"Paying for beer only" Prague Local Custom Tip by anglosaxon
Prague Local Customs: 352 reviews and 436 photos
If you intend a visit to a Czech bar then you'll find a slightly different way of paying. It's rare to find anybody standing in a truly Czech bar as many tables are provided for sitting at. When the waiter brings your first beer he will generally not ask for money at that time. If you ask for a second beer, this will start a tab i.e. he will bring the beer and then a piece of paper will appear on the table with pen marks on it. Each line represents one beer. At the end of the evening he counts the lines and then you pay. There's information on Czech menus and barfood here

EU foreign affairs head Catherine Ashton begins a trip to China and Mongolia on Wednesday, aiming to take stock of hugely important ties with the new leadership in Beijing.
"China has just completed its leadership change and this is a moment to renew ties, take stock of events in the world and assess how we can best move forward and work together," Ashton said in a statement.
It said the agenda will focus on international issues including Iran, Syria, North Korea and Afghanistan, and that Ashton will meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Defence Minister Chang Wanquan, among others.
The EU and China are major trading partners but ties have been strained at times by disputes over market access.
On the political level, Beijing has consistently backed greater European integration but has resented EU criticism of its human rights record, which it sees as interference in its internal affairs.
Human Rights Watch said Wednesday however that Ashton should press the issue when she is in Beijing and especially the case of imprisoned writer Liu Xiaobo who won the Nobel laureate in 2010.
"Ashton cannot ignore the deteriorating human rights environment in China," the group said in a statement, arguing that EU efforts so far have had little impact.
China has just completed a transition to a new generation of Communist Party and government leaders, with President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Premier Li Keqiang both anxious to keep the economy on track and assert the country's place on the international scene.
Ashton's visit to Mongolia is the first at this level, the statement said, adding she will meet Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj and Prime Minister Noroviin Altankhuyag.
She is to sign a Partnership and Cooperation agreement with Mongolia, "paving the way for closer cooperation on economic, environmental and other issues," it added.

Mitt Romney, the Most Tone-Deaf Person on Earth, Invites President Obama to Go Waterskiing
This happens way too often.
We're reaching the point where Mitt Romney can pretty much sound as rich as he wants because he's now said so many completely tone-deaf, rich-sounding things that new instances of the phenomenon are barely worth noting anymore. This is good for Romney, because he seems completely unable to filter himself.
In an interview with Fox News' Neil Cavuto this afternoon, Romney declined to play President Obama in a round of golf, but he did offer to take him waterskiing. Look, there's nothing wrong with waterskiing, but it's not exactly a relatable sport for most people. (See also: John Kerry windsurfing.) Romney could have proposed a steak cook-off or a bowling competition or ... anything that doesn't remind people of his own privileged lifestyle. But he doesn't think that way. It's kind of refreshing, actually, how bad he is at pretending to be someone else.

This epic horse story, in the tradition of BLACK STALLION, marks exciting new territory for one of our most treasured and celebrated novelists.
A puzzling photograph, a box filled with faded toy horses, and a single fractured memory are all that Maya has left of her mother. In Grandmother house, she lives like a captive, tethered by rules... until a shocking event changes everything. A world away, in the rugged Wyoming wilderness, a wild mustang called Artemisia runs free, belonging only to the stars. In a land where mountain lions pose an ever-present threat, she must vigilantly defend her foal... until a devastating act separates them from their band. Like a braided rein, Maya's and Artemisia's lives will ultimately intertwine.
About the Author
Pam Munoz Ryan grew up in the San Joaquin Valley of California and now lives with her family near San Diego. She based this story on the experiences of her maternal grandmother whose privileged life in Mexico was altered dramatically when she immigrated to the United States and went to work in a company-owned farm labor camp. She is the author of the acclaimed "Riding Freedom" and "Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride," an ALA Notable Children's Book.

