On the topic of out of control flight, I would add two additional traits that some high performance jets could have:
1: "thrust in excess of weight." It's kind of a mouthful, but that's the actual technical term that's used to describe it, and I've never heard any kind of nickname or shorter version. Basically, some jets have engines so powerful that they can point straight up and continue to accelerate because, as the name implies, the upward force produced by the engines exceeds the downward force produced by gravity. Such a plane is still subject to losing control due to stall: although airflow over the wings is not needed for lift in this situation, airflow over the control surfaces is still needed to keep the plane pointed in the desired direction.
Game rules: When an aircraft with this trait determines its current speed at the end of a turn, if, during that turn, it climbed, did not descend, moved less than its base speed in squares, and spent at least its base speed in movement, its current speed is considered equal to its base speed.
Basically, it can't stall as long as it stays pointed up with the throttle firewalled.
2: "vectored thrust." An aircraft with vectored thrust is able to remain in control even after the wings and control surfaces have stalled.
Game rules: An aircraft with this trait is able to move at speeds as low as one-half its base speed without losing control. When doing so, it cannot climb, but instead descends one square in altitude for every square it moved less than its base speed. If the aircraft also has the thrust in excess of weight trait, it can climb when moving below its base speed and does not automatically lose altitude.
I really like the set of scales, but I would change the names a little, to reflect terminology more commonly used in wargames (and war, for that matter):
- Character: 5 ft/square
- Tactical: 50 ft/square
- Operational: 500 ft/square
- Aerospace: Varies
I like the idea of giving vehicle intelligence to represent computers and sensors, but I think this needs to be broken down a little bit more to represent different types of sensors. An attack jet might have an air-to-ground radar that is great for navigation and for targeting tanks, but which can't process returns from other aircraft. A helicopter might have a dipping sonar that can find submarines, but which is absolutely useless for anything outside of the water.
EDIT: changed the names of most of the perception types.
I propose that we implement a list of perception types, similar to the list of damage types:
- Optical: Light in the visible spectrum, plus non-visible light which behaves similarly (i.e. Ultra Violet).
- Acoustic: Vibrations propagating through a physical medium (e.g. hearing)
- Chemical: Trace amounts of characteristic chemicals suspended in a fluid medium or on the surface of a solid (e.g. smell and taste).
- Thermal: Infrared Radiation
- Radio Frequency (RF): Electrons propagating as waves (e.g. radar)
- Electromagnetic: Fluctuations in ambient electrical or magnetic fields (e.g. Magnetic Anomaly Detection)
Every character (vehicle or otherwise) with sensors would have a list of the types of sensors they have. For example, a d20 OGL Dwarf would have:
- Optical (passive with distance): two eyes
- Thermal (passive with distance): darkvision
- Acoustic (passive): ears
- Chemical: taste and smell
If a particular creature or vehicle has an especially good sensor of one type and an especially bad sensor of another type (e.g. a ship with a great radar but a mediocre sonar), this could be represented by bonuses or penalties to perception checks of that type.
As a corrolary, particular characters could have different DC modifiers against different types of perception, or even be completely invisible to some types of perception (for example, animals are invisible to all but the most high-frequency radars).

