Stroll Along San Antonio's Iconic River Walk
A Beckmann Inn and Carriage House • San Antonio, TX
Escape Kit

The Destination
True to the Mexican half of its Tex-Mex roots, San Antonio is not unlike a piñata—chock full of surprises and exploding with excitement. History buffs, of course, will not want to forget the Alamo, but more contemporary travelers will find a host of modern attractions along the city's meandering River Walk—a tree-lined waterfront playground where cafés and clubs virtually spill over the banks. Art galleries and fusion restaurants are in no short supply, and the bustling open-air mercado at Market Square offers everything from hand-crafted turquoise jewelry and Western wear to the choicest local produce.
The Digs
A Beckmann Inn and Carriage House, set just steps from the river in the heart of this historic district, is just one of the neighborhood's many relics from those halcyon days. When you step onto the wraparound porch and into the inn, you'll be stepping into a gift—literally. This converted 1886 home was originally a wedding present for a flour baron's daughter. Each of five restored guest rooms features elegant furnishings reminiscent of the Victorian era, like large wooden armoires and stately bed frames.
The Diversions
• Soak up the Venetian canal-like setting of the River Walk's restaurants and shops
• Tour the city by trolley through the King William Historic District
• Brush up on your history at the city's most infamous site: The Alamo
• Shop the vibrant El Mercado, a funky Mexican marketplace
• Marvel at the grandeur of San Fernando Cathedral
"This 1886 Victorian with a Greek influence is filled with antiques, Oriental carpets, and floral prints. The two-course breakfast, served on china and crystal, is superb. The inn is convenient to all the River Walk attractions."-- Read Fodor's Review of A Beckman Inn & Carriage House
"This was a lovely experience. I would recommend this B&B to anyone going to San Antonio. Great location, beautiful part of the city, close to Riverwalk and Downtown... Glad we found this on LivingSocial."-- LivingSocial Member

With commodities prices double and even triple average due to drought-induced shortages, let's pick a long-overdue fight by pressuring the agricultural industry to share the pain of restoring the nation's waters. The rest of us are tapped out.
Cities represent most of the population but little of the problem. Farms represent a tiny population but most of the problem. At StormCon, the annual gathering of stormwater regulators, managers, and vendors, EPA staffers made it pretty clear there won't be much, if any, federal revolving-loan funding specifically for stormwater control. Grant levels are laughable: $950,000 (total) recently went to 17 green infrastructure projects in 16 states. Meanwhile, the largest and most dangerous polluter remains virtually unregulated. (Visit here for the most recent example.)
It's unclear whether farms have been exempt since the Clean Water Act in 1972 or the law was amended to exclude them. Either way, until the industry is made accountable for the consequences of fundamentally unsustainable practices — draining the nation's largest aquifer in less than 50 years (visit here), creating markets to offload excess product (ethanol, concentrated animal feeding operations), jacking up soil with nitrogen instead of letting land lie fallow — the rest of us will continue to pay the price. Literally. Doesn't seem fair.
Farmers would disagree, especially now when all operations are suffering and some are being wiped out. But these are extremely unusual conditions; farmers know their livelihood depends on a single element over which they have absolutely no control: the weather. (That's why my grandmother advised my mom not to marry a farmer.) Also, water shortages don't just affect farms; they affect entire cities. I'd have more sympathy if I didn't come from a farming background; watched diversified "family farms" evolve into huge, single-product conglomerates as children sell their parents' land; and know how much federal policy already supports agriculture.
I think we're going to continue doing so for a long time to come. The system's too entrenched. Some farmers who voluntarily changed practices have gone broke, providing a cautionary tale for neighbors who might have been persuaded to experiment. Water quality trading is just passing the buck. States that regulate farming are neutered by unrealistic cost-sharing requirements and other designed-to-fail components engineered by the agricultural lobby. (I'm told Wisconsin is an example; visit here).
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why this particular industry doesn't have to pitch in more significantly to improve water quality?

Formatting Guidelines
The formatting and layout of an article are key factors in its usability. Articles must not only be easy to read and follow in a linear manner, but they must also be easy to reference in a non-linear manner. To this end, we recommend the following format guidelines. While you do not have to adhere to them strictly, ignoring them altogether can possibly lead to votes of denial if your choice of formatting obstructs the article's readability. There are plenty of formatting tools to help you lay out your articles properly, below we go over some of the more common ones and how they should be properly used.
Main Heading

Shown above are the four ways to break down your article into sections, below each is the format tag that creates the section heading. If your article requires more than three sub headings we suggest you back up and review your approach. Ideally you should not need to break down a secion any futher then the second sub heading. All headings and sub headings reside on a line by themselves, with spacing above and below as shown above. The only time you should not use a heading is to label the first paragraph as "Introduction". Sections are important not only to progress the reader from one concept to the next but to make it easy for the reader to find an area of interest when returning for reference.
Within paragraphs, formatting should be used as well where neccessary. Bold words and sentences stand out to the reader and should be used to highlight important terms and areas that would be useful for anyone skimming the text or returning for reference. Less subtle Italics can be used to lend emphasis to words and sentences imporatant for those reading through the text. The use of ALL CAPS to lend importance to words or sentences is highly discouraged. Similarly, although Underline is available we recommend that its use is limited to avoid confusion with hyperlinked text. If you are using any code keywords or function names within a paragraph you can use the Teletype font face to help distinguish these words and phrases.
.. you can use the [tt]Teletype font face[/tt] to help distinguish these words and phrases
Sometimes you have large sections of text you would like to stand out from the rest of the article. In this case it is usually not a good idea to bold or italicize the entire section. Instead, you should use the Blockquote or Note formatting to create a visible break in the article. These sections are commonly used for quotes or side notes relevant to the main body of the article.
This is an example of a blockquote

