Erik Hinds, left, founder of Solponticello Records, will release his latest album titled ''Khonsay'' alongside a new solo release titled ''Conasauga'' from Georgia Guitar Quartet member Kyle Dawkins and ''Heart of a Woman'' by Julie Powell. There'll be a CD release party for the three at Flicker on Saturday, with Hinds, Dawkins and Powell all performing. ''Erik likes to put out music that doesn't necessarily fit comfortably into the mainstream,'' notes Dawkins of Hinds, regarding the label's offerings which extend far beyond rock 'n' roll.Special
Erik likes to put out music that doesn't necessarily fit comfortably into the mainstream,'' says guitarist/composer Kyle Dawkins of Erik Hinds, mastermind behind Athens-based Solponticello Records.
Known for releasing recordings by local artists such as world folk duo Dromedary, free jazz outfit SS Puft and the astute pop group Riveter, Solponticello caters to music with a vocabulary that extends far beyond rock 'n' roll.
Now 2 years old, the label celebrates the release of its 10th, 11th and 12th titles Saturday night with a CD release party at the Flicker Theatre.
Dawkins will be performing selections from ''Conasauga,'' a collection of original guitar and banjo compositions intended to communicate the terrifying beauty of the North Georgia wilderness.
''I wanted to create a feeling of being lost in the woods,'' Dawkins says of the inspiration behind the album. Dawkins studied guitar at the University of Georgia School of Music and is an original member of the Georgia Guitar Quartet. Members of that acclaimed local group join him on ''Conasauga.''
Not long after receiving his degree, Dawkins moved to Atlanta to accept a teaching position and attempted unsuccessfully to begin recording this album. He says it wasn't until he returned to Athens a few months ago ''Conasauga'' actually came to be.
''I think the album is a knee-jerk reaction to living in Atlanta,'' he says. ''I really wanted to get out of the city.''
Sprinkled with the subtly Latin sounds of nylon-stringed guitar, the backwoods purity of banjo chords and a quiet and minimalist Oriental undertone, ''Conasauga'' conveys moments of ominous chaos, glorious serenity and charming playfulness.

Hinds' own album, ''Khonsay,'' is also being released this evening. Featuring original compositions performed by members of the Georgia Guitar Quartet and SS Puft conducted by Julie Powell, ''Khonsay,'' which in the Boro language means to handle a rare object with care, is arranged in three distinct movements: ''Coronach'' is an ancient Scottish or Irish lament for the dead performed by the Guitar Quartet; ''Diorama Octet'' features guitar, drums, trumpet and h'arpeggione; while ''Individuation Suite'' is a somewhat experimental jazzy series performed by SS Puft.
''Everything was composed specifically with the players in mind,'' explains Hinds of the development of the album. ''I know their abilities and proclivities and tried to focus my writing toward what they're best at.''
Powell, who is also a Marquee correspondent, will take the stage to perform selections from ''Heart of a Woman,'' a collection of Southern spiritual tunes with a distinct honky-tonk edge. Frontwoman for pop outfit Riveter, Powell's powerful and clear voice shines on this record, which seems to pay homage to the very roots of country music.
Recorded with acclaimed local musicians such as Neal Fountain, Colin Bragg, Andrew Reissiger and Jeff Reilly, ''Heart of a Woman'' successfully marries tradition with originality.
Julie Powell will release ''Heart of a Woman''Special
''It happened very much in the moment,'' says Powell of the recording of the album. ''I think this has a lot to do with the freshness of the sound and how well the whole thing gels. There is a continuity and sense of rapport that could not have been orchestrated.''
Imbued with spirituality, the record is both cathartic and catchy, providing for a much needed ray of light in these troubled times.
''It's so strange in today's world to run across musicians who still play hymns just because they are beautiful,'' says Powell. ''I'm really glad my background in church music has found its way back into my current musical pursuits.''

Then and Now
Music is a great example of a dynamic art form. Each performer of a song brings their own personality and style to their interpretation of the composer's work. Over time a song can even come to resemble it's earlier versions in little more than name. A great example of this is the Michigan Tech Fight song.
This first version is a restoration of a 1948 recording of Warney Ruhl and His Band performing Fight Tech Fight, Engineers! Weighing in at 2:29 this recording is not only much longer than the 0:53 recording of the song (with tags) from the 2007 Album For Your Aural Pleasure. It is vastly different in style as well, with more of a march/polka feel. The modern version also features a Wind introduction, as opposed to the drum roll-off of the earlier version, and tags at the end in place of more repetitions of the main melody.
Personally I think the newer version is much Peppier, but perhaps I'm biased. Either way, it's interesting to see where we came from.

Main Ingredient: Fish Oil
Optimum Fish Oil Softgels is a natural supplement filled with Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Fatty acids are the basis of fats and oils, and, despite popular belief, are necessary for overall health. These fatty acids are termed "essential" because your body cannot manufacture them by itself. EFA's must come from food or supplemental sources. They are also essential because they are a component of every living cell in the body, and are necessary for rebuilding existing cells and the production of new cells.* Studies suggest fish oil supports healthy heart function and joint flexibility.*

Corinna!! Chopping it all off?? How short? What type of cut??
I thought my hair was going to feel dry, but then it was fine. Had a ton of LI and oil, though. I normally seal with MO, but the past week or so I've sealed with Vo5 hairdressing, which has MO in it, and I've had GREAT luck with it. So perhaps it's the combo of the two together.
Here again I wonder if the smoothie used with this might be beneficial? Idk.

Was the guy in the white shirt supposed to be showing him how to use the gun? I'd say he failed miserably! And again, why didn't someone try to help him, if possible?

Hard to tell what happened, no aide, no-one even checked him, he never moved again after the shot... which makes me wonder where he was hit.
No real information here.
Bizarre video. Watching it made me feel dirty, like I was watching a snuff film.
But my first thought was "why isn't anyone helping him?"
And next was "what the heck happened?"
It's very unclear what happened and what came after. Does anyone know the whole story?

