Luxury Spotlight: The W Hotel South Beach
There are many exquisite luxury hotels in South Florida, but none of them are the unique and chic W Hotel in South Beach! Upscale hotels are as unique as their clientele; offering perks that pull in the masses and a completely customized stay.
The W

From Cuban Coffee to 200 Types of Beer-The Top 5 Miami Nightlife Hotspots
Miami's nightlife is known worldwide for its extravagance, exclusiveness, and extreme excitement. It is impossible to say exactly what the best hotspots are, as they are consistently shifting.
Yes, much like Los Angeles, there seems to be a new "it" club weekly in the Miami nightlife scene. Just like luxury rental cars, there is a desire to try the next best thing in the club scene, yet there are still Miami clubs that remain list-toppers through it all, like the following, who offer something for all tastes:
• The Wall at W Hotel South Beach
• LIV at Fontainebleau Hotel South Beach
• The Florida Room, Delano Hotel South Beach
• Abraxas South Beach
• Bongo's Cuban Café, Owned by Gloria Estefan
The Wall, W Hotel. Located inside the new W Hotel South Beach luxury hotel, this steamy Miami nightclub is still a must on many a celeb's list of faves. Some of the best DJ's from around the country provide pulse-racing entertainment for partygoers and guests of this Oceanfront luxury hotel. Note that the majority of the music throbbing from the speakers is hip-hop, and while the attire is causal, the labels are definitely designer. An exotic or luxury rental car is recommended for this see and be seen club, and prepare to be judged!
Ask Imagine: Luxury Hotel Vs Standard Hotel
Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I travel infrequently, and often stay at the Holiday Inn or the Hilton Double Tree. I find these places to be clean and sufficient, and am curious what the difference is between a standard hotel and a luxury hotel? I know that compared to a Motel 6 or other rattrap the Hilton is pretty much a luxury hotel. What defines a 5-star hotel and am I missing out? Is it just another way to separate people from their money just for a label or place to sleep? I am curious.
Bill, New York
Ask Imagine: We Like to Party
Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I love your blog and your style! I will be jetting down to South Beach for Halloween with a group of friends to hit the scene. Can you tell us what the current hot spots are, nightclubs and where the celebs frequent? We really want to get hype and go all out this year and money is not an issue.

Ask Imagine: Mansion Rental for Miami Dolphins Games
Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I am looking for a great place to stay in the Miami and South Beach area when I bring friends and family down for Dolphins games this season. Any tips?
By the way, I love your blog and read it everyday, you guys rock.
Kyle, New York
Hello Kyle,
Thank you for being a fan of our website and blog, we appreciate that. We also appreciate that you have chosen us for advice on a luxury Mansion rental Miami!
I will recommend either Pinetree Drive Mediterranean mansion, or a luxury hotel condo rental at the W Hotel South Beach or Setai South Beach. Both luxury hotels Miami offer 2 bedroom and 4 bedroom condos, and are ideally located on the strip where the best shopping, international dining and beaches are.
Ask Imagine: Labor Day Residence Rental Miami
Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I will be in Miami for a week to celebrate Labor Day with a group of friends. I do not think a traditional luxury hotel will suffice, and would prefer a residence rental Miami style to ensure that all of my guests are comfortable. What luxury hotel also offers residence or condo rentals?
I would also prefer that it be located within proximity of South Beach's nightclubs, restaurants, shopping and hot spots.
Scott, Manhattan
South Florida Hotel Industry on the Upswing
It seems that South Florida has something to feel good about, other than the constant sunshine and marbled Atlantic coastline! The local hotel industry is reporting increases for the first time in a while, which should help to bolster the economy.
The economic downturn, depression, however you prefer to label the financial catastrophe that has rocked the entire globe and changed so many lives seems to be retreating somewhat. The South Florida Business Journal has reported that local hoteliers are experiencing higher occupancy rates, figures that are surely needed.
Recent national events deserve a nod of gratitude for this increase, such as the Pro Bowl, Super Bowl, Food Network's South Beach Food & Wine Festival, FASHIONmiami and other luxury events that attract guests to our sandy shores and into our plethora of hotels, residences and luxury condos.
Ask Imagine: Concierge Concerns
Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I will be coming to South Beach soon for a business trip, and assume I will be left to my own devices often. I am free to stay where I please and would really like a luxury accommodation with a concierge who is knowledgeable of Miami. I feel that the last time I visited I missed out on much of what Miami has to offer. Do you have any suggestions?
Mark, Sacramento, CA

Which Infrared Thermometer displays spot outline?
I can't remember which brand of IR Thermometer has a "laser pointer" that "brackets" the sensing area with a circle of dots instead of just a single spot in the middle of thw area. Anyone know which brand this is?
- Thanks
If you find it, post the model. I have a 2yr old laser spot model that includes a chart showing how much area is captured vs distance.
These tools have since mine, gotten so cheap that I don't know how much of a premium such a feature would be worth.
OK, found a $199.00 Omega 30:1 with the circle dot pattern:
$ 259.00 50:1
Whether that is a "reasonable" price is in the eye of the beholder.

Ministry Burnout
Dr. James Allman, professor of Bible Exposition, discusses how reliance on human performance rather than allowing God to minister through us is destructive and can lead to ministry burnout. He encourages us to place ministry burdens into God's arms rather than ours. (Speaker Disclaimer)

