A young student from Richmond Sixth Form College has got a step closer to fulfilling his dreams of racing in Formula One, after a second inspirational year on the Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE).
Max Coates, 18, from Scorton near Richmond is juggling his 'A' level studies with the second year of AASE at Loughborough College with his sights set on racing in the Ginetta G50 support class at the British Touring Car Championship this year.
Progressing to the next level demands significant sponsorship to fund the team to prepare the car effectively for each race and AASE has helped Max to achieve these sponsorship targets. He explains, "We hope to confirm later this week that we have secured the sponsorship we need to step up to the G50 Championship this year. It has been a long road with a huge family support team behind me, but we are almost there. The AASE programme has helped me understand the media and the importance of an increased profile including social media and how to secure sponsorship."
He goes on to explain how the course has given him the tools to reach the pinnacle of his sport. "The programme has improved me as a driver, thanks to a real attention to detail in all aspects; my fitness, nutrition and preparation that I didn't fully appreciate before and has given me a real focus."
After two years in the Ginetta Junior Championship, Max is now targeting the British Touring Car Championship and then the World Level Touring Car Championship, inspired by Britain's recent Formula One World Champions.
He says, "You can't get two better role models for our sport than Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, they certainly give you added inspiration. AASE has really helped me to learn more about my sport and I really appreciate the small margins that can be the difference between winning and losing a race.
"I would love to be involved with managing a team or coaching drivers one day, next year I am planning to take a gap year to do some work experience in the mechanics of motorsport, technical skills are so important.
"Winning the Championship this year could be the launch pad to successful senior career for me. I know I have an amazing opportunity and just one chance to make it happen."#
Created by SkillsActive and funded by the Skills Funding Agency, AASE is a sports performance programme for young talented athletes. It's designed to directly measure an athlete's ability to plan, apply and evaluate their development in the appropriate technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of their sport. It also addresses wider issues such as lifestyle, career development, communication and health and safety.

Kai - Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort
Online Reservations
The food was top-notch!! Kudos to Chef Josh Johnson for an exquisite eating experience. Everything we enjoyed had an unparalleled taste. The staff was very knowledgable and delivered excellent presentation of each dish.
The staff was superb. We were greeted when we entered the hotel, every member of the waiting staff tended to or anticipated our every need, and our car was waiting for us when we walked out the door at the end.
I hear the phrase "dining experience" to the point that it loses any real meaning. I have to say, in the most unqualified way, that Kai is truly a dining experience, far beyond anything I have had before. From their 60 mahogany-framed unique watercolor menus, each depicting a story in the Pima culture to the truly artistic (there's another overused word that in this case is accurate) presentation of each and every dish, Kai absolutely takes the proverbial cake. While expensive, I thought it was well worth the money. I have certainly paid more for less at other places.
It's so highly rated that we thought we might have our expectations tuned up too high, but everything--service, food, drinks, ambiance, the cultural touches--was outstanding! Highly recommend it.
The restaurant is located within the Sheraton Hotel on beautiful desert landscape. The dining room is small and intimate and each server greets you by name. The menu is reflective of the restaurant's commitment to work with locally grown and produced food along with dishes inspired by the Native American indians from the region. The menu selections offered are delightful, artfully prepared and taste even better. The food is healthful, but you don't leave hungry. The price is reflective of the great food, service and attention to detail. Well worth it. The atmosphere is open but quiet and decor is upscale modern with local Native American influenced artwork and a sunset view that is stunning. I recommend the buffalo and chocolate mousse.
The entire experience was outstanding. The food was creative and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding. We were made to feel very special and it was a nice conclusion to our trip to Phoenix. I would highly recommend anyone try it. It was one of the best meals I've had.
We love Kai! The atmosphere is very serene and both rooms offer beautiful views of the surrounding desert. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff is knowledgable, professional and gracious. We have dined at Kai on four occasions and have never been disappointed.
I never knew Buffalo Tenderloin was so amazingly tender!!
Had dinner with our friends at Kai. Food was delicious and the setting was beautiful! It is definitely a great spot for a special occassion. The only thing I would change about it would be that there was too many wait staff and the service was a bit over the top and unsettling to me. We had 4 people putting napkins on our laps in sync. It may just be me, but as a foodie and someone who has eaten in fine eateries around the world I found this unnerving.
