Closed-door negotiations on Wednesday failed to settle a longstanding attempt to greatly expand New York City taxi service to the outer boroughs. But the meeting served to revive the issue and its chances of settlement before a pending bill is vetoed.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Taxi & Limousine Commissioner David Yassky said Thursday after the two-hour meeting in Albany that talks will continue to try to resolve a dispute over whether to allow street hails of some livery cabs in residential areas.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is also hoping a deal will bring $1 billion in revenue to the city, which could help address a deficit in the city budget.
Cuomo says major issues remain unresolved, including providing enough service to the disabled in specially equipped vehicles, but a deal is possible.
"I think we made good progress," said Cuomo, a week after negotiations appeared to end. "There are a number of significant issues ... You are talking about people's livelihoods," Cuomo said, referring to medallion owners, taxi drivers and cab company owners.
"We had a very productive discussion," Yassky said after the meeting. He wouldn't comment further.
Cars accessible to the disabled are expensive, and could be unaffordable based on the projected revenue, Cuomo said, relaying some of the debate to reporters.
"We don't have a good answer for that now," Cuomo said. "It's really important to me that it's accessible to the disabled."
There is also concern about enforcement of any plan, and transferability of any permits for cars in the outer boroughs.
Cuomo said he may still veto the bill passed by the Legislature if the current talks fail to arrive at a consensus. He said all sides are concerned that a new bill couldn't be passed by the Legislature.
"Their point is it can't be voted on because it's too controversial," Cuomo said. "I do have a bias to make progress when I can." He would not say whether he thinks a deal is likely, however.

The Calgary Stampeders coaching staff will look remarkably similar next season, despite a disappointing playoff loss.
Apart from the departure of offensive co-ordinator Steve Buratto, fired three weeks ago, most staff will return in 2007, the club announced yesterday.
Defensive co-ordinator Denny Creehan's contract has been extended through the 2008 CFL season while defensive assistants Tim Burke and Casey Creehan have signed 2007 contracts.
Special teams co-ordinator Craig Dickenson has also agreed to a contract extension.
The team also clarified the roles of Tom Higgins, senior v.p. of football operations, and GM Jim Barker.
The team said in a statement the two will be "working closely with respect to football and player personnel decisions," an apparent attempt to allay rumblings there has been front-office friction.
"There has been, outside of the organization, people thinking it hasn't been good but what we've done is we've shown who is responsible and where," Higgins said, trying to clarify their roles.
"He and I work very closely together ... I want Jim to be the 'bad guy' and me to be the 'good guy' (in player relations) because I'm dealing with the athletes. When we're talking with an athlete, I can tell them how much we want them (on the team) but there still are guidelines and stipulations (in terms of contracts and salary cap restrictions)."
The Stampeders also continue to interview prospective offensive co-ordinators to replace Buratto. Higgins said the new OC will make decisions on assistants.
Stamps QB coach Bill Diedrick and Saskatchewan assistant George Cortez have been interviewed, along with other candidates Higgins refused to name.
The ownership group also appointed minority owner Ted Hellard managing partner and president through 2009. Hellard has been president the last two seasons.

Government targets operators of Megaupload.com, area servers
In an attempt to derail Internet piracy, seven individuals and two corporations were charged by an Eastern District of Virginia grand jury with running an international organized crime enterprise.
The affiliated corporations, Megaupload Limited and Vestor Limited, were allegedly responsible for massive worldwide online piracy of copyrighted works, many of which traveled through servers in Ashburn.
According to court documents, the conspirators' content hosting site, Megaupload.com, advertised itself as having more than one billion visits to the site with more than 150 million users registered and 50 million daily visitors–accounting for 4 percent of the total traffic on the Internet.
The corporations earned more than $175 million in illegal profits through advertising revenue and premium memberships, U.S. lawyers say.
The Jan. 5 grand jury action is among the most landmark copyright cases ever brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The seven men were charged with engaging in a racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, conspiring to commit money laundering and two counts of criminal copyright infringement.
These charges together hold upwards of a 60-year maximum prison sentence. According to the indictment, Kim Dotcom (also known as Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor), 37, led the group.
Dotcom is a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand and founded Megaupload Limited. He is also the director and sole shareholder of Vestor Limited, which he allegedly has used to hold ownership interests in affiliated sites.
Six other men were charged. Finn Batato, 38, is a citizen of Germany and is the organization's chief marketing officer. Juilus Bencko, 35, of Slovakia, is the graphic designer. Sven Echternach, 39, of Germany, is head of business development. Mathias Ortmann, 40, also of Germany, is the chief technical officer, co-founder and director. Andrus Nomm, 32, of Estonia, is the software programmer and Bram "Bramos" van der Kolk, 29, of the Netherlands, oversees programming.
New Zealand authorities arrested Dotcom, Batato, Ortmann and van der Kolk in Auckland, New Zealand using provisional arrests warrants requested by the U.S.
Benco, Echternach and Namm remain at large. U.S. law enforcement also executed more than 20 search warrants in the U.S. and eight additional countries, seizing nearly $50 million in assets and targeting Megaupload server sites in Ashburn, Washington, D.C., the Netherlands and Canada. Additionally, 18 domain names associated with the conspiracy were also seized.
According to court documents, prosecutors claim that the conspirators conducted an illegal operation using a company model designed to promote uploading popular copyrighted works for millions to download. The site was set up to automatically delete content that was not regularly downloaded, and offered a rewards program that provided users with financial incentives to risk uploading popular content and driving traffic to the site.
The U.S. Department of Justice released information surrounding the charges on Jan. 19, during a time when two anti-piracy and censorship bills coming to vote in February have been the popular discussion.
Why didn't they go after The Pirate Bay??
Is Stupidvisor joking? If not it's always a good idea to know a little bit about a situation before making yourself look stupid by commenting on it. Sorry if you were being sarcastic, sometimes it's hard to tell on the internet.
the datacenters committed crimes? LOL, hardly. the FBI served warrants, issued by due process. Read the paperwork….pretty damning evidence if its true.
So much for due process. The Federal Government has overstepped its bounds.
The new Republican Board is responsible for allowing these data centers to commit crimes in this County. They should be ashamed of overlooking these crimes occuring under their noses.
These guys should have been smart enough to have lived in a country without extradition. These guys are screwed.
Interesting that this site was actually endorsed by celeberties from both acting and music industries.

