Billionaires Soros and Bacon reduce gold holdings
Billionaire investors George Soros and Louis Moore Bacon cut their stakes in exchange-traded products backed by gold last quarter as futures dropped the most in more than eight years. John Paulson maintained his holding.
Soros Fund Management reduced its investment in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest fund backed by the metal, by 55 per cent to 600,000 shares as of December 31 from three months earlier, a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing showed on Thursday.
Bacon's Moore Capital Management sold its entire stake in the SPDR fund and lowered holdings in the Sprott Physical Gold Trust.
Paulson & Co, the largest investor in SPDR, kept its stake at 21.8 million shares.
Gold prices slipped 5.5 per cent in the fourth quarter, the most since the three months to June 2004, as signs of improving economic growth reduced the appeal of the precious metal as a haven. Global ETP holdings have lost 0.9 per cent since reaching a record on December 20.
UBS reduced its one-month price target yesterday by 6.8 per cent, saying economic optimism "takes the shine off defensive assets", including bullion.
"The reduction in holdings by George Soros may unnerve the market a little bit," said Nick Trevethan, a senior commodities strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group. "The market may also be watching Paulson and those are steady."
Gold for April delivery fell as much as 0.3 per cent to US$1,630.10 an ounce, the lowest level since January 4, on the Comex, and was at US$1,632.20 in early trade in Singapore. The price has shed 2.6 per cent this year.
Hedge funds have cut bets on a gold rally by 56 per cent since reaching a 13-month high in October as manufacturing rebounded from the United States to China.

A Haiku poem is an old Japanese type of writing that consist of seventeen syllables and theme is about nature. Haiku is very short and has a 5-7-5 syllable structure with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line, it consists of three lines. This type of writing suggest readers to listen to the world and how everything is in life. Haiku began to be more popular during around the 9th to 12th century. It was not always called a Haiku but a tanka. This chain would continue of poems

At 20, Pittsfield Garden Tour to hold final tour
PITTSFIELD — After two decades of showcasing some of the city's finer residential landscapes, the Pittsfield Garden Tour's 20th year will be its last.
Organizers of the annual green-thumb event have announced July 16-17 as the final weekend for people to view the well-manicured gardens.
Dubbed the "Retrospective Tour," eight of the nine homes opening up to the public have been on past tours, with one new garden, according to the Pittsfield Garden Tour Committee.
Committee co-chairwomen Erin Sullivan and Cathy Congelosi say eight gardens is about average for the tour, but getting permission to tour them is getting harder and one reason for discontinuing the well-attended two-day event.
"Over the past few years, it's been difficult to get people to open up their homes to the public," Sullivan said.
Congelosi feels the event may have run its course, in part, because volunteers are finding it difficult to work planning and/or running the event into their busy schedules.
"We are very proud of our mission to showcase what Pittsfield has to offer beyond the downtown," she said.
However, attendance has never waned, averaging some 500 ticket sales each year, according to Sullivan.
"We have a very loyal following with some years larger than others, but consistent," she said.
The Berkshire summer weather has rarely been a deterrent for local garden enthusiasts.
"I remember in 2002, that Saturday and Sunday it poured both days," she said.
Proceeds from past tours have benefited art and gardening projects throughout the city.
The committee has made donations to Springside Park, The Colonial Theatre, Artscape and "Infinite Dance," an extraordinary sculpture unveiled three years ago in The Common on First Street.

I've worked for a few design studios, been the Art Director for a multinational software company, and owned my own studio since 2001. I created Fluid Design after realizing that no one in the industry was focusing on the efficiency of our work processes.
Starting with Photoshop 2.0 (not Photoshop CS2, whippersnapper), I've been hell-bent on learning the most efficient and most powerful methods of generating design pieces for about two decades - from integrated use of the keyboard to file and task management techniques.
As of the publishing of this course, I have never witnessed a faster designer. But that doesn't stop me from constantly honing my craft and learning from other people!

We delivered a wedding cake today, and I know on Wedding Wire you can send an email requesting a review from the bride. I was wondering how long I should wait before I send the bride the review request. I don't want to do it too soon, but I also don't want to wait too long. Is a week from now ok?
I'd wait a month...let her get back from her honeymoon and settled in first...
I am no expert, but I would wait about 2-3 weeks. The first week or so after the wedding they are on their honeymoon and then they need to get back into the swing of normal life.
Sounds good, thanks for the advice! I will just wait a month.

