Notice to end-users using Sigma's HSM equipped lens with Nikon D200 camera
To our valued customers,
AF function of our HSM equipped lenses do not operate when "AF operation button" on the back of the body of Nikon "D200" digital SLR camera (recently introduced to the market by Nikon) is used. This problem is caused due to a firmware "bug" of our HSM equipped lenses.
We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause our customers who own D200 camera and we are committed to making this situation right. In this respect, we will start updating firmware of these lenses free of charge today.
Please also note that if "shutter button" is used for AF operation of HSM equipped lenses, camera and lens combination works without any problem.
This problem occurs with HSM equipped lenses only. Non-HSM models of Sigma lenses function properly with D200 camera.

When I mention the phrase to James Naughtie, the perky Scot who this month celebrates his first year as a presenter of Today, his face turns scarlet for a moment. Grilling someone whose job is to probe the weak spots of public figures, it is endearing to discover that he recognises one in himself.
"I try to stop it," he confesses shyly. "You do develop these verbal tics and I'm lucky that I have an editor [Roger Mosey] who's quick at spotting them. He'll ring me after the programme and say: `You've done it again!' There's a great danger that you'll fall into habits you don't recognise, and you need the candid friend.
"Another problem is that I ask questions that go round the block and back again. It's a lack of mental discipline, but I'm working on it. Persuading myself to be briefer and more concise is my main task."
This is starting to get a bit embarrassing, like a session of self-revelation at Circumlocutors Anonymous ("Hello, my name's Jim and I talk too much"). The truth is that the 43-year-old Naughtie, in his first year as a presenter of the nation's most influential radio programme, has proved an immense success at the formidible task of replacing the much-loved and lamented Brian Redhead, whose Mancunian spirit still hovers over the place: a large picture of him dominates the corridor outside the Today office, while inside is a framed certificate of the posthumous award given him by the Broadcasting Press Guild.
As for "But you see ...", it often signals a particularly acute moment when Naughtie is about to tell his interview subject that what he or she has just said may sound all very fine, but you see that is not quite how it looks to the man on the Clapham omnibus. It is an irritating device only because it is so often repeated and because it sounds a shade patronising, as if he is having to spell something out to an especially dumb school pupil.
"In the end," he explains, "you're asking the question that most people wait to hear asked, not to sound clever or make some grand point that can be picked up by some columnist. They're sitting at breakfast or driving their cars to work and they want you to ask the question they would ask if they could: `Why?' "
The big interview is not the only task that Naughtie - along with the other four regular Today presenters - performs, but it is the one that provokes the most debate and the most brickbats. When John Birt, the BBC director-general, attacked what he saw as the over-aggressive tactics of some interviewers, the Today team, and particularly Naughtie's colleague John Humphrys, were thought to be among his targets.
Naughtie and Humphrys are certain that Birt was not, in fact, gunning for them. They told me why when I met them together on one fairly routine morning, just after a programme that had included two low-key interviews with second-tier cabinet ministers and a potentially dangerous one with Liz Forgan, managing director of BBC Radio.
"We know Birt wasn't getting at us," says Naughtie. "If there was a feeling that we weren't going the right way, we'd know, and, in fact, we know quite the opposite, that the programme is greatly valued. We get direct messages from on high."
Just as important as the occasional blessing from on high are the numerous messages the presenters receive from members of their daily congregation.
"We get thousands of letters," says Humphrys, "and in 90 per cent of them the theme is the same: don't let up. We don't get many complaints from politicians, either. Most of them rather like it.
"The irritating thing about people who sound off is the implication that it's all wham-bam-thank you-ma'am. A lot of our interviews are quite discursive. It's the aggressive ones that catch the headlines and stick in the mind, but the truth is that an awful lot of them aren't. This morning, I had an almost philosophical discussion with Brian Mawhinney about the future of transport. Nobody was trying to score points."
Naughtie agrees: "In some interviews you're not there to put someone on the spot but to discover something. It isn't all a great confrontation of `Explain yourself, minister'. Some are and some aren't.
"Our audience want us to look at issues that matter to them, what they'll be talking about in the pub. The purpose is never to gaze at our own navels or count how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. If we did that, people would start switching off, and they don't."
The audience figures bear him out. Last year, the first without Redhead, the number of people listening to at least 15 minutes of the programme in any one week was up from 5.4 million to 5.5 million, and its share of all radio listeners within its time slot rose from 14 per cent to 16 per cent - a creditable achievement, given increased competition from commercial stations. The average audience for the programme at any time in its 6.30 to 9am slot is 1.8 million.
That is why politicians, although they sometimes complain about the tone of the interviews, are seldom reluctant to take part. Despite breakfast television, Today remains the place where they can be certain that what they have to say will be picked up by other media and chewed over, becoming a required text for that day's instalment of the national debate. And if the interviewers were less acerbic, the politicians would not feel so proud of themselves for having managed to put their message across.
Indeed, the criticism that hurt Naughtie most was not that he was too sharp but that on one particular occasion he was too soft. At last autumn's Labour Party conference, it fell to him to interview Tony Blair after his first speech as leader. His opening question: "Were you nervous?"
"I thought it was a good question," he explains, "the kind of thing people would want to know. But I was subjected to a lot of good-natured flak from cabinet ministers, who said things like: `Gosh, I hope you aren't going to ask me difficult questions like that!' "
Naughtie joined Today after more than five years as presenter of The World at One, a more leisurely news programme, with none of the spicy early morning dramas of flood alerts and traffic jams on the M6 that give Today its sense of urgency. Before that he was a political journalist on the Scotsman and the Guardian.
Naughtie is on duty from Monday to Thursday, with Humphrys doing Wednesday to Saturday, so they are usually together on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Humphrys, 51, was also formerly a newspaper journalist, and both insist they are happiest when reporting a story. Occasionally, they are allowed out on the road - last year Humphrys went to South Africa and Naughtie to the United States for the mid-term elections.
"Like other journalists," says Humphrys, "we like to break a good story or tell a story well."
Like other journalists, Naughtie interrupts: "The best part of this job is the number of people you meet during the day who've heard you that morning and want to talk about what you've done. That's very satisfying for a journalist. Although John and I are different in that we ask questions in different ways, we're both very journalistic in our approach because that's our background."