After some Googleizing I think I may have found the story here, appears to have been a suicide.Man shoots self in head at Scottsdale gun rangeMan shoots self in head at Scottsdale gun range

A 20-year-old man who shot himself to death at a gun club Monday had been "fighting inner battles he couldn't control," an ex-girlfriend said.
Matthew Errico of Scottsdale shot himself in the head Monday evening at the Scottsdale Gun Club. Errico had recently been "trying to pray and contact God" for help, said Kristina Lucier, who dated Errico for 18 months.
"He was a great person and definitely impacted my life," Lucier said.
Errico was attending Scottsdale Community College as a business major and graduated from Phoenix's Pinnacle High School in 2005, according to his MySpace page. He moved to Arizona from Washington State when he was 14.
Also on his page is a picture of Tupac Shakur on a $100 bill with the words, "Live by the gun, die by the gun."
Police gave this account of Monday's incident: Errico entered the gun club, 14860 N. Northsight Blvd, around 7:30 p.m. and rented a semi-automatic pistol. He was given gun club instructions and paperwork before an employee lead him to the range to fire the weapon. The gun club requires people to watch a safety video and sign a release and waiver form before entering the gun range, according to its Web site.
Errico shot at a target for several minutes before facing the range master and shooting himself once in the head. He was pronounced dead at 8:20 p.m. at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn.
A suicide note was found on Errico, but police are not releasing details.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
Hóka-héy! Crazy Horse
That does not appear to be scottsdale gun club form the video.. SGC uses clear bullet resistant glass between the lanes. Not white dividers. I am a member and that doesnt even look close to it.
But stuff like this happens a lot. Its not uncommon for someone to go to the range rent a gun and shoot themselves. I always keep a loaded gun or one ready to go incase so yahoo like this tries to take out a few other people, and so do the range masters.
Remember folks CPR is for people not breathing and without a pulse, if you havent taken a CPR course dont attempt it. Chances are in a public place someone will have been properly trained in basic life support. The best thing you can do for anyone that is hurt is do not attempt to help them, even a professional out in the field without his tools cant do jack. Stand back call 911 ASAP, then if you have basic life support training asses the victim. If you try and treat first without calling 911 you have wasted time, and chances are your going to do more harm than good.
1- Bad CPR beats no CPR.
2- Dead is dead.
I have never had an instructor disagree.
If they are going to be dead before help gets there, you are their last hope. Of course, if it was a suicide and there is not much left of the face/head. CPR's not very possible.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun. And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son." Josh Thompson "Way Out Here"
One gun range I visited in L.A. wouldn't allow you to shoot on the same day you first showed up unless you had someone with you. If you were alone, you would fill out all the first-timer paperwork and then have to come back the next day to shoot.
"The flock sleep peaceably in their pasture at night because Sheepdogs stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Range rental is definitely becoming a new suicide route (death by rental gun). Happened several times here in FL in the last year or so. I don't even want to get into the "range liability" issues, but if a person is intend on killing themselves, no one's going to stop them. Any jurists should keep that in the forefront of their minds.

Yep. ^^
If a person is unconscious that is a in itself a medical emergency by definition.
Just because breathing ceases and your heart stops does not mean death is guaranteed, and attempt to revive if not resuscitate is a waste of time & effort.

What's a fashionable and affordable gift for my 18-year-old style-obsessed sister?
Like your first Brazilian, this is a daunting prospect and should be approached with aspirin and trepidation. Being 18 almost obligates you to be obnoxious and tricky (if you're 18, give yourself ten years and you'll know what I mean) and sometimes a bad present can mean months of additional teenage angst. Sidestep the problem with a sweatshirt. Cool last season, cooler next season and who doesn't want something with 'Bad Ass' written on it?

Suspension Training Systems: TRX, Rip:60 and others
Suspension Training System uses individuals' body weight at different angles to work wide variety of muscles groups, aiming at improving strength, balance, core control, flexibility as well as functionality.
So what is suspension training and what benefits does it bring over free weights or machines.
Suspension Training System uses individuals'
Suspension Training System allows replicating almost any exercise that you can do with free weights or cardio equipment but with at least half of your body suspended above the ground in an inherently unstable position. As a result you tend to work much more through your deep core muscles as well as engaging smaller stabilising muscles, which will not necessary be used to the same extend with the free weights or machines. On the other hand there is no lifting heavy weight from the floor, or other uncomfortable and awkward positions, making suspension training perfect for anyone with back pain. Suspension Training System is definitely not for someone looking at doing bodybuilding, but this training method is great for anyone looking at losing weight and increasing muscle tone, while reducing the risk of injury. Also this training system is just another way to add a bit more variety to the training plan, while trying to challenge your body in the whole different way.
Idealbody4life Personal Training team has been using Suspension Training System with some great results, helping many of our clients achieve their fitness goals sooner. If you would like to arrange a free consultation or to find out more please check out .idealbody4life.com

- View mobile version of interactive guide to White Night
From the edge of Alexandra Gardens along the Yarra River this evening, cast an eye across the water to Birrarung Marr and you might find yourself confronted with the sight of huge ghostly human heads appearing on the trees, with five sets of eyes staring back at you.
The work of internationally celebrated, Queensland-based projection artist Craig Walsh, Monuments – appearing for one night only as part of the all-night arts and entertainment extravaganza White Night – will see the foliage along the the riverbank lit up with faces, though none will be familiar to most, nor are they intended to be.
Intended to challenge traditional expectations of public monuments and the selective history represented in our civic spaces, Monuments depicts the ordinary people who occupy, and in their own way, contribute to these public spaces, but are never celebrated.
"I guess what I like about it is there's a much broader history and reason for the way we occupy public spaces, and I think that contribution maybe comes from a broader community than those making the decisions on town planning," says Walsh.
Monuments is a noiseless work; the subjects do not speak, or even move much, yet are curiously engaging."They're very sculptural, I really like that relationship, a lot of my works do deal with portraiture because it's sort of creating artwork that looks back at the viewer," says Walsh.
White Night organisers are confident a bigger footprint in the city centre and creating two ''high energy hubs'' will ease congestion during Melbourne's second annual all-night music and art festival, set to kick off at 7pm on Saturday.
And visitors have been warned to plan ahead to get the most out of the night with mobile and internet access set to be restricted as enormous crowds pour into the CBD.
The first White Night event in 2013 attracted more than 300,000 people, three times the attendance organisers had predicted. This year it is thought up to 500,000 people could descend on the city centre, which has seen organisers expand the event's footprint considerably.
White Night artistic director Andrew Walsh said the main music stage would move from the steps of Flinders Street station to the north of the city grid to help the flow of crowds. A smaller jazz stage, located in Degraves Street lin 2013, would be relocated to Bourke Street Mall for the same reason.
"Last year our intention was for it to be a full-on experience so we focused things in the Flinders Street area but this year we have two high energy hubs – one in the north of the city and one in the south," Walsh said.
One issue that hasn't been resolved yet is the lack of 3G bandwidth, which prevented many visitors from viewing the White Night website in 2013.
"With a large number of people turning up and not even ringing each other but sending texts and images – it just ties up the available bandwidth," Walsh said.
Printed programs would be distributed, but as with last year, organisers would not bank solely on them to keep audiences informed.
"I think the world is divided up into two lots of people: the planners and the journeymen," Walsh said.
"We are encouraging people to plan their night on the web first and then either print off a map from the web at home or pick up one of the printed programs.
"There's lots to do on the street but equally lots to take you off the street if that's what you'd prefer."
Projection artist Craig Walsh's Monuments will see trees along the Birrarung Marr riverbank host projections of five human faces.

