Ice skating rinks also affected by NHL lockouts
Dallas, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Not only players and team owners are being financially affected by the NHL lockout but also owners and operators of many ice skating rinks all over the country.
In North Texas, the thousands of kids who flock regularly to skating rinks in the hope of following the footsteps of their Dallas Stars idols are now gone.
"When you're in a nontraditional market like Dallas, the number of kids who start playing directly relates to the people following the Stars," said Eric Silverman, director of hockey for the Dallas Penguins Junior Hockey Association.
"We're talking about 6- to 8-year-old kids, and when you look at the kids born in '92 and '93, there were a lot of kids playing because the Stars won the Stanley Cup in 1999," Silverman added.
Without NHL action, Texas Amateur Hockey Association president Reggie Hall said bringing newcomers to the game is even harder.
"A lot of parents here didn't grow up with the sport so there isn't that natural pull, a natural affinity for the game. And when kids express an interest, parents can be somewhat reluctant," said Hall.
Aside from this, parents are also driven away by the cost of playing hockey, unlike basketball which needs only a pair of shoes and a ball.
"Unlike the upper Midwest, New England and certainly Canada, where there is a plethora of publicly owned rinks, here it's all private, and because of the climate you have much higher costs to keeping the rinks cold," Hall said. "Costs can be prohibitive."
Skating rinks in Minnesota and Buffalo also share the same fate as those in Dallas, with fewer kids playing due to absence of NHL action.
Mark Grundtisch, a skating rink owner in Cheektowaga, New York, is blaming the NHL lockout for the decline in revenue.
"The Sabres drive it," Grundtisch said. "They're the No. 1 marketer of hockey. They don't have to do anything other than play and win games and it's advertising for hockey."
Hall warned that if the NHL lockout persists, the interest in hockey could wane and kids might be enticed to try other activities.

What makes people so judgmental?
Just wondering why people have to judge things that they don't understand so hard. I feel like you can't ask questions without someone judging you for it.

Jul 25 2011: Helen,
I don't feel that you neccesarily have to feel superior to someone to pass judgment on them. I often judge people as better than me at something therefore creating a useful tool in my life.
I have however met people who like to judge people and try to see them in a negative light simply to make themselves feel more secure.
Jul 26 2011: Hmmm that makes sense. I think it's almost along the same lines as people that make fun of other people because they are insecure. I do my best to never pass judgment on other people though, we are all different and special in our own way. I am just tired of people that can't just be nice.

The telecommunications sector has traditionally been dominated by the state; even after the liberalization of the 1990s, the government—through several state-owned or operated companies and the Department of Telecommunications—has continued to control the industry. Although telephone service is quite dense in some urban areas, throughout the country as a whole there are relatively few main lines per capita. Many rural towns and villages have no telephone service. Cellular telephone service is available in major urban centres through a number of private vendors. The state dominates television and radio broadcasting through the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The number of personal computers—though large in raw numbers—is relatively small given the country's population. Although many individuals have Internet service subscriptions, cybercafes located in most major urban areas provide access for a great proportion of users.
Government and society
Constitutional framework
The architects of India's constitution, though drawing on many external sources, were most heavily influenced by the British model of parliamentary democracy. In addition, a number of principles were adopted from the Constitution of the United States of America, including the separation of powers among the major branches of government, the establishment of a supreme court, and the adoption, albeit in modified form, of a federal structure (a constitutional division of power between the union [central] and state governments). The mechanical details for running the central government, however, were largely carried over from the Government of India Act of 1935, passed by the British Parliament, which served as India's constitution in the waning days of British colonial rule.
The new constitution promulgated on Jan. 26, 1950, proclaimed India "a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic." With 395 articles, 10 (later 12) schedules (each clarifying and expanding upon a number of articles), and more than 90 amendments, it is one of the longest and most detailed constitutions in the world. The constitution includes a detailed list of "fundamental rights," a lengthy list of "directive principles of state policy" (goals that the state is obligated to promote, though with no specified timetable for their accomplishment [an idea taken from the Irish constitution]), and a much shorter list of "fundamental duties" of the citizen.
The remainder of the constitution outlines in great detail the structure, powers, and manner of operation of the union (central) and state governments. It also includes provisions for protecting the rights and promoting the interests of certain classes of citizens (e.g., disadvantaged social groups, officially designated as "Scheduled Castes" and "Scheduled Tribes") and the process for constitutional amendment. The extraordinary specificity of India's constitution is such that amendments, which average nearly two per year, have frequently been required to deal with issues that in other countries would be handled by routine legislation. With a few exceptions, the passage of an amendment requires only a simple majority of both houses of parliament, but this majority must form two-thirds of those present and voting.
Constitutional structure
The three lists contained in the constitution's seventh schedule detail the areas in which the union and state governments may legislate. The union list outlines the areas in which the union government has exclusive authority, which include foreign policy, defense, communications, currency, taxation on corporations and nonagricultural income, and railroads. State governments have the sole power to legislate on such subjects as law and order, public health and sanitation, local government, betting and gambling, and taxation on agricultural income, entertainment, and alcoholic beverages. The items on the concurrent list include those on which both the union government and state governments may legislate, though a union law generally takes precedence; among these areas are criminal law, marriage and divorce, contracts, economic and social planning, population control and family planning, trade unions, social security, and education. Matters requiring legislation that are not specifically covered in the listed powers lie within the exclusive domain of the central government.
An exceedingly important power of the union government is that of creating new states, combining states, changing state boundaries, and terminating a state's existence. The union government may also create and dissolve any of the union territories, whose powers are more limited than those of the states. Although the states exercise either sole or joint control over a substantial range of issues, the constitution establishes a more dominant role for the union government.
Union government
The three branches of the union government are charged with different responsibilities, but the constitution also provides a fair degree of interdependence. The executive branch consists of the president, vice president, and a Council of Ministers, led by the prime minister. Within the legislative branch are the two houses of parliament—the lower house, or Lok Sabha (House of the People), and the upper house, or Rajya Sabha (Council of States). The president of India is also considered part of parliament. At the apex of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court, whose decisions are binding on the higher and lower courts of the state governments.

