As one of the state's oldest and most successful arts institutions, Colorado Ballet is the only organization of its size and stature to produce classical ballet. Colorado Ballet's mission is to present exceptional quality classical ballet and innovative dance through performances, training and education programs that are integral to the cultural life of our community.
Colorado Ballet is a nationally recognized regional dance company that was conceived as a ballet school, and founded in 1951, by Denver natives Freidann Parker and Lillian Covillo. To showcase their talented students, the life-long friends established Colorado Concert Ballet in 1961. The Company presented its very first production of The Nutcracker at the Bonfils Theater in Denver to sold out audiences.
"Our dream, at the time," said Covillo, "was to have a company that was professional, so the dancers we were training didn't have to go to other cities to find jobs."
By 1978, Colorado Concert Ballet employed 16 men and women, and had achieved full professional status. The Board of Trustees increased the annual budget to $100,000 and refined the Company's name. In doing so, Colorado Ballet was born. In 1987, Parker and Covillo conducted a nationwide search, at their own expense, for a new artistic director. With their choice of Martin Fredmann, they changed the course of Colorado Ballet.
"It all began in our imagination and continued to grow and become reality," Parker recalled just weeks before her death in 2002.
In response to the lagging economy in Denver, Colorado Ballet looked to an emerging national trend among dance companies and entered into an alliance with Tampa Ballet. Through shared expenses, the alliance enabled the companies to develop an excellent artistic product with reduced financial risk. By 1990, Colorado Ballet achieved greater financial stability and community recognition, so the alliance was discontinued to better enable future growth of the Denver-based company. The decision reestablished Colorado Ballet as a resident company.
In the 2006-2007 season, Gil Boggs, a former American Ballet Theatre principal, began his tenure as artistic director of Colorado Ballet. Under his leadership, the Company has received some of the best critical reviews in its history, and looks forward to many more exciting and inspired seasons.
On October 21, 2010, the Company celebrated its 50 years and paid tribute to Lillian Covillo and Freidann Parker. Covillo was in attendance and was able to see so many of the people she and Parker impacted through their dedication to the art they loved. "Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would see the day that Colorado Ballet would achieve such artistic success – not only in its production, but in the high quality of the dancers," said Covillo. "How truly great it is!"
On November 22, 2010, the Company suffered a significant loss with the passing of Lillian Covillo. Colorado Ballet would not be what it is today if not for the vision and dedication of Lillian Covillo and Freidann Parker.
Colorado Ballet is now one of the foremost arts organizations in the region. With a company of 30 professional dancers of national and international acclaim, 15-22 studio company dancers, an expansive repertoire, the Colorado Ballet Academy, and an amazing education and outreach program that makes more than 30,000 community contacts each season.
In January 2013, Colorado Ballet purchased a building at the north end of Denver's Arts District on Santa Fe. The organization renovated the 30,000 square foot building and moved into its new home at the Armstrong Center for Dance in August 2014. For the first time in its history, Colorado Ballet owns it home. Click here for more information on Colorado Ballet's home.
In December 2016, Colorado Ballet's The Nutcracker was named the best-loved Nutcracker in the 10th Annual Goldstar National Nutcracker Award contest, winning this coveted honor in a field that included more than 80 other productions throughout the U.S.

I love Wisniewski as well. People want to talk about players being perfect, look at that guy. Absolutely zero flaws to his game. Unbelievably technically sound and completely ready to start from Day 1 in the NFL. Unfortunately he's not an amazing athlete as he doesn't have elite strength, agility, and overall athleticism. But, meh, as a center he can get away with those things. Centers generally don't get out and pull a lot nor do they have to be huge or anything. As a guard I can understand why some reports say he's a mid-round prospect.
If his stock is really falling I'd jump at him in the 3rd round
Yeah I dont view him as a guard. [/quote] I'm with you.. I think hes as good a C prospect as there is, all though, its nice to no, we can slide him to guard, if the situation presented itself, and he woulden't embaress himself...

Here is the starting order: http://www.isuresults.com/results/wc2010/SEG004.HTM.
Mirai almost got the Pimp Spot but it's a great spot for her. However, unlike Vancouver, she'll have a little more pressure on her to deliver. Let's see if she can pull it off. Ksenia can have a respectable Top 6 finish too. I liked her Olympics performance.
Yuna can easily pull a Stephane at 2006 SC-Adam at 2010 4CC-Elvis at 1996 Worlds and move up. But it also depends how the final flight skate. She has Viktoria, Cynthia, and Granny skating after her before the FF. Caro has a tendency to bomb at home and Rachael is getting downgrades left and right all of a sudden. Laura will get the pretty points even with only 3 triples but we'll see.
Looking at the LP music list, we're getting
2 Cleopatras (Miki & Cynthia)
2 Carmens (Mirai & Elene)
1 Maria (Akiko)
1 Roxie (Alena)
1 Elizabeth the Virgin Queen (Cheltzie)
1 Fantine/Cosette/Eponine (Min)
1 trying to be like 2005 Irina (German Sarah)
1 trying to be like 1999 Maria B. (Gitzmo)
1 trying to be like 2007 Stephane (Sonia)
and a 12th Warrior (Ksenia)

Oh it's so weird to see Akiko in the first group I will wake up at 4:30 AM PST so I can watch her skate one of my favorite LPs this year....tomorrow is going to be CRAZY.
Skating gods PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let Yu-na and Akiko have redeeming skates tomorrow. I don't want them to end such a phenomenal year on a low note! I hate to see great skaters down.
Considering all the distractions aroun her, I didn't think Yuna was going to be 100% in Torino. But, I have never thought she would struggle with something other than the first two jumps. She probably lost her cool after the flip. I guess she is human after all. No doubt that she will perform better than she did today. But, I don't expect her LP to be as good as her Olympic LP. She will make the podium, though. Have you guys seen the protocol yet?
Extremely happy for Mirai. Barring a disaster -- and it won't happen -- she will get a medal. With her performance at the Olympics, it is a great opportunity for her. A strong foothold in her campaign for Sochi.
As for Mao, she is planning 3A, 3A-2T, and possibly 3F-3Lo (or is it 3F-3T?) in LP. I am not sure how consistent the tech panel may get tomorrow. But, I assume two downgrades out of the three based on what I saw today. I am not sure if that is enough to beat Mirai. She can decide what to do with 3-3 after Yuna's LP. Unless Yuna submits a near perfect LP, Mao may be able to catch up with Mirai as Mao is one determined girl right now.