A simple, reliable and reproducible method was developed for determination of psoralen and isopsoralen in several traditional Chinese medicines, such as Shouwu Pian, Gubenkechuan Pian, was described in this paper. It was based on capillary zone electrophoresis with amperometric detection (CZE-AD). A carbon-disc electrode was used as working electrode. The optimal conditions of separation and detection were pH7.6 phosphate buffer (20 mM), 20 kV for the separation voltage and 1.00V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for the detection potential. The linear ranges were 6.90 × 10-5~1.30 × 10-7 mol L-1for psoralen and 5.0 × 10-5~1.80 × 10-7 mol·L-1 for isopsoralen with the correlation coefficient of 0.9984 and 0.9994, respectively. The detection limits for psoralen and isopsoralen were 4.2 × 10-8 mol·L-1 and 6.0 × 10-8 mol·L-1 based on the signal to noise ratio of 3. The method built in this paper was directly applied to the determination of several traditional Chinese medicines with some simple pretreatment. The assay result was satisfactory.

The enantiomeric separation of several basic drugs was investigated using copper(II)–clindamycin as a new chiral selector. The results show that the chiral selector allows high-resolution separation of some racemic basic drugs, including tropicamide, propranolol, sotalol, bisoprolol, epinephrine, esmolol, atenolol, and metoprolol. The enantioselectivity was influenced by parameters such as the type of metal ion, ratio of clindamycin and Cu(II), pH of the background electrolyte, clindamycin concentration, applied voltage, and capillary temperature. The optimal separation conditions were determined to be 20 mM clindamycin/10 mM Cu2+, pH 9.06, at 20 kV and 22 °C within 25 min.

The enantiomeric separation of chiral drugs by capillary electrophoresis (CE) in nonaqueous system has been investigated. Successful separation of bepridil, ondansetron and pinacidil in formamide using β-cyclodextrin as chiral selector were achieved. The addition of triethylamine into the background electrolyte enhanced the enantiomeric discrimination.

A protocol is described for the spearation of quaternary amidoamines as well as benzalkonium chloride compounds formulated with the same hydrophobic chain. A baseline separation of the twelve homologues studied was achieved in less than 3.5 minutes using a 56 cm of effective capillary length. The carrier electrolyte was 75 mM phosphate, pH=5.2, with acetonitrile (40%v/v) as organic modifier. The applied voltage was 30 kV and the capillary temperature was thermostated to 40°C. Samples were injected hydrodynamically by applying a positive pressure of 50 mbar for 20 s. Organic modifier was also required in the sample solution to disrupt the formation of micelles by the long-chain surfactants. For this reason, the sample and standards were diluted with acetonitrile: water solution (40%v/v) to appropriate concentrations.

Direct capillary zone electrophoretic methods were developed for the separation of the enantiomers of 1-(α-aminoarylmethyl)-2-naphthol and 2-(α-aminoarylmethyl)-1-naphthol analogues. The effects of selector and buffer concentrations, electrolyte pH and applied voltage on the separation efficiency were studied. Variation of the electrophoretic conditions with the application of negative polarity, hydrodynamic injection, an unmodified silica capillary, different buffers and sulfated cyclodextrins and (S,S)-dimethylpyridino-18-crown-6 ether as chiral selectors led to the baseline resolution of all the compounds investigated.

Robustness testing of capillary electrophoresis methods is an important part of method validation. Appropriate use of experimental designs can be employed in this robustness testing. In this study experimental designs were used in the assessment of a capillary electrophoresis method used to determine drug related impurities. Initially a fractional factorial screening design was used to identify the critical parameters which were found to be pH and voltage. A central composite design was then performed to evaluate the response surfaces for pH and voltage which showed operation at the optimum pH and voltage values.

Diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) dextran hydrochloride and three kinds of aminoglycosidic antibiotics; fradiomycin sulfate, kanamycin sulfate and streptomycin sulfate, were employed as chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis, enantiomer separation. These selectors are cationic or basic because of amino functionality and therefore used for enantiomer separation of acidic compounds. To avoid adsorption of the basic or cationic selectors on the capillary inner surface, a coated capillary was employed. Among those tested, enantiomers of binaphthyl compounds and synthetic intermediates of diltiazem analogues were separated. Methanol addition was effective for the improvement of peak shape and resolution.

The application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to the separation and determination of the active ingredient, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, in royal jelly with direct on-column UV detection at 214 nm is described. Using a cathodic injection and anodic detection scheme, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) was separated and detected in less than 10 min in a fused silica capillary column with a phosphate buffer at pH 7.3 with an applied voltage of 20 KV followed by direct UV detection. The use of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as electroosmotic flow modifier allows the rapid separation of 10-HDA from other constituents in royal jelly by reversing the direction of electroosmotic flow. The influence of organic solvents in the electrolyte on separation selectivity is also discussed.