By Sgt. 1st Class Mark F. OunanJuly 1, 2009
The following was written by Sgt. 1st Class Mark F. Ounan, an Active/ Guard infantry Soldier currently assigned to the 324th Military Police Btn., Chambersburg, Pa. Ounan is also the only current Soldier and Military Vehicle Preservation Association member taking place in the 2009 MVPA Convoy. Here's an exert from the journal he's keeping as he travels cross-country.
From Rawlins, Wyo., to Green River, Wyo., it was mostly highway driving.
We were doing about 40 miles-per-hour and the Dodge does not like to go that fast. The tractor trailers whizzing by makes it feel like you're being blown off the road.
When we got to Green River we participated in a parade through town, and afterward parked the vehicles by the railroad yard. The city sponsored a barbecue for all of the convoy participants and the townspeople. We sat on the grass under the trees and had a lovely afternoon listening to music and talking with the townspeople. It was a great afternoon.

Finally, the production design was determined. "We went with the one we felt was the most provocative, sporty, and luxurious," says Mr. Gilles.
But the design process didn't stop there. Style and aesthetics started to give way to practical considerations, like aerodynamics. "We don't concern ourselves with aero too much when we're doing theme searching. The thing that concerned senior management most was the grille. I wanted the cant-forward grille but management looked at it and thought it wouldn't work. So we went and built a second version with the grille leaning back but it didn't make a difference (in aerodynamics). By the time we were done we beat the aerodynamic stretch goal for (the new Ram)," recounts Mr. Gilles. Even though it's prominent, the new Ram actually has less frontal grille area exposed to the wind than the exiting truck.
In contrast to the exterior design, the interior design was limited to only two themes and was locked down very early in the 2009 Ram's design process, according to Mr. Gilles. "We did that to allow ourselves a lot of time to execute on the interior. We found in the past this had been our downfall because we didn't give ourselves enough time to understand all of the interior joins and how to have materials coexist," he says. A great deal of attention was also paid to ergonomics, like button sizes and controls placement moved closer to the driver.
The selected interior theme is truck-like while the other theme that was considered was more car-like, with softer organic shapes. "We wanted an interior that told the story of power and substance," says Mr. Gilles.
After three years of work and many tough choices, the end result is the next-generation 2009 Dodge Ram that carries forward the truck's big rig looks but with a design that's the most subtle and refined since its iconic shaped first appeared almost fifteen years ago.

Nickname is the sixth episode of Uncle Grandpa Season 1, and the sixth overall episode of the series.
Uncle Grandpa helps a kid named Eric earn a nickname.
Character Appearances
Major Characters
Minor Characters
The episode begins with The UG RV crashing on top of a school bus in front of Larry Big Shirt, Blondie, Spaghetti Legs, DuckHead Donnie, and Eric. Uncle Grandpa and Pizza Steve jump out of the RV and are greeted by the kids with excitement. Mr. Gus steps out and the kids don't seem too enthusiastic. Uncle Grandpa greets each kid until he gets to Eric. Uncle Grandpa asks who he is but doesn't seem satisfied with the answer. Instead, he laughed and asked for Eric's nickname. Eric admits that he doesn't have a nickname.
The other kids sigh in disappointment at Eric's lack of a nickname, and Pizza Steve reinforces this disappointment before asking the other kids if they want to hang. He leaves with the other kids, leaving Uncle Grandpa with Eric. Mr. Gus comes up to Eric to reassure him that you can be nifty no matter who you are. When Mr. Gus leaves, Uncle Grandpa gives Eric a reassuring story about how he didn't have a nickname when he was younger but later on was able to achieve one. Eric asks how one would be able to achieve a nickname, so Uncle Grandpa explains that one must do something legendary to achieve a nickname.
Eric asks how he can go about performing a legendary act. Uncle Grandpa looks around and finally points to someone's house. Uncle Grandpa makes duplicates of himself so he can plant a fertilizer called "Uncle Grandpa Gro" all over the yard. Once he does, the yard becomes unruly and jungle like. Uncle Grandpa tells Eric that he needs to tame the yard in order to become legendary.
When Eric sees the yard, he doesn't believe he could tame it himself. Uncle Grandpa reassures him that he will help Eric by writing down all of his achievements. Eric then agrees to tame the yard and they set out to work. First, Eric's task was to blow leaves into a pile. At first, he was doing okay. However, Uncle Grandpa turned up the power on the leaf blower he was using, causing Eric to fly around the yard and force all of the leaves off of one tree into a pile after slamming into it at full speed. Next, Eric's task was to whack weeds. Eric used a weed whacker to do so, not having an issue at first. After he whacked the last patch of weeds, he found an opossum that was sleeping. At first, he expressed how cute he thought it was, but before Eric could do anything else the opossum turned rabid and attacked him.
Eric's next task was to remove a tree stump from the ground. With some effort, Eric was able to pull it out. Unfortunately for him, a bee hive fell out of the hole in the stump and a swarm of angry bees attacked him. Eric's final quest, according to Uncle Grandpa, was to cut down an unkempt topiary bush. Eric thought that was easy enough, so he went to go cut the bush. Much to Eric's unfortunate surprise, the bush fought back and began to hit him over the head. Eric told Uncle Grandpa that the bush must not really be a bush. The bush even came out of the ground to reveal it's real identity, Topiary Bush Dragon. Uncle Grandpa, despite all evidence, insisted that it was definitely a bush. Even Belly Bag told Uncle Grandpa that it was not a bush, but Uncle Grandpa did not listen. It took the dragon to breathe fire in Uncle Grandpa's face for Uncle Grandpa to recognize that it was not a bush, but a dragon.
Uncle Grandpa tells Eric that in order for him to become legendary, he must slay the dragon. Uncle Grandpa grows a large bean stalk that stops the RV in mid air. Once the RV is stopped, Uncle Grandpa asks Mr. Gus to give him the barbarian sword. Mr. Gus gives him the sword, and in turn he gives it to Eric. Eric takes hold of the sword and transforms into a big, muscular, deep voiced man. Eric is ready to slay the dragon, but Uncle Grandpa informs him that Eric must save him to also become legendary. After that was established, the topiary bush dragon captured Uncle Grandpa. Eric and the dragon begin fighting. They fight for a bit, but before Eric could finish fighting the dragon, it melted his sword. Eric didn't know what to do next, but Uncle Grandpa reminded him to do something legendary.
Eric picked up a leaf blower and began to blow back the creature's fire breath away. This angered the dragon, and made the dragon grab his blower and chuck it away. At the same time, the dragon grabbed Eric and began to slam him around. Eric reached his foot to the best of his ability toward the weed whacker. He was successfully able to grab the weed whacker as he grabbed it and cut off the vine arms that were binding him. The dragon screamed in pain and Eric dropped to the ground, accidentally breaking the weed whacker. The dragon grabs him again and chucks him into the shed. Not a second later, Eric comes out with a tractor that has it's mowing setting on the highest speed. With the tractor, he decapitates one of the dragon's heads and grabs Uncle Grandpa. Just as they are about to ride away, the dragon's other head crashes itself into the tractor, sending the tractor and Uncle Grandpa flying and pinning Eric to the ground.
Uncle Grandpa gives Eric some encouraging words as he fends off the dragon. This gives Eric the idea of grabbing the dragon's tooth and whipping the dragon around. Once Eric gains enough momentum, the tooth detaches from the dragon and the dragon goes flying into the sun, where it burns up and dies.
Pizza Steve and the kids were watching the entire thing, and were extremely impressed with Eric. Eric approaches Uncle Grandpa and asks him if he has become legendary. Uncle Grandpa recalls Eric's legendary story before announcing that he is truly legendary and has now earned a nickname. Eric waits in excited anticipation before Uncle Grandpa announces that his nickname is Cupcake because he likes cupcakes. Eric is a little disappointed at first, but he then learns to love his new nickname when the other kids gush about how awesome it was that he slayed a dragon. Pizza Steve asks the kids if they want to hang out again, this time including Eric. Unfortunately for Steve and the kids, Uncle Grandpa informs Pizza Steve that they have to go buy a new barbarian sword at the mall. Pizza Steve loves the mall, so he gladly follows Uncle Grandpa back to the RV.
- It is revealed that Uncle Grandpa's nickname is Bobo.
- Bobo means zany in Portuguese. It also means stupid in Tagalog.
- This along with Moustache Cream are the last episodes to air with two segments.
- This episode was summarized in "Uncle Greedpa".