I'm glad Mirai doesn't have to skate last tomorrow. What a horrible place to have to skate all the time.
And Mao is always one determined girl. That's one of the reasons I love her so.
Best of luck to Yuna and Akiko and Miki!!
Mao is planning a 3-3? I didn't hear any news on that. I think she's sticking to her present layout. I don't think it's wise to risk a 3-3 since she may get downgraded as the tech panel is pretty strict.
Excited MJ made the freeskate! Sad Swiss Sarah won't be there tomorrow though . I hope MJ rocks it tomorrow, it was almost painful seeing her sad in the Kiss and Cry today, I like happy, peace sign MJ better !
Anyone else excited that Dutch girl Manouk made the LP? I just watched her SP and I really like her! She's not phenomenal but she's only 16 and pretty with some nice jumps. She could be competitive on the European stage in coming years.
By the way, just for fun, if everyone skated their season's best here's how everyone would rank..
1.) Yu-Na Kim, 210.36
2.) Mao Asada, 199.80
3.) Mirai Nagasu, 196.79
4.) Laura Lepisto, 190.51
5.) Rachael Flatt, 178.73
6.) Ksenia Markrova 174.75
7.) Carolina Kostner, 169.86
I did some more fooling around...and realize that it is possible for Yu-na to get the gold, it will be quite a feat if she medals if everyone else does a great program.
To beat a perfect, season's best FS Mao, she would need a 139.51, which would be her second highest score this season.
To beat a perfect, season's best FS Mirai, she would need a 136.50, which would still be her second highest score this season.
To beat a perfect, season's best FS Laura, she would need a 130.22, which is below her score at TEB earlier this year (which had a missed flip).
I have a feeling the judges are not so generous in giving the scores like they did in the Olympics, so I'm guessing that she will need something in the 130s if she expects to win or podium if the skaters above her do great.
Of course on the flip slide...
To beat a season's worst LP from Mao, she would need a 106.12, which is lower than her score at SA where she had a whopping THREE downgrades and a fall.
To beat a season's worst LP from Mirai, she would need a 103.28, again lower than her SA score.
To beat a season's worst LP from Laura, she would need a 102.55
Point is all the current medalists are super clean, then she will have to also, but if they are not, there is a little bit of flexibility. Basically, I think you could safely say a score of at least 125 would probably allow her to medal and a score of closer to 140 would give her a good shot of winning.

text: Looking at upgrading from my 94 Burb to a 2000-2003. Pretty much anything in my price range will have high miles. Taking the general condition into account, how many miles is something to worry about? Do these still have the same tranny issues if towing heavy loads? My 94 is in excellent shape, rust free, relatively low miles for it's age (157k), and has a freshly rebuilt tranny with cooler. I pull a 6000-6500lb travel trailer. I don't want to end up having regrets just because I was looking for a better ride or more modern looks.

Hi all,
Last season I purchased two new smokers from Mann Lake. The smoker itself seems to be excellent operating quite well and all. But, the bellows on these smoker are well, rather poor. After the first season the bellows now have small holes wearing in the corners and down the sides. Anyone have any ideas on how to repair the bellows (other than the all time favorite duct tape)? Also something that could be used maybe to preserve the material from just wearing out so fast? I'm rather disappointed in the material here that should hold up to work, especially when charged the price.

At the end of the day the emancipation proclamation was issued by the executive branch of the government
What do you think the civil war was about?
At the end of the day the emancipation proclamation was issued by the executive branch of the government. That might give you a clue as to how Lincoln felt on the issue. Do you think that he would have drug the country into war if it weren't something as serious as slavery?
Countries devolve in civil wars for other reasons other than abolition of slavery. Also the EP was sighed TWO years into the Civil War. Why wait that long?
In fact, Lincoln was always keenly aware that slavery, though morally wrong in his eyes, was sanctioned by law, and he frequently acknowledged that the rights of slave owners, both to retain their slaves and to have fugitive slaves returned, were clearly guaranteed in the Constitution. Before the outbreak of civil war, he advocated nothing that would directly challenge those rights. This position sharply distinguished him from abolitionists, many of whom were actively involved in supporting runaway slaves, and all of whom viewed the returning of fugitive slaves as unconscionable, whatever the Constitution might dictate. The most radical abolitionists openly denounced the Constitution for its protection of slavery and repudiated its authority.
"I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing or all the other.
Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new -- North as well as South."
Historian Stephen Oates noted that Mr. Lincoln "complained bitterly that race was not the issue between him and Douglas. The issue was whether slavery would ultimately triumph or ultimately perish in the United States. But Douglas understood the depth of anti-Negro feeling in Illinois, and he hoped to whip Lincoln by playing on white racial fears. And so he kept warning white crowds: Do you want Negroes to flood into Illinois, cover the prairies with black settlements, and eat, sleep, and marry with white people? If you do, then vote for Lincoln and the 'Black Republicans.'"

Three SCAD students earn National Black Art Festival's 2012 M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent Award
/SCAD students with Zac Posen, a former SCAD Style Lab mentor, at NBAF's Annual Fine Art + Fashion event/
Three Savannah College of Art and Design students in Atlanta were the only undergraduates honored with the National Black Art Festival's 2012 M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent award. Azede Jean-Pierre (B.F.A. fashion student), Kali LaGue (B.F.A. fashion student) and Christian Caldwell (B.F.A. fashion student) each received a $3,000 cash scholarship, and their winning designs will be on display in the Neiman Marcus-Atlanta Peachtree windows.
Fashion program continuously challenges
"We are extremely proud of our three SCAD Atlanta students awarded the 2012 M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent award by the NBAF," said David Goodrowe, associate dean of SCAD's School of Fashion. "Our program continuously challenges our fashion students to be innovative, and the NBAF recognizes this by honoring this year's winners as emerging talent."
M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent Award
The NBAF M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent Award was established by the late Sandra Anderson Baccus to honor the life and legacy of her late brother M. Jack Anderson. This award recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves as cutting edge, creative and innovative fashion designers. Individuals selected to receive this award have excelled academically, mastered their particular fields of study and are recognized as a dynamic emerging talent who possess leadership qualities in their personal life and professional aspirations.
On March 15, each SCAD student was presented a 2012 M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent award at the Sixth Annual Fine Art + Fashion event to benefit NBAF's year-round visual arts programming. The evening included a cocktail reception and a Neiman Marcus fashion presentation by acclaimed international fashion designer Zac Posen, a former SCAD Style Lab mentor, followed by a post-show party sponsored by Neiman Marcus. The NBAF is one of the premier national and international presenters of the art, music and culture of African descent.
SCAD: The University for Creative Careers