Mutations at codons 248 and 249 of p53 gene showed a relatively high incidence in gastric cancer patients. Development of novel methods for the detection of codon mutations is of great importance for gastric cancer research. Studies have showed that the separation matrix can significantly influence the separation efficiency and resolution of small DNA fragments in CE. In order to achieve baseline separation of PCR-amplified products of small DNA fragments from gastric cancer tissue, linear polyacrylamides (LPA I and LPAII) were designed and synthesized in the current study. LPAI and LPAII were used as separation matrixes to separate small size fragments (less than 70 bp) of pBR322/BsuRI DNA Marker and the separation conditions were optimized. Optimum separations were performed at 25 kV in reversed-polarity mode with capillary temperature set at 15 °C. The signal of DNA fragments was detected using laser-induced fluorescence detector, with an argon ion laser as the excitation source that emits at 488 nm. A 520 nm bandpass filter was used as an emission cut-off filter. The resolution of small DNA fragments was higher when LPAI was used as separation matrix compared to LPAII, accompanied with longer migration time. The results indicated that LPAI as separation matrix was more efficient for the separation of small DNA fragments (less than 70 bp) than other LPAs. A rapid and sensitive analysis method for the separation and detection of small DNA fragments (less than 70 bp) was established in this study. The method was successfully applied to detect the mutations at codons 248 and 249 in p53 gene from gastric cancer tissues.

Sangam University Bhilwara Rajasthan Celebrates Vishwakarma Puja
According to the Hindu mythology, Vishwakarma is the divine architect who designed the entire universe which included the heaven and the earth.
This day is not only celebrated by the engineering and architectural community, but also by other professionals like artisans, craftsmen, weavers, mechanics, smiths, welders, industrial workers and factory workers. In the eastern parts of India like Bengal, this pooja is celebrated every year on September 17. The southern parts of the country like Tamil Nadu celebrate the ninth day of Dussehra as Ayudha pooja in honour of Viswakarma. While some parts of north India including Pilani celebrate Vishwakarma Puja close to Diwali, other parts including Bhilwara celebrate it close to Basant Panchami.
The Vishwakarma Rashtriya Puraskar VRP and National Safety Awards given every year reflect Government of India's recognition of the contribution by working men, women and industrial establishments to the noble task of nation building. VRP is awarded in recognition of outstanding suggestions given by a worker or group of workers and implemented by the management during the previous calendar year resulting in improvement in quality, productivity and working conditions such as safety, health and environmental conservation in the industrial undertakings where Suggestion Schemes are operational.
On 12 February 2014 to mark the Vishwakarma Jayanti, President – Vice Chancellor Sangam University Bhilwara Rajasthan, Principal ITM Prof NK Mathur, faculty members, staff and students assembled in the workshop at 11.30 AM and offered prayers to Lord Vishwakarma to seek his blessings for a for creative and safe working environment.
About Sangam University: The Institution supported by Sangam Group of Industries Bhilwara which is one among the top ranking corporates in India today with business interests spanning textiles, steel, infrastructure, power and energy has been established by Govt. of Rajasthan Act No. 14 of 2012 incorporated u/s 2(f) of UGC Act 1956.

Financial Definition of ZOMBIE
What It Is
How It Works
Let's say Bank XYZ has $1 billion in assets (loans it has made to customers) and $2 billion in liabilities (delinquent loans, interest payments due to customers, debt it may have borrowed, etc.). Bank XYZ could declare bankruptcy and default on its obligations at any time, but for now it is still alive.
Why It Matters
Zombies are very risky investments because they could die at any time. However, some zombies might receive sudden financing, such as government bailouts or other money, which could prompt a turnaround that might make shareholders suddenly wealthy.

Illinois Veterans and Community Classroom Project: (Formerly Illinois WWII Veterans Classroom & Illinois Veterans Classroom Projects) This site houses an intergenerational, instructional technology project created by the WWII Illinois Veterans Memorial Board. Since 2008 over 32 Illinois schools have accepted the challenge to assist the WWII Board in preserving an important piece of our heritage. These young citizens create digital stories of the service and sacrifice by men and women of the "Greatest Generation," Korean, Vietnam and other military conflicts. " who have served our country. Through these efforts, the Illinois WWII Veterans Classroom Project was born. This project continually seeks school districts and communities wishing to work collaboratively to digitally preserve locally historical resources such as books, journal series, and manuscript collections, photographic images, slides, maps, prints, posters, audio, and video.
Assessment Resources
In an effort to help guide those who may be looking for assessment ideas targeted to assessing the full complexity of the new standards several external sites have been listed below. Please note, the State of Illinois does not recommend or endorse any particular site or style of assessment item. The following sites are provided as options to support educators looking for information or ideas connected to assessment.
C3 Performance-Based Assessment Clearinghouse : This NCSS Social Studies Performance-Based Assessment Clearinghouse has been created to provide: 1. examples of social studies performance-based assessment measures conducted at local and state levels 2. research findings that support the use of performance-based assessment to inform instruction, and 3. existing educational policies that can inform advocacy efforts for the inclusion of social studies performance-based assessment at the local, state and national level.
NCSS does not recommend or endorse any particular compendium of assessment items; the Clearinghouse is merely a place where social studies educators can go to explore options that exist. Before selecting any assessment measure, educators are advised to carefully critique, evaluate, and select the best measure to meet the objectives of their educational program and the learning needs of their students.
Assessment Resource Center for History : Developed through a Teaching American History grant (through a partnership with University of Maryland, Baltimore County and the Howard County Public School System in Maryland) has information devoted specifically to some new options for assessment in social science classes.