SAN DIEGO -- After a miserable start, Chicago Cubs top prospect Javier Baez is starting to produce offensively at the same rate as Kris Bryant.
Baez has a nine-game hitting streak for Triple-A Iowa, compiling a .378 batting average (14-for-37) during that span with six doubles and three home runs. He has raised his batting average to .201.

CARSON, Calif. – For two seasons, São Paulo loanee Juninho quietly made a name for himself in the heart of the Galaxy's midfield. "Juni," however, returned to his native Brazil after his loan deal ran out, leaving a gaping hole in the club's midfield.
Enter Marcelo Sarvas (pictured above, No. 8). The midfielder joined LA after catching the club's eye while playing for Alajuelense in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Exit one Brazilian, enter another. Hole filled, right?
Sort of.
"I know the Juninho's story here is great – he did good things the years he spent here," Sarvas told reporters on Monday after his first Galaxy training session. "But I am not here to replace Juninho. I am here to play my own game. We have different characteristics and I'm hoping to win and make space for myself like Juni did."
In Sarvas, the Galaxy have a player who figures to slide right into a starting midfield spot, likely pairing with David Beckham in the middle of the park. Whatever qualities Juninho offered that helped the Galaxy win the Supporters' Shield two years running and MLS Cup 2011 are not necessarily those Sarvas will try to emulate.
Instead, he will do what he does and hope it will be enough to help the team remain atop the league.
"I have to contribute the best way I know how – to hold the ball, make passes, and create situations so we can score goals," Sarvas said.
A potential Sarvas-Beckham pairing could give the Galaxy some defensive bite as well as offensive punch. Creating chemistry and understanding one another is something that will likely be ironed out in the preseason.
"We haven't played together yet," Sarvas said of Beckham. "I trained with him for the first time today and we have to get to know each other."
Still, Sarvas has more than just an outsider's view on the English superstar. Sarvas was in Alajuelense's lineup for both of the Costa Rican club's Champions League games against the Galaxy and spent his time analyzing and marking Beckham.
"I played twice against the Galaxy," he said. "He makes it easier on you when he has the ball. I think it's preferable to play alongside experienced and quality players like him."
While playing for Alajuelense against LA, Sarvas said he saw a team that was well-organized and did well to impose their tactical style on the match. What he did not necessarily see was a club for whom he would play soon. But when the Galaxy reached out to him, he was more than happy to answer.
"[The] Galaxy is a well-known team, not just here but abroad," he said. "A lot of players have the desire to play with the Galaxy. I did not think that things would work out this well, but it's a great opportunity to have."
Aside from forcing coach Bruce Arena's hand and inserting himself into the starting lineup, Sarvas hopes to make his move complete when he finds a place to live – "I'm like homeless for the moment" – and when wife Camila and four-year-old son Lucas join him in March.
"Everybody is looking forward to the new life," he said.

from washington to washington, voice recognition is a tard
anyway, we've been having a discussion about whether or not i need to accompany him on this trip. ok, i lie. it's pretty much been me saying "i like your mother, do i have to visit your other parental unit?" (i often make an ick face as emphasis on the "other" part as well.)
so i've been hemming and hawing and seeing and sawing. but then i did a search for boutique hotels in d.c. and i found the helix.
oh, i'll go if i can stay at the helix! (fast announcer voice: some restrictions apply. visit with paternal family member not included in stay.)
in other news, leff has voice recognition for google talk at his job.
i was trying to get his computer to say "nin ten do po ta to" because to me, that's humerical. (humourous + hysterical. that means it's ultra funny.) but it didn't work. it kept saying "rak uh says "nin"", etc.
*sigh* voice recognition is a tard.

So if you accompany leff to the DC area, that's only about 4-5 hours north of here ... I used to drive it all the time when my mom lived up there ...
- r4kk4 said...
if you go, i'll *SO* go!
- Lisa B. said...
What weekend is leff gonna go? Because it depends on whether I have a doggie thing that weekend or not.
Also because of huge dental bills I'll probably have to sleep on a blanket in Lafayette Park or something ... I should have kept in touch with all people from high school so I'd have a couch to crash on, huh?
- r4kk4 said...
i'm not sure yet. it's going to be sometime around july or august, i think. we need time to save up for things since we don't like to use credit cards and we're { } this close to paying off the move.
there are "hot dates" at the helix where it costs less than it would on normals days. actually, a lot of the hotels downtown offer that.
alternatly, calvo and stined live there. maybe they have an extra room?
i dunno'. do you happen to know when your agility dates are for the summer yet? we could maybe play around that and the available dates at the helix.
and, no, keeping in touch with people from high school is *totally* not worth it just for a couch to sleep on. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
- Lisa B. said...
Summer is good ... I hvce a flyball tournament in Philly 3rd weekend of july but that's it between memorial and labor day (too hot for outdoor dog stuff!).

WASHINGTON - Projecting a united front, President Obama and South Korea's new leader warned North Korea on Tuesday against further nuclear provocations, with Obama declaring that the days when Pyongyang could "create a crisis and elicit concessions" were over.
Obama also disputed the notion that his cautious response to reported chemical weapons use in Syria - a move he had said would cross a "red line" - could embolden North Korea's unpredictable young leader and other U.S. foes.
"Whether it's bin Laden or Gadhafi, if we say we're taking a position, I would think at this point the international community has a pretty good sense that we typically follow through on our commitments," Obama said, referring to the al-Qaida commander Osama bin Laden and former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, both of whom were killed during Obama's watch.
Tuesday's meetings between Obama and South Korean President Park Geun-hye followed months of increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea conducted an underground atomic test in February and had appeared ready for another.
New U.S. intelligence assessments also showed for the first time that North Korea may have the know-how to launch a nuclear-armed missile, though American officials say Pyongyang still appears to lack the capability to carry out an attack.
Ahead of Tuesday's talks, the North appeared to send mixed messages. U.S. officials said Pyongyang removed from a launch pad a set of medium-range ballistic missiles that had been readied for possible test-firing. But North Korea also warned the U.S. and South Korea that it would retaliate if joint military exercise between the two allies resulted in any shells landing on its territory.
Speaking at a joint news conference at the White House, Obama and Park warned Pyongyang of unspecified consequences if it pressed ahead with provocative actions, with Obama vowing to protect the U.S. and its allies using both "conventional and nuclear forces."
"Should North Korea choose the path to becoming a responsible member of the community of nations, we are willing to provide assistance, together with the international community," Park said.
Analysts see some of North Korea's recent bluster as an attempt by the country's new leader, Kim Jong Un, to establish himself as a power player, both within his own country and in the international community.
Obama said he knew little about Kim personally and has never spoken to him, but added that his actions were leading him down a dead end.
"There's going to have to be changes in behavior," Obama said. "We have an expression in English, 'Don't worry about what I say, just watch what I do.' "
North Korea ratcheted up its provocations this year after the U.N. Security Council tightened sanctions in response to the February nuclear test, its third since 2006.