Judge's ruling sets back stem cell research
On a Far-Reaching Judicial Ruling
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, August 26, 2010
Talk about judicial activism. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth just ruled that the federal government can't fund any stem cell research because it destroys embryos. He voided not just President Obama's stem cell policy, but former President George W. Bush's policy, too.
Lamberth relied on a reading of the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, which forbids federal funding of "research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed." The anti-abortion community is ecstatic, but the ruling goes far further than even Bush's policies on stem cells. Bush approved federal funding of research on stem cell lines that existed by August 2001. It's unlikely that even this policy would be allowed under Lamberth's reasoning.
The Obama administration is already planning an appeal, as it should. Congress could, and should, easily clarify things by simply passing a stem cell funding bill. That would eliminate the need to go through the courts, and the bill would be unlikely to encounter a presidential veto this time around.
In the meantime, the scientific community is frustrated and confused. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine will be able to press on with its embryonic stem cell research, thanks to the wisdom of California's voters. But it means the institute's scientists won't be able to collaborate with those whose funding was dependent on federal grants.
Latest news videos
Congress should move quickly to ensure that this potentially valuable research can continue.

De Thou
DE THOU is the Livy of the French nation. I will not dwell on the purity and the elegance of his style, his deep penetration into the mysteries of the cabinets of princes, nor on his accuracy, his impartiality, and, in a word, his historic excellence. I refer the reader, for a character of this historian, to a paper in the Essays of the ingenious Mr. Knox. I offer only a trait of his eloquence; which, at once, shews the man was not less amiable than the historian was admirable.
"How much," exclaims Bourbon, "does the perusal of the History of the President De Thou make a reader wish, if he is possessed of a feeling heart, fervidly to wish, to meet in his friend a soul like his! He preserved inviolable the ties of friendship. Attentive to fill the duties which it exacts, he did not only render all the services he could to his friends, but he sought every occasion to distinguish them by praise; and he did this with such an effusion of tender sentiment, and ingenuous ardour, that Envy herself could not take offence at the eulogiums of a rival. After having filled a page with the praises of Pierre Pithou, he closes his eulogium by adding, that he would say more—if he was not his friend!"

Vietnamese Summer Rolls
Slideshow: Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Servings: MAKES 16 ROLLS
- 4 ounces rice vermicelli
- 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
- Sixteen 8-inch round Asian rice papers
- 1 bunch watercress, large stems discarded
- 2 large carrots, finely shredded
- 1 red bell pepper, cored and cut into thin strips
- 2 Hass avocados—peeled, pitted and sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
- Herbed Nuoc Cham
How to make this recipe
In a medium bowl, cover the vermicelli with cool water and let soak until pliable, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan of boiling water, cook the shrimp until bright pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a colander. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. Halve the shrimp lengthwise; cover and refrigerate.
Bring the water back to a boil. Add the drained vermicelli and cook, stirring, until al dente, about 1 minute. Drain and rinse until completely cool. Let the vermicelli dry in the colander for about 20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
Dip each rice paper in a bowl of cool water to wet it. Set the rice paper on a work surface to soften; the paper will become opaque and pliable. Pat dry. Put 4 shrimp halves, cut side up, in a line across the lower third of each rice paper. Top with 2 or 3 sprigs of watercress, a large pinch of shredded carrot, 2 strips of red pepper and some of the vermicelli. Press to flatten, then top with a slice of avocado. Pull the rice paper up and over the filling and roll up tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Place the roll on a large platter, seam side down, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. When all the summer rolls are made, cut them in half crosswise and arrange, cut side up, on the platter. Serve the summer rolls with the Herbed Nuoc Cham for dipping.
Make Ahead
The summer rolls can be tightly wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 1 hour.
Suggested Pairing
The brisk acidity and bright, tangy fruit of an Italian Pinot Grigio would play off the spicy watercress in these rolls and the citrusy lime sauce.

