About three years ago, my father's lady friend and her daughter bought the ingredients to make my father matzo ball soup. They were going to use a packaged matzao ball mix. They had to leave early because my father became ill. So, they never got a chance to make it. I decided to give it … Continue reading Gluten Free Matzo Ball Soup

METAL FORCES MAGAZINE [link]
Every track is a surprise […] that gives the record an almost unique feel.
WONDERBOX METAL [link]
The band show that this is abrasive, discordant Black Metal that sings to its own twisted hymn sheet set to music that shouldn't rightly exist in our reality. The creative flair of a flawed genius is clearly on display, clashing with the ingenuity of a madman.
TOILET OV HELL [link]
When I sit down to wrestle with my year-end list, I expect this to be a contender.
MEAT MEAD METAL [link]
Void Paradigm's warped, progressive-fed black metal is sure to leave you uneasy and at a higher state of mental alertness.
DISAGREEMEN.NET [link]
The production is top notch, the songwriting is brimming with ideas, and the dodecaphonic approach is giving the band a certain mystic appeal.

Every once in a while you will get to see me flex my brain muscle […] man, what a great album.

by Maisie McAdoo | January 17, 2013 New York Teacher issue
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's ambitious education agenda for 2013 includes full-day pre-kindergarten in the poorest areas, community schools such as those being piloted by the UFT this year, and a "barlike exam" to qualify future teachers that was first proposed by the AFT.
The goals, which the governor presented in his State of the State speech on Jan. 9, also include a program to award an extra $15,000 a year to "master" teachers who would mentor colleagues and 100-percent state funding for districts to extend their school day or year.
The governor's agenda was based on the recommendations of a statewide commission that he convened last April to help him create "a new blueprint for education." Cuomo has said repeatedly that New York State should have a more competitive education system.
His commission's preliminary recommendations, released a week before the governor's annual address, borrow from successful programs in many states and countries and reflect the thinking of education experts.
UFT President Michael Mulgrew welcomed the commission's proposals.
"We're glad to see the governor's panel making commonsense, research-based recommendations about improving our schools, particularly the community school model where students and parents have easy access to health, tutoring, counseling and social services," he said. "This approach has been successful elsewhere, and the UFT is proud to have led the effort to create a pilot program to turn six New York City schools into such community hubs."
Other recommendations call for more innovative high school programs such as early college and career and technical courses, a wider embrace of technology and a teacher career ladder.
The new education reform commission is chaired by Richard D. Parsons, the former chairman of Citigroup and Time Warner. Its 25 members, a who's who of political and education leaders including AFT President Randi Weingarten, toured New York State through the fall, gathering testimony in 11 public meetings.
At a public meeting in New York City on Oct. 16, Mulgrew warned the commission that curricula to match the Common Core Learning Standards were not yet in place. He also called for new evaluations that are "true development tools" for teachers.
The commissioners came away from the meetings impressed by the educators they saw. "New York educators and stakeholders have shown remarkable flexibility, creativity and drive," they wrote in their report.
But they found that though there are effective programs, the state lacks an integrated system of education.
In the coming months, the commission plans to examine teacher recruitment, preparation and evaluation, and study education funding with an eye to efficiency and cost savings.
The recommendations are to be finalized by September. They come as the state faces severe budget restrictions. The commission named special education and pupil transportation as two areas of potential savings and said they would review district-by-district returns on educational investment and productivity.

Ranveer Singh, who delivered two back to back hits in 2013, is the current hot property in Bollywood. The actor has proved his mettle by doing versatile roles in films like Lootera and Goliyon Ki Ras Leela- Ram Leela. He was recently seen in Yash Raj Films' Gunday, alongside Arjun Kapoor and will be seen next in Zoya Akhtar's upcoming film Dil Dhadakne Do.
The actor who recently recovered from a nasty bout of dengue, is currently very busy with shoots and promotions. He is also going through a bunch of scripts to find something interesting. A birdie tells us Eros International approached him for two films and offered to pay him Rs. 30 crores for the two films. He was also given the option to choose his own cast, director, script, etc but the Ladies vs Ricky Bahl actor turned down the juicy offer because he didn't want to take up a project blindly.
When contacted, the Eros spokesperson said, "This is absolutely untrue. Eros has made no such offer to Ranveer."

I think that large number of NPCs slowing down the game is because it seems to be more CPU dependent than GPU dependent. I played it on an X2 4800+/7600GT 256MB and an Intel P8600/ATI 4850 512MB and there wasn't much difference in performance, although the Intel was a bit smoother but the CPU is a bit "better" than the 4800+.
Just not really interested in this at all. Not my type of game for online play(mainly only play FPS online, or more specifically TFC and Fortress Forever). I wish that they had emphasized the RPG elements more and expanded upon the plot line, game scripting modernization(at least dump in python if not lua), etc. in a single player game expansion. I really fear that this may be a bust for them and spell the end of Tale Worlds…