What's new in the Orange to Blue races? Keep reading.
CA-07: It's been a while since we checked in on Ami Bera in his bid to oust Rep. Dan Lungren. There's some encouraging news, in that the secretary of state is reporting that Democrats have regained an edge in voter registrations in this closely watched rematch.
FL-22: Eric Cantor's Young Guns Action fund, yet another Super PAC, has been running an ad against Lois Frankel alleging that when she was mayor of West Palm Beach, she had caused a budget deficit. Frankel has succeeded in getting one station to pull the ad because it's inaccurate. The city is required by law to have a balanced budget; there was not deficit under Frankel's watch. Small victories on the way to the big one.
IL-13: David Gill has been attacked by the conservative American Action Network (AAN) for supporting a single-payer health care program. Now the National Republican Congressional Committee has jumped on the bandwagon, taking a short statement by Gill that "Medicare would no longer exist" totally out of context. Of course, what Gill was explaining was that a Medicare for All program would mean that Medicare wouldn't exist as it is now, but would be part of a universal single-payer program that would provide everyone, seniors included, with health care. Not with vouchers.
MN-06: Rep. Michele Bachmann pays opponent Jim Graves a compliment, though that's probably not what she intended when she sent out a fundraising appeal telling supporters that she's in the "most heated race of my political career." That's sure what we intended. By the way, we made some local news with our Hell to Pay for Graves. Good job, team Orange.
NH-01: The Concord Monitor is "flabbergasted" over "bizarre" remarks made in yesterday's debate between tea party freshman Frank Guinta and challenger, former Rep. Carol Shea Porter, on the idea of creating a commuter train line from Massachusetts up to Concord. Guinta thinks it's a bad idea to encourage New Hampshire residents to find work in Massachusetts. For real.
NY-18: Good news for our most recent Orange to Blue addition, Sean Patrick Maloney. The Working Families Party has endorsed him, and he will appear on the WFP ballot line, as well as the Democratic line, on November's ballot. (Early ballots, however, might have already gone out with the WFP placeholder Larry Weissman on the ballot.) Polling in the Maloney's race against tea party freshmen Rep. Nan Hayworth has given Hayworth double digit leads, but that's in a three-way contest. However, PPP just polled the race for the AFL-CIO, and found that, in a two-way race, it's all tied up at 43 percent.
PA-08: Democrat Kathy Boockvar has a pretty clever new ad out against Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick. Politics PA writes it up:
How do you beat an incumbent who's well known and well liked in his district? Stick to his votes. That's exactly the message of Democrat Kathy Boockvar's clever new television ad, which casts incumbent Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick as an ill-fitting shirt.
CT-Sen: Linda McMahon has been busy trying to convince Connecticut voters that she isn't really anti-woman, thanks to a smart ad from Democrat Chris Murphy. Maybe that's all to try to change the subject from this Stamford Courant story: "For the second time in less than a week, a review of municipal records by The Courant show that McMahon also failed to pay her property taxes on time. She paid the property taxes on her Greenwich home late four times since 1984 and was assessed close to $ 2,000 in interest and penalties. This comes a few days after news that McMahon was six weeks late this month paying taxes on a Stamford condo she owns with her husband Vince." Oops.
OH-Sen: This is good for Sen. Sherrod Brown: He has a 53-41 lead over challenger Josh Mandel. Also good for Brown, Salon reports that Mandel deliberately avoided paying payroll taxes for his campaign staff when he was running for state treasurer in 2010. Treasurer. The person in charge of the state's books. Yeesh.
WI-Sen: No wonder Tammy Baldwin is surging in this race against crotchety old Tommy Thompson. He's Romney-like in his ability to say really stupid things. Like this from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: "Republican Senate candidate Tommy G. Thompson told a tea party group in June that he wants to 'do away with the Medicare and Medicaid'" … Presumably referring to his efforts as governor to eliminate Wisconsin's welfare program, Thompson said, "[W]ho better than me … to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare?'" And he thinks Wisconsin voters are going to be scared by the word liberal?
Daily Kos for Marriage Equality:
Maryland: Labor is stepping up to organize for the gay marriage referendum.
The state AFL-CIO and SEIU are full partners in the Marylanders for Marriage Equality coalition, Nix says, as is the Maryland State Education Association, an affiliate of the giant National Education Association. Smaller partners are Washington, D.C.-based UNITE HERE Local 25 and International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE) Local 70.
Washington: The National Organization for Marriage is kicking in $ 250,000 into the campaign against marriage equality in Washington, with promises of more to come.

From the moment I saw Tiger Woods personal "TW" logo I loved it. I tried to do something similar here designing for my friend Mihailo Vukelic.*

I think my only issue at all is that the angularity and "feel" kind of bring to mind the Transformers logo for me... but that could just be my extreme geekiness showing. lol
I think that's a legitimate observation. The angularity and symmetry is the same logic by which the Transformers iconography was devised. Although that hadn't occurred to me till now...
very nice. i think you got it perfect.
thanks. I did this in about five minutes cause it just kinda popped into my head, I think I need to make it just a bit more angular to emphasize the "V" not "U" but otherwise...
i love it it's very simple and clever
Seriously, the more I look at this I'm blown over by the economy of design.
thanks. The letters of your name seemed to lend themselves so easily to this treatment, I couldn't resist. I really was trying to do something with the letters of my own name but I can't seem to find a solution that's quite as evident (yet).

