What better way to sum up one of the shadiest seasons in Housewives history than by listing a few of the finale's shadiest lines and moments?
"Miss Ratchet USA"
NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore sparred all season and all night long, with Leakes calling the former Miss USA "ratchet" and claiming she wants to be the star of the show.
"When you check the money they send me, you'll see who's the real star," said Leakes, who was incensed by a Moore blog that alleged she was a "washed up stripper with just a few short-lived gigs in Hollywood."
"I think fans are just sick of NeNe … NeNe has a history of trying to control everyone around her," said Moore. "She's nothing but a dictator."
"You are not a friend to me … I will never have anything to do with you," said Leakes.
"Bye, Felicia," said Moore.
"Bye, Miss America," said Leakes, who later referred to her as "Miss Funk Box."
"Do You Need Me to Pull Down Your Pants and Kiss Your Ass?"
Leakes and Andy Cohen also shared a few tense moments after the host read a fan question that said many in the gay community were livid Leakes had called Moore's friend Brandon "queen" and "said it with homophobia dripping from your lips."
"Really?" said an icy Leakes, who then wondered if Cohen believed that to be true.
"You said it multiple times and you said it in a derogatory manner," he said.
"I apologize to you and the gay community," said Leakes before turning defensive. "Should I hold a gay function? A gay parade?"
"I'm Done Rolling Around the Mud with Pigs."
Moore continued her season-long fight with Phaedra Parks and husband Apollo Nida, which started with "Textgate" and ended with a flirtatious chat in Mexico.
"I'm your storyline," said a constantly flexing Nida, who has been charged with bank fraud and identity theft. "You should be paying me … I built you. So stop playing games. That's all I got to say about my legal issues."
"He's a criminal," said Moore. "He can make up anything."
"You're a sneaky, trifling slut," said a furious Parks, who then made fun of Moore's attempts to have a baby via sperm donor. "You don't know if your baby daddy is an axe murderer … He just needed $10 to get a medium-sized pizza."
"I'm done rolling around the mud with pigs," said Moore.
"You should get your toenails done because they're dirty," stated Nida.
So, as Cohen stated, "End scene." (At least until next season.)

Just like its fraternal twin, the Extra Small Aviator Kit Bag, this is one tough piece of gear. The mesh model is the perfect size for a swimming session at your local gym or beach. Featuring the 3/4 wrap (top and ends) Leno "Stiff Mesh" zipper panel, your wet towel and swimsuit can dry out a little bit instead of mildewing and turning all stinky before you get it home. This is a perfect mesh throw bag for an few dozen feet of float rope and all kinds of marine gear.
Also makes for a handy laundry bag - the rectangle shape contributes to maximum capacity efficiency and the mesh venting keeps you from gagging when you unzip the bag.
The Aviator line of storage and carry gear bags were developed for the budget minded. Featuring the same sturdy materials like 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon fabric and heavy-duty hardware as our regular Red Oxx bags, the Aviators are simplicity by design. They don't have a shoulder strap or attachments, mostly because the "break-over" zip open design does not condone itself with using a strap. Nor do they have any pockets or padding. Just a good old basic bag to serve basic simple needs without the extravagance. Rugged, reliable and tough.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can find, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Measuring 15 inches long, nearly a foot tall and eight inches wide, the 3/4 wraparound break over #10 YKK heavy-duty zipper configuration mesh panel opens up this rectangular wet/dry bag nearly flat. Enveloping 1.5 inch wide webbing handle wraps all the way around the bottom of the bag. It's also double box stitched to the bag. It will fold flat so you can stuff it in your carry-on and use it to bring home wet beach towels, sandals, a soggy raincoat, and the like. Because it has a solid nylon bottom, you won't get any sand in your belongings when you set it down on the beach. Buy two or more, you'll always find a use for them.
No tearing mesh here, or anywhere, ever. Available in Black only.