The chair of the West Dunbartonshire epilepsy support group was left so shocked after being chosen to carry the Queen's Baton ahead of this summer's Commonwealth Games that he had a seizure when he heard the news.
Members of the group nominated Brian Rocks for the honour due to his tireless campaigning to make people more aware of the condition and how it affects those diagnosed with it.
The Lennox Herald reported last month how moves made by Brian to get football clubs involved by carrying articles on their websites or in match programmes had taken large strides forward with several senior clubs throwing their weight behind the campaign.
And, since then, Brian's efforts have been recognised in the Houses of Parliament and in Holyrood.
Brian said: "Gil Paterson MSP took my campaign to the Scottish Parliament, which has been supported by MSPs there, and David Cameron mentioned my campaign in Parliament last week saying how there needs to be better awareness of the condition.
"Because of that, I am on cloud nine. I am standing here shaking. I can't believe it. I want to do as much as I can to educate people about epilepsy."
Brian told us how he thought someone was pulling his leg when he first found out he was to be a baton bearer ahead of Glasgow 2014.
He said: "The group nominated me and, last Tuesday, I got a call to say I had been chosen as one of the baton bearers for this year's Commonwealth Games. With the excitement, I took a seizure while on the phone.
"I thought somebody might be playing a practical joke on me. I am absolutely delighted and am really looking forward to it."
Following the closure of the Carman Centre in Renton, the West Dunbartonshire epilepsy support group will now meet in the John Connolly Centre. Its first meeting will be held on April 17.
Meanwhile 38-year-old Paul Lucas, from Bonhill, has also been selected to carry the Queen's Baton this summer.
The operations manager at Braehead shopping mall will also be in charge of radio communications as the baton makes its three-day journey through Glasgow between July 20 and 22.
He is controller of the Raynet emergency radio network group and will be handling communications between 30 volunteers lining the route the baton will take, event organisers, Glasgow Life and the police, fire and ambulance emergency services.
Paul was chosen as a baton bearer in recognition of his voluntary work with Raynet and the Red Cross.
He said: "It's a great honour for me and I'm very proud not only to be asked to carry the Queen's Baton, but also of the work the dedicated team of Raynet radio volunteers will be doing.
"I suppose you could say I'm swapping one relay for another. One day I'll be carrying the Queen's Baton in the relay that has taken it around the world and a couple of days later I'll be relaying vital messages over the radio from a mobile control unit.
"The Raynet team will play a crucial part in the smooth running of the event taking the Queen's Baton through Glasgow."

Gluten free shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate!
How to Make Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies
My Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies are an adaptation from a Mary Berry recipe for Viennese Whirls, they are a classic British cookie that is really a sandwich of two soft shortbread type cookies with buttercream and jam filling in the middle, they are in my humble opinion, cookie perfection!
Mary Berry is a well-known British TV cook, she was one of the judges on the 'Great British Bake Off' which aired on PBS last year.
Her baking recipes are legendary back home and although they are not gluten free that hasn't stopped me buying some of her books and converting the recipes to gluten free for my family.
For this recipe, the shortbread cookies are made with powdered sugar and all starch flours which gives them a really lovely soft, melt in your mouth texture. I've found that they do not keep well so I prefer to make them on the day that I plan to serve them.
In my house, there are usually sticky little fingers scrambling for them before the chocolate has had a chance to dry, so not many cookies make it to the next day!
Baking with gluten free flour
I always make my own gluten free all purpose flour for baking as it's cheaper and I get better results than I've had with most of the ready mixed flours.
Any high starch flour mix should work, I would avoid using a flour mix that has the gum already added, it's better to measure it out yourself.
As always I use a digital kitchen scale to weigh my ingredients, I find I get consistent results that way and rarely have a baking recipe fail. If you find you struggle with gluten free baking then I highly recommend buying a kitchen scale and weighing your ingredients.
I try to post easy recipes here that everyone can make, and this one is no exception. It's also free from the top eight allergens so would be a great treat to make for someone you know with dairy, gluten, nut or egg allergies or intolerances.
It's a perfect recipe to make with your kids, I baked some with my ten year old son today, he really enjoyed making and eating them!
There were a few casualties as we dipped the cookies into the chocolate, they are pretty soft and can break if you don't handle them carefully, but nothing was wasted and he happily gobbled up the chocolate covered breakages.

Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies
Delicate and tasty gluten free shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate!
- 1/2 cup dairy free margarine, or butter 110g
- 3/4 cup all purpose gluten free flour 110g
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar 30g
- 1/4 tsp gluten free baking powder
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 2 oz chocolate 50g, I used dairy free chocolate chips
preheat your oven to 350f
line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and then add a large star tip (such as a 1M) to a piping bag.
add the margarine and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until combined.
add in the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum and mix well.
Add the mix to the piping bag and pipe out three inch long fingers onto your lined baking sheet, spaced well apart.
bake for ten to fifteen minutes until a pale golden color. Keep a close watch on them as they can go from cooked to burned in only a minute or two!
Let them cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
The cookies are very soft and fragile, so be careful not to break them!
melt your chocolate either in the microwave or in a bowl over a pan of hot water.
dip both ends of the cookie in the melted chocolate and leave to set on the wire rack.
Recipe Notes
1.You will need a baking sheet, and a piping bag with a large star tip. I used a Wilton 1M tip.
2. I have used a mix of 75% white rice flour and 25% arrowroot sometimes (because that's what I had in my pantry) with good results, but really any AP flour blend should work.
3. I bake by weight as I find that gives the most consistent results, especially when baking gluten free. One cup of your gluten free flour blend may not weigh the same as my blend regardless of how you scoop it. All the commercially available blends have different mixes and ratios of flour in them. I've weighed cups of different blends of flour and noted that a cup of gluten free flour can vary in weight from 125g up to as much as 170g depending on how you scoop it, and what type of mix you use. You can see how this could drastically alter the outcome of a recipe.
4. I recognise that most Americans are used to the cup method which is why I also include those measurements,but they may not give you the most accurate results. If you are a keen gluten free baker I would encourage you to invest in a scale, you can get one for only $10 - $15.
5.I prefer to use my own homemade gluten free flour blend as it's cheaper and I get really great results.
6. If you can, avoid buying flour with gums already added. The reason for this is that you have no way of knowing how much gum is in there and that can alter the outcome of the recipe. So for example, too much gum can give you a more sticky texture in a cupcake. And though the cupcake recipe will still work, it won't be as nice as if you measured and added the gum yourself.