PolitiFact's Adair falsely suggested his site found equal lack of truth this summer from Obama and McCain camps
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
PolitiFact.com editor Bill Adair falsely suggested that Sen. Barack Obama's and Sen. John McCain's campaigns have been equally guilty of making what PolitiFact has characterized as inaccurate claims in public statements and political ads this summer. In fact, since June 7, 57 percent of Obama's claims assessed by PolitiFact were rated "mostly true" or better, while 62 percent of McCain's statements assessed by PolitiFact were described as "half true" or worse. Further, McCain has twice received PolitiFact's sharpest critique, "pants on fire," a designation not given to any Obama statement.
On the August 25 edition of MSNBC Live, PolitiFact.com editor Bill Adair, discussing his website's assessment of campaign attacks this summer, falsely suggested that Sen. Barack Obama's and Sen. John McCain's campaigns have been equally guilty of making what PolitiFact has characterized as inaccurate claims in public statements and political ads. Adair criticized Obama for what he said was a "barely true" attack on McCain and after describing it, said that "we've given a lot of 'barely true' ratings lately on our Truth-O-Meter. We've been looking at the TV ads, also at their speeches. And it's the same on McCain's side. It's really -- the truth has been a casualty of summer." In fact, it is not "the same on McCain's side." According to a review of PolitiFact's findings since Sen. Hillary Clinton's concession speech on June 7, 57 percent of Obama's claims assessed by PolitiFact were called "mostly true" or better, while 62 percent of McCain's claims assessed by PolitiFact were described as "half true" or worse. Moreover, McCain is the only one of the two to receive PolitiFact's sharpest critique, "pants on fire," which he received twice this summer.
During the segment, MSNBC host Dan Abrams stated, "With the way that McCain and Obama have been trading attacks you'd think that we're days away from Election Day, rather than months," then asked Adair, "You say that the truth has become a casualty of that?" Adair responded, "[W]e wouldn't have expected these kind of attacks so early in the campaign," adding, "What's different is that we're seeing many more inaccurate claims earlier than we would have expected."
PolitiFact rates what it calls "attacks" and "statements" made either by a candidate or his campaign, as either "true," "mostly true," "half true," "barely true" -- which Adair described to Abrams as a statement with "a grain of truth, but the overall point is false" -- "false," or "pants on fire."
From the 11 a.m. ET hour of the August 25 edition of MSNBC Live:
ABRAMS: It's time to check in with PolitiFact.com's Truth-O-Meter. Bill Adair is the St. Petersburg Times Washington bureau chief and the editor of PolitiFact.com. Thanks for coming in. Appreciate it.
ADAIR: Thanks for having me.
ABRAMS: All right. We're going to get to [Sen. Joe] Biden in a second. With the way McCain and Obama have been trading attacks, you'd think we're sort of days away from Election Day, rather than months. Now, you say that the truth has become a casualty of that.
ADAIR: It really has. We wouldn't have expected these kind of attacks so early in the campaign.
ABRAMS: Really?
ADAIR: We --
ABRAMS: Why not?
ADAIR: What's different is that we're seeing many more inaccurate claims earlier than we would have expected.
ABRAMS: Like, out of -- out of -- falsity, or context?
ADAIR: Now, what they do -- and on our Truth-O-Meter, it's often a -- we rate it a "barely true." There'll be a grain of truth, but the overall point is false, and so we give that a "barely true."
Some typical claims is when Obama links McCain to Big Oil and says that he's giving big tax breaks to Big Oil. Well, he is, but he's giving them to all corporations. And we've given a lot of "barely true" ratings lately on our Truth-O-Meter. We've been looking at the TV ads, also at their speeches. And it's the same on McCain's side. It's really -- the truth has been a casualty of summer.
ABRAMS: All right. You took out your Truth -- the Truth-O-Meter, measured some of the claims that Biden has made about McCain in his speech on Saturday. Here's one.
BIDEN [video clip]: These are John's words, quote: "The most important issues of our day, I've been totally in agreement and support of President Bush." Ladies and gentlemen, that's what he said.
ABRAMS: He said it, didn't he?
ADAIR: He did. We checked that one out, went back. It came from a Meet the Press interview in 2005, so that one got a "true" on our Truth-O-Meter.
ABRAMS: All right. In the very next breath, Biden said this. Let's listen.
BIDEN [video clip]: You can't change America when you supported George Bush's policies 95 percent of the time.
ABRAMS: All right. So, same speech, almost the same sentence; he gets a different rating.
ADAIR: He did. We gave him a "half true" for that one. And the reason is that he is quoting one year in McCain's -- how often McCain votes with President Bush. But if you look at McCain's record over the entire Bush administration, he's been as low as 77 percent, which is very low for a Republican, and averaged about 89 percent. So we gave that one a "half true" on the Truth-O-Meter.
ABRAMS: All right. And then the last but not least, we go to the -- what you call the Flip-O-Meter, the latest and greatest tool from PolitiFact. We are learning today that Biden actually pressed hard to get this spot on Obama's ticket, but listen to what he had to say two months ago on Meet the Press.
[begin video clip]
BIDEN: If asked, I will do it. I've made it clear -- I do not want to be asked.
BRIAN WILLIAMS (guest host): Do not want to be asked, but if asked, the answer, of course, would be yeah.
BIDEN: Of course it would be.
[end video clip]
ABRAMS: All right. Well, look. You know, this one -- you guys are really doing a Truth-O-Meter on this? Because, they all -- I mean, they all said this, right?
ADAIR: Exactly.
ABRAMS: I mean --
ADAIR: And, indeed, nobody wants to be seen as campaigning for --
ABRAMS: Right.
ADAIR: -- for the running-mate spot, but we wanted to have a little fun here. And if you go back through some of the other things he said, he had been really adamant that he would not take it under any circumstances, and he's pounding the desk about it. So we gave that one a "full flop" on the Flip-O-Meter.
ABRAMS: All right. You know, it'd be interesting to see if anyone has totally told the truth about -- in this election season. We'll see who the Republicans pick. We'll see who McCain picks and what that person has said. My guess: That person, at the very least, has claimed they didn't want the job.
ADAIR: Exactly. And I think that's just part of the ritual dance. You don't want to be seen as too eager to be running mate --
ABRAMS: Yeah.
ADAIR: -- but, you know, for PolitiFact, it's fair game. And --
ABRAMS: Oh, yeah, I know. It's fair game. You know. All right.

The 30-acre puzzle at Tom Pearcy's farm in Heslington, near York, represents the Scotsman steaming over a viaduct.
The Doncaster-built engine was bought by the National Railway Museum (NRM) for £2.5m after a public campaign.
Mr Pearcy, 33, is opening his maze to tie in with the locomotive's inaugural trip from York to Scarborough.
The famous engine was kept in the UK after a public appeal raised £365,000, matched by a donation from Sir Richard Branson on behalf of the Virgin Group.
The National Heritage Memorial Fund also stepped in with a grant of £1.8m.
Railway enthusiast Mr Pearcy said the return of the locomotive inspired him to plant his maze.
He said: "I've always been a sucker for the romance of steam and the plight of such a graceful old lady prompted me to design this year's maze in her honour.
"Her clean lines easily lent themselves to making a maze."
Summer tours
In 2003, Mr Pearcy planted a puzzle in the shape of a spider's web at his 450-acre farm. In 2002 it was a Viking longship.
Joan Murphy, strategy manager at the museum, said: "This is a fun representation of the Flying Scotsman and shows just how much the locomotive captures people's
Tickets are now on sale for the Flying Scotsman's first summer tour journey from York to Scarborough, which takes place on 20 July.