Al Harris Jr., a defensive back from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., hopes to follow his father's footsteps to the NFL. He decided last week that path will take him through South Carolina.
Harris Jr. committed to the Gamecocks on Friday. He also considered Florida State, Wisconsin, Arkansas and N.C. State. He's the son of former NFL standout cornerback Al Harris, now an assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I really like the scheme they run, it fits my abilities," Harris Jr. said in explaining his decision to commit to USC. "I like the overall feel of the school. And I'll have the chance to play early and make an impact."
Harris is a corner and considers himself to be a strong pass defender.
"I'll be able to play a lot of man-to-man and play a lot of press coverage," he said. "That's mainly what I do. That's the main technique I use."
It doesn't hurt to learn his craft from a former NFL star.
"I work with him more than any other person, he taught me everything I know," Harris Jr. said.
He's the Gamecocks' 10th commitment for the 2014 class and the third for the secondary.
In other recruiting news:
Wide receiver Terry Googer of Atlanta made an unofficial visit to USC on Friday, the latest in a series of visits with the Gamecocks over the past year. "It was a good visit," Googer said. "It was cool and laid back. I liked it." USC, Miami, North Carolina, Vanderbilt and Ole Miss are the other schools Googer has been considering. He now plans to announce a decision Aug. 12 with a ceremony at his school.
Another USC target at receiver, Braxton Berrios of Raleigh, was at USC on Friday and Saturday. He met with Steve Spurrier and Steve Spurrier Jr. on Saturday before leaving. Berrios attended the USC spring game and also took in some games last season. He's been focused on USC, Clemson, Tennessee and West Virginia.
Wide receiver Blake Bone of Woodruff has a top four of USC, Louisville, Kentucky and Mississippi, and the Gamecocks are slightly ahead of the pack. Bone said he also likes Louisville and the Cardinals are right behind USC. He visited USC and Kentucky this summer, and he's not sure if he'll make USC's camp later this month.
USC started recruiting DE Taylor Stallworth (6-3, 280) of Mobile, Ala., in February and was his first major offer. And right now the Gamecocks are the leaders for his services. "I'm highly interested in them," Stallworth said. "It's a great place that fits me, and I'm thinking about going there. They are number one on my list. " Stallworth will attend USC's camp July 27. He went to Alabama over the weekend and will go to Mississippi State on Friday and Auburn on Sunday. Stallworth has Auburn second on his list. The Tigers have not offered, but he is expecting one from them.
Clemson has a commitment from OL Justin Falcinelli of Middletown, Md., and his teammate DE Rick Leonard may not be far behind in pledging to the Tigers, according to his coach. Leonard camped at Clemson in June and the Tigers became the team to beat after that. "Clemson has been, and still is, a major leader on his list," coach Kevin Lynott said. Leonard visited Florida State over the weekend, and his coach said Tennessee has been making a strong push trying to get him to visit as well.
For most of the summer, RB Derrell Scott of Havelock, N.C., has had USC, Ohio State and Florida State as his top three. But his coach said last week N.C. State has become a major player for Scott. "They've done a great job recruiting him, and he's always liked them," Jim Bob Bryant said. Scott will visit N.C. State in the next couple of weeks, according to Bryant. He went to Ohio State for a camp and also visited Florida State this summer. His coach does not expect him to be able to make USC's camp this month.
OL Donnell Stanley of Latta was planning to be at Alabama on Monday for a half-day camp and to go from Tuscaloosa to Mississippi for a visit. From Oxford, he and Latta assistant coach Chris German will drive to LSU for a visit. Stanley has a top six of USC, Clemson, North Carolina, Alabama, Ohio State and LSU, and after these visits he plans to cut his list to four. Right now, Stanley plans to wait until the Under Armour Game to announce.
RB Caleb Kinlaw of Goose Creek has a current top three of Tennessee, North Carolina and Arizona, in that order. Georgia Tech is fourth on his list after a visit there earlier this summer. Kinlaw visited Tennessee and UNC in the spring. New UT coach Butch Jones moved quickly on Kinlaw when he took the job, and that has paid off. "Out of all those teams that have offered, they were the first one to get an offer to me," Kinlaw said. "I like coach Jones and the way they do things, and I like their offense. I like that they are an up and coming team." Kinlaw said he will visit Tennessee and North Carolina again in the next couple of weeks.
DE Michael Preddy of Porter-Gaud made an unofficial visit to Georgia Tech on Friday and later committed to the Yellow Jackets. Preddy also had offers from Wake Forest, Louisville and Charlotte. Last season, he had 94 tackles and 16 sacks.
USC commitment WR Shaq Davidson of Gaffney and Stratford QB Jacob Park, a Georgia commitment, last week accepted invitations to play in the US Army All-American Game in San Antonio on Jan. 4. Davidson will attend USC's camp later this month. Park was the fifth-ranked quarterback in the Elite 11 competition earlier this month. Last season, he passed for 2,700 yards and 25 touchdowns.
Class of 2015 RB Trayvon Thomas of Darlington will attend a camp at USC later this month. Thomas attended a camp at N.C. State earlier this summer and wants to attend a camp at Georgia next summer.
Rising junior QB Will Brunson of Carolina Forest is hearing from USC, Clemson, Charleston Southern, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, East Carolina and Louisville. Brunson attended a three-day camp at Louisville. Brunson grew up a Clemson fan but is unsure of the Tigers' interest level. He is also interested in the Gamecocks. As a sophomore, he threw for 2,300 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Class of 2015 DE Michael Barnett of Woodland has offers from Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Virginia Tech and N.C. State, with interest from USC and Auburn. He has visited each of the schools that have offered and recently attended a camp at Clemson. "I like it a lot up there," said Barnett. "I like the way it's set up. It's very much a college town with the scenery and all. Their coaches are great and treated me like family." He does not have any favorites.
Class of 2015 WR Deondre Daniels of Goose Creek played defensive back as a sophomore but will make the move to the offense this season. Daniels runs track and is getting a lot of interest from several schools, including USC, and would like to play football as well. The schools showing interest in track and field are USC, Alabama, Minnesota, Princeton and Virginia Tech. Daniels camped at USC earlier this summer. He competes in the 200m and 400m events. As for football, his father says Daniels is very specific in his interests. "He just told me he wants to go to an SEC school," he said. "He talks a lot about LSU. That's the school he grew up liking."
USC has offered 2015 prospect DE Christian Bell of Hoover, Ala. He also has offers from Mississippi State, Southern Miss and Akron. He had over 30 tackles with five sacks last season.
2015 QB Tyler Queen of Marietta, Ga., who was offered by Clemson this summer, committed to Auburn. He passed for 2,600 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.
Baseball news
RHP Sawyer Bridges of Summerville committed to Clemson for the 2016 class. Bridges was 5-1 with a 1.13 ERA last season as a freshman. He struck out 34 in 31 innings. Bridges also is the quarterback for the Green Wave football team. He's the first commitment for the Tigers' 2016 class.
RHP Austin DeCarr (6-3, 215) of Foxboro, Mass., has committed to Clemson for the 2014 class. DeCarr also drew offers from other ACC, Big Ten and Big East schools. DeCarr is the seventh commitment for Clemson's 2014 class and the first righthander.

The Southeastern Conference, ignoring the best interest of football fans and Verne Lundquist, has opted to stick with an eight-game conference schedule.
The Atlantic Coast Conference next month will discuss adding a ninth league game, as well as ditching divisions. Prediction: The ACC, with Notre Dame coming on as an alternating non-conference opponent, will follow the SEC and stand pat.
Meaning less potential drama and a similar sprinkle of FBS-FCS mismatches in stadiums across the land.
Elsewhere in the world of disposable income options, most good restaurants in the South still plan on serving their best food every night instead of mixing in FCS Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Wednesdays.
More good games, please.
Fewer meaningless Saturdays.
Eight isn't enough.
Or nine.
Ten reasons why the SEC and ACC should go to 10 conference games per season:
1. TV ratings. Even more important going forward than now, and now more important than ever before. The SEC, with all of its market share, brand loyalty and star power failed to give fans the best individual matchup show in college football: Jadeveon Clowney vs. Johnny Football. A 10-game league schedule would have increased the odds.
2. Schedule strength. The new four-team playoff demands improved schedule strength. A 10-game conference slate builds muscle.
3. Fans in the seats. Season ticket holders deserve better entertainment for the rising cost of fandom that strain tailgate budgets.
"I've been a proponent for eight games," Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. "I like the flexibility that it gives us."
But an eight-game schedule is also inflexible within conference play. That we're about to enter our fourth SEC season without a South Carolina-Alabama game (barring a 2014 SEC championship clash) is a shame for fans of both schools, and fans of good football shows. The ACC never offered Clemson's Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins against Miami's athleticism.
Too late now.
SEC pride, ACC rivalries
4. Schedule fairness. An eight-game conference schedule has just two division crossover games, and inherent unfairness. LSU has to play Florida (and vice versa) every year in the "permanent crossover" format, while Alabama gets Tennessee. Two more crossover games add balance, and more chances for good games in the SEC's 3:30 p.m. Saturday showcase spot with CBS and Lundquist on hand.
5. FCS matchups eventually will find a proper place. Smaller schools that miss fat paychecks that come with playing the big boys will scream, and we don't want those programs going broke. Sensible solution: Every FBS team plays a preseason game vs. an FCS foe that doesn't count in the won-loss records or against schedule strength.
6. Conference pride. If the SEC is so good, let's see it on more head-to-head Saturdays. If the ACC wants to catch up, it needs all the conference rivalry games it can get, new and old.
7. Insurance. Clemson and South Carolina draw well these days, in big part because they're winning. A 10-game conference schedule is insurance against the down years. An extra game against LSU or North Carolina is so much better on the marquee than another game against Sun Belt Tech.
Recruiting 101
8. It's all relative. Worried about tougher schedules making for worse won-loss records? Don't. Every team in the conference has a similar challenge, and if it looks like other conferences will steal some spots in minor bowl games because of better records against weaker schedules, the SEC and ACC can lobby the NCAA to make schedule strength a factor in determining bowl invitations.
9. Student interest. Steve Spurrier almost annually needles South Carolina students about leaving early. Other schools have trouble getting students to show up for football games, and certainly for other athletic events. How about giving the kids more value for their ridiculously high tuition rates and, in many cases, athletic fees?
10. Recruiting. Always be closing, always be recruiting. Players want to play against the best teams, on TV, in front of the most fans and fellow students and with the greatest chance of making a national championship run. Ask Verne Lundquist.

