Six of us will be in Paris for 3 nights in late April and then plan to spend at least a couple more nights in Southern France before heading to Venice via train. What would be the most efficient use of our time, so as not too spend the whole time in transit. I know there is a train that goes from Nice to Venice. How would you get the most out of your short amount of time, without spending the whole time in transit? We would love to see sites, nature and would probably have had our fill of museums in Paris. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

You can fly on a budget airline such as Easyjet between Paris-Nice and Nice-Venice
Train between Paris-Nice is at least 5 hours BUT that's city center to city center; flights take about 1.5 hours AFTER you get to the airport, go through security, etc.
The Easyjet flights between Nice-Venice do not operate daily.
In either case there is also the issue of the timing and whether or not it suits you in terms of take-off times, etc.

Thanks! I've been thinking a lot about fly vs. train. Pros and cons with both. What places would you recommend visiting at that time of year in the South of France that would be both beautiful and not take us too far off the path to Nice? Thanks again for the quick reply!

I honestly cannot make any further recommendations but am certain others will do so on this thread.
It would be helpful if you were to tell us what sorts of things you are most interested in seeing. It sounds as if you are mainly interested in scenery and surroundings from what you have said thus far.
Report Abuse
Thanks! We all live rurally and love beautiful places, nature wise. Beaches, small villages, WINE, good food. A stop where we could take a walk or a bike ride. We'll get enough big cities with the big cities we plan to see. I keep researching...but real people here and now opinions would be great!! Thanks again for your feedback!

"A couple of nights" is practically an insult to southern France.
Please tell us exactly when you are arriving and when you are leaving and then maybe we'll be able to provide some useful information to help you.

These are the trains:
The 07:59 departure from Nice Riquier station gets into Venice S. Lucia at 15:40, with two quick switches en route, in Ventimiglia (the border - 08:41/08:58) and Milano Centrale (12:50/13:05).
That's 07:41 travel time.
The 09:59 departure takes 08:41 to arrive at 18:40, as does the 13:59 departure (arr. 22:40).
Report Abuse
Oh - there is an even later one - lvg at 15:59, arr. at 23:40, taking 07:41 hrs.
There are some scenic stretches and some rather dull ones.
I would suggest to get up early, take the 07:59, and book the journey to allow for a stopover of several hours in Milan. (Because of the mandatory seat reservations you can't just get off and back on withy any trains.)
In Milan, leave the bags at the Deposito Bagagli service and walk to the Duomo, go up on the roof(bring cameras and binoculars!), have a scrumptous lunch on the way back to the station, then catch one of the later trains. That'll turn a travel day into a day of exploration.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with two days in southern France, beginning with a half-day journey there and followed by a long day getting to Venice. Without a car, it will be close to impossible to get to small villages, beautiful scenery, and the other things you've described. Even though public transportation is good on the Riviera, it doesn't take you to small villages and nature. I'd stay in Paris and do a daytrip outside the city to get a nature fix, then fly to Venice.

there is an overnight train also rolling between Paris and Nice - save travel time and the cost of a hotel night. www.voyages-sncf.com for cheap tickets if you book WAY in advance.
The day trains, as little as 29 euros and up if you book way in advance lets you see France of course - Burgundy, Provence, thru the Avignon area and then along the Cote d'Azur.
For lots of great info on French and Italian trains check out www.ricksteves.com; www.seat61.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com.

I also just wouldn't bother with going to Nice for 1.5 days, it won't be worth the trouble nor expense IMO. And you are talking about April, to boot, you don't expect it to be hot there, do you, or beach weather? Sure, the weather will be pleasant but it isn't summer, it may be 65 F in the afternoon. The water will be much too cold to swim in. Factoid, the water temp at Nice is the coldest of the year in early March. If you just like looking at the water, that would be fine.
I still wouldn't bother for only 2 days, especially when you say you don't want a big city (which Nice is), so you'd have to get somewhere else and then get back to Nice for the train or plane.

If you take the night train then you don't waste any daytime of your vacation, so that's something to consider. Daytime trains take 5:40 hrs from Paris (Gare de Lyon) to Nice-Ville, the night train takes twice as long - leaves at 21:23 (from Austerlitz) and arrives at 08:43.
If you reserve a car (look here fore comparative quotes: www.liligo.fr/location-voiture-nice_fr.html) you can take off immediately and make the most of your South-of-France experience.

Thanks so much! All great suggestions and comments. We know what we're up against, doing a sampler tour. But, sometimes things just are what they are. And, that's why I really love and appreciate you all so much. 'Lighting a candle', instead of 'cursing the darkness'. I have thought about the Nice to Venice overnight train. Sounds like a great idea. Tomorrow three of us are going to ponder this all and see if we can advance this trip a little. I'll let you know what we decide. Thank again for caring for this crazy traveler. XO

there are no longer TMK any overnight trains between Nice and Venice - scrapped a few years ago unless recently brought back - there are no direct Nice to Venice trains thanks to a snafu between Italy's rail system and France's - ah European Unity as its finest.
Report Abuse
Right - the overnight trains we talked about are between Paris and Nice, not from Nice to Venice. That stretch is still a stepchild of the railways, requiring stops at the border (Ventimiglia) and, of course, in Milan, the big kahuna of railway hubs that dominates all of Northern Italy.
So with your time constraints I recommend you take the night train from Paris to Nice, and either a cheap flight or a well-planned train journey with add-on fun from Nice to Venice. For next Spring I see some easyJet flights for $58 - keep checking schedules and pounce when you see something irresistible. www.skyscanner.com, www.whichbudget.com etc.
And, as mentioned, the train journey can be broken up and some fun can be had to make it more than just a utilitarian travel day. But it has to be booked as such, since you have to take the train that has your reserved seat (unless you take a convoluted slow trip using only regional trains, and that takes work!).

I think it was Man in Seat 61 that said on some recent post that some IC trains in Italy now have a section on un-reserved train but I cannot find anyone to collaborate that.
Report Abuse
But at least with IC trains you have a fairly flat fare structure - unlike Italian high-speed trains which have some really deep discounts but to get them you must book 90 days or whatever the max is they come on the system.
I doubt you can book the Ventimiglia to Venice train in Nice however unless it shows up on www.voyages-sncf.com schedule and pricing. So to avoid a long wait in line at Ventimiglia book that one in advance at www.trenitalia.com.

Okay...Thanks again all! After our 'meeting', this is what we have decided. Take a train from Paris to Grenoble. We picked Grenoble, because part of our group housed a foreign exchange student from Grenoble years ago and she is very excited to have us visit. It looks like a nice place to visit and the train ride there in late April should be beautiful. We would stay there two nights and fly from Lyon to Venice. After reading all your posts, it makes sense.
We will be in Venice for Labor Day (May 1st) and it seems like there is at least one great event planned for that day. I have been in Europe on Labor Day and I know it shuts down. We spend two nights in Venice (I know, I know...too short) and then head to Cinque Terre for two nights and then on to Florence or Siena for a couple nights....Eventually headed to Rome....for guess what? Two nights And then fly to Barcelona for....FOOLED YOU! Four nights! Then two nights in Madrid and then fly back to the USA. I could use some recommended hotel that are in the best possible location for walking to the Collesium, etc. in Rome. Also, a great Florence hotel. Thanks for all your support Fodorites!!