[note]This is an important note![/note]
Tables are allowed to be included within articles, however they should not be used to actually lay out the article itself. Tables should instead be used as a way to present any data or information the reader needs.
We recommend that article images be Centered rather than left-aligned, and any captions be included directly below the images. Captions can be italicized but should not be bolded. Images that are referenced in the text should include an identifier in the caption, such as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.
Horizontal lines are available as well, however their use is not reccommended. Headers should suffice in defining sections of your article for almost all purposes.
When referencing within the main body of the article using reference numbers, they should appear in brackets such as [1], [2], etc. These reference numbers should all point to a reference at the end of the article. You do have the option of using the "name" property of hyperlinks to anchor your reference numbers to the reference section at the end of the article if you wish. All references to online media must have a valid hyperlink. Alternatively, you may choose to reference online media directly within the article using hyperlinked text.
Writing Topical Articles
This type of content will focus around specific techniques, methodologies, languages, fields of game development, etc. Examples include designing levels for First-Person Shooters, working with new DirectX features, learning the ins and outs of a specific API, exploring the basics of game design, managing teams with Scrum, etc. A focused topic is essential for this type of content, should be conveyed immediately and delivered concisely. Writing "as you would speak" is excellent for drafting up these articles however it is suggested you take a few editing passes to consilidate your writing down to the core focus of the article.
If you don't really have a good idea yet what you'd like to write about, or have an idea what area you are interested in but don't have a good topic, check out our articles idea forum to see if any of the suggestions help inspire you.
Who are you writing for?
The majority of visitors to GameDev.net are looking to gain experience and knowledge from professionals and to learn new techniques and methods to develop games on all platforms. We strongly support both the beginners and hobbyists looking to take part in the industry and the active professionals looking to improve their craft. When considering an article to submit, keep in mind these various audiences and make sure you choose the one(s) you wish to target before you begin to write. Some broad examples are:
These people are just beginning to build an interest in game development and are looking for entry-level guidance on how to get started. They have usually played games, and they might have heard some disconnected fragments about how development works, but they're generally technically uninformed. Try and make sure that any technical terms you use are sufficiently explained, and don't try to cram too much information into too small a space.
These are people who have a decent working knowledge of most parts of game development. They've made some games, and might be headed towards pulling together something for a shareware release – or they might be junior programmers in the industry. These folks are usually most interested in information that helps to solidify and consolidate their understanding of things, maybe showing them new ways of doing common things or case studies of other projects. They're also interested in content that introduces them to topics they don't really know about, without treating them like a complete beginner.
These are people who have a solid grounding in a particular area, are comfortable reading whitepapers and playing with cutting-edge stuff; they're usually employed in their field or pursue it very actively as a hobby. These are the people you can present your fantastic new shadowing method or impressive approach to team-based AI to. But take care: these are people who know their stuff and will notice if something isn't quite right, so make sure you've checked everything out, and include full references to support your ideas.
General Tips
Regardless of who you are writing for, here are several things we recommend you take into consideration:
- References should be included wherever possible, either as in-line links in the text or as a bibliography at the end. A "further reading" section is suggested as well when possible
- If you are planning to write a series of articles, know that the majority of article series do not get finished. We highly suggest writing all the articles in a series, and keeping the series under 5 parts, prior to publishing. Another method is to make the articles into a "loose" series that follow a common theme or topic and do not depend tightly on each other. Either way, make sure your series includes links to all parts within the article
- Ideally, by the time you submit your article you should have researched all the information you needed, but don't be afraid to admit that you don't know something. It's better to do that than to misinform people, especially when someone who does know it calls you out
- Compilable code is not necessarily the best way to demonstrate a concept, even when commented. Consider whether pseudocode would be clearer. That said, if you're going to include a downloadable code package to accompany the article, make sure it compiles
- Real-world examples are great. Use as much of your own experience as possible but be mindful of revealing any confidential information in the process
Structuring Your Article
Below are the main sections all articles should contain, when necessary, to create work that will be readable and usable by the community.
You should begin with a paragraph or few that defines the topic of the article and includes any background information relevant to techniques or theory that will be discussed within the article. Make sure the reader also gets a clear understanding of the level of proficiency required to be able to understand and use the article. Unless you choose to precede this section with another, there is no need to actually title this section as "Introduction", as it is the top of the article and needs no separation from the rest of the body.
Main Article Body
Here is where you begin with named sections and delve fully into the main topic of your article. All authors have different preferences in how to structure the main body of their article, but we do ask that you try to adhere to the previously-covered guidelines above as much as possible to ensure good formatting that will pass through the initial review stage.
Summarizing your article, like the introduction, can take a single paragraph or several depending on the depth of the topic under discussion. The conclusion serves primarily to identify key points from within the article that the user should remember for later reference. You've just spent 5 pages explaining a technique to someone but where in those thousands of words are the "gotchas" or precise data points people need most to make it all work?
Further Reading
If you have only scratched the surface of a broad topic, or only provided an introduction to an advanced technique, you may use this area to direct readers onwards to collect further knowledge on the subject you just covered. This would include books, magazines, and other online articles.
If you reference something anywhere in your article using a reference number, this section will contain the full reference information related to those numbers. It is important to reference as much as possible in your article, regardless of how much you feel readers should be able to trust anything you tell them. Not only do references back up your words, but they can also save you the trouble of having to explain things to the reader yourself.
About the Author
This is a section many like to place at the end of their articles to give background on their expertise to let readers recognize their ability to cover the topic of the article. Please, do not write a full bio. A paragraph at most will give people an idea of your qualifications related to the subject matter. We actually recommend that you leave out this section entirely and instead keep the About Me section of your user profile updated with all of your qualifications. This will save you time from having to re-write this section multiple times or go back to edit it if anything changes.
Article Changelog
You may choose to keep readers informed of changes made to the article over time, which can include code corrections, new/removed material, and major corrections in text.
Writing Reviews
Before writing a review of a software or hardware product you should ask youreself if you are qualified to do so. First and foremost for an unbiased review you should have no relationship, either directly or indirectly, professional or otherwise, with the product in question. Second, you should be a user of that product yourself, not giving a second-hand report based on what you have seen or heard about the product. Third, you should be able to give a balanced account of the product's performance - all bad products have some good points and all good products have some bad ones. A one-sided love/hate affair will not fully benefit readers of the review.
Remember that the purpose of the review is not to inform people on what a product does in general - the marketing team of the product has that job. As a user of the product your job is to inform others on where the product falls short and where it shines under actual usage according to your time spent with the product. If you see a review already exists for the product, make sure the review covers a similar style of use to yours before you decide not to write an additional one.
Instead of writing a review to directly counter a previous one or add to an exisiting problem highlighted, please comment on the review in question.
Structuring Your Review
Below are the main sections all reviews should contain to create work that will be readable and usable by the community.
Use the opening of the review to detail your use of the product. If it is software, what system are you running it on? If it is hardware, what environment is it being used in? If it is a book, did you just read it casually or are you using it actively to refine your latest engine design? This is important in giving the reader the proper context for the rest of the review. As with topical articles, there is no reason to actually title this section as "Introduction" unless it is preceded by another for some reason.
Main Review Body
Here is where you detail any issues you have experienced while using the product and any benefits you have gotten from using the product. How you decide to do this is up to you. You can create two main Good and Bad sections and sub-section them into individual issues, or you can simply look at certain aspects of the product one at a time and discuss the good/bad side of each. The important thing is that you do not simply say "product X has a bad interface" without going into details - images and use cases - that explain to the reader why the interface is bad. If the reader happens to be related to the product, maybe the next version will solve some of your problems.
Your review summary should state how you felt the product has performed overall according to the usage details you provided in the opening paragraph(s) of the review. If there are any general statements to be made on the improvement of the product, they can be made here also. At the end of the conclusion there should be a list of Good/Bad product qualities, each list item being 1-2 sentences long. While you can use this to include minor good/bad qualities that didn't warrant extended commentary in the main review body, the primary purpose of this Good/Bad list is to reference everything you covered in the main review body. Readers skimming your review can use this list to determine if there are any issues with the product they would like to go back and read more about.
About the Author
We ask that you follow the same advice given in the structure section for [alink=topical">topical articles.
Writing How-To Guides
A how-to guide is our term for an article that is comprised of steps leading towards a specific goal. "How To Create a Window with DirectX 11" or "How To Texture a Model in Blender" are both basic examples of how-to topics, which can focus on a tool, API, language, engine, etc. Each section should be a well-defined and successive step towards achieving the goal specified in the title.
These guides are meant to be read by users of the software/hardware the guide is focused on and are not meant to be instructional or informational outside of their defined topic. For example, a guide on advanced modeling techniques in Blender should not have to touch on any basic use of the interface. Use the opening section of the guide to inform the user what skill level is required and provide links to any material the user can read prior to using the guide if needed.
Before you decide to write your how-to guide do some research and make sure similar resources do not already exist, so that you may instead use your time to focus on another topic. Most of a product's basic and intermediate functions are already covered well within the product's own help documentation, so try to focus on more advanced areas that don't see as much attention.
Structuring Your Guide
The structure of a how-to guide is similar to that given for [alink=topical">topical articles, the only difference being that the main article body will be a lot more progressive as you advance the reader from one step to the next. You may choose to simply make each main section a step, or define a section as a Major Step and have Minor-Step sub-sections to break down complex actions. All other article sections should be included as well where neccessary.