Maximize your Power and Hitting Potential! The Impact Bat is a baseball / softball training bat that reinforces the proper hand position at contact. It gives instant feedback and creates proper muscle memory. Use it with wiffle balls, tennis balls or other lite balls. It is not designed for use with regular hard balls or softballs. This bat promotes rotational hitting mechanics and is endorsed by renowned hitting instructor Mike Epstein.
Instant Feedback and Understanding
If you swing and miss, or hit it into the ground, then you most likely rolled your wrists too soon. When you square it up with the Impact Bat, you will hit line drives. This gives you instant feedback and creates the proper muscle memory like all professional hitters.
With the square handle and the flat side, the Impact Bat reinforces proper hand position for square contact. It helps the player determine the square path to the ball without any thought. When someone swings the Impact Bat for the first time, they get an instant understanding of how the hands are supposed to be at contact. When the thumbs are placed on the bat, it helps the hitter understand how to get inside and behind the ball by giving the hands the mechanical advantage.
Too often players whip their hands through the strike zone to create bat speed, causing the wrists to roll over. This is a leading cause for ground balls, pop ups, and misses. All MLB players have their top hand palm up and the bottom hand palm down at impact to deliver the most force on the ball. The Impact Bat reinforces this position!
"This makes sense, the Impact Bat teaches a player proper hand position at contact. We use it with everyone we teach." - Mike Epstein, Major League Player from 1966-1974 and Owner of Mike Epstein Hitting.

Oregon consumers can now file claims to recover money due to court preliminary approval of multi-state settlements worth $310 million with all the major manufacturers of Dynamic Random Access Memory computer chips ("DRAM") for conspiring to fix their prices. Consumers who can submit claims include those who paid more for DRAM or for the many electronic devices that contain DRAM. DRAM is a common form of memory chip found in computers and other high technology devices.
In July of 2006, Oregon and 32 other states filed a complaint in federal district court against DRAM manufacturers for their alleged participation in a conspiracy to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize the price of DRAM at inflated levels in violation of antitrust, unfair competition and consumer protection laws. Oregon played a lead role in the multistate investigation which revealed that, from 1998 to 2002, the companies exchanged confidential information and agreed to quote inflated prices to customers. During that timeframe the companies sold at least $20 billion in DRAM chips within the United States.
The settlements, reached in conjunction with class actions, pay individuals and businesses that purchased DRAM or devices containing DRAM in the United States during 1998 to 2002 from someone other than a DRAM manufacturer, such as retailers like Best Buy or Staples. The settlements also require the DRAM manufacturers to implement antitrust compliance programs and enjoin them from certain conduct related to the sale of DRAM that would violate the antitrust laws.
State and local government entities are entitled to one-ninth of the Settlement Fund. Oregon government entities will receive funds as follows: 24% will go the state; 48% will go to local government entities; and 28% will go to public colleges and universities. The portion for local government entities will be split on a pro rata basis based on fulltime employee (FTE) census numbers, with a cut-off for any entities that would receive $50 or less. The portion for colleges and universities will be split based on current enrollment data. In addition, up to $48,000 will be set aside to reimburse the 12 Oregon entities for actual expenses incurred by participating in the expert survey, for their extra work in gathering their purchase data. These government entities should anticipate receiving funds from a separate portion of these settlements after final approval of the settlements.
To receive money from the settlement, eligible consumers need to submit a claim form by August 1, 2014 with the settlements' administrator. The amount of money received depends on the type and quantity of electronic devices a claimant has purchased, and the total number of claims made. Individuals who purchased DRAM or products containing DRAM are expected to get a minimum $10 payment and may end up receiving up to the amount of the overpayment they actually made due to the alleged price fixing.
Any consumer who purchased one or more of the following between 1998 and 2002 is eligible to make a claim:
If you purchased other technology devices also containing DRAM memory, you also may be eligible to make a claim.
Any payments resulting from the settlement cannot be made until the court has granted final approval to the settlements, including the resolution of any appeals.
For more information about the settlements and to file a claim, visit www.DRAMclaims.com or call 1-800-589-1425.

Gene Bartow, known as "The Father of UAB Athletics," died Tuesday evening at the age of 81 after a two-year battle with stomach cancer.
The Browning, Mo., native spent 34 years as a college basketball head coach and was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in November 2009. He was the head coach at six universities, compiling a 647-353 record. He directed Memphis State to the 1973 national championship game and went 52-9 in two seasons at UCLA, including another Final Four appearance, after the retirement of the legendary John Wooden.Click Here for the Full Story

Gene Bartow, the successor to John Wooden as UCLA basketball coach who became the architect of a new and successful athletics program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, died Tuesday evening. He was 81.
Bartow, who was diagnosed with stomach cancer two years ago, died at his Birmingham home, according to a university spokesman.Click Here for the Full Story
Memphis Athletics
Gene Bartow, the legendary college basketball coach and a native of Browning, Missouri, who led the 1973 Tiger basketball team to the NCAA National Championship Game against UCLA, has lost his long battle against cancer. Bartow, age 81, died on January 3rd at his home in Birmingham, Alabama.
Renowned as one of college basketball's most outstanding coaches, Bartow will long be remembered as a "true gentleman" of the sport. One of the most legendary athletic figures in the city's history, Bartow and his Tiger basketball teams have long been recognized for helping relieve racial tensions in the Bluff City following the death of Dr. Martin Luther King in 1968.Click Here for the Full Story
UCLA Athletics
Former UCLA Head Men's Basketball Coach Gene Bartow, 81, died Tuesday evening in Birmingham, Ala., after a two-year battle with stomach cancer.
Gene Bartow was named the UCLA head coach following Coach John Wooden's retirement after the 1974-75 season. In his first season (1975-76) at the UCLA helm, Bartow guided the Bruins to a 28-4 overall record and an eighth consecutive Pacific-8 championship (13-1). UCLA advanced to the Final Four for the 10th straight year and finished third. The Bruins finished the season ranked No. 5 in nation.Click Here for the Full Story

The man referred to as the father of UAB athletics has died. Gene Bartow passed away Tuesday after a two-year battle with stomach cancer. He was 81. The hall of fame coach lead teams at six universities, but it was at UAB where he really made his mark as the first mens basketball coach and first athletic director. WBHM�s Andrew Yeager has this remembrance.
Before he even set foot in Birmingham, Gene Bartow had an enviable record. He took what�s now the University of Memphis mens basketball team to the national championship game in 1973. He then succeeded legendary coach John Wooden at UCLA. And while that two-year stint in California included another trip to the Final Four, Bartow told WBHM in 2009 being in Wooden�s shadow was tough.Click Here for the Full Story