Back last month, we reported that the Samsung Admire would be the device to replace the aging LG Optimus M over on MetroPCS, but it now appears as if it'll be headed to regional carrier Cellular South as well.
Not only is the handset getting its own landing page right now, but it's getting the prestigious title of being the carrier's very first Android 2.3 Gingerbread powered smartphone. However, it specs remain to be similar to the version that MetoPCS will be getting, which is deemed as a mid-range handset. Meaning, it'll feature a 3.5" touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot.
Even though it's being featured on Cellular South's web site, there still is no word regarding its pricing or availability, but it wouldn't surprise us to see it follow accordingly to the version that MetroPCS will be getting, which is rumored to launch sometime between now and September.

Tablets 8 inch – Dragon Touch M8 Quad Core Google Android Tablet
Hello, folks, today I will look at one of the best low budget tablets 8 inch, that are available right now.
Tablets 8 inch – Dragon Touch M8 Quad Core Google Android Tablet
It's good to look at. I'm a huge fan of plastic, and this is all that. Parts fit sung and tight, no rough edges. It feels durable and is exceptionally lightweight.The back is textured with a kindlying subtle pattern and looks good. It's a bit slippery however, so I put it to stay clear of a slip or slide which it aspires to do. A cover might assist. The design is kindlying and practical and all controls and gain access to ports are where I like them. The power and volume buttons are in fact a little TOO simple to press, and would take advantage of a small recess like Lenovo and Fire have. A rubberized back would behave, however that would influence the kindlying rate.
The very first thing you observe is that the screen is dazzling and bright, and plenty HD for me. I do not discover any seeing angle concerns various from other gadgets I have. It might not be a retina display screen, however it's close adequate to be kindlying in every method for me. I delight in reading my books on it, and it's an eager partner. The lightweight truly assists right here. The touchscreen needs a specific touch however I have actually discovered exactly what it suches as. On the plus side, unintended presses take place less regularly than with comparable screens.
See Also: Tablets 10 inch
The Quad-Core processor for this 8 inch tablet is capable and quick, specifically for this rate point. I'm delighted with it and observe no considerable lag unless I am running another app concurrently, where a little would be anticipated. No problems right here, just favorable.
Storage abounds. 16 GB plus 1GB ram is fairly good for this rate. And everything works perfectly, consisting of the 32GB SD card.
Apps consisted of work, didn't get rid of any. No bloatware actually. In between the Play shop and Amazon Apps, I have all I require. If you desire, you can compose to the SD card. It asks you.
I check out a periodical understood for its image art and the colors are bright, dazzling, and well balanced. I see no seeing angle problems in this tablet that are uncommon. Its understandable even from an angle, not that I would wish to.
The Dragon Touch M8 Sound
Noise is not excellent. Weak, anemic volume plus a speaker that most likely goes back to my very first flipphone. Pretty bad years earlier, not to mention now. Earphones are very little better, as the quality of audio is simply … bad. Flat, no considerable bass. While it's not excellent for music, I packed a power amp app I bought years back, and it works thin with music currently in my library, as well as enhances the balance and volume significantly. It does not assist streaming audio which is many of exactly what I listen to. Ehhh … it's okay, however do not purchase it for audio. Bluetooth works fantastic and rates at this deal, however does not enhance the sound quality or volume.
Cams likewise are forgettable. Your pal will most likely acknowledge you on Skype, however will likely be more from hearing your voice than constructing out facial information. The front electronic camera is in fact much better than the back which is unusual. The back electronic camera has a flash, however it's too weak to do any efficient all in a dark space. Outdoors is much better, however keep your pocket camera convenient.
WiFi is the forte right here, and why I was hoping it would work for me. It transfers and gets from a bad reception location in my house when none of the others will, and for this alone it deserves it to me, so it's a keeper simply for that. It's really strong, and no drop problems like with Lenovo, and the Fire simply does not reach well there either.
HDMI works well, as does Cast function. It accuseds of the micro-usb typical now to everybody, and has the battery charger and a micro to basic USB cord different from the battery charger cord.
Battery life is great, a little much better than I anticipated in fact. It likewise charges back up really rapidly. About 4 or 5 hours video and blended, and about 7 to 8 with light to moderate. The standby life is rather great.
Screen scratches extremely quickly. Get a protector.
Due to the fact that of its cost, I provide it 5 stars. Any greater cost point and I would state there are much better options to opt for.
Overall This 8 inch tablet – Dragon Touch M8 is great for any needs, like students, parents or business owners.