Bank of America has broken its silence about news reports and Internet discussions circulating all week connecting BofA to these presentation slides outlining "proactive tactics" to neutralize WikiLeaks and silence its leader, Julian Assange.
"We've never seen the presentation, never evaluated it, and have no interest in it," BofA spokesman Scott Silvestri told Technology Live late Thursday.
Whether BofA's categorical denial holds up remains to be seen. The slides, along with a cache of related e-mails, surfaced on the Internet on Sunday. The documents have since been pored over by technologists, security experts and journalists -- as well as participants and followers of the hacking group Anonymous, best known for attacking businesses hostile to WikiLeaks. (More about Anonymous' role in all of this in just a bit.)
The slides and e-mail contain stunning details that appear to show a prominent U.S. law firm, Hunton & Williams, collaborating with three data intelligence firms -- Palantir Technologies, HBGary Federal and Berico Technologies -- in an effort to shape a plan to help BofA stop Assange from following through on a threat to release damaging documents about a major U.S. bank.
Ironically, the slides and e-mail would never have seen the light of day had comments from HBGary CEO Aaron Barr not appeared in a Feb. 4 Financial Times news story. In the story, Barr claims to have used Facebook and other online sources to uncover clues to the identities of key Anonymous operatives living in the U.S., Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Australia.
Barr was scheduled to discuss his intelligence-gathering techniques next week at a presentation tied to the giant RSA cybersecurity conference in San Francisco.
Less than a day after the Financial Times story appeared, members of Anonymous successfully hacked deep inside of HBGary's company network and Barr's personal e-mail account. They swiftly exfiltrated the slide deck and 50,000 e-mails, and released them on the Internet sometime on Feb. 5.
"It's a soap opera of the highest degree," says Josh Shaul, vice president of product management at database security firm Application Security.
Shaul's daily duties include monitoring the activities of hacking groups and analyzing sensitive material released on WikiLeaks and other websites. Says Shaul:
Aaron Barr put his head into the lion's mouth. He goes to one of the most powerful hacking groups in the world, breaks into their inner circle and then publicly announces it. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a senior security person do. Within 24 hours, Anonymous attacks HBGary Federal, and gets into Aaron Barr's personal e-mail. They pull out documents from HBGary e-mail archives, including all of the go-between about this plan to shut down WikiLeaks. They make HBGary look foolish, which in turn makes Bank of America look bad for going out and trying to use any means necessary to shut down Wikileaks.
HBGary has posted a statement saying it has been the victim of an "intentional criminal cyberattack" and is taking steps to respond.
Karen Burke, HBGary's director of marketing and communication, declined to elaborate. "The investigation is ongoing, so it would be premature to comment any further at this time," she told Technology Live on Thursday night.
The slides and e-mail released by Anonymous are rich in detail. They paint a picture of the three established data intelligence firms reacting within 48 hours in early December to pull together a presentation to land a lucrative contract to help a large U.S. bank defend itself against WikiLeaks, and specifically, to stop Assange from releasing damaging data.
What apparently set this all in motion was a Nov. 29 assertion made by Assange that he was planning a document release that would take down a corrupt American bank, without specifically naming the institution. The next day, Nov. 30, BofA went into crisis mode, assuming that it was Assange's target, according to a New York Times news story.
Two days later, on Dec. 2, a Palantir engineer named Matthew Steckman sent Barr an e-mail summarizing the gist of a recent phone conference that appears to allude to the crisis BofA is trying to resolve:
They are pitching the bank to retain them for an internal investigation around wikileaks. They basically want to sue them to put an injunction on releasing any data. DOJ called the GC of BofA, and told them to hire Hunton and Williams, specifically to hire Richard Wyatt who I'm beginning to think is the emperor.
Steckman goes on to outline the division of duties for each of the three data intelligence firms participating in the pitch:
-Use Palantir for network/cyber/insider threat investigation
-Use Berico/HB Gary to analyze wikileaks the organization (people, history, where they are located) Apparently if they can show that wikileaks is hosting data in certain countries it will make prosecution easier.
In a flurry of e-mail exchanges between Dec. 2 and Dec. 3, the three firms refine several drafts of the slide deck, says Steve Ragan, security editor at The Tech Herald.
Titled "The WikiLeaks Threat," the 6th and final version of the slide deck summarizes WikiLeaks' strengths and weaknesses, outlines "proactive tactics" including fueling feuds, spreading disinformation and releasing faked documents through Wikileaks, then calling out errors. Other recommendations include:
Create concern over the security of the infrastructure. Create exposure stories. If the process is believed to not be secure they are done . . Cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data on document submitters. This would kill the project . . . Media campaign to push the radical and reckless nature of wikileaks activities . . .Use social media to profile and identify risky behavior of employees
"If Bank of America agreed completely with the presentation, it looks as if they were planning on systematically going after WikiLeaks," says Ragan.
The slides also include an outline of how to discredit Salon.com columnist Glenn Greenwald and others who write favorably about WikiLeaks:
These are established professionals that have a liberal bent, but ultimately most of them if pushed will choose a professional preservation over cause … without the support of people like Glenn wikileaks would fold.
Asked specifically about the slide deck, BofA spokesman Silvestri said: "Neither Bank of America, nor any of its vendors, have engaged HBGary Federal in this matter. We have not engaged in, nor do we have any plans to, the practices discussed in recent press reports involving HBGary Federal."
On Thursday night, Palantir CEO Alex Karp issued a statement saying the company has severed "any and all contacts" with HBGary.
Palantir Technologies does not build software that is designed to allow private sector entities to obtain non-public information, engage in so-called cyber attacks or take other offensive measures .. . personally and on behalf of the entire company, I want to publicly apologize to progressive organizations in general, and Mr. Greenwald in particular, for any involvement that we may have had in these matters.