Great news: Federally-permitted lightbulbs a cancer risk
posted at 1:01 pm on January 4, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Legislate in haste … repent at leisure. In their haste to rid Americans of the unconscionable plague of perfectly safe if somewhat inefficient incandescent lighting, politicians in Washington have forced us to adopt more expensive technology in its place. Compact flourescent lighting (CFLs) are already known to be a considerable disposal risk, thanks to the mercury used in them. A new study reported earlier this week by Miami's CBS affiliate warns of an operational risk as well — ultraviolet radiation that can cause skin cancers and even acute burns (via Katie Pavlich):
Every time you turn on the lights, you may be putting yourself at risk, according to a disturbing new study.
Energy efficient bulbs are eco-friendly and can save you big bucks, but experts say that some could also have a dark side.
Actually, they're not all that eco-friendly, as even the government acknowledges. The EPA wants to argue that the release of mercury from CFLs in disposal is less than that released from the burning of the amount of coal one saves by using them. That may well be true overall, but not if one breaks in your house. At that point, you need to conduct an hours-long cleanup — and even if you want to dispose of an unbroken CFL, it takes special disposal in most jurisdictions due to the eco-unfriendly nature of CFLs.
And now, it takes special instructions to use them, too:
Money saving, compact fluorescent light bulbs emit high levels of ultra violet radiation, according to a new study. Research at Long Island's Stony Brook found that the bulbs emit rays so strong that they can actually burn skin and skin cells.
"The results were that you could actually initiate cell death," said Marcia Simon, a Professor of Dermatology.
Exposure to the bulbs could lead to premature aging and skin cancer, according to doctors.
"It can also cause skin cancer in the deadliest for, and that's melanoma," said Dr. Rebecca Tung.
Well, these are just the defective CFLs, right? The outsides are coated to block UV radiation. And that's true, but …
In every bulb that researchers tested they found that the protective coating around the light creating 'phosphor' was cracked, allowing dangerous ultraviolet rays to escape.
So what can you do? Stay away from them:
Stony Brook researches advised that customers exercise caution and stay two feet away from the bulbs at all times, while storing them in an overhead fixture or lamp.
Gee … maybe Congress should have thought to check this out before regulating incandescents out of existence.

Andy and Linda Watkins know working with mates can be risky. But their decision to commission Alan's rugby mate to build this large home on a scenic lifestyle block paid off, creating a strikingly detailed home that won a building award.
Linda's mother Claire Matusich had the 1999 home designed so her daughter and son-in-law could live with her, but has been in a rest home for the past five years.
Claire asked architectural designer Ross Dustin and Andy's old rugby cohort, builder Alan Wallace, to create a polished contemporary two-storey home, which was completed in 1999. Andy says: "Alan's a perfectionist and couldn't have done a better job here. Alan and Ross worked well together and went on to do a number of homes together."
The house blends Hinuera stone, vertical cedar, plaster and abundant glass in its exterior, a striking look that in 2000 won it the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Auckland Award for the over-$450,000 dwelling category.
Its 5.29ha of land is quiet and privately located a short drive from Kumeu township, with wide rural outlooks over mature grounds and beyond. The couple's cat Maggie-May frolics in this serene setting, visited by birdlife including pheasants, wood pigeon and tui. Yet her owners say the new motorway extension makes short work of the drive into central Auckland, where they both work in the banking industry.
Intercom gates secure the main home, nestled away from the road after a turnoff to the property's large implement shed. Form and function combine within the geometric home set in carefully nurtured grounds containing a bore, cattle yards, and six fenced paddocks that may suit horse-lovers.
The driveway loops around a curved garden fronting the 341sq m, four-bedroom home, which has triple-car garaging.
A long overhang over the entranceway is enticing, set off by a fishpond. Inside, the ceiling soars above in a double-height atrium stepping up to the main living level.
Tongue-and-groove rimu and Alti composite timber-aluminium joinery are premium features. Glass blocks subtly shed additional light on the already light-filled interior.
Andy says: "I think the home benefited from quite an open brief. All Claire wanted were wide corridors, curves and a driveway you could turn around in."
The main living, dining and kitchen area is floored in Italian tiles, with underfloor heating. Linda says: "The sun just flows in all around here."
Today Alan's wearing shorts and adds, "I can easily be dressed like this in the middle of winter."
The living space has bifold doors opening to outdoor entertaining areas and a prettily planted, solar-heated pool.
Linda says the home has been great for entertaining, with guests using the patios, irrigated gardens, big lawns and with children loving the pool.
Part of the downstairs living area is double-height, complementing the curves of the upstairs landing, above the well thought-out kitchen with its granite bench.
A separate formal lounge is a favourite winter haunt, warmed by a gas fire. A downstairs master wing with walk-in wardrobe and en suite with bath has a separate toilet. There's a cache of under-stair storage for the roomy office, which is bolstered by expansive cupboards in the sizeable neighbouring laundry.
Alan and Linda love the big bedroom upstairs with walk-in wardrobe and deck, for its views of the countryside. This level has two further bedrooms, a striking marble bathroom and a landing living space.
The family has decided it's the right time to realise Claire's investment in the property and it's now waiting for new owners.

There are a few dates every year that make-up artists everywhere anticipate.
For Pre-Fall, Philo hasn't completely abandoned the rounded cuts, nor the baggy fits, and as evidenced by a tapered color-blocked trouser, champagne in the front, matte white on the back, she obviously isn't ready to forsake what's been making her loyal following covetous and hungry for the hot-again brand since taking over the helm in 2010.
With Tisci's help, Couture has its bite back, and pre-fall–usually a collection of basics used by retailers to freshen up the floor–is now a veritable space for new, interesting and bold design.
A fashion spread by Teck Lim
Yan Nascimbene was raised in France and Italy. After working as a photographer in a Paris fashion studio, he studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York and at the University of California at Davis.