I have dined in over 75 countries at all types of restaurants. Kai is without question the best. From impeccable service by fantastically trained servers to dignified but not pretentious ambiance to a blending of Native American ingrients with outstanding quality food to food presentation to the "departure surprise" awaiting you in your car, I have no reservations about saying this restaurant on an Indian Reservation is the best I have ever dined at each time I've been here. Ten times and looking forward to many more. Six stars
We hald a great food experience. The cooking experience was near perfection. On a michelin star level this restaurant sould be between 2 or 3 stars We will come Back for sure
My wife and I chose to take the Journey which is a 13 course experience. All of the food was excellent and nicely displayed. The multiple waiters were very knowledgeable about each of the dishes as well as the history. This was definitely something we were glad to experience and recommend that everyone try this at some point.
We so desperately wanted to have the kind of experience that has prompted raves from so many other diners. For our first visit, we went full bore with the 14-course tasting menu. Although the food showed tremendous culinary creativity and attention to detail, it just didn't have the mind-blowing flavor we expected. We were hoping for one of the best meals of our lives (and threw serious sums of money at achieving this result), but we didn't even get the best meal of our 10-day trip. With that said, there were some highlights (fois gras! and sous vide root vegetables), just not enough of them. We did enjoy the impeccable service. Our wait staff, led by Jeremy, was terrific!!!
This is not a place to go for just a really fancy dinner. It is a place to enjoy a amazing dining experience.
Service impeccable. Ambience simple and sophisticated. Beautiful dishes and utensils. Beautiful view. Buffalo was incredibly tender and and flavorful. A long way but on the freeway. Great for special occasions.
An enjoyable evening for a special occasion. Food, ambiance and service is impeccable. the experience starts on the drive in to the lodge.
The service is extraordinary! Also extremely attentive to dietary needs. Multiple people contributed to the entire dining experience. We were made to feel special from the moment we walked through the door all the way through getting in our car. Be sure to valet your car. Each of us tried a different entree (including shellfish, grouper, and pheasant) and decided we liked the steak with goat cheese dip the best. Wish I had gone to Kai for my most recent special occassion.
Kai is perfection. We enjoyed the 13 course tasting menu paired with wine and it was glorious in every way. Our main server, Feliciano and our sommelier, Thomas, along with their able staff, guided us through our journey with professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. Each course was inventive, beautiful and incredibly delicious. The wine pairings were among the best we have experienced anywhere and were pitch perfect. We live in New York and we thought we'd experienced this level of dining before, but obviously we had not. Our stay in Phoenix was brief but Kai is something we'd like to experience again, so we will return when we can. Of course a meal like this comes at a steep price, but it is worth every penny. Bravo, Kai!!!!
This was our first visit to Kai and what an experience. We had the 14 course tasting menu, with 1 wine pairing. The ambiance was great, the food fantastic and the service impeccable. Kai is unique in its approach, trying to deliver a dinning experience / performance, starting with the limo pickup right through to delivering safely (and full) back home. The food is not your average upmarket steak house or fish house, the menu is constructed to represent the best of the area and combining many formally used herbs, spices and vegetables that appear to have gone " out of Fashion". It was a most wonderful culinary experience. Only one negative observation, coming from UK/Europe, the tasting menu was a little bit big in terms of qty on each plate
Simply the best meal I've ever had in my life. The flavors were exquisite, the preparation was sublime, and the service was over the top. Granted, I've bought good kitchen appliances that cost less money, but none of them were as satisfying or as memorable.
Kai is not just for the food but it is all about an authentic Native American Experience. The menus are works of art; the bar ingredients unique and tasty; the waitstaff is choreographed in an elegant production; and yes, the food is tasty, artfully presented, and unique to this venue. Special touches are the amuse bouche, palate cleanser, and delicious hand-made chocolate truffles. Not to be missed when you are in the Phoenix area.
Came here for our 10yr anniversary and had a great time. Food was really good and we loved every dish. My wife is normally pretty critical about food and she didn't have a single negative comment! Service is exceptional and the wait staff were all very polite and professional. Some might feel it's too much service as there is a lot of wait staff and they come by and check on you often but we loved it. We would definitely come back again.
The perfect spot to share with the one you love.....every table in the restaurant could be full yet the staff make you feel that you are the only ones in the restaurant.
I'm still not sure why this restaurant does not have the #1 rated food in the Phoenix area. You can question the cost of restaurants....you may think it's not your style of food.....you may think the servings are too small ....but it is DEFINITELY... the best... most thoughtfully and conscientiously prepared food... anywhere near the Valley. Great, caring servers. Simply the Best.