Should A Rape Victim Be Obligated To Report Her Attacker?
One of the sites I read quite frequently is Jezebel. I wrote for them for a little while before I launched The Frisky and really respect them as a cool and smart site for women. Many of their posts I find to be laugh-out-loud funny and others make me think deeply about and even reconsider positions I have taken on issues. But lately there's been some controversy on the site in regards to the issue of rape and I thought I would bring them up here to see what Frisky readers think. In particular, I wanted to discuss the question of whether a rape victim has a moral obligation to report her attack(er) to authorities.
A few of the Jezebel bloggers have shared the experience of date rape in which they didn't go to the authorities and maintain that they had no moral obligation to do so. One of these bloggers also has discussed the issue of "gray rape", a term used in a Cosmopolitan article some months back, describing rapes in which the victim doesn't say "no" but also doesn't say "yes". While I think the term is a bogus one, and one I don't think should make its way into the lexicon, it has made me recall an experience of my own which has kind of shaped my own opinions on the subject.
When I was in college, and still a virgin (hush, I was a late bloomer), I went out on a date with a guy that I met at the coffee shop I worked at. We went to sushi, drank quite a lot of beer, then went back to his place to make out. Sometime mid-make out session I dropped the virginity bomb, as I had become accustomed to doing. I was definitely super over being a virgin and had no intention of remaining a member of the club for much longer, but I didn't really think I wanted to give it up on a first date with this dude. Which I explained, which he heard, which he said he respected. We kept making out and somewhere down the line we progressed to more, um, unclothed activities, but didn't go all the way. Or so I thought.
A couple dates later, we had sex. I was so giddy afterwards and couldn't help expressing my glee. "I can't believe I finally had sex," I said in naive wonderment.
"Uh…" the guy stuttered. "We had sex the other day."
You see, it turns out the dude pulled what I have since called "the switcheroo" — exchanging his hands/fingers for his penis briefly, and without my knowledge. How, you may wonder, is it possible for a person to be conscious and not realize she was having sex? I liken it to doing a blind taste test of a totally new food and being unable to identify it. I mean,
"I told you I didn't want to," I said said to the guy, who was looking at me kind of incredulously.
"I couldn't help myself," he said, by way of explanation. I could tell he was offended that I couldn't tell. Oh, and by the way, he didn't use a condom. Real winner, obviously.
Despite the fact that the experience of losing my virginity kind of falls into that "gray rape" category (didn't say no, exactly, but didn't say yes, either, and certainly didn't know it was happening, and he was pretty sneaky about the whole thing), I went out on a few more dates with him and had sex with him willingly a few more times. Honestly, I think I kept seeing him because then, inside, it made me feel like what happened wasn't bad and therefore I didn't have to deal with the emotional issues associated with it. I broke it off with him because we disagreed on politics and I kind of found him revolting. But I never said to him, "What you did was unacceptable" and I certainly never reported him. I don't think what he did was out of malice, but I do think it was without regard for my expressed desires and I've often wondered whether he's done that same thing again to another woman. I can't say that the experience hugely scarred me, but I do think the biggest damage that came out of it was that it contributed to my mistrust of men's motives. Still, do I wish I had reported him? No. Because what would I have said? But I definitely wish I had told him exactly what I thought of him and his inability to help himself.
But what about in cases where the sexual assault is less…up for debate? Where the attacker doesn't just "take advantage" or "fail to ask permission" but shows a complete disregard for the victim's safety, emotions, well-being, and rights? Certainly deciding what to do should be up to the person being victimized. But should she think of the repercussions of not reporting her assault, like the fact that the attacker could act again? Or does being a victim herself wipe away all responsibility as a witness as well? It's a tough question to answer in my opinion, especially since it's very difficult to get a rape case prosecuted, especially resulting in a conviction. But what do you all think?

I spoke with Victoria Rosner, Assistant Professor of English, from Texas A&M University last winter while she was at the Ransom Center for a Mellon Fellowship.
You are writing a book on modernism and the reinvention of domestic life?
Yes, it's tentatively titled Interior Designs: Modernism and the Reconstruction of Domestic Life. It grew out of an observation I made in doing my dissertation research that British modern writers seemed interested in using architecture both metaphorically and materially as a way of expressing ideas about identity or about subjectivity. Architecture seemed to have very personal resonance for a lot of modern British writers. My project is really about, in the broadest sense, the articulation of space in modernism, but I focus on the spaces of private life.
What authors are you looking at?
Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, E. M. Forster, Wyndham Lewis, Radclyffe Hall, Evelyn Waugh, Natalie Barney, and Hilda Doolittle. Those are the main ones, although I'm considering expanding it as I find more material.
No wonder you're here, since we house the archives of most of those writers.
Absolutely. I looked at the authors' personal correspondence and manuscripts. Personal correspondence is particularly important for my project because of a lot of the literary figures who I deal with were working collaboratively, or had personal relationships with some of the avant-garde artists and writers who were concretely involved in thinking about new ways to approach domestic space. Basically, they wanted to get as far away as they could from the Victorian interior which is somewhat reductively maligned as being cluttered, formal, extremely differentiated along gender and class-based linesdark, heavy, patriarchal. The modernists wanted to get away from that.
One of the points that I make on Bloomsbury is that part of our conception of what Bloomsbury is, is bound up with their homes. When we imagine the Bloomsbury writers, I think, we imagine them sitting around together in their homes talking. This is interesting, because normally when we think of what the spaces of modernism are, where modernism happens, we think of public spaces. We think of cafés; we think of the city street; we might even think of the factory. What I found was that many modern British writers and artists were experimenting with transforming the spaces of private life, both in their work and in their own lives.

Jones History: Terrace Park is located in west Jacksonville, near the intersection of Beaver Street (U.S. Highway 90) and Edgewood Avenue. Today much of U.S. 90 (though not the portion in Jacksonville) is built on the original path of the Old Spanish Trail, which extended from St. Augustine to California during the period when Spain governed much of southern America. For many years U.S. 90 was the major thoroughfare to downtown Jacksonville from the west. The Spanish Trail Corporation platted the Terrace Park subdivision without a park in 1941, and the park was established and dedicated to Duval County on the Terrace Park Replat of Part of Edgewood filed in 1950. The facility contained a softball field, playground equipment, and a basketball court in 1965, and became a City park after consolidation in 1968. In recent years, the City completed a major renovation project at Terrace Park in 2002.