Also...great and well situated Venice, Barcelona and Madrid hotels, please? All hotels in the $200ish price range, we hope. Thanks! Any suggestions? I have been checking TA too.
Report Abuse
Oops...Three nights in Venice!
Report Abuse
So - after everything is said & done - you have:
- 2 1/2 days in Paris
- 1 1/2 days in Grenoble (hope the weather is good in April so it won't be a "wash out").
- 2 1/2 days Venice
- 1 1/2 days CT (this will be a disaster if the weather is not good)
- 1 1/2 days in Florence or Siena
- 1 1/2 days in Rome
- 3 1/2 days in Barcelona
- 1 1/2 days Madrid
- 3 1/2 days in travel getting from A to B to C..., out of your total 16 days.
What happened to:
>>>so as not too spend the whole time in transit<<
which you mentioned twice in your original post. You're not spending the whole time in transit - only about 25% of your awake hours (which is too much, IMO). We've visited all the destinations you've mentioned (Barcelona 2 weeks ago & Madrid yesterday) and they are all great - but too many of them, IMO. Can you reduce your destination by half - and see the others on a Rick Steves Video??? This is why I never do "itinerary by committee".

Thanks Stu, I hear you. But, I don't know. This is clearly a 'sampler' trip. If I hadn't done this kind of travel before in other countries, with this same crew, I would be worried. And although I love Rick Steves videos...a real favorite when walking the treadmill, I still think that the real thing, is the real thing...however brief.
Luckily...the daytime that time of year is long. Sunsets at 8pm. And, we get a tour guide in almost every location. This optimizes our experience and I usually get a response from locals about us seeing more in a day or two then they have in years. We are trying to do the best we can.
Report Abuse
We were in Italy for 3 weeks this past April - and I don't recall much daylight at 8PM. Remember - things close up for 3 hours during lunch, and I would not want to visit Siena, Madrid, or Barcelona on Sundays (or Monday morning in Siena).
On our first "sampler" trip to Europe in '77. I recalled very little of it - except hours in the car & trains. My sister & mother "bailed out" half way through the trip. We re-visited the same places 3 years later - and stayed at each destination longer.
Before you cast anything in stone, do a detailed itinerary that includes what time you need to check out of each hotel, get to the train/airport, travel time, leave the airport/train station, check into the next hotel, and then be ready to sightsee.
We just returned from Spain where we visited 5 cities in 16 days and mostly took trains. Our train trips were short because we didn't travel far, or we took the fast AVE. In each case, we left early in the AM and arrived at the next city between 12:30 & 2, and then got going by 1:30 to 3:30. So we lost 1/2 to 3/4 of a day in transit each time we changed destinations. We did a similar thing in Italy in April. Our 4 1/2 week trip to France by car only had 3 destinations - so we didn't have much transit time.
Your destinations are farther apart than ours were - so you may lose and entire day in transit in a few cases (Grenoble to Venice - door-to-door) - arriving around 6PM.

It won't be broad daylight at 8 pm, no, but it is true that sunset is around 8-8:30 pm at very end of April in southern France and Venice, etc.
FOr hotels in Spain, in Madrid, I really like the Intur Palacio San Martin, great central location near old section and Puerta del Sol, etc., metro stops, but pretty quiet as it's off the main streets. And it is very reasonably priced for a 4* hotel (your budget is only around 150 euro), so I think you can easily get it for that or less.
In Barcelona, I love both Hotel Jazz and the NH Calderon on rambla Catalunya. Both are terrific locations near plaza Catalunya. The NH Calderon also has a taxi queue right at its corner, if you need one upon departure. The Jazz is easy to reach from the airport by the Aerobus which stops at Universitat (about 1-2 short blocks away).

Christina and all...the NH Barcelona Centro is way more in our price range. What do you you all think about that place, or any others? The two others are too expensive for our budget. The Madrid hotel looks great. Thanks again!!
Any Florence recommendations? I have stayed at the Hotel Casci before and it was so-so. Being within walking distance of everything is a must.
Also, any suggestions for tour guides with vehicles that can seat us all for a tour of Tuscany one day? Hmm..I guess maybe it's time to start a new thread.
Report Abuse
For those who care...or not... Here's what we did. We decided to visit the friend in Grenoble. So, we are going by train from Paris to Grenoble and spending two nights. Then, we take the airport shuttle to Lyon and fly to Venice and spend 3 nights. Then a train to La Spezia and stay three nights in Cinque Terre. Then a train to Florence and spend three nights...doing a Tuscany tour one of the days. Then we will fly to Barcelona for four nights and then train it to Madrid for two nights.
Booking well in advance, and getting great rates, as we are several rooms....We were able to get great deals at really nice hotels (used TA for that). Many we paid for in advance through Expedia (you never know what the USD against the Euro is going to do) with cancellation policies.
Through much experience...we booked morning flights (cause mark my words..it'll change) on both of our flights and got great deals. Used Vueling for Florence to Barcelona and Easyjet from Lyon to Venice. Christina, we ended up booking the NH Centro in Barcelona. It was more in our price range and still well located.
Anyway, thanks all for your help and advice. I really appreciate it!
Report Abuse
oh, well I loved the NH Calderon, so maybe the other one is just as nice just not in as expensive a location. Very nice and comfortable rooms. It was the only hotel I've been in where they literally had two closets (his and hers), and I didn't have a deluxe room. And the outer lobby area around the elevators was separated from the bedroom by a long hallway (inside your room area), and then you could shut a door to the bedroom area, so it was very quiet. The bathroom was off that hallway.
But let's hope the other NH has the same company standards of service and design. I think it is a lesser hotel though (3* vs. 4*), but it looks nice enough. That location is good, just more down in the Ramblas area than the Eixemple which I prefer. It should be fine, and convenient.
Report Abuse
It's a pit stop. If it's clean, decently located and has a bed, it's alright by me. Some of our other hotels have views (like in Venice and Florence). We plan on being out about as much as we can.
Report Abuse
In Florence, we liked the Relais Cavalcanti. Right in the center of old Florence. Run by two sisters whose family has owned the building for centuries. The hotel is on two floors of the building, with a lift that takes you there. It is small and very charming.
Report Abuse
PS If you contact the hotels directly, often you can get a discount for paying cash, or a discount for reserving directly.
In Venice, we liked the one-star Hotel Riva.

In just four short hours I'll be DONE with my last paper and last bit of work for the whole semester! It'll require some solid effort to finish this off, though, and something to reward me as I'm writing…and this is where the Laoshan Northern Black comes in.
I decided to steep this gongfu style, because I'm getting better at that now. After the ~5 sec rinse, I steeped it about 5 sec (with 2 teaspoons to 5 oz water).
Oh man. Oatmeal raisin toast. It's been too long since I last had some of this! It's so creamy and smooth. I almost feel like I put some creamer in here, but…I…didn't. I am consistently amazed at the stunning smoothness of the black teas I've gotten from Verdant.
I think I'll be able to finish this paper in no time. Bring it on.
UPDATE: I'm on the fourth steeping now, and I'm getting this fantastic sweet, light but full cocoa-y note that's filling my mouth. Also, I have to mention that when I've been steeping this, it's been hard to come out of my hanging-my-face-over-the-cup reverie because the steeping aroma smells so much like cocoa, particularly like this fantastic cocoa mousse my dad always makes to serve with angelfood cake. Mmmm.
ANOTHER UPDATE: I've been drinking this allllll day. I'm on the eleventh steeping now, and it's still soft, sweet, a little dark and raisiny, and perfect.
THE UPDATES, WILL THEY EVER CEASE? I made it to fifteen infusions. Then I had to go to bed. These leaves have lasted longer than I have.