Stay Fit and Healthy By Playing Safely to Prevent Sports Injuries
Playing sports is a great way for your child to stay fit and healthy, learn about teamwork, make friends, and develop a sense of personal satisfaction. However, children and teens are at high risk for sports and recreation-related injuries, many of which are preventable. As the new school year begins and fall sports are underway, the Oklahoma State Department of Health urges the practice of safety precautions that can prevent sports and recreation-related injuries.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year in the U.S., emergency departments treat an estimated 173,285 sports and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) among children and teens to age 19. In Oklahoma in 2010, about 25 percent of hospitalized TBIs in children and teens to age 19 were a result of injuries from all-terrain vehicle crashes, cycling, football, and horseback riding.
A type of TBI of particular concern for youth is a concussion, which is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way the brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. Children and teens are more likely to get a concussion and take longer to recover from it than adults. Concussion symptoms may appear mild, but the injury can lead to problems affecting how a person thinks, learns, acts, and feels. Symptoms differ with each person and with each injury, and they may not be noticeable for hours or days. Common symptoms include:
Concussions can occur outside of sports, or during any recreation activity, so all parents and caregivers need to recognize the signs and know what to do if a concussion occurs. A quick reference is to remember the ABCs of concussions: Assess the situation, Be alert for signs and symptoms, and Contact a health care professional. To protect against concussions, follow the coach's rules for safety and the rules of the sport; practice good sportsmanship at all times; and if you think you have a concussion or know someone who might, don't hide it. Report it and seek medical attention.
For more information on concussions, contact the OSDH Injury Prevention Service at (405) 271-3430 or visit http://ips.health.ok.gov and click on "Traumatic Brain Injury" in the left navigation column.

War threatens revenues on Suez Canal
The Suez Canal, Egypt's second biggest source of income after tourism, is looking at a 10% slump in revenues if the US goes to war with Iraq, the Canal Authority said.
Talking to reporters on the announcement of record earnings, the Suez Canal Authority's chairman, Lieutenant-General Ahmed Ali Fadel, said that the decimation of revenues would come in the early stages of any conflict.
What happened after that would depend on how long any military action lasted, he said.
The SCA had drawn up a "security plan to protect the canal", he said, although he was unwilling to elaborate on the details.
The risk to revenues from the canal - which runs from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea across the isthmus between Africa and Asia - would spoil what seems to have been an exceptional year.
The canal earned Egypt $1.95bn in the 12 months to June 2002, up on the previous year.
The performance is only just shy of the $1.96bn brought in during 1993, the best year in the canal's 133-year history.
The boost to Egypt's coffers has come at a good time, too, given that the attacks of 11 September 2001 triggered a sharp fall in earnings from tourism
The country has had its share of bombings and shootings of Westerners in recent years, and the nervousness which followed the New York and Washington attacks rekindled concerns.
Tourism is slowly returning to normal now, as recent figures for Egypt's reserves of foreign currency demonstrated.
The Central Bank reported on 26 December that reserves were $14.05bn in September, up $131m on the previous month and largely the result of rising numbers of visitors, according to economists.
But fears about war in the Middle East mean that the numbers have begun to fall again, meaning that both Egypt's most lucrative earners of foreign currency could be hit at the same time.
The number of visitors to Egypt fell to 498,000 in September from a record 574,000 in August.
Tourist nights totalled 2.96 million in September, down from 4.2 million in August.