Should Sharon Toss Her Bouquet Like THIS? [POLL]
I'm all for having fun at my upcoming wedding to Chad. We want to have a quick ceremony, maybe a half hour of pictures and then dig right into the food! Hey, we like to eat...
But there are traditions that have to be dealt with: the cake cutting, first dance and, to some men and women, the tossing of the bridal bouquet and garter.
Having been to many a wedding, I have never caught a bouquet. I've been trying to think of something creative to do to make it different but I will definitely NOT go this far!

YOUNGSTOWN, OH — Republican nominee Donald Trump gave a speech in Ohio earlier this week focused on immigration and terrorism. In it he detailed how he would overhaul the entry procedures for foreigners entering the United States. This is one of those times where we have to turn a critical eye to the things he says—not because we oppose him, but because even as the best choice he can still be wrong. Trump is a means and nowhere near the end.
To be fair, there were some very good things in this speech. For starters, he linked the Islamic terror attacks in the United States and Europe over the last two years, including Brussels, Nice, Orlando, Paris, and Rouen. This is important because it signals our civilizational solidarity with Europe against the Islamic threat and we want this paradigm adopted. And crucially, he pointed out that not only Muslim immigrants but their children can cause problems.
Trump repeated his usual line about having to be able to identify the enemy in order to fight him, something so simple yet so deliberately dropped by our current leaders, dubbed "Obama-Clinton." But on immigration restrictions and how he plans to go about it, Trump is a mixed bag and we should acknowledge this. See the transcript for the more details, but here are the key Trumpist immigration policies:
- implementing an "ideological screening test" that modernizes the criteria we used during the Cold War, specifically rejecting admission for those "who believe that Sharia law should supplant American law" and "those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred."
- temporarily suspending visa processing for "some of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting terrorism,"
- empowering federal officers to root out "Radical Islam" support networks in the United States and deport "guests in our country that are preaching hate "
- encouraging assimilation to American culture by "promot[ing] the exceptional virtues of our own way of life – and expecting that newcomers to our society do the same"
The test as a practical measure is pointless. Muslims can just taqiyya their way through it. It also opens up some weird angles for narrative collision for both camps. Trump himself and his supporters are widely considered to "support bigotry and hatred" by the left, so he'd be banned under his own rules from entering the United States were his enemies in power (and they very well could be after he serves one or two terms). On the other hand, since the left widely opposes banning the Muslims who this rule is supposed to cover, they are in the awkward position of having to say they support Muslims "who support bigotry and hatred" gaining entry to the United States. By any objective definition, Muslim societies do not meet secular liberal standards of tolerance and equality, but third worldism means they have to be let in.
So the ideological tests will cause a signaling firestorm, but in practice are not helpful. If you know you have to say I love freedom, LGBT people, and the Constitution to get into the country, I imagine you will. As for letting in "only those who we expect to flourish in our country – and to embrace a tolerant American society," this could mean anything from Swedes to Christian mestizos to Asian tech workers. In other words, it's still the "Muslim ban," but it won't keep anything else out.
Score: D. Completely useless as it is circumventable and only avoids being an F because it will cause cognitive dissonance on the left, which is fun to watch at least.
Refusing to process visas from countries with terrorism problems is a great idea. Initially many of us thought this was a way of not using the term "Muslim," since that has bad optics when trying to court moderates—but now he's gone ahead and said we have to ban "Radical Islam" anyway. In any event, banning terrorism exporters means banning immigration from the entire Muslim world more or less, as most of these countries have experienced a terror attack in the last 5 years. It also lets us target non-Muslim countries which have large Muslim minorities and terrorism issues, such as France and Belgium, which are demographically-speaking on track to joining Africa and leaving Europe if nothing changes. The biggest problem with this proposal is that he calls it temporary—it should be permanent. In practice it very well could be permanent, since kebabs are gonna kebab, and the president has legal authority to ban any class of foreigners from entering the country at his personal discretion, without any approval from Congress or the Sanhedrin. But it could also be limited to 4-8 years, since like the ideological screening proposal, it only works as long as nationalists control the government.
Score: B. Very good idea but unless it is institutionalized it could end with Trump.
The federal inquisition against "Radical Islam" is an unequivocally good move. These people have to go back and the government needs the power to do it. Some of these kebabs we have, the authorities don't even know where they are. We don't have as many public events as we used to. Barack says unprotected immigration had nothing to do with it but I don't agree. All joking aside, there is no reason to have any tolerance for violent foreigners. Or their offspring. There is nothing they add to our society that is worth this. Every kebab imported or born here makes this country less White and more at risk of Islamic terror attacks. This was a non-issue prior to 1965, Islamic terrorism and the expansion of anti-Western Islamic ideology in our own borders. You can thank the (((Hart-Celler Act))) for the San Bernardino and Orlando shootings. The perpetrators were post-'65 immigrants or their spawn. And held to the standard of secular liberalism and religious ecumenicism, almost all forms of Islam are "Radical Islam." Maybe the Ahmadiyya sect will slip through, but they're the Episcopalians of the Muslim world anyway.
Score: A. I would not do anything different. In fact, I would expand it to include naturalized and anchor-born Muslims as well.
Championing assimilation of immigrants and their children to American values and culture, as opposed to the unmentioned but implied multicultural approach that de-emphasizes American unity, is something that sounds like a good idea in a sane world. Alas, ours is not a sane world. For example, if 90-100% of immigrants were Europeans moving to a majority-European society where the majority of children were European and the population overwhelmingly spoke one language, it would not be impossible to forge them into Amerikaners over a generation or two. But we don't live in that society. We live in an America that is facing a rising tide of color. We live in an America where most immigrants and most children are non-Europeans. Who is being assimilated to what exactly? We want the Weimerica Shopping Center shut down, not expanded. What this will result in is an amorphous mocha biomass of mystery-meat people who speak English and think voting and gibsmedats are neat. No thanks.
Score: F. I have to fail him on this; we don't want to become a monocultural but multiracial/multi-ethnic society, let alone a far-left one. Not only would it not work, but attempts to do so would create an vastly inferior level of civilization than we have now. We are nationalists, not brazilianists.
Trump is still the best option on the ballot, even when he falls short. (If I had to grade Clinton I would probably give her an F on everything). But there is potential for "the next Trump" to offer something better if Trump wins in November and moves the Overton window further right. For example, an Immigration Act of 2025 could cancel the 1965 law, and revive the quotas of 1921 and 1924 so that immigration from outside Europe is slashed to almost nothing. Ideally of course, we want an ethnostate, where there would be no debate on banning immigration from the third world, full stop. But the Leviathan on the Potomac isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Nexus Legal Cash, the Lawsuit Funding Company, Expects Protracted Litigation In Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits
Delays likely to push back settlements for transvaginal mesh victims. Nexus Legal Cash stands ready to assist those in need of lawsuit funding and surgical funding.
Apr 07, 2014, 05:00 ET from Nexus Legal Cash
YONKERS, N.Y., April 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexus Legal Cash, The Lawsuit Funding Company, reports that over 40,000 transvaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed in federal court involving vaginal mesh pelvic repair systems manufactured by multiple medical device companies. While some claims have been settled, a staggering 3,000 Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits a month are still being filed. All told, the total number is estimated to top 100,000 claimants. The four top vaginal manufactures in litigation are: Johnson & Johnson Inc., Ethicon Inc.; Boston Scientific Corp.; American Medical Systems Inc., AMS; and C.R. Bard Inc.
Transvaginal mesh has proven itself to be more harm than good. Of the thousands that have been implanted with with the mesh, an inordinate amount have succumbed to complications arising directly and indirectly form the devices. Some suffer protrusion through the vaginal wall and through the skin. Others suffer from erosion and disintegration of the device. Other risks that have been linked to the defective transvaginal devices include, but are certainly not limited to the following: pelvic pain, infection, bleeding, urinary leakage, pain during sexual intercourse, recurrence of prolapse, organ perforation, poisoning, diminished capacity for activities of daily life.
"The scope and size of this litigation is enormous and has begun winding its way through the courts," noted Nexus Legal Cash President & CEO, Karl A. Minner. "We believe, that the sheer complexity of the litigation and the legal maneuvering will push back actual payment of funds until late in 2014 or 2015."
Regardless of the delays and uncertainty, Nexus Legal Cash continues to be a leader in providing pre-settlement funding to women in need that have filed a claim.