Married in Beautiful Tranquilo Bay
Panama and Costa Rica: Tranquilo Bay, Selva Bananito & more
We ate breakfast at the hotel out on the water. Very good breakfast . Jim and Jay arrive at the dock at 10 AM. The boat ride to Tranquilo Bay is about a 1/2 hour. It is again nice to be on the water and the scenery is beautiful. Crystal blue water and gorgeous, plush islands.
Tranquilo Bay itself is also very beautiful. We arrive at their boat dock and then walk on a board walk through the marsh lands. Jim and Jay show us where the dinning area and where they live (same building). I finally get to meet Renee, Jim's wife, and their two kids Body and Tres. After exchanging so many emails back and forth, it is great to meet her.
We are then escorted to our bungalow. Tranquilo Bay has 6 bungalow type rooms. Each one has a porch with two hammocks, one or two beds depending on accommodation needs, and private bathrooms and showers. They give us the farthest bungalow so we can overlook the water. It is beautiful. The bungalow isn't located directly on the water. It is on a bluff that faces the water.
The room inside is beautiful. It is very roomy and has a homey feel. It feels more "Americanized" than our other places but the comforts of home are a welcomed touch after being in the Jungle and thinking I had bugs crawling on me at night. The rooms have air conditioning and fans. The bathrooms are beautiful and the showers are roomy. You can drink the water from the tap as it is filtered rain water.
We get a chance to freshen up before it is time to have lunch.
For lunch we had taquitos, rice and salad. It was very good.
Now it is time to go snorkeling. I am so excited. I have never really snorkeled before. We load up all the gear and head out. Jim is going to be our guide. He parks the boat near some reef and gives us a brief overview on how to snorkel. We get started and we follow him for awhile while he points different things out. After about 10 minutes, we realize the current is very strong and we have drifted pretty far from the boat. Jim decides the current is a little too strong and that it would be better for us to find a different spot.
When we find the next snorkeling spot, we all split up. It is so neat to see the beautiful coral and the cool fish. When I have to clear my snorkel, I am so nervous to step down because I am afraid I am ruining the coral. So that is a little bit of a challenge. I know Kurt and I both swallowed quite an amount of sea water.
We saw all of the tropical fish you would see. It is so cool to watch them dart in an out of the coral. Jim found a puffer fish and pointed it out. This thing was pretty creepy. It is tucked in between the rocks and it is all puffed up. It just stares at us from the safety of its little cove.
Then we split up again. I am wondering around looking at things when I came upon a shark. Now being from Montana and living my entire life there, I really don't have experience with Sharks. My first instinct is panic. I surface to see how far Jim is. He and Kurt are pretty far away. I don't know what to do. So I decided my best bet is to try to get closer to where Jim and Kurt are. I start swimming as fast as I can (thank goodness for flippers as I can swim a lot faster). While I am busting my butt to get to safety, all I can hear in my head is the Jaws music. Then it occurs to me that my rapidly kicking feet and legs looks like food to the shark so that causes me to panic even more.
Finally, I reach Jim and Kurt. I tell them about the shark and Kurt is fascinated. Jim must've read the horror on my face because he tells me that the shark is called a nurse shark and they are harmless. Good to know (after I have pretty much just had a heart attack).
Kurt and I decide to go see if we can find it again because Kurt is interested in seeing it. We swim together holding hands and all I keep thinking is 'I wonder how many other couples can say they went snorkeling on their wedding day and encountered a puffer fish and a shark'. This is such a neat experience.
In order to make it back to the lodge in time to get ready for the wedding and get married at sundown, we have to start heading back to the lodge. Kurt and I get ready and then meet everyone at the main lodge so we can head out the island where we are going to get married.
We take the boat to Zapatilla Caye. When we arrive, Kurt and I are surprised to see everything the staff has done for our special day. They set up an aisle with coconuts and tea lights, an archway at the end of the aisle made out of palms and made two bonfires at the beginning of the aisle. They also planted two coconut trees at the end of the aisle in our honor. Kurt and I could not have imagined a more beautiful setting for a wedding. The best part is that I never dreamed my wedding would be like this. It was absolutely perfect.
When we return to the lodge we have some appetizers and toast to our wedding. Dinner is a curry chicken dish with rice and we had homemade chocolate ice cream for dessert. The dining room has a very homey feeling and the entire atmosphere is very relaxed. I felt like we have known Jim, Renee and Jay all of our lives and that we were sitting down for a family dinner. Very neat.
Upon our return to our bungalow tonight, we found our room decorated with flower petals. It really made it feel like a honeymoon. What a wonderful way to end a perfect day!

Fix merged to 3x: 1188129.
Thanks Gilad and Shai for helping to fix this.
Fixed in trunk: r1181760
Shai's comment on catching AssertionError made me search for other cases of catching this error in Lucene. Few such cases exist, and they all seem wrong, as they call fail when failing fail due to assert not enabled but fail to detect that failure since they then silently ignore AssertionError thrown by fail(). Opened
LUCENE-3506 for this.
Thanks for reviewing Shai!
I'll change as you propose (confirming your understanding) and commit tomorrow.
I briefly went through the patch:
- In the test, I prefer to still catch Exception, or if you want to be on the safe side, Throwable. And have assertSameResult throw RuntimeException. Calling fail() from there, forcing you to handle Errors, seem too low-level to me ...
- In AdaptiveFacetsAccumulator you have this line: //private Sampler sampler = new RepeatableSampler();. Is it a leftover?
- Maybe add a line or two to RandomSample.createSample() (internal comments), such as:
- "Skip over 'step' documents" before the for-loop
- "Add all leftover documents to the sampled set" before last 'while'.
(Please also confirm my understanding)
- CHANGES - in this case you only need a CHANGES entry for 3x (since the change is applied to there as well), and it is under contrib.
Otherwise, it looks very good !
Before applying this patch should do:
svn mv modules/facet/src/java/org/apache/lucene/facet/util/RandomSample.java modules/facet/src/java/org/apache/lucene/facet/search/sampling/RepeatableSampler.java
I looked at this, and also discussed with Gilad, and it seems that:
- The test is broken as it claims to do N trials in case of failure but it does not, because its try/catch does not catch AssertionError, and so only one trial is attempted. (Few trials make sense because with sampling, there is always a possibility that the selected sample set of docs would not contain the "correct" best facets even with a high over sampling ratio (over sampling means that for the selected set of docs more best facets are collected).
- Even after fixing the test to actually try more than once, it still fails, because there is no randomness in RandomSample... surprising but true.
In this patch:
- Sampler made an abstract class.
- RandomSample renamed to RepeatableSampler which extends Sampler.
- RandomSampler was added - it too extends Sampler - this is a simple random implementation, which is now the default (used by default in SamplingWrapperAccumulator).
- The test randomly selects between the two sampler implementations. If you want to see the behavior that created the bug, remove that latter randomness by setting to false the variable useRandomSampler of BaseSampleTestTopK.testCountUsingSamping().
I think this is ready to commit.
Wasn't sure though, where should the Changes entry go?
The error (from Jenkins) was:
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Results are not the same! at org.apache.lucene.util.LuceneTestCaseRunner.runChild(LuceneTestCaseRunner.java:149) at org.apache.lucene.util.LuceneTestCaseRunner.runChild(LuceneTestCaseRunner.java:51) at org.apache.lucene.facet.FacetTestBase.assertSameResults(FacetTestBase.java:316) at org.apache.lucene.facet.search.sampling.BaseSampleTestTopK.assertSampling(BaseSampleTestTopK.java:93) at org.apache.lucene.facet.search.sampling.BaseSampleTestTopK.testCountUsingSamping(BaseSampleTestTopK.java:76) at org.apache.lucene.util.LuceneTestCase$2$1.evaluate(LuceneTestCase.java:610) reproduce with: ant test -Dtestcase=SamplingWrapperTest -Dtestmethod=testCountUsingSamping -Dtests.seed=39c6b88dcada2192:-cf936a4278714b1:-770b2814b4a6acd7