Published: April 4, 2011 at 9:20 AMVoted for Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas. It has been a family tradition since the event began in 1990 and it truly makes our Christmas season special!
Published: April 4, 2011 at 10:05 AMDollywood makes our Holiday much more special. We go to Pigeon Forge for Thanksgiving and spend that day relaxing as a family and the rest of our vacation is spent at Dollywood enjoying the shows and loving the way that they really bring home the true meaning of Christmas. From the birth of Christ to the trueness of Santa Claus. We wouldn't miss it.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 10:12 AMIn my mind, a vote for Dollywood is a vote for Silver Dollar City. Gotta give my props to Herschend for doing such a great job on a much smaller budget than the big boys.
Besides, Christmas is hands down a better holiday than Halloween. At least you get a day off out of it!
Published: April 4, 2011 at 11:16 AMI gave it to Halloween Horror Nights. Truthfully, I haven't experienced either, but I always love the amount of PR gold that goes into HHN. I always visit the creatively designed website, watch behind the scenes exposés, and read any trip reports related to HHN on this site.
Celebrating the true meaning of Christmas means the event is limited to Christians. Celebrating the true meaning of Halloween can be done by all. HHN has a broader appeal and takes the cake, in my book.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 11:23 AMHad to vote for our favorite Park... Dollywood! We buy season passes every year because it is such a fun place to visit while camping in the Smoky Mountains. This park stays up to date with attractions, family oriented & really cares about its guests. We enjoy the Smoky Mtn Christmas every year at Dollywood. Even in the cooler weather you can ride rides, walk around and see the lights and just have a great time all day! We camp in our travel trailer in Pigeon Forge & usually stay for 7-10 every other month. While there it is a must to visit Dollywood at least 2-3 days out of our stay and sometimes more! Love it!!! :)
Published: April 4, 2011 at 11:46 AMDollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas event is so well done. Every detail is looked at to make your stay a great event. The park offers so much to do with all of the rides as well as many great shows. The park is decked out more than anywhere I have ever seen and they even provide great themed food as well. We go for 2 or 3 days each year and enjoy every minute of it. We travel 9 hours to make the trip each way. The park offers more then you can do in just one day. Great Job Dollywood, I hope you win this tournament!
Published: April 4, 2011 at 11:56 AMSmoky Mountain Christmas is to good to pass up. Visit at least 4 times during the festival alone. They continuously update it every year as well so there is always something new to see or do!
Published: April 4, 2011 at 12:16 PMChristmas is my families favorite time of the year to visit theme parks. It is something that always seems to bring us closer together each year. While the Christian aspect of Dollywood is great its not the only reason we love it so much. Its their ability to keep the family atmosphere in the park and share that warmth with their visitors that makes us return year after year.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 4:09 PMI love Dollywood especially at Christmas. They truly present Christ in everything they do. I hope you win. You truly deserve too.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 6:10 PMseason pass holders we love dollywood.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 6:13 PMIf Halloween Horror Nights doesn't win then this is going to be the worst late April fools joke ever.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 6:43 PMI am truly shocked. How does Dollywood surpass the great Universal HHN's like this? Very interesting...
Published: April 4, 2011 at 7:26 PMDollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas is AMAZING! It is not just great because of its size and magnitude based on the fact it is at a regional park like Dollywood. This much attention to detail to ANY parks Christmas event would make it spectacular! They have won the "Best Christmas Event" Golden Ticket now all 3 years it has been a category, even receiving more than double the votes Magic Kingdom did in 2010. It is an event that everyone who enjoys the Christmas season should experience at least once in their life. Although they will need to visit twice since you can not possibly see all the Christmas festival has to offer in one day. 7 unique shows, Polar Express 4D Experience, a Santa's workshop with "larger-than-life" sized toys, Breakfast with santa, 4 million Christmas lights, and the FOOD! They are constantly adding new displays and updating shows and food menu's.
Overall Dollywood just captures what the Christmas season is all about and that is why I voted for Smoky Mountain Christmas!
Published: April 4, 2011 at 8:17 PMDollywood all the way Halloween is not a real holiday only some countries celebrate it more people celebrate Christmas.
Published: April 4, 2011 at 11:19 PMThe joy's of spending time with my family at Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas are one's I will never forget! I hope to one day share this event with my own children as my parents did with me. Dollywood has definitely helped create some wonderful emotional connections between their family and ours.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 6:41 AMAs a season pass holder for many years, Dollywood is the best for young and old alike. It is a magic wonderland of lights, sounds, smells at Christmastime. Wonderful!
Published: April 5, 2011 at 8:04 AMWhether HHN wins or not, it surpasses anything else. End.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 8:24 AMSmokey Mountain Christmas is just amazing. The feel of love, peace, joy and all the things that Christmas entails is there. Not to mention the shows, the food, and the lights. How could this not be your favorite seasonal theme of any park. In America, how could we forget the true meaning of Christmas. This is a commercial park, but the feeling is the least commercial of any park I've been too, and that says a lot since Christmas has become so commercial in the last 20 years.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 8:37 AMWe buy Season tickets to Dollywood and use them frequently since we live only an hour's drive away. Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas is an event that always brings great joy and happiness to our whole family and we look forward to it knowing how much fun we are going to have. Ever see a 64 year old grandma act like I kid? That would be me......
Published: April 5, 2011 at 8:51 AMUniversal studios Florida's halloween horror night of course!!!
Published: April 5, 2011 at 9:52 AMThis is so great. Dollywood is one of the great treasures of the theme park industry. They are the top in making its guests family and not just a dollar figure. There staff truly cares that you have the best time you can.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 9:54 AMDollywood is tops, I take my family down to Pigeon Forge 3 or 4 times a year. We love all of the Festivals at Dollywood but Christmas is just the best.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 10:16 AMThe guy who keeps making the posts about Christmas being limited to Christians...please explain why the athiests are the first ones Christmas shopping and also learn the facts, Halloween also has it's roots in Christianity, All Hallo's Eve, the lead in to All Saint's Day. The modern celebration of Halloween is a combination of that Christian Holy Day and the druid's festivals. Either way, Dollywood wins hands down with their portrayal of the true Christmas Spirit.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 11:27 AMYeah! My favorite theme park in the US won, with my favorite theme! Visit Dollywood often and enjoy the seasonal treats!
Published: April 5, 2011 at 3:09 PMI was just having a little fun and I realize All Hallows Eve was affiliated with Christianity, but since people retorted...
As of 2008:
American Christians: 78.4%
American Atheists: 1.6%
American Agnostics: 2.4%
I'd say that's a pretty big divide, no?
Regardless, congrats to Dollywood. I'll have to check out that event sometime down the road.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 3:56 PMQuestion to you Robert. Where were all these 1397 people during the last 10 months and why are so many not even registered on TPI? The same thing happened last year so that the results are nothing but ballot box stuffing. What's the sense of an everyday TPI member voting, only to have a lot of new posters jumping on board just to vote in their home park event or ride? All posters should be registered in order to vote, atleast we everyday members can see who's posting comments and maybe there won't be so much ballot box stuffing. JMHO.
Published: April 5, 2011 at 4:39 PMA Christian is someone who follows the example of Christ, not someone who "says" they follow the example of Christ.
I'd put the tally as follows:
True Christians: 1% (Jesus)
Everybody Else: 99%.
As for the voting, all are welcome. Dollywood got involved and mobilized their fans through Twitter and Facebook. Universal is too big for us now, so they chose to stay out of the fray. Why penalize Dollywood because of a lackluster effort by Universal?
Besides, we always get a few new folks on the site with each new tournament. I say, keep 'em coming!
Published: April 6, 2011 at 10:45 AMI'm not a member of the site but I frequent it often. It seems obvious that a bunch of people who don't visit the site often suddenly came on to vote and comment up Dollywood. I have to wonder if maybe park employees or maybe just rabid fans swamped the site in an attempt to gain the park some attention.
Published: April 6, 2011 at 3:13 PMHeading to Dollywood this year for the first time over the Summer and then if I love it as much as I think I will, I'll definitely try to make it out for Christmas next year. I can't wait to visit and I've been meaning to do it for years, but this tournament win makes me even more excited about it.
Published: April 6, 2011 at 8:31 PMBoth are great events, (I want to attend Halloween Horror Nights), but I'm glad Dollywood won. Smoky Mountain Chirstmas is truly spectacular!
Published: April 6, 2011 at 8:32 PMPersonally I read this site on and off. The reason I am not reading it daily is because I live in the Midwest. I do not visit the California or Florida parks that often so therefore I do not find there is enough material here to keep me a daily reader. However I must say during this tournament, I am on here everyday. The tournament causes me to actually visit the site multiple times daily to see people's comments and how my favorite parks/attractions/events are doing. I must say when there is a park like Dollywood or Holiday World in the tournament I will post a link and ask for votes non stop. Why? Because so many sites already cater to CA and FL parks that I think it is time that people realize that they DO NOT have the "BEST" attractions, events, staff, etc. It's those local parks that truly have this heart and sole, and above all a truly loyal fan base that appreciates what they do both for them as guests and the communities they rely on. The site does not cater to those parks and therefore those loyal fans do not read or become members of this site. I try to drive as many votes as possible for those smaller parks because I think it is unfair for a site who 90% of the time focuses just on CA and FL to feature a "America's Best" tournament. Seriously, that is like having Disney holding a tournament themselves asking who is better. You know it is always going to be a CA and/or FL park winning on here if it was not for those postings.
Published: April 6, 2011 at 8:34 PMAlso Thomas Maner, welcome to Theme Park Insider!
(Judging on his joining date the tournament got him to become a member).
Published: April 6, 2011 at 9:51 PMThank you Steven, Yes I joined because of this tournament. Dollywood is a great park with a friendly staff, and I'm proud to have it here in East Tennessee. That said I'm still planning on going to one of the Orlando parks (hopefully) next year.