Coaches Fernando Clavijo and Jason Kreis substituted frequently, with most of the players limited to either 45 or 30 minutes. Only Nathan Sturgis of RSL played the full 90.
Defender Facundo Erpen, from a Terry Cooke free kick, and rookie Ciaran O'Brien, assisted by Jovan Kirovski, scored for Colorado. Yuri Movsisyan (from a Sturgis feed) and Fabian Espindola ( a deflected free kick) netted for RSL.
Defender Nat Borchers, who played three seasons for Colorado before departing to play for Odd Grenland in Norway two years ago, started for RSL and played the first hour. RSL used an allocation to secure his rights last week after he returned to MLS in a transfer from Odd Grenland, which was relegated last November. He'd been rehabilitating an ankle injury but joined the team in Florida in time to train and get in some minutes.
After two days of training at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the Rapids leave Thursday for a 10-day stay at Arsenal. The teams struck a marketing partnership a year ago, and one of the Rapids' recent hires, Gary Smith, will be tasked with setting up the Arsenal Center of Excellence at the Rapids' facility and the Arsenal Cup youth tournament.
RSL is also training at home for a few days prior to an international trip. The final camp of the season starts Saturday in Rosario, Argentina, where it will play three matches before returning March 13.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've taken the Amtrak from coast to coast and while I wouldn't say it was a bad experience there's some things to be prepared for. The damn thing stops more than you would think, it gets delayed a bit more than you would think too, and pack food as they rape you in the dining cabin.
Now the good thing is the seats even in 'coach' are like sitting in a double stuffed lazy boy that's extra wide. If you get a row that's empty it's easy to sleep in them. The lounge cabin is spacious and has an observation deck with lots of windows to look at nothing, because lets face it that's the most boring part of the journey.
With going to Fraser I'm not sure if the train actually runs in there or at some point you have to get off and they bus you in. Last time I checked when I wanted to do it, they bused you.
As far as driving goes. I've done parts of that drive mainly all the states that suck and it's not bad just boring as fuck. Depending on weather and winds you can actually pick up time. I made it from Western NY to Breckenridge in 21 hours, would have been 18 but the guy I was driving with decided to go slow once we hit the mountains for fear of wildlife.
As far as WP as a mountain, fuck that place. Seriously fuck it! Town sucks, mountain sucks, and the people are weird and I don't mean in they're mountain town weird I mean in the I smoked too much meth and molested my sister kind of weird way. But that's my .02 cents.
For lodging you could stay in the base area but you will be butt raped on prices for groceries and what not. I stayed out there at a bed and breakfast just outside of town (10 minute drive) that had a free shuttle it was about 45 a night if I remember correctly. Wasn't bad, had my own room with three beds, tv with cable, and bathroom. Plus they served breakfast in the morning.
Get the Rocky Mountain Super Pass if you're going that route as mentioned it will save cash.
Powder riding it's personal preference. If you're on a short board might benefit you guys to push your stances all the way back so you have more nose than tail, or just be prepared to rag doll as you learn how to do it. The good news is the snow is light and fluffy here so getting bogged down isn't as much an issue as if the snow is heavy and wet.
If you want a second option for a trip with cheaper lodging, food, and free transport I would say look at Summit County. You have 4 mountains on a free bus so getting too and from is easier, more grocery store options, still has fast food for the kids if you need to go that route, the season passes are cheap and if you went with the Epic Local you would have 2 resorts out in the Midwest you could go to as well Season Ski Passes | Compare Lift Ticket Passes | EpicPass.com As far as lodging there's a few b and b's that are cheap. Fireside Inn, The Bivy, or you could stay at one of the Motels/Hotels in Silverthorne/Dillon. Plus for nightlife you could take the kids to Woodward at Copper and let them bounce around on the tramps.
I know you're thinking CO another option I would toss out is Montana. Amtrak rights right into Whitefish/Big Sky area. See if there's any possibility of that as well since you have plenty of time to plan a trip accordingly.
|Seth lives in Summit/Eagle county but he became a bad ass by riding Crested Butte and the surrounding terrain of course.
Heres my outsiders view of Crested Butte. I dont know the original posters or his sons ability levels (sorry), but Ive been to Crested Butte twice (actually its the only place in Colorado Ive ridden), and while I had a great time overall, it was probably not the best choice of places for me at the time, because I wasnt at the skill level to take advantage of much of what it had to offer.
My third season snowboarding I managed to score a free season pass to CB, so thats why I ended up going there that season. I took two one-week-long trips. At the time I was, I guess, about a low intermediate. Previously I had been to Vermont numerous times and once to Tahoe and some medium-size hills in PA and NY. So it wasnt my first big trip out of the midwest by any means. The trouble for me at CB was that there didnt seem to be a steady progression of terrain to work my way up through. The greens and blues I was completely fine on. (This was after the Muellers took over, so all the blues were getting groomed. I understand that wasnt always the case.) Some easier black diamonds I was fine on too, but, more than other places Ive been, there seemed to be a huge leap in skills required going from the easier terrain to the more difficult stuff. Im not even talking the crazy double-black steeps and stuff the place is famous for. I even took some lessons to try to get some help, but this, I dont think, was the place for me to work out my issues.
Now, years later, with quite a bit more mileage under my belt, Id love to go back to CB and tackle stuff I didnt have the skills for back then. But that impression of mine remains that the easier to middle stuff I rode could have been anywhere and so much more was available to explore but it was completely out of my league.
This may or may not interest you, slyder, but there is a very nice hostel in CB. I stayed there on my second trip. (The first time I went with my father-in-law and we stayed at a motel.) I dont know if the hostel make sense price-wise for a group of three, but its worth looking into. They did have a sizable communal kitchen.
|Eliminating the need to have a job (wouldn't that be nice), if I could pick anywhere in CO to live, it just might be Crusty Butt. Crested Butte is fucking amazing.
I have never riden WP but if I'm around I will give it a shot.....
Get a place with a mini kitchen and buy groceries. We also live on clif bars some weekends as they are free for us during competition week.
None of this will help slyder but..... I know seth and I work with his mom, he likes the back country there. He very rarely rides the resort area. The back country looks great, he lives at a ski/sled to house about 7 miles out of town, you can ski some great lines off his porch with skin or sled approach. He spends way more time in vail, east vail and summit than he does in CB. He also has a home in summit county.
Crested Butte is a top 3 ski area in Colorado IMO. There is a reason Seth Morrison became the bad ass that he is. The area had a big hand in that. Plenty of very committing lines there. Most of which I have not done and will not do. The area is a test piece. The ski town is great. They also do not have front range lines, which Winterpark being a Front Range resort, does.
Slyder if you have a hook up there, don't overlook it. The surrounding backcountry is also amazing. Sled access or earn your turns style. CB has it in spades. The area will challenge you plenty.
The super pass deal would work good for you too. I also think you can swing a similar thing with CB. I do believe last year they got into the whole cheap pass war thing. Finally.
Anyway, it sounds like you have good options. Winterpark doesn't suck either.

Now I need to start putting dollar values into a spread sheet to tally up some estimates.
As far as lodging costs, the rooms at the base are obviously the most expensive. If you could afford it, I would definitely do it because that would be awesome to be able to walk out of the room and go straight to the lift. We have a time share, so I used that to stay at the Silverado II Resort in the town of Winter Park. There are free shuttles in town to get to the resort, so if you do stay in town, getting to the resort or back to town is not an issue.