Couponing burnout happens to the best of us. With so many deals and only so many hours in a week, it's easy for a person to get overwhelmed. If this has happened to you, here are three easy ways to add couponing back into your routine.
1) Have A Goal
At the beginning of the year, I challenged myself to refill my stockpile using just $10 per week. I chose to focus on personal care, cleaning items and pantry staples with a goal of having a 6-12 month supply on hand by the end of the year. I even made a specific list that includes the quantity I need of each.
You'll notice my goals are specific. I have a weekly dollar limit, a specific list of items, and a quantity for each. That makes my progress measurable. In the past, my couponing felt more like a "drop in the bucket" in my saving endeavors. But now I can document my progress and see myself inching closer to my goal with just a little bit of effort and a few bucks each week. It has been just the kind of encouragement I needed to stick with it.
Consider taking some time to make a list of items you would like to include in a stockpiling goal. Estimate how many you need to have on hand for a 6-12 month supply. Then focus your couponing efforts on these specific goals.
2) Be Accountable
Whenever possible, it helps to have a couponing buddy. When two people concentrate their efforts on a similar goal, the spirit of competition kicks in and keeps you going when you get a little burned out.
If you don't have a coupon buddy, you can still keep yourself accountable using your budget. In our family I use the envelope budget system. To keep myself on track at the grocery store, I use one envelope to cover groceries and dining out. When I am able to save big at the grocery store, we can enjoy a nice restaurant meal together. When I don't, we don't go. This is quite the incentive to maximize my savings because we love our weekly restaurant meal!
Consider using a similar budgeting strategy to keep yourself focused. Find a way to reward yourself for staying on track by saving extra from the shopping fund for a highly motivating goal.
3) Cut Yourself Some Slack
Every once in a while you will forget to buy a Sunday paper, or print a coupon. Or you may have an overwhelming week and miss your deal shopping altogether. It happens. When I have a challenging week, I know I can "roll" my $10 weekly stockpiling fund into the next week, thus giving me $20 to shop with. There are no rules. Just do your best and give yourself some grace when you need it.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) -- Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard has won the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation's best defensive back.
Dennard was presented with the award Thursday during the 23rd College Football Awards Show at Disney.
The senior from Georgia finished the season with four interceptions and had two games with nine tackles, leading a dominant defense that carried the fourth-ranked Spartans to the Big Ten title. They will play No. 5 Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
The other finalists were Florida State's Lamarcus Joyner and Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert.

|CONTINENTALAFA DISPENSING COMPANY Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Trigger Sprayer Having a Reduced Number of Parts and a Double Tubular Valve Member - A trigger sprayer has a one piece valve member that includes both an inlet valve element and an outlet valve element. The one piece valve member replaces the separate liquid inlet valve and liquid outlet valve of a conventional trigger sprayer, and thereby provides a more simplified construction for the trigger sprayer and a fewer number of component parts in the trigger sprayer.
|Venting System for Battery Operated Sprayer - A venting system for a trigger sprayer includes an elongate vent member positioned in a vent hole in a closure cap of the trigger sprayer and a trigger actuator that is connected by a pivot connection to the trigger sprayer. The pivot connection of the trigger actuator is in close proximity to the vent member and the vent hole, and a finger engaging surface on the trigger actuator extends away from the pivot connection and away from the closure cap. Manipulating the trigger actuator toward the trigger sprayer causes the trigger actuator to pivot about the pivot connection and push the vent member into the vent opening of the closure cap, thereby opening a vent pathway through the closure cap. Releasing the trigger actuator allows the trigger to pivot away from the trigger sprayer and pull the vent member through the vent opening in the closure cap to close the vent pathway.
|Trigger Sprayer Nozzle Assembly with Pull/Push Foaming Tube - An indexing nozzle assembly for a trigger sprayer is comprised of a nozzle base that is attachable to a sprayer housing of the trigger sprayer, a cap that is mounted for rotation on the nozzle base, and a foaming tube that is mounted for linear reciprocating movement on the cap. Rotation of the cap on the nozzle base changes liquid discharge from the trigger sprayer between an off condition and at least a spray condition. In the spray condition of the nozzle cap, the foaming tube can be manually pulled and extended from the nozzle cap. With the foaming tube extended from the nozzle cap, the liquid discharge from the nozzle assembly in a spray pattern comes into contact with an interior surface of the tube and generates a foam discharge from the nozzle assembly.
|Break-Away Spring and Piston Rod for a Trigger Sprayer - A manually operated trigger sprayer has an integral plastic spring and pump piston rod that are connected by a breakable connection, whereby the spring and piston rod can be assembled to the trigger sprayer as one piece and are subsequently broken into two separate pieces in response to their assembly to the trigger sprayer, or subsequent manual operation of the trigger sprayer.
|Trigger Sprayer Having a Two-Piece Shroud with Top and Bottom Pieces - A trigger sprayer that is manually held and operated to pump liquid from an attached bottle and dispense the liquid in a selected discharge pattern from the trigger sprayer has an aesthetically appearing shroud that is comprised of only two pieces that snap together over the exterior of the trigger sprayer housing.