hi Nick Park,
i was just wondering, i am a really big fan of ANGRY KID!
will there be any more new episodes of ANGRY KID?
cheers nick!
Hi Mr. Park,
Im a huge fan from México, thank you so much for creating W & G, you don't have idea how they are loved in our family, my son -J.E., 7- watches your movies almost every single day, he can't say which one is his favorite!
Never have enought of Wallace & Gromit
How did you first get into animation?
Did you take a course in model making or did the opportunity just fall into your lap?
Hi Nick,
I want to get into plasticine animation/model making, did you take a course in model making or did it just fall into your lap?
Dear Nick,
Like Gromit, I enjoy knitting. Do you like to knit?
Hi Nick
I'm 19 at college and looking at universities for a good course that will help me get job in Stop Motion Animation. I was wondering did you do course that was only Stop motion based or did you do a mixed animation course that led you in stop motion?
All so what do you think you would have done in life if you never got in to the animation industry would you have got in to TV righting or something?
All the best
Daniel James
P.S would you please look at my Animations and maybe levee me any comments you have http://www.youtube.com/daniel7084
I know you're a very busy man but it would mean the word me
Thanks agene
Daniel James
Dear Nick,
Whats your favorite kind of music?
NICK when did you make your first plasticine model and what was it?
who were your animation idols when you were a kid?
what do you think you think Gromit would do if Wallace had died? how would he cope? waht would his day be like?
Hi Nick, I've always wondered what age Wallace and Gromit are, do you know yourself or do you think it's best not to say???
from Mark
Dear Nick will you marry me? (whoops I am already married scratch that... ) I am a big fan of all your work and have indoctrinated my whole family to W&G (love it when new episode is first aired at Christmas on TV- brings back the excitement and magic not experienced since childhood).My question is.....
Have you ever tried to make any of the W&G inventions for real?
W&G has to be one of the best things to come out of Great Britain in the last 20 years, right up there with The Thin Blue Line and The Office. My question is what has been the most interesting thing you have encountered in regards to the success of the show?
Will hutch get a spin off series like shawn?
Why don't You swtich to 3D ? I think it's less time consuming and offers more freedom for expression? Or You already did and audience just can't tell the difference ?
Mr. Park
I start my question with a story. When I was eight I saw the first Wallace and Gromit movie and I was entranced. The first two were bought for me on VHS by my gran, and inspired me to spend the next year or so of my after school hours before tea time trying to make my own animated films.
I used my dads camera, and as it had no frame capture button I had to start and stop the recording as quickly as possible, which was a skill in itself I can tell you. Me and my friend Luke from across the road made our own characters out of plastercine and even a park setting on the coffee table, of course you had to use your imagination. I remember spending ages re-straightening the legs because they became so squished down from making them walk about, it wasn't until I saw you on CBBC making Wallace wave until I heard about using wire inside the models.
I remember seeing a distinct similarity in the first animation you made of someone fishing and some of the short films Luke and I made, including 'Kicking a football (which hit a bird, so the man walked off whistling)', 'Walking the dog (that defecated in the mans fish and chips while he was busy fishing)' and some morph inspired ball disappearing into the ground only to reappear elsewhere. Some of the videos became childishly sadistic as I got older, which lead to my masterpiece, at the age of nine, 'Duck goes on a rampage (including pecking of a dog, flattening of a fence, but ended when the duck was run over by a lego car)'.
In retrospect, I'm impressed with myself with what I'd made, and it goes a long way to explaining the endless flicker animations all around the edge of all my exercise books right up until 6th form.
I'm now 23, a recent graduate, and working as a freelance illustrator. It's been years since I last touched plasticine, but after a friend of mine put the idea of making a music video for one of his songs into my head the first thing I though of doing was to re-kindle some of that naive imagination and make a stop-motion film.
Here's the now boring question; what, would you recommend, are the absolute essentials to creating a miniature studio? I have a digital camera and a dvd handicam and a tripod, various art materials but I was wondering if there were any specifics that you'd recommend for the set/characters.
Thanks for many years of inspiration, I'm unspeakably happy to see that Wallace and Gromit have lasted the test of time and are going stronger than ever.
Sam Brewster
p.s. I addressed this question to you as Mr. Park because I still feel like a child when talking about this.
If you had never been taken under Aardman's wings all those years ago-what do you think you'd be doing now? Would you still be in film or animation?
Would you have finished A grand day out?
Glad you did btw
HI Nick,
My son William (14)is a big fan of AARDMAN, and is very interested in coming to work for you.He does not know i have written this to you by the way.Can you outline what he would need to do to work for you?
thanks you are a great inspiration to my son.
Wayne (DAD of WILLIAM)
Dear Nick,
Bouncing off the question before me about cute animals...Your work is so profoundly cute--which sounds like an oxymoron, but I think W&G inspires feelings of joy around the world because it appeals to a childlike adoration of animals in everyone who sees it.
Do you have a philosophy on the nature of cuteness? Is it something you think about in the abstract or just something you express through animation? (I know that much of animation can involve breaking down what other people take for granted so that you can recreate it...but maybe this is something you can't overthink?)
Thank you for making the most delightful movies!
when will wallace & gromit return i,m missing them
please made a new series of the cracking advencheres it rocks
to keep us happy till the new film is releast
and please make shaun the sheep in to a movie
thanks nick for your brillant work as always
Hi Nick,
I am a dog person and I dream in color, even though I can't see in color. Do you dream of Wallace and Gromit? If so, what do you dream?
Pearl Barker
Hi Nick,
What do you make the sheeps fur of?
Your biggest fan Benjamin
Hi Nick,
My question is about the music for your films. When you work with Julian Nott on the score for a new film, do you give him any direction or suggestions, or do you simply hand him the script and let him have a go at it?
Also, does he use the same group of musicians for the scoring every time?
Hi Nick.