Did you try adjusting the gas regulator?
I bought this gun at the pawn shop it looks nice but I went to the range today and it won't cycle a round. You have to pull the bolt back after you fire a round after I fired about five the bolt got kind of tight like it was in a bind????? I don't really want to take it back but I paid 400.00 for it and I think for that price it should work right...
blaming guns for killing people is like blaming a pencil for misspelling words.
In front of the front sight is the gas plug, it's pretty common to have it up side down. There should be a line or some indicator on the outside, if you take out the plug you should see a tapered groove 180 to that indicator. When you install the plug rotate it so that the wide part of the taper is toward the barrel. Just behind the front sight should be a ring with numbers. That is the gas regulator, it will have kind of slope to it as it's rotated(this bleeds off gas to compensate for different loads and other conditions) it may be on full bleed and not sending enough gas to motivate the piston. It will need to be adjusted for your ammo. Also check to see if the recoil spring plunger is clean of excess lube, my brothers old FAL had a pant load of cosmoline in there and he had all sorts of trouble till it was cleaned out. After all that's checked only use enough gas to action the gun, I usually go 1 round at a time. Load one then fire, if the bolt hold open doesn't engage, close off the gas knob a couple clicks then try another round till the bolt hold open engages then I usually go one more click. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
One problem I had with my old FAL was a bad gas tube that bled too much, but try the other stuff before looking there.
what receiver is it made on?
on the reciever it says L1A1 sporter reciever made by IMBEL Brazil imported by cai st alb Vt . It looks like the the gas port adjust is all the way closed .I think I am just going to send it to Salbo and let him fix it....
blaming guns for killing people is like blaming a pencil for misspelling words.
Imbel receiver... nice gun. Fix it and keep it!!!
It's more than likely just the gas plug in the grenade launch position. If it is an L1A1 version the plug will have a hole in it instead of the slot on the metric version. It's best to figure this out for yourself now, otherwise you will be sending the rifle off to be "fixed" every time you clean it and reassemble it improperly, which is real easy to do if you are not familiar with the gas plug nuances.
I think it needs to be gone over by a gunsmith any way. I can take apart a ak-47 in the dark and put it back together but I have no Idea where to start on FAL
blaming guns for killing people is like blaming a pencil for misspelling words.
Bummer, after a little trial and error and some head scratching, I was able to get my FAL torn all the way down to a bare barreled reciever. I've had a metric and had an inch pattern they're not all that different.

I've been painting supers all afternoon. Had to put a wire wheel brush into
my handdrill first to take off loose paint and misc stuff. Then had to
tighten nails and/or replace them with either bigger ones or drywall screws
to get the supers corners to tighten down. A few supers, I had to put metal
corners on after puttying in where dovetail ends were needing fill.
Question: How do you all repair supers and equipment? How do you paint them
also? Roller, brush, spray? What type of paint? oil base, latex, stain ? Do
you brand?

Reviews of this property
Unfortunately we are not the first ones who have had bad experiences with Interhome !!!
It is unfair to specify CHRISTIAN as a landlord! The "rip-off", comes after booking. It required 19 euros per person for the final cleaning.
There were six in a 55 square meter apartment and had to pay 114 euros. The kitchen (no oven and without worktop) was approx 2 1/2 sq.m. / small and we had to unhook the door in order to open the cutlery drawer can. I could list several other shortcomings, but on such short notice, there was nothing else and the basic price was first low ....
My recommendation: always disconnect from this dubious business !!!. Upon further collaboration with Interhome, I can recommend Wimdu only limited further.
Leider sind wir nicht die ersten Gäste, die mit Interhome schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht haben!!!
Es ist unlauter, CHRISTIAN als Vermieter anzugeben! Die "Abzocke", kommt nach der Buchung. Es werden 19 Euro pro Person für die Endreinigung verlangt.
Wir waren zu sechst in einer 55 qm großen Wohnung und hatten 114 Euro zu zahlen. Die Küche (ohne Backofen und ohne Arbeitsplatte) war ca 2 1/2 qm groß/klein und wir mussten die Tür aushängen, um die Besteckschublade öffnen zu können. Ich könnte noch diverse andere Mängel aufzählen, aber so kurzfristig gab es nicht anderes und der Grundpreis war erstmal günstig....
Meine Empfehlung: Unbedingt von diesem unseriösen Unternehmen trennen!!!. Bei weiterer Zusammenarbeit mit Interhome kann ich Wimdu nur bedingt weiter empfehlen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you

a troubled pathological liar attention whore who: constantly makes up rape accusations, purposely had a child (via artificial insemination) as a single mother in her early 20's only to spend her whole life on public assistance while feeding her "tricky" child out of a dumpster

It is hard to imagine a better Republican candidate for Rhode Island's First Congressional District than Colonel Brendan Doherty, the retired superintendent of state police.
Six-foot-four. Square jaw. As Rhode Island's top cop, he hung a sign on his door that read, simply, "No" — no favors, no special treatment.
Match him up against Democratic Congressman David Cicilline, who is not exactly the most trusted man in Rhode Island right now, and the campaign commercials practically write themselves.
If Doherty has a path to victory, though, it is rockier than it might appear. He is, after all, a political novice. He talks like a cop. He still has time to get a better grasp on the issues, but not much.
And while Cicilline, the former Providence mayor, has been damaged by news of a financial crisis in City Hall — and an almost universal belief that he covered it up while he ran for Congress last year — he is still a political professional, skilled in the arts of fundraising.
With a Democratic president atop the ticket in 2012, moreover, the incumbent can count on the party faithful to flock to the polls.
But the Democrats, however daunting, may not pose the greatest threat to Doherty's political ambitions. No, the real threat could be a Rhode Island GOP that seems determined to ditch one of its most promising Congressional candidates in memory.
At first blush, Doherty has the advantage over his Republican rival John J. Loughlin II, a former state representative.
It's hard to compete with the colonel's stature, after all. And Doherty is lapping his opponent in the money chase that dominates the opening phase of any campaign. The colonel took in more than $255,000 for the quarter ending June 30, setting hearts aflutter at the Republican National Committee.
Loughlin, who is serving with the Army in Iraq through the end of the year, collected $3000 during the same reporting period and ended the quarter with precisely $302.09 on hand.
If the cash contest remains lopsided come January, there will be substantial pressure on the former state representative to drop out of the race, preventing a potentially expensive and divisive primary.
But Loughlin's camp insists he is in the race to stay. And supporters are confident he will prevail in a Republican primary; one prominent GOP ally went so far as to predict he will "crush" Doherty next September.
The optimism is not as farfetched as it might sound.
Loughlin, who lost a close race to Cicilline last year, has undeniable strengths as a campaigner: he is affable, if sometimes glib; smart and seasoned; backers say he will run circles around Doherty in the debates.
And he has built a formidable network of Republican supporters; next month, in an early show of strength, 16 GOP city and town chairmen — nearly every chairman in the district — will co-sponsor a fundraiser for the former state representative.
The party activists' loyalty owes something to Loughlin's service in the legislature and long presence on the GOP fundraising and event circuit; Doherty can claim neither. But his run against Cicilline last year may be his most important asset.