Absolutely the best dining experience I have had the pleasure enjoy. From the service, the wine, and the exceptional meal, Kai is the best dining experience in Phoenix.
Kai is an incredible dining experience as you would expect with the states only 5 Diamond restaurant. The setting is spectacular overlooking the mountains, pools, golf course and Sonoran desert. The service is impeccable yet unobtrusive. The food is Native American, Southwest influenced with special attention to local and natural ingredients. They also have a spectacular wine list. This is a top dining experience every time.
We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Kevin and his staff were fantastic. He made the proper recommendations and challenged us to try some different things. The food was prepared and presented perfectly. The wine steward also made an outstanding choice. We will definitely return.
Must try signature cocktails. Excellent dishes with seasonal ingredients. Impecable service.
Wait staff and food were both best we have ever enjoyed at any restaurant. Service was amazing, knowledge of the food and ingredients and preparation was complete by all wait staff. It shows what a restaurant can be with the proper education of staff and and the desire of the staff to want to learn and to make the dining experience so much more than just putting food in front of the customer. Every course of the 7 course menu was outstanding. Wine pairings with each course were perfect. Also, kudos to the valet gentlemen. They were helpful and friendly,as well. Management of the Sheraton and Kai must take a bow. This sort of service doesn't happen by accident. Just a wonderful evening for our 25th anniversary.
Best restaurant in Arizona by a mile. Even considering one needs a deep space probe or Boeing 747 to get there. To address this, the property offers a car service for a very reasonable charge (two-day advance notice required). Ordered the epic "Journey" tasting menu with wine pairing. Outstanding preparation only outdone by the taste. I eat at a lot of very nice restaurants and found myself wanting to take a picture of almost every course it was so masterfully prepared. The service is outstanding as well. I had arranged for a gift to be presented in some creative way at the table and was pleasantly caught by surprise. A must do at least once in a lifetime. It...is...pricey for the fullblown tasting menu but worth it.
We went to Kai for our anniversary and began the dinner with watching the sun set over the Estrella Mountain range. The service, menu and food preparation was beyond description. We have heard the term "Food Experience" and that was certainly what our two-and-half an hour meal was in every way. Even though the price of the dinner exceed $200 for two people, I would say that for the first time in my life, it was worth the price! If you want a wonderful meal, great service, and very romantic atmosphere, Kai is certainly the place to go. It is defintely worthy of the 5 star rating!
Our dinner was exceptional. The staff was the most knowledgeable , friendly and professional that we have experienced. All of our courses were artfully presented and the flavors were incredible . It is clear why Kai has be awarded the highest most prestigious ratings. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner even more special and beautiful .
It lives up to it's reputation of one Az's top restaurants- the food was creative and fantastic.
We had dinner with friends who travel across the world eating at great restaurants. Their assessment was that the Kai provided a memorable experience - wonderful food, outstanding service, and a beautiful sunset
Fabulous service and amazing food. Staff is very knowledgeable and make the evening an experience from the moment you arrive until driving away.
Food was incredible. Loved the presentation of each dish and the history that was shared. They were able to provide few options for those with food allergies. Servings of each course were large.
If it were possible to give more than 5 stars, i owuld do it. Food is great but the service and amenities were fantastic !
This was my second time here recently. I was not disappointed. The service is five star. The creative, delicious, and innovative. No doubt expensive but worth the splurge.
We enjoyed our meal at Kai -- great service and good food. One of the desserts ("Chocolate Wonderland") was pretty mediocre and the risotto served with the fantastic elk loin was poorly cooked, but the other dishes (lobster, escargot, lamb) were all nicely done.
This was my third trip to Kai, and I have been blown away every time. The food is incredible, mixing Native American ingredients with European (and other) influences. And service - I would give the service 10 stars if I could. From the moment you are greeted by the host staff to getting your car back from valet to find bottled water and chocolate in it, everyone in the party is made to feel special. Just an amazing experience all around and one of my favorite restaurants in the country.
This was our first time eating at Kai. It was nothing short of amazing. Food was excellent and service the best I have experienced. I would highly recommend this for a special occasion.
The food and service was excellent. Thanks to Feliciano. They had a car service option for $60 which was well worth it to not have to worry about having a couple cocktails and then being able to drive. The restaurant is pricey but definitely worth it if you're looking to splurge on a meal.