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:26pm
Nearly 20 of the top teams in the New York-metropolitan area played in the fourth annual Shoreham-Wading River Fall Classic Sunday on Long Island.
Countless college coaches from Duke's John Danowski to John Hopkins' Dave Pietramala, gathered to scout young talent from some of the top Island programs, and a few from neighboring states.
"It's quality teams and it's all very well organized," said North Carolina head coach Joe Breschi. "Being organized is the biggest thing for coaches who come from all over. The rosters and scheduling is all there for us. You have some of the top talent in the country right here."
Run by Shoreham-Wading River head coach Tom Rotanz, he dubs it the "No. 1 high school fall tournament in the nation." Considering a handful of the top ranked teams participate, he's probably right.
Teams play three games with an hour between each contest. Every game is set up with two 25-minute halves and there is no overall winner and no overtime.
"It's all about showcasing your team," said Rotanz, whose son Tim, an Inside Lacrosse rising sophomore at Shoreham, was getting looks from coaches. "It's about trying to impress your colleagues. The kids all know each other. Travel teams are okay, but this is about pride. When it's [Ward] Melville, West Islip, Garden City, Manhasset, you want to make sure you have a good showing."
As for the games, one hour national power West Islip was tying host Shoreham, 5-5, then Smithtown West was beating Darien, 9-3. It was an eclectic and intriguing schedule of 30 games in six hours, spread across various fields at SWR High.
Huntington scored a combined 35 goals in three wins over Yorktown, Syosset and Long Beach, allowing only 7 on its end.
Darien, one of Connecticut's top teams, beat Farmingdale, lost to Ward Melville and played a close game with Smithtown West, who also lost to Ward Melville.
It's a unique opportunity for interesting match-ups, even with many athletes out because of participating in the Long Island football playoffs. For the younger guys, it's their time to shine.
"It gets them a chance to play against top competition and gets us a chance to get them up to speed on what's expected on the varsity level," said Garden City head coach Steve Finnell, who mentioned that his squad consisted mainly of sophomores and juniors because their top players are gunning for a Long Island championship in football next weekend.
It's an evaluation period for West Islip head coach Scott Craig and his bunch, too. Even with his team playing together most of the summer at tournaments, it's never too early to analyze young talent and see where they fit, he said.
"I'm looking to find out about a lot of my kids," he added. "We're looking to see who can take the next step. We're evaluating on an intellect standpoint more than anything else."
Top players:
-Sr. Connor Braddish, West Islip (Colgate)
-Jr. Trevor Brosco, Shoreham-Wading River (Notre Dame)
-Sr. Brendan Gaine, Bay Shore (Navy)
-Sr. Kyle Keenan, Smithtown West (Duke)
-Sr. Brendan Madarasz, Smithtown West (Army)
-Jr. Case Matheis, Darien (Duke)
-Jr. James Pannell, Smithtown West (Virginia)
-Sr. Eric Parnon, Darien (Maryland)
-Sr. Kyle Turri, West Islip (Duke)
-Sr. Nick Saputo, Drexel (Huntington)
-Jr. Matt Schultz, Smithtown West (Cornell)
-Jr. Henry West, Darien (Cornell)

RGRs or CSL Reps
I decided to move this thread to the General Forum since I figure it'd get more hits.
Hey guys I need your opinions. I'm trying to decide between 18 inch BBS RGRs or CSL reps? They would pretty much cost the same price with tires since some fanatic is selling his RGRs for a good price. (see thread below)
Which one should I go for? I like the CSL look but the RGRs look pretty good too and they're light and forged.
Either choice is a good one, but I'd recommend the RGR's. The question is, do you want 18" wheels, or 19" wheels?
I'd say go with the RGRs, it kinda looks like the CSLs but you get a lil' lip too. There are a lot of CSLs out there, so having the RGRs would stand out a bit.
I don't see how this is even a question. Why would you settle for less. Granted the CSL reps are good for the money, they're still no BBS, plus the RGR's look better... But that's personal opinion. Even if they weren't around the same price, which you claim they are, you should still get the RGR's over the CSL's if you have the $.
And no, I am not bashing rep wheels, I used to have them as some of you remember. :rolleyes:
BBS hands down
RGR - in diamond black, my favorite BBS wheel.
RGR - forged and about 5lbs lighter per wheel... :thumbup:
and they're good looking too... :drool:
depends on what size:
19" RG-R's > CSL's
CSL's > 18" RG-R's
RGR- a no compromise decision
the only cars i ever see with bbs rims are like early/mid 80's flat black spray painted vw's, and they are EVERYWHERE around here....with that being said, which ones do YOU like better?? your the one that's going to be looking at your car everyday, not us!!!!!
RGRs gets my vote.
come on man! RGRs!!
18 RGR's > 19 CSL
RGRs, baby, and dubs!!
Thanks for the input guys. I really wanted to get the RGRs to begin with from a fellow fanatic but he only had one post and he's been posting the wheels for sale for more than a month. I started to wonder if it was leggit or not. Am I the only one that thinks $2000 shipped is a great deal for 18 inch RGRs with tires and they're only 2-3 months old? I'm really suprised no one has bought them in that period of time.
Not even comparable... On my old 330...
I'd say... go with the RGRs.
They are EXTREMELY strong (from personal experience) and pretty light.
Plus, BBS is a very trusted brand name here on the forums.
However, if you plan on getting a BBK later... if these wheels are your only 2 choices... go with the CSL reps. because the RGRs are notorious for horrible BBK clearance. Needed a 22mm spacer to fit a BBK under my wheels :omg: mainly due to BBS' aggressive offset.
Then again.. if you're looking at CSL reps instead of OEM CSL or ZCP wheels... then you're most likely not thinking about a BBK.
Here's a pic of the RGRs on my old 325i I used to have though:
Hands down go with the BBS RGR as they are forged. CSL reps are nice but just not in the same quality as BBS Rims.
You can get staggered setup in the RGR setup also.
RG-R 760 18×8.0 35 5/120.0 72.5 8.6kg
RG-R 762 18×9.0 45 5/120.0 72.5 8.8kg
RG-R 734 18×8.5 38 5/120.0 72.5 8.4kg
These rims are fairly light also compared to others.
I think I've made up my mind and will go for the RGRs. I found out why the guy might be selling them cheap (18x8.5 all around with tires for 2k, 2 months old). The tires on them are Sumimoto tires and I checked in Tirerack and they only cost $90/tire. I guess I'll upgrade the tires after I wear them out. But man my window regulator just broke on my way to work today and I was even taking my friends out and showing them what a BMW is like.....haha. Thanks for the pic gmhl10, it looks really good and made me want to get the wheels more.

My Interview with The Media Shaker
In December, I went to Paris to speak at LeWeb. While there, The Media Shaker (an entity owned by the powerful, multinational mass media company Vivendi…and nothing to do with the Shakers, the religious sect) caught up with me to do a video interview with me about YouTube video marketing, and even got me to reveal my "7 Elements of Virality."
Watch the video (complete with French subtitles!). In it, I explain how YouTube is a place where small brands can still compete with big brands. I also express my long-standing hope that brands (especially big brands) wake up and realize that they could produce low-budget feature-films for what they're spending on TV ads, and do so. Since I gave the interview, I have learned that Coca-Cola has done just that.