Renita Jablonski: It's no secret times are tough for Detroit.
Fewer people are buying new cars, and it's not just about oil. A new study says a million fewer cars are expected to be sold this year. Jill Barshay has more.
Jill Barshay: Thanks to soaring commodity prices, it costs automakers $750 more to produce a car this year. That's according to AlixPartners, a Detroit consulting firm.
John Hoffecker is a managing director:
John Hoffecker: The precious metals which go into the exhaust system to make sure that you have clean air, those prices have doubled in the last year. Steel has doubled in the last five months.
Hoffecker says automakers can no longer absorb these costs or force suppliers to shoulder them. That's spurring them to rethink how they make cars.
Hoffecker: They're looking at very creative ways, in fact, to use less material in a vehicle.
Or substitute carbon fiber for metal -- just like the tennis racket industry did years ago.
I'm Jill Barshay for Marketplace.

text: Something new for me. When i first looked at some seasonings i was going to order, i passed this one up a few times while going over the list from Curley's. However when i was ready to submit my order i added a 25 pound batch mix to the order. Glad i did. Didn't expect the sausage to be too spicy [and it wasn't] [not for me anyway] but it did pack some heat. The seasoning bag say's "chilli dog" mix but dogs mean sheep casings and i'm alergic to them LOL. I make most links brat size anyway so hog casings for me. Here is what i used: one pack of Curley's chille dog seasoning [enough for 25 pounds] 6 cups of cold water 2 heaping T of diced garlic [from the jar] 5 cups of powdered dry milk powder 1 oz cure #1 [comes with the seasoning] 10 pounds venison 15 pounds pork butt Still too cold for the smoker so in the oven the links went on jerky racks at 225 until internal of 150. I've never seen so many days below zero here. I did manage one day at 10 above to do some canadian bacon. Anyway here are some pics:

The first book I read about storytelling was by David Armstrong, then vice president of Armstrong International. I was skeptical at first, but got caught up in the stories. As I got more into patterns, I found that in trying to tell readers about my context, problems, forces, solutions, and resulting context, I was simply trying to tell a good story. Over time, I learned that the better the story, the more useful the pattern. I still believe this 20 years later. The following article is not only about storytelling, but it tells its own good tale. So, sit back and enjoy!