Reviews of this property
Very professional, always available to help and offering solutions to particular requests and extremely practical. The place is always clean, ready by the time I arrive and usually the houses are very quiet. I keep coming back each time I go to London...
Me and my 7 years old daughter stayed for 3 nights in one of the loft rooms.
+ only 14 minutes walk to Westfield shopping mall
+ 17 minutes walk to queen Elizabeth park
+ good kitchen facilities
+ 3 minutes walk to a supermarket
- Nutella was empty
- 10 minutes walk to the Stratford station
- never met Rosie
- lack of information on arrival.
- can be noisy since there is around 6 rooms in total which can be rented out to different people.
- Had one towel and the same bedsheet for the 3 nights.
I chose this as I thought we would be living with a local family and all the reviews said that Rosi was very helpful but that wasn't the case. We met a maid on arrival who showed us kitchen, bathroom and our room and that's all the information we got. It felt like a hotel room except that the rooms are noisier. Loft rooms are quite compared to the ones on the ground floor.
There was some good bars and restaurants within 15 minutes of walk. Just go to Westfield shopping mall and on the other side of the mall there is a food street. Highly recommended.
Stratford station is a 10 minutes walk and is a good station to get everywhere.
Overall a good enough place if you are on a budget.
The room corresponded to the photos, as in England is often the case, however, the house looked worn. A bathroom was newly renovated, which we liked very well. During our stay we met again and again to new residents, so we were not entirely clear how many people actually lived dirt. The proximity to shopping and public transportation was great.
On our departure to Rosi unfortunately no longer reported to requests, which was very sad ...
Das Zimmer entsprach den Fotos, wie in England häufig üblich, wirkte das Haus jedoch verwohnt. Ein Badezimmer war frisch renoviert, was uns sehr gut gefallen hat. Während unseres Aufenthaltes trafen wir immer wieder neue BewohnerInnen an, so dass uns nicht ganz klar war, wie viele Menschen dirt tatsächlich lebten. Die Nähe zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln war super.
An unserem Abreisetag meldete sich Rosi leider nicht mehr auf Anfragen, was sehr schade war...
Ahead of our questions were answered very quickly. Unfortunately Rosi was during our stay even during the holidays. Although her deputy was nice, but could not provide information to us, because they practically did not understand English and had to call for any of our questions a girlfriend. The room was very small but adequate and the bathroom clean, the kitchen, the cleanliness was not that we wanted there to prepare a meal. Overall, the house is rather a bit grubby and unkempt. In addition, you have no idea how many people actually live there ... The location at Stratford station with two metro lines and the giant Westfield shopping center are close to tiptop. So overall for the price quite good.
Im Vorfeld wurden unsere Fragen sehr schnell beantwortet. Leider war Rosi während unseres Aufenthaltes selbst in den Ferien. Ihre Stellvertreterin war zwar nett, konnte uns aber nicht Auskunft geben, da sie praktisch kein Englisch verstand und für jede unserer Fragen einer Freundin telefonieren musste. Das Zimmer war sehr klein, aber okay und die Badezimmer sauber, in der Küche war die Sauberkeit nicht so, dass wir dort eine Mahlzeit zubereiten wollten. Insgesamt ist das Haus eher etwas schmuddelig und ungepflegt. Ausserdem hat man keine Ahnung, wie viele Gäste eigentlich da wohnen... Die Lage nahe beim Stratford-Bahnhof mit zwei U-Bahn-Linien und das gigantische Westfield Shopping-Center sind tiptop. Also insgesamt für diesen Preis recht gut.
Another positive is the favorable price and within easy walking proximity to the train station / metro Stanford. Despite a renovated bathroom all seemed a bit unkempt and unloving. Wallpaper coming off the wall, drains do not function. The room we had booked was not up to encountered. Apart from the cleaning lady, we have no one encountered by the staff.
Positiv zu bewerten ist der günstige Preis und die fussläufige Nähe zum Bahnhof/U-Bahn Stanford. Trotz eines renovierten Badezimmers wirkte alles etwas ungepflegt und lieblos. Tapeten kommen von der Wand, Abflüsse funktionieren nicht. Das Zimmer, welches wir gebucht hatten entsprach nicht dem vorgefundenen. Außer der Putzfrau haben wir niemanden vom Personal angetroffen.
Room was swapped with larger room in a different house, further away from public transport.
Rosi was very kind to pick us up, show the area. Room and house was very clean, good size room with own fridge in room.
Good proximity to public transport (Altough further away than original booking)
It's my home in london: confortable,clean,near Stratford station and Westfield .
Rosi is affable and available.
Has been a wonderful stay un London. Confortable room, quiet and charming in victorian house. The bathrooms and kitchen are shared but are clean and the garden is a peaceful place to resto after walking. It's just 10 minutes away from great shopping centers and the metro estación connecting directly to the center of London.
Rosy is a very nice person.
In short great stay at an affordable price.
The only down side to this was the bathroom shower which was a task on its own, and after bathing I had to wait to make sure that the dirty water drains out completely. I loved the room however, with the window being open u could perceive the odour permeating from outside.
Rosi the host is fantastic! And I'd stay again regardless.

The almost $5 billion surplus generated by the Accident Compensation Commission (ACC) in the last financial year has caught the country by surprise.
As there's no such thing as good news, the ACC's turnaround has been labeled as "obscene" by some claimants on the receiving end of the group's "improved rehabilitation services".
I had the same reaction when my opening my ACC levy invoice this morning, prompting an internally-voiced obscenity.
True, my ACC impost has been cut back over the last couple of years but it still seems absurd relative to the risks incurred by sitting in a swivel chair.
The explanatory documentation, however, makes clear that most of my ACC levy - over 70 per cent - has been designed to provide "cover for non work injuries".
I need to get out more.
But while not much has changed for me risk-wise since I last complained about the levy in 2009, ACC itself has been through some miraculous transformations.
In fact, the 2009 result is almost an exact inverse image of the latest ACC figures with a loss reported then of about $4.5 billion.
This year's result, representing a close to $10 billion reversal of misfortune in just four years, suggests there's some latitude in interpreting short-term figures for such a long-term enterprise as ACC.
Much of the current ACC buoyancy is due to improved investment conditions and revised interest rate assumptions.
Interestingly, the ACC investment strategy is weighted toward "long duration" New Zealand bonds, which, tend to lose value when interest rates rise, as has been the case this year.
The investment section of the ACC annual report explains why interest rate moves cut both ways as far as claims liability modeling goes:
"The rise in New Zealand bond yields adversely affected our investment income this year, but it brings some relief in terms of the returns that we can anticipate from bonds in the future," the ACC report says. "In ACC's financial statements, this is reflected in a higher discount rate used to value ACC's claims liabilities, which in turn has a downward influence on the overall value of our claims liability."
Despite earning a respectable 9.89 per cent over the last financial year (surprising the ACC "in a year when long-term bond yields rose by 0.7 per cent"), the report does acknowledge that could look anaemic compared to other investment entities.
"Our return for the 2012/13 year probably lagged the returns achieved by some other funds that have a greater amount invested in equity markets and don't have the large investment in long-duration bonds that ACC holds to help match its liabilities," the report says.
That said, ACC invests about 40 per cent of its fund in equities, of which it manages most of the Australasian shares and some global stocks in-house.
And while across its entire portfolio the ACC fund is New Zealand-heavy (it owns about 3.5 per cent of NZX shares, for example), the sheer flood of money coming its way over the next few years could force it more offshore.
"As ACC's total investment funds continue to grow over time, it will not be possible to maintain the same percentage allocation to New Zealand investment markets without holding a bigger and bigger slice of those markets," the report says. "This could make it increasingly difficult for ACC to outperform the market as a whole. This is a key consideration when deciding how our allocation to investment markets should evolve over time."

There are a ton of great tips in some of the older threads on this site so do some digging. But the biggest tip I will give you is SAFETY FIRST. While very stable.... it is possible to fall out and even tip them over. Life jacket.... suck it up and wear it. Orange flag.... don't leave home without it. True layout boats need a Tender... Unless hunting just off shore in shallow water.
Buy it. If you are willing to learn the tricks, safety, and open water laws.... This is a very rewarding style of waterfowl hunting.