In The Secretary by Marc Dorcel Pictures, a plethora of tight-bodied typing pool twats tries to finagle their way to the top of their professions. Or are they? At the beginning of the film, some unknown peeping Tom or peeping Joan is camped out in the bushes taking risqu´ photographs of his or her boss (Bruno S X) getting it on with the beautiful blonde Carla Cox and one other guy (Ian Scott). If extortion is the game, that voyeur came to the right place. The shutter clicks on a wide assortment of vaginal, anal, threeway and DP action that is sure to garner a hefty raise or promotion of some kind.
The question becomes: who took the shots and why is he or she so angry at the extort-ees? It's a great question and one that we really can't answer, despite having seen the movie. No, we're not trying to be assholes. It's just that the whole movie is in French and our bosses won't splurge for Rosetta Stone. So, we're left to wonder. Are they mad about possible layoffs? A white flag shortage? Or, is it the fact that CSI: Punta Gorda was just cancelled and Ben & Jerry's has gone too corporate? Being in an office setting, it may just be the copier is jammed and they're all out of toner. We don't really know.
The Secretary is, however, a great social experiment for English-speaking natives. Why? People always say they don't care for dialogue or back story, that they watch porn for the fucking. That may be true, but people also complain about sports announcers on television, yet when they go to a live event, they've got ear buds crammed into their skulls listening to whatever the broadcasters are saying. The point is this: will you miss the banter when it's not there or if you can't understand it?
Well, that's an individual crisis that can't be answered with a blanket response, but we think the hotness of the women in this film will make you forget all about the plot — whatever it is. Just take a look at the second scene. The timid guy (Titof) at the office (we know this because of the caption at the bottom of the screen when he is introduced) has a fantasy about getting it on with two of the secretaries, Tarra White and the sublime Bijou. For a timid creature, his fantasies are certainly very explicit including some titty-fucking, threeway, pussy eating and anal fucking. There are some nice face-sitting shots worked in and a nice view of dude's tongue dancing across Tarra's folds. There are also some well-timed slo-motion shots of Bijou's lovely tits bouncing around while she rides cock. A cumshot on their bespectacled faces concludes the excellent scene.
Another threesome between Carla and the same two guys transpires in the next scene. You'll see many of the same positions as before, and once again there are shots being snapped from outside. While you won't want to see some old man fucking some young chick a second time, you'll want to see the two cumshots that Carla takes on her ass. Droplets of ooze run down her ass crack and pool right in her bum star as she hunkers down on all fours, ass facing directly at the camera lens.
Judging by the urgency displayed on the boss's face after this scene, we're guessing he is now aware that someone has it out for him. He begins to get defensive with everyone, asking if he or she knows how the illicit pictures of his private life managed to slip through the mail undetected, let alone escape from the minimum wage employee at the Fotomat, without raising any suspicion. From this point on, everyone is on notice, every move scrutinized to a ridiculous degree. You'll definitely be scrutinizing Bijou and Tarra when they engage in a lesbian fling on the boss's makeshift putting green. Bijou fingers Tarra while lapping up her clit, which has reached near fossilized levels of hardness. Bijou has some astounding tits as you'll see when she sits on the desk and Tarra plants her face in her soft cooch. When the film goes split screen, it's double the breastage, the sight of which will make your head explode!
Carla is then seen taking on a couple of grunts down at the warehouse (Michael Cheritto and Tony Corleone) in another threeway. The gorgeous Eliska Cross, the one keeping her head down all this time, gets the office Casanova's (Mike Angelo) head up, fucking him and taking a drippy load onto her lovely tits.
Finalizing the film is a narration and a film montage that seems to recap the action. We see a woman, who we presume is the boss's wife, slapping the two-timer (maybe three-timer in this case) across the chops and storming out of his office. Sitting in a chair is Eliska, who turns to the camera and gives us all a wink. In America, that would indicate guilt. In France, that could be a sign of constipation. Who knows?
The Secretary is proof that you don't need to know what's going on at all to enjoy watching well-proportioned and naturally endowed women ride the rocket. Now, that's saying something! What, we're not exactly sure, on account of it was all in French.

Performance times
This film is not currently showing in cinemas.
A unique one night only cinema event directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly), One More Time With Feeling will be the first ever opportunity anyone will have to hear Skeleton Tree, the sixteenth studio album from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The film will screen in cinemas across the world on 8th September 2016, immediately prior to the release of Skeleton Tree the following day.
Originally a performance based concept, One More Time With Feeling evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds' filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave's narration and improvised rumination. Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is fragile, raw and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness.

In a Perfect World...
June 15, 2006 - Never say never. That's our optimistic, glass-is-half-full take on the top Xbox games that will never -- er, maybe never be made into titles for the next-generation Xbox 360. In this age of exclusive sports licenses, huge franchises and the death of the original IP, the realist in us knows that these games will probably never see the light of day again, no matter how beloved they are by Xbox owners the world over. In our opinion, that's a shame.
2004 is Lost
March 31, 2004 - On Monday, IGN Sports shocked the gaming community with a report that all Microsoft first-party XSN Sports games were cancelled for 2004. The next installment of MS sports games won't hit until at least 2005 and may not come out until Xbox Next. XSN Sports Manager Kevin Browne was pretty clear in the reasoning -- Microsoft's sports games just haven't been very good. But is there more to it than wanting an extra year of development? We'll take a look at the reasoning and what options Microsoft has to fill the sports void on Xbox.
Inside Pitch Tournament
June 5, 2003 - Sure, you can beat your friends when they play as the Devil Rays and you step onto the diamond as the corked-up Cubs. You might even stand a chance online when little Billy steps up to the plate for his first at bat. But if you're a fan of Inside Pitch your real test will come in the first annual "Xbox Live Inside Pitch Champions Challenge."
Inside Pitch 2003 Review
May 22, 2003 - It's arguable whether or not baseball is America's favorite pastime. Ask any loyal baseball fan, and they'll blindly assure you that baseball is still the heart and soul of America. Ask a die hard Raiders fan and you may get a very different answer (and a whiff of their breath... P + U). With all this dissention, it's nice to know there's one thing every sports enthusiast will agree on this summer: Inside Pitch 2003 is nobody's favorite pastime. In fact, Inside Pitch has the dubious honor of easily being the worst baseball game on Xbox this year. With no franchise mode, mediocre graphics, forgettable sound, and ugly gameplay, Inside Pitch puts Microsoft sports on the same level as 989 Studios. In short: This game sucks, don't buy it. Read on for more details on this stinker!
GDC 2003: Inside Pitch 2003 Hands-On
March 7, 2003 - Only recently announced, Microsoft's fist foray into console baseball may be shipping two months after the other Xbox baseball titles, but it's the only one to feature custom soundtracks and Xbox Live head-to-head play. Little else was known about Inside Pitch. That is, until now. I had the chance to pit the Yankees against the Red Sox in beautiful Fenway Park and play a few innings of Inside Pitch 2003. You've wondered about the batting interface, the pitching interface, and the overall feel? All those questions and concerns can now be answered. Read on...
Microsoft Pitches Inside
February 26, 2003 - Microsoft has just announced the Xbox's very first first-party baseball title, inside Pitch 2003. And yes, my friends, it will be online.
Microsoft Throws Chin Music
January 6, 2003 - First-party baseball becomes a reality.