Works well but moderate toxicity
Posted by funkydharma on May 27, 2016 | Verified Purchase
smells fantastic and is easy to apply and rub-in. on the EWG cosmetics database there is incomplete information about the ingredients and the ones they do know about aren't the best you can get on the market. unfortunately, i often find that the least toxic ones ie Badger, are either pasty, have separated or are crazy expensive.

505 pages, B/w illus, figs, tabs
Referred to in the Bible, pictured on the wall-friezes of ancient Egyptian tombs, and a subject of fascination for generations of scientists, the tilapias (Cichlidae: Tilapiini) have featured in the diet and culture of humankind for thousands of years. The present century has seen their spread from Africa throughout the tropics and sub-tropics, largely for food and fisheries purposes.This book attempts to pull together our knowledge of this important group - their biology and fisheries and aquaculture - in a single volume, something that has not been done comprehensively for nearly two decades. A succession of chapters by acknowledged authorities covers evolution, phylogenetic relationships and biogeography, reproductive biology, mating systems and parental care, diet, feeding and digestive physiology, environmental physiology and energetics, the role of tilapias in ecosystems, population dynamics and management, genetics, seed production, nutrition, farming, economics and marketing. The book is aimed at biologists, fisheries scientists, aquaculturists, and all interested in aquatic ecology.
'Given the importance of tilapias globally to ecosystems and human food production, this book is a highly recommended addition to the library of any researcher working with this species.' The quarterly review of Biology, 76

1) Default Style
2) Mobile Style
Many of my members visit my forum throughout the day and often are either on their PC or smart phone. They are complaining that it's a pain to have to switch styles as they go between their PC and mobile phone.
Is there a way to use cookies to identify the style preferred for the device? Is there some other solution to this issue?
I tried having only the Default Style and code responsive css to tailor to the mobile phone, but that became very messy, so I prefer the simplicity of having two styles. The only short coming is having to switch styles all the time.

Around bleak Dartmoor, where the Hound of the Baskervilles once bayed, three children have been brutally murdered. Now Richard Jury of Scotland Yard joins forces with a hot-tempered local constable named Brian Macalvie to track down the killer. The trail begins at a desolate pub named, "Help the Poor Struggler".
It leads straight to the estate of Lady Jessica, a 10-year-old orphaned heiress who lives with her mysterious uncle and an ever-changing series of governesses. And as suspense spreads across the forbidding landscape, an old injustice returns to haunt Macalvie...with clues that link a murder in the distant past with a killing yet to come.

Grimes sets a more serious tone--good listen
- Kathi
Jury and the deaths of children
Yes, I would. I like the Martha Grimes mysteries. Having read most of them years ago, I particularly enjoy listening. In this book the heavy-drinking crowd at the Jack and Hammer do not play as big a role, though Melrose does come into the plot--always a good addition. The plot and resolution (particularly the resolution) are a tad fragile, but my belief is that readers take to Grimes' novels for the atmosphere and character development. She is particularly good at creating unusual personalities in children.
This book is similar to any of the Richard Jury mysteries, though the crimes are a bit grimmer.
As with any good reader, he performs superbly and inhabits the characters. I never feel jarred by his interpretations.
No. I prefer enjoying this type of mystery over several days, while walking the dog or driving.

September 22 - For the second time in as many tries, the Amherst men's cross country team captured first place, while the women's team, competing without top runner Carter Hamill, was equally impressive, and finished second at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth Invitational, held at the UMass-Dartmouth campus this past weekend. Full Story
Hamill Leaving X-Country, Track Competition In The Dust
September 8 - The pile of worn-out running shoes in the far corner of Carter Hamill's dorm room is the lone evidence that one of the best, brightest and most unassuming collegiate distance runners in the nation lives there. No medals or All-America certificates adorn her walls, only the minimountain of identical pairs of spent New Balance, which serves as an unintentional shrine to the hundreds of miles she's logged on the tracks, trails and roads of Amherst.