The funny thing about the mining tax debate in the 2013 election is that it is the mirror image of the 2010 election. Back then, the Minerals Council of Australia's $40 million advertising campaign ran on the slogan: "Who will be hurt by the new super tax on mining? Everyone."
Three years later, it turns out that no one got hurt except the Gillard government, and the big bad mining tax was just a pussycat.
Instead of the $6 billion that the Henry tax review, in 2010, promised it could raise each year from the miners, or the $3.7 billion it was expected to raise as recently as last year's May budget, it has raised only $126 million in the first six months.
The downgrading of mining tax revenue is due to three issues. First, of course, is that the price of iron ore, and especially coal, is a lot lower than expected at budget time. This is the reason Treasurer
But the focus is turning to whether two mistakes Swan made in drafting the tax could be revisited to raise more revenue without restarting the trench war of 2010.
Some have proposed revisiting the deal Swan cut in July 2010 to placate miners on the eve of the election shortly after
The Treasurer then caved in and slashed the rate and scope of the tax, excluded everything except iron ore and coal, and also largely "grandfathered" existing mines so they would pay much less tax than new investments.
These measures combined probably cut the original $9 billion forecast revenue by at least a third, although, at the time, Swan fudged it with some creative accounting.
The Greens and the Independents want to review the 2010 deal, perhaps by ending the grandfathering or by raising tax rates.
The Parliamentary Budget Office has calculated that increasing the basic tax rate from 22 per cent to 40 per cent, Henry's original proposal, could raise $5 billion a year.
It is an obvious way to raise cash but the mining companies, led by public figures such as
It is a fair point but Swan might decide he does not care that much. After all, the mining investment boom might already be over.
If Swan was soft in talks with the miners, as Rudd hinted openly on Tuesday, he was just daft in his approach to the states. He promised to refund to mining companies all state mining royalties. This has reduced the federal tax from the mining tax by perhaps $1 billion a year.
The promise to refund royalties was not wrong in itself. Economists hate royalties because they hit all mines, including those that are barely profitable. That just forces marginal mines to close. Replacing royalties with a profits-based mining tax collects more tax from mines that can afford it and keeps the low-cost mines operating.
Yet the problem is that Swan promised to keep refunding royalties without limit. The states quickly rushed to raise royalties from 5 per cent to 7.5 per cent of the gross value of coal and iron ore, knowing the feds would have to pick up the tab. Economically, that is fine but it is a hit to the federal budget.
The review of GST distribution under former premiers
Green MP
Greiner and Brumby recommended a deal whereby states voluntarily agreed to cut royalties in exchange for a bigger share of the mining tax: "An agreed position would enable state royalties to be lower and the revenue from the Commonwealth's resource taxes to be greater." But they also said that the only way to find the cash to buy off the states in the short term might involve tearing up the 2010 deal and hitting the mining companies for more cash.
For instance, instead of giving miners a refund on royalties, it would just be deductible against the 22 per cent tax: "The Commonwealth should consider tightening aspects of its resource taxes to ensure an approximately revenue neutral overall result is achieved." The two former premiers don't seem to mind that this would involve the government breaking its word.
Pessimists will argue that commodity prices and mining tax revenue can only fall from here.
But perhaps it is too soon to panic. Look at the petroleum resources rent tax, a profits-based tax that has existed since the 1980s which, in design, is very similar to the mining tax. That collected just $806 million in 2010-11 but this jumped to $2 billion the next year.
It is still plausible that if the global recovery continues, the mining tax, too, could get back on track.

Love Cruising: Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by 1865JFK
Overall Member Rating
Love Cruising
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
The Silhouette very new & almost like the Equinox that I had taken in 11/10, to the Panama Canal. I was a little disappointed as when I booked we were supposed to go to Alexandria as well, which was cancelled due to the problems in Egypt. My friends were thrilled as it gave them 4 days in Israel to see everything with friends of mine who are licensed tour guides. The son who is an archaeologist for the government in Haifa & the father who is a retired geologist when we were in Ashdod. They covered everything in the north and as far south as Masada & the Dead Sea as well as Jerusalem.
Our room attendants were superb as was our dining room waiter & assistant waiter. Our waiter left after this cruise on vacation to get married, but we were so thrilled with More our assistant waiter, that we requested that we sit at one of his tables (only 2 of us remained) for the transatlantic cruise to Bayonne on 10/22/11.
We changed cabins for the 10/22, cruise to the one we booked on deck 9 also concierge class when on the Equinox in 11/10. Our cabin steward was also very good but his assistant was not as good as the one in 1027.
As far as the food it was not the same as the Millennium in 2006 or Azamara Journey in 2009. Tops was the Millennium Westbound in 2006. The menu was even different (not as broad) even than the Equinox in 2010, but was satisfying.
The specialty restaurants were just so-so.
I am taking the Constellation on 3/24/12, in C1 and I was very disappointed to hear that Escargot has been taken off the menu as that is one of my favorite appetizers as well as the cold soups. The items being added according to one of the posts, do not interest me at all except for the whole lobster being added. I hope I can request the Escaragot or I will be very unhappy.
The Captain did a great job as our crossing from Lisbon to Bayonne was a rough one, but he went out of the way to make it a smooth sailing. We encountered 50 foot waves & winds in excess of 60 miles per hour. Our balcony on deck 9 was coated with salt & the outside decks were closed to passengers for most of the crossing. In all I still love Celebrity and have finally attained Elite Status which I am looking forward to the add'l perks. I will say however, that I would not take another Cruise Ship into Port Liberty New Jersey. Luggage was not where it was supposed to be, had to take a bus from the ship to the luggage/customs area & they are totally understaffed. Did not leave the ship until after noontime (after complaining) and had to catch a plane leaving at 1:15 PM. Just made it because the plane was leaving a few minutes late. I also had to jump the line in immigration. Less

Cabin review: C31027 Concierge Class
Not enough closet space or drawer space & we were only 2 in a cabin. Bathroom was beautiful, well lit, shower doors are a great asset, but hand held shower would have been nice. Also I missed the Elemis products previously given such as soap, shampoo, body lotion, etc. On Azamara they gave out large bottles of the items mentioned, instead of us having to keep asking for extras.Read All Concierge Class (C3) Reviews >>