You are Simply the greatest Stop-motion animator around,along with the greats like Ray Harryhausen,Oliver Postgate,Peter Firmin and Ivor Wood. You are a massive inspiation to young animators everywhere,like me,and i think it's safe to say,since you greated Wallace and Gromit,you are a bit of a genius. here's my question to you,and here's hoping it gets anwsers. What Advice would you give an amuteur animator on making a Wallace And Gromit Fan-film?
Thanks In Advance should you anwser,but thanks anyway if you don't.
P.S. would you care to look at some of my animations on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/user/HTprods if not,that's fine. just writing something you may read makes me excited.
Why did you decide to do a much more violent and dark film in "a Matter of Loaf and Death"? I cannot show it to my child as it is too violent and my child is a huge W&G fan!
Dear Nick
I'm very greatful for this oportunity to ask questions about you and your job. My questions are: what were the factors for deciding to use the technique of stop motion? When did you meet Peter Lord and Brian Sibley? This meeting, it helped a lot for you?
Thank you for your fimls! I hope that we can will see it more!
Hi Nick,
Question: as Wallace & Gromit have traversed from the 20th century to the 21st century, will the animation continue to be clay or become computer generated?
regards, paul and wendy.
Hi Nick,
Q:As Wallace & Gromit have traversed from the 20th century to the 21st century,will they continue to be clay animation or become computer generated?
best regards,
Paul & Wendy
Those animals in your animation are unable to speak human language, unlike other amimations say Winnie The Pooh, why you don't add sound track to those animals, or have you ever considered that? Do you think you will ever do that in the future?
Dear Nick,
How did you get your Wallace and Gromet story out to the masses, and become such a revered house hold name in animation?
I have created a uniquley scented children's book,where I hope to donate 10% of all net sales back into community environments...the initial response is promising, but any further advice from yourself would be invaluable
i love you nick
I am a fan currently living in the "heartland" of the USA. Thank you for all your wonderful creations! Your particular brand of craziness in your W&G films has saved my sanity more than once!
Question: Why did you change Gromit's appearance when you did the films after A Grand Day Out? I am not complaining - I just would like to know what your thoughts were as you were changing him. It seems to me he has changed a bit for each film...
Have always imagined what life would be like if Wallace was Prime Minister! What new laws would he pass if elected?
hi nick! i've grown up with wallace and gromit, they are my favorite friends to watch and i love your animation. are there any plans for a new theartical wallace and gromit movie?
You have been my biggest inspiration in life, here is my question: Am I correct in thinking you went to the 'national film and television school'? If yes then how difficult is it to get in, as a student what should I do other then make small animations to ensure I get a possible place.
I understand that you are very busy but if you have any spare time please check my animation on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/user/Lvincent123
Thank You for your time!
Lawrence Vincent
Any chance of reviving "A Grand Night Out" - the & stage play?
Dear Nick,
Given your extensive use of animals in your work I would like to know what your favorite animal is. Thanks!
Hi Nick,
what is it with you and green sweaters???
Hi Nick, thanks for all the joy and the great characters you have brought us. Just curious what else you are working on(Wallace and Gromit or anything else) or any projects you are just thinking about.
will you ever bring feathers mcgraw back in an episode of wallace and gromit?
Hi Nick!
I like a lot of Aardman animations!
My questions are:
-What advice and tips can you give to beginners in animation to enter the film/tv industry?
-What you think about stopmotion animation market, nowadays and in the future? Rising, falling, in stagnancy?
Thank you!!!
Paulo (from Brazil)
Hey Nick
I'm wondering, why do you keep moving through plots between W&G films? Wallace staying as an all-time inventor is a keeper, but wouldn't it be nice to settle on one bussiness and one love at the monment?
Thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule to answer some of our questions.
my question is:
When you were a child was there something that you saw that suddenly made you think, i want to do animations or did been given the home movie camera just trigger your interest in animation?
Quick update- I make that 91 comments and about 97 questions ( but probably more). If we round it up to 100 then that means 1/5 of the questions will be chosen, each question Currently has a 20% chance of being chosen and those who have posted more than one question will obviously have a greater chance. It will be hard for aardman to decide which questions will be chosen.
Hi Nick,
I hope one of my questions finds it's way to you, having been a fan for more than half my life it is a great honor to have the chance to ask you a question.
My question is did you ever think wallace and gromit would be this popular? And what was it like when you won you first oscar and indeed all of the others (and hopefully A matter of loaf and death too)?
Hi Nick,
I am one of your biggest fans, an although all my mates think they are too old for Wallace and Gromit, I still LOVE to watch the episodes and movies to my heart's content. One question I have for you is this: When there was that fire at one of your Aardman factories and you lost some of your plasticine models (the chickens from Chicken Run, the evil penguin from The Wrong Trousers, etc.) did you lose or or ?
Why did you come up with W&G? It is so good.
How to you make it so cool?
How many episodes have their been?
Last question: What is your favorite food?
Hi Nick,
I would like to know how you came up with the idea for Creature Comforts. How did you decide on the animals used for the recorded voice tracks? Would you have preferred to win your first Oscar award for Wallace and Gromit over Creature Comforts?
Thank you all your animation contributions!
How would you start annimation and is it hard?
I could probably answer half these questions for Nick ! Things like ...
Q) How many episodes have their been?
A) There has been four shorts and one feature length movie.
Q) How would you start animation and is it hard?
A) You can start animation with as little as a video camera and play doh to as big as a studio and armatures. Yes it can be hard work but the best bit is when it all comes together and you can see your work on screen !
Hi Nick
I've been a great fan of yours since I was about four years old and you have been a real inspiration to me.
When you were young, were there any particular animators or cartoonists that inspired you to begin animating?
Thanks and I hope my question gets answered,