The Evil Triangle: Pocono2Posted by in General - (3 Comments)
That is my new name for Pocono. I have no reason except that I don't like this track (I have said that many times). Team Home Depot came in second today after battling an extremely loose race car. When the race started I saw some ominous and obvious thunderheads in the area and I said (to myself since I am the only one in the room) that I was sure there would be a rain delay at some point today. I would be right.
During the warm up laps before the race the banter on the radio between Stewart and his crew was lighthearted. Stewart even claimed that the crew might be able to work on their tans from where they were. The race started out with two fairly quick cautions, one of which (the Harvick/Nemechek spin), I heard Tony ask his spotter if he caused (he didn't). Tony then moved up quickly through the field. At the first pit stop they opted to put in a spring rubber and that is when he started falling backwards like a brick. Despite the first couple of spins there were relatively few cautions (especially when compared to last weeks all-caution 400). First there is the yellow for a sprinkling on the track. Then it goes green again…. Then we ended up with a red flag rain delay. By the rain delay team home depot had fallen back to 26th position with something like 69 laps to go because of a pit stop right before the rain delay. During the rain delay it was fun to see all the drivers out of their cars on pit road socializing. When Tony was giving his HotPass interview during the red Jeff Burton came over and doused him with a cup of water. That was pretty funny.
It was after the red flag that Team Home Depot really seemed to turned it on. Tony quickly worked his way up through the field…sometimes passing people two at a time. Pitting right before the red flag actually worked to their advantage and they were able to make the rest of the race on only one more stop where many had to take two more stops. With Greg Zipadelli urging Stewart to save him a little bit of fuel each lap Tony was able to make it to the checker flag with just one more pit stop which brought him up to second -where he finished. This brought Tony up one position in the points up to 9th spot. Carl Edwards, race winner, gained two positions in the points standings bringing him up to third behind second place Dale Earnhardt Jr and first place in points -Kyle Busch.
Some Notes About Pocono:
- Keifer Southerland gave a damn good command to start engines. Almost as good as Brendan Fraiser.
- Rear tire changer for Team Home Depot made an excellent recovery after slipping/tripping on the hose and still got Tony's tire changed and out on pit row in a decent time. Good job.
- Funniest thing I heard was when Greg Zipadelli relayed to Tony that "the two just spun all by himself they just showed it!" and then you see the Home Depot crew watching the hotpass feed.
- I found out the best way to kill time during a red flag…take pictures of my nephew. Those will come tomorrow.
- Also- while watching Tony on HotPass I swear my nephew was occasionally watching him. It seemed like he would watch for awhile and then play with his toy…watch for awhile and play with his toy. I swear he was checking to see where tony was! (remember he is only 4 months old)
- And? Cheering with a four month old in my lap? A whole new experience. I tend to be very…vocal in my cheering but didn't want to scare the boy-child on my lap…so I found myself motioning for him to pass people with my hand…you probably had to be there…but it was…different. Maybe my nephew brings tony luck.
Next week: Watkins Glen (aka The Glen). Tony does well on road courses usually…lets hope he brings us Smoke fans home a trophy!

Sometimes You Just Need to Be a Jerk
It's not like I consider this to be my mission in life or anything, but I must admit I do take an almost sport-like satisfaction in being a complete jerk to guys who annoy me. Let me clarify what I mean by "annoy me:" I mean guys who reek, to at least some degree, of sleaze.
The ones who sidle up to you at parties and think you can't tell that their intense interest in your most mundane thoughts is fake, even though they spend half the conversation looking at your boobs. The ones who touch the small of your back half drunkenly, because they probably read somewhere that this move will make you more comfortable with them, thereby increasing the potential to hook up. Boring, ordinary guys who can't hold much of a conversation because they're too focused on their purpose – which could involve either you, or any other vagine in the room – to actually be interesting.
That's probably pretty harsh and judgmental of me. Sad story. Sometimes I get annoyed by guys who I sense are trying out some technique they read on a blog somewhere. Sometimes it's that there's a sense of arrogance about the way their flirtation is so methodical and aggressive. Mostly it comes down to having zero respect for someone who is clearly on the prowl, because I just want to enjoy my beverage and have some stimulating conversation without getting eye-f*%ked. There is nothing more irritating and depressing than someone who has nothing to contribute to a conversation and just keeps prodding you to talk because he's A.) Thinking that by listening, you'll assume he's a great guy and will therefore want to get it on, B.) Using this time to zone out and think about hooking up and C.) Totally not even listening.
There are different degrees of responding to these guys, but you can still do so in a callous and insensitive way. The quickest is to just end the conversation. Smile and nod, tell him that your friend across the room just fell over and you have to go be with her now, and walk away. Or, if you feel like you shouldn't be the one to change location, you can make the guy want to leave by being unresponsive and unfriendly. You don't have to be downright mean, just look at him like he insulted your dying grandmother when he tries to be entertaining. This should be easy because he probably isn't very entertaining at all anyway.
This is why I'm terrible. I love to watch these guys sweat. I love to see their tried and true tactics fail and their egos shrivel. Even though I know that in a few minutes they'll find some other girl to build it back up again, I honestly enjoy the feeling of making a jerk feel like he's a jerk. Because why should I exert any energy to be patient and friendly with someone who has zero interest in anything above my neck and below my knees? Lucky for me I was born with a bucket of snark in one hand and a bin full of sass in the other. Fun fact: these dudes most often don't pick up on either of these things. If they do, it takes them a while. In the meantime, their confusion and obliviousness is far more entertaining than the pointless conversation they're desperately trying to salvage from the brink of total apathy.
I wish I could be sympathetic to these dudes. I wish I could be less judgmental and refrain from categorizing them immediately and mentally dismissing them. I also wish I had a kitten, but I'm allergic, so let's just chalk it all up to one of life's sad stories and move on, okay? Okay. I'm not saying look someone in the eye and tell them that they're a useless collection of bone and tissue who's wasting precious minutes of your life. You're not Regina George, nor should you ever aspire to be. But that doesn't mean you should let some jerk get all up in your grill, especially if his intentions are shallow and sleazy. Too often women feel the need to be polite instead of asserting themselves and their space. I say take back your parties, nay, all your social interactions, and feel no remorse prioritizing interesting people and fun times over the wants of some guy you'll never, in your right mind, speak to again.