Testing market efficiency of crude palm oil futures to European participants
AbstractPalm oil is the most consumed and traded vegetable oils in the EU and the world. Increasing non-food uses for vegetable oils in especially feedstock of biofuels in recent years have caused the price volatility to rise in both EU and global market. The most efficient pricing of crude palm oil (CPO) is to found on Bursa Malaysia (BMD), and it provides by far the world's most liquid palm oil contract. The goal of this study is to investigate CPO futures market efficiency of BMD for the European participants whose delivery location in EU. Both Johanson cointegration test and Vector Error Cointegration Mechnism (VECM) are conducted to test long-run and short-run efficiency test for the European spot market and four different futures forecasting horizons that are one week, two weeks, one month and two months. Evidence suggests that a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between the futures price and spot price for all forecasting horizons. The unbiasedness of futures price with respect to the spot price in the long-term can be approved for all but the forecasting period of two weeks. Furthermore, the short-term efficiency hypothesis is rejected for the forecasting periods of one week and two month but is approved for the forecasting periods of two weeks and two months.

"Fast response from audible request and great"
After the first book of this series I couldn't wait for this installement. It was great and audible had it up so fast--way to go
"Spellbinding narration of a great story"
Yes. The narration is maybe the best I have ever heard, and I have nearly 1000 audiobooks in my collection. He brought the darkness and despair out and gave it life through his reading. This was an Oscar worthy performance of an audiobook.
Branaugh had a wonderful work to begin with but his ability to bring it to life was a pure rare delight. I hung on his narration and felt the lonely dark despair of the characters
Life, fear, disenchantment and expectation of his next word. It gave the book vivid emotion.
No spoilers so ...Marlowe's emotional voyage at the near end.
This is one of the truest examples of the wonders an audiobook can be when a great book meets an unsurpassed narrator.
"Exciting conclusion to a fun series"
In the top one third
Walt has a sad yet hopeful conclusion
Teenage eye rolling speech that makes you feel as of teens were relaying events to you in person
Magical teens save the world-- Again.
"A good story and series progression"
Yes, although it would be best to start with book one for continuity
It is a good stand alone story with many interesting characters
I always like Sabina as she has the internal struggles to deal with
As usual Holloway mispronounces away but it seems to be a bit less here.
Tragedy and triumph in equal measure
"Urban ghost fighting flawed heroine - unique"
Chess is still as messed up as ever and yet she starts to care about it. The two street gangs are revealed more and some new good characters are introduced.
A good character progression and story
She is one of the best narrators on audible. Her readings bring the characters to life.
"Good start to a great series"
Wizardry attracts trouble
Giant acid spitting frog demons and love potions are bad
A quirky kind of dry humor that comes through
The following books of the series get better exponentially
"Finally a smart competent assassin"
Gin has confidence and is not in constant shame of herself.
Most books like this have a self loathing star. this one is blissfully okay with the work so whining about herself is absent.
Both in short bursts that are well timed
the first of a series and sets it up well
"It must be a teen thing, predictably angsty"
Not an adult and maybe not teen. Slow, simple storyline. Some points are just maddeningly bad.
Eeeewwwwwww, yuck.
Not even on TV for free
I think there should be a hormone requirement of teenage levels to read/listen to this. If I read this as a teen I still think I would have rolled my eyes and said "really?".
"Been there done that several times before"
Not really
A story with plot points not obvious a mile away would be a Start
Not with this material
Nope, can I get a refund on that part of my life?
Pass, do not stop even for a quick visit
"Surprisingly good"
The complex character development and intricate storyline that was able to surprise me over and over.
Yes, It was not predictable
The emotion of a well read story brings you in rather than feeling like an observer
I got this one in the sale for cheap, but is well worth a full credit. It made me feel like Stephen King could have written it under another name- it was that good.
"Great addition to the series and new plot points"
Max reads beautifully and it enhances the storyline.
Anya is always funny and William is intriguing - tie.
It would spoil too much to say
Legion helping...
Good progression in the series and future points revealed

Traveling Pregnant? What to Know before You Go!
Is it time for your annual vacation, or are you suddenly struck with a spur-of-the-moment yearning to fly to Cancun? Wondering if you can safely travel during pregnancy? Of course you can! Traveling as a mom-to-be can be safe, comfortable, and loads of fun. Here are a few tips to help you on your way.
High-Risk Pregnancies
Obstetricians generally agree to reasonable travel plans for pregnant women other than those at risk from hypertension, diabetes, bleeding, or a history of miscarriage. It's a good idea to discuss your travel plans with your doctor or midwife, particularly if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
Timing Your Trip
The second trimester of pregnancy, from weeks 14 to 28, is the optimum time to travel. By then the nausea and fatigue of the first trimester have generally abated, and the body has adjusted to pregnancy. Likewise, the higher risk of miscarriage during the first trimester has subsided, according to Dr. Cynthia Flynn, CNM, PhD, of Columbia Birth Center in Kennewick, Washington.
Traveling in the third trimester, however, can prove uncomfortable, particularly with the uterus pressing on the bladder and the added risk of preterm labor looming as a distinct possibility. In fact, most obstetricians discourage clients from traveling beyond a 100-mile radius after their 28th week of pregnancy.
Yet professional opinions differ. "I advise my clients that if their pregnancy is a healthy one, it is OK to travel during pregnancy up to about week 32," says Dr. Flynn. "After that, I only encourage long car trips. Finally, I like my clients to just stay home after 36 weeks; then they are 'grounded.'"