Oklahoma City radio and television icon Danny Williams has died.
Williams died from complications following a heart attack in October, daughter Shevaun Williams said.
Oklahoma City radio and television icon Danny Williams has died.
Williams died from complications following a heart attack in October, daughter Shevaun Williams said.
He was 85.
"He was fabulous. Loved by everyone," she said.
Williams was known for his on-air phrases and sayings, including "watch out for flying chairs!" which he coined after being struck by one during a broadcast for "Live Wrestling," a professional wrestling program.
"He was just a very popular dude. He had a certain personality that clicked with Oklahomans," said Ronnie Kaye, on-air personality at KOMA-FM 92.5. "He communicated in a special way, right down there with the people. The man just had that genius about him."
Williams, a devout Christian since age 12, was also fond of telling callers to his morning radio show, "God bless you!" and "I love you. Pass it on."
"I've got a heckuva track record. But it's not me, it's just luck. The Lord has blessed me, because I don't even know what I'm doing," he told The Oklahoman in August 2008.
Williams was one of the original 15 members of the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. He retired in 2008 from his morning show on KOMA. Bouts of vertigo convinced him it was time to retire. "There for a while, I'd walk down the hall and fall down. And 81 is long enough," he said in 2008.
His broadcasting career began in 1947 at a radio station in Austin, Texas. He was hired by WKY-4, an Oklahoma City television station, in 1950. That same year, "The Danny Williams Show" debuted. He played Spavinaw Spoofkin on the "Gismo Godkin Show" and was an announcer for "Live Wrestling" in his first years at the station.