EDMONTON - In Toronto, billionaire steel magnate Alex Shnaider wants to buy the Maple Leafs. In Edmonton, two groups, one led by billionaire drugstore czar Daryl Katz, are battling for control of the Oilers. In Vancouver, after a long court fight between two groups of old partners, both desperate to own the Canucks, one partner, Francesco Aquilini, has finally come out on top.
After a long period of economic dark days, Canadian NHL franchises are suddenly a hot commodity.
So what has changed?
Owners, academics, business journalists and financial experts say a number of factors have combined to make Canadian teams a better risk -- namely the strong Canadian currency, the financial stability brought about by the 2005 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the players union and the league and, finally, a new kind of development model for NHL arenas that is seeing them built not as lonesome, stand-alone structures but as catalysts for larger commercial and residential developments in city cores.
The dollar: the big difference
The value of the Canadian dollar is crucial for Canadian teams because their revenue comes in Canadian dollars but their major expense, players' salaries, is paid out in U.S. funds. For several decades, this put Canadian teams at a tremendous disadvantage. As recently as January 2002, the Canadian dollar traded for 61.79 cents US, its all-time low, part of a trend that saw the Canadian dollar trade for under 70 cents from 1996 to 2003. Partly as a result, in 1995 the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver, and in 1996 the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix.
The Canadian teams were in so much trouble that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman had to initiate a financial assistance program that saw millions of dollars transferred from American owners to Canadian owners, much to the chagrin of the Americans. As Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis recently groused on his blog: "I remember having to pay corporate welfare to help Canadian clubs in the NHL under the banner of an assistance program. I remember a broker coming to me to sell the Montreal Canadiens on the cheap. The book was being sent around via e-mail to buy the team and an American bought it for a song. That was not long ago."
Leonsis is referring to American businessman George Gillett's 2000 purchase of 80 per cent of the Montreal Canadiens and the Bell Centre for $185 million US.
But the Canadian dollar has been on a rocket ride in recent years, reaching parity with the U.S. dollar in September 2007. Just as the value of the Canadian dollar has shot up, so has the value of Canadian franchises. "It's a big driver," says Cal Nichols, former chairman of the Edmonton Investors Group (EIG), owners of the Oilers.
In 2002, Edmonton was the least valued franchise in the NHL at $86 million US, worth just $16 million more than what the EIG paid for the team in 1998. But in Forbes magazine's October 2007 valuations of NHL teams, the Oilers were valued at $157 million and ranked 18th overall.
Other Canadian teams have seen similar increases in franchise value, moving up an average of 12 places in the rankings. The revenues of these Canadian teams have also shot up in comparison to their American competitors, with Canadian clubs rising an average of 11 spots since 2002.
The Oilers moved from revenues of $43 million in 2002 to revenues of $71 million, according to Forbes. But Nichols says the Oilers revenues are now higher than the Forbes estimates, with the team sixth overall when it comes to gate receipts and likely close to the top 10 when it comes to overall revenue.
Because of the low dollar, Canadian teams were able to justify cranking up ticket prices in the past decade, says University of Alberta physical education professor Dan Mason, as they had argued that without high prices they could not pay big salaries in American dollars. But as the dollar has risen, Canadian ticket prices have remained high, Mason says, much higher than the U.S. teams.
According to Team Marketing Research's report of October 2007, the six Canadian NHL teams are all in the top 10 when it comes to ticket prices, with the Leafs and Canadiens leading the league with an average ticket price (all US dollar figures) of $88.32 and $67.55, respectively. The Oilers are fifth with an average ticket price of $61.09. The league average is $48.72. "Now it's acceptable for no tickets to be less than $140 in the lower bowl (in Canadian NHL cities)," Mason says.
With both revenues and the Canadian dollar so high, it's more of a seller's market now in Canada, Mason says. "If you think the dollar is going to settle down, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad time to sell."
Canada is so strong now that it made little sense not to move the Nashville Predators to Hamilton last summer, says Drew Dorweiler, a principal at the Montreal business valuator Wise, Blackman. The move was only thwarted after Nashville's owner turned down a $240-million offer from Canadian BlackBerry tycoon Jim Balsillie. "It would have been a fantastic idea," Dorweiler says of the Hamilton relocation. "I can't believe someone is actually foolish enough to buy a team and keep it there (in Nashville)."
An NHL team in Winnipeg would also make sense, Dorweiler says, but only if the Canadian dollar shows it can maintain its strength over the next few years.
Cost certainty: the new paradigm
NHL owners were big winners when the players agreed to a new CBA in 2005, one that limited players' salaries to 54 to 56 per cent of all hockey-related revenues for each franchise, no more than $50 million US per team this season. The salary cap brought something that financial experts call "cost certainty" to all NHL teams but this factor most favoured the small-market teams, such as Edmonton. "They are able to compete more," says Gordon Saint-Denis, an executive with C. I. T., a leading broker of professional sports teams in Manhattan.