Questions For Our Mothers: Annika's Mom
In honor of Mother's Day, we're interviewing our moms to find out how their lives changed when we were born and what they learned about love and life as a parent. Today, Annika's mom.
My mom and dad knew each other when they were growing up in Barbuda, an island in the Caribbean. They didn't get along, but as they became older, a romance blossomed when they both lived in NYC. My grandmother helped my dad become a U.S. citizen, and he was a part of the family before he and my mom married in 1979. I was born soon after, but my parents divorced after two or three years. Although I know my dad and spent time with him throughout my childhood, I have to say that it was my mom who did the day-to-day raising of me. She supported my creativity with dance and art lessons and taught me to develop my own opinions, even when my opinions caused me to get detention every day. That's why she and I have had this attitude that it's us against the world. My mom is my best friend and she's usually the person I prefer to talk to before everyone else. She's my sounding board and gives great hugs. But that's not to say we don't argue.
I know pretty much all there is to know about my mom's past, but I was still curious to ask her about being pregnant and raising me, her only child. Did you always know you wanted to be a mom?
Yes. I always played with dolls and babysat other people's babies. And I was a very bossy child. I thought I was everyone's mother. My most favorite moment of my childhood was when my niece Courtenay was born. I took the same sister to the hospital when she had her second child. And I was her birthing coach when she had her twins.
How was your life different before you had me?
Well, when you babysit, you can give the kid back, but when it's yours, you have to keep it. It took me a few months to realize no one was coming to get you. When my nieces would spend the night with me, we would do fun things and then they'd go home. It was a gradual realization that I was the only one responsible for you. Well, your dad was there, but we're talking about mothers. Basically, before you were born, I could go wherever I wanted when I wanted to. I didn't have to look for a babysitter. But on the other hand, there was this one little person who loved me unconditionally. You used to gaze at me adoringly. And you were damn cute!
What were your fears about becoming a mother?
Being responsible for a whole other life. Making sure that you were healthy, that you ate, that no one hurt you. I worried about SIDS, I worried about diaper rash, I worried about everything. We went to the doctor for your first checkup and the elevator doors almost closed on your head. And I realized that could have killed you. You were this fragile little thing. I was also afraid I wouldn't do a good job; that you'd grow up to be a bum.
What did you think when you found out you were pregnant with me?
I was happy. You were planned. It was relatively easy. But I also thought that if my sister could have twins in two hours, then it would only take me one hour. I was very surprised at how long I was in labor — 15 hours! And I was surprised at how much it hurt.
Do you have any regrets about how you raised me?
No. I did my best and I'm proud of the person you are, so obviously I did a good job. There have definitely been more joys than pain. I like you on the whole. I like the person you are, although, I might not agree with you all the time. Sometimes I look at you and think: "Where the hell did whatever you said come from?"
Was there ever a moment when you wanted to kill me?
Of course there were. Everyday between ages 17-and-a-half and 19. I could have killed you a couple of times when you were 12, too, because you lost your mind. I still loved you. Usually, you came to your senses. Right before I was about to go after you, you'd apologize.

Anam Rizvi
Flights Of Fantasy - Poem by Anam Rizvi
I want to run away,
Far from this hurt and pain,
Far from ridicules and hurtful words,
Far far from the stares and this unbridled world.
I want to fly away on a magic carpet,
Into the sunset where no sneers loom
No questions. No faces spelling doom.
Ah! a calm, quiet forest serene.
The flowers will bloom.
The birds will sing.
And maybe i will sing with them too.
I want to fly away on a flashing Nimbus '06.
I want to visit the fairies in their palaces, the gnomes in their cottages.
The pixies with their ears perked up will eat cookies by the fireside with me.
Lets go meet Big Ears and Noddy.
Lets cycle our way into their world.
We will meet Jasmine, Aladdin and Cinderella,
We will meet the Beast and pretty Belle.
No Nimbus comes.
No magic carpet swishing in the air.
No Harry Potter with a wand appears.
What i have is my hand running in a flurry of words across this page.
The refuge of my soul.
And Bliss.

After the vote to censure, Stubbs simply said, "All members of Congress are in need of humbling experiences from time to time."

It is Stubbs—historian Bishop—with witty saying falling from his lips.
Stubbs will be with me, and I feel strong enough to take command for the few hours you are away.

Colonel Stubbs was good and true; but so also very probably was Tom Tringle.
Mr. Stubbs's brother has got loose, an' he's tearin' 'round on the tent!
She confessed the fact, and declared she had been employed to do it by one Stubbs, a Papist, who had promised her five pounds.
There was no disposition on the part of Mr. Stubbs's brother to run away again.
Mr. Stubbs's brother demanded his master's attention about this time, owing to his attempts to make friends with the calf.

Illegal dumpers in Collier exposed by hidden cameras
Hidden cameras purchased through a grant have allowed Collier Township police to crack down on illegal dumping in the township.
The cameras, purchased six weeks ago with a grant from Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, have helped to identify people police accuse of illegally dumping rubbish. Police issued summary citations to three people this month because of what they say was caught on camera.
"These actions cause a serious blight to our community, jeopardize Collier's rural charm and appeal, put a drain on our public services and pollute our roadsides and creek beds," said township manager Sal Sirabella.
Collier police charged Danielle and Corwin Cosentino of South Fayette and Albert Jon Spader of Scott, who are accused of throwing away furniture and other items July 30 and Aug. 8.
Sirabella said all three were fined $1,000. They also are responsible for paying to properly dispose of the waste. Other items dumped included a microwave and television.
"Depending on the electronic, some have certain chemicals in them that can leach into the ground," said Heidi Pedicone, program director at Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, a nonprofit group based in Greensburg.
She said some stores and other local groups collect old electronics.
"It keeps them not just out of landfills but from being dumped, as well," she said.
Pedicone said she expects to see more communities moving toward surveillance to identify people dumping trash illegally, and because the Collier cameras have been so successful, officials of other townships already have been in contact because they are looking into starting similar programs.
"The problem is, the chances of someone actually being around when someone is visibly dumping are slim," Pedicone said. She said most dumping takes place late at night and on rural roads.
"With this, we're getting a picture of the person dumping and the license plate," she said. "It's basically the eyes are there when somebody's not able to watch."

Shortcut To Size: Phase 3, Week 10, Day 66
Active rest for the body, more knowledge for the mind. Follow the doctor's orders for best results!
Back | Main | Next
Doctor's Orders: Rest Means Nutrition
Often, bodybuilders think of rest days as time away from bodybuilding. Nothing could be further from the truth! You don't grow when you train; you grow from your training while you're recovering.
Your body can only effectively recover when it's not under assault by weights. A non-training day is also an ideal opportunity for you to load up on quality foods, but be vigilant with your diet. Don't take in more calories than you need.
Focus on lean protein and quality slow-digesting carbs, and give yourself a huge edge in building mass.
This goes for supplements, as well. Obviously you won't need your pre- and post-workout shakes on rest days. However, I suggest that you still get in one dose of creatine and beta-alanine, even on rest days, with your morning shake.
Active Rest
Remember that every rest day should be an active rest day. Rest days are for recovery; they're not an excuse to be lazy. Get out and hit 15-30 minutes of HIIT cardio today, or perform 30-60 minutes of your favorite activity: hiking, biking, walking, playing a sport, etc.