PB Lawrence Stakes Day 2015 runs at Melbourne's Caulfield Racecourse today, Saturday August 15, and features a host of black-type races attracting some promising spring talent.
It is a cool winter day at the track with cloudy conditions and a top of only 15 degrees, and with no chance of rain the current Good (4) rating is set to stay and suit gallopers with nice firm track form.
Caulfield Track Report – 15/08/2015
- Rail: +3m Entire
- Weather: Overcast
- Track Type: Turf
- Irrigation: Nil
- Rainfall: 1.5mm last 24hrs, 4.2mm last 7 days
- Penetrometer: 5.15
- Track Rating: Good (4)
Racing kicks off today with a number of decent staying types including a Chris Waller-trained trio at 12:20pm (AEST) in the $90,000 ANZAC Handicap (2000m) and continues through until the last – Race 9 (5:15pm) with only 10 of the original 15 left to contest the $50,000 Australian Defence Force Handicap (1800m).
See below for the day's full line-up, headlined by the $200,000 Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) at 4:00pm (AEST) where Smokin' Joey ($3.60) is the favourite at Ladbrokes.com.au, and the 14 current scratchings that have come out of the card.
Then visit Ladbrokes to get behind your early Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival selections, enjoying a Bonus Bet if your first Fixed Odds Win bet runs 2nd or 3rd in the PB Lawrence this afternoon!
Caulfield Scratchings – 15/08/2015
Total Scratchings: 14
Race 1 (12:20pm) – $90,000 ANZAC Handicap (2000m)
No current scratchings
All nine original acceptors are still in the mix here with one of Waller's trio, Diametric, the current $2.80 favourite after getting a gun barrier two draw for jockey Damien Oliver. The seven-year-old comes off a third over 2040m at Moonee Valley from the start of the month and the two weeks between runs looks ideal.
Race 2 (12:55pm) – $90,000 Legacy 2015 Badge Appeal Handicap (1600m)
#4 Count Of Limonade (9)
Just the one comes out of this mile handicap where the red hot favourite is Iggimacool ($2.25) who Craig Williams in place of apprentice Thomas Sadler. The mare comes off a narrow second over 1200m at the track from July 25 with 58kg, and she'll appreciate the drop back to 54kg here and has winning form up to 2100m so the step up in distance shouldn't worry either. Big market mover though is Onpicalo ($7 into $3.60).
Race 3 (1:30pm) – $80,000 RSL Ramlegh Springs the Heart of Clyde Handicap (1600m)
#5 It's One (6)

The one with unfavorable associations, sort number 1, provides hackers that individuals occasionally have dreams about - hackers with negative motives. These kind of hackers may potentially be really harmful since their objective would be to crack into individual or corporate systems and change (often monetary) information, grab private information (identitytheft), split protection rules and sometimes even crack into extremely protected governmental programs. For personal customers, probably the most harmful is taking private information, for example protection rules and charge card numbers.
This may be completed by implanting a disease or worm into someoneis program, but additionally by immediate coughing (entering) into someoneis computer. By undertaking that, hackers have use of all of your individual and personal information that you save on your PC, but additionally that your computer preserves itself (background of searching, accounts, etc.). We don't need to let you know what goes on if your hacker discovers its own signal and your charge card numbers -ostensibly his celebration starts. We're not stating that purchasing online is hardly safe and you ought to not get it done, what we're saying is the fact that regardless of of what, you've to possess your PC well-protected. Where we are able to assist you which is. You've to become conscious of possible risk that lots of websites include infections or viruses that may damage your PC, and if you begin searching. Consequently, we usually suggest regular maintenance of the computer.
Possibly, and sort number 2 hackers on the planet of hacking's more fascinating kind, is visible as 'goodfellas'. They frequently observe coughing like a type of a chance and artwork whilst not harming computers to display their capabilities. Hackers of the kind that display excessively higher level of knowledge of this type frequently result in governmental organizations or large businesses focusing on precisely the job that is reverse - finding 'openings' within the system. There are several success reports of youthful heads who simply played around and coughing systems or even the Government that wound up employed by them.
So when we are saying young heads, we suggest they're actually small. We've to acknowledge that there's much to appreciate if your 13 or 14-year old teen breaks into Pentagon's program. In this instance, there have been possibly no motives that are negative; it had been only of revealing for their friends an issue. There's without doubt that they're captured, nevertheless their existence typically takes another change at that time as well as present and their understanding are accustomed to guard, in the place of ruin.
We are able to obviously observe that not all coughing is aimed towards benefiting from oneis computer after splitting coughing into both of these teams. Actually out-of all hackers tiny proportion is harmful. This is actually the team we combat by guarding your computers of course if late, recovering information washing computers, and sometimes even fixing harm. This kind of hackers may cause lots of harm and issues while proceeding towards their objective, and so, the safety of your PC usually must be-at its greatest. Search properly till our next post

My advice to you is to find someone in this life who makes it feel like a party.
If you can fall asleep each night feeling like you are having a slumber party with your best friend, you are lucky.
Last night Stephen and I made a poem before bed, alternating one word at a time.
Here is our collaboration:
Hugs are laughter from arms.
When two arms slide into the embrace, giggles commence.
Hugs beget love.
Love begets laughter.
The moral is hug often.

DF says you don't contribute!
Okay so I had an argument the other night with my df. Before we met I was a single mom of a 8 month old and a 3 1/2 year old girls. The reason I was single was I lost my husband to a car accident while I was 5 months pregnant and had a 2 year old. So I received survivors social security for me and my two girls. I have also always been a stay at home mom since my first daughter was born. So he knew this when we first met that I was a stay at home mom. Well he started a new job about a year ago and it caused us to move 2,450 miles away from home and family. His work pays for our $2000 a month rent since we are out of state and he makes around $8000 a month. I also get SS so we are not hurting for money. All we have is a car note, insurance, cell phone, cable bill, and food to pay for. But he wanted to tell me that I don't help contribute but yet I pay for the car note, cell phone, and insurance, and cable bill (for his mother since its at our house in the other state. I couldnt shut it off since we are in contract and its only $100 a month) and every now and then I might ask him to help pay the car insurance or cell phone bill. Not to mention I also cook, clean, and take care of the kids but yet im not contributing!! How should I approach him about this. Everytime I want to talk about something he doesnt because he doesnt like to argue. I feel like im not being appreciated :(

[2]Love, ugh. If there's a more overused theme in fiction than love, then I haven't discovered it. Most novels focus on new love, that all-consuming stage at the beginning of a relationship when colors seem brighter, food more flavorful and the world full of boundless possibility. The main characters get together, lose each other, find each other, and then decamp to live in an idyllic state called happily-ever-after, which is always located just beyond the book's final page.
Hanif Kureishi writes about love, too, only his novels pick up where others leave off. He waits until after the fireworks are over, and writes about what comes next. His work grapples with the real stuff of commitment: compromise, tolerance, effort, and dissatisfaction—all qualities of a real-world relationship, but nothing that you'll ever hear mentioned in ads for Valentine's Day.
Intimacy [2], one of Kureishi's early works, is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of book, gone almost as soon as it begins. Weighing in at just over 100 pages, it tells of a middle-aged man's evening at home with his wife and two young sons. Everything proceeds normally, domestic rituals are dutifully followed, and from appearances, there would seem to be nothing to distinguish this evening from any other. But this night is different, because in the morning, when the sun is just warming the earth, this man will rise from bed, take his suitcase and leave his family forever.
Intimacy is written as an internal monologue that the man is having with himself as he lives his last day at home. Although his plan is premeditated, his personal history intrudes, and through a series of flashbacks, the reader is given access to many past scenes from the man's life. We also watch how he struggles to maintain his resolve, as he struggles with his doubts and very nearly decides to scrap the whole plan.
Kureishi's main character offers us no catharsis, no epiphanies: everything he is (and everything he'll become) depends upon a single choice that he will make in the morning. Nothing happens in Intimacy, but something will happen. And the weight of that anticipation, that all-important manner in which Kureishi holds that crucial moment suspended, make Intimacy a short but important read.