Hi everybody! Wow, it's been a long time. I would explain where I've been and why I haven't been on here much anymore, but that will have to wait for another time. For today I come in support of one of my favorite games of all time (and like the only one to ever make this tournament -_-), Shadow of the Colossus.
I can go on and on about why I love this game and why it has won so many awards (including claiming the top spot on IGN's 100 best PS2 games), but I think that's been done. What I want to instead is focus on what this game brings out of people, creativity. Shadow of the Colossus has always been a simple game. Both in its gameplay and its story. Leaving so much to the player's imagination. Imagination that manifests into drawings, music, designs and so much more. Here are some great examples of the creativity that came from Shadow of the Colossus.

The INL and the Snake River Plain Aquifer
A recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey of the Snake River
Plain Aquifer below the Idaho National Laboratory may have caused
some public concern about what we are doing to protect the aquifer.
Following is an updated fact sheet about the INL and the aquifer
which we hope will answer questions you may have about this topic.
If you have other questions or need more information, please contact
Brad Bugger, U.S. DOE public affairs officer, at (208) 526-0833.
This unit is one of several that is used to "vacuum" volatile organic contaminants from the zone beneath the buried waste, removing them before they migrate into the Snake River Plain Aquifer below.
The Snake River Plain Aquifer underneath the Idaho National
Laboratory is one of the most productive groundwater resources in
the U.S. Each year about 2 million acre-feet of water is drawn from
the aquifer. Approximately 95 percent of the water withdrawn from
the aquifer is used for irrigation, 3 percent for domestic water,
and 2 percent for industrial purposes. The aquifer is the primary
water source for more than 280,000 people in southeastern Idaho.
Although not the only source of contamination, historic activities at
the Idaho National Laboratory have affected the quality of the aquifer
water. In the past, the INL employed industrial waste disposal practices
common at the time that included injecting contaminated waste water
directly into the aquifer. Some of these practices led to contamination
of the groundwater below some areas of the INL with heavy metals,
chemicals and radioactive elements. These waste disposal practices are
no longer used and are prohibited under current environmental
regulations. Other waste disposal practices, including burying materials
contaminated with radioactive and hazardous materials, have also
contributed to aquifer contamination in the past.
For more than two decades, the U.S. Department of Energy, governed by
federal and state laws, has been cleaning up the aquifer below the INL
and taking actions to protect it from additional contamination. While
some of the groundwater below the INL is still contaminated, in more
than 50 years of groundwater monitoring no contaminants have been
detected near or outside the INL boundary in concentrations exceeding
federal safe drinking water standards.
Recent monitoring by the U.S. Geological Survey, Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality, and INL site contractors in wells near the
southern boundary of the INL found concentrations of the wastewater
constituent tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, at detectable
concentrations. These concentration levels were above what is normally
considered �background levels,� in deep layers of the aquifer. Previous
monitoring at the INL did not allow for collection of samples at the
depths these constituents were found. But it is important to note that
the concentrations of these newly-discovered contaminants were still
well below federal safe drinking water standards.
Over the past two decades, DOE and its regulating agencies, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality, have undertaken scientific studies at the nine
facility areas at INL to understand the extent to which past activities
contaminated the groundwater. The studies required under the federal
Superfund law were to determine if cleanup was needed to reduce risks to
within legally acceptable limits, and if so, what cleanup measures were
The agencies determined that past activities at Test Area North, the
Advanced Test Reactor Complex (formerly called the Test Reactor Area),
the Radioactive Waste Management Complex, the Idaho Nuclear Technology
and Engineering Center (formerly known as the Idaho Chemical Processing
Plant) and the Central Facilities Area contributed contaminants to the
aquifer in concentrations requiring cleanup of the aquifer and/or of
sources of the contamination. Those cleanups are either under way and
progressing well, or are complete and undergoing monitoring to confirm
Studies showed that the aquifer didn�t require remedial actions at
the four other facilities: the Naval Reactors Facility, Experimental
Breeder Reactor-1, the Power Burst Facility/Auxiliary Reactor Area, and
the Materials and Fuels Complex (formerly called Argonne National
A Remedial Investigation/Baseline Risk Assessment for the Radioactive
Waste Management Complex � where radioactive and hazardous waste has
been disposed over several decades -- was completed and made public in
May of 2006. The study found that a small portion of the aquifer near
the facility had been contaminated, and predicted that additional
contaminants would reach the aquifer if no protective action were taken.
The only widespread contaminants from the complex to be found in the
aquifer are volatile organic contaminants � particularly carbon
tetrachloride (�carbon tet�). The carbon tet found in the aquifer is
attributed to waste buried at the disposal site because it has not been
discovered in the aquifer upgradient from the Radioactive Waste
Management Complex.
Beginning in 1996, vapor vacuum extraction from the �vadose zone�
(the area between the surface of the waste disposal area and the
aquifer, which is about 600 feet down) has been used to reduce the
amount and concentrations of carbon tet that reaches the aquifer.
Historically, concentrations of carbon tet that exceeded safe drinking
water standards were found in seven different monitoring wells on the
INL Site. After continuous treatment with vapor vacuum extraction and
the beginning of the excavation of waste containing carbon tet, the
latest aquifer monitoring in May, 2010 showed levels exceeding safe
drinking water standards in only one monitoring well.
In 2008, DOE and its regulators agreed on a comprehensive cleanup
strategy for the Radioactive Waste Management Complex. The selected
remedy controls the source of contamination through retrieval of buried
waste, as well as using in situ grouting (using a grout mixture to
stabilize potentially mobile contaminants), continued vapor vacuum
extraction of carbon tet, and eventually, a barrier over the surface of
the remaining buried waste. The effectiveness of these measures will be
monitored long-term, and access and control of the area will be
controlled over time.
Retrieving waste reduces inventories of carbon tet. In situ grouting
reduces mobility of two potential contaminants � technetium-99 and
iodine-129 -- which are found in the waste buried there. Operating the
existing vapor vacuum extraction and treatment system continues to
remove and treat carbon tet � and other volatile organic compounds � in
the vadose zone. The extraction and treatment system, coupled with waste
retrieval, addresses the greatest and most imminent threat to
groundwater quality.
Meanwhile, a record of decision was completed in May 2007 for the
Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center�s tank farm contaminated
soil and contaminated groundwater. The record of decision was based on a
study completed in 2006 that determined the nature and extent of
contamination, assessed risks to people and the environment, and
concluded that action was necessary to protect workers and the Snake
River Plain Aquifer.
Multiple approaches will be used to reduce infiltration of waster
through the contaminated tank farm soils and to the shallow �perched
water� (a zone of water about 110 below the tank farm), where most of
the contaminants of concern to the aquifer reside. This will include
various water control measures, such as installation of an asphalt cover
over the tank farm and surrounding area; monitoring of perched water
levels as an early detection system for underground pipe leaks; and more
intensive storm water management. Once the INTEC facility is closed, a
final, thick soil cover will be installed that is designed to accept and
dispense moisture to plants at the surface, while limiting water
infiltration to the underlying cover layers. Controlling water at this
site will help eliminate a potential �driver� of surface and sub-surface
contaminants into the aquifer below.
In 2009, a record of decision was signed for site-wide groundwater at
the INL. The record of decision was based on a multi-year environmental
investigation of the aquifer beneath the site, and concluded that
groundwater leaving the INL site boundary will continue to be safe for
domestic and agricultural uses. This investigation was responsible for
regional aquifer concerns related to the INL that could not be addressed
on an area-specific basis, or any other areas at the INL that were not
covered by other investigations.
Based on decades of sampling by several agencies and institutions,
and on computer modeling results, the DOE and its regulatory agencies
agreed that water leaving the INL boundary currently meets established
drinking water standards and will continue to do so in the foreseeable
future. That is why the three agencies � the U.S. DOE, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality � selected a �no action� approach that will
include ongoing monitoring to assure water quality remains high over
Finally, DOE is required to complete five-year reviews as long as
contaminants remain in place above risk-based levels to ensure the
selected remedies continue to protect workers, the public and the
environment. DOE will monitor the groundwater over the long-term to
assure the accuracy of computer modeling which predicts the water
leaving site boundaries will be safe to use, and that contaminants do
not migrate off the INL site at levels of concern.