Today: Opening day pig roast at the Lobby
Looking for a new option for celebrating the Rockies home opener? Head to the Lobby, 2191 Arapahoe Street, for its inaugural opening-day celebration -- featuring a pig roast and purple beer on the patio -- from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The party's just $14.95 per person, and includes all-you-can-eat baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salad, rolls and three types of barbecue sauce; the hog was raised in Pueblo on a family farm, and the purple beer was provided by Del Norte Brewing, so it's truly a Colorado-centric way to kick off the baseball season.
This is the Lobby's first baseball season. It opened last September in the former home of Buenos Aires Grille -- and has one of the best outdoor patios in town. Could be just the place to start -- or end -- your day. For more information, call 303-997-9911 or visit www.thelobbydenver.com.

Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent will hold calling hours April 24 for Devon Conwell, a 15-year-old student who unexpectedly died last week.
Calling hours will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the high school, located at 1400 N. Mantua St.
Read: Friends, family gather at vigil to honor Kent Roosevelt teen
Devon, a sophomore, played on the Rough Riders basketball and football teams.
He collapsed during an Amateur Athletic Union team practice at the Pinnacle Sports facility in Twinsburg on April 17. Paramedics found Conwell in cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead at the Twinsburg Family Health and Surgery Center after resuscitation efforts failed.
Roosevelt coaches and administrators said Conwell not only had a great deal of potential in sports, but was also a "big, lovable guy" who made friends with everyone.
"Devon had a contagious smile that went wherever he went," Superintendent Joseph Giancola said after Conwell's death. He had a way of being positive and bringing everyone else up around him, because of his happy view of the world around him."
Donations to help the Conwell family may be given to The Devon Conwell Memorial Fund at Portage Community Bank.
This was a good kid that everyone I have talked to liked. It is hard to find someone like that in this day and age. I hope whether you know him or his family try to donate something to help the family out. I have very little being on disability but I'm putting something in the pot at Portage Community Bank. Plus a prayer for Devon, the family and all the people that give.

Customers don't just search, they research
(PRWEB UK) 24 April 2014
Dealers are being 'digitally bombed' by key parts of the automotive industry giving free advice to encourage them to take the massive changes in customer buying behaviour seriously.
As Automotive Management reported on 8th April, dealers find that customers 'already have their mind made up' before they visit a dealership. However that article and others are missing a key point – prospective customers don't just search for a car, they research the cars they want to buy and are increasingly looking to other car owners for their opinions.
WeLoveAnyCar.com now has the views and opinions of over 538,000 car owners on virtually every make and model of car sold in the UK today.
A spokesman for the site said, "We've made a massive investment in gathering the opinions of known car owners – no one can submit a review to our site without being asked. Once a review is submitted, we ask other drivers of the same derivative of car if they agree or disagree with the review. This 'digital diligence' avoids spurious and fake reviews."
According to Google, keen buyers will suck in information and will know a great deal about the car they want to buy. McKinsey & Company issued a paper in February 2014 which stated that 100% of used car buyers search on line first.
Most automotive commentators have missed a key change in car buyer behaviour. Prospective customers have been trained in review sites like TripAdvisor where they can find out what travellers thought of a hotel or holiday destination. Now they expect the same information to be available for cars for sale online and they expect it to be fair, accurate and up-to-date.
WeLoveAnyCar.com spokesman said, "On line sites have improved their search facilities. However, they're behind the curve, car buyers will spend even more time researching what car is best for them. There's no better way to do that than by asking other car owners who have lived with and paid for a car over the long term."
WeLoveAnyCar.com is planning to update their website in the next few weeks. In addition to a new look and appearance they will launch their 'StarSearch' facility to enable prospective buyers to research cars for sale based on car review ratings which is thought to be a first in the UK if not World Wide.
Whilst the site is customer facing, WeLoveAnycar.com will work with dealers to give them access to reviews on all the cars for sale on their forecourt by linking information via car registration numbers to its unique database.
WeLoveAnyCar.com spokesman said, "We plan to give dealers and dealer salesmen information on customer reviews on every car for sale on their forecourt where we have them. By working with dealers we think we can help salesman gain more information about the cars they have for sale. Better insight will help them preempt customer questions, learn more about a car's selling points and handle possible objections."

Polanco keeps thriving for Marauders
Pirates' No. 4 prospect continues hot start with four-RBI night
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 25, 2013 8:19 PM ET
Gregory Polanco broke out with an outstanding 2012 season. So far in 2013, he's been on a mission to prove it was no fluke.
The Pirates' No. 4 prospect doubled twice and drove in four runs Thursday night to lead Class A Advanced Bradenton to a 9-1 win over St. Lucie.
Polanco put up the game's first run in the fourth inning when his double brought home Alen Hanson. He helped give the Marauders a 2-1 lead in the sixth when he walked and came around to score on a single by Dan Gamache.
But the 21-year-old outfielder really broke it up one frame later. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Polanco ripped a bases-clearing double to highlight a six-run seventh inning.
The four RBIs represented an early-season high and his most in a single game since he drove in all four runs last July 31 for Class A West Virginia in a 4-2 win over Hagerstown. His career high is six, achieved on June 28, 2010 for the Pirates' Gulf Coast League affiliate.
Through 19 games with Bradenton, the Dominican Republic native owns a .347 average with an .882 OPS, one home run, six doubles and 11 RBIs. He leads the Florida State League with nine steals, is eighth in average and tied for eighth in doubles at this early juncture.
That follows a breakout 2012 season during which Polanco had a .325/.388/.522 slash line with 16 homers and 85 RBIs in 116 games for West Virginia. After not batting higher than .229 in his previous three seasons in the Pirates system, he was named the South Atlantic League Player of the Year and a postseason and midseason All-Star. The effort helped vault him to No. 64 on MLB.com's list of top 100 prospects.
While Polanco has shown consistency this season, Hanson -- the Pirates' No. 3 and MLB.com's No. 54 overall prospect -- has started to turn it on in the Sunshine State. The 20-year-old shortstop went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored Thursday from the top of the Marauders' lineup. He has collected three multi-hit games in his last four contests, during which he is 9-for-18. That has boosted his average from .190 last Saturday to .267.