I guess they changed it a little for next season.
You would get 20 tickets total (10 for each resort) that you can print out and give to whomever you like. You don't have to print out, you can just show your pass to the ticket window and you will receive the discount for the person getting the ticket. The tickets will cost $59 per person per day before 12/20 and $69 after 12/20. This season is was $59 all season long, so they upped it a little for peak times I guess.
I believe face value tickets bought at the window were $99 weekdays and $109 on the weekend (I could be wrong, I didn't buy any that way). So even if it was only weekday rates, you would still save quite a bit. If it we me, I would buy the pass and then have 10 passes for your 2 kids. You would save $300 in face value just for your kids for 5 days per kid (depending on ticket prices next season).
Last season was 50% off rental and 2 people in my party were renting, so that a bonus for me as well for buying the season pass. I ended up buying my kids season passes as well, but I really didn't save much money there because they only rode 4 days each.
Also, if I could only go out west for a week, or ride my home resort all season, I would pick out west. Before I went, I wouldn't have thought that would be the case. I had that much fun that a week out there beat 3 months of Indiana riding.
At some point, they sent me a 40% off the Freestyle lesson and that is when I booked it. Well worth the money in my opinion. Cro was so fun to be around and watch ride. Corrected some bad habits and helped with a few new tricks as well.
Thanks for the input from a fellow Midwesterner you can totally relate to what I ride
I will consider the Super Pass but I know for fact this will be my only trip of the year. This would take away any local trips as well. I need all my funding to pull this off.
Meeting up with Cro for a lesson for all 3 of us would be a dream. Meeting and riding with any member of the forum that lives out there would be great as well !!
Everyone is giving me great information !!
Note: Here is what I found on the Rocky Mountain Super Pass
2014/15 Rocky Mountain Super Pass™
•Unlimited skiing and riding at Winter Park Resort and Copper Mountain
•50% off walk-in rate at the Coca-Cola® Tube Hill at Winter Park Resort. Based on availability
•20 Friends & Family tickets. 10 for Winter Park and 10 for Copper. $59/day (open - 12/19) and $69 (12/20 - close). Valid for teen, adult, and 70 + season passes
•*Free one-year subscription to SKI magazine Click Here
•10% off full day group lessons at WPR
•40% discount on walk-in rates of ski or snowboard rental equipment (excluding lesson packages) for pass holder and up to 2 friends & family at Winter Park Resort
•10% off retail purchases at West Portal Outfitters, Columbia, Showcase Snowboards, and The Jane Shop at Winter Park Resort
•Free summer scenic chairlift rides at Copper Mtn.
•20% off Woodward at Copper Freestyle Lessons, Intro Sessions, Drop In Sessions and Skate/Bike Sessions
question on the 3rd point, does this mean I get 20 tickets to give to someone??? It lists pricing does that mean what each ticket is worth and what I would be saving per ticket OR I can buy that ticket for $50/day a little confusing

Dunno, whatcha got? Fried Chicken? If so.....fuuuuuck yeah!
I think its fixed yea but im happy for him it got him out of the ghetto so yea good for him man.
You can't use "getting out of the ghetto" as a way to excuse wrongdoing just like that. Where do you draw the line? "Yeah, sure, he was involved in people trafficking throughout the 90s and early 00's in Eastern and Central Europe, but it got him out of the ghetto, so good for him!"
If, indeed, that fight was a fix, I'm more concerned about the many people who paid to watch that shit - people who may yet still be "in the ghetto" themselves.
This horse is pretty high!
Whoa Lone Ranger, climb down off ya Tonto there! So you saying just because I peddle tetley teabags outside schools, even though it got me outta the ghetto, its not acceptable?
Or are we just talking about Kimbo here?

AMERICAN IDOL Booting Nicki Minaj Due to Attitude Issues?
Things might not be looking good for Ms. Minaj's return to AMERICAN IDOL.
Sources close to the IDOL crew confirmed to Hollywood Life that "the chances of Nicki returning to the show next season are slim to none, she is such a major headache with her behavior and it's really taxing on many people with the crew. So her behavior is wearing thin on many people this season."
The news comes after her infamous feud with fellow judge/diva Mariah Carey, and her inability to be on time.
However, if she is actually a "headache" to producers and execs, Minaj doesn't necessarily realize it. In an interview with BWW TV this week, she said: "I don't have a worst IDOL moment. I've been spectacular. Yes, I'm going to toot my own horn."
For the original report, head on over to Hollywood Life.
Nicki Minaj is a Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter and voice actress. Known for her underground mix-tape presence, Minaj garnered the attention of Lil Wayne, who signed her to his record label, Cash Money. She immediately rose to prominence when she released her debut album, "Pink Friday," in November 2010. It quickly became a commercial success, peaking at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA) a month after its release. She simultaneously became the featured "It" girl on a string of high-profile singles from artists such as Madonna, Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Drake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Ludacris, Justin Bieber, Trey Songz and Alicia Keys. Minaj also has become the first female solo artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Her seventh single, "Super Bass," has since been certified quadruple-platinum by the RIAA and has sold more than four million copies, becoming one of thebest-selling singles in the United States.