Seems fishy: Bucs bit by curse of Bream?
Seems fishy: Bucs bit by curse of Bream?
PITTSBURGH -- Did dredging up one of the most wretched episodes in Pirates history make a cosmic contribution to the 2012 club's downfall? During the Bucs' early-season visit to Atlanta, they were inundated by replays on Turner Field's giant video board of "The Slide," by Sid Bream, which gave the Braves the comeback 1992 National League pennant. As if that wasn't bad enough, fans were also incessantly reminded to come back on June 9 for a bobblehead depicting the event. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Bucs invited the haunting to their own front door.
On Aug. 24, in the opener of the Pirates' previous series against the Brewers, Bream took part in a season-long promotion by serving as the guest bartender at a PNC Park pub. His image was on the scoreboard, and an interview with him interrupted the game telecast. The Pirates took the field that night with a record of 67-57, one game out of a National League Wild Card playoff berth. They lost, 6-5, and have kept on losing, going 7-16 since then. Sure, Bream spent most of his career -- 1985 to 1990 -- with the Pirates. But didn't he do more against them than for them? Apparently, he still is.

Some Coronado parents were on alert Saturday after two middle school-aged girls reported a man asking them to get in his van.
Around 7:20 p.m. Friday, the two girls were standing on the sidewalk in the 500 block of F Avenue, waiting to be picked up by a parent after a school event.
A man inside a van soon pulled up alongside them and asked the girls if they needed a ride. He said if they did, they should get in his van, according to Coronado Police spokesperson Lea Corbin.
Knowing better than to accept a ride from a stranger, the girls ran away and called a parent, who picked them up a block away.
The man is described as light-skinned with brown hair and highlights. Witnesses say he was driving a burgundy 1980s Chevy-type, full-size van with a dent on the driver's side of the body panel.
There appeared to be a baseball bat on the dashboard, and the back window was smaller than the middle window.
Police were classifying this as a suspicious incident, not an attempted kidnapping, Corbin said.
If you know anything about the man or the vehicle, call Coronado Police at 619-522-7350.

LOS ANGELES >> A Superior Court judge Monday dismissed Central Basin Municipal Water District's lawsuit contending the Water Replenishment District of Southern California had violated Proposition 218 procedural requirements in setting its rates.
Judge Ralph Dau made the ruling at the request of Central Basin's board, which had voted 3-2 in August to drop the lawsuit.
"We're very pleased," said Tony Perez, the district's general manager.
"We asked for the dismissal based on feedback we received from our constituents," Perez said. "Since the case is now in its penalty phase, we feel we have set the road map for the people we represent to seek remedies if that's what they wish."
Central Basin filed its lawsuit in 2011 against WRD, challenging its assessment for ground water pumping, about a year after the cities of Cerritos, Downey and Signal Hill had brought the same lawsuit. But no ruling has been made on damages.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant had already has ruled that WRD violated Proposition 218 procedural requirements in setting the rate.
However, Central Basin doesn't pump water and thus can't receive any money back from the WRD.
Many water officials in the Southeast area of Los Angeles County had called on the district to drop the lawsuit.
"I think it's great news," said Mark Grajeda, general manager of Pico Water District. "I'm glad to see the judge made it formal. I don't believe (the district) should have ever gotten involved in the first place."
Grajeda and others were concerned about the money Central Basin was spending on the case. It already had spent about $500,000 and could have spent another $400,000 to $600,000 on the case, Curtis Parvin, the attorney who is representing the district, told the board in August.
Jim Glancy, president of the Central Basin Water Association, called the decision by the district "a prudent move."
"(Central Basin) doesn't pay a replenishment assessment," Glancy said. "The cities that do are ably moving forward with the (Proposition) 218 question. They will do a good job."
Officials from the cities suing WRD have said Central Basin's dropping out of the case will have no effect on their lawsuit.
Judge Dau on Monday also heard arguments from the replenishment district and the three cities on their Proposition 218 lawsuit.
Attorneys for the two sides argued about damages and how much the cities could recover. It could be in the millions of dollars.
Before Monday's hearing, Dau issued a tentative ruling that would limit the amount of money, Cerritos, Downey and Signal Hill could collect. However following arguments, he took the case under submission and didn't make a ruling.
No trial date has been set.

You shouldn't have to know someone personally to support their basic civil rights, but taking an issue out of the abstract and into the real world always seems to help change minds. By that logic, the Campaign for Southern Equality's new WE DO Campaign should go a long way, thanks to these endearing, heartbreaking new videos of gay couples applying and getting rejected for North Carolina marriage licenses.
As part of a planned campaign, same-sex couples have been coming to the county register's office in Asheville, North Carolina for the past ten days requesting marriage licenses with the knowledge that under state law they will be denied. The officials rejecting them seem surprisingly sympathetic to the cause (even as they're turning the couples away), but also pretty uncomfortable to be filmed for the project. The campaign is very timely, and as WE DO's website explains:
"[The campaign] takes place as statewide debate intensifies about a proposed amendment to the North Carolina constitution that would ban marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships for same-sex couples."
Here's hoping this classic protest tactic actually makes a difference. In the meantime, check out the video above and get ready to cry a little bit at your desk.

Schuylkill United Way kicks off 2013 campaign
ANDREW LEIBENGUTH/TIMES NEWS Pictured during the Tamaqua Area Schuylkill United Way campaign kick-off are, from front left, Tom Cara, board member, Schuylkill United Way; Mary Ann Devlin, executive director, Tamaqua Child Development; Jean Angelo, volunteer representative, Tamaqua Meals on Wheels; and Kris Verba, 2013 Schuylkill United Way campaign chairperson. From back left are Jeff Bowe, chairman, Tamaqua 2013 Schuylkill United Way campaign; Nick Zigmant, executive director, Tamaqua YMCA; Major Sharon Whispell, Tamaqua Salvation Army; and Brian Connely, vice chairman, Tamaqua 2013 Schuylkill United Way campaign.
"We wouldn't be able to do the things we do here," said Sharon Whispell of the Tamaqua Salvation Army, as she gave her remarks to a large crowd during Friday's Schuylkill United Way's 2013 Tamaqua Area Campaign Kick-Off Luncheon at La Dolce Casa Restaurant in Tamaqua, with close to 50 guests in attendance.
"This year's campaign goal is to raise $1,002,013, including the Tamaqua area goal of $102,013, said Kris Verba, 2013 campaign chairperson. "Over 80 percent of what is raised is then allocated to the 15 partner agencies that offer a wide variety of programs and services and solely serve residents of Schuylkill County."
"At the start of the Tamaqua Area campaign, $61,277 is already raised to date," said Jeff Bowe, 2013 Tamaqua Area Chairman. "That is approximately 60 percent of the Tamaqua total goal. The county campaign has already raised $313,059, which is approximately 31 percent of the total goal.
"What we raise here, stays in Schuylkill County," Bowe added.
Of the overall total, Jay Jones and Bob Weaver, co-chairs of the Pacesetters Club, reported that $167,049 was pledged through the Pacesetters Club by 159 members.
This year, Bowe, accompanied by Assistant Chairman Brian Connely, spoke to the crowd and offered words of wisdom and encouragement as he captivated the audience and got them geared up for the 2013 "United To Make A Difference" Campaign. This year Connely will work alongside Bowe and is being groomed to be next year's 2014 Tamaqua Area Campaign Chairman. Both also serve on the Schuylkill United Way board of directors.
Other speakers during the kickoff included Tom Cara, board member, Schuylkill United Way; and keynote speaker Stephanie Barron, vice president, Sexual Assault Resource and Counseling Center (SARCC).
Others in attendance included Tamaqua Police Officer Karl Harig, the Rev. James Burdess of St. Joseph's Church in Summit Hill, Schuylkill Commissioners Gary Hess and George Halcovage.
During the breakfast, the 2013 campaign video was also unveiled. Ed Redding of R & D Communications along with VideoWorks Productions was instrumental in putting together this year's video for the Schuylkill United Way. The video highlighted the difference that the Schuylkill United Way and its agencies have made in the lives of people when life hands them difficulties, with a "when life gives you lemons" themed story.
Throughout the campaign, the Schuylkill United Way staff and volunteers will be giving employee presentations to local area businesses. The presentations last no longer than 15 minutes and include valuable information about both the Schuylkill United Way and partner agencies, along with a showing of the campaign video.
If you would like to sign up for an employee presentation, call the Schuylkill United Way office at (570) 622-6421 to schedule. For more information about the 2013 "United To Make A Difference" Campaign or to view their campaign video, visit www.schuylkillunitedway.org.
"Relationships we form will last way beyond this campaign," added Bowe. "We are united to make a difference."