In the interest of trying to pull all the great ideas included in this thread together, I've revised the original post by Ahartz and integrated nearly all of the other suggestions/tips/ideas below. I hope this information proves useful for some of the newer guys. I know that I've picked up a couple new ideas and will be adding them to our layout rig. Good Luck to all and be safe.
SOLAS, LAYOUT DUCK HUNTING SUBSECTION-Hartz
"The SOLAS Convention in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships. The first version was adopted in 1914, in response to the Titanic disaster, the second in 1929, the third in 1948 and the fourth in 1960."
This is the convention that dictates basic equipment and actions that will be deployed during navigation, boarding a watercraft, etc…I have adopted this idea for layout hunting.
Basic Equipment List
A. Tender Boat Gear
• PFDs, recommend lifejackets or inflatable suspenders for each person aboard
• Paddle
• Flares
• VHF Radio
• Fire extinguisher
• Cell phone
• Horn
• At least 1 12V bilge pump and one Manual bilge pump as back-up
• 2 Anchors with lines, one with a easily seen float, the other is a back-up tender anchor
• Small tool set
• Emergency phone number card
• EPIRB ( The ultimate mayday call)
• Long handled fishing net, to retrieve your dead birds, works best.
• 4 foot or longer boat hook
• Dry bag with change of clothes
• Sharp knife in easily visible and accessible location near stern of vessel
• A good pair of binoculars.
B. Layout Boat
• Two (2) anchors with line including an extra line on the back anchor with a crab pot float on the other end.
• One or Two PFD's (depending on one or two man layout), the self-inflating horseshoe PFD's are perfect for this application
• VHF Radio
• Flares
• Cell phone
• Hand operated bailer/pump, and sponge/cup for bailing
• Flashing light.
Layout Hunting 101 and More
The act of hunting layout hunt is by definition dangerous. In order to keep things as safe as possible I offer this refresher for newbies and veterans alike. If we layout hunt together this season I expect that you will have read the following more than once and are familiar with it. You never know when your role as guest may change to lifesaver, pay attention…
We set the boat with two anchors one anchor off the back, where the wind comes over the back of the boat, and one off the front to keep the boat from yawing back and forth. The rear anchor is the one bearing the weight of the boat. These lines angle down into the water to the anchor and due to this they are very susceptible of getting caught in the tender boat's propeller. The decoys will then be deployed on the motherlines parallel to the layout boat. A large approach area for the tender will be left on the right side of the layout boat, as we approach it, into the wind, one person in the tender will grasp the inside cockpit edge of the layout, WITH BOTH HANDS, and hold on to the layout. At this point you will likely be on your knees in the tender for increased leverage. The importance of having both hands on the layout at this point is critical and cannot be stressed enough. One hand on the layout and this is what happens…the tender boat will pivot on your one hand in the wind and all of sudden you scream can't hold on cause the broadside of the tender boat is caught in the wind and now it's too late for two hands. If you're the approach person, two hands always. One person holds onto the layout boat while another gently puts one foot in the layout boat and then swings the other in and sit's down immediately. Someone else will hand you the items you have ALREADY set aside for use in the layout. Now is not the time for searching your backpack for shells, cig's, gloves etc…put it in your pocket before we approach if you want it. There is little room in the layout for blind bags and the like. When we raft off the layout we want to spend as little time there as possible. Guns go in the layout cased. Empty cases go behind the backrest. Once in the layout get comfortable, your boots should go just to the end of the bottom board when laying down. Get the guns out, DO NOT load until the tender is out of range. Load up and lay down. Your gun lays on the outside of the boat. I put mine so that the butt of the stock is up at about my chest. Guns rested on the inside of the boat could shoot a foot and puts holes in the boat. Your eyes should be about water level, don't be afraid to LAY down, get low. Work the birds, when the birds land or fly within the decoys, they are plenty close enough to be shooting at, you'll know when. When you have shot a bird radio the tender and then if conditions will allow, talk the tender into the downed bird, tell us if it is crippled or dead. If the wind is blowing or whatever, point with whole arm where the bird went down. Whenever the tender boat approachs the layout for a person exchange all guns should be empty, ALWAYS. On the layout will be a VHF marine radio, flares and one of the hunters should have a cell phone.
Tending to the Layout - The only job of the tending crew is the safety of the layout. The lives of the layout hunters literally rests with the tending crew. Keep binoculars handy and use them to keep a really good eye on the gunner(s) from your tending area and be ready to move on a moment's notice. Conditions can change rapidly and the tender must be able to respond. The tender will be moored off a buoy that is attached to the anchor, look for the buoy and there will be a clip that is clipped to the bow eyelet. Grab the anchor line with the hook, leaning out over the gunwale of the boat leads to falling out of the boat, use the hook. Now just watch the layout. The layout boat can be very difficult for other vessels to see in choppy conditions, so be vigilant for other vessels approaching the layout rig, and be ready to intercept them if necessary. The layout should always be approached from downwind so that the tender is running into the wind. The side of the tender that is open, the opposite side of the helm station, will be layed up against the boat. Tender crew grabs the layout with TWO HANDS and the swap begins. At the end of the hunt, before leaving the layout, pull the front anchor. Then once everyone is in the tender, it is easy to snag the crab pot float with the boat hook, pull the anchor and then pull on the anchor line to get the layout to the boat. I don't like being right next to the layout in 3' waves swiping the boat hook under the back of the layout trying to snag the anchor line. This way you can be 10' away snag the crab float and then bring the layout to you. Always go SLOW in the tender, when anywhere near the layout. The last thing you want to do in 1' waves where the spray curtain is all the way down is send a 3' wake at the layout and put 20gallons into it to start the day.
If you come hunting with us I expect that you have read this document and are thoroughly familiar with it. I understand that you may be along as a guest but one never knows when due to unforseen circumstances roles change and all of sudden the "guest" becomes the only person who can save someone or every one. The most critical items to remember are as follows:
• When tending the layout, two hands must be used at all times while swapping hunters.
• Be very cognizant of gun safety. The layout is tight, get comfortable and be safe.
• If you are uncomfortable hunting in the current conditions, SAY SOMETHING. I do not want to read the fear in your face.
• If you have questions - ASK, I can't read your mind. We all asked the same questions at some point.
• The VHF radio emergency channel is 16, if things go bad, call "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY" duck hunters in trouble and give approximate location, wait for the US Coast Guard to respond.
• Above all listen and instantly comply with orders of the captain. If the business hits the fan I do not have time to explain things, just do it.
Lessons learned the hard way:
1. Pay attention to the marine forecast (not the TV weather report) - more often than not they will get it right. It's updated about every 8 hours, check the update while you're on the water. It can change and that change could make a huge difference. Watch the weather like a hawk, be prepared to leave your gear if it gets nasty, and have all escape routes pre-planned (bays, islands, etc). Make sure you are not picking up in seas that are too big for your tender\mother boat. We've found it becomes too difficult to control the tender boat in the approach and transfer of hunters at the layout boat if the winds get too strong. We are most comfortable with waves about 1 foot. We can and do hunt in 2 foot chop, but anything more becomes NO fun for our crew, and if it's not fun anymore, then there really isn't any point to being out there.
2. Make sure that ONLY the experienced boater/layout hunter drives the tender boat. We have many visitors hunt with us, but only 3 of us that drive the tender (and Ahartz is one of them). With a 2 man layout, we can still take turns hunting/tendering.
3. Keep a sharp knife (in a case) very close to the back of the boat - it will be needed when you get a decoy line or mother-line wrapped up in the prop, which will happen eventually. If you're lucky it will happen when it doesn't end up with waves coming over the back of the boat. In fact, it's not a bad idea to have everyone carry a knife capable of cutting lines loose from harm's way during the hunt. When an anchor line captures a prop, it seems it only takes seconds for a boat to be turned downwind, allowing waves to begin swamping the boat over the transom.
4. PFD's - Wear a life jacket as soon as you get out of your vehicle, and don't take it off until you get back to your vehicle. It's a good idea for the tender boat guy to keep a PFD on while he's alone in the tender. The suspender type inflatables are comfortable, easy to put-on/take-off, and don't take up much room in the boat.
5. Have at least 1 working 12V system bilge pump and the more the better. Some guys run 2, in case one fails. Buy the Rule brand, they are the best, less prone to freezing and getting fouled with debris. Also keep a big manual pump in the tender as a final back-up option.
6. I've added a large magnet to the gear list, which hopefully I'll never need to use to grapple for a gun on the bottom. Keep your guns cased in floating cases until you're ready to lay down in the layout boat.
7. Have a 2nd line on main anchor to be able to pull your layout in without a struggle.
8. Instead of grabbing the layout boat with your hands right off the bat from the tender, utilize a short, sturdy 4ft boat hook until the crafts are securely together and moving as one in the water. The movement between the two boats can be a pinch point for limbs until they are touching securely. Boat hooks also come in handy for line handling in the decoy pickup process too.
9. NEVER, NEVER step on the deck of the layout boat while switching. The boats can move, the layout boat can roll, and the deck will be wet and slippery!
10. Clipping a line to your gun only seems logical during the hand off. Even if you have it in a floating case and you leave it cased, it's cheap insurance.
11. Keep a bright orange flag in the layout boat so you can wave off other boaters/fishermen. Guys going out perching may not be thinking about guys in layout rigs. Some layout boats really disappear in the waves if there is a good chop. We have had a few close calls, where the flag really paid off and alerted others to our presence.
12. Develop a system of hand signals that everyone in your party understands and can recognize immediately. In case a radio goes to the bottom, batteries die, or any other type of emergency that renders the radio(s) inoperable/fails. We use as follows as our non-verbal communication.
a. A shotgun straight up in the air vertically means, bird down on the water. No sense in running the tender in if there are missed shots.
b. Hold the shotgun in the air horizontally means, comes get me. Whether the gunner in the layout boat is ready for a switch, or there is a problem...it doesn't matter....get in there and get the gunner out of the layout boat.
13. NEVER, NEVER...leave the dock without a secondary anchor on board the tender boat.
14. Take your time.
15. Whenever possible, set up and pick up the rig while it is light out. Particularly when the weather is ugly.
16. Learn the winds, currents and locations you want to hunt. Backwash is the killer of any layout rig. A quick switch of wind direction, and a great day, becomes very bad. If the backwash starts...get the heck out of dodge.
17. Keep your tender organized, no crapola on the floors or seats in the way.
18. If you hunting during freezing conditions - keep 50 lbs. of sand in the tender to use if the boat floor becomes ice covered. I also keep 100 pounds of sand in the truck for frozen boat ramps.
19. Live to hunt another day. When the weather turns ugly, leave the decoys and layout and get to shore. Do NOT hestitate. The rig isn't going anywhere. For gosh sakes, get the guy out of the layout first and foremost. Then go to shore, empty all your duck crap out of the tender, and go out to recover your gear with an empty boat when the conditions allow. Remember you can always replace a layout boat and decoys, buy not your hunting buddies.
Dogs and layout hunting – The dog stays home. Sorry, but they're just in the way when it's serious layout hunting time. You don't need them anyways. A four-foot long landing net would be far more efficient as the tender would have to bring the dog into the fray anyways. You can bring your dog and let him just watch, but isn't that really more torture for the beast than anything else. Big water is too dangerous for the dog, and you. (wouldn't want to try pulling wet dog back in boat, in 10 FOW)...
A few closing thoughts -
• Layout hunting should ideally be done by boaters who like to hunt. Not duck hunters who only use boats to chase ducks. So many duck hunters are not boaters. First and foremost you are out on open deep water in November. Some days we see no one else on the water.
• Don't let sight of those birds constantly working 3 miles offshore tempt you to try and sneak out there on a day with offshore winds 15 to 25 knots and gusting to 35.
• Now for the most important piece of equipment on the boat - the personal EPIRB. Made by ACR, compact enough to fit into a pocket, it sends out the 406 radio signal and GPS coordinates. Often refered to as a PLB. Cheap - only $500- seriously think of how much the other stuff costs - $1,000 layout boat (atleast), $1,000 gun, tender boat, decoys, clothes etc.....Think about it.
• Many of the ideas/suggestions included here have been learned the hard way, by guys just like you, that ended up getting really lucky and making it back to shore when things easily could have ended up with Coast Guard Search and Rescue efforts. Each of these tips could potentially save your life or that of a fellow hunter, and help you avoid many of the close-calls that so many of us have experienced over the years. But remember, even if you used everyone of these tips, you still could find yourself in a situation for which you are not prepared. Please be safe and wise everyone. If you layout hunt, print out these tips. Bring them up for discussion now with your hunting buddies. Start preparing for the worst and make that part of the good times we bond with. You can never be too cautious or have too many backups.