Boeing has selected the Bombardier Challenger 605 business jet to be the platform for its maritime surveillance aircraft (MSA) offering. This program was announced in 2012 as a cheaper alternative to Boeing's high-spec P-8 Poseidon maritime patroller that is on show here at the Dubai Airshow. However, the MSA mission suite draws heavily on the technology developed for the P-8, albeit sized for a business jet application. At the time of the MSA launch the platform had not been selected. Field Aviation in Canada is currently modifying a Boeing-owned Challenger 604 to act as an MSA demonstrator, which should appear next year. Field will also undertake the production modifications of the Challenger 605.

Outlook 2013: Excursion railway meets with quick success and growing popularity
The Saratoga & North Creek Railway received some unexpected national recognition when a man calling himself the Excited Train Guy posted a video on YouTube.
"I've been waiting for this moment for months and now I am finally getting it on film," says the otherwise unidentified railroad buff.
He captured one of the railway line's engines as it rolled into the station.
"Oh my God, listen to that horn. She is beautiful," he exclaimed.
The social media posting went viral, getting more than 1.8 million views.
Steven Torrico, general manager for the Saratoga & North Creek Railway, said the video is posted on the railway's website (www.sncrr.com) for all to enjoy.
"It helps spread the brand," he said about the railway, which is owned by Chicago-based Iowa Pacific Holdings LLC.
Shelby Schneider, marketing director for the Saratoga Economic Development Corp., said it's incredible that the video had so many views.
"It's got Saratoga all over it. That's good for us," she said, referring to the classic locomotive in the video, which has "Saratoga & North Creek Railway" in large letters on it.
She said such a social media posting gets the word out for the Saratoga brand.
"Even if five people come to the area [because of viewing the video], that's a good thing," she said.
She said there are some people who are "real hardcore railroad enthusiasts" and these are the ones who may plan a special trip to see the engines and cars of the Saratoga & North Creek Railway.
Rail revival
The railway started passenger service in July 2011 on former Canadian Pacific Railroad tracks that run from Saratoga Springs to North Creek in Warren County and on up into the Tahawus in the Adirondacks. Iowa-Pacific Holdings LLC also operates scenic trains in the western part of the United States, as well as short-run freight service lines. The company also has rail holdings in England.
Torrico said ridership has increased on the line, which makes seven stops along its route from Saratoga County into Warren County and the Adirondacks. The railway also has a popular Polar Express train during the holidays that attracts thousands of young riders eager to talk to Santa Claus.
The rail line started running snow trains last winter but with an unusually warm and snowless winter in 2011-12, only 1,400 riders took advantage of these trains, which bring skiers from Saratoga Springs to North Creek and the state's Gore Mountain ski center.
This winter's weather is more normal, and as of early February, the snow trains had recorded three excellent weekends. "We are happy with that," Torrico said.
During the first year of operation, the Saratoga & North Creek Railway had 47,000 passengers between July and December, including an unexpected 35,000 on the Polar Express trains.
In 2012, the Polar Express numbers dropped to 28,000 but passengers taking the regular train increased to 25,000, for a total of 53,000 riders.
The snow train was extended to three days — Friday, Saturday and Sunday — and a second snow train was added on Saturdays this season.
In 2012, the railway also started to offer freight service on the line. The 30 miles of tracks between North Creek and Tahawus have been re-opened to the location of a former titanium mine in Tahawus.
"We were thrilled with the condition the tracks were in," Torrico said.
He said the Delaware & Hudson Railway Co. operated freight service to Tahawus until 1989 and had maintained the heavy-duty tracks very well.
"It was in really great shape when they stopped operating [to Tahwaus]," he said.
"We are working very diligently to find customers. It's an ongoing process," Torrico said about freight service. "There has been no freight on this railroad for 24 years."
The railway hopes to start shipping for Barton Mines in the North Creek area sometime this month.
"[Barton Mines] had shipped in the past by rail," Torrico said.
Torrico said parents are finding the snow train handy for sending their teenaged children for a day of skiing or snowboarding at Gore Mountain.
The railway and Gore Mountain have special ski and ride packages that include the train ride and a lift ticket.
"Moms drop their kids off at the Saratoga Springs station at 6:45 a.m.," Torrico said.
The young skiers have breakfast on the train, ski a full day at Gore, and return to Saratoga Springs by 7 p.m.
The lift ticket and train ride combination is $55 for people between ages 13 and 19 and $70 for adults riding in the coach cars. If the skiers want to ride in the more luxurious dome car, the cost is $72 for teenagers and $87 for adults (including the cost of the Gore lift ticket).
"We run a regular schedule, a timetable schedule all year long," Torrico said about the railway. The snow train runs Friday through Sunday through March 17.
Starting March 23 and running through May, passenger service runs Saturdays and Sundays only. Starting in June, passenger service increases to Friday through Sunday, and starting July 1, passenger service is seven days a week, through Oct. 31.
The Saratoga & North Creek Railway also can connect with Amtrak trains in Saratoga Springs.
"We had a fellow last summer commuting between North Creek and New York City," Torrico said.
The man would park his car at the North Creek station on Monday, take the Saratoga & North Creek Railway to Saratoga Springs and then transfer to an Amtrak train for New York City, where he worked. He would come back on Friday, pick up his car, and drive to his seasonal home in the Adirondacks.
Back in the 1930s and early 1940s, there were snow trains leaving from Grand Central Station in New York City and going to North Creek for ski weekends. But today, most Amtrak trains coming from New York City to Saratoga Springs don't have baggage cars, so a ski train from New York City isn't possible.
Torrico said most people using the snow train live in the Capital Region, drive to Saratoga Springs and board the Saratoga & North Creek Railway snow train for their trip to North Creek and Gore Mountain.
The railway service has free shuttle buses that take the snow train passengers and their skis up to Gore Mountain and returns them to the train at the end of the day.
A Teddy Roosevelt Festival will be held in North Creek the weekend of Sept. 14 and 15. Torrico said it was on Sept. 14, 1901, that vice president Teddy Roosevelt arrived at the North Creek train station on a horse-drawn buckboard from the Newcomb area and received a telegram that President McKinley had died from a gunshot wound and urged Roosevelt to get on the train and come to Buffalo as quickly as possible to be sworn in as the next president.
The festival will include a Roosevelt impersonator, an old-fashioned Adirondack celebration and a recreation of the buggy ride to the train station made by Roosevelt.