Bids of over €2.85m sought for Dublin office buildings
A number of Georgian office buildings in the centre of Dublin have been on the market with an asking price of nearly €3m.
Joint Agents Quinn Agnew and Bennett's Auctioneers are quoting in excess of €2,85m for 19, 20 and 21 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2.
The properties are being offered for sale by best bids with a deadline for offers of noon on July 22.
The offices are currently "significantly under rented", say Quinn Agnew, with "immediate potential to increase rental levels due to expiring leases and the letting of voids".
The offices are currently producing an annual rent of €143,525 and aside from one basement office are fully occupied. In addition to the offices the properties also have 20 car spaces at the rear.
Current tenants include Kieran Ryan & Co, Egan O'Reilly Solicitors and Sharon Hoey Bridal Dresses.
Selling Agent Marc McGrath, of Quinn Agnew, said he expected there to be a lot of interest in the property.
"We are anticipating strong interest in this sale in light of the continued recovery in the Dublin investment market and the hardening of rental values in the general Dublin 2 area".
This is the latest sale of Georgian-era buildings that have since been converted to offices, as demand for investment opportunities in prime areas of Dublin shows little sign of abating.
In April CBRE put two properties on Leeson Street on the block while BNP Paribas has sold a similar office on Herbert Street between Baggot Street and Mount Street Crescent.
Office buildings in the top areas of the capital continue to be hugely popular with investors – even for those properties that are not in tip top condition.
After nearly €2bn worth of commercial property changed hands last year as much as €5bn could be moved in 2014.
By far the majority of those sales will take place in Dublin and in turn will likely be focused on the likes of Dublin 2 and Dublin 4.
Elsewhere, Quinn Agnew has been tasked with selling a community centre in Ballyfermot for around €825,000. The three buildings extend to 1,176 sq m and occupy a site of 0.42 ha.
While the buildings are in reasonable condition Manus Agnew, which is handling the sale, expects interest from a from a wide variety of users, as the site is zoned z4 which allows for varied uses including medical and retail.
Offers in excess of €825,000 are sought for the sale which is offered by private treaty.

Photographer's Note
Nandigram....a touchy name of place in westbengal.I had to move there for my official work.this shot was taken on the way ,just less than one kilometer from the historic spot....why historic? people from bengal all know,as all india might know,some info for them who dont know....
Nandigram is a rural area with two commuunity development blocks in Haldia subdivision of Purba Medinipur district of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located about 70 km south-west of Kolkata, on the south bank of the Haldi River, opposite the industrial city of Haldia. The area falls under the Haldia Development Authority.
The Nandigram violence was an incident in Nandigram in the West Bengal state of India, where, on the orders of the Left Front government, more than 4,000 heavily armed police stormed the Nandigram area with the aim of stamping out protests against the West Bengal governments plans to expropriate 10,000 acres (40 km2) of land for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to be developed by the Indonesian-based Salim Group. The police shot dead at least 14 villagers and wounded 70 more.
November 2007 violence:-
A fresh round of violence came up in November 2007, as the villagers who were thrown out of Nandigram by the BUPC returned home. The return of the villagers was marred by violence unleashed by the ruling party cadres over the resisting BUPC cadre in Nandigram. The media termed this return as a "recapture" by the CPI(M).
2008 violence:-
In May 2008, fresh violence broke out in Nandigram between supporters of the Bhumi Uchhed Pratirodh Committee, and the CPM activists. Both sides exchanged fire and hurled bombs at each other, with CPM getting the worst of it. It finally led to the re-capture of the lost base by BUPC aided by the District Trinamool Congress led by Subhendu Adhikary. A status quo has been reserved since then and Nandigram remains a Trinamool stronghold, albeit by force of arms.
Some more peaceful shots will be posted soon.........."how much can it be changed"

New York, NY - Mayor Says Rebuilt Boardwalk in Rockaways Won't Be Wooden
New York, NY - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pledging to rebuild the miles of beach boardwalks destroyed by Superstorm Sandy - but he says the new models aren't going to be made of wood.
For years now, city officials have talked about wanting to replace the hardwood in the boardwalks with more durable and environmentally friendly materials, like concrete and plastic composites.
Nostalgia buffs have protested, but the mayor told The Wave, a neighborhood newspaper in the devastated Rockaway Peninsula, that the storm settled the issue for good.
He told the paper "there will be no more wooden boardwalks in Rockaway or anywhere else."
City parks officials say concrete sections of boardwalk in the Rockaways and Coney Island held up much better in the storm.

How about trex -they build decks out of that
Dec 02, 2012 at 09:41 AM
plastic composites.
Dec 02, 2012 at 10:57 AM
And maybe he shouldn't allow houses to built of wood anymore, either - the brick houses withstood the storm much better as well!
Some things are just a piece of the city as they were. replacing the Wonder Wheel and parachute Jump in Coney Island with merry-go-rounds may be safer, but would destroy the meaning and history of Coney Island.
Dec 02, 2012 at 01:11 PM
the mayor is using the storm to pursue his own agenda he has been trying to change the boardwalks to cement for years
Dec 02, 2012 at 02:09 PM
More durable, probably yes. Environmentally friendly, no. In what way is a boardwalk that is comprised of "plastic composites" more environmentally friendly than wood?
Dec 02, 2012 at 05:17 PM
I hope all the powers that be are aware that this renovation would be considered "New Construction" under The ADA, and therefore it should be recogonized that the WOOD boardwalk would not be considered compliant according to the ADAAGS.
If the City wants to be involved in expensive litigation after construction, then they should go ahead an approve a non-compliant wood surface.
Dec 02, 2012 at 05:45 PM
it won't be able to be called a "board"walk if it's made out of something else.
Dec 06, 2012 at 07:23 PM
An advanced, wood decked, concrete composite piling and beam system that can be retrofitted over the 1930' era substructure: http://tinyurl.com/HCB-Boardwalk
This would give new Yorkers the sturdiness of the concrete substructure that survived Sandy yet preserve the traditional look and feel of the historic New York Boardwalks.