This restaurant was excellent! I dined with my boyfriend who is not a foodie by any means but appreciates a good meal. 3 days later he is still talking about his meal and spreading the word. This restaurant offers a complete dining package. There is a wonderful menu, great wine list and an opportunity to learn more about the Native American story. I would view this as a special occasion restaurant but after dinning there I can foresee multiple visits in the future.
This gem of a restaurant is set back from the highway quite a bit. Be prepared to feel like you have passed it or are going in the wrong direction. However, it is well worth it! The dishes are local sourced ingredients creatively combined to bring joy to your tastebuds. The service is attentive without being overbearing, adding to the experience. The valet service finishes the evening with chocolates and water awaiting you, as well as a personal note from you server. I will certainly be back and highly recommend dining here at least once.
This restaurant comes highly recommended, with 5-star reviews. It lives up to the hype in all categories; but is expensive, so I would consider it a special occasion restaurant. The presentations of each course are artistic as well as tasty. I took a picture of my salad, which was stunningly presented, and emailed it to all my foodie friends. The service is very attentive and, at times, apparently choreographed, presenting a somewhat amusing "march of the penguins," as the food was served simultaneously to all the diners at a table, by individual servers. I was happy to see that they don't take themselves too seriously, with all the master class food that comes out of the kitchen. It is definitely worth trying.
My wife and I can't say enough about the food, service and education about what we ate. New foods and old with a wonderful twist. If I were to say one negative, we were invited to wait in the lounge for our table. We ordered drinks and while I had a bar drink, my wife asked for a glass of wine. We took a seat by the fireplace. Very relaxing. My drink came. Her empty glass arrived but her wine did not. After six or seven minutes I asked if there was a problem and was told the sommelier was busy and would get to us. We waited another four or five minutes. Ten minutes after I'm served, my wife gets her wine. That was poor service. If my drink arrives, so should my wife's. And the delay is unexplainable.
Having dined at top restaurants in San Francisco and L.A. I can safely put Kai in that category. Everything was superb from the moment we walked in until we left nearly three hours later after dining on the "short" tasting menu. The creative cocktails and wine pairings were outstanding. The sommolier was top notch in his knowledge and selections. He even modified one wine tasting based on a substitution. I especially recommend the buffalo dish which can also be ordered as a main. It was the most tendor and flavorful I have ever had. This is truly a "bucket list" restaurant. You will be hard-pressed to find a gourmet restaurant anywhere that pairs Native American influences with French cooking tecniques. Don't miss it!
The setting, the service, the cuisine, the presentation were all five star. We were greeted at the entrance by our hostess and immediately brought to our table. Jeremy, our waiter, explained the menu and the art within the room. Our meals were delicious and the service was attentive but not obtrusive. The only small disappointment that we experienced was that our car was not waiting for us when we departed. On our last visit to this restaurant our car was waiting for us with bottled water and truffles. I hope this was just an oversight and not a change of policy.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. We opted to have the "Short Story" six course menu. It was anything but short and the experience lasted nearly 3 hours (which was perfect). I would pick a highlight but since everything was perfect I cannot. Beyond the outstanding food, the serving staff was perfectly present and not present when appropriate. We particularly enjoyed the various staff members engaged in short conversation in a way that was neither too much or rushed. In other words they were perfectly organized and able to spend the right mix of time with us. A nice touch at the end is a printed copy of what we ate/drank as obviously one would be hard pressed to remember all that detailVery memorable. Very memorable!
I have lived in New York City for most of my years, but have never had such a fine dining experience as my recent dinner at Kai restaurant in Arizona. In addition to the food, the welcome by the attentive and informative staff, the location in the midst of beautiful Indian Tribal land and the attention to detail made this a very special experience.

A practical plan for engaging the entire church in revolutionary disciple-making
We all want to do something revolutionary. I know I do. After 40 years in ministry, I can say that I have been involved in a life- and world-changing revolution. Will you join me in this mandate to any and every mature disciple of Christ?
This revolution started 2,000 years ago when Jesus uttered the words, "Follow me" to 12 men He would spend His time on earth with teaching and showing them what it meant to be His disciple. Through this simple concept, Jesus reproduced Himself in His followers.
The revolution continued as these disciples led by Peter established the early church, followed by Paul, who followed Jesus' ex-ample as he discipled Timothy, Titus and Silas.
Since then, faithful believers have sporadically picked up this spiritual fathering concept.