Mayo bag crucial win over Roscommon
To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the 'death' of Mayo football were greatly exaggerated.
The five-in-a-row Connacht champions put a halt to Roscommon's rampage through Division 1 when they fashioned their best performance of the season.
In truth there was a touch of the men and boys about this encounter as Mayo's physical strength and general know-how saw them dominate a game which probably should not have been played due to the state of the pitch.
Roscommon did stage a late rally hitting 1-2 in the last ten minutes to narrow the gap to three points before a late free from substitute Cillian O'Connor eased the frayed nerves of their fans in the big attendance.
Mayo still need to beat relegated Down in their final fixture at home next Sunday to secure their place in the top flight for 2017 - even then they could still end up being relegated depending on how other results pan out.
Roscommon, meanwhile, will probably still make the semi-finals regardless of how they fare in their last match against Dublin.
But this was a serious wake-up call for Rossies.
They still have a lot to learn about life in the top flight and ironically, they were far more handicapped by the appalling underfoot conditions than Mayo.
After heavy showers in Roscommon, a pitch inspection was required to determine whether the flood prone Dr Hyde Park was playable but after speaking to the two managers, referee Maurice Deegan gave the contest the green light.
The interest in the contest was reflected in the fact that the stand was full 40 minutes before the throw-in. Once the contest began it was Mayo who totally dominated the exchanges, though there were numerous puddles on the pitch.
A measure of their early control is reflected in the fact that they led 0-3 to 0-0 after 13 minutes despite kicking six wides and Diarmuid O'Connor fluffing a goal chance.
In the very demanding conditions the physically stronger Mayo side dominated, though they had the advantage of a very strong wind.
Roscommon finally opened their account with a 22nd minute point from Conor Devaney to reduce the deficit to three (0-4; 0-1) though by then Mayo had kicked nine wides.
Two brilliant reflex saves from Roscommon goalkeeper Geoffrey Claffey – the latter effort denied Lee Keegan a certain goal – kept the home side in the game though they trailed by four points towards the end of the first half.
But Roscommon's most productive forward Ciaran Murtagh dragged his side back into the contest with two late points – one from a free – to leave just two between the sides at the break (0-6; 0-4). But the most revealing statistic of the first half was the wides tally – ten for Mayo and none for Roscommon.
Mayo, however, made a blistering start to the second half with Alan Freeman hitting a point before Evan Regan – who could have been whistled up for over carrying – scored a gem of a goal beating Claffey at his near post in the 37th minute. He landed a free moments later to extend Mayo's lead to seven points.
It looked like game over! Later Alan Freeman was black carded while Cillian O'Connor saw action for the first time since last year's All-Ireland semi-final replay.
Finally a brilliant goal from substitute Diarmuid Murtagh less than ten minutes from the end gave the home side hope and when they quickly added two points the impossible looked possible before O'Connor's late free killed off the revival.
But at least this belated effort means they can take something from the contest.
The big message from the game was that even though Mayo won't be involved in the latter stages of the League they will still be a force in the Championship.
It wasn't a good day either for Monaghan despite having home advantage against Kerry. The Farney County had the advantage of a strong breeze in the first half but the sides were level at half time.
However, the visitors tool control after the break and with Colm Cooper in scoring form they had established a six-point advantage by the three-quarter way mark.
But a controversial goal from Darren Hughes reignited Monaghan's challenge cutting the deficit to three points in the 57th minute. Kerry though killed off the game soon afterwards when David Moran converted a penalty.
The Kingdom need a draw against Cork at home next Sunday to guarantee themselves a place in the semi-finals.
But after making a promising start to the League Monaghan are now in real danger of being relegated. They have to beat Donegal in Castleblaney next weekend and hope that other results go their way.