Rewind: Rooftops in Bushwick
by Leslie,
at 6:11 pm
Brooklyn : clubs & bars : concerts : Katrina | permalink | rss
I was looking through my photos and realized that I'd forgotten to blog about the last time I hung out with Katrina. She invited me to a rooftop party in Bushwick that she found out about via MyOpenBar.com, a magical yet dangerous website. We met and had brunch at Willburg Cafe and caught up, and then proceeded to spend about 45 minutes searching for the party. When we first got out of the subway, we were delighted to see that the sidewalks had been chalked with directions to the barbecue.
Or so we thought. It turned out that those directions were for an entirely different shindig, so we turned around and walked back to the subway to start over again. It turns out that neither one of us are any good at directions. We had to go back to the map in the subway station four or five times before we figured it out. Maps is hard
Once we got there, it was interesting. In addition to the free keg beer and PBR that MyOpenBar.com had promised, The New Pop was there filming a video for the Mariella Show. We were on the rooftop listening to music for a little while before it dawned on us that they were playing the same song over and over for the video shoot. Ooops! But then they went on to play several other songs.
Fun stuff. Later, we went to Daddy's, where I proceeded to drink too much and acted like a twit. But let's gloss over that, shall we? I also lost the cute Betsy Johnson shirt that I'd bought earlier in the day at Pirate Supplies.
Or did I?
I called the bar the next day, and thankfully they had found it and held it for me. Leslie: 1, World: 0. Or it was until I lost my portable hard drive the next week, so I guess it would technically be Leslie: 1, World: 1. Oh, well. Although the hard drive was more expensive, at least it was replaceable.
More photos after the cut.

Adrian Fernandez is one businessman who never carries his briefcase in his company car. It wont fit. Although the vehicle is valued at well above $500,000, once he slides into its single molded seat theres barely room enough for a business card.
Mr. Fernandez drives in the Championship Auto Racing Team (CART) circuit. A typical day at work involves maneuvering his 800-horsepower car at speeds of up to 230 miles per hour on some of the most difficult racetracks in the world. But thats only half his story. Mr. Fernandez is the only CART driver who owns his own team. Fernandez Racings $20 million annual budget supports 50 mechanics, engineers, and other crewmembers. The teams other driver is Shinji Nakano of Osaka, Japan.
Although the CART circuit and its two dozen drivers receive less U.S. television exposure than the NASCAR stock car series, it has a significant fan base worldwide. The 20-race CART schedule includes 10 U.S. races as well as others in Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Germany, and England. Races are run on road and street courses in addition to oval tracks.
Last year the circuit generated $70 million in revenue, including $47 million from fees paid to hold races, $12 million from sponsors (paid directly to CART, not received by individual teams), and $5 million for television rights.
CART car electronics and data collection systems are more sophisticated than those on most light airplanes. Their aerodynamic design produces so much downward air pressure that at high speeds, CART cars could theoretically run upside down on an inverted track.
Mr. Fernandezs prowess with such machines he can accelerate from 0 to 180 mph and brake to a stop again in 15 seconds has led him to wins on almost every continent where CART competes.
I had a big dream when I was a kid, says Mr. Fernandez, who is 37 and lives near Phoenix.
Born in Mexico City, Mr. Fernandez began motorbike racing at age 8, switching to racecars eight years later. With his fathers backing, he rapidly moved up in car classes, winning rookie of the year titles in every one. At 22, Mr. Fernandez gambled and went to England to learn all he could about race driving, cars, and teams. There he worked as a mechanic, taught driving, and raced. Returning to Mexico, he raced for two years in Formula 3 cars, which are less powerful than CART and Formula 1 cars, and won Mexicos championship.
In 1992 he came to the United States to race in the Firestone Indy Lights series, a stepping-stone to CART racing. He made his mark, winning four races and rookie of the year honors, and setting a rookie record for most laps led.
Mr. Fernandezs skill and consistency quickly brought him to the CART circuit, where he made his 1993 debut in Long Beach, California, alongside legendary drivers Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi.
Now in his 10th season on the circuit, with 150 race starts, Mr. Fernandez is one of the most experienced drivers in the league. In the 2000 season he led in laps and miles completed and was named Athlete of the Year in Mexico. This year, fellow drivers elected him chairman of the Championship Drivers Association, which oversees driver safety.
Partner Tom Anderson explains why Mr. Fernandez got the job: Hes business-minded and maybe has a bigger perspective than those who are drivers only. Hes well rounded, one of the senior drivers now, and not afraid to speak his mind.
His success has enabled him to win support from key sponsors. One of Fernandez Racings anchor sponsors is Tecate beer, produced by the Latin American beverage and retail giant FEMSA. A newer sponsor is Telmex, Mexicos largest communications company. In addition to gaining the companys financial backing, Mr. Fernandez has developed a friendship with its longtime chairman, Carlos Slim.
Some people think I am lucky to have the sponsors I do. But its not luck. It takes a lot of work, says Mr. Fernandez, who credits his longtime Tecate support to a presentation he made to company executives years ago.
In fact, his teams distinctive color scheme is the coincidental result of corporate sponsorships.
Tecate wanted red on my car, Mr. Fernandez explains. Later, Quaker State said if we didnt have green on the car, it wasnt interested in sponsorship. Telmex joined us later, and their color is white.
Put them together and you have, as every Fernandez Racing fan knows, the colors of the Mexican flag.
With support from sponsors and a commitment from Honda, whose racecars he prefers, Mr. Fernandez set out to build his team before the start of the 2001 racing season. Mr. Anderson, a well-respected and successful racing team manager, was quick to join as a partner and managing director.
Ive known Adrian since he raced in Indy Lights, and hes always represented himself in a 100 percent professional way, says Mr. Anderson. People who have developed as he has have a respect for the entire scope of the business side of racing, and these guys make pretty good partners.
Mr. Fernandez says running his own team is tougher than hed imagined.
You have to find the right people and then let them do their job. Getting the right people is really the key.
There are two other Mexican drivers on the CART circuit: Team Rahals Michel Jourdain Jr., whose sponsors are Office Depot and Gigante, and Mario Dominguez, whose major sponsor is the food company Herdez.
Mr. Fernandez, however, is commonly regarded as the dean of current Mexican drivers. His popularity was undoubtedly a factor in the decision to hold races in Monterrey, Mexico, this year and last both of which were very well attended and in Mexico City on November 17.
The Fernandez team is based in Indianapolis, but Mr. Fernandez does much of his business from his Phoenix home office.
Physical conditioning is a major part of his schedule. Few people appreciate the G forces and muscle-pounding that drivers endure during a two-hour race on a track filled with tight corners and curves. Mr. Fernandez lifts weights, works on hand-and-eye coordination exercises, and runs sometimes up the hills near his home. Cardiovascular training is critical, because a CART drivers heart rate has been found to hit 90 percent of maximum during stressful parts of a race.
A lot of people think they work really hard, but they havent scratched the surface, says Mr. Fernandez.
He says a balanced life is necessary to maintaining motivation, which is a key to winning, and credits his purchase of a Lear jet last year with helping him keep things in perspective.
With sponsorship appearances, testing, and racing I was spending 230 to 260 hours a year in the air. I was getting very tired of flying, he says.
Though he travels as much as he ever did, he can now skip the delay and fatigue of commercial airport terminals and spend more time at his Southwest-style home. There the racing theme stops at his office door. A television feature on Mr. Fernandez earlier this year noted his impressive collection of Mexican art.
His on-track success continues. He won the pole position in two of the first four races of the 2002 season.
Were on schedule with the plan he laid out when he started the team, says Mr. Anderson.