This year, the Oilers are spending up to the cap maximum, with salaries totalling $50 million, sixth highest in the league, reports NHLnumbers.com. Every Canadian team is now in the top 15 when it comes to players' salaries. Unlike many American teams, they can count on a reliable fan base to support such high salaries, Saint-Denis says. "There's more certainty with respect to your fanbase. ... You don't have to have a Stanley Cup champion to get people in to see your games, where in the non-traditional markets, they really need to catch lightning in a bottle to get fans to wake up."
But cost certainty has made it easier for all NHL owners, in both Canada and the United States, to sell for a good price. "It's a whole new paradigm with respect to what they're buying," Saint-Denis says. "You can sit down and do a budget and say, 'Here is what players are going to cost at the most.' "
Nashville's former owner, Craig Leipold, bought his team for $80 million in 1998, then reportedly lost $70 million in his nine years running the club, but was able to sell it for $193 million last November. "Prospective buyers are seeing big upsides," says Michael Ozanian, national editor at Forbes, who has prepared the NHL franchise valuations for a decade now. "If you can get a good building deal and with the salary cap, you can make money with a hockey team, even if a national TV deal never comes through."
Arena redevelopments: the new recipe
The new focus for NHL owners, and other pro sports owners, is to be involved in a real estate deal where a new sports arena and franchise are the catalyst for a greater development in the immediate vicinity, such as the construction or remodelling of hotels, movie theatres, shopping malls and condo units.
"It's the new recipe of pro sports," says Saint-Denis. "It's the evolution of the sports franchise, where you combine it with real estate and brand it with the sports franchise."
"You see almost every big arena or stadium project these days encompassing something like that," says Kevin Reichard, publisher of Arena Digest. "It's to ensure a revenue stream to help build the buildings because public sources of funding are on the wane."
Taxpayers may not want to build a new arena for a "greedy sports owner," Reichard says, but if the arena project includes new housing, offices and retail, they might be more amenable to some public financing, in terms of the city paying for infrastructure costs or donating land.
Numerous projects have been built or are under construction along these lines, almost all of them a mix of private and public funding, including redevelopments around the arenas in Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, Columbus and Toronto and the ballparks in San Diego and Baltimore. "The goal is to create a district where you have constant activity," Mason says, which is why football stadiums don't work so well in this context as they only have a small number of operating dates each year.
In San Diego, the Padres owner paid $153 million US towards the building of the new $456.8-million ballpark, with the rest being public funds, but the city is recouping money from new taxes generated from the $1.5 billion in development around the park, Mason says.
In Columbus, Nationwide Insurance built the rink and redeveloped the surrounding 95-acre area at a cost of only $32.5 million to the city in the form of infrastructure upgrades, Mason says. "When you think about how much the South Edmonton Common interchange is going to cost, it's peanuts."
In some of these developments, such as the proposed Maple Leaf Square with its two massive retail/residential towers near the Air Canada Centre, the team owner is part of the private ownership of the greater redevelopment. In others, such as in Columbus, one business builds the arena and redevelops the area, then leases the rink to the team owner. But all these projects have worked well to revitalize slumping areas in American cities, Saint-Denis says.
If the new Oilers owner or owners get involved with a massive area redevelopment around a new arena, there is less likely to be controversy about public money going into the venture, Mason says, as the interests of the city and team owner to create a vibrant area in the core will align.
There will also be few worries about the team picking up and leaving Edmonton. "It makes no business sense for the team owner to decrease the profitability of his or her other business ventures to relocate," Mason says.
When people think about the lack of vibrant development around Rexall Place, they get the wrong idea about how things will unfold in Edmonton's arena project, says Jim Taylor, executive director of the Downtown Business Association. Any new development will have to include numerous amenities, such as condos, retail and public spaces. "This is so much more than a sheet of ice for the Oilers, but that becomes the catalyst for this kind of development."
Oilers fans have wondered if it's better to have one rich owner or a large, less-cohesive group, such as the EIG, own the team, but Mason says this isn't the issue. The key is to come up with the right redevelopment plan for the arena project, a big unknown right now.
In his bid to own the Oilers, Daryl Katz has talked about putting $100 million towards the building of a new arena but it's not known what his plans are for any kind of greater redevelopment, or how much control of all arena revenues he will ask for in return for that initial investment.
Things are similarly murky right now with the EIG's new chairman, Bill Butler, a land developer, and his plans.
Taylor, a member of an arena advisory board subcommittee, says both Butler and Katz would be looking at a major redevelopment, not just the construction of a stand-alone arena.
"I think they realize you can't take a Rexall Place and plunk it downtown. Nobody is going to want that. ... I know these guys are big thinkers. They're smart enough to realize that to get what they want (a state-of-the-art arena), it has to be part of this bigger picture," Taylor says.