Divorce Coaching
What Is Divorce Coaching?
Divorce Coaching that takes you from wherever you are right now in your life to where you want to be! Like athletic coaching, it is a way for you get your life back on track so that you can perform your best and make wise choices about the tough decisions that will forever impact you and your children.
The concept of personal Life or Career coaching is no longer a new one. It initially arose in the late 1980's to meet the demands and needs of people who did not want or need the services of a mental health professional, and today it is recognized as one of the fastest growing processes for facilitating personal and professional development.
A little known niche and rapidly growing service being offered as part of the collaborative family law initiative is Divorce Coaching. It is an important tool for assisting men and women through the painful emotional turmoil that always come up during divorce so you can manage the other aspects more productively and efficiently. The Divorce Coach is a trained specialist who can address many issues that other professionals are not trained to do.
is a way for you to get essential information and explore options that will work for you as you consider whether a separation or divorce is truly desired or have already begun the process.
is an organized strategy for navigating through the actual divorce process whether it is through mediation, collaborative divorce or litigation. It is an active, practical goal-directed approach that is custom-tailored to meet your individual needs.
Coaching helps people become grounded by normalizing the strain of the divorce and providing useful feedback during difficult times. It creates a structure to manage the challenges and chaos that divorce presents (i.e., lifestyle, financial, family and social restructuring.). With coaching, you can sort out all the issues and see what you really need to do to keep moving forward.
With the encouragement and motivation that coaching provides, you are empowered to realize your own personal strengths for overcoming obstacles and creating unique solutions for a more peaceful resolution. When you have a partner by your side, just as if you were a runner, you will go farther, faster and it will be easier getting to where you are going!
Coming through a divorce can be a frightening experience and it can take a long time – long after the legal papers are signed, to pick up the pieces.
Once the actual divorce is complete, a divorce coach can help you "map out" a vision to re-design your life the way you really want it to be.
To determine if this is the right time for you to start taking charge of your life and your dreams, I invite you to check out your Coachability Index
Whether you are considering separation and divorce, or are currently in the divorce process, or whether you are ready to map out new destinations, your dreams and goals will only become a reality when you begin to take positive steps towards achieving them.
For a reasonable monthly fee you can reduce the expenditure of negative energy and shorten the transition from divorce to the next stage of your life with this unique coaching service.

Torn from the universe by an insatiable cosmic vortex, Earth is trapped in the grotesque parody of reality called the Maelstrom -- along with thousands of other planets, millions of species, billions of warring creatures...all swirling toward ultimate destruction.
It materializes off the Oregon coast in a burst of devastation and tsunamis: an island containing an alien city ... and perhaps the way for Earth to escape the Maelstrom.