Local 6 has learned the University of Central Florida has won its appeal to the National Collegiate Athletic Association and will be bowl eligible for the 2013 season.
"We are pleased with this ruling and applaud the NCAA for handling our appeal with care, competency and professionalism," UCF President John C. Hitt said. "Our football program looks forward to competing for an American Athletic Conference championship and a bowl berth."
The NCAA slapped the football program with several penalties, including a one-year bowl ban for recruiting violations.
In its report about the appeal, the NCAA wrote "the penalty in question was based in significant part on irrelevant factors resulting in an abuse of discretion" by the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
The Knights appealed the bowl ban last July. UCF will play its first game in the American Athletic Conference Oct. 5 at Memphis.

Today's Milwaukee Biz Blogs feature a point/counterpoint debate over the impact of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's proposed federal budget.
Ryan defends his proposed federal budget as representative of his Catholic faith in his Milwaukee Biz Blog.
In a counterpoint blog, Jesuit officials at Georgetown University contend Ryan's budget contradicts Christian principles of compassion for the elderly, the poor and the sick.

BUFFALO, NY - The attorney representing the Chippewa bars and one teenager in a lawsuit against the city on commingling, says a court ruling should be made in the coming days, possibly as early as next week.
Paul Cambria says that the ruling will be coming from a state Supreme Court judge.
Both the city and the clubs, which include Lux and Bayou have made their legal arguments.
Almost two months ago, the bars and clubs filed a lawsuit against the city claiming that Buffalo's commingling law is unconstitutional. Lawyers for the city say it has the right to regulate who can go into Chippewa bars, while the bars and clubs say the law hurts their business financially.
Last April, Buffalo Common Council passed a law banning anyone under 21 from going into bars, taverns and clubs on Chippewa, unless a special event permit was issued by the city.
"It's an overkill, you don't do that, you don't violate an adult's constitutional rights in order to address some issue that can be addressed by just enforcing the law that we already have," said Cambria.
Colin Miller, a 19-year-old college student, who's a plaintiff in the lawsuit claims he's being discriminated against for not being allowed to go to the clubs and bars on the Chip-Strip.
There was an allowance for young people, 18 to 20-years-old to live the Chippewa nightlife on Thursday nights.
But since October, no one of that age has been allowed into Chippewa lounges, bars or clubs any night of the week.
2 On Your Side's Jeff Preval reached out to several Common Council members for comment, as well as the city.
Council member David Rivera says there should be consistency with the law within the city and whatever the rule is it should be applied to all businesses that serve alcohol within Buffalo.
Council member Darius Pridgen, who's district contains the Chippewa strip has said to us in the past that he's looking to adjust the law.

With Halloween right around the corner, we're counting down the days by posting five facts about our favorite fright flicks.
Today's featured film is "Poltergeist" (1982).
1. Many believe there is a curse associated with the film.
Heather O'Rourke, who played Carol Anne Freeling, died of intestinal stenosis just four months before the release of "Poltergeist III." Dominique Dunne, who played the teenage daughter, was strangled by her boyfriend and died in 1982, the same year as the film's release. Her character was away at school in the sequel.
Julian Beck, who played Kane in "Poltergeist II," also passed away between filming the movie and its release. He had been battling cancer for well over a year.
2. The hands which pull the flesh off of the investigator's face were actually Steven Spielberg's.
3. Drew Barrymore was up for the role of Carol Anne, but Spielberg wanted someone more "angelic." However, her audition for the role did land her the starring part in "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial."
4. Both the clown and the tree outside the window that scared Robbie Freeling in the flick came from Steven Spielberg's real-life childhood fears. See what Robbie looks like now in the gallery above!
5. The swirling flashing lights that shot out from the closet during the ending rescue scene were actually created using an aquarium full of water in front of a spotlight. Movie magic!

Steals of the Week: National Wedding Month Bargains!
In case you didn't know, in addition to being Black History Month, February is also National Weddings Month. Probably has something to do with Valentine's Day being in February. So to celebrate the month of Love and Weddings, for this installment of Steals of the Week, we're going to bring you some wedding-related items that can be found in our online classified ads on PennySaverUSA.com.
Do you know anyone who has ever worn their wedding dress again after their wedding day? Chances are probably not, unless of course they got remarried and chose to wear the exact same dress a second time around. For most women, their wedding dress will be tucked away in a closet or end up in a storage unit collecting dust. Wedding dresses can run pretty expensive, so why not just sell it after you've worn it, and use that cash toward building your future with your new beau? Any bride out there who's looking for a deal would love to get a discounted wedding dress that's in great condition and has only been worn once.
This seller has the right idea, she's selling her wedding dress, including the wrap and detached train for $300. If you plan on selling your wedding dress online, check out our tips for 3 easy steps on How to Sell Your Wedding Dress Online.
Same theory applies to the flower girl dresses. The little princesses look cut ein the dress throwing petals down the aisle, and then the dress is never worn again. This listing is for an adorable Ivory Taffeta a-Line Flower Girl Dress with a Detachable Sash for only $25! That's definitely a bargain!
Found yourself in the predicament of not knowing what to get for the happy couple, and there's nothing on the registry you can afford? Don't stress out. Look to online classified ads for some great modern, or vintage finds. Fine China is a traditional Wedding gift, but could be very pricey. Here's a listing for Lenox Fine China that you can buy in sets, or individually.
Wedding gifts that are personalized are also great to receive. You can get a Toasting Glass Set for only $14.99. Don't want to get them glassware, then get them something they can display in their home that represents their love. This great Canvas Print can be personalized for the newlyweds for $44.99!