text: POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) - A former guard at an eastern Idaho prison has been sentenced to eight years of probation for attempting to have sexual contact with an inmate. The Idaho State Journal (http://bit.ly/SxHTxs) reports Kim Russel Rogers was sentenced by 6th District Judge Stephen Dunn on Monday. The judge also gave Rogers a suspended sentence of three to seven years, which may be imposed if he fails to complete his probation. Rogers worked at the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center for about a decade before he was charged with felony sexual contact with an inmate in June 2012. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge to attempted sexual contact and recommend probation. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency
The most current detailed summary of our program, as submitted on November 16, 2011
to the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO), can be viewed
by clicking here.
The program is served by two hospitals: the University of Toledo Medical Center, and the ProMedica Toledo Hospital.
Outpatient Ob/Gyn services, as well as inpatient gynecologic services, are based at
both institutions - while inpatient obstetric services are based at the ProMedica
Toledo Hospital.
The full-time faculty, including the department Chair, interact daily with the residents. Our department has all three subspecialties represented on the full-time faculty. Voluntary clinical faculty (private practitioners) are also involved on a daily basis with the teaching program.
The major strengths of our program are the quality of education offered and the appropriate volume of patients seen at each hospital. We have successfully combined a medical college and a community hospital in one program.
It is our desire for you to become the best obstetrician gynecologist you can be, whether a private practitioner or an academic physician.

References: Jeremiah 17Do you think that people are basically good, they just need a little help to bring them closer to God? Jeremiah found out the hard way whether this statement was true, or not.
We often hear Isaiah 9:6 during the Christmas season. It is part of Handel's Messiah. In this series, James Boice takes us through this familiar scripture and shows what it reveals about God's wonderful gift to us. God is called by four names in this passage. Each name describes a gift that God gives to us in Christ Jesus. And Christ, who bears those names, ministers to us in four separate ways. He is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Each of these names matches our needs. Dr. Boice looks at each one because together they describe the magnitude of this wonderful gift which God has given us in Jesus Christ at Christmas time.