Originally posted on Project Spurs | Last updated 12/1/12
For a game taking place on the first of December, it sure felt a lot like the first of May and that had nothing to do with the warm weather in San Antonio. ŌĆ£It was definitely playoff intensity,ŌĆØ Spurs guard Tony Parker said after scoring 30 points in a game that went to overtime against the team with the NBAŌĆÖs best record. It took an extra period, but the San Antonio Spurs rallied back from a terrible third quarter to end the Memphis GrizzliesŌĆÖ four-game winning streak with a 99-95 win. The story was Parker and Duncan all night, two of the four players Spurs coach Gregg Popovich sent home prior to their road game against the Heat which resulted in a hotly debate $250,000 fine from the NBA. A quarter of a million dollars may be a big price to pay, but thereŌĆÖs no questioning the fresh legs of Parker, Duncan and Manu Ginobili entering overtime contributed to the Spurs win. Tony Parker darted into the lane and knocked down consecutive jumpers, while Duncan made his only field goal attempt and made both of his free throws in overtime to give the Spurs the largest lead of the game and their only points of the extra period. Just as Parker and Duncan finished the game strong, they got started early too. Parker had nine first quarter points while Duncan had six points and five rebounds with the Spurs trailing by one point at the end of the first. Duncan stayed hot in the second half, scoring 15 points in 15 minutes and finishing the half with 21 points and eight rebounds, something that comes as no surprise to DuncanŌĆÖs coach. ŌĆ£He did what heŌĆÖs been doing the whole season and all of last year. HeŌĆÖs the ultimate competitor,ŌĆØ Popovich said after picking up his 14th win of the season. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs the ultimate pro. He brings it every night and that was just another example.ŌĆØ Grizzlies center Marc Gasol likely agrees with PopŌĆÖs sentiment, calling Duncan a ŌĆ£handfulŌĆØ after the game. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs a really good player who has a lot of different moves. HeŌĆÖs playing really good,ŌĆØ Gasol added. ŌĆ£He knows how to adjust the game to himself and the team does a great job playing him at the right spot at the right time.ŌĆØ Unfortunately for the Spurs, the third quarter wasnŌĆÖt the right time for anyone until Popovich made substitutions late in the quarter that started to narrow a 15-point Grizzlies lead. While the Spurs couldnŌĆÖt buy a three in the first half, they shot 40 percent from the field in the first half, only to see that number deflate when the Spurs made just five of 19 third quarter shot attempts. ŌĆ£I had an awful third quarter. I think we all did,ŌĆØ Duncan said. ŌĆ£We got some subs in there that were able to pick us up and get some energy back into the building and make some shots for us.ŌĆØ The fourth quarter saw the Spurs go all the way from 13 points down to a tie that forced overtime. Their 58.8 percent shooting from the field in the fourth was a far cry from the third quarter and the Spurs used all the momentum they built up going on that run to put away a Grizzlies team coach Lionel Hollins said was playing on fumes. ŌĆ£They went with their bench in the fourth quarter and we just ran out of gas. We did not execute the way we normally do,ŌĆØ Hollins said. ŌĆ£It got physical out there. We were tired and they were fresh. As a result they ran with the game and won.ŌĆØ Parker led all teams in scoring with 30 points, while Duncan finished with 27 points and 15 rebounds. Gasol led the Grizzlies with 20 points. Mike Conley added 18 points and 12 assists. The Spurs now have three days of rest before hosting the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night,

South St. Paul Wedding In October
"Zoot Suits and Brides Maid dresses were from The Wedding Shoppe. They were awesome to work with, and very helpful!"
Lyndsey and Jeremiah's Wedding
"I had a great experience buying my wedding dress here but was less than impressed with shopping for bridesmaid dresses."
Jodi and Michael's Wedding
"Extensive selection and great prices! Our only qualm would be the lack of customer service once my purchase was made. After I bought my dress, service quality dropped immediately. It's a big, busy store but I felt as if I was just another dollar for them. Also, be careful about store sample dress- bride and bridesmaid. The basement is full of dingy dress samples; check your color in different lighting and get actual new fabric swatches to make sure you're getting what you want. Dress & Tux prices are affordable and hours are convenient."

Dear Lenny,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Natalie was a gifted nurse and was a wonderful volunteer for the American Heart Association Nursing Education Committee. I will always remember her smile and sense of humor. Natalie will be dearly missed.
Alice Luse
American Heart Association
Dear Mark and Sally;
How sorry I am for the loss of your sister (in law). Natalie's professional accomplishments and personal service and empathy provided to others must certainly provide you a sense of pride and some comfort. Her life work and charity were obviously important to many people and organizations in many ways. Ukown to many, but so important to her. No words will reduce the current pain and sense of loss, However, time will permit these feelings to be replaced by wonderful memories of Natalie being a loving part of your life and the knowledge that you are a wonderful part of hers as well.
With sympathy for both of you,

HC admits Maya Kodnani's plea against 28 years in jailTNN | Nov 27, 2012, 04.01 AM IST
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court on Monday admitted an appeal by former minister Maya Kodnani challenging trial court's decision to send her to jail for 28 years in connection with the Naroda Patia massacre of post-Godhra riots.
In her appeal, Kodnani questioned the SIT court's conclusion that she was the kingpin of the conspiracy and massacre. She claimed the lower court came to this conclusion without evidence.
Even the court's upholding of the prosecution's case that there was a conspiracy hatched before the violence was merely based on presumption and assumption.
This is because there is not a single shred of evidence to prove conspiracy with other accused, she stated in her appeal.
A bench of Justice R R Tripathi and Justice R D Kothari admitted the case for final argument on Kodnani's appeal. "We have sought to know how the special court passed its verdict after overlooking certain facts and how was it based on untrustworthy and contradictory statements of unreliable witnesses," said her lawyer Hardik Dave.
In her appeal, Kodnani highlighted how all 11 witnesses who deposed against her before the SIT court were not reliable.
Kodnani also cited witness Zuber Pathan's deposition saying that he was laughing before the court and additional judge Jyotsna Yagnik asked him to behave seriously.
On not disclosing her name during the earlier probe before the SIT, Kodnani has stated that these witnesses were under police protection since 2002; and still chose to reveal her name in 2008 before the new probe agency. The argument that they were under pressure cannot be accepted.
Then minister for women and child development, Kodnani has also questioned the SIT court's decision to uphold the extra-judicial confession by Babu Bajrangi and others in a sting operation.
She has also claimed that the lower court disregarded the evidence supporting her alibi.
Questioning the lower court's appreciation, Kodnani stated that she could not have been convicted without disproving the earlier probe by the Gujarat police.
The SIT never questioned the earlier probe, nor did the court do it.
In August, the SIT court awarded 32 convicts life imprisonment of various terms - from 24 years to life in jail till death for killing 97 persons on February 28, 2002.