A Brief Madness (edition 2011)
by Karisha Kal'ee'ay
Work details
A Brief Madness by Karisha Kal'ee'ay
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The plot follows the wife of a deceased serial killer and along the way develops relationships with an unlikely group of relatives and friends. My main issue with the story was that it was just too unlikely. I didn't find the characters believable or relate-able. I also found the break in the middle of the story too drastic in terms of character development.
Overall this book was not for me; the writing style, the subject matter, the character development, I found it all lacking.
The story is also sadly in need of an editor. Some sections confuse time that was frustrating to read. Also, it was difficult at times to know who was speaking during dialogues. Simple things that just shouldn't happen in a published book and drives me crazy when it does.
The story premise has some potential and probably would have worked better at half the page count and only focusing on three or four characters, leaving out the confused characters and what I can only describe as added subplots that do nothing more than provide the reader with something to read - kind of like watching the halftime entertainment during the Superbowl, which really has nothing to do with the game itself.
This book was provided to me as part of Librarything's Early Reviewer program.
Richard dies of a heart attack while working in his allotment and what would have been an entirely personal tragedy for his family suddenly becomes big news when it is discovered that the fatal attack, in all probability, was caused by the effort of burying two young women, just the latest in a series of "never over two a month".
Despite some difficulties with dialogue (all the characters tend to speak with the same voice, making it sometimes difficult to follow who is speaking to whom) the insights into the hearts and minds of those left behind are often touching and revealing. However, the parallel story about other members of the grief councelling group feels as if it doesn't really fit here: almost as if the author has two different stories she wants to tell and couldn't bring herself not to abandon one of them.
However, there is enough here to demonstrate a great deal of ability and certain parts of the book read a little like passages from We Need to Talk About Kevin, one of the great novels of the past few years. I'm sure that, given judicious editing and constructive advice, Ms Kal'ee'ay has some excellent books just waiting to be put on paper. Not perfect but definitely recommended.
Much of the action is in Ember's apparently vast apartment in Los Angelos that I found difficult to get a clear picture of and no vision at all of the area it sat in. It certainly had many rooms and at least one balcony. The action also moves to Richard's childhood home with Frances in Georgia and there is a brief road trip to Nevada, but this is not a novel that is strong on place; the most grounded places are in Georgia.
The characters vary from those who are very one dimensional to those who are more rounded, to me Ember was the main voice we heard and the person who most articulated how it might feel to be in that situation. Richard's voice is heard occasionally, but the novel does not really try to get in to his head and explain his actions.
I found the novel interesting to read and engaging in some ways, although I do not think it is not a novel that will stay with me after reading.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0984546448, Paperback)While serial murderer Richard Earl Dayle lies dying of heart failure, he desperately urges his limbs to push the soft earth over his final victims. Preserving his persona is ultimately more important to him than survival. With the discovery of his crimes, his family is faced with a mystery: How could this be the man they all loved? As Richard's mother, daughter, wife, and ex-wife seek answers to this question, Karisha Kal'ee'ay illuminates their guilt, shame, and anger. Although the unfolding psychological and emotional drama reveals them as the victims they truly are, their laughter and affection transform a shared bereavement into an unbreakable bond. Searching for sympathy in a grief support group, Richard's widow Ember finds herself viewed with morbid fascination and suspicion. After all, is it really safe to befriend the wife of a serial killer? In time she grows close to a mourning transsexual whose circumstances are even more tragic than her own. As this relationship progresses, its surprising repercussions lead these unusual survivors through a remarkable evolution. Living in a small town in rural Georgia has always made Frances feel isolated, but after her son's crimes are uncovered she becomes an outcast. Perhaps it's time to sell her home, the place where her son grew up, but first she feels it necessary to gather with those Richard left behind in the hope that they can help each other understand what drove him to kill. Attempting to manage her own sorrow, Richard's teenage daughter Bridgett sets out to document the stories of his victims. This project brings together a curious cast of characters that will force Richard's family to confront the dark, hidden history of the man they thought they knew. When a murderer takes a victim, anguish and misery are predictable, but when he is exposed, it is the death of his facade that his loved ones must cope with. A Brief Madness is a fresh exploration into the aftermath of a serial killer's violence, as seen from the perspective of the murderer's own family.

[Safeway] Visa: Spend $200 at Safeway, get $20 statement credit
1. Register your Visa card at https://www.visastockupandsave.com
2. Make a minimum $200 (after tax) purchase at Safeway in November
3. Get $20 statement credit (max 4 per card)
No mention of ineligible items (only that you can't make the purchase at a Safeway liquor store or gas bar) so gift cards should be OK. Makes sense since Visa generally doesn't know what you buy, only where you buy it. Allow 8 weeks after Nov 30 for the credit to be posted.
All credit card Visas seem to work (initially the TD Infinite Travel did not).
Anyway, seems like a decent deal. Next time you're at Safeway (in November), you just top up your purchase to $200 with gift cards and you'll get $20 back.
Also, only 20,000 cards will be allowed to be registered. So don't delay! Register today!

Graffiti is Not Art
Graffiti is not art; it is vandalism. It is prohibited when done without permission of the property owner. Furthermore, San Diego Municipal Code Section 54.0405 requires that property owners keep all walls, buildings, fences, signs and other structures and surfaces visible from the public right-of-way free of graffiti.
In November 2000, the San Diego City Council amended the City's Graffiti Ordinance to revise the official definition of "graffiti" as follows:
"Graffiti means any unauthorized inscription, word, figure, picture, or design that is sprayed, marked, cut, posted, pasted or otherwise affixed, drawn or painted on any surface of public or private property."
To report graffiti please call 9-1-1 and visit the Reporting Graffiti Web page for details on rewards for reporting graffiti.