Call it what you want—mentoring, discipling, coaching or spiritual fathering or mothering—it all boils down to the idea of caring about each other's spiritual growth.
Paul grasped this truth when he told Timothy, "You then, my son, ... the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others" (2 Tim. 2:1-2, NIV). Paul exhorted his disciple, Timo-thy, to find another disciple who would disciple another.
My friend Charles wanted a mentor. He was eager to learn the ropes of ministry, so he asked an older pastor for training. The pastor agreed—but Charles soon realized the man wanted a valet, not an apprentice. Charles became the man's "armor bearer."
The man never took Charles on hospital visits, involved him in ministry assignments or prayed with him. Instead, Charles was expected to carry the pastor's briefcase, fetch coffee and take suits to the cleaners—with no salary offered. In this case, "armor bearer" was a spiritualized term for "slave."
This bizarre trend became popular in churches 20 years ago, but it still thrives. It appeals to insecure leaders who need an entourage to make them feel important. Some pastors have even assigned trainees to serve as bodyguards—complete with dark glasses and concealed weapons. These young men are instructed to keep people away from the pastor so he doesn't have to talk to anyone after a church service (because, after all, the poor preacher might be "drained of his anointing" if he fraternizes with common folks).
What's happened to real discipleship in America ... and how we can get back on track

Post if you want the code and I will send it
Heya guys I was bored and remembered a tool that ComSec posted so I decided to make my own version ....
Here it is, its very short code just to use the google translate servers as a proxy. Instead of opening up internet explorer it uses its own browser. I dont really know why I made this but perhaps one day it will come in useful.
Before anyone says I stole ComSecs code may I point out that he (to my knowledge) never released the code.
Posted 09 October 2004 - 12:51 PM
can u pm me the code ? that would be cool.
thanks in advance
Posted 09 October 2004 - 01:17 PM
your correct i never released any code to my tool.. because it was just a quick tool for the thread
if you want to go further with it... be my guest

There is one but I think it would be impossible:
Often URLs are scanned for key words e.g. if I was to type in photogaph-mayhem.com (just made it up) and the word photograph was beened then it would be seen in the URL behind the google bit. Is it possible to encode the URL to make this not happen? I thought about a simple character shift but that would require a server to be set up.
like a = b
b = c
c = d
client --- (encoded) ---> Server ---(decoded)---> google ----> web page
Any thoughts on whether I should do this? Would anyone use it??
Any other ideas?
Posted 09 October 2004 - 02:12 PM
i think this would bypass the keyword scanners
so long

Heres the function im working on for character shifting.
Function shifter(ByVal shifter As String)

Got a module of the web:
Function SF_replace(ByVal Haystack As String, ByVal Needle As String, ByVal NewNeedle As String) As String
'replace first occurence of needle in haystack with newneedle
'if needle is empty or not found, haystack is returned
'if needle is equal to haystack, newneedle is returned
'if needle is equal to newneedle, haystack is returned
'SF_replace(" This is my string ","my","your") returns " This is your string "
Dim i As Long
If SF_isNothing(Needle) Then
SF_replace = Haystack
If StrComp(Needle, NewNeedle, vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then
SF_replace = Haystack
i = InStr(1, Haystack, Needle, vbBinaryCompare)
If i = 0 Then
SF_replace = Haystack
SF_replace = SF_splitLeft(Haystack, Needle) & NewNeedle & SF_splitRight(Haystack, Needle)
End If
End If
End If
End Function

Global Expansion: PoP into Asia – Japan
By Todd Mitchell in Executive Blog, Infrastructure, SoftLayer, TechnologyBy the end of the year, SoftLayer's global network will include points of presence (PoPs) and data centers throughout Europe and Asia. As George explained in Globalization and Hosting: The World Wide Web is Flat, the goal is to bring SoftLayer's network within 40ms of everyone on the planet. One of the first steps in reaching that goal is to cross both of the "ponds" between our US facilities and our soon-to-open international facilities.
The location and relative size of Europe and Asia on that map may not make them viable resources when planning travel (Seattle actually isn't geographically closer to Tokyo than it is to San Jose), but they illustrate the connections we'll make to extend our network advantages to Singapore and Amsterdam.
Since I'm currently on-site in Singapore, I can give you an inside look at our expansion into Asia. The data center is coming along very nicely, but before I share any of the activity from that construction process, I wanted to share a little about a stopover I had on my trip from Dallas to Singapore: Tokyo!