Lighting up Blue for Autism Awareness
April is Autism Awareness month, and today is World Autism Day, so in honor of that the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse will light up blue tonight.
A commemoration is being held, beginning at 5p.m. at the Square Grouper, on A-1-A, on the other side of the inlet from the lighthouse.
A portion of the proceeds from $10 tickets will go towards the "Els for Autism" Foundation, which broke ground on the Els Center for Excellence last month.
That will serve as a school and other resources for children with autism.
The non-profit Els Foundation was started by pro golfer Ernie Els and his wife. Their son is autistic.
The Royal Park Bridge, linking West Palm Beach to Palm Beach, has already gone blue at night, as well as some businesses in the downtown Lake Worth area.

Team-By-Team Results | Team & Individual Leaders
KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee and Georgia completed Day 1 of the 15th annual Coca-Cola Tournament of Champions Golf Tournament tied for the lead after each team fired 16-under-par scores of 560.
After playing 36 holes in today's opening round, the teams will play 18 holes in tomorrow's final round at Holston Hills Country Club.
The Vols, seeking their first-ever back-to-back titles after winning the event a year ago, got out of the gate strong by posting a 12-under-par 276 before carding a 284 (-4) in the afternoon round. Georgia recorded rounds of 280 (-8) in each round today."I was very pleased with our team's effort and they way they went about things," UT head coach Jim Kelson said. "I felt a 16-under par would be leading after the first day, but that was a goal of ours and we met it. We need to play very well tomorrow to win. This was a big day for us. It was important for us to get off to a good start and hopefully we have gathered some confidence and momentum."
Vanderbilt (561) trails the leaders by just one heading into tomorrow, while College of Charleston (564) and East Tennessee State (574) round out the top five.
Tennessee's David Skinns is in a three-way tie for the individual lead after recording rounds of 68-67--135 (-9). Skinns shares the lead with Vanderbilt Brandt Snedeker (69-66--135) and Bruce McDonald of the College of Charleston (67-68--135). South Alabama's Gareth Maybin (67-70--139) and Tennessee's John Scott Rattan (69-70--139) will begin Tuesday's round within striking distance of the leaders.
Tennessee senior Ian Parnaby, who tied for fifth individually in last year's TOC, fired a 70-72--142 today, tying him for 14th-place. Freshman Lawrence Dodd made it four of the team members with par or better, shooting a 69-75--144 to tie him at 23rd, while senior Andrew Pratt rounds out the Vol team scoring with a 73-82--155.
Four Vols competed as individuals, including sophomore Brandon Skeen who carded
a 72-70--142, tying him in 14th-place. Sophomore Ross McGowan ended the day
tied for 28th with scores of 76-71--146, while freshman Chris Robinson (45th-t)
was two strokes back at 78-70--148. Freshman Clint Cromwell, who is competing
in his first event at UT, fired a 78-80--158 for 76th place.

Glow Digital Media Raises $1.3M, Sets Up Shop In LA
Glow Digital Media, a developer of a Facebook advertising platform, said Thursday that it has raised $1.3M in a seed funding round, and set up its U.S. headquarters in Los Angeles. The UK-based company did not disclose the source of the funding. Glow said the funding will specifically go towards opening up a new, regional headquarters in Los Angeles, headed up by David Wamsley, who formerly founded GravityEight, campsix, and Adauction.com. The company said it helps direct response advertisers build and manage their Facebook advertising campaigns. Los Angeles is home to a significant concentration of online advertising companies, among them OpenX, Rubicon Project, ValueClick, YieldMetrics, DataPop, Convertro, and GraphEffect--just to name a fraction of the companies in the area. Glow Digital Media has set up its U.S. offices at Idealab in Pasadena, although the firm is not an Idealab company. More information »

The SEEON microphone �zooms in� on a person�s voice, which enables it to cut out background noise by up to 40 decibels. Not only does the acoustic microphone cut the user�s voice out of the noise, but it also contains an optical sensor that measures skin vibrations from the user�s face and throat. These two things combine to record clear audio in places that would normally be too chaotic.
The SEEON microphone will be available to manufacturers toward the end of the year, so hopefully voice recognition will improve drastically in 2015.