6 Realistic Changes That Would Improve Superhero Movies
If you told Hollywood in the '80s that multiple sequels of superhero movies would make billions of dollars, then you're the asshole behind Superman IV.
DC, Warner Bros
And you'd have come closer to killing Superman than Lex Luthor ever did.
But 20 years later, it's working. Modern movies are generating more superheroes than Take Your Child to Work Day at a toxic waste recycling plant, and more money than the resulting lawsuits. But too many are ending up with the same formula: anonymous nobody, tragedy/accident, things keep getting worse until they're forced face their problems, and everything somehow works out wonderfully. Superhero movies shouldn't have the same structure as Lifetime specials about abusive husbands. Which is why I've come up with dozens of ideas to improve movies. True, most are about how the Kaidanovskys survived in Pacific Rim, but until we get an awesome Russian Giant Robot prequel, thereby completing cinema, here are six story elements other movies can try.
#6. Superhero Refuses to Foil a Bank Robbery
Foiling bank robbers was once the easiest way to show a superhero standing up for justice. Now it's the laziest way to show a scriptwriter not paying attention for 70 years. Innocent civilians still have their money stolen in vast quantities, but banks no longer need robbers to manage that.
Michael Blann/Digital Vision/Getty
"We asked Superman to just drop the money because we've always wanted to try this."
Modern banks are protected by insurance networks more indestructible than adamantium. Even if the world dies in nuclear fire, some exclusive bunker will hold an accountant etching ledgers in his own blood, mixed with engine oil from the ventilation system to make sure it stays in the black.
PhotoObjects.net/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
"I still have all the big numbers, but there's no food left. Luckily, I'm too rich to be bothered by this incredibly subtle moral."
Even if the bank were to fail, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ensures people get their money back. Which means your hero isn't fighting for justice but lowering insurance premiums. Which they'll negate by smashing the place up and killing people. Even the insurance company would tell them to get their ass out of the building faster than the speeding bullets their presence will cause. An untrained uberhuman leaping into a hostage situation is selfish: They're the only person guaranteed to be fine in the ensuing hail of automatic fire.
In Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker endangers everyone in the bank, including his own Aunt May, trying to stop Doc Ock from taking someone else's money. Money Ock would otherwise have mechanically strolled off with. Nobody died, no thanks to Peter "Let's start a fight with the homicidal maniac in a crowded civilian area" Parker, but the collateral damage easily cost more than could have been stolen. They took out dozens of apartments and cars in their building-side battle. They were barely out the door before they destroyed a taxi. Which brings us to ...
#5. People Care About Collateral Damage
If your cinematic street battle destroys even one car, that person's life is screwed. Screwed! You're either the first of a new breed of hero, a lone light in a world of crime, or a new breed far beyond mortal law, and various other things said by both "trailer voiceovers" and "insurance-payment-denying lawyers in the letter claiming it's not covered by their insurance." Losing a car isn't inconvenient -- it's crippling, a savage financial attack which can seriously impact the rest of someone's life in terms of employment, kid's education, medical fees, everything.
Christopher Robbins/Photodisc/Getty Images
"Peter Parker has a hard time at work? My heart bleeds. No, literally, I have serious heart problems
and lost my job when that asshole wrecked my car."
Super-movies indulge in the awful simplification that as long as nobody dies, everything is fine. But you can ruin someone's life far more easily than you can end it. And all those cartoon super battles where they happily explain that they got the civilians clear before Lex's murder-bots level five city blocks? Civilians live and work in those blocks! People just lost their livelihoods, their medical insurance, and some of those people will now die earlier because of those background explosions. It just takes longer. How many small businesses can survive a total premises loss? Only big businesses bounce back from that. I wouldn't be surprised if "killing Superman" was a cover story for expanding LexCorp to dominate the world.
DC, Warner Bros
And no, Man of Steel, flat out killing thousands of people isn't better.
Obviously we don't want superheroes to start being careful. But it would be nice to see civilians react as something more than a casualty count evil high score. The final act shouldn't be the hero standing up to the villain while civilians flee. It should be an entire city descending to beat both to death with cries of "FUCK these guys." Or the first villain to appear in Times Square falls under an actual hail of bullets.
#4. Ignoring Standard Procedures Screws Things Up
Both superheroism and science-fictionry suffer from hotshots skipping the scientists' quarantines and tutorials to get out there and kick ass! Hooo-ah! He doesn't have time for all this nerd shit! You know, this nerd shit that makes all the things he's doing possible in the first place. The implication is that science, standard practices, and safety checks are stupid chores designed to get in the way of the jock fun. So those dumb scientists had better listen to the tough guy!