Legends, statements, and stars. At least that's what Roberto Cavalli envisioned for his spring 2012 campaign, featuring iconic faces Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, Kristen McMenamy and Daphne Groeneveld.
Photographed by Alasdair McLellan in Hong Kong under the creative direction of Giorgio Armani, the campaign features models Irina Kulikova, Kendra Spears, Tao Okamoto, Wang Xiao and Florian Van Bael.
Louis Vuitton is releasing it's first fragrance in over 20 years
What you have to love most about Alber Elbaz's time at Lanvin, is its evident selflessness. The design is always about improving "the house" and hardly ever about personal branding or celebrity. It's refreshing to say the least.
In 1929, art historian Paul J. Sachs presented George Grosz's Anna Peter (1926–27) to the newly founded Museum of Modern Art, making it the first drawing to enter the collection.
Reinstalled to continue the historical sequence found on MoMA's fifth (1880–1940) and fourth (1940–1980) floors, the galleries on the second floor will begin with art of the early 1980s and extend to the present moment, interweaving works in all mediums.
For Pre-Fall, Alexander Wang went for something a bit less gimmick-laden than his Spring BMX biker outing with a line-up deeply locked in what can be termed a 'Dark Primness'.
Photographer Karina Lidia shoots this fashion editorial titled Fair Play. Styled by Kieran Partise, these images depict a sultry, provocative, "behind closed doors" look at a privileged lifestyle.
We caught up with the style icon at Barney's, where over the most wholesome of breakfasts, sweet berries and a heavenly combination of yogurt and oatmeal — foods Doonan describes as decidedly "gay" as opposed to typically "straight" fare like fried bacon and eggs — he read selections from his book and fielded questions.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte are on a roll. After a serene spring 2012 collection inspired by Van Gogh's sunflower oils, a spot designing costumes for 2011's psychological thriller Black Swan, and a successful collaboration with international hip boutique Opening Ceremony, the Mulleavy sisters are busier than ever.
There's always a ton of buzz around Target's designer capsule collections and the hype is definitely well deserved.

Stomp Tickets
Stomp is a unique type of dance show in which group of dancers performs unconventional dance moves and physical dance moves using non-traditional musical instruments. Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell, two creators of the show first start presented it on small scale in 1981 and after 10 years of collaboration, Stomp made its first theatrical debut at London's Bloomsbury Theatre in 1991 and its American debut at Orpheum Theatre in New York in 1994.
Stomp made its Las Vegas debut in 2007 at a $28 million theater specifically build for the production.
Stomp is known for its artistic nature and heavy music, nontraditional music objects, high energy performances and loud sounds are signature of the of dance show. The dance moves are performed according to the music sounds produced by objects.
Stomp dancing takes its audience to a new level of surprise when they see how performers make use of everyday objects like kitchen sink, sand, water, drumsticks, bananas, apples and matches. They also see different objects that we ignore in daily life being used as musical instruments including a soft shoe with broomsticks, buckets, play cards, spoon, plates, keys and other objects from your daily garbage. In simple words they make use of any object that produces sound.
Stomp dance show typically starts with single performer with an unexpected music tool and starts the music while others follow him a pair of two or three on a two level hung scaffolding high above the stage with road signs and automobile parts on it.
Main Cast
The number of performers varies in different stomp productions; the original UK cast was of 8 members while on its website Stomp New York production has 13 members and its touring cast is of 10 performers.
Stomp won many awards including Olivier Award, Drama Desk Award and films on Stomp created by its two creators won many awards in 2004.
Stomp dance show is a perfect blend of percussion instruments, amazing dance moves and on stage comedy. It's an innovative show where even sound produced by unknown music objects make music soft and light.

:jet pack I've decided I'm gonna make a jet pack. What suit of mandalorian armor is complete without a jet pack? I have heard of two ways to make one. Should I go with the wooden frame, or the PVC pipes?
I also have a budget. I have to use money from dear old dad who isn't too keen on me making Mandalorian Armor. He doesn't even know what Mandalorians are.
Anyway, which woud be cheaper and easier? The wooden frame, or the PVC. I was thinking the PVC but I'm just an amateur. I don't really know what I'm doing but I want to try.
Thanks for any help given. :jet pack

Share your stories about how the economy has affected your lives
Original post made by doglover, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Apr 15, 2009
But when I talk to friends and neighbors, everyone is very nervous about what the future holds, and most of them have already experienced a drop in income either through pay cuts or job loss.
They're worried about rising prices and rising taxes. They're trying to find ways to cut their household expenses.
A lot of people don't want to admit that their financial situation is not what it was a year ago, or even six months ago.
Many seem relieved when I tell them that our household income has been cut substantially due to a pay cut....not because they're happy that I have less now than I did, but because it frees them to be honest about their own situation. They don't have to pretend all is well, and it eases their minds to talk to others in the same situation.
So I thought maybe we could all share our stories here - get a bit of a release, and maybe realize we're not alone in worrying. Also, we might be able to share some tips on how we're cutting back.
My tip - I still enjoy going out to dinner and supporting Pleasanton businesses, but I use restaurant coupons!
a resident of Downtown
on Apr 15, 2009 at 11:34 am
Yep, everyone here is pretty well-off...that's why:
1)The Walmart lot is so full
2)The Costco lot is so full
3)The Stoneridge lot is half empty
4)Main St. keeps losing businesses
5)So many people are against the Parcel Tax.
My monthly income has dropped by a little over $1200.00 a month this year compared to last year and:
1)My properety taxes went up even though my property value dropped.
2)My medical insurance went up even though I haven't even had a cold
since boot camp (40yrs ago).
3)They're going to raise the garbage rates
4)They want a Parcel Tax
5)I'm sure Comcast, PG&E, AT&T, and the water folks won't be far
Yep, no economic downturn in this upscale town.

Coupons to go out to dinner...you are rich.

Hi Joe,
Well, don't get too excited about my restaurant coupons - they're for pizza places and sandwich shops. The sit down and be waited on restaurants are still beyond my budget!
I know I'm lucky to be able to get the occasional take out!
Of course, as taxes increase, it probably won't be long before the occasional treat will also have to go.
The store parking lots probably are a lot less full, but I avoid going to the stores because one way to save money is to only shop when it's necessary.
Noticed your comment about the parcel tax. You might be interesed in this website:

You forgot that the sales tax went up and that CA teachers want to tack on another penny (WOW almost 11 cents). DMV tags went up, summer is coming and you know the price of gas is sure to rise,and all bank/savings interest rates have dropped on all deposits/CDs.
Ihtink we will be able to spend our way out of this recession.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Apr 15, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Joe and others: Yes, sales tax, water, garbage and other expenses are going up. We can't change that. Gas will go up and down some. What we can do is look for places in our monthly budget that we can change. And take advantage of any opportunities to make a little extra money. What we are doing: clean the house yourself, wash the car, do the yardwork. Stop paying for services. Also use coupons for groceries and going out to eat. Stop going to movies, rent them for $1 from Redbox. Set a budget for new clothes or shoes. Adults can supplement their wardrobe with changes in only a few items.
With some thought about where we spend it, we can cut our expenses. But it takes effort and teamwork to make it happen. And don't forget to help your community, either with volunteer work or donations to food banks and community health centers!