[1]Who wouldn't like a piece of a juicy double-digit yield?
Of course, the issue you come across in dividend stocks with big yields is that they often also have some big risks associated with them. High volatility and murky growth prospects are two common tradeoffs for high-yield stocks.
So, I decided to see if I could wade through the prospects and find an enormous dividend that might be worth the risk. A couple mega-yielders I've examined are junkers and to be avoided, but I've also come across a couple real investment possibilities.
[3]Dividend Yield: 18.5%
Whiting USA Trust II (NYSE:WHZ[4]) is a royalty trust associated with the company Whiting Petroleum (NYSE:WLL[5]).
Royalty trusts pay royalties on the energy sources that are drawn from the ground. The underlying value of the trust, however, declines over time because those resources eventually deplete. You also have to factor in how oil and gas prices affect the trust, since falling prices are obviously bad.
… actually, I'm going to stop right there.
I don't care if the trust is yielding in the high-teens if depleting assets and commodity volatility could kill me.
[6]Distribution Yield: 20%
PetroLogistics (NYSE:PDH[7]) is a master limited partnership that owns and operates propane dehydrogenation facilities. (For us chemistry geeks, that means it converts propane into propylene.)
The chemical is a starting product for chemical reactions — a raw material used for things like films, packaging and caps. Profit depends on the spread between the commodity pricing between propane and propylene.
Personally, I don't like being tied to commodities like this. But if you're willing to ratchet down your holdings in commodity baskets (in a diversified portfolio), and replace it with this company, then PetroLogistics might be worth the risk. The company's last distribution of 67 cents annualizes out to a whopping 20% yield.
Just remember that PDH falls into the speculative category of investments.
[8]Dividend Yield: 14%
Portugal Telecom (NYSE:PT[9]) would scare me off if the company only handled telecommunications in Portugal. Luckily, it provides all kinds of infrastructure and communications services in emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and most notably, booming Brazil, so the stock has lots of potential.
However, I'm not sure the 14% dividend is sustainable.
Last year, the company generated net income of $304 million, and free cash flow of only $75 million — but paid out $847 million in dividends. That was down from $1.56 billion in 2011 and $1.94 billion in 2010. The company has $4 billion of cash on hand, but this is a capex-intensive business.
Sorry, but if the dividends are falling, not rising, I'm staying away.
[10]Dividend Yield: 17.5%
Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (NYSE:WMC[11]) is an mREIT, meaning it invests in residential mortgage-backed securities for which principal and interest payments are guaranteed by the government. So I like that Uncle Sam is on the hook here.
The way mREITs make their money is via arbitrage, so they borrow money at a lower rate than their portfolio yields. As long as interest rates remain low — and that will be the case for a long time — that arbitrate should hold firm. They carry more leverage than I'd ideally like, but then again, they're paying 17.5% dividend to offset that risk.
I think this is also worth looking at but, again, only as the speculative part of a diversified portfolio.

Not many days back there was a confirmed news that Rajkumar Yadav will not be featuring in NH10 and there were strong rumours that Anushka Sharma who is also the producer of the movie decided to kick him out.. Raj Kumar Yadav has surely moved on from that saga and is said to have begged the remake of Bimal Roy's classic Do Bigha Zameen, titled City Lights to be produced by Bhatts and Fox Star Studios.
While the latest talk is that Raj Kumar himself opted out of the Anushka Sharma starrer due to date issues, the actor seems to have had no problem in striking a deal for this Hansal Mehta directorial. Raj Kumar will be playing the role of Balraj Sahni from the original.
The film has also been surrounded by a lot of controversies after director Ajay Bahl walked out of it. Initially, Ajay who had earlier directed B A Pass was roped in by the Bhatts for this venture but he backed out citing creative differences. Now, Hansal Mehta has been brought in to direct this movie.
However, after much shuffling, the director and the lead actor are all in place to kick start shooting as early as early next week.

NOT getting enough shut-eye could be seriously damaging your health.
Despite the possibly sleep-inducing qualities of this column, you may still find it difficult to get a good night's kip.
Personally, I feel like an alien being if I lose a few hours' sleep.
But yet another disturbing report suggests that too many of us are yawning away our working days for lack of a proper night's sleep.
Britain is apparently near the top of an international league table for sleep deprivation, with an estimated third of us not getting enough kip.
And there is more at risk than the occasional yawn while sitting in front of a computer.
A lack of sleep is a risk factor for serious health problems, such as stroke and heart disease.
The Bible says that "the sleep of a labouring man is sweet," but too many of us are putting our health at risk by not switching off under our duvets.
Experts reckon that the best guarantee of good quality shut-eye is to work five days a week and sleep seven to eight hours a night.
But a study of more than 38,700 staff working for companies such as telecoms giant O2 suggests a third of those questioned were not getting enough sleep.
While experts say that most of us should ideally enjoy between seven and eight hours sleep a night, only 38.5 per cent of those questioned did so.
Most got by on between five and seven hours sleep at night, while 5.4 per cent of those in the survey existed on less than five hours.
Granted, there are some people whose body clocks mean they can operate on far less than the standard sleep quota – Margaret Thatcher being a famous example while she was PM – but most of us simply need a good night's kip.
Those prone to bad sleep patterns include smokers, those who suffer from migraines or high blood pressure and people who take little exercise.
The study by Vielife, which carried out the major sleep survey between 2009 and 2011, found that people who drank scored higher for a good night's kip than teetotallers.
Researchers also uncovered a very close relationship between depression and poor sleep. So what's to be done to boost our sleep levels?
Cutting out TV and computers just before hitting the sack is advised, plus reading a book and making sure your bedroom is dark and quiet also helps.
But there are almost as many tips and quotations about sleep as there are stars in the sky.
An old Irish proverb states that a good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.
But don't try laughing yourself to sleep tonight – you may wake up the rest of the house.