"Commander Hero McGuffingetter was right: His cock IS bigger than average!"
People like the idea of the hotshot natural talent doing things scientists can't, because that means it's just not their fault that they're no good at anything. They'd rather suck in peace than work to improve.
Just once I want to see one pay for it. Specifically, I want to see Jake Sully from Avatar pay for it. (Avatar was a superhero movie for furries; they just snuck it past us by making us stare at computer nature wallpapers for three hours to turn off our higher functions.) They spend six years shipping him to another world and countless billions of dollars pouring him into a super body through a mind link he could dedicate the rest of his life never understanding, and he can't take one minute for the safety checks? He muscles the geeks out of the way, flashing every one of those poor geniuses back to high school, then sprints out the door. I would have loved to see his unprepared neural system fuse as an uncalibrated body floods it with synaptic overload, then collapse as his damaged brain defends itself by deciding that his new body is paralyzed too. Let's see them build a big blue wheelchair for the impatient asshole.

Also, just once, I want to see "overloading" a machine immediately break it. Because it was overloaded and couldn't take it. That being precisely what overloading means.

P is a point on the circumference of a circle radius r which rolls,
without slipping, inside a circle of radius 2r. What is the locus
of P?
The coke machine in college takes 50 pence pieces. It also takes a certain foreign coin of traditional design. Coins inserted into the machine slide down a chute into the machine and a drink is duly released. How many more revolutions does the foreign coin make over the 50 pence piece going down the chute? N.B. A 50 pence piece is a 7 sided polygon ABCDEFG with rounded edges, obtained by
replacing AB with arc centred at E and radius EA; replacing BC with arc centred at F radius FB ...etc..
What happens to the perimeter of triangle ABC as the two smaller

Turns on Narrow runs/slipways/run off slopes.
I'm not sure how it is elsewhere but the alpes have endless narrow runs down to the resorts, usually packed with skiers :dizzy:
I'm talking about the ones that are 5metres wide tops and usually only green or blue runs but with big-ass drops over the edge.
Now I'm probably an intermediate rider, can go anywhere on piste (greens-blacks) without much of a problem. However when I get onto these narrow runs I'm pretty sure I resort to 'back-leg' ruddering, sometimes I even just slide on one edge the whole way.
I wanna practice sorting this out in the off-season (in snowdomes) so next year I won't have this problem.
Can someone tell me what the aim/technique should be on runs like this? There's always a couple of boarders who manage to just bomb it down doing real dynamic turns.
I've tried searching the forum for similar threads but could so with it clarifying with some solid advice that I can practice.
Thanks in advance! I hate going from cruising down the open piste to crawling down to the resort.
Haha, we have plenty of these narrow "badass drop" tracks :D some years ago, I hated them, especially in spring time. Hard ice in the mornings, nasty mogul parcours in the afternoon. Nowadays I love to ride ("bomb") them.
Not sure what you mean with back-leg ruddering and dynamic turns.
I don't use my upper body for turn initiation on these tracks. Actually, with all the skiers on them, there's not enough space left to do proper turns. So I got it centered and stable and the legs do the work. Depends on how narrow I want to stay and how fast I want to be and how steep the track is. The steeper, the more work is done by the back leg, nose points down, weight on front leg, back leg makes the edge to edge transition. With this, you can stay very narrow and won't gain too much speed in steeps.
If there's slightly more space, I do rather fast edge to edge transitions with both legs equally engaged. Again, not real turns. Both legs bent low, weight slightly on front leg, the moment the edge grips put pressure on the edge so knees will stretch slightly and before the board really turns you use the momentum, change edge, force especially front part of edge and bend knees deep for next "turn". The faster, the lower and more weight on front leg. Dont "ask" the board to turn, force it on edge. Maybe that's not what you wanted to know/do, but that's how I do and it's fun ;)
To be fair, the only thing you should be worrying about here, but if you think you are an intermediate and can really cope with most runs, then it is more than likely just a confidence thing...
The more you ride them as you would any other run the more confident you will become...
If you are in front, then it is down to whoever is behind to be aware of you, not you being nervous because they are behind... Try to put others out of your thoughts and ride as normal... :D
One day I will be that boarder that bombs through the middle of the weaving skiiers... one day :blink:
OR... maybe it just makes me hyper-aware of my technique, whereas I don't think about it as much on a wide open stretch :dunno:
Do you mean the type of run that is this kind of width...???
About 2 mins in, not before...
That is what we have for a green at my local slope, it can be a little intimidating for sure, but once you have a little confidence on it, then you soon understand that you won't have the problems you think you will... ;)
The young lad in the video, is 7, his 1st trip down there last year was hilarious, he was really worried, and actually crashed head 1st into the rocks the other side... Hehe
His season edit shows more about how he copes now, and the difference is huge, which i honestly believe comes down to confidence, i know everyone is different, and our levels are different, but we are all capable of what we put our minds too, it just takes a little longer for some to overcome our fear of what concerns us...
Don't worry though, you are not alone, we ALL have that at some stage, and once through it, it makes the next step in our learning all the more enjoyable...
OP, I know what you mean. Usually these narrow runs are fairly flat pitches where you'll need to go straight to maintain speed, but from time to time you'll run into a moderate pitch. 2 big things are confidence and not target-fixating on the edge. Keep your eyes ahead and not peeking over at the edge constantly. As we all know with snowboarding your body follows your head. If you want to practice just find a wider run and try to maintain a straight path with turns instead of turning across the hill.
I ran into this in colorado this past march, the run below was narrow at the top but a fairly decent pitch up until 30 seconds then it flattened out. Mostly bothered me as I have a mild fear of heights, it's odd because we rode the slope to the right of the edge but still was a weird feeling riding along the ridge. It looks wider due to the gopro wide angle lens. Since you said you sometimes slide on one edge the whole way it mostly sounds like a confidence issue.
I am assuming the OP means a little smaller? Either way, no shame in using some back leg ruddering in the narrows, full on turns with traffic just isn't feasible on some runs. Just my opinion, I'm no expert...
We started a fb page for him in March, and he has nearly a 1000 likes on it already, and we post his videos there, you can see many more, including his 1st attempt at a slush pool, with hilarious results, but he went at it with the aim of succeeding even though he knew he would probably not...
If anyone else wants to follow him or just see more of his videos, www.sneakysnowboarder.com takes you straight there... The more the merrier, he loves that people see what he does, he thinks it's really cool... So much so, he raided his savings to buy his own action camera even though we already had 2 in the house, purely because then it is his, and not mine... So cool...
Just spot a good line and ride it. Sorry, I suck at giving advice.
Bend your knees a lot and dig in to stay stable, you can turn quick to avoid people in your way. I think it's more of mental block for you. Try them early in the day over and over when it's not crowded.