Effector Caspases and Substrates Antibody Sampler Kit #12690
This product is discontinued
The Effector Caspases and Substrates Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means to evaluate the activation of effector (executioner) caspases. The kit contains enough primary antibody to perform at least four western blots per primary antibody.
Each antibody in the Effector Caspases and Substrates Antibody Sampler Kit recognizes endogenous levels of its respective target. Caspase-3 (8G10) Rabbit mAb recognizes full-length (35 kDa) and the large fragment (17/19 kDa) of caspase-3 resulting from cleavage at Asp175. Caspase-6 Antibody recognizes full length (35 kDa) and the small subunit (15 kDa) of caspase-6 resulting from cleavage at Asp193. Caspase-7 (D2Q3L) Rabbit mAb recognizes full-length (35 kDa) and the large subunit (20 kDa) of caspase-7 resulting from cleavage at Asp198. PARP Antibody recognizes full length (116 kDa) and the large fragment (89 kDa) of PARP1 resulting from caspase cleavage at Asp214. Lamin A/C (4C11) Mouse mAb recognizes full-length lamin A and lamin C proteins, and the larger fragments of lamin A (50 kDa) and lamin C (41 kDa) resulting from caspase cleavage. Lamin B1 (D4Q4Z) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total lamin B1 protein and a 25 kDa fragment resulting from caspase cleavage.
Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues adjacent to Asp175 in human caspase-3 protein, residues surrounding Pro158 of human caspase-7 protein, residues surrounding Leu118 of human lamin B1 protein, or with a recombinant fragment of human lamin A protein. Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding the cleavage site of caspase-6 or the caspase cleavage site in PARP. Polyclonal antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Apoptosis is a regulated physiological process leading to cell death. Caspases, a family of cysteine acid proteases, are central regulators of apoptosis. Caspase-3 (CPP-32, Apoptain, Yama, SCA-1), Caspase-6 (Mch2), and Caspase-7 (CMH-1, Mch3, ICE-LAP3) are effector caspases functioning in cellular apoptotic processes (1-6). Upon apoptotic stimulation, initiator caspases such as caspase-9 (ICE-LAP6, Mch6) are cleaved and activated (7). The activated upstream caspases further process downstream executioner caspases by cleaving them into activated large and small subunits, thereby initiating a caspase cascade leading to apoptosis (4,6,8-10).
PARP, a 116 kDa nuclear poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, appears to be involved in DNA repair in response to environmental stress (11). This protein can be cleaved by many ICE-like caspases in vitro (1,12) and is one of the main cleavage targets of caspase-3 in vivo (10,13). In human PARP, cleavage occurs between Asp214 and Gly215, which separates the PARP amino-terminal DNA binding domain (24 kDa) from the carboxy-terminal catalytic domain (89 kDa) (10,12). PARP helps cells to maintain their viability; cleavage of PARP facilitates cellular disassembly and serves as a marker of cells undergoing apoptosis (14).
Lamins are nuclear membrane structural components that are important in maintaining normal cell functions, such as cell cycle control, DNA replication, and chromatin organization (15-17). Lamins have been subdivided into types A and B. Type-A lamins consist of lamin A and C, which arise from alternative splicing of the lamin A gene LMNA. Lamin A and C are cleaved by caspases into large (41-50 kDa) and small (28 kDa) fragments, which can be used as markers for apoptosis (18,19). Type-B lamins consist of lamin B1 and B2, encoded by separate genes (20-22). Lamin B1 is also cleaved by caspases during apoptosis (23).

"Let ChannelNext help you develop and execute your next private reseller, end-user or corporate event"
Getting ROI from events
The top 10 reasons why vendors participate at ChannelNext events
What People Are Saying
Always worth my time to go to these events. Great networking as always and a fresh take on many vendors I thought I knew.
The ChannelNext event was a wonderful success! Thank you to each of you for your kindness, courtesy, generosity and hard work. The reseller turn out was excellent, and the expo was filled with potential customers. Thank you for taking our vendor feedback from last year and putting it into action. From Marketcircle
I enjoyed myself at the ChannelNext event and that the event was well run and very interesting. I look forward to participating in future events!
And thank you so much for all your help during this event, the Technoplanet team can be described in just one word- wonderful.
It was an overall pleasant experience, good job done by the staff, good venue and quite informative. I would definitely like to attend in the future.
"I thought the ChannelNEXT meeting was well run and a lot of fun. In 30 plus years of selling I have never been to a meeting that was so focused on networking and lead generation. I got 19 solid leads at the end of 2 days which I am following up!" from FrontRow
"We enjoyed the event a lot and we were also able to make some really good new contacts which was fantastic. I certainly look forward to the next event" from Kaseya
"I enjoyed it. I was impressed to see 100% turnout for the presentation. You have a very loyal and committed group!" from Cisco
Again it was a wonderful event. The activities were great but there was not too much either. This left us time to meet people and connect with them. The orientation meeting and particulary the speed dating was useful to break the ice and set further contact. Also the fact that there was a small number of participant gave us a better possibility of connecting with resellers. Finally the unique location you have chosen and the wonderful work of your team created a relaxed atmosphere that was pleasant and useful at the same time.
Channel Next is one of my favourite events of the year in the IT industry. Because we stay onsite and associate with vendors and other VARs, relationships are started. The vendors I meet at a ChannelNext event always are front and centre in my vision for future opportunities. A vendor that chooses to attend this event is a vendor that wants to take to time to listen to the VARs and find out what we need to sell their products. It is much more then a simple conference. The cross VAR opportunities are also very valuable, especially with VARs that are in non-competing cities can collaborate and join forces.
"What a wonderful event this year. I was unfortunately not able to attend last years western event at Whistler, but I really found the 2010 event to be much better than Banff 2008, due in large part to our new status as a Gold sponsor. Being able to present to every attendee was a real value-add." From Eaton
After arriving back home last night, it became clear to us that ChannelNext out of all the other conferences and seminars we attend annually has proven to be the most valuable for partnerships in both solidifying current and creating new ones. We are pleased to say we signed several agreements during our attendance and are now looking forward on capitalizing on those partnerships.
I thought the ChannelNEXT meeting was well run and a lot of fun. In 30 plus years of selling I have never been to a meeting that was so focused on networking and lead generation. I got 19 solid leads at the end of 2 days which I am following up!
"Thank you for taking such good care of us. We have a lot of following up to do and received a lot of great feedback. I look forward to your next event" from Netgear
Just wanted to thank you for the lovely and productive time at the ChannelNext event. We learned a great deal, made some excellent new supplier contacts and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
"The ChannelNEXT conference helped Bang transform its business from a white box provider into a Managed Services Provider. The conference introduced us to key partners that helped drive new revenues and develop our service offerings. Directly or indirectly partnerships developed at ChannelNEXT helped drive over 50% of our gross profits" From Bang
Thank you for putting together this conference. It was my first time and certainly not my last. I very much enjoyed the speakers, facilities and ultimately networking and relationship building.