First Trax :: Daily News
The Talk of the Day is of the Approaching BIG SNOW!
I want to thank all of you who emailed me yesterday and last night about the recent snowfall postings. Thank you...thank you very much...
...Beech Mountain is looking AMAZING righ now as this capture from the LIVE SLOPESIDE cam showed at 10am this morning!
Also Kenny Griffin took THREE new LIVE VIDEO CAMS live on Monday. First is a new webcam up on top of Chalakee (above Foscoe) which is our new Grandfather Mountain Cam. As is ALWAYS the case, when we FIRST put new camera in, you can count on bad weather for a day or so. Right now that cam is pretty clouded over, but on Monday and on subsequent days ahead with all of the snow and blue skies afterward, that Grandfather Mountain Cam will be spectacular. It zooms in to show the perfect (and famous) view of the profile of Grandfather Mountain. Thanks to Mark Harrill and the guys at Echota for partnering with us to make that happen. The old Grandfather view cam was great but it was always obstructed by the lone tree right in the middle of the view. This new one will be sweet when looking at Grandfather during snows, fall colors and with cloud cover draped over "him".
Kenny also implemented two new U.S. Forestry Service cameras...so you'll want to check out all of those and the ski resort cams during Wednesday's snow storm at www.ResortCams.com.
We put a lot of effort into keeping you guys informed. I'm guessing that we will have our hands full keeping up with the snowfall reports that will start coming in later today and this evening. Do me a favor and tweet us at @skisoutheast with your snow totals during the next 24-48 hours. We'd like to get as many reports as possible.
We haven't heard from Meteorologist Brad Panovich just yet as I'm certain he's busy and excited over the impending storm. Areas such as Canaan Valley, Timberline, Wisp and Snowshoe which have all seen as much as TWENTY INCHES of snow since February 27th (see http://data.canaanmtnsnow.com/) could see as much as another FIFTEEN INCHES of snow by late on Wednesday. According to the NWS the forecast for Davis, West Virginia (home to Canaan Valley and Timberline resorts) will see one-half inch of snow today, 6-10" of snow tonight and another 3-5" of snow is expected on Wednesday.
Davis, WV already HAS 18" of snow depth STILL ON THE GROUND after a sunny day and 4" of snow melt on Monday. Friends if you add 15" of snow on top of what they have now, they could see more than a 30" snow pack...and we're talking for cross country skiing, igloo making, snow FAMILY making and more snow fun! Oh yea, the SLOPES are going to POWDER, POWDER and more POWDER.
Areas like Snowshoe and their 4848' elevations are forecasted for slightly less, but they have been known to beat the forecasted numbers so we'll have to see how that goes, but from the forecasts we've seen, I'd expect another FOOT or more of snow around Snowshoe. When we left there on Sunday there was already a good foot of snow pack off the slopes and nothing but pure pleasure on the slopes. This additional dumping should make for EPIC conditions to be at Snowshoe over the next few days and this weekend.
Wisp Resort in Maryland is forecasted to see perhaps 7-15" of heavy snow in the next 24-30 hours as well...so expect amazing conditions at the Garrett County Maryland ski area. We've been telling you guys for a few years now about Wisp. If you love the mountains, you really need to check out their version of the great outdoors. There's an awesome mix of commercial and backcountry to McHenry, Maryland and those who have followed our lead have given this resort awesome reviews.
...An amazing shot from early this morning at Wintergreen Resort.
THAT will all change with this approaching system if all goes according to the models. They will start out with some wintry mix today but that should quickly change over to snow tonight with periods of HEAVY SNOW 6-10" tonight and another 3-7" on Wednesday. So with a possible 10-17" of snowfall forecasted, we should see all of the Virginia resort's snowfall totals more than double from this one storm. VIRGINIA IS FOR SNOW LOVERS...
...The image to the right was taken from the LIVE SLOPESIDE CAM this morning showing 3-4" of snow still in the ground with more coming. Visit www.ResortCams.com for more of these!
We're all seeing some underdeveloped snow (rain) right now and that should be the "rule of the day" until things chill down later in the evening.
This strong snow season has fueled record sales for next season's winter pass. The resort's Unlimited Pass remains available for $249 through March 31st, and in just the first 10 days on sale, pass sales have already exceeded all of the season passes sold the previous two years combined. "Conditions are great, the snow continues to fall, and the price is right, so people want to get their pass now, enjoy a great March of skiing and riding, and then be set for next year," says Frank DeBerry, Snowshoe's President and Chief Operating Officer.
Snowshoe chose the closing date of March 31st in an effort to meet most of the surrounding area Spring Break dates. Starting March 8th, Snowshoe will be hosting the first ever Ballhooter Spring Break Festival - a four-day music and college celebration destined to become an annual tradition. The event features live music nightly on a festival stage in the Snowshoe Village, plus The Ballhooter Beach Party presented by Bacardi, live comedy shows, on-snow games, video contests, race and terrain park competitions, and the first-ever Red Bull DJ Battle at Snowshoe. The resort is offering college students deeply discounted packages on lodging and lift tickets as well.
"We received over three feet of new snow in February," says DeBerry "And the weather and conditions just keep getting better just in time for late-season deals and specials to keep people from pointing to the beach."
There you go Frank.

"Dancing With the Stars" doubled the pain last night, with two former winners getting slashed.
Drew Lachey, season two winner, was nixed first last night. The 98 Degrees singer is out just seven days after ex-'N Sync singer Joey Fatone was ousted. I guess that 30-something demographic isn't voting the way it used to. Lachey was second from the bottom, tied with Kirstie Alley and behind only Bristol Palin, who had the lowest score again at 22.5.
That shows again the power of the Palin vote!
Auto racing star Helio Castroneves, season five winner, was also cut. I still had to check the spelling of his last name. I'm not into IndyCar racing and he won this contest five years ago. He was ranked in a tie for fourth last night with 25.5 so he was vulnerable.
Top scorers of the night were two women: "Bachelorette" Melissa Rycroft and season one winner and soap star Kelly Monaco, who bounced back from middling scores the first two weeks of competition.
The coolest gimmick was having the couples pick dances for each other. Palin and Mark Ballas, for instance, gave Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd Bollywood. (That should be a hoot!) Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy bestowed Sabrina Bryan and Louis van Amstel disco.
Helio and Chelsie Hightower gave Shawn Johnson the mambo. Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy chose bolero for Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke. Melissa and Tony Dovolani created much joy in Apolo Anton Ohno's heart by giving him and his partner Karina Smirnoff hip hop.
Apolo gave Melissa the jitterbug. Emmit chose contemporary for Kelly. Shawn gave Helio Broadway (though he was eliminated.) Sabrina gave Kirstie the Charleston, which didn't please Maks. Bristol and Mark by default will do rock and roll, which actually doesn't sound that bad.