Sorry "res" I just had to do that to somebody. It's not always the landlords fault. It's just a tragedy.

Our household is fortunate that income hasn't changed.But output has changed.
The money we set aside to help (only help a little) with college expenses is down 40%. Now that portion will need to come from our household budget.
Expenses are increasing.
We will probably have to give more to our school programs to help out with school supplies and those little extras that are cut from the budget.
We are giving more to friends, families, and local charities that are having a tougher time than us.
We are all paying 1% more on almost everything thanks to the sales tax increases.
This is a good read (check it out for free at the library) about why people keep up different appearances than their true financial situation:
Green With Envy: A Whole New Way to Look at Financial (Un)Happiness
From Publishers Weekly
Freelance journalist Boss performs a real service by putting some of America's financial hangups on trial, charging that "the money taboo"—our good-manners reluctance to discuss what we earn and spend—is "destructive nonsense" that leads to debt and despair. Boss argues that envy ("the only vice warned against in both the Ten Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins") can be good for the economy, but our drive to keep up with our neighbors can be unhealthy. In five case studies, she shows the consequences of maintaining appearances when we can't afford it; the highlight is a chapter in which Boss lives a fantasy by interrogating her seemingly well-off next-door neighbors and getting the real scoop on their savings, income and credit card bills. The scope of the author's reporting is a bit limited—except for one billionaire, her subjects aren't especially socioeconomically diverse—and we never learn whether non-U.S. cultures suffer the same pangs of envy. Worse, her soft concluding chapter tacks toward self-help, offering counsel that's surprisingly platitudinous ("The universe will provide"). Even so, Boss's case for candor is valuable.

Life is getting harder and harder no matter where you live.. I am sure there are those who are more fortunate than others and we should not blame them for that... Our family is feeling the crunch and it is our responsibility to ourselves to try to make ends meet and not blame others for their good fortune...it is hard not too believe me.. when I see neighbors coming home with new cars for their kids etc it blows me away but then again I look at the situation and say good for them...and hope they can sustain that way of life.we have changed the way we live our daily lives by doing what most are doing...enjoying family time in our own backyard...watching old DVD's that we bought year ago and remember the first time we watched it ... I feel that although life is touch our family is back to actual family bonding.

We haven't seen our income drop, and hope that it does not. I've seen people all around me lose their jobs, including people who've been laid off at my company. We've made changes in our home. We disconnected our land line & internet, since 1. our computer is not working, so why pay internet when we can't afford a new computer yet, and 2. we rarely use the landline. That saves quite a bit there. We stopped using Comcast cable and went with Dish since they are much cheaper and their rates don't increase every few months like Comcast. Instead of purchasing new games/toys for the kids, they're trading in old games & consoles for new ones. There are ways to save money out there, and I think we're all strapped and/or worried. As with everything, this too will pass. I'm just trying to stay positive, even though I worry about being laid off all the time.

Well, I do not think there is an easy way out of this for anyone. My families income has been cut dramatically. My wife worked in the mortgage industry and first lost her bonus, then I lost my bonus, then she lost her job. In all we lost about $5000.00 per month. Now she is working again but is only making about $2500 a month. We are still in the hole about $2500 a month. Very hard to make that work with three kids from high school to first grade.
We have had to do some things (like everyone else) to cut from us so our kids do not feel it as much. I know that everyone still wants to eat out and I wish that the downtown restaurants would do a "Pleasanton" night where residence would get a bigger discount. I think things like that would help everyone right now.
Lots of people I know have had their homes go into foreclosure and have lost their jobs. Your Zip code will not protect you from the state of the economy.

Playboy.com's Must See Olympic TV Guide
We give you the details of what to catch at London 2012, starting this Friday!
As we continue our Playboy.com coverage of the 37th Summer Olympics, we realize that unlike the 1%, who have made their arrangements to gawk in person in jolly old England, the majority of us will be taking part via our trusty television sets. Stateside, NBCUniversal will be your network of choice, totaling more than 5,000 hours across its plethora of channels anchored by NBC and NBC Sports. If you're on the go or planning on sneaking in some action while on the clock, NBCOlympics.com will be streaming all 302 events, representing 32 sports, around the clock at no extra charge (recording included!). We've put together the highlights you're not going to want to miss when the Games kick off on Friday. Keep in mind, the U.K. is five hours ahead of the East Coast, eight for those in line with Tinseltown.
Opening: Friday, July 27 @ 4:00 P.M. EST
The traditional opening of the Olympics is a fanfare where the host country introduces the head of state (Her Majesty in this case) as well as presents the athletes that will be competing throughout the games. This is usually the audience's first opportunity to criticize, jest and otherwise mock the other countries' strange and unconventional attire. The host country also attempts to impress the rest of the globe with techno tricks and cultural oddities. If Beijing's numerous controversies of hiding chubby children and rigged fireworks entertained you, imagine what the Brits will come up with! Details are slowly leaking out; some are saying everything from Harry Potter to Mary Poppins is part of the 10,000-performer set, including a reported filmed segment of 007 (currently Daniel Craig) with the Queen at Buckingham — this should be a winner!
Closing: Sunday, August 12 @ 4:00 P.M. EST
The closing of the Games is usually a less formal affair than the opening as the host country comes to the realization that they'll probably be in the hole financially for at least the next decade (hint: Montreal '76). Along with the traditional handover ceremony and presentation by the next Summer Games (Rio 2016!), you can look forward to the final performance of British acts, including The Who, Take That, George Michael and, yes, apparently the Spice Girls are back.
As the ultimate girl watchers in the country, our suggested trifecta of must-see sports consists of girls getting hot, vicious and aggressive. While we're envious of their boyfriends after these matches (assuming they win, that is), the fairer sex is definitely bringing their game this year and we are more than happy to help cheer them on.
Beach Volleyball
Starting Saturday, July 28th, night owls and early birds get their first glimpse of skin starting at four A.M. EST as the first qualifying round of women's beach volleyball gets underway with Zhang/Xue of China taking on the Russian duo of Vasina/Vozakova.
For those sporting the Team USA logo, you can tune in July 28th in primetime to check out two-time gold medal winners Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings.
Other notables to watch:
Quarterfinal round: August 5 (1 P.M. EST)
Semifinal round: August 7 (12 P.M. EST & 4 P.M. EST)
Bronze medal: August 8 (2 P.M. EST)
Gold medal: August 8 (4 P.M. EST)
If you've been paying attention to our weekly Playbook, the U.S. Olympic men's team is shaping up to be a definite force to be reckoned with, as it comprises several returning 2008 gold medal winners and current NBA superstars, including Anthony, Bryant and James. Our home team is starting in Group A this year, which means we're pitted against Argentina, France, Tunisia, Nigeria and Lithuania to start. Here's our full schedule (as well as the medal games we'll have to qualify for).
Group A
USA-France: July 29 (9:30 A.M. EST)
USA-Tunisia: July 31 (5:15 P.M. EST)
USA-Nigeria: August 2 (5:15 P.M. EST)
USA-Lithuania: August 4 (9:30 A.M EST)
USA-Argentina: August 6 (5:15 P.M. EST)
August 8: TBD (9 A.M., 11:15 A.M., 3:30 P.M., 5:15 P.M.)
August 10: TBD (12 P.M., 4 P.M.)
Bronze Medal
August 12: TBD (6 A.M.)
Gold Medal
August 12: TBD (10 A.M.)
The sport that brings us glorious amounts of Sharapova and team Williams is back for some hard-hitting fun down at Wimbledon. Here's when to watch:
First round singles matches: July 29 (7 A.M. - 3 P.M. EST on BRAVO)
Second round singles matches: July 30 (7 A.M. - 3 P.M. EST on BRAVO)
Mixed Doubles begin: August 1 (7 A.M. – 3 P.M. EST on BRAVO)
Quarterfinals: August 2 (7 A.M. - 3 P.M. EST on Bravo)
Gold Medal (Singles): August 4 (9 A.M. EST on NBC)
Gold Medal (Mixed Doubles): August 5 (7 A.M. EST on NBC Sports)
Gold Medal (Doubles): August 5 (12:15 P.M. EST on NBC Sports)
300+ More Events
While it would be impossible to give you our picks from every sport, we'd also suggest checking out the following while glued to your sets:
Michael Phelps 2012 Olympic Debut & Qualifying for Medal #8: July 29 (11 A.M. EST on NBC)
Rhythmic Gymnastics Final (with, we hope, Team USA's sexy Julie Zeltin): August 11 (8:30 A.M. EST)
Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte: The 200 meter death race: August 2 (3:15 P.M. EST)
Equestrian (with the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips): July 31 (5:30/9:30 A.M. EST)