Tracking with the Benoits
From Outdoor JournalMore on this episode »
Tracking is one of the most challenging ways of hunting deer in the big woods of northern New England. Deer are few and far between in the North Country and tracking them, sometimes over several miles, is not easy. It's physically and mentally demanding, and lots of things can go wrong. Many trackers get discouraged and give up early on a deer. But for those who stick with a track, there are special rewards that come with the diligence needed to pursue their quarry over several hours or even days. For many hunters it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to bring home a big buck after a long track. Host Lawrence Pyne spends a few days with the "first family" of tracking, the legendary Benoits of central Vermont.

SVC Ready to Feed Steelers, Fans
Public Relations
Posted: Wednesday Jul 27, 2011
The Saint Vincent College dining services staff has expanded to more than 100 workers who will cook and serve the Pittsburgh Steelers and the tens of thousands of fans who will attend their 46th annual summer training camp opening Thursday.
Under the supervision of general manager Reggie Esmi and executive chef Rick Laskie, the department has been planning for weeks in hopeful anticipation of the Steelers return to finalize the menus for regular daily meals as well as special events and snacks. They have added 40 workers to their regular staff of 75 to ensure that the Steelers will enjoy the same service and hospitality that students and others have come to expect at Saint Vincent. They will serve 140 players, staff and guests for breakfast and 200 to 250 for lunch and dinner.
In preparation for the three weeks of camp, dining services placed an order which would dwarf those at some major restaurants. This year that order included 1,600 pounds each of beef and chicken, 1,100 pounds of fish, 2,200 turkey burgers and 800 pounds of wings. The chefs cook outside on charcoal grills daily.
"The players love juice," Chef Laskie said, "We ordered 160 gallons of orange juice, 90 gallons each of peach, cranberry and apple juice and 50 gallons each of guava and grape juice. We will also serve more than two tons of fresh fruits since the players consume about 120 pounds every day of bananas, plums, nectarines, peaches, oranges, apples, grapefruits and cherries."
Most players like to eat as healthy as possible and will consume about 1,500 pounds of fresh vegetables in the next three weeks -- about 35 pounds of in-season vegetables are served at every meal including broccoli, green beans, zucchini, cauliflower, carrots and squash. Many enjoy fresh greens and other selections from the salad bar.
The dining room will again utilize two large panini presses that can grill a total of 32 custom made, hot deli sandwiches at one time. "The Steelers loved the paninis as much as our students do," Chef Laskie said.
A wood-fired oven in the dining hall provides an excellent facility for baking 20 homemade and hand-tossed pizzas at every meal, a total of nearly 1,000 during the course of camp with the most popular toppings requested being cheese and pepperoni.
Custom-made four-egg omelets are by far the most popular choice by 80 percent of the players for breakfast with side orders of bacon, turkey burgers or sausage, home fries, donuts, fresh fruit, Danish pastries, breads and cereal.
While the emphasis is on good nutrition, the players also crave desserts, especially cheesecake with strawberries, ice cream novelties and Popsicles, apple and cherry pie, chocolate cake and some sugar-free options. Soy milk and a fresh fruit smoothie station are available at every meal.
The Steelers also have a fourth meal every day – a snack in the evening that includes meats (smoked turkey, baked ham, salami and pepperoni), cheeses (American, Swiss, cheddar, pepper jack and provolone), vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, celery sticks, cucumbers), fruit (strawberries and watermelons), tuna, egg and chicken salads, tacos, pizza (plain, pepperoni, meat lovers and buffalo chicken) and freshly-baked cookies.
For the fans who visit camp, the College will also have concessions near St. Benedict Hall, in the Steelers Experience area, along the entrance road under the large weeping willow trees, outside on the patio beside the Robert S. Carey Student Center and in the concession stand at Chuck Noll Field. The Shack snack bar inside the Carey Center will also be open. Hours of operation for the concession areas are 1:30 to 6 p.m. on practice days.
The Willow Tree concession will be selling ice cream, hot dogs, chips and water while the Chuck Noll Field concession will have bottled water, Gatorade, nachos and cheese, ice cream, hot dogs and chips. The concession near St. Benedict Hall is a hydration station featuring bottled water, iced tea and Gatorade. The Carey Center concession will have bottled water, iced tea, Gatorade, chips, hot dogs and whole fruit. The Steelers Experience area will have ice cream, hot dogs, chips, bottled water, pretzels, nachos and cheese, bottled soda and Gatorade.
"We enjoy cooking for the Steelers and serving them and their guests," Mr. Esmi said. "We try to concentrate on healthy eating and ensuring that the players and coaches are happy. We extend the same high-quality preparation and service that our students enjoy including special programs offered through Parkhurst Dining Services such as Local Fresh, Whole Body and Hemisflavors – utilizing authentic international recipes from seven foreign countries including Japan, Mexico, Spain, Greece, India, Thailand, Morocco, Lebanon and Sicily."
"We really enjoy the special meals we are able to prepare for the Steelers," Mr. Esmi concluded, "including those with entrees featuring flank steaks, prime rib, carved beef tenderloin (128 pounds of filet mignon) and the traditional end-of-camp meal menu -- fresh Maine lobster (170 pounds of ten-ounce tails). Everyone loves the Steelers. We are proud to serve them in our dining room and enjoy seeing them satisfied. We want them to remember the food they ate here long after they leave Saint Vincent."

quote: Oh, and that $199 lease payment is a disaster waiting to happen as I encountered so many lease owners who "swore" they would keep the miles in check but went way over
quote: A 30 MPG combined gas car will need $130 to go 1000 miles a month, while the Spark EV will need about $30. You're not going to be able to lease a $14k car for $99/month, and even if you finance it over 5 years you'll still pay less per month with the EV.