There are plenty of options in children's theater this spring in New York, including classic fairy tales and some awesome rookie productions. See what shows are playing near you.
While the spring collection of Broadway shows (of the adult variety!) won't be ready to hit their stride until March and April, there's good news for moms and dads: There's a new wave of kid-friendly productions that have picked February as the month to shine. And so, with a colorful splash of late-winter fanfare and two thumbs-up for creativity, I give you options galore to share with the young theater lovers populating your world - especially those who have already exhausted the current gamut of "been-there-seen-that" kid shows!
Little Red Riding Hood
Just when you thought Ms. Riding Hood was as predictable as candy hearts for Valentine's Day, along comes a clever take on a kid-lit standard. In this sassy new version, you've got not one but two wolves - who actually think they have a villainous chance to outwit the supersavvy Little Red en route to Granny's. Not a chance! A contemporary tip of the hat to vintage Warner Brothers and Tex Avery cartoons, this totally quirky show, featuring the wolf duet "The Red Riding Hood Blues," is based on the Brothers Grimm story and is suitable for children and adults of all ages.
Currently running through February 27.
Tickets are $20 with a $50 Premium Seat option that includes front row seats, a pre-show meet and greet with the actors, and cast-signed programs. (The Premium Seat tickets must be purchased by the Wednesday prior to the performance.) Manhattan Children's Theatre, 52 White Street, Tribeca. 212-352-3101. www.theatremania.com.
Rabbit Sense
Launching award-winning TADA! Youth Theater's new season is a full-length musical that offers kids of all ages an updated (and upended!) opportunity to experience the cunning coterie of characters (tweaked for the 21st century) bearing the folklore stamp of Uncle Remus. In this case, the story revolves around a bullied kid who's saved by familiar fable friends including Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, Brer Fox, Brer Turtle, and Sis Wolf. Featuring a book by Davidson Lloyd, music by John Kroner, lyrics by Gary Gardner, and fun for days courtesy of the all-kid cast.
Currently running through February 20.
Tickets are $25; $15 children (NOTE: the last three rows are available for: $20; $8 children, on a first come, first serve basis.)
TADA! Theater, 15 West 28th Street, 2nd floor. 212-252-1619, x128. www.tadatheater.com.
Velma Gratch & the Way Cool Butterfly
Vital Theatre, the staggeringly prolific company whose children's arm turned the books Pinkalicious and Angelina Ballerina into hit kid musicals, is back in the spotlight with its newest adaptation, this time with Alan Madison's book Velma Gratch and the Way Cool Butterfly. With book and lyrics by Michelle Elliott and music and lyrics by Danny Larson, the show begins with a totally psyched Velma looking forward to starting the first grade. Finding herself overshadowed by her big sisters, she longs for a way to stand out and discovers she love, love, loves butterflies! Bonding with one butterfly in particular, Velma goes through a delightful metamorphosis of her own - one that will resonate with youngsters wishing to find their place in the world.
60 minutes; ages 3 to 9; tickets $25 with premium seats for $30.
The Vital Theatre, 2162 Broadway at 76th Street. 212-579-0528. www.vitaltheatre.org.
The Little Mermaid
Since the departure of Disney's Little Mermaid from Broadway, many of us have felt deprived of one of Hans Christian Andersen's most adored heroines. Happily, she's back in an irresistibly charming musical including the number "Misunderstood." And, of course, the Little Mermaid's dad, King Neptune, has his own moment in the spotlight when he reflects on the innate perils of parenthood in the song "Loving and Letting Go."
Runs February 2 to May 22.
60 minutes; recommended for ages 3 and up; tickets are $40 for first three rows; $35 for second three rows; and $25 for all other seats. Ticket price includes preshow arts workshop featuring lessons in movement and music from the show and the opportunity to create a sea creature that glows in the dark when placed onstage.
Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal Street. 212-352-3101. www.theplayerstheatre.com.
Circus INcognitus
If you haven't yet experienced New York's family phenom theater known as the New Victory, shame on you! But the good news is you can do so in February in a big and fun-filled way thanks to the arrival of pedigreed circus star Jamie Adkins who, as fans will attest, requires but a bit slack wire, a passion for slapstick, a tall and teetering ladder or two, and a magical piece of luggage holding endless possibilities, to razzle, dazzle, and tickle the funny bones of youngsters and their adult companions. "I've performed with large ensembles in large productions," says Adkins, "but with my solo work, which is on a much smaller scale and more intimate, I try to be as subtle as possible, and personable, to reach out and make every audience member's experience a personal one."
Runs February 11-27.
60 minutes; all ages. Tickets are $38 (orchestra and front mezzanine); $28 (rear mezzanine); and $14 (balcony) for nonmembers. Theatergoers who buy tickets for three or more New Vic shows qualify for free membership benefits, including reduced ticket prices of $25 (orchestra and front mezzanine); $18 (mezzanine); and $9 (balcony).
New Victory Theater, 209 West 42nd Street. 646-223-3010. www.newvictory.org.
Treasure Island
Robert Lewis Stevenson's swashbuckling tale about young Jim Hawkins and the duplicitous Long John Silver and his band of pirates has been adapted for the stage by Vernon Morris and B.H. Barry. Barry, who also directed this "spine-tingling adventure about treachery, treasure, and a young man's rite of passage," has added another layer of guaranteed excitement to the production by casting Tony-nominee Tom Hewitt (The Rocky Horror Show) as the peg-legged Silver. Definitely an edge-of-your-seat theatrical outing - with plenty of arrgghhs!
Runs February 15 to March 26.
Two hours with intermission; ages eight and up; tickets are $20-$45, with the special Pirates Promise that "the first row of action-packed seats will be sold for only $20!"
Brooklyn's Irondale Center, 85 South Oxford Street. 866-811-4111. www.irondale.org.
The Emperor's New Clothes
Hans Christian Anderson would have loved this reimagining of his tale of royal vanity run amok from the Phoenix Theatre Ensemble's "Grimms-N-Giggles" collection. In a era boasting TV shows like "Project Runway" and "The Fashion Show," this cautionary musical tale offers the perfect antidote to over-the-top haberdashery. The monarch at the center of this play posing the question, "Will substance rule over style?," clearly has much to learn, since he starts out worrying about such petty things as, "Does this crown clash?" "Can I wear a white robe after Labor Day?" and "Does this scepter go with my jewels?"
Runs February 21 to March 12.
45 minutes; all ages. "Pay what you can" or reserved tickets for $9
The Wild Project, 195 East 3rd Street. 212-352-3101. www.phoenixtheatreensemble.org.

What's happened in the Trayvon Martin case since we stopped paying attention? Thinkprogress.org recently published an overview, including facts such as "Trayvon Martin would have turned 18 on February 5", "Zimmerman has "spent more than $125,000″ on living expenses -not including security- over the last year", "The trial has been set for June 10", "The defense team acquired Trayvon Martin's school records". Click here to check it out.

I check about Once a week because I worry that if they keep pushing the trial back everyone will forget it and I think this will be an important trial.
Its very important as a people to keep up with stories like this until the end.
To be truthful they never did pay attention it was more of a fad or trend sad to say.
And left like a trend.
Thank you so much for posting this!
I've still been keeping up with it.