So my dear dear husband, sweet man, washed the diapers for me before a trip we're taking tomorrow. He also washed my babes homemade wool puddle pad. It's just a piece of wool that we put down under sheets.
Then he put them together in the dryer. The prefolds faired okay, but the microfiber/fleecey Flip Inserts not so much. They have black pieces of pilled wool stuck all over them and feel rough. They feel staticky and rough. I washed once more and dried on hot hot heat, it took care of a bit, but they are still rough and pilled.
What can I do? Quickly? Today. We are leaving for a long trip tomorrow & I need to take these with me- usable- not all pilled and rough and staticky.

"XLTE" Expansion Boosts Capacity To The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Network In South Mississippi
GULFPORT and BILOXI, Miss., June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has expanded its newest technology – known as XLTE – to more Mississippi locations to boost 4G LTE network capacity and enhance high-speed services for customers in Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula. Today, more than 300 of Verizon's 4G LTE 500-plus markets have been enhanced with XLTE, with more scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.XLTE utilizes Verizon's AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) spectrum, which allows Verizon to deliver significantly increased capacity – at a minimum, doubling the capacity -- over its high-speed 4G LTE network. This means more customers in high-traffic locations can access the company's most advanced technology at the same time to send photos, download videos, surf the Internet and use other popular applications on their smartphones, tablets and other devices during times of peak usage." Mississippi customers are especially mobile and enthusiastic users of 4G LTE – sharing photos and video, downloading large files, and staying connected to enjoy a great wireless experience," said Krista Bourne, president – Houston/Gulf Coast Region, Verizon Wireless. "With XLTE, Verizon Wireless continues to enhance its network to ensure the best possible experience and continue to deliver on our brand promise to customers." XLTE technology is particularly effective in enhancing wireless network performance in settings with a concentrated group of high-data demand customers, such as densely-populated areas, rush hour commutes, concert venues, sports arenas/stadiums and other large event locations. First launched in December 2010, the Verizon 4G LTE network build is virtually complete, covering more than 500 markets nationwide and nearly 97 percent of the U.S. population. Verizon's XLTE deployment is a major part of the company's ongoing commitment to enhance network reliability and superiority. The company has invested more than $90 billion nationwide since 2000 to build and enhance its wireless network, and consistently earns top rankings from independent consumer reporting and testing institutions for network quality and performance.

well my son's father never comes around and hardley sees him and when he does it's only for no more than 5 mins. 3 wks ago he came to see him for the first time in like a month and Dezmond just had hernia surgery so my sons father came to the hospital with his father and stepmother [ who never seen my son ] they drove about 45 mins to the hospital and stayed there in the recovery room for about 5-6 mins tops and of course he obviously doesnt knw them let alone when hes recovering after a surgery want to be bothered with people he doesnt know so they left. Yest. I wrote him a message on my myspace considering the fact thaT is the only way i could contact him because he blocks his number when i call him but lets not get into that or the fact that hes suppose to give me 40 $ a wk and gave me it one time since the order has been made in june. He prolly only seen him about 6xs tops for 5 mins each visit. BUT ANYWAY! i wrote him a message on mysapce and said so when ru guna come see dezmond for more than 5 mins??? because i just moved in with my x's aunt and uncle [ whos my sons godfather ] and hes starting to call him dada and it makes me sad!!! so i wrote that and he had the nerve to just write call me when i can pick him up... who in there right mind would drop there 18 mo son off with someone they dont know or want nething to do with when they come around... all i want is for him to come nd give it time so he cud get used to him nd then u cud take him but he knows i dont want to drop dez off with him so i think that hes just saying it bc he knows i wont and then he cud act like he wants to see him... u know?? but we have court in nov. idk i just need somehwere to vent
Comments (6)
What do you have court for. If its for visitation, most likely he will be granted some and it will not be supervised. It probably wont be overnight but it will be for a few hours a couple times a week and at first your little one will freak out. It gets easier over time though.
You shoudl be getting way more than $40 dollars a week. Thats 160 a month and that is absolutely nothing to raise a baby on. I would be requesting that cs be withdrew from his check by the employer so that you actually get it.
Other than that I have no other advice. The courts will make him give you his address and phone number but that doesn't mean he will follow through with it. My ex lived in my area all of 6 months and then after court, he moved and I still don't have his address like the order states. Court orders are no guarantee that they will do right.
Me(32), single mama to DS(3/16/03) and DD(8/21/10).
thanks.. yeah i have court to re enstate the order bc it was a private aggreement.. and we have joint legal custody already.. he doesnt have a job and yeah they told me the least amount i cud get is 40 and the most i wud be able to is 60.. and then split day care 50 50.. it sucks itll buy like one dinner for the week and maybe a pack of diapers if im lucky..
I'm really sorry you're going through this.
Sadly, there is nothing you can do to make this man give a damn and act right. I say this alot: Nothing can make a man do something he doesn't want to do. No amount of calls, emails, tears, guilt, legal action, sex, fighting, whatever...will make him do something he doesn't want to do. And the opposite is true too. Nothing you could do could make him stay away from his child if he wanted to be involved. Oh he'll blame you for his falling down on the fatherhood job. It'll be alllll your fault, but we know that's just a bunch of BS.
The point is to quit chasing him down, quit writing to his myspace to get him so see his child, quit trying to make him act right...all that energy is just wasted and putting all the focus on him...when it needs to be on you and your future. Yes, it's sad that your son is calling grandpa daddy...and it's unfair and sad, etc....but it's not the end of the world. And it's not your job to try to wrangle some emotion and attention out of SD. Your only job is to be mommy and support your little guy and help him to grow up happy and secure. If daddy falls down on the job, then that is a reflection on him not on you or your child. You have two choices really - you can raise your son the best you can and make him feel loved and secure or you can raise him to feel that he's got something missing from his life and is a sad little victim. I know you know the right choice there.
It's disgusting that men can flake out on their children. I'm there with you too. My son's father bailed out when he was a baby and continues to this day - 5 years later - to use the daddy card to get sympathy from folks. "I never get to see my son...boohoo...she stole him from me...boohoo...I'm just trying to get to a point where I can see my child...boohoo...etc etc etc" and yet here we are, still in the same place we were before, living our lives and moving forward and no sincere contact from SD has happened in years. It's insulting and infuriating...but it's all on him, no reflection on us nor does it affect our lives.
Good luck,