Re: >? when i install perl on windows please help me
Most likely, the PATH system variable has not been populated by the path of perl.exe. Go to command prompt, go to the directory where your perl is installed, for example if you installed in C:\Perl, then go to C:\Perl\bin and then type perl -v
you can further test by executing your hello world program by typing
c:\Perl/bin>perl c:\perl_scripts\hello.pl

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Despite considerable challenges, RNA interference (RNAi) as a therapeutic strategy continues to draw excitement and scrutiny. Two recent meetings—Select Biosciences' "RNAi and miRNA World Congress" and "RNAi 2010"—provided updates on the field. A number of presentations focused on advances in the use of major players in silencing the double-stranded RNA segments termed small (short) interfering RNAs (siRNA). Research highlights included novel ways to stabilize and deliver siRNA, especially the use of nanoparticles for targeted delivery.
"Although the initial buzz about RNAi came from its successes in cell cultures, achieving acceptable efficacy in vivo was another matter," according to Dmitry Samarsky, vp, technology and development, RXi Pharmaceuticals.
"There are many obstacles facing successful RNAi compound delivery," Dr. Samarsky explained. "If introduced systemically—that is, into the circulation—compounds are often very labile in biological fluids. They can be quickly inactivated by blood nucleases or cleared from the body. Even when directly injected into tissues of interest, there is no guarantee of delivery inside the target cells.
"It is hard, for example, for an RNAi molecule to cross the cellular membrane, and there are interstitial and cellular nucleases as an added challenge to deal with as well. If successful at penetrating the target cell, the next question is whether they will be able to activate the RNAi induced silencing complex. In addition, RNAi molecules can evoke an undesired immune response through multiple mechanisms."
To address these multifaceted problems, RXi developed a class of RNA molecules called self-delivering RNAi compounds, or sd-rxRNA™. "Our scientists focused on a strategy that combined particular oligo configurations and chemical modification patterns. These specially designed molecules help resolve many problems associated with therapeutic RNAi delivery," Dr. Samarsky added.
"They have enhanced nuclease resistance, remain active longer in the circulation, facilitate organ and tissue delivery, and stimulate spontaneous cellular uptake. Because we have chemically modified and optimized the content, they avoid immune responses and increase RNAi specificity."
Part of the design strategy was to reduce the size of the molecules. "Most conventional siRNA duplexes are between 19 and 25 base pairs. Ours contain duplexes of less than 15 base pairs. We found that reducing oligo content greatly enhances their ability to cross the cell membrane.
"The sd-rxRNAs seem to operate via a universal mechanism and are taken up by various cell types in vitro. It is very fast. Fluorescent molecules can be observed within minutes of administration. The next step for RXi was to assess and verify activity in multiple cell types in vivo. We have already demonstrated the uptake of the molecules by cells in skin, lung, and eye after local administrations, as well as by the liver upon systemic injections. We are continuing to examine applications."

NILES-If the Mahoning Valley Scrappers need a fresh arm out of the bullpen for their home opener Monday against the Jamestown Jammers, 8-year-old Heaven Doss of Columbiana will already be warmed up and ready to go.
Doss, a participant in Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Mahoning Valley will help kick off the 2013 season when she throws out the first pitch before Monday's 7:05 p.m. game at Eastwood Field.
"It's really exciting," Doss said. "I can't wait for the game to be here."
The experience should prove useful, as Doss is in her first year of organized softball and aspires to one day be a pitcher.
"There couldn't be a better way for Heaven to start pitching," said Theresa Stupka of Canfield who is Doss's 'Big Sister.' "She is very excited for Monday."
Heaven is the third of four siblings being raised by a single father, Brian Doss of Columbiana. She has been with Big Brothers/Big Sisters for a year, with the entire time spent paired with Stupka, a retired special education teacher with the Columbiana County ESC. Stupka and Doss usually spend one day a week together doing various activities such as swimming and trips to the zoo.
"It's been a great experience getting to know Heaven over the past year," Stupka said. "She's a terrific young girl. It's wonderful that she's getting this opportunity."
It's an opportunity that was made possible through a donation from the NECA-IBEW Electricians, a collaboration of union electricians and electrical contractors in the Mahoning Valley. The group originally received the first pitch opportunity through its sponsorship package of the opening night fireworks display, but elected to donate it to Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
"In the past we've had some of our guys throw out the first pitch, but the last couple of years we've wanted the chance for someone else to create a special memory," said Jim Burgham, business manager for IBEW. "This is something I hope she'll enjoy and remember. It's certainly better than having me roll the ball out there."
Once the donation was made, all "bigs" in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters were notified through e-mail. Stupka knew Doss was a big baseball fan and jumped at the chance.
"I knew this was right up Heaven's alley," Stupka said. "She's just started to get into sports and she's very enthusiastic about softball."
On Saturday, Doss prepared for her big night with the kind of afternoon that would be the envy of any young baseball fan. As part of the Scrappers media day, Doss and Stupka were invited onto the field to meet the team. For Doss, the experience was highlighted by a dugout tour and the chance to play catch with Mahoning Valley leftfielder Josh McAdams, a 2012 seventh round pick out of Calhoun High School in Calhoun, Georgia.
"It was a great way to spend the afternoon," McAdams said. "I have two younger sisters back home that I haven't seen for a while and she (Heaven) reminds me a lot of them."
For a half-hour, Doss and McAdams tossed the ball back and forth under the afternoon sun while discussing baseball, softball, and each other's favorite hobbies. McAdams also offered Doss - who was selected to the all-star team in her youth softball league - some pointers, and came away impressed with her arm.
"She has a little cannon," McAdams said. "We might be comfortable putting her on the mound Monday night."
Even if her bullpen services aren't needed, Doss feels more than ready for her big throw to start the season.
"I feel comfortable," Doss said with an affirmative nod. "I'm ready to throw."