O'Reilly: Imams kicked off plane "wouldn't get handcuffed ... if they started chanting stuff" at Crate & Barrel
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
Bill O'Reilly revived the "war" on Christmas and declared that "[m]aybe the imams who got thrown off the plane [would] shop" at the home furnishings retailer Crate & Barrel because it has a policy of saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." O'Reilly also declared that Christmas is "a secular holiday" that "honors the birth of Jesus. ... And the reason it does is because Jesus was a philosopher," but "you can have a religious connotation to the holiday if you choose to."
On the November 27 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly revived the "war" on Christmas and declared that "[m]aybe the imams who got thrown off the plane [would] shop" at the home furnishings retailer Crate & Barrel, because, he said, the chain has a policy of saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." O'Reilly added: "I bet you they wouldn't get handcuffed in Crate & Barrel if they started chanting and stuff." On November 20, six Islamic imams were detained at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after a passenger became alarmed that the imams were praying. The imams were cleared of any wrongdoing.
During The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly also declared that he would not shop at Crate & Barrel because retailers having a policy of saying "Happy Holidays" during the holiday season is "annoying": "It's just one of these little annoying things that I say if you're not going to say 'Merry Christmas,' and it's a federal holiday, I'm not going to buy the lamp. I mean, I am that small." O'Reilly cited a November 22 Minneapolis Star Tribune article, which reported that Crate & Barrel spokesperson Betty Kahn said, "We would definitely not say Merry Christmas"; O'Reilly asserted that he "confirmed" that Kahn's statement was true. In fact, according to the weblog Think Progress, "Kahn said her quote was misconstrued. Crate & Barrel has no policy encouraging or discouraging store employees from saying 'Merry Christmas' or any other greeting. Kahn said she was trying to communicate that the store does not actively require employees to say 'Merry Christmas.' "
Earlier in the program, during a discussion with Quinnipiac University law instructor John Pavia about a lawsuit regarding the display of religious symbols in New York City schools, O'Reilly declared that Christmas is "a secular holiday" that "honors the birth of Jesus. ... And the reason it does is because Jesus was a philosopher," but "you can have a religious connotation to the holiday if you choose to."
O'Reilly also declared that "the return of Christmas to most retail stores in America" was a "big win[] for Americans, who believe this country stands for what's right and promotes positive things like Christmas;" that "loons are still denying there is a Christmas controversy;" and that "our society has changed dramatically in the last 40 years," mainly due to "[t]he emergence of the secular progressive [S-P] media." O'Reilly concluded: "Without the Fox News Channel and The Wall Street Journal editorial page, the S-P media would go unchallenged in this country."
As Media Matters for America has documented, O'Reilly began promoting the notion of "Christmas under siege" before the 2004 holiday season with Fox News host Sean Hannity, and Fox News host John Gibson joined in during the 2005 holiday season. Gibson is the author of The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought (Sentinel, October 2005).
From the November 27 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, which also featured Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers and right-wing pundit Michelle Malkin:
O'REILLY: Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Thank you for watching us tonight. Some wins, some losses in the culture war. That is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo."
While on vacation last week, I cheered the Simpson victory [the cancellation of the O.J. Simpson book If I Did It and related TV special] from afar and the return of Christmas to most retail stores in America. Both are big wins for Americans, who believe this country stands for what's right and promotes positive things like Christmas, a federal holiday that encourages goodwill toward all people.
Now, I knew when I returned to work that the far-left secular forces in America would not take kindly to those two victories and to the fact that my book Culture Warrior is a huge success. And I was correct. The print press clippings over Thanksgiving show stepped-up attacks on me by fanatical S-P columnists from coast to coast.
Many of these loons are still denying there is a Christmas controversy, even though one is before the Supreme Court right now. Here in New York City, the public school system has banned the manger display, while allowing the menorah for Hanukkah and the star and crescent flag for Ramadan. Federal appeals court upheld this blatant bit of discrimination. And now the Supreme Court must decide whether to review the case. We'll have more on this coming up. But to deny there are attacks on Christmas in America is a flat-out lie. And you should take note on who is doing that.
On another front, there was a culture war setback while I was away. The National Center for Health Statistics announced that out-of-wedlock births in America are at an all-time high. Thirty-seven percent of babies are now born to single women -- 37 percent. This, of course, is an economic and social disaster. Single mom households are the primary poverty indicator and a huge risk factor for criminal behavior by young people.
The assault on marriage in our society comes exclusively from the secular-progressive community, which sees traditional marriage as a threat to their sacred tenet of inclusiveness.
Now, societies don't change by accident. And our society has changed dramatically in the last 40 years. The emergence of the secular-progressive media has been one major reason why. Without the Fox News Channel and The Wall Street Journal editorial page, the S-P media would go unchallenged in this country. That's how dominant it is.
O'REILLY: OK. You got the federal holiday of Christmas, correct?
PAVIA: Mm-hmm.
O'REILLY: All right, signed into law by U.S. grant. So we have it. It's on the books.
PAVIA: Right.
O'REILLY: Federal holiday. Everybody in America is entitled to not work that day. Now, the holiday honors the birth of Jesus, correct? It's Christmas?
O'REILLY: The birth of Jesus. Are you with me so far?
PAVIA: I may differ, but OK. It acknowledges a date -- it acknowledges Christmas as a federal holiday.
O'REILLY: OK, so you don't think Christmas is -- honors the birth of Jesus?
PAVIA: Sure, sure, for the sake of this argument, I'll --
O'REILLY: No, no, for real life.
PAVIA: No, it does. It does.
O'REILLY: You don't have to patronize me.
PAVIA: It does, it does.
O'REILLY: I mean, because there's no other meaning of Christmas other than the birth of Jesus.
PAVIA: But the reason that the court has now recognized -- the conversation we're going to get into has become the part of our culture as well. But for sake of this argument, I'll let you keep going.
O'REILLY: OK, thank you, because if there is another reason for Christmas, I'd like to hear it.
PAVIA: No, I agree.
O'REILLY: It acknowledges the birth of Jesus.
PAVIA: Right.
O'REILLY: And the reason it does is because Jesus was a philosopher. He was a philosopher and a man whose philosophy was taken by the Founding Fathers in association with Judeo tradition. And they use a lot of it to forge our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. You wouldn't disagree with that, would you?
PAVIA: I'm not disagreeing, no.
O'REILLY: Judeo-Christian tradition.
PAVIA: Right.
O'REILLY: All right, that's why it was -- now, you can have a religious connotation to the holiday if you choose to, as Christians do, but you don't have to. You can honor the man Jesus as a philosopher because it's a federal holiday, a secular holiday, are you with me?
PAVIA: I'm with you.
O'REILLY: OK. Now you're going to tell me, then, the public school system, paid for by the taxpayer, has a right to tell their students that you cannot see images of the birth of the philosopher Jesus? You're going to tell me in a free society that that is legal?
PAVIA: OK. What I'm going to tell you is that every town and municipality in this country now has the duty of balancing the different cultures that we have and our desire to celebrate our cultures during the holiday season. And the way they've come up with it is, there's a realm of constitutionality. And the system and the policy that the New York City school system has come up with, that you can display a menorah, the crescent star, and a Christmas tree or Santa Claus -- that's parity. That's fair. It doesn't promote one over the other.
O'REILLY: But Santa Claus comes from Europe. That's a secular sign from Europe, OK? The Christmas tree comes from Germany. It comes from Germany.
PAVIA: But where is it today? I mean, where are those signs and symbols --
O'REILLY: The holiday that was signed into law honors the birth of Jesus.
PAVIA: Right.
O'REILLY: And the public school system in New York has said, we will not allow a display of that holiday in our schools.
PAVIA: But that's not the issue.
O'REILLY: Blatantly unconstitutional.
O'REILLY: The manger is not a purely religious symbol either. All it does is remind people all over the world that Jesus the philosopher was born to humble origins.
O'REILLY: Thanks for staying with us. I'm Bill O'Reilly. In the "Impact" segment tonight, most American retail stores are saying "Merry Christmas", as we mentioned, but not Crate & Barrel and Best Buy. Incredibly, Crate & Barrel spokesperson Cathy -- I'm sorry, Betty Kahn -- Betty Kahn told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, quote, "We would definitely not be saying [sic] Merry Christmas." Wow.
Also in Minneapolis, six Muslim clerics booted off a U.S. Airways jet because some passengers were nervous. The men were handcuffed, questioned for more than five hours before being released.
With us now, Fox News analyst Kirsten Powers here in New York and Michelle Malkin in Washington.
O'REILLY: I wasn't there. I don't know. All right. Crate & Barrel, you know, I don't care about Crate & Barrel. I got one near my house. It's a nice store. But I mean, I'm not into it. But the woman comes out, and we confirmed this, Betty Kahn, "We're absolutely not going to say Merry Christmas." It's annoying. Isn't it? I mean, I'm not going to go there because it's annoying, for no other reason than, Betty, you're annoying! Am I overdoing it?
POWERS: Yeah, I think you are.
O'REILLY: Yeah, you think so?
POWERS: It would be impossible to tell you how much I don't care that they're not saying "Merry Christmas."
O'REILLY: All right, but you don't care?
POWERS: I don't. And you know -- and I love -- I love -- I love Christmas.
O'REILLY: You don't know why other people do?
POWERS: No, actually, I don't.
O'REILLY: So you don't understand anybody who's annoyed by it?
POWERS: It has nothing to do with Christianity. It has nothing to do with Jesus' birth.
O'REILLY: True, true. All that's true.
POWERS: It has nothing to do with that. And it's a business decision. If they choose not to say "Merry Christmas," well, how does that how I affect how I celebrate Christmas?
O'REILLY: Because it's just so -- it's just so small. It's so small and dumb.
POWERS: Why? Maybe they feel like their clientele is so diverse that they would just rather say "Happy Holidays." I mean, why can't they just make that decision? How does this ruin your day, Bill?
O'REILLY: Because you -- it doesn't ruin my day. It's just one of these little annoying things that I say if you're not going to say "Merry Christmas," and it's a federal holiday, I'm not going to buy the lamp.
POWERS: See, I --
O'REILLY: I mean, I am that small.
POWERS: I think the other stuff -- I agree with that.
O'REILLY: I am. I am that -- Michelle, you -- you know me. You know I am that petty, that if you're going to annoy me like this -- because I just get annoyed. It's a federal holiday. Say "Merry Christmas," say "Happy Holidays," stand on your head, I don't care. But to say, "We're absolutely not going to say 'Merry Christmas'," I'm not going there then! That's how small I am. Am I wrong?
MALKIN: Well -- well, look, on my aggravato-meter, it's a two. On yours, it sounds like it's about a six with 10 being total eye-popping outrage. But -- you know, so you're not going to buy any crates or barrels. And you know --
O'REILLY: Right.
MALKIN: I think it's, you know --
O'REILLY: Isn't it dumb?
POWERS: That you feel that way? Yes.
O'REILLY: No, isn't to dumb for a spokesman of a major -- of a major company, where 80 percent of the country is Christian and 90 celebrates Christmas, isn't it dumb, Michelle, to come out and say, "I'm absolutely not going to say that"?
MALKIN: You know, it probably is, but --
O'REILLY: Thank you. Thank you.
POWERS: Michelle's sucking up.
MALKIN: You have to look -- yes, I am. You have to look at the clientele of a Crate & Barrel. Do you shop there? I don't shop there. Who shops there? Kirsten? You don't strike me as --
POWERS: I do sometimes. I have some Crate & Barrel stuff.
O'REILLY: I don't know. Maybe the imams who got thrown off the plane shop there.
MALKIN: Well, there you go.
O'REILLY: All right? I bet you they wouldn't get handcuffed in Crate & Barrel if they started chanting stuff.
POWERS: Probably not.
O'REILLY: All right, ladies. Maybe I'm wrong. Thank you.