Layout-Set ups & Rigging
Here's the set up we use. There are a few things to note:
1. We use 200-250 decoys but you can typically do a good job getting started with about 4-6 dozen. I'd go with
BlueBills & Cans as my first purchase......along with at least ONE Goldeneye Drake and at least ONE Buffy
Drake. One of each is truly "magic".
2. Notice that I've shown the "shore". This is critical if you want Buffy & GE. We did a lot of work for 3 months
with the USFWS and this is what we observed 100% of the time. The Buffy were always on the "shore side" of the
rig of Bluebills & Redheads and the Goldeneye were always on the "lake side" of the Bluebill & Redhead.
Why........I don't know but I know that's the way they are. Both BFY & GE will come right down the center of the
rig and then swing to "their own", giving you a nice coming in shot and a crossing shot.
3. Also, be aware that these divers come in Low to the Deck and will almost always "lift" up and you'll think they
are flaring. What they're doing is checking for landing zone. If you let them, they will come in, lift up and then
drop right into the rig.
4. Definitely use a call for divers. It will work wonders and it's the only way to draw them in to you if it's foggy.
5. Note that we have open spaces around the boat and behind it. These are passage zones for the tender boat so the
tender can come in on either side of the layout and escape whichever way is necessary out the back.
6. We use a "blocker" line of big scoters and eiders. We get these birds into Lake St. Clair so it makes sense to use
them but they are also there to "tell" the birds to "drop down". It's kind of the "end of the line".
7. We use 125' mother lines (1/4" Black, New England Line) with heavy duty carabeener clips on the end with the
upwind clipped to an 8 lb. mushroom and the downwind clipped to a sash weight. We put 12-14 decoys on a
mother line, clipped to loops in the line. We will often clip two lines together. The decoys have a 3' dropper of 1/8"
military parachute chord. Tie a bowline to the deke and a bowline to the 5" lobster line clip and the clip goes onto
the loop in the mother line. This keeps the mother line about 3' below the surface and away from you prop. Prop
caught in a mother line will kill you.
If you are hunting deep water, merely keep "deep extender lines" (Loop on end and carabeener the other end)
available to merely clip on when needed.
I never use single dekes. We lost a lot of single rigged dekes in a storm. It was so dark at 1pm in the afternoon that
we had to use a spotlight to find the dekes. Mother lines were easy to find but the individual dekes were lost to the
storm (all hand painted E. Allens)
8. We put all our decoys (still rigged) into 55 Gal. Plastic Drums with holes drilled in bottom for drainage and 2
fold down, carriage handles (home depot) riveted onto the drum. When retrieving, we set the sash weight into the
bottom (still clipped to mother line) and start feeding all the decoys down into the drum. You don't have to worry
much about order.......it takes care of itself for the most part. When you get to the end of the line, remove the
upwind 8# mushroom anchor, place the anchor in a milk crate with other anchors and clip the carabeener to the
handle. Voila.
When setting decoys, unclip the carabeener and clip on the mushroom anchor and drop at the uppermost, upwind
end for the set. As you drift down, you can set the dekes. As you remove the dekes from the drum..........do NOT
grab the decoys and pull them from the drum. Grab ONLY the mother line...and the decoys will follow and not get
tangled. If you lift the decoys out, they will not be in sequence and you will tangle. When you've set the entire
rig, hold the sash weight for a bit to stretch the mother line (it will also right any decoys that are upside down) and
then drop the weight.
Now, move upwind again to set the next line..............etc.
9. Don't set your rig in the dark. That's a sure way to get tangled in your mother lines and then you're in big
trouble.....it can kill you. Divers move all day long. Wait to see where they want to be and then set up there or at
least "pre scout" and set up as early as you have light to safely set the rig.
10. Carry a true Ship to Shore radio in every boat and have a backup if necessary. The coast guard doesn't like cell
phones though they are better than nothing. A ship to shore radio can be triangulated by the Coast Guard and they
can find you in an instant and that matter of minutes can be the difference between life and death.
11. Use a large Danforth anchor for your upwind boat anchor and a mushroom or small navy anchor as your
downwind anchor. The Danforth will keep your layout boat in the proper place in the rig. The smaller downwind
anchor can be pulled in and reset to adjust to a changing wind.
12. Be safe out there.....most duck hunters (especially layout shooters) don't realize how close to dying we are out
there all the time. We're in a harsh environment and at a harsh time of year. Nature is unforgiving.......be safe.