UPDATE: 3 Teenagers Killed, 2 Hurt In Pueblo Rollover
Victims Names Released
PUEBLO, Colo. - Three people are dead and two people hurt in a rollover crash in Pueblo that happened Saturday night near Pueblo Boulevard and Northern Avenue.
14-year-old Serena Cena, Selena Mascarenas and 18-year-old Anisa Montoya died Saturday night in a suspected drunk driving crash.
Pueblo police said the three teenagers killed were in a red Chevy Cobalt. The crash happened around 9 p.m. Saturday when a silver truck crashed into the red car.
According to Pueblo police, two girls were thrown from the silver truck. 14-year-old Jade Dorrance is in serious but stable condition on Monday. Her friend, 13-year-old Jordyn Carrillo, is in fair condition at Parkview Medical Center on Monday. On Sunday, Jordyn was listed in critical condition.
Officers said they arrested Gilbert Sanchez, the driver of the truck, on suspicion of driving under the influence. He has been booked into the Pueblo County Jail on a long list of charges including vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and driving under the influence.
Officers said that someone reported a drunk driver in a truck going about 100 miles per hour, just before the crash.

In my opinion too much is made of trying to strategize your way into the finals, and not enough attention is paid to the events themselves.
The original five events (Canada, USA, France, Germany and Japan) were prestigious international invitational figure skating competitions long before the Grand Prix was so much as a gleam in $peedy's eye. Skate Canada is the oldest, dating to 1973.
It was an honor to be invited to any of them. (And yes, U.S. champions Alissa Czisny, Jeremy Abbott, and Davis and White have every reason to feel snubbed that they were not invited to Skate America this year. ) Medalling was a prestigious accomplishment in its own right, not just a means of gathering points for some other purpose. Winners of Skate America include Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano, Todd Eldredge (5 times) and Michelle Kwan (7). The winners of the first German event (1990) were Kurt Browning and Kristi Yamaguchi.
Before Alissa Czisny won U.S. Nationals last year, she was always introduced in exhibitions as, "the winner of the 2005 Skate Canada!"
In 1995 the five federations decided to get together for the purpose of sharing television revenue and pooling prize money. Up until then, they were just five separate events, each organized and produced by its own national federation.
But once that "pooled television money" idea arose, in swooped Speedy. In 1996 the ISU arrogated all television rights for these events to itself and came up with the "Championship Series," which two years later was renamed the Grand Prix of Figure Skating.
It's all about the Benjamins.
I agree about the U.S. Champions should be feeling snubbed for not being invited to SA. But at least it happened to three out of four disciplines, so nobody should feel especially slighted.
Gee, MATHMAN. Thanks for being around to explain and make things more understandable. I feel so frustrated. I used to only watch the figure skaters and see who will get into the podium, but gradually the curiosity of knowing more about the how, the who, the why, and the when makes me realize that the people involved/running figure skating is just like any system with so much politics. I really appreciate all your informative comments/discussions where at least my thoughts on skating is placed on the right perspective of infos
And may I add my thoughts on the competitors of the GP. Well, with the COMEBACKS, I sure wish they can compete. We all know how they were before and doing shows during their absence from competitions. Now they say that they will compete again and so much long discussions about their coming back and promotions for their image. Enough of the blah blahs and they should show that they are deserving. With the CURRENT SKATERS, kudos to them for still being around always improving to the very difficult/strict requirements of the current judging system.The judging system during the COMEBACKS' time is very different from the current judging system. All the minute/detailed deductions of the current system is so demanding. And one should not ignore the psyche/mental aspect of it all when they are on the ice. So, good luck to all the competitors and special mention to the COMEBACKS because they have to prove to themselves, the people and their fans that with all the years of absence and the change of the judging system, they are still competitive and that they still exist.
nice post
but i have to confess that while reading it, it honestly gave me some shiversThe comebacks sounded like androids of a philip dick novel ready to invade the human figure skating world
THE COMEBACKS..brrrr

Oh I m not thinking of plushy everytime i speak about something (surprised ? ), i was thinking the whole packet, him, shen/zhao, cohen, kwan, as a new body of skaters to threaten earth, pretty much like Mathman's picture, but think of the trailer, The C O M E B A C K S...coming at a theater near you I have vivid imagination, what can i saySo, Plushy has been a master of the quads (I dissented, you'll recall), an X-man (I believe we chose Mystique) and is now an android? What's next, a cyborg?last time I checked yes! Le Zar is coming back!seniorita, are you sure you're a Plushenko fan ?
SENIORITA, you're really made me laugh when I read "...but think of the trailer. The COMEBACKS...coming at a theater near you"
This year we have a different schedule, right? It's the NA-events last and I think it was partly because they wanted to increase the quality of the competition (the first events of the season are never the best) and because they wanted to generate more excitement before the Olympics by having SC and SA about 2 months before the Olympics.
But then I have a question. Both SA and SC have relatively weak fields. The Men's and Ladies' event at SA is extremely weak compared to Japan or France. The Men's in Canada isn't much better, and Joannie Rochette can ask Skate Canada to send her the Gold by mail.
Is that the way to generate excitement, by inviting the weakest fields to the competitions? Or was it only about seeing the NA-skaters win before the Olympics and not about presenting the sport at it's best?
.................unless she gets mule-kicked off the top of the podium.