GATESVILLE — A capital murder indictment continues to stand on a former pastor, who is suspected of killing his wife in a March 2011 trailer fire.
A Coryell County grand jury reissued the capital murder indictment for David Keith Allen, 51, earlier this week after the case was investigated by District Attorney Dusty Boyd's office.
Allen is suspected of killing his wife, Paula Allen. He was previously indicted in January 2012 and capital murder charge based on alleged evidence stemming from a fire investigation.
Boyd's office began to reinvestigate the case after he took office this year.
"The new indictment reflects the result of that investigation," he said. "It is not two charges, just one. It is the same incident, and the same crime with the same individuals."
Allen, the former pastor of New Life Church of Restoration near Gatesville, is being held in Coryell County Jail on a $700,000 bail.
He has been in jail since January 2012.
The sheriff's office and the state fire marshal's office investigated the fire in connection with the death of Paula Allen. Their investigation led to David Allen's original indictment.
Boyd couldn't comment on what evidence changed for the new indictment.
At the time of David Allen's arrest, Coryell County Sheriff's Deputy Joe Blakley wouldn't release details about the case, but said the blaze "had to be ruled arson or the grand jury couldn't have gotten the capital murder charge."
According to previous reports, David Allen called 911 when he discovered his home ablaze on church property during the March 2011 incident.
Allen told firefighters arriving on scene he attempted to enter the home to save his wife but was overcome by smoke and flames. Firefighters checked the bedroom, where Allen said she should be, but they did not find her.
Paula Allen was later found less than a foot from the front door under a portion of the collapsed roof.
The state fire marshal's report alleged that an accelerant was used to start the blaze in the living room.

Elko Concerts Presents
Jordin Sparks
Kate Voegele
The Palace Theatre (pa)
21 West Otterman Street
Greensburg, PA, 15601
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 7:00 PM
This event is all ages
On the heels of becoming the youngest American Idol winner, Jordin released her self-titled debut album in November 2007 on 19 Recordings/Jive Records, and the critically-acclaimed Jordin Sparks went on to sell over 1.6 million copies worldwide, earning U.S. platinum status, and spawning three Top 5 hits on Billboard's Pop singles chart including: "Tattoo," "No Air," and "One Step At A Time." Cumulatively, these popular singles have sold almost 9 million downloads/ringtones.
In a year of winning America's biggest singing competition, completing a series of national and international tours, Jordin Sparks received further recognition as a talented singer in her own right: in addition to winning an American Music Award for Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist and receiving two MTV Video Music Award nominations for Best Female Video and Best New Artist; she earned one of the music industry's highest honors with a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for "No Air" in 2008. "I will sing that song ["No Air"] for the rest of my life," Sparks notes. "It took my breath away the first time I heard it. It can be applied to so many situations. I've heard stories from wives whose husbands are away at war, people going through break-ups or who have lost someone. I always wanted to touch just one person through my music, so this is such a cool thing."
Another high mark for the singer came in April 2008, when she toured with Alicia Keys in the U.S., and again in New Zealand in December. "Listening to 'The Diary of Alicia Keys' inspired me, because I wrote a lot of poetry, and realized that it can become music, a song," Sparks says. "She told me, 'I consider myself a big sister, and I want to thank you,' and I said, 'You're thanking me?!" Next came a co-headlining stateside outing with Jesse McCartney. "Here's this heart-throb, which was a totally different experience. The crowds were smaller, more intimate—which gave me a new way to connect."
Sparks recently completed her stint as the opening act on the Jonas Brothers North American leg of their 52-date tour, which was sponsored by Mike and Ike candies and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation which is helping to raise funds for children with cancer. The partnership was especially important to her as she has unfortunately had many people close to her in her life diagnosed with cancer. This past September Sparks also opened for "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" North American Tour.
Kate Voegele
You could say Kate Voegele is an overachiever. At 22 years old, the Cleveland, Ohio native has spent the better part of the last two years juggling life as a full-time singer-songwriter, part-time actress and a college student, rarely pausing to take a breath. "Multi-tasking has always been my thing," she says. "For my first album, I somehow scheduled my classes around recording sessions, and still got a 4.0 grade point average. Then I took a break from school and went on the road, but halfway through, I got offered One Tree Hill completely unexpectedly. That was when life got ridiculous."
Ridiculous in the sense that Voegele went from being a complete unknown to a TV star, and from a girl writing songs in her dorm room to a bonafide recording artist with legions of loyal fans, all in less than a year. Voegele is still pinching herself just to make sure it's really happening. "Sometimes I look around and wonder what I've done to deserve all this," she says with a laugh.
It was by virtue of her talent, vivacious personality and sheer determination that Voegele scored the tie-in of a lifetime: playing the spunky Mia on popular teen drama One Tree Hill, but performing her own music. Thanks to that confluence of events, her MySpace Records debut, Don't Look Away, sold close to a quarter million copies, climbed to No. 4 on the iTunes chart and sent Voegele upstream to Interscope (which has a distribution partnership with MySpace). Now Voegele is seeing her musical wish list come true with A Fine Mess, her second serving of undeniable pop-rock charm, produced by Mike Elizondo (Maroon 5, Fiona Apple) .

It never fails. The blank and rather stunned look on people's faces when I say, "As a matter of fact, we do have snowmaking at Alyeska."
The fact we live along one of the most beautiful stretches of open water, located in the northern-most coastal temperate rain forest does not register for most who live outside the last frontier, no matter how well-traveled. Although there are cold spells and of course, our winter is a bit longer than most, the fact that Southcentral Alaska can be relatively mild and completely lush year-round always comes as a shock.
Luckily for those of us who spend Alaska winters sliding around on one and two planks, Mother Nature tends to be generous in her distribution of fresh powder to our neck of the woods. And when she gets temperamental, well. . . that's when you roll out the guns.
Snowmaking is like insurance. It guarantees a fantastic start to winter no matter what Mother Nature has up her sleeve. Alaska is a state of extremes and Alyeska starts at sea level and quickly rises close to 4,000 ft. That leaves a lot of vertical terrain to cover! So, although the top of chair six is sitting pretty right now, ensconced in all this new snow, it's good to know a snow gun can work its magic overnight and winter is right around the corner.
Opening day is November 24th at 10:30 am. See you soon.