Channel 4 is to launch a two-year, multimillion-pound campaign promoting its coverage of the London 2012 Paralympic Games this weekend with a "bold" trail called "Freaks of Nature".
The campaign will be Channel 4's biggest ever, according to the service's head of marketing, Rufus Radcliffe.
Launching on Sunday, the first promos feature five disabled athletes talking about their extraordinary abilities and how they set them apart from other people.
The first part of the campaign starts with a trail on Channel 4 and concludes with full-page adverts in the national press across the August bank holiday weekend.
One Channel 4 insider said: "Freaks of Nature is designed to make people sit up and think. It is quite challenging in some ways but has been carefully researched and tested and the athletes who take part agreed to it."
The Channel 4 chief creative officer, Julian Bellamy, added: "The Freaks of Nature marketing trail is part of a bold campaign that portrays Paralympians as Channel 4 feels they should be seen – supremely talented athletes who, like their able bodies sporting counterparts, are set apart from the rest of us by their staggering ability, not their disability.
"And this reflects our ambitions for our coverage of the London 2012 Paralympic Games themselves – encouraging viewers to focus on the awe-inspiring ability on display throughout."

Taking Medicines
Personalized Medicines
Medicines: One Size Does Not Fit All
Studies have shown that bad reactions to properly prescribed medicines cause a number of hospitalizations each year. Researchers believe that many of these errors show that when it comes to taking medicines, "one size does not fit all."
For example, allergy medicines simply don't work for everyone who takes them. For some people, taking the standard dosage of a prescription pain reliever such as codeine offers no pain relief, and can even cause side effects that are uncomfortable or life-threatening.
As the body ages, fat and muscle content change, affecting how the body absorbs and processes drugs. Many other factors -- exercise habits, diet, and general state of health -- also influence how a person responds to medications.
Genes and Proteins Can Affect Your Response to Medicines
Another key factor is heredity -- the genes we inherit from our parents and other ancestors. Genes can influence the way people respond to many types of medicines, such as Tylenol#3®, which is acetaminophen plus codeine; antidepressants like Prozac®, also called fluoxetine; and many blood pressure and asthma medicines.
Your genes determine the shape and function of your proteins. As drugs travel through the body, they interact with dozens of proteins.
Everyone's genes are slightly different, so everyone's proteins are different. Variations in some proteins can affect the way we respond to medicines. Such proteins include those that help the body absorb, metabolize, or eliminate drugs.
What Is Pharmacogenomics?
Many scientists around the country are conducting research to understand how genes affect the way people respond to medicines. This type of research is called pharmacogenomics.
Pharmacogenomics research aims to identify all the possible variations in genes that play a role in drug response. To identify which versions of a certain gene a person has, researchers examine DNA from that person. Researchers can obtain this DNA in an easy, painless and risk-free way using a cotton swab to collect mouth cells from inside the person's cheek. The scientists then isolate the DNA from the mouth cells.
Uncovering differences in people's genetic backgrounds will help doctors prescribe the right medicine in the right amount for each person, making medicines more safe and effective for everyone.
Scientists will also better understand the role that genes play in causing or contributing to diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and many others. Research in pharmacogenomics will help scientists make future medicines as safe and effective as possible.

"Mr. Transmission" tells me the active codes were for the speed sensors in the tranny
(although ABS speed sensor codes present, they explained tranny sensors likely confusing ABS sensors)
Replace entire module in transfer case containing input and output speed sensors
$475 module
$!80 two hours labour
$100 tranny fluid and filter
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

If you're getting ABS speed sensor codes, I'd start by replacing those. They're a simple job and a lot cheaper.
What EXACTLY are the codes? You can get them yourself by doing this simple procedure..........
Perform these 5 steps in quick order.
Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position (don't start car)
Turn back to the "ACC" position
Back to the "ON" position
Back to "ACC"
back to "ON"
With the key in the "ON" position, look to the odometer. Any stored codes will be displayed there. Write them down. After the last code,
or if there are no codes, you'll see a series of dashes (----) followed by the word done.

i recently replaced that whole transmission conductor plate due to limp mode issues i was dealing with for a few weeks. It was a pain in the arse having to shut down at stop lights and restart the car so it would take off again. I actually found the part on ebay for like a $160 and since i was gonna drop the valve body i installed the blue top solenoids, new filter, gasket and O-ring kit. couldnt be happier. I dont remember the CEL code but it was powertrain speed sensor something or other. That was definately the issue. I did the labor myself in my garage on jack stands but then again i assembled and installed my motor as well in my garage it was fairly easy and i did it in about 4 hours from start to finish.

I got the codes from the tranny shop (I didnt get the actual numbers), the key dance shows no codes ------
Thank for the tips ruesmag. I'm not that adventurous or equipped to do it myself
I'm basically looking for some confirmation before I drop that much $$$$$
or whatever advice I can get from your experiences with this issue
I found the part ( I believe ) but each place has a slightly different part #