It's insulting and infuriating...but it's all on him, no reflection on us nor does it affect our lives.
I too am sorry that you are going through this, but if you look at what Renee wrote above, I live with the same thing... It has taken me the past 3 years to start to get over exactly what is copied above...Some days are better than others... What you have to realize is that it is a habit.... There is another post here on the board that states it really well... A lot of times us single parents (not just the mommas Rusty...) tend to bring drama to ourselves to keep the impending doom of contact from coming to us....
We call, we write, we e-mail, we text so that we feel like we have "control" over the situation... Lord knows that I want my son's SD to pay for all that he has done, but after a while, you come to a place in life where you just let it be.... Yes, it's hard, but it comes... You finally decide that the struggle back and forth is just not worth your or your DC's well being both mentally and emotionally....
I still struggle with this from time to time... I want, want, want for him to see what he is missing, want him to pay for not being a contributing factor in being financially responsible, I want more than anything to just kick him straight in the balls to keep from continuing to procreate more children into the same situation...
It will come to you, the peace that will come with letting go... It may take some time, it may come and go, but it will stay longer and longer each time it comes.
Well Thank You very much for your comments. It just makes me sad that he's missing out on having that father figure, but then I think about it and realize if he doesn't want to be in his life hes obviously not good enough to be in his life and doesn't deserve to be there. It sucks, but I wish it was different I guess. Good Luck with you guys. Thank You.
Just be careful what you wish for. You might get a class A jack@zz like Adam's SD.

Schools Aim to Steer Kids from Drugs Program Teaches They're 'Too Good' for Them
Sneller, Beth, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Beth Sneller Daily Herald Staff Writer
For years, adults have told kids they need to say no to drugs and alcohol.
The message gets through to some. But others are undaunted by warnings of what the substances could do to their bodies.
Too Good for Drugs takes a different tactic.
The anti-drug program encourages kids to participate in drug- free activities and focuses on building character.
The idea, of course, is that young people will become "too good for drugs."
Educators and police officers from Naperville, St. Charles and West Chicago participated in training sessions this week to learn about the program, which will replace the controversial Drug Abuse Resistance Education this fall in many schools.
Too Good for Drugs was developed by the Mendez Foundation, a Tampa, Fla.-based organization founded by trucking company owner Charles Mendez.
Mendez created the foundation to help families and children improve their lives. His children took over management of the group after he died in 1967.
In 1975, Charles Mendez Jr. refocused the foundation. Rather than helping children who already were in trouble, he wanted to concentrate on prevention.
He enlisted a core group of staff members to create Too Good for Drugs, and they helped spread it to more than 2,000 school districts across the nation.
The program works, Mendez Foundation Executive Director Cindy Coney said, because it is research based.
Too Good for Drugs bases its curriculum on the nonprofit Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets.
"A lot of times we study people who have the problem," Coney said. "What Search Institute did is look at the traits of children who are successful."
Those traits include family support, positive peer influences, quality time spent at home and peaceful conflict resolution skills.
The more traits the children have, Search Institute says, the less likely they are to use drugs.
Too Good for Drugs developed five components communities can use to help children achieve those assets. They are goal-setting, decision-making, bonding with others, identifying and managing emotions, and communicating effectively.
The 10-week program uses those components as its focal point.
At least one fifth-grade teacher from nearly every Naperville school attended the training sessions, as did police officers who will be teaching the curriculum.
Teachers attended so they could learn more about bringing the curriculum into other parts of the classroom.
The police officers also participated in an all-day session designed to "teach them how to teach."
"This curriculum is only as good as the person who delivers it," Coney said, "We want to make sure these police officers feel comfortable with the lessons. …

Pregnant? New baby? You deserve a doula!
My name is Kristi Doss. I am a certified prenatal and postpartum doua. I absolutely love my job, because I am able to be an active participant in one of the most miraculous events in a woman's life. I believe that women are strong and capable, and that our society has unfortunately created a stigma that pregnancy and birth is a disease to be cured, not a journey to be taken.
As a doula, I believe it is my role to provide support and information to expectant mothers and their families about the miracle of birth. I use a variety of techniques, including both physical and verbal, to help ease the mother's tension during delivery. I also help transition women into the role of motherhood by offering education in infant care and enrichment.
In short, I mother the mother.