Non GATE M.Tech Colleges
Non GATE M.Tech
People who do not have a good GATE percentile or could not qualify the GATE can also get into some top colleges and Universities in India. If you are selected through non GATE you will not get stipend whereas if you got selected through GATE you will get stipend.
Admission to Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) or National Institute of Technology (NITs) Without GATE score (NON-GATE):
Most of the student can not imagine going to IITs without tough completion, which is a correct assumption. But there are ways to get into IITs and NITs without GATE scores too.
Below are the possible cases.
Sponsored Candidates: If you are working in industry for over three year and can prove that your employer is ready to allow you to go to study by letters from authority, you can apply under this category.
There are few seats reserved under this category in both IITs and NITs.
Quality Improvement Program (QIP): This is started by Govt. of India to improve the quality of teaching staff in state colleges by giving them a chance to attend India's top most engineering schools. All the faculty members with three years plus experience are eligible for this.
Kindly read the upcoming post giving detail view of these programs.
Admission to Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs):
They conduct their own exam for admission. Anyone can apply and try to get admission for Master of Engineering. These colleges are deemed universities and have good infrastructure and placements.
Admission to Central and State Universities:
Few Central Universities conduct there own exams and few consider GATE scores too. Most of the State University doesn't get GATE qualified students, therefore they conduct their own written test and interview.
Private Deemed Universities:
These days in India there are many professional private universities offering masters in engineering. They conduct their won exam and interview. Admission is easy but they may charge huge fee.
Private Engineering colleges offering Master of Engineering:
AICTE approve many old private engineering colleges to start M.Tech course because of infrastructure and faculty. Admission these are easy but may be expensive.
Part Time Master of Engineering:
Few State universities offer this program with the condition that student must live within the some distance (for example 30KM) radius from universities. Class usually conducted in evening and weekends.
Distance M.Tech Program:
This is most risky program, because many fraud universities offer M.Tech distance program that is not affiliated to any accreditation committee.
TANCET (Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test):
This exam is conducted by Anna University for admission to M.Tech and other PG courses in its affiliated colleges.
Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET) Karnataka:
This exam is counducted by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) for admission to M.Tech and other PG courses in its affiliated colleges.
Post-Graduate Engineering Common Entrance Test (PGECET):
PGECET is conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University on behalf of APSHCE (Andhra Pradesh state higher education council) for admission into M.E. / M,Tech./M.Pharm./M.Arch / M.Plg. (full time) in University and affiliated Engineering colleges in A.P.
Usually the notification for these exams comes during first and second week of April. We will update as soon as the notifications appear on official websites.

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .

This is a discussion on Gun Use And Responsible Citizenship within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Analysis by David Morgan, The Asheville Tribune According to John L. Lott, a University of Chicago law and economics fellow, every product has illegitimate uses ...
Analysis by David Morgan, The Asheville Tribune
According to John L. Lott, a University of Chicago law and economics fellow, every product has illegitimate uses and undesirable consequences. In 1996 in the U. S., car accidents killed 43,000 people and injured 3.4 million; 959 children under the age of 15 drowned in pools and while boating; 500 children died in bicycle accidents, and more than 1,000 children died from residential fires. No one is yet proposing that state or city governments should recoup medical costs or police salaries by suing automobile companies, pool builders or makers of home heaters. But suing manufacturers for any costs cities incur from gun injuries and deaths is exactly the theory behind the lawsuits by Chicago, New Orleans and other cities against gun makers.
The New Orleans suit seeks to hold gun makers liable because accidental deaths are foreseeable and not enough was done to make guns safe. It is particularly concerned with accidental deaths involving children and cites 3 cases in New Orleans since 1992. Nationally, 30 children under 5 and 200 under 15 died from accidental gun deaths in 1996. Given that some 80 million people own approximately 220 million guns, gun owners must be very responsible, or such gun accidents would be much more frequent.
Lott goes on to report that Americans also use guns defensively about 2.5 million times a year, and 98% of the time merely brandishing the weapon is sufficient to stop an attack. The chances of serious injury from an attack are 2.5 times greater for women offering no resistance than for those resisting with guns. In addition a 1996 survey by the National Association of Chiefs of Police found that 93% of 15,000 chiefs and sheriffs questioned, thought that law-abiding citizens should be able to buy guns for self-defense.
It has also been shown that in every instance where the citizens insisted on their right to carry a concealed weapon that the crime rates in those areas fell dramatically once law abiding citizens exercised their right to do so. Nowhere did crime rates go up. Carnage was predicted when Oregon enacted a law mandating that citizens be granted a carry license after background checks. As a result 2,200 carry permits were issued in Portland in the first seven months of 1990, compared to only 17 the previous year. Homicide fell 33 percent, the second largest drop of any major city.
The adage currently being promoted that more gun controls mean less crime is simply false. Gun controls have rarely proven to be effective in reducing homicide rates. Puerto Rico has relied on drastic gun control provisions requiring a range of background checks and permits which take up to 1- 1/2 years to get. Yet, Puerto Rican police report a record 80 killings in December and 20 in the first two weeks of 1999. In 1998, the island experienced 648 murders among its 3.8 million residents for a resounding homicide rate of 17 per 100,000 residents. All that despite the islands 18,000 police officers. Our cities in the U.S. with the toughest gun control laws, such as Washington D.C. and Detroit have some of the highest crime rates. Meanwhile, in Australia, where recent draconian bans on semi-automatic and pump-action firearms resulted in confiscation of tens of thousands of guns, crime rates in the last 12 months have skyrocketed. Homicides are up by 3.2%, assaults are up by 8.6%, and armed robberies are up by a full 44%.
In Switzerland, gun ownership and use is not a matter of free choice . It is a community duty and is mandatory. In a nation of 6 million people, the Swiss have a standing army of only 1,500 men. However, they can mobilize a standing army, combat ready, of over 650,000 troops within 24 hours. The Swiss government makes it easy for any adult, whether or not in the military, to learn how to use military weapons. When the government adopts a new rifle , it sells the old ones to the public. The army will even sell to its citizens a variety of machine guns, as well as anti-tank weapons, howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, and cannons. The Swiss even subsidize ammunition purchases for its citizens. Preserving freedom and democracy is not just a citizens right - it is a duty. Thus, in a nation of just six million people, there are at least 2 million guns, including 600,000 fully automatic assault rifles (more than in the entire United States) and half a million pistols.
Despite all the guns, murder is only 15% of the American rate, and well below the Canadian, Australian, New Zealand , and Jamaican rates, even though Switzerland has more guns per capital than all of them.
A society with a great deal of guns is not necessarily a society with a great deal of gun problems. More important than the number of guns is their cultural context. Gun ownership in Switzerland is a mandatory community duty, not a matter of individual free choice. Defense of the nation is the responsibility of every male citizen. Genocide has never occurred in any nation whose citizens were armed. Cultural conditions, not gun laws, have proven to be the most important factors in a nations crime rate. The framers of the Second Amendment envisioned a policy in which gun ownership and use - like voting, jury duty, and paying taxes - was one of the basic components of responsible citizenship. The encouragement and instruction of mature, responsible gun use is by far the best policy for our country.