Late Comeback Falls Short In Loss to Lafayette
Box Score
RIVERDALE, NY – In a back-and-forth contest at Gaelic Park, the Manhattan College women's lacrosse team (0-4) came up on the short end of a 16-12 decision against Lafayette (5-2) on Wednesday. Sarah Lang (Golden's Bridge, NY) had four goals for the Jaspers, while Molly Fitzpatrick (Yorktown, NY) tallied five points with three goals and two assists.
After Lafayette jumped out to a 5-1 lead, Kara Hodapp (Oak Ridge, NJ) scored to start a 5-0 Manhattan rally, and a goal by Caitlin Murphy (Carmel, NY) put the Jaspers in front 6-5 with 3:43 left in the first half. Nikki Prestiano (Yorktown Heights, NY) made a brilliant save on a free position attempt late in the period, but the Leopards got one past Prestiano with just 12 seconds remaining in the half to even the score at 6-6.
The Jaspers regained the lead on Darby Nolan's (Oak Ridge, NJ) goal two minutes into the second half, and she then assisted on Hodapp's tally that made it 8-6. However, Lafayette responded with five straight goals to go up 11-8 at the 14:58 mark.
Goals by Lang and Nolan brought Manhattan back within one at 11-10, but the Leopards countered with another 5-0 spurt to increase their cushion to 16-10 at the 2:06 mark. Emily Englert (Somers, NY) found the back of the net off a Fitzpatrick pass with 1:32 left, then Lang's fourth tally of the game 30 seconds later brought the Jaspers within 16-12. Lafayette won the ensuing draw, though, allowing the Leopards to run out the remaining 1:02 on the clock and secure the win.
Hodapp and Nolan each had two goals and two assists in the contest, while Murphy recorded a goal and an assist. Molly Flores (Chevy Chase, MD) controlled four draws, and Hailey Siemek (Bel Air, MD) picked up a team-best three ground balls. Prestiano (0-4) faced 36 Lafayette shots and made 13 saves.
Kirsten Wilhelmsen tallied six goals and two assists for the Leopards. She also contributed four draw controls. Emma Novick finished with three goals and an assist, and Jane Kirby had a hat trick, as well. Kristin Schaen controlled seven draws, as Lafayette held a 17-13 advantage in that category. The Leopards also collected 20 ground balls to the Jaspers' 15, with Matty Novick and Hannah Davey each recording three ground balls. Starting goalkeeper Anna Raymond made five saves, while Allie Abacherli (3-2) earned the win after stopping three Manhattan shots.Manhattan returns to action on Sunday with a 1 p.m. matchup against Saint Mary's (1-3) at Gaelic Park. It will be the first-ever meeting between the Jaspers and Gaels.

Spring is party time in Iowa, when gardens often look their best. Those celebrations happen in the form of familiar, seasonally emblematic plants such as columbine (above).
In the underappreciated department hangs a portrait of Aquilegia canadensis 'Corbett', the butter yellow form of the familiar and charmingly weedy wild columbine that so many of us treasure — and curse — with fondness.
The story goes that two brothers, Andrew and Larry Clemens, were out doing what adventurous boys do along railroad tracks near Corbett, Maryland.
They discovered a dwarf, compact, yellow-flowering columbine, knowing well enough that columbines were not normally this color. They transplanted one to their mother's garden and enjoyed it for a few seasons before it disappeared.
Out and about in another spring, Andrew rediscovered the plant in the wild, collected seeds, and distributed them to neighbors to keep the plant and the story alive.
One of those neighbors was a nurseryman who successfully propagated and introduced 'Corbett' to horticulture in 1992, almost 25 years after the plant was originally discovered.
I think of the brothers every spring that I enjoy 'Corbett' among the dwarf irises in my front garden. Though I lovingly curse its wild-type forebear, I have to confess that I'm a bona fide columbine-a-holic.
I love their promiscuity, their variation, and those enchanting noddingflowers that initially captured my fascination as a child wanderingalong gravel roads near my boyhood home.
'Corbett' bewitches me so, a perfectly charming miniature of its larger cousins.
It's important to remember that the noteworthy plants in nature's living room aren't necessarily flamboyant and sassy. A zoneworthy plant can be, say, a recliner, maybe a votive candle.
One such subtle but essential shade fixture I enjoy in mid-May is dwarf Solomon's seal (Polygonatum humile).
Ever running around the garden floor in search of a neighbor to cuddle next to, dwarf Solomon's seal (not shown) never grows more than six or eight inches (at least the majority of forms available in garden centers).
Little fluted stems with white, teardrop-shape flowers pop up in May here in Iowa and join a woodland crowd in full swing — violets, bleeding hearts, and epimediums, to name a few.
Culturally, it's a cinch. Drop Solomon's seal roots into some decent humus, cool in the shade, and you're on your way to enjoying these votive candles of the woodland garden.

Queensland will take note of calls to change its stance on uranium if the prime minister takes up the cause, Premier
Federal Resources Minister
He told the AusIMM International Uranium Conference in Adelaide that with further co-operation, Australia could "realise its potential as the world's number one uranium producer".
"The Australian government urges Queensland to take the next step and to also remove its ban on uranium mining, given that it already permits exploration and has an estimated resource base of at least 37,000 tonnes," Mr Ferguson said.
But Mr Newman intends to keep his promise to the electorate not to mine uranium.
"Our position hasn't changed, we have no plans to mine uranium," he told reporters in Brisbane.
But the premier said he was interested in hearing the view of the wider federal government.
"I'm interested particularly on what the prime minister's position is, will she support it as well?" he said.
"Will she call on us to do this?
"At that point I start to take notice."
Australian Conservation Foundation uranium campaigner Dave Sweeney said Mr Ferguson was out of touch with community opinion, and that of Mr Newman.
"During the campaign Mr Newman said, 'the LNP has made it crystal clear that we have no plans to approve the development of uranium in Queensland'," he said.
Mr Sweeney called on Mr Ferguson to focus on reviewing and improving the performance of the existing Australian uranium industry.