10,000-year increments
The best thing about a late sunrise is being awake to see it. Of course, it's coming late enough now that I'm often at work before any hint of dawn graces the horizon. I find myself going in to the office earlier and earlier, in hopes of catching the last rays of daylight before the sunset. No matter how sunny it is, though, it's hard to coax myself outside when the temperatures hover around 10 degrees. And I think, "someday, someday I'll be a real Alaskan and I will persevere no matter what." I said this phrase to myself when I ran outside at 6:30 a.m. today to start my car. I like to tell myself that when the winter gets to the point where my 1996 Geo Prism (2WD and 140,000 miles) is stopped dead by deep snow or cold, I'll just hop on my mountain bike and ride the five steep downhill miles to work. But today, as I pried the wipers from Geo's windshield and then tried to curl my nearly frozen fingers around the steering wheel, I wondered if I actually have it in me. Still five more weeks until solstice - I guess I'm going to find out, either way.

Sonny Bill Williams' first match back in rugby league could be a Foundation Cup clash with the Sydney Roosters pitched against Benji Marshall and the Tigers - in New Zealand.
The two Sydney clubs have been approached to play a pre-season match in this country, before the start of the 2013 NRL season in March at a venue yet to be decided.
While his return to league is yet to be 100 per cent confirmed, it is generally accepted that Williams will be at the Bondi club next year. The delay in putting pen to paper and lack of a formal announcement is to avoid his Japanese rugby earnings counting towards the Roosters' salary cap in 2013.
The Tigers initially planned to play a invitation side near Marshall's home region in the Bay of Plenty but confirmed they have since been approached with the proposal to play the Roosters.
"There has been a proposal put to us to bring the team down for our traditional Foundation Cup clash with the Roosters," said a Tigers' spokesman.
"If everything comes together, it would be a great opportunity to bring Benji up against Sonny Bill in New Zealand and it would be a hell of a showpiece."
The Foundation Cup has been contested by the two clubs since 2007, in a pre-season fixture which also marks the establishment of league in Australia. The Tigers represent NRL foundation clubs Western Suburbs and the Balmain Tigers (who merged in 2000) and the Roosters are one of just two other teams (along with Souths) who competed in the the inaugural year of 1908. The match has always been held at Sydney Football Stadium although this season it was played at Campbelltown.
The attraction for both Australian teams coming to these shores would be the bottom line; crowds for the fixture in Sydney have been steadily falling (16,000 in 2007, 10,000 in 2009 and under 7000 in 2011) but the match is sure to attract a bumper gate in New Zealand. Both clubs - but particularly the Tigers - are cash-strapped at the moment and would welcome the boost to their coffers.
"These days the reality is you don't want to put your talent out for pennies," says the Tigers' official. "In the past a trial was just that; a chance for your team to have a run under match conditions and try out some new combinations. Now there is a definite financial and marketing element to it."
Marshall and Williams have clashed before in the NRL, although it was a relatively rare event as Williams' time with the Bulldogs coincided with Marshall's horror run of injuries, where he missed a large part of the 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008 seasons through injury.
In 2005, when the Tigers' star was virtually ever-present, Williams played just five games due to his own injuries. Due to their constant time on the sidelines, the duo have also only played together once for the Kiwis in the 2006 Anzac Test.
Meanwhile, the Warriors will take on Penrith in a pre-season trial at Waikato Stadium on February 16. The match will pitch former coach Ivan Cleary against new coach (and former Penrith coach) Matthew Elliott.
It will be Elliott's first "home" match and the only trial the Warriors will play in the North Island ahead of next year's NRL campaign. Apart from the locally-produced Rapira brothers being in line to play, the Hamilton trial could also mark debut outings for new Warriors signings Dane Nielsen and Todd Lowrie, who are joining the club after their NRL premiership success with Melbourne.
Halfback Thomas Leuluai could be in contention for his first appearance for the club in more than eight years, the 2003-2004 Vodafone Warrior returning home after so much success with Wigan in the English Super League.
Penrith could field former Warriors Lewis Brown and Jeremy Latimore.

After a century in stasis the girl En arrives at her destination: A Palace out of legend, a marvel of the old civilization eons gone, still awaiting its first human occupants. Out here, using forgotten technologies, she hopes to bring back a life that shouldn't have been lost.
In ECHO everything has consequence: As you try to wield its magical technologies it becomes apparent that the Palace has a will of its own… It studies everything you do, everything you are – to use it against you.
The Palace creates Echoes – exact copies of you in every way. They behave like you and only do the things you do. So the way you play the game shapes your enemy. If you run, soon the Echoes will get faster. If you sneak, they will get stealthier. If you shoot, they will start to shoot back. The game constantly reacts to your every choice and input.
The Palace "reboots" every few minutes, resulting in a blackout. This blackout-cycle is the rhythm at which the "Echoes" get updated with your latest behavior, learning and unlearning from your actions. During the blackout the palace is blind, giving you the freedom to act without consequence. This is the time to run and gun and do all the things you don't want the Echoes to learn.
The experience is one of being up against your own choices from the last blackout-cycle, giving you a way of shaping the game from cycle to cycle. It is up to you whether you prefer to keep a low profile or if you choose to go head on and deal with the consequences later – one thing is certain you need to keep your wits about you as you face the ultimate enemy: Yourself.