When they brought back "winners" from the past to dance against each other, they should have made it "Judges Voting ONLY." Obviously, pleople are going to vote for their favorite person, or that person's favorite Mom, when in fact at this stage of the game, dancers should be judged by professionals (or even past winnersthat elect to play judge instead of dance.) They clearly know what to look for in dance steps and not necessarily personality. Such a shame that 2 of the best dancer have already been eliminated while 2 of the least best dancers are still there.

What a novel idea, Smander. I agree, it should be judges vote only since they are the experts. Bristol definitely should have been voted off. She might be the most improved, but she's hardly one of the best!
October 10th, 2012
10:34 am
I think audience participation is what drives this show's popularity and ratings so they are smart to let us vote our favorites for whatever reason.

Are you related to Ms. Jenkins on the fif floor?
October 10th, 2012

Sorry, last name Jenkins always makes me think of that line.

What's up with keeping Bristol on the show? She truly is NOT a great dancer and should have been let go the first week. They are sending home the best dancers. I can't believe they are still keeping her on. There must be something untoward going on behind the scenes.
October 10th, 2012
1:00 pm
"Helio and Chelsie Hightower gave Shawn Johnson the manbo." hmmm, that's a new dance that I would actually like to see…(me thinks you mean mambo)
October 10th, 2012
2:02 pm
Would someone please tell me why people keep voting for Bristol. She cannot dance and is now blaming her partner by claiming he would prefer a different partner (well, so would I if I had to dance with that girl). I hope none of here votes are coming from Metro Atlanta. I don't want to be on the top of the stupidest dance critics in the US.
October 10th, 2012

They lost me in week one when they voted off my eye-candy; Pamela Anderson. Obviously not many DUDES are watching/voting.
October 10th, 2012
3:32 pm
I think Bristol bumped her head, who do she think she is talking to the show's best professional male dancer, Mark Ballas, like she did the other night? You betta check yo'self Boo.
October 10th, 2012
4:18 pm
I only watch the show sporadically, but it's a joke when BP stays on and two pretty darn good dancers exit so early in the game. That girl is a spoiled brat with (not even) two left feet. I was pulling for Mark to dump her and leave this round, but guess he's too much of a pro and gentleman to do that, even though he's stuck with a real b!tchy lemon
October 10th, 2012
4:37 pm
I thought Bristol did better than last week. She is as good as some of the others.
October 12th, 2012
12:03 am
Bristol Palin cannot dance he way out of a wet paper bag. The Tea Party must be at work again. She will be there at the bottom for as long as it takes to get some money. Allstars means the best, not the also ran. I agree that the judges should have the final say. No she is not as good as anyone on the show other than Pamela Anderson and she's gone.
October 16th, 2012
1:04 pm
Bristol is going to kill the show if they don't get her off. All my friends are done with the show. Judges had better take over with the main vote. Better remember voice is on at the same time.

a salesperson's guide to the cautious buyer
How to Sell to the Cautious Buyer
Cautious buyers are naturally conservative. They don't want to be the first to do anything. They would always rather modify or upgrade what's existing than introduce something entirely new. Sometimes, it is just because they are 'tight' and they hate spending of any kind. Other times, it is because of their value-set. For example, Gerry Harvey (Harvey Norman retail stores), one of Australia's richest men tells of how he agonised for two weeks over spending $100 on new shoes for himself. Yet he would spend a thousand times that in an advertising campaign in a fraction of the time.
Cautious Buyers give little away emotionally and can be reluctant to voice objections. This is not because they aren't able to; they choose not to because they don't want to give you information they think you'll misuse. They are very good at keeping their own counsel. They can appear lacking in confidence, although this is often not the case - it's just that their caution can be misinterpreted as indecision.
They approach every purchase seriously and see it as a test of their competence. They tend to be cynical about the sales process as they are concerned about being manipulated. Will examine all printed material thoroughly and highlight even the tiniest inconsistency. They look for hard proof of performance and are likely to be influenced by third party endorsements - as long as they see them as having come from someone similar to them.
They have thoughts like:
"I have to get this right. It will be so embarrassing if I miss something." "I'm not going to get ripped off like that one time before." "I am happy to learn from others mistakes."
How to sell to cautions buyers
- Keep them fully informed about what you are doing and why you are asking certain questions. Make sure that their suspicion of salespeople has no grounds. Disarm them with your unexpected openness. - Let them, as much as possible, direct the conversation. Be patient. - Make sure you give them as much hard evidence (test results, etc) as you possibly can. Double-check everything that you give them for factual correctness, spelling and grammar. - Also, if possible, provide social evidence. Testimonials from those in positions they would see as being similar to theirs. - Over-communicate regarding the process of the sale/delivery.
Words to use
Proven, tested, most popular, most users have found, logical, reasonable, guaranteed, factual, qualified, planned, detailed, professional
Don't take cautious buyers personally - they teat every salesperson that way. Give them what they want and they can be a powerful ally - because their work colleagues know that to get their endorsement, you must have everything in place.