Stranger Slaps Crying Toddler on Plane
(KARE) The family of a Minnesota boy allegedly slapped by a fellow passenger on a flight to to Atlanta is speaking out.
"I could not believe he would say that and then hit him," said Jessica Bennett. "I felt like i was in another world. I was shaking."
The 19-month-old boy's mother, Jessica Bennett, said the shocking incident has caused a great deal of emotional trauma for the entire family.
The incident allegedly happened February 8 while Bennett and her son were on a Delta flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta. Bennett says the man sitting next to her, Joe Rickey Hundley of Hayden, Idaho, became increasingly obnoxious and appeared intoxicated during the flight.
"He reeked of alcohol," recalls Bennett. "He was belligerent and I was uncomfortable."
As the plane descended to land in Atlanta, Bennett said her son started crying due to the pressure change. According to court documents, Bennett alleges Hundley leaned over and said, "Shut that [N-word] baby up!" before slapping the child near the boy's eye. Bennett said the slap caused her son to bleed and cry even harder.
"[Joe] Hundley's comments were racist and hateful," said Bennett in a statment released by the family. "We have numerous questions about how a passenger could get so violently out of control as to assault a toddler."

there was a kid who used to frequent THEE Thread in the very very beginning, he had a huge crush on Blondie (Amanda) I forget her board name honestly lol, but MMB's now wife (god bless her soul) anyhow...he was quite socially awkward so me and MMB used to try to help the kid out, he had some terrible stories...prom date left him for another guy during the prom etc etc.
he pretty much never got outta the house but he was a good kid just worried too much about what other people thought I think.
anyhow, we invited him out to the games told him we'd pay for the tickets and the flight and have a place for him to stay all that stuff, but he always came up with lame excuses (school being one of them) Amanda actually used to talk to him on the phone occasionally, he lived near Dover Delaware if I remember correctly...I'm a nascar fan and there is a race out there where he lives he talked about how close he was to it and I was going that year and offered to hang with him...as usual excuses excuses.
eventually I guess he did end up finding people to hang out with off this site because I haven't seen him around in years...but some of the stuff he said was down right depressing and we would all try to help the kid out.
except Morehead...he hated the kid and told him not to listen to us :P
What the hell Mh? you hated him? He never did anything to anyone. lol
Dwight Freeney says playing for the Giants "would be a dream." More coming a little later.
Forget it people. He'' probably end up in NE or Atlanta.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

In addition to building things and playing games, GeekDad is clearly a fan of movies. We geeks have a vested interest in raising our kids on the finer points of the Force and Patronus. It is in our best interest to make sure the next generation understands that where we are going, we don't need roads.
Unfortunately, the cue the movie industry provides as to what is kid-appropriate — [G] does not stand for "Geeky" — is the MPAA ratings system, a flawed process that assigns a code to suggest a minimum age for viewing a film. The various contributing factors are conflated into a single rating that can sometimes miss the mark, hiding the nuanced information parents need to match their style with movie choices for their children.
As an alternative to MPAA, many parents rely on other resources to help guide viewing decisions. GeekDad has a "10 Things Parents Should Know" series of movie reviews for our domain. Kids-In-Mind has long been a resource my wife and I have consulted when we're on the fence about letting our children see a particular movie. KIM provides an exhaustive list of potential content triggers in three major areas of concern, but often includes spoilers by providing that detail. IMDB's Parents Guide, Parent Previews and Common Sense are similar tools for pre-screening borderline films. Continue Reading "Crowdsource Your Family Movie Night With OK.com" »