The troubled starlet has reportedly landed herself another job as she has allegedly been hired to bare her skin for her sex-addicted waitress role in new film 'Florence'.
The "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" star Lindsay Lohan has been reported to do a stripping scene in a new film entitled "Florence". According to press release, the 21-year-old movie star has been tapped to play a sex-addicted waitress in the movie.
Additionally, Star Magazine claimed that the rehab darling will get as much as $75,000 for portraying the edgy character as well as to bare her skin on screen. Further, it was said that the actress/singer took the opportunity to play the controversial role to show others she still has her acting skills. To the publication, a source revealed, "She just wants to remind people she can act and she's worth hiring."
The news of her being signed for the film came just days after she is being reported to be signed in to star in a Junction Films' thriller project "Manson Girls". In the film that is based on the real-life convicted murderer Charles Manson, Lohan is set to play, Nancy Pitman, a young wealthy girl who ran away from her Malibu home to join Manson and his extreme cult.

The unconventional band's frontwoman Ana Matronic gave a shout out to a 1960s serial killer Bible John during their performance in Glasgow.
The Scissor Sisters have come under fire from fans in Scotland after they dedicated a song during a recent show in Glasgow to an infamous serial killer. The band was performing at Glasgow's Barrowlands venue on Wednesday, June 16 night, when singer Ana Matronic gave a 'shout-out' to 'Bible John' - the name of an unidentified killer who murdered three young women in the city during the 1960s. The killer was never caught.
She told the audience, "I would like to dedicate the next song to Bible John." But fans at the event were left aghast by the dedication. One concertgoer tells Britain's The Sun, "The Scissor Sisters are a bit weird but that was a bit crass."
"It doesn't matter how young you are, everyone in Glasgow knows about the murders. The victims must have relatives who are still alive so it maybe wasn't the wisest move."

Cadets enjoy the Illustrious
Cadets and officers from the Malta GC Unit of the Sea Cadet Corps recently had the pleasure of standing on the ski-ramp of HMS Illustrious as the carrier entered gently into Grand Harbour.
Six cadets, accompanied by three officers from the Malta GC Unit, who flew to Sicily and made their way to Augusta, joined the ship the next day as it prepared to sail to Malta. Their voyage, albeit a short one, was packed with all sorts of activities on board.
This year, the Malta GC Unit, which is affiliated to HMS Illustrious, celebrated 50 years since theunit's first visit on HMS Phoenicia on Manoel Island in 1962. The unit has three sections, open to boys and girls aged between 10 and 18, and a detachment of Royal Marines Cadets, open to youngsters from the age of 13.
Cadets meet twice a week and most weekends to learn a variety of skills, including seamanship, sailing, power boating, cooking and stewarding. Perhaps the greatest things cadets learn are respect, self-reliance and leadership.
During its stay in Malta, HMS Illustrious continued to involve the Malta GC Unit in its activities. During the reunification ceremony of the Three Trumpets on the hangar deck, cadets escorted the trumpets and presented them to the respective mayors of Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea.
On the days the ship was open to visitors, the Malta GC Unit set up a stand on the hangar deck to raise funds for the new ship that will be replacing the sail training ship Royalist. The ship is being replaced by a bigger sailing brig for use by the sea cadets over the next 30 years.
The Malta GC Unit thanked Capt. Martin Connell who, besides commanding HMS Illustrious, is also an honorary president of the Malta GC Unit, the Royal Navy and all those who helped make the visit such a success for the cadets.

Last spring, western Montana's cross-country skiing community received some incredible news. Former Olympian John Morton—co-owner of the Vermont-based recreational planning company Morton Trails—had completed a feasibility study for a high-end Nordic events and training center due north of Seeley Lake. The study, requested by the Missoula Area Economic Development Corporation and financed in part by the Montana Department of Commerce, was the first major step toward establishing what Seeley Lake residents and businesses hope will be a nationally renowned Nordic hotspot.
Now the Seeley Lake Nordic Challenge Steering Committee, the citizen group behind the plan, has more good news. The U.S. Forest Service this summer earmarked $450,000 for improvements to the existing 15-kilometer Seeley Creek trail system, which will provide the foundation for additional interconnected Nordic trail networks throughout the valley in years to come. The improvements are tentatively set for 2013, and the Forest Service intends to consider new trail opportunities when conducting forest cuts in the Seeley area.
Adrienne Marx, Seeley Lake Community Council chair and member of the steering committee, says it's further proof that the cross-country skiing plan is a "no-brainer" in the eyes of locals, the state, and the federal government.
"The Forest Service, because of the momentum we created, thought, 'What can we do to make this come along faster?'" Marx says. So Forest Service officials in Montana submitted an investment proposal to the agency headquarters in Washington, D.C. Out of 80 such proposals submitted nationwide, Seeley's was one of only 20 that survived the first cut. From there they were whittled down to 10 finalists. "And the Nordic center, the trail system here, ended up eighth on the list," Marx says.
Seeley Lake still has a long road ahead before it sees new cross-country trails, day lodges and enhanced grooming. The preferred plan, which would cost close to $3.2 million, is to cut another 125 kilometers of trail in the area, build connecting sidewalks and waxing cabins, and construct a venue for Nordic competitions and biathlons. The steering committee is currently working on getting nonprofit status. Until then, Marx says, they'll continue to develop the project with fundraising assistance from Missoula County Rural Initiatives, an arm of the county government.
When the Department of Commerce first offered the steering committee a $15,000 grant to fund a feasibility study for the Nordic center, the deal came with a catch: Seeley had to raise an additional $10,000. The state gave residents 90 days to come up with the cash. Marx says they did it in less than 60.
"It's become an economic driver," Marx says. "It'll of course help Seeley Lake, but it's also noted that Missoula will benefit greatly, as well as the region."
The steering committee's hope is to one day draw national and international talent to Seeley Lake for training, perhaps even for Nordic competitions. Attracting accomplished athletes like John Morton, who visited last winter to conduct the feasibility study, will also be an inspiration to local youngsters, Marx says.
"The kids are all out skiing now," she adds. Some of them even entered last year's Over Seeley's Creeks and Ridges, an annual Nordic marathon. "Two little boys rode their bikes over snowy roads, towing their skis behind them, just to race."