The Lord of the Rings War in the North Review (Playstation 3)
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Nov 08, 2011 20:35
This is where some of the inventory system flaws come out. For example, you could carry maybe 20 helmets, sets of greaves, spaulders, boots, melee and ranged weapons. But the rest of the inventory is limited to one small capacity for it all. You can swap weapons and armor with the other players in your group, but you can't give them the loot and share the load or send them elf stones (gems that get embedded into armor and weapons for enhancements) so that when you play that character you can boost their stats. This is a pretty big flaw in the inventory system. Why limit inventory that can be shared at all? On top of that, it all has duration before it needs to be repaired, but when you find smith, you have no "repair all" option and that makes for a lot of unnecessary button presses.
That brings up the other major flaw in the game which is the fact you have to enter and exit the game to switch characters. Unlike in some other games where you can freely switch between the party members. Admittedly, it is better than adventuring into the wild areas alone as you always have some backup.
But when you level up, you then have to exit/enter to level up the other characters. I whipped through 10 or 11 levels and then switched characters and had to spend time upgrading that character, setting their armor and weapons, etc. So while you might be playing at level 12 and fighting level 12 creatures, the NPC members of your group are at level 1 and fighting at that level. It seems sort of a clunky way to go about things and they could have offered a better way to level up all the characters and a better way to switch between them.
While some of that was distracting, it hardly detracted from the overall experience that is The Lord of the Rings War in the North. The story is richly detailed and I truly felt like I was adventuring through Middle Earth and helping fight the evil lord Sauron's forces. The enemies and characters that you run up against, while having been influenced visually by the films, are certainly what I expect them to be from Tolkien's descriptions. Trolls are extremely tough to take down and orcs and goblins pile on in droves. The iconic landscapes and locations are also well constructed and for the most part the areas are wide open for exploration.

First visit to the Big Apple
Finally I have booked a vacation to come see New York in all its glory and need your help
I will be arriving from England in Mid Feb 2007 (arriving on the 17th) along with my wife and 2 kids (Daughter is 18 and Son is 15)we are staying in Manhattan on Lexington Ave and what we would like to know from you folks (apart from how cold it is going to be!)are the places you would recommend in the area to go eat some good food (not fine cuisine just good New York Chow!)
Good Pizza restaurants, Good Steak restaurants, good Chinese restaurants etc (I think you get my drift!)
Also, ever since I watched Gene Hackman in The French Connection (showing my age now!) I have always wanted to try an authentic Chilli Dig (sad I know but what the heck!) any recommendations on this one? (apart from DON'T DO IT!!)
Have a nice day
Having never been to NY I didn't realise that Lexington Avenue was so long (I will learn the hard way I think!!!)
The place we are staying is Lexington Avenue at 48th Street
if you want to kill yourself with a hot dog, go to crif dogs on st. marks place. it will be a good death.
Mid-February can be very cold. You should be prepared for sub-freezing temperatures and strong winds. Although you might get lucky and hit one of the "warm" weeks when temps are in the 40's or 50's.
I used to live very close to the neighborhood where you'll be staying. My advice to you is, for the most part, to go elsewhere to eat. That area is primarily a business area, with a line of hotels along Lexington, and therefore both a bit sparse for good food and somewhat overpriced. But you should do a search for Midtown restaurants. Remember, you'll be on the east side.
The largest restaurant area nearby is two blocks directly east over on 2nd Ave., but it can get very crowded with young drunk people on the weekends. Again, a search will give you some good Midtown East restaurants. There are also a number of good little Japanese places nearby to the south near Grand Central Station. One that's easy to navigate for non-Japanese is little Menchanko-tei on E. 45th St. between Lexington and 3rd Ave. It's nothing special, but does have good noodle bowls for a reasonable price.
For Chinese, Wu Liang Ye on 48th between 5th and 6th is an excellent Szechuan restaurant. It is, however, rather expensive, and certainly more than most Chinatown restaurants.
One thing there are a lot of near where you'll be staying are steakhouses. In fact, you're very near one of New York's most famous (infamous?) steakhouses, Sparks on 46th between 3rd and 2nd Aves. It's very expensive, and you must make a reservation (and even then you'll almost certainly spend some time waiting in the bar), but the steaks are generally huge and good, and the wine list outstanding.
One nearby authentic New York experience you shouldn't miss is Ess-A-Bagel on 3rd Ave. btween 50th and 51st. It's not NYC's best bagel (a source of endless arguments) but it is good and very very New York. I always get an everything bagel with lox spread or an onion with whitefish salad.
As for hot dogs, the chili dog is not really a New York City thing. Hot dogs are usually eaten here with mustard and sauerkraut (or the sweetish red onion relish peculiar to NYC), and are avialable in the afternoons in not-so-great boiled versions from carts throughout Midtown - even in mid-winter. I agree with the above poster about Crif Dogs in the East Village though. It's in a basement on St. Mark's between 1st Ave. and Ave. A with an unmissible hot dog shaped sign that says "eat me". They serve both New York (grilled) and New Jersey (deep fried) dogs, and they have chili dogs (much more common in New Jersey). The East Village will be a good neighborhood for you to visit anyway, since it's a straight ride south on the #6 subway, with a lot of reasonable eating options, and will be quite interesting for the younger folks.
A very New York hot dog alternative would be to take the 6 train north to 86th St. and walk east to the venerable Papaya King. There you could have the great Manhattan experience of standing up and eating good grilled hotdogs while drinking creamy tropical fruit drinks. But, alas, no chili.
re: Woodside Al
The bagel debate is ongoing, but I'm a strong proponent of Ess-A-Bagel...would definitely recommend that.
For a piece of New York history, go to Diamond Dairy on 47th and 5th Avenue for lunch. It's a dairy kosher lunch counter set in the back of and on the mezzanine of a jewlery bazzar (4 West 47th Street).
Have the potato pancakes and the noodles w/cabbage, and then the cheese blintzes for dessert.
It's not much to look at but it's a hint to the history of New York. VERY authentic.
Sounds like you're staying near Waldorf-Astoria and W Hotel...at the Doubletree Metropolitan, perhaps? NYC is a block by block city, full of terrific neighborhood food, not necessarily in that area but a quick subway/bus/taxi ride away. Don't stay in your midtown area or you'll miss the best NYC has to offer visitors. Best pizza - Little Italy area, Lombardi's. Best Italian dessert - Ferraros. Best Chinese - Chinatown of course. Longest running business establishment in the city (not always a restaurant though), Bridge Cafe, near Brooklyn Bridge at the South Street Seaport. All mid-priced and good for families.
re: hugomania
You really think Ferrara (I assume that's what you mean) has the best Italian desserts in Manhattan? To be honest, I haven't searched out Italian pastries lately, but I have the feeling that there are better places in the West Village.
I also disagree about Lombardi's, but I've expressed my opinion on that in other threads.
I also don't think that it's at all obvious that the best Chinese food in Manhattan can be found in Chinatown. One could make a strong argument that the Midtown location of Grand Sichuan (I mean the one on 9th Av. just north of 50th St.) is the best Chinese restaurant in Manhattan.
re: hugomania
We are going to be staying at the Lexington Radisson, I've heard its not too bad a hotel and the location seems ok, thanks for your recommendations I'm making a list of the good ones and I've already warned my wife that she will need to wear expandable thermal clothing as there seem to be so many good places to eat in New York and its going to be cold in February!
re: Terry44
It MIGHT be cold in February. Winter weather has been very unpredictable in New York for the past several years.