Few pro wrestlers are revered more than Dory Funk Jr. and brother Terry Funk.
Both held the NWA world title when that belt was the most prestigious championship in professional wrestling.
They also claim the distinction of being the only brother duo to ever hold the coveted crown.
Sons of the late Dory Funk Sr., the brothers also captured numerous regional titles during distinguished careers that began in the '60s and continue today.
As respected as they are in this country, though, the Funks are perhaps held in even greater esteem in Japan.
With numerous trips to that country over the years, mostly appearing under the All Japan Pro Wrestling banner, the Funks returned this weekend to mark their first All Japan shot in 21 years.
It all happened in a span of a couple of weeks, says Dory Funk Jr., following a post he made on Twitter.
"It kind of shocked us. Two weeks ago we had no thoughts of what might happen."
Well versed in the Japanese language, Funk recently sent out a tweet testing the waters. He posed the question if it would be a good idea if the Funks returned to Japan.
"It was crazy the way it turned out," he says. "I just basically sent out a tweet to see what would happen."
The response, he says, was overwhelming.
"They just jumped all over it. All of a sudden, I had two thousands tweets asking us to come back," says Funk. "But that was the seed that got it started. It's absolutely crazy."
An executive with All Japan contacted the Funks and asked if they were really serious about making the trip.
Funk and his wife, Marti, were all in, but had to confer with Terry.
"We got in touch with Terry to see if he was in agreement. Terry was very happy and glad to be going back over there as a team. Everything just sort of snowballed," says Funk, 72, who is three years his brother's senior.
"We've been back over for several different companies. But this is the first trip back for All Japan (since 1991)."
The WWE Hall of Famers fought to a 20-minute draw with Masanobu Fuchi and Osamu Nishimura on an All Japan Pro show Sunday at Tokyo's Sumo Hall. The event marked the 41st anniversary of the storied organization that was formed by Shohei "Giant" Baba and the Momota brothers, the sons of the legendary Rikidozan.
Over the years, dating back more than four decades, the Funks have been among the biggest American headliners in the Land of the Rising Sun. Both have defended their NWA world title there and have competed in the country's most prestigious tag-team tournaments.
Dory Jr. and his dad went on their first tour of Japan in late 1969. As newly crowned NWA champion, Dory Jr. defended his title against the likes of Baba and Antonio Inoki, who would become legends in Japan and would later form the two major wrestling organizations in that country.
A year later, Dory would return to defend his NWA crown once again, but this time bringing brother Terry with him. The two engaged in a series of tag-team bouts against Baba and Inoki, setting the tone for a legendary run.
The Funks formed one of the first truly successful teams in Japan to come from America. Their accomplishments included an amazing three wins in All Japan's annual Real World Tag League tournament.
"My father was the first lead overseas booker for All Japan," says Funk. "That's when Baba started it (All Japan)."
There's a lot of memories," he adds. "Some of them crazy memories."
Over the years Dory Jr. trained a number of Japanese grapplers. Tommy "Jumbo" Tsuruta, a top amateur wrestler who competed in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, was the first, and he would become a top star in this country as well as his native Japan.
"Masa Fuchi came over with us to the Carolinas. A lot of memories and a lot of good friends and good fans," says Funk.
One of Funk's last matches with Tsuruta came two decades after training him.
It was in October 1992 at the 20th anniversary of Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling at Budokan Hall in Tokyo. Dory teamed with Baba and Stan Hansen against Tsuruta, Andre The Giant and Terry Gordy. Terry Funk was in his brother's corner.
"The match was exciting, especially with seven traditional stars of All Japan Pro Wrestling there at the same time," recalls Dory Jr. "I remember Terry had words with Andre on the floor and Baba trying to separate them for fear of it getting out of hand."
Tsuruta scored the winning pinfall by reversing a cradle on Funk.
"Twenty years later, the student beat the teacher. I walked over, shook his hand and said, 'Tommy Tsuruta, I am proud of you,'" says Funk.
"Of course back in the dressing room, I did tell him that if he would give it another go, this time maybe two out of three falls, I think I could take him," jokes Funk.
Tsuruta, only 49, died in the National Kidney Institute in the Philippines on May 13, 2000, from complications of a kidney transplant.
Dory has wrestled brother Terry only twice, and both times were in Japan.
The first time was in Fukuoka in the finals of a tournament in 1980. Dory Jr. came out on top when he pinned his brother with a rolling cradle at the 50-minute mark of the match. The second match occurred on April 30, 1981. That night, Dory was awarded the vacant NWA International heavyweight title, a belt he would hold numerous times over the years. His first title defense was against Terry, once again defeating his brother, this time in a 54-minute bout.
Over a period of 30 years, the brothers would defeat some of the top international teams during their many tours of Japan.
Those teams included Stan Hansen and Terry Gordy, The Road Warriors, Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka, Abdullah The Butcher and The Sheik, Larry Hennig and Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood, Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, Giant Baba and Tiger Mask, Mil Mascaras and Dos Caras, Gordy and Steve Williams, Baba and Jumbo Tsuruta, Hansen and Brody, The Sheik and Great Mephisto, Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu, Mark Lewin and The Sheik, Hansen and Ted DiBiase, Joe and Dean Malenko, Mitsuharu Misawa and Toshiaki Kawada, and Kenta Kobashi and Johnny Ace.
Their last match as a team in Japan was in 1999 for Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling. They defeated Yoshinari Sasaki and Naohiko Yamazaki.
Dory Funk Sr., a top wrestler and promoter in the Amarillo territory who trained both his sons, died at the age of 54 of a heart attack in 1973.
Dory Funk Jr. continues to train wrestlers at The Funking Conservatory in Ocala, Fla. Funk, whose school is the official American training center for All Japan Pro Wrestling, began training wrestlers in Texas back in the '70s.
"Bobby Backlund came in when he was very young. Then there was Jumbo Tsuruta. But it started with Teddy DiBiase and Terry Funk. Terry was difficult to train," jokes Funk.

This Sunday at 8 p.m., famed aerialist Nik Wallenda will attempt to cross the Grand Canyon on a tightrope without a net or a harness, a stunt which will be broadcast live on the Discovery Channel.
Tim Boyles, an Altoona native, will be there, capturing official photographs of the event.
Tim, 53, a 1977 graduate of Altoona Area High School who now works as a photographer in Seminole, Fla., was hired by Wallenda as his personal photographer for his adventure. Tim is also bringing his father, Marvin, 78, a retired Ward Trucking driver who has lived in Altoona all of his life.