Another ObamaCare mandate we had to discover after its passage
posted at 12:00 pm on March 28, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Nancy Pelosi told the public that we'd have to pass ObamaCare to find out all of the surprises Democrats had loaded into it. Since its passage, we've discovered a number of them, including the elimination of a tax credit that kept seniors on private medication coverage that has forced publicly-held corporations like AT&T, Caterpillar, John Deere, and Verizon to take massive charges against this year's earnings. Earlier this week, the Associated Press discovered a new mandate, this time on chain restaurants, that is at once petty, paternalistic, and anti-growth:
A requirement tucked into the nation's massive health care bill will make calorie counts impossible for thousands of restaurants to hide and difficult for consumers to ignore. More than 200,000 fast food and other chain restaurants will have to include calorie counts on menus, menu boards and even drive-throughs.
The new law, which applies to any restaurant with 20 or more locations, directs the Food and Drug Administration to create a new national standard for menu labeling, superseding a growing number of state and city laws. President Barack Obama was expected to sign the health care legislation Tuesday.
The idea is to make sure that customers process the calorie information as they are ordering. Many restaurants currently post nutritional information in a hallway, on a hamburger wrapper or on their Web site. The new law will make calories immediately available for most items.
"The nutrition information is right on the menu or menu board next to the name of the menu item, rather than in a pamphlet or in tiny print on a poster, so that consumers can see it when they are making ordering decisions," says Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, who wrote the provision.
What's wrong with getting calorie counts? Nothing, really. As a Type II diabetic myself, it helps to know calories and carbs when planning meals or medication responses. A friend of mine, Col. Joe Repya, gave me a handy wallet-sized card shortly after my diagnosis that allows me to estimate carbs and calories while at home or away, and plenty of other resources exist for the same purpose, many of them on the Internet.
In fact, many chain restaurants already provide this information to consumers on the Internet. Just to take one example: Chili's. Their website features a prominent link to the nutritional information for their standard menu items. That's how I know that their Oldtimer burger is 1260 calories, including the fries, the lowest-calorie burger dinner they offer. The Jalapeno Smokehouse Burger w/ Jalapeno Ranch dinner comes in at a whopping 2,130 calories.
But let's be serious. No one who's seriously concerned about caloric intake is going to order the gigantic Jalapeno Smokehouse Burger w/ Jalapeno Ranch dinner. Most people have the common sense to know that big burgers and whopping mounds of fries will total a huge number of calories, no matter where one buys or makes dinner. Responsible adults can navigate a menu on their own to choose the healthier options, if they want to do so, without forcing restauranteurs to conduct the kind of lab analyses necessary to give accurate calorie counts for menus.
The impact on businesses will be disproportionate to their size. Large restaurant chains with standardized menus can handle this mandate less expensively per dinner sold, thanks to the economies of scale, which is why Chili's has the information on their national website. Chains under 20 locations will get exempt. But what about those chains with just over 20 locations?
Davanni's, a local pizzeria-sandwich restaurant with 22 locations around the Twin Cities, will now have to comply with this mandate. A caller to my Saturday show (who wished to remain anonymous) told my radio partner Mitch Berg during a commercial break that it will cost Davanni's approximately $200,000 to comply with the new mandate — just to start. Every menu change will require Davanni's to have the new or modified items re-analyzed, which means that Davanni's will probably resist adding new options for their customers. Meanwhile, larger chains with more economy of scale for such efforts such as Pizza Hut can do the tests once for all of their locations, keeping their prices lower for their customers — which they already do, thanks to consumer demand for the information.
Under those circumstances, will Davanni's feel compelled to keep the extra three locations open, or to scale back to 19 to avoid the mandate? Even if they do keep all of their locations, that $200,000 will now get spent on something other than new jobs for teenagers and adults, and customers will pay higher prices for their food. Local and regional chains with 15-19 locations have a big economic disincentive to expand any further. I don't know much about Davanni's bottom line, but I'm pretty sure that even though they make some of the best pizza and hoagies in the area, they don't have $200,000 lying around the pizza sauce to blow on lab analyses this year, or any other.
This is a fundamentally anti-growth policy — and in service of what? A federal mandate to treat adults like children, as though someone buying a pizza might be under the delusion that they're ordering health food. That's not even considering the question of jurisdiction on chains like Davanni's which don't cross state lines, and therefore shouldn't have to answer to federal regulators at all. This is a textbook case of elitist snobbery trumping common sense, where the governing elite just assumes that Americans can't decide for themselves what foods to eat.
When considering this, it reminded me of the classic Monty Python sketch "Crunchy Frog." Here's the clean version:

China Worries Hit Energy Stocks
Energy stocks were declining along with much of the market today. Crude oil futures fell on worries over demand from China, as the nation's GDP growth missed analysts' estimates.
Energy names were down across the board: Big oil was in the red, with ExxonMobil (XOM) falling 0.4% and Chevron (CVX) down 0.7%. ConcoPhillips (COP) was nearly flat in morning trading.
Elsewhere, coal and natural gas stocks were also falling. Consol Energy (CNX) was off 3.2% in recent trading as Patriot Coal (PCX) tumbled 4% and Chesapeake (CHK) lost 3.5%.
Services stocks were also losing ground: Baker Hughes (BHI) and National Oilwell Varco (NOV) were both recently down 1.5%

Magnesium Chelate is formulated to potentially ensure your body has an adequate amount of this essential mineral. In order to understand magnesium's importance' one must understand what the term "essential mineral" means. An essential mineral is a nutrient that our body needs for the development and proper function of certain body parts and processes in addition to sustaining life. However' the catch is that our bodies can't synthesize (or produce) it naturally like it can with some other substances. This means that we must get the proper amount of magnesium through our diet.
The problem is that this relies on the idea that we are able to consistently eat a nutritionally balanced diet. The reality is that it's extremely easy to eat poorly these days. That's why nutritional supplements like Magnesium Chelate can be a great help in filling these nutritional gaps.
Let's talk about the potential benefits of magnesium chelate. Like calcium' another essential mineral' magnesium is present in significant quantities in our bones. This means that maintaining healthy magnesium levels most likely coincides with supporting bone health. There is also some evidence that magnesium may help support cardiovascular health due to the fact that a poor intake of magnesium could potentially cause high blood pressure.
Magnesium chelate may also play a role in muscle relaxation by blocking calcium channels that cause muscle contractions. Some people also use magnesium as a possible laxative since the mineral helps to nullify stomach acid and move stool through our body.
Magnesium Chelate also features a blend of glandular tissue concentrates that may offer health benefits.

Wild enthusiam which is both inappropriate and false. Fake hustle is usually produced in the face of failure, fear, or extreme boredom. It is easily noticeable at speeches by Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-il and at corporate marketing retreats. Fake hustle also plays a prominent role in sports, where it is used to conceal basic incompetence.
Sprinting back to the dugout after a strike out is a wonderful example of fake hustle.
by Christie Malre April 20, 2008
Originally a sports term referring to players not giving 100%; more prominently used to describe trickery, swindling, or any form of cheeky shenanigans. Popularized by NBA Analyst Mark Jackson.
Vince Carter was fouled hard in the face, apparently having one contact-lense knocked out. While slowly making his way towards the foul line, he could be seen blinking his left eye and looking up towards the lights. After continuing to show signs that he could not see straight, VC took the ball, knocked down both foul shots, and jogged away laughing, pointing at Mark Jackson on his way back down the court. That's fake hustle.

Pseudo-affectionate name of new Pope Benedict XVI, whose given surname, Ratzinger, was cleverly clipped and added to "papa," Italian for "pope," perhaps to suggest the celebrity-seeking, camera-clutching "paparazzi" of the last fifty years.
Can you believe that the conclave of cardinals at the Vatican elected Joseph Ratzinger to be the next pope? I wonder if Papa Ratzi knows that his new nickname means "annoying flies" in Italian.