Lowered and firmed-up suspension sits beneath, and the package is finished off with a Hydro Blue racing stripe. We've liked the idea of a Solstice coupe since we saw the first one — it's too bad chances are slim we'll ever see one in showrooms. We'll bring you shots from the SEMA show floor starting later today. [GM via eGMCarTech]

AMZER Product Review:
Have a Smartphone but dont have anywhere comfortable to put it on long bicycle rides? Or do you simply want a convenient place on your bicycle to attach your Smartphone? Then the Bicycle Handlebar mount is a great choice!
Unlike a lot of bicycle mounts, this one is a breeze to install. You simply take the mounting piece, unscrew the bracket, fit it to your handlebars and screw the bracket back on, attach the cradle and then slide in your device and close the arms to get a tight grip on it. When youre read to release, you just push the release button and you instantly have your device.
In addition to easy installation, the mount maintains an excellent grip on your device, enough so where I could hold the mount upside down and shake it violently without it coming loose at all. As well, the mount can also rotate 360 degrees using an easily adjustable ball and socket joint, making it easy to find a good spot on your bicycle while keeping your Smartphone usable and accessible at any angle; this feature is especially nice if your device supports a panorama mode.
For a very low price, this is one of the best bicycle mounts around.

Works well with a motorcycle. i use it on my Honda Shadow VT1100C. With a bluetooth helmlet this mount makes the phone act as a GPS and makes it easy to answer phone calls see who it is calling with Caller ID . It fits great with my HTC Droid Eris and HTC Droid incredible. My wifes Motorola Droid A855 seems to fit well but i am not so sure of its weight for the plastic.

Welfare reform efforts by Republicans in Augusta suffered a setback today at the hands of majority Democrats, who blocked a GOP-backed measure from consideration in the next session that begins in January. The bill would have required applicants for benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to prove that they are actively looking for work. It's one of about 400 measures reviewed by a committee of legislative leaders who decided instead to advance a bill that would expand Medicaid benefits. A.J. Higgins has more.
The second session of the Legislature is shorter than the first, and is dedicated to the review of bills that were carried over from the previous session. Lawmakers will also consider budget bills and emergency legislation. The Legislative Council -- a 10-member committee comprised of House and Senate leadership - must determine which new bills are deemed worthy of consideration and which are not.
If the process sounds political, it's because it is. And House Republican Leader Ken Fredette says there should be no doubts about what his job-seeking bill for welfare recipients is about. "I think it's partly about what the Republican Party stands for," Fredette says.
Fredette's bill would require those applying to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program - or TANF - to prove they were actively looking for work before they could receive benefits. That's a position supported by Gov. Paul LePage, who says there are simply too many people in Maine who are getting paid not to work.
But Fredette's proposal was not well received by the Legislative Council, which consists of six Democrats and four Republicans. Fredette says the rejection is a setback not only for Maine taxpayers, but also those who receive benefits.
"It's about setting a tone in Maine that people have to be responsible for their own lives," Fredette says. "We want to take of those who need the services, those that are most in need. But at the same time we don't want there to be any abuses in the system. These are not barriers; these are simply requirements for people to meet to receive state benefits."
In rejecting the bill, majority Democrats sided with advocacy groups that have argued the proposed requirement turns a blind eye to many of the serious obstacles that young mothers receiving TANF benefits encounter daily. Access to transportation, child care and physical disabilities are real impediments to TANF recipients, according to Sara Gagne-Holmes, the executive director at Maine Equal Justice Partners. Gagne-Holmes says her clients are anything but freeloaders.
"The data just does not support that," Gagne-Holmes says. "These families are struggling. Often times they turn to TANF when they are in crisis. We need to help them be able to pick up the pieces of their lives, and then help them transition into the workforce with skills that will provide a living wage."
While Republicans stake their political reputations on welfare reform, Democrats want Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act to be their defining issue. Lawmakers passed such a bill and came close to overriding the governor's veto earlier this year, and House Speaker Mark Eves says his bill to reinstitute the expansion is necessary if Maine is going to avert a health care crisis.
"We are losing, come January first, $700,000 a day, and 25,000 Mainers are going to lose their health care come January 1," Eves says. "We have a great opportunity here and that is why I'm very excited about the effort to make sure that 70,000 Mainers have health care."
Republican State Chair Rick Bennett accused Eves and other Democratic leaders of violating legislative rules that say a bill can't be introduced twice in the same two-year legislative term.
But the rules also allow for emergency measures, and Eves says that if health care isn't an emergency in this state, he doesn't know what is.