The battle is over for Down though. They were officially relegated from Division 1 after their sixth successive loss. In a low-scoring encounter in Páirc Uí Rinn there was just one point from play in the first half via Cork's Colm O'Neill which enabled the home side to lead by a point at the break (0-4; 0-3).
The Rebels improved after the break when they upped their scoring rate and secured the points to put themselves in the frame for a semi-final spot. Essentially they have to beat Kerry in Tralee and hope that other results go their way.
Cavan stayed on course for promotion from Division 1. The home side led 1-9 to 0-8 – Sean Johnston hit the crucial goal - having played against the wind while Laois had Kevin Meaney black carded. The visitors improved in the third quarter but Cavan finished well to run out comfortable winners.
The other promotion candidates Galway suffered a big set-back in their campaign when they were held to a draw by Fermanagh in Tuam. Galway led 0-7 to 0-6 at the break but they could never shake off the visitors who secured a vital point in their bid to keep their place in Division 2.
Cavan need a draw at home against Galway to secure a place in the top flight along with Tyrone whereas the visitors must win next Sunday to snatch the place.
Goals early and late in the half helped Meath to a 2-4 to 1-6 lead at half time against Derry. An early second half goal from Niall McLoughlin – their 13th of the campaign – put the home side back in control.
Indeed, Derry outscored the visitors 1-5 to 0-3 in the third quarter but Meath fashioned a grandstand finish storming back into the contest with Andrew Tormey giving them a sensational lead but Derry grabbed an equaliser deep in injury time from a Ryan Bell free.
The result is of little use to either side as Derry cannot now win promotion while Meath are still in the frame for relegation.
Clare boosted their chances of being promotion from Division 3 with a big home win over Longford – though they face an away match against already promoted Kildare next weekend.
Sligo are back in the hunt having hammered Limerick who are now relegated. Westmeath, despite having John Heslin black carded, beat Offaly to boost their chances of staying in the Division.
Antrim secured promotion to Division 3 with a game in hand by beating Wicklow in Aughrim to record their sixth win on the spin in the competition. The only blight on the success was that they conceded their first goal in the competition.
Louth, too, secured promotion by beating Wexford and leap frogging over them into second place in the table.
While the Wee County face Antrim next weekend even if they lose and Wexford beat Carlow they will still be promoted as a result of having beaten the Model County in today's head-to-head game.
Meanwhile, London picked up their first points of the campaign when they surprised Waterford in Dungarvan. It was the exiles' first win in the competition since beating Wicklow in the 2015 League last April.

It's not often we get fun stuff, I mean we can't have it all the time, that would be just crazy!
Create a dripping blood 'The End' in the classic style of Hammer House of horror. YES!
This was for the closing moments of Proffessor Green's video, Monster.
Obviously all created in After Effects. Some of the drips were created in Particular some were hand animated and the trails of dripping blood were drawn using the much missed AE plugin Vector Paint. I'm still shocked Vector Paint isn't in AECS5. Any-hooo that's another story...
The End.... or is it?

Grease was the world at Hinchley Wood School last week as students became members of the T-Birds and Pink Ladies.
Actors and singers from across the school put on their leather and pink satin jackets to join Rydell High cliques for three performances of the 1978 musical comedy from July 15 to 17.
The lead roles of Sandy and Danny were played by Jess Burchett and Nat David, both 15, and as they burst in to song, the audience joined in with the classics.
A half size model T-Bird car also made an appearance for the rendition of Greased Lightning.
Tea Gray, head of drama and director of the production, said: "As with any production of this kind it has been incredibly hard work, but the commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism of the students has been fantastic.
"I am very proud to have worked with them all, from the stars of the show and musicians to the backstage and sound technicians; we have some great talent in the school.
"Above all it has been an amazing team effort."