Proposed Ireland trip to Pakistan is shelved
Cricket Ireland were prepared to send their squad to Pakistan this year to give them meaningful preparation ahead of the World Cup finals next February and March.
Following the killings at Karachi airport at the weekend, however, plans – which were at an advanced stage – to play three one-day internationals in Lahore have been shelved, but CI are not ruling out a future visit, though almost certainly not before the finals.
The fact they were even considering a visit to the country, where no international cricket has been played since 2009, when the Sri Lanka team were victims of an armed attack, underlines their keenness – some say desperation – to play Full Member opposition.
No official statement has been released by Cricket Ireland – the story originated out of Pakistan yesterday – but it seems to be a case of if teams won't come to Ireland, they are prepared to go to any lengths to play away.
The ODI series was set to be signed off, subject to final security clearance, at the ICC annual meeting in Melbourne this month, when officials from the Pakistan Cricket Board and Cricket Ireland – including chief executive Warren Deutrom – will be present, but any such visit has now been deferred.
I understand the players had not been aware of any such trip until its 'cancellation' became public yesterday but they would have been consulted before the series was confirmed.
It would have taken place in September en route to Australia and New Zealand where the squad will play eight games in three of the venues where they will play their World cup fixtures.
That four-week trip is due to be confirmed shortly.
Lagan Valley Steels Twenty20 Cup: At Moylena, Lisburn 117-5 (D Brown 41, D Simpson 26, C Ervine 21; G Nicholl 3-39) Muckamore 116-9 (P Fisher 39, B Scott 23; C Ervine 3-24, R Simpson 2-9, A McKeown 2-18). Lisburn won by 1 run.

we are despirate need of some ballistic shields, preferably with the view ports.....
I have a like new Safariland SSIII 070 Nylon Finish right hand for Sig 226-220 including R models if anyone needs it.
Need a black weave cuff case, either open or closed.
Leather or is faux leather okay? Give me a couple weeks and I may have an basketweave Accumold Elite (nylon but looks like leather) one available. PM me.
Scottydl, cant get pm to work, let me know and thanks!!FM12
If scottydl does not work out I have a basket weave closed top with silver snap. Let me know if you want it, Bigguns911
5.11 3X traffic vest ANSI/ISEA 207-2006 has a slot for pens , mic tab, badge tab and a small inside pocket. i think its this one but not sure http://www.amazon.com/5-11-Breakaway-Reflective-Yellow-Regular/dp/B001A72U8W
Bigguns 911, thanks, I'll let u know & THANKS!!
If anyone has, or knows where I can find a pancake holster (right handed) for a S&W Model 645/4506 pistol. I have a Model 645 and only wear off duty and cannot find a panacke holster anywhere.
IF anyone has one for free or swap, I will try to find something for a fair trade.
Many thanks.
No pancake, but I think i have a Galco paddle style, it that would help. used it for my long gone 5904. Let me know if interested. Actually after checking it's a Desantis, black smooth leather. Pretty good shape, but obviously used.
Jumpsuit was given to CT member, a deputy in FL.
Hey I'm still pretty new to CT forums, but does anyone have a nylon or kydex duty holster for a G22? That or a nylon duty belt...
FM12 I still need an address to send it to, I PM'ed you back but no answer? Get me an address if you still what it.
BIGGUNS: Ken Smith

Monroeville. Alabama 36460 & Thanks!!
I sent u a PM with my info, must have been sucked up by the tornadoes here!!
Anyone have an extra silent key holder in basketweave? I'd be happy to cover shipping.
I've got a used but great condition, Safariland open-top Streamlight Stinger flashlight holder, in black basketweave (# 306-11-4). I believe it's made for the Poly Grip version, I used the DS LED in it. PM if you want it....
I could use a couple more Safariland hidden-snap basketweave belt keepers, or a basketweave silent key holder....
I'm in need of a basketweave handcuff strap, if anyone has one available. I like my S&W Model 1 cuffs (they have additional ratchet teeth to fit extra large and extra small) as a backup pair, but they are too large to fit into a regular cuff case.
I realize that it's ironic that I haven't even hit the streets yet and I'm already posting her, but I have a plain leather Safariland double magazine holster. Fits a Glock 17/22 mag.
It's it good condition, just a small scuff on the bottom. I'm sure it could be polished out.

Megabus..never again. Was going from Glasgow to Manchester to see springsteen , booked a couple of months ago,got a great price. Got down no bother,bus was crowded but comfortable enough..then..return journey at 0130 from Manchester ,driver told myself and 5 other passengers bus was full and there was another bus just behind him that would she us to Glasgow, he lied, there was no other bus and they abandoned 6 passengers including 2 females in Manchester at 0130 in morning. Ended up spending a fortune in train and subsequently taxi fares as trains were cancelled due to weather. This company is a disgrace and obviously cares nothing for its customers. Will never use again. Only gave one star asi couldn't give none.

CBS News has announced the hiring of Seth Doane, most recently a New Delhi-based correspondent for CNN International. President of CBS News & Sports, Sean McManus calls Doane "one of the most impressive young reporters working today." "Seth further strengthens what has developed into a very strong corps of 'next generation' CBS News correspondents," McManus said. Doane will be based in New York.
Click continued to read the note from CBS…
Seth Doane will join CBS News as a New York-based correspondent, it was announced by Sean McManus, President, CBS News and Sports. The appointment is effective Aug. 13. Doane will contribute to all CBS News broadcasts.
Most recently, he was the New Delhi-based correspondent for CNN International (2006-07), responsible for coverage of India and South Asia. Doane covered a wide range of stories from there including reports from the brothels of Delhi, from remote villages of Nepal, where children are sold into slavery, and from the Maldives, threatened by global climate change.
"Seth is one of the most impressive young reporters working today,†said McManus. "He is distinctive, has great journalistic skills and, as his resume attests, has the drive to have a real impact on this profession. Seth further strengthens what has developed into a very strong corps of 'next generation' CBS News correspondents.â€
Doane brings other significant international experience from more than five years as an anchor and correspondent for Channel One News (2001-06), the in-school television news broadcast watched daily by almost eight million U.S. teenagers. He covered stories from Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Senegal, the Philippines, Kuwait, Jordan, Russia and many other countries for the channel.
Doane received a prestigious George Foster Peabody award in 2004 for his solo trip to Chad and Darfur, where he reported on the humanitarian crisis, traveling alone and shooting, producing and reporting while living in a tent.
Before that, he was a field producer for the special projects unit for Fox 5 WNYW-TV (2000-01) in New York. While there, Doane was nominated for a local Emmy Award in the "investigative†category for a report he produced on school security — at the age of 22.
He was graduated from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California in 2000 with a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism. Doane was born and raised on Cape Cod, Mass.

ZAGREB, Croatia, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- A judge in Zagreb has sentenced former Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader to 10 years in prison for war profiteering and corruption, prosecutors said.
Sanader becomes the first premier from the former Yugoslav region to be tried and found guilty of profiting from the war, B92 reported Wednesday.
Prosecutors had sought the maximum penalty of 15 years in prison for Sanader.
In addition to jail time, Sanader has been ordered to reimburse the state $4.6 million for money he gained unlawfully.
He is currently undergoing another corruption trial on charges of transferring money from state institutions to an HDZ party slush fund.