Pharrell Williams is 40 years old, but looks much younger. What's his secret? Well, it's not feasting on human blood, that's for sure.
During an interview with the British magazine Time Out , the interviewer informs the Grammy-winning singer and producer that people have been searching on Google for the phrase "Is Pharrell Williams a vampire?" presumably in an attempt to discover the secret behind his youthful appearance. When the interviewer asks Pharrell point-blank if he's one of the undead, he replies, "No I am not. I'm willing to go on record as saying that I don't drink people's blood. How do I stay so young-looking for a 40-year-old? I wash my face."
Also contributing to Pharrell's youthful appearance may be the fact that life is pretty great for him right now. After being featured on two of last year's biggest hits -- "Get Lucky" and "Blurred Lines" -- his own tune, "Happy," is currently #1 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart, and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's also up for an Oscar, and he'll perform it during the Academy Awards telecast March 2 on ABC.
Ironically, Pharrell says creating the breezy, positive song that's featured in the animated film Despicable Me 2 took a lot of toil and trouble.
Pharrell tells ABC's Good Morning America, "'Happy' has been the gift that keeps on giving. It's a song that I would have never written without being constantly directed as to what was needed by [the producer of Despicable Me 2] , and he was relentless. You know, it took me nine songs of failure in order to get the one win."
That's right: the hit-making musician says he literally came up with nine different versions of "Happy" before he created one that pleased the producer, Chris Meledandri . No wonder its success -- and its Oscar nod -- came as a surprise to him.
"I never expected for it to go this far," laughs Pharrell. "I mean, I'm just thinking to myself, like, you know at that moment [I was writing it], I'm like, 'How do I do it? I failed nine times!'"
"Happy" is featured on Pharrell's upcoming album G I R L, which arrives in stores March 3.

Suzy-Q's Bar-B-Que Shack
June 2014
For our 3rd Annual Bourbon & BBQ event, Gates Circle Wine & Liquor returned to Suzy-Q's Bar-B-Que Shack, a fantastic smokehouse you'd think was ripped straight out of the south and deposited near the banks of the Niagara River. If you missed the event, or you've never paid Suzy a visit, grab yourself some pulled pork and pour a glass or two of whiskey. We recommend Smooth Ambler Rye, and maybe a little Smooth Ambler Straight Bourbon to switch things up. These whiskies both come from West Virginia, perfectly illustrating that great American spirits don't have to come from Kentucky.
If by now you've run out of pulled pork, perhaps give Suzy-Q's another visit and grab something, anything, with the smoky flavor you can no longer live without. Also, provided you're ready to put the Smooth Ambler back in the liquor cabinet, you might consider moving on to Jefferson's Reserve Very Old Bourbon, or even Calumet Farm Bourbon, just to remind yourself how good the stuff from Kentucky can be. Once you hit the dessert course, bring it back home with some Catskill Provisions New York Honey Whiskey, an infusion of real wildflower honey into Finger Lakes Distilling Rye. It doesn't get much better than that.

Oliver's Restaurant Wine Dinner
May 2014
Oliver's Restaurant continues to demonstrate that it may not even be possible to get a bad meal while you're there. Each of the dinners they have graciously hosted with Gates Circle Wine & Liquor have featured diverse, interesting, and most importantly delicious menus with dishes that perfectly compliment the evening's wines.
Polaner Selections generously donated their time to have a drink with us, presenting several wines of superb quality and character. When Domaine de Trevallon decided to clear out the rocky deposits on their property with a judicious application of dynamite, it might not have occurred to them when their vines were first planted in 1973 that they would soon be making some of the most highly regarded wines in Southern France. Gerard Boulay, with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1380, surely knows a thing or two about doing things the right way with minimal human interference. His wines are produced with naturally occurring yeast, and his Clos de Beaujeu Sancerre is bottled without filtration. Moulin Touchais' cellars have been carefully managed by eight generations of the Touchais family, and their wines are only released after a minimum of 10 years aging. The 1981 vintage Chenin Blanc is a superior wine that has matured gracefully.
All of these wines and more are available locally at Gates Circle Wine & Liquor and nationally at gatescircleliquor.com.