Celebrity Autobiography
Here's the thing about celebrities: They become convinced that their every word is fascinating, which makes celebrity autobiographies fascinatingly candid when, say, Marilu Henner doesn't pause before prattling on about how her Taxi co-star Danny DeVito must be a great lover because he's the right height to pleasure a woman while standing. At the start of Celebrity Autobiography, creator Eugene Pack stresses that every word is exactly as published, a reminder to cling to, if you find yourself doubting Melissa Gilbert threatened cheating boyfriend Rob Lowe, "You don't fuck with America's Sweetheart!" (and then obliviously bragged about it in print). The "celebrity" in the title is twofold: The authors are famous and so are the reciters, a cast of comedians that includes Laraine Newman, Jennifer Tilly and Roger Bart. While the words themselves need no embellishments, some performers like Cheri Oteri can't resist, adding a yowling, swaggering accent to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino that sounds nothing like the Jersey Shore star. The best bits come when the actors read with a devastating deadpan delivery, like Fred Willard's wry recounting of David Hasselhoff's Broadway bow ("I had to prove I was something more than a guy in a Speedo running in slow motion"), or Illeana Douglas' genius for transforming Barbra Streisand's dull accounting of the vegetables in her home garden into a riot of smug self-satisfaction. The show climaxes with four mash-ups: an assault of poetry by Suzanne Somers, a seminar in stage divas, a treatise in disordered eating and a Rashomon-esque rehashing of the Debbie Reynolds/Eddie Fisher/Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton love knot. Whose account to believe? No one and everyone when Tilly's Taylor cocks an eyebrow, truth is beside the point.

Flounder Rolls with Pesto
Chef Gennaro Contaldo of Passione is one of London's best Italian chefs. His terrific cookbook, Passione, has plenty of simple recipes inspired by a childhood spent fishing and foraging. In the recipe here, Contaldo combines fish and vegetables in a Parmesan-rich pesto sauce. He opts to use delicate sole but flounder, which is also light and flaky, is a fine and less expensive substitute.
Slideshow:Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 5 cups basil leaves, packed (3 1/2 ounces)
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Four 6- to 7-ounce flounder or sole fillets
- 1 small zucchini, cut into matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and julienned
How to make this recipe
In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, Parmesan and 2/3 cup of olive oil and process to a puree. Scrape the pesto into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Lay the fish fillets on a work surface, boned side down. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and place an equal amount of the zucchini and red pepper strips across the narrow end of each fillet. Tightly roll up the fillets and secure them with toothpicks. Season the rolls with salt and pepper and lightly drizzle them all over with olive oil.
Lightly oil a large steamer basket and place it in a large saucepan over 1/2 inch of boiling water. Put the rolls in the steamer basket, cover and steam over moderately high heat until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the rolls to plates, spoon some of the pesto alongside and serve.

BkMk Press book nominated for America's largest peer-juried fiction prize
2010 PEN/Faulkner Award winner will be announced March 23The University of Missouri-Kansas City's (UMKC) BkMk Press is up against top commercial publishers, such as HarperCollins and Doubleday in a national contest this March. The UMKC-based publishing house's "Homicide Survivors Picnic and Other Stories," by Lorraine M. López is one of five books nominated for a 2010 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction -America's most largest peer-juried fiction award. The winner, who will receive $15,000, will be announced on March 23. The four finalists will receive $5,000 each.
The judges - Rilla Askew, Kyoko Mori and Al Young - considered more than 350 novels and short story collections by American authors published in the U.S. during the 2009 calendar year. Submissions came from more than 90 publishing houses, including small and academic presses.
The 10 stories in "Homicide Survivors Picnic" illuminate the lives of men and women, teenagers and children at key turning-points. Narrated in sharp, colorful prose, the stories are set in various southern locations inhabited by López's complex characters.
In the title story, a single mother drives her pregnant teenage daughter and son to a gathering for survivors of murdered loved ones. The daughter's boyfriend was recently shot and killed, and the mother and her son - Ted - hope the gathering might help ease the young woman's pain. The story is narrated by Ted - the reader of maps for his routinely lost mother, the comforter of his sister and someone who yearns for his own escape.
As fellow writer and critic Heather Sellers has written, "An amazingly original Flannery O'Connor/Loretta Lynn collision, this collection lets us witness the indomitable spirit and forces us to take pure joy in all we really ever have a chance at: flawed, gorgeous, weird, rollicking, screwed survival."
BkMk Press books are available through SPD/Small Press Distribution (www.spdbooks.org), Baker & Taylor and directly from the press. For more information, contact BkMk Press at (816) 235-2558 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The author of three additional works of fiction and winner of the International Latino Book Award, López teaches at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
The other nominees are Sherman Alexie for "War Dances" (Grove Press); Barbara Kingsolver for "The Lacuna" (Harper); Lorrie Moore for "A Gate at the Stairs" (Knopf); and Colson Whitehead for "Sag Harbor" (Doubleday).
About these five books, judge Rilla Askew has written, "I'm delighted by how richly American these books are. Elegant, funny, the pain often embedded in the laugh lines, these works range widely in terms of geography, era, and culture; each is rich in story and language, and subtly informed by the author's complex sensibility and mastery of craft."
In a ceremony that celebrates the winner as "first among equals," the five authors will be honored during the 30th Annual PEN/Faulkner Award ceremony at the Folger Shakespeare Library, 201 East Capitol Street, SE, in Washington, D.C. at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 8. Tickets are $100, and can be purchased online at www.penfaulkner.org or by calling the Folger Box Office at (202) 544-7077.
About the selection process, judge Al Young says, "Overwhelmed by book-length stories and storytellers, we three writer-judges had to knuckle down and settle in for some serious summer, fall and winter reading and inner-listening. We managed to come up with five lingering beauties that freshly express the complex ways Americans believe and behave."
Celebrating the 30th year of this award, the PEN/Faulkner Foundation is committed to building audiences for exceptional literature and bringing writers together with their readers. This mission is accomplished through a reading series at Folger Shakespeare Library by distinguished writers who have won the respect of readers and writers alike; the PEN/Faulkner Award, the largest peer-juried award for fiction in the United States; the PEN/Malamud Award, honoring excellence in the short story; and the Writers in Schools program, which brings nationally and internationally-acclaimed authors to public high school classrooms in Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Kansas City. For more information, visit www.penfaulkner.org.