Leased a new 2011 XJL SC 5 weeks ago. The car is just plain sexy if you ask me. Interior is beautiful; the engine is a beast; remarkably agile. It's now been in the shop for 3 weeks though!! Shortly after taking delivery, I noticed numerous rattles and pops, the engine wasn't smooth when idling, and the brakes made a grinding noise when coasting to a stop. The engine issue was due to low voltage on the battery- easily fixed. Brakes were easily fixed (I'm told). Dealership still hasn't fixed the rattles. After 3 WEEKS! This car is a radical new design from Jaguar and I'm not sure they know how to build it. Maybe my experience is outside the norm, but looks like they're going to lose some JD Power titles.
We had some problems with our Four Seasons XF Supercharged but the car made up for it. If this has been your experience so far, you're probably in for a true love/hate relationship with your XJ. You'll love it when its working but absolutely detest it when its not.
Hello, guys. I read your opinions written here on the topic and I was wondering what you think about these images revealing the 2012 Jaguar XF facelift:
Yes my 2011 XJL SC with rear seat entertainment center is gorgeous and agile, but upon delivery the rear seat entertainment center I waited an additional 5 months for would not play US DVDs. The vehicle also had excessive wind noise which was easily corrected after a two day stint in the shop. Now the rattles and pops which would only occur when pulling into my garage are occurring frequently while driving whenever bumps are encountered or chassis is required to flex. Will have to make appointment for next week. Were the any corrections made to your vehicle?
All i know is that my 2009 xf (xtra frightening to drive)supercharged is the biggest piece of junk i have ever had the displeasure to drive.In any snow it can't stay on the road, it the rain it's scary.11 flat tires in 2 years at less than highway speed and 3 cracked rims this car is not made for any road with a pothole on it.with the broken gear shifter and various failures now it sits at the dealer with 56,000 miles and no warranty. the dealer has no idea what is wrong with it and i am not paying one more dime to fix this junk.DON'T ANYONE EVER BUY THIS CAR IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE IN BAD WEATHER!My 11 year old will soon be posting the great jaguar xf lemon on youtube. with the big lemon on top of it.
Don't have a hairy. Jags are tail-happy in low-grip conditions. If you're outta your league as a driver, get a lesser car.
i think it will be perfect_________________________________________________Cash For Cars in NJ
Sorry to hear of your problems. Hard to have the pleasure of a fine new car beaten down by such troubles. I once had a new Volvo that spent its first 10 weeks in the shop, something new broke each week. I just traded in my 2009 XF for a 2012 XF. The 2009 was trouble free, drove it from Florida to Maine on trips, loved it so much I got the new one. After 3000 miles my only complaint is that the gas milage is significantly lower on the 2012. But then the power is significantly up. Good luck getting this straightened out.
Cars are one of my three vices, the other two will not be named here.

Pirates In A Tie For Second Place
GREENVILLE - The East Carolina women's basketball team looks to get back on the winning track as it plays host to conference leader SMU on Thursday, February 14.
Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

In C-USA, East Carolina owns the best winning percentage at home (.910) and has won nine straight contests at Minges.
ECU is averaging 64.5 points per game this season, while limiting their opponents to 54.5, for a scoring margin of +10.0.
The Pirate defense is forcing 21.9 turnovers per game, while collecting 12.6 steals per contest, which is good for 10th in the nation.

Whitny Edwards has been consistent for the Pirates all season as she averages 6.5 rebounds per game, and has added 38 steals and 41 assists.
In addition to being the team's second leading scorer, Stewart is the team leader in assists with 89.
The senior point guard has been a major contributer as she has also posted 64 rebounds and 33 steals.
Junior Kristine Mial has made an immediate impact since returning to the Pirates' lineup after sitting out the first 10 games of the season due to an injury.
Since her return, she is averaging 9.6 points per game and has collected 32 rebounds and 14 steals.
Redshirt sophomore Kyani White has grabbed 52 steals to lead the Pirates and average 2.4 steals per game.
White has also added 6.0 points per game, 71 assists, and 2.0 rebounds per game.
SMU enters Minges Coliseum leading Conference USA with a perfect 9-0 league mark and an 18-4 overall record which is good enough for the Mustangs to be receiving votes in both the AP and USA Today Coaches Polls.
The Mustangs have won 10 straight games dating back to December 30, 2012, when their 10-game winning streak began with an 88-73 win over Harvard.
SMU is averaging 70.4 points per game and holding opponents to 59.9, for a scoring margin of +10.5, to lead the conference.
As a team, the Mustangs are shooting 40.3 percent from the field.

She has also contributed 6.1 rebounds per game, 64 assists and 38 steals.
Senior Alisha Filmore is the Mustangs' second leading scorer as she averages 12.1 points per game.

Akil Simpson is averaging 10.5 points per contest to go along with a team-best 7.9 rebounds per game.

Bohuslav Rattay, conductor for the Lake Charles Symphony, casts his vote for the People's Choice Overture to be performed at the Feb. 2 concert. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 1:50 PM
The votes are in and the winner of the People's Choice Overture is "Capricco Espagnol" by Rimsky-Korsakov. Conductor Bohuslav Rattay decided to allow the audience to have a hand in selecting the opening piece for the Lake Charles Symphony's Feb. 2 concert.
Votes were cast at earlier symphony events, including the September concert, the Discovery Series, Art Promenade and the Holiday Gala.
"Capricco Espagnol," with its lively melodies based on Spanish folk tunes, emerged as the clear favorite. The Haydn Trumpet Concerto, showcasing one of the symphony's own, David Scott, and the popular Symphony No. 2 by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius round out the Feb. 2 program.

In a vote on Wednesday, the Federal communications commission moved forward with a plan to reserve additional frequencies for Wi-fi devices, an effort to reduce congestion in high traffic areas such as airports, hotels and the like. It also intends to increase capacities in homes, which often have many devices in use.
The change would mean freeing up an additional 195 megahertz of spectrum, which according to the FCC, would increase the available Wi-Fi spectrum in the 5 GHz band by 35 percent.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski touted the plan in saying, "Today, the FCC takes a big step to ease congestion on traditional Wi-Fi networks, which will mean faster speeds and fewer headaches for U.S. consumers."
However, the spectrum is already in use by some commercial and governmental entities, and the chairman admits that consultation will be necessary to avoid interference issues, but assures that such consultation "Can't be an excuse for inaction or delay."
The commission will take public comments before continuing with the measure.

Hey guys.
This is my first post here and I was just looking for some info. I have a 1995 Don Post helmet (still has the cardboard display stand!) that I found in my closet. I'm trying to clear up some space and sell it and I was wondering what a fair price to ask for it would be?
UPDATED w/ PICS!


text: Decided the old 5vr was going to be too much trouble to make it work with this new truck...the trailer is just too short, and I've done all that can be done (short of major mods) to make it ride right behind this 2500. Its an 89, and its meant for a 1500...the axles are flipped, extended spreader bar installed, biggest tires are on...still lacks about 2 inches. So it will be up for sale soon... The wife and I thought we might want to go smaller, and sort of set our eyes on one of the off-road pop-ups. I don't intend to off-road with it by any means, but more for the tougher tires, heavier frame, higher ground clearance, and the front mounted platform for storage. We found several options, but most needed to be ordered as they are considered a "specialty" camper. We did find a Coleman E3 local to us, will look at it tonight...probably pull the trigger on it.

Maybe somebody who took offense to Phil's comments can explain how calling Eli a HOF'er is slighting him.
This idea that Phil needs to call Eli one of the greatest QB's of all-time or he's taking a shot at him and the Giants is just ridiculous.
Eli has his moments, but he's definitely not amongst the greatest QB's that I've seen play.