Tim Boyles of Seminole, Fla., and his father, Marvin, of Altoona, will be part of a select group at the stunt site.
A seventh-generation member of the famous Flying Wallendas, Nik Wallenda, 34, - who also recently crossed Niagara Falls on a tightrope - will walk a quarter of a mile across the canyon at a height of approximately 1,500 feet. The walk should last 20 to 30 minutes.
According to Tim, Wallenda's stunt will be performed in a very secluded area of the Grand Canyon, a section of Navajo Nations land. There will be no general public on site to view the event, only Wallenda's special guests, crew and production teams, making the Boyles part of a very select group.
"I think it's going to be fantastic," Marvin said. "I've been to the Grand Canyon, but I've never seen where he's going to be."
Tim first met Wallenda while shooting portraits of the famed daredevil for Getty Images in January. After shooting more photos of the stuntman a few weeks later, Wallenda asked Tim to photograph his attempt over the canyon.
"Of course, I said yes," Tim said.
Tim met Wallenda on site Thursday to also photograph preparations and training. Marvin joined his son there on Friday.
"I knew this would be an event he would never forget," Tim said. "It's something I wanted very badly to share with him."
According to Tim, Wallenda was "thrilled" to have Marvin on site.
"I have an idea Nik and my father will get along really well," Tim said. "Dad is such a hard worker. I told Nik that he was free to put Dad to work, and I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see Dad become part of the crew.
"I was really excited to be doing this shoot as soon as I got it, but having my father there with me makes it 100 times more special."
Marvin, who has never seen any of Wallenda's stunts before, is excited to witness it with his son.
"It's pretty amazing," Marvin said. "It will be exciting to see that walk. Not many fathers get to do that - or anything close to it."
Tim is "incredibly honored" to shoot this historic stunt.
"[Wallenda is] an incredibly kind, friendly, humble, talented man," Tim said.

The BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival seems to have bacon n eggs on the brain this year.
If you go
WHAT: 2013 BB&T Charleston Wine + Food FestivalWHEN: Feb. 28-March 3WHERE: Culinary Village at Marion Square and off-site events all over Charleston areaEVENTS, TICKETS: charlestonwineand food.com
The eighth edition of the festival, set for Feb. 28-March 3, has two new breakfast meals on its calendar, at The Grocery and Two Boroughs Larder. That Saturdays headliner event also is inspired by a.m. fare a Waffle House Smackdown, with chefs showing off their short-order skills.
Then there is the bacon thing. There will be plenty of that and more pork parts for lovers of swine, with three events where people can, well, pig out on pig.
One is a new, sit-down Barbecue Coronation Supper at Jim N Nicks involving, yes, a crown and scepter. Another is the annual barbecue finale, now renamed Rigs, Pigs + Swigs and relocated to the Mount Pleasant Waterfront Memorial Park.
And at noon March 1, Lowndes Grove Plantation will open as This Little Piggy: Pop-Up Market. Six guest chefs from across the country will be turning various cuts of the pig into creative dishes while a live demo shows the breaking down of the whole animal, like Cypress chef Craig Deihl did in 2012 at the Culinary Village in Marion Square.
That got such a great reception, explains festival Communications Director Ashley Zink. People were fascinated by it.
Artisan pork products also will be for sale in a mini market at the Pop-Up event.
While the Waffle House Smackdown, which was years in the making, Zink says, is sold out, several other events are not. Nevertheless, with only five weeks in the homestretch, remaining tickets soon will be gobbled up if past years are any indication.
Among other attractions with tickets still available are a few of the Perfectly Paired Dinners, better known as dine-arounds, as well as a couple of the craft beer dinners and the Big Bottles Tasting + Auction.
One big ticket thats usually snapped up early but is still around is the tony, $1,000-a-plate Food +Wine With a View held in a private penthouse overlooking the lower peninsula. For the first time, festival organizers decided on a tribute dinner and picked renowned Alabama chef and restaurateur Frank Stitt as the honoree. Local chefs Mike Lata and Sean Brock will do the honors, joined by a bevy of other Southern toques hand-picked by Stitt. Only 60 tickets are offered to the event.
The festival After Hours party at the Bus Shed also has a new theme this year, Around the World. Food, drink and decor will span the globe, Zink says. That should be very fun, very different from any other event.
Another fresh format is the pairing of local and national authors with winemakers in private home receptions. Each group had their own event in the past, but now will join forces as At Home With Celebrity Tastemakers and will be circulating between two historic downtown homes.
The popular Culinary Village at Marion Square remains available all weekend long, as of today. Admission is $100 on Saturday and $85 on Friday and Sunday. Locals get a break on Sunday at a price of $70.
Zink says the festival is shooting for a better balance of food and beverages in the Grand Tasting tents based on patron feedback in the past.
Weve definitely been very conscious about actively pursuing food vendors. Weve also tried to involve local restaurants more, and local chefs. ... The restaurants (are) a work in progress, just because of the sheer number of people coming through. It can be kind of daunting.
One new face in the village, that of the Southern Foodways Alliance, will have its own tent and culinary hub. The alliance, part of the University of Mississippi and based out of Oxford, studies, documents and celebrates food cultures of the South.
During the festival, its tent is intended to serve as a front porch kind of place for food conversation and socializing. The SFA also will be showing short clips throughout the weekend in a Pot Likker Film Festival.
A lot of the people in the films are actually coming to the festival, Zink says. So you can watch Alan Benton talk about country ham in the film, and then hell do a little discussion up on stage afterward.
Charlestons own Lee Brothers, Matt and Ted, are teaming up with James Beard awarding-winning chefs for The Charleston Dinner that will celebrate the foods of early spring. Not surprisingly, it was a quick sellout.
Zink says the dinner will be held in a private home, an arrangement that came about in an unusual but very-Charleston way. Seems the Lee Brothers, dressed in suits, were skateboarding down Legare Street when a homeowner came out and said, I know you. That sparked an instant friendship that led to the location of the dinner.
Though the dinner is no longer available, fans will be able to get their hands on the brothers latest book, The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen, during its launch at the festival.
Zink says festival ticket sales at this point are about the same as last year. Were pretty much right on track.
Last years festival drew about 22,000 people, Zink says. About 62 percent of those were locals and 38 percent from out of town.
But year No. 7 in 2012 didnt turn out so lucky for the festival weather-wise, with a deluge of rain on Saturday that kept attendance down, especially walk-ups to the Culinary Village. The weather also required implementation of a rain plan extra tents and the like that drove costs up.
We hope that kind of rain cant happen two years in a row, Zink says. We all bought rain jackets, so we think that since were prepared, it wont happen.

9th hole at Murphy Creek... cut the corner over the canyon, bunkers await. Hit in bunker and have to hit to a green that's protected by a another bunker in front of the shallow green, backed by a ravine.

In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes.
"They're all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts," Weitz tells PEOPLE. "They're opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can't really see into them. There's something terribly off-putting about it."
British actor Michael Sheen (The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) have been "alive" for thousands of years, Weitz says he "deliberately" gave them a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.

Perhaps most lethal of all the Volturi is Jane (Dakota Fanning), an angelic-looking vampire who inflicts torture on her victims. "She is very strange and very spooky in this movie," says Weitz. "I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for once."