It's gloomy. It's dark and it's intense. What is it? It's the latest Nicole Kidman film -- a ghost story that keeps the audience wondering right up to the end.
The Others is the story about an isolated family living out the last days of WWII in a gloomy old house.
Mother and two children have been left to fend for themselves after the father has gone off to war. Their only contact with the outside world is the servants, and they just `disappeared,' leaving with no notice.
Kidman stars as Grace, the mother of two children who suffer from a rare form of photosensitivity. It's a matter of life and death to the youngsters as exposure to the sun will supposedly cause them to break out in a ferocious rash, and possibly die.
The story starts out with Grace screaming herself awake from some unspoken nightmare, only to wake up to an ongoing nightmare of the daytime. On this particular morning, three servants arrive at the door, Grace assumes, ready to take charge.
Grace shows the trio through the house, instructing them to keep the drapes drawn at all times, and to keep every door locked. When the new housekeeper reassures Grace that she's already familiar with the residence, as she served many years there in the past, Grace is only slightly concerned.
The first half of the film introduces the audience to the routine of this rather dysfunctional family.
Raising from a night's sleep only to be locked inside a tomb-like house, kept literally in the dark, the children long ago learned to adjust to these bizarre circumstances.
Meanwhile something is happening in the house. The daughter Anna, has picked up on some invisible intruders. At first her mother is convinced that these are simple imaginings of the girl -- as a way to frighten her younger brother, until she herself comes face to face with an invisible presence that knocks her off her feet.
The Others isn't a bad film, In fact, for ghost story connoisseurs, it offers a couple of hours of metaphysical sleuthing -- to figure out what's really going on.
For everyone else, the bumps in the night probably won't measure up to the intense spine tingling horrors of some other films. And, the wait through the first half might seem rather long, although the end is fairly satisfying.
I'm not a Kidman fan generally, but I thought she did a pretty convincing job as Grace. James Bentley, who plays the son Nicholas, put in an outstanding performance as a vulnerable, scared little kid.
Although I would personally have liked to see the story take an added step or two into the afterlife -- to resolve the feeling that these people just won't ever get themselves out of this miserable situation -- I thought it was a fun film to go to and certainly worth the price of admission.
**** The Others is rated PG-13 for thematic elements and frightening moments.

The teenage years can be very difficult as your child tries to navigate their way from childhood to becoming an independant adult. Throw into that the mix of hormones and physical changes and it is an explosive time!
So what level of moodiness and attitude should you be willing to accept as a parent? We recommend that a very basic and golden rule should be that your teenager communicates and behaves in a respectful manner towards you and other family members. Disrespect is not acceptable at any time. Of course there are times when the teenager will say something or do something that, while it is borderline on disrespect, it doesn't actually bother you. In cases like that, trust your gut feeling – if you don't feel disrespected then ignore the behaviour.
Many times parents ask us what constitutes disrespect. Often, you may wonder if you are overreacting and perhaps you should be willing to ignore certain comments or actions by your teenager. The golden rule is that if you feel disrespected by your teenagers behaviour, then you are right to treat it as disrespectful and insist on your teenager changing this behaviour. Again, trust your gut feeling to decide if the behaviour is disrespectful or not.
If you teenager is being rude or disrespectful to you, address this before you address any other request they have. For example, your teenager cannot find his/her trainers. They are shouting at you "where did you put them? I have to find them NOW, I am late". In this situation, we are often tempted to jump to help them look for the items and at the same time, shout back at them. Does this situation seem familiar?
|Teen shouting
|Where are my trainers? I need them NOW – I am going to be late!!
|Parent shouting and running around looking for the trainers
|Don't shout at me like that! You should put your stuff away properly. I am fed up picking up after you!
|Teen shouting
|Well don't pick up after me! That way the stuff would be where I left it. You are doing my head in!
|Parent shouting and running around
|Someone has to pick up – otherwise the place would be a mess. Why do you always leave it to the last minute to find your stuff?
|Teen shouting
|Where are my trainers? I need them NOW – I am going to be late!!
|Parent responds calmly
|I cannot help you until you stop shouting and communicate respectfully with me.
|Teen shouting
|That's no good to me. I need to find them NOW! I am sick of things going missing in this house!
|Parent still calm and refusing to be drawn into the "shouting match"
|I told you that I cannot help you when you are shouting at me. Ask me calmly and I will help.
|Teenager in a mocking tone
|Okay – will you help me please to look for my trainers (possibly puts his/her eyes up to heaven at this stage!)
|Parent still insists on respect and tells the teen how they should communicate
|I want you to be respectful when you ask me. Say something like 'Mam, will you help me to look for my trainers please?'. Then I can help you.
|Teenager calmly
|Ok. Mam, will you help me to look for my trainers please?
|Parent calmly.
|That's better. Now lets look together. Did you check the hall cupboard?

Being a news-junkey, I try to keep an eye on current events. There is one topic, though, that I wasn't specifically looking for, I would miss it: oil production from North Dakota.
Quick quiz, how many of you knew that December 2012 was a record-setting month for North Dakota? Trick question because it's moot. That record has fallen, writes Brian Hicks at the Energy & Capital website:
The Bakken Chart You Have to See to Believe
North Dakota did it again.
It demolished previous records in oil production for December 2012.
The latest numbers released last Friday by the state's Department of Mineral Resources showed the state produced 768,800 barrels of oil a day for December.
That's up 33,000 barrels a day — or nearly 5% from November 2012 — and yet another all-time record.
That's right. An all-time record high in oil production for North Dakota.
Take a look at the chart provided by Dr. Mark Perry of the Carpe Diem blog:
If this chart were of a stock, I'd be shorting the hell out of it, because it has essentially gone hyperbolic.
But it's not.
It's NoDak's oil production.
And right now, there no signs that oil production in the Bakken is going to slow down any time soon.
North Dakota's Industrial Commission released a study last month saying 95% of drilling in North Dakota targets the Bakken and Three Forks Formations, and according to the Energy Information Administration, the Bakken accounts for 90% of North Dakota's oil production. Three Forks runs along the outside of the Bakken Shale.
In total, the Industrial Commission estimates 6.5 billion barrels of recoverable oil are available in the Bakken and Three Forks formations. Only 244 million barrels have been recovered so far.
How long can the boom continue?
If my math is correct, at current production levels and the reserve estimate cited above, the Bakken boom can last at least another 25 years. And that's assuming reserve estimates don't go up.

However, the movie implies that much of her confusion stems from the fact that she has been home schooled for her entire life up until this point. When she arrives at a public high school, she is portrayed as totally unprepared to deal with the social cliques Continue reading What Does Mean Girls Imply About Home Schooling