Last week, we began the process of installing and lighting our first Asian point of presence in Tokyo, Japan, and after a few long days of work, it's all racked and stacked. If you're familiar with SoftLayer, you're probably aware that we build our data centers in a pod concept for a number of reasons, and our network points of presence are no different … One funny aspect of being so familiar with the infrastructure in all of our other locations is that when we walk out the door of the data center facility, we get inundated with culture shock all over again.
SoftLayer VP of Network Operations and Engineering Will Charnock just finished the process of building the network PoP in Hong Kong, and you might see a few (similar looking) pictures from Tokyo and Hong Kong in the near future when we're ready to open those new PoPs to customer traffic. And don't worry … I'll be sure to sneak a few shots of the Singapore DC progress for you too.

Posted by JabarkusRussell on 12/9 at 3:49 pm to TulaneUVA Marv has a great scream. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Papercutninja on 12/10 at 11:35 am to JabarkusRussell (1) The amount of parental negligence is truly staggering. Why haven't the McAllister's noted that their overweight aggressive son has a food stash in his room coupled with pornography. It is clear that his over aggressive tendencies and excessive over eating and masterbation habits are turning him into some sort of sexual deviant who would likely slaughter them all in their sleep. Also, I know it's the early 90's, but what family with a $2 million home in the suburbs of the mean streets of Chicago doesn't have an alarm system. (2) Any local police agency in an affluent suburb would be conducting regular patrols in an area where the townspeople are known to take long vacation trips. The old lady down my street complained about the fire trucks using our street as a passing corridor and now they aren't allowed down our street unless they are on a call. You mean to tell me a street full of upper middle class likley millionaires aren't going to have private police patrol? Whatevs. (3) Kevin's knowledge of physics, probabilities, espionage and diversionary tactics would put his IQ somewhere in the range of genius. However, his skills of logic and deduciton haven't shown him that the furnace is indeed not a living entity that should be feared. (4) The Wet Bandits are the worst criminals I have ever seen or heard of. They choose to divest themselves of the protection of anonymity by leaving a "calling card" at the scene of every crime. Wouldn't the water company make a house call due to excessive usage in the area? In addition they choose to enter the homes throught various back doors and windows, rather than simply kicking in the front door and closing it behind them. IRL: Harry and Marv break into the house via the front door and do a quick sweep to secure the perimiter. While doing so, fully shoed, they crunch on ornaments and knock over a precariously placed fan with feather's nearby. They see a small boy at the top of the staircase and easily assail that steps two at a time and overtake the small boy attempting to throw full paint cans with his puny arms. Harry then questions the boy while Marv checks the rest of the house. Upon Marv's return he finds Harry standing over the body of young Kevin, having accidentially suffocated the child while trying to keep him from screaming so much. After a brief argument, Marv and Harry carry the limp body of the child to the basement where the furnace, that was once a source of so much fear in Kevin's life, finally is used to incinerate his body. His parents return home to find the house ransacked. Kevin's parents never find their son and their marriage crumbles after a having to defend themselves on child neglect charges and many years of guilt. Kevin's father leaves Chicago, while Kevin's mother stays in the house and turns to alcohol and barbituates as a means to cope. She dies of an overdose 7 years later. The house is sold and while a home inspector checks the furnace, the tiny femur bones and skull fragments of Kevin McAllister are found in the bottom of the furnace. At the side of the furnace lies a box of Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese with the words, "For Kevin" written on the front. FIN Reply Back to Top |
Posted by CocomoLSU on 12/10 at 11:59 am to Papercutninja Just wanted to say that I went to a Christmas party last night where you dress up as one of your favorite Christmas movie characters. And I went as Kevin McAlister. I came pretty close, although fricking Wal-Mart didn't have a red sweater in a size that would fit me (one small and one 3XL ). But I walked around the party all night with a BB gun on my back and spouting out quotes the whole time. Also, there was randomly a dude there dressed as Marv. Had the sticky bandits glove on (with coins on it) and an iron imprint drawn on his face. We took a picture together. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Papercutninja on 12/10 at 2:01 pm to elprez00 I was going to include a part were Harry sexually assaults Kevin while Marv is out, like in From Dusk Til Dawn, but it is the holidays. As an aside, how come no one has ever discussed the way that Kevin devised these booby traps. He was seriously just short of the Viet Cong. A tar covered foot being pierced by a rust nail, sharp glass in those same damaged feet. Branding via the doorknob. Flame thrower to the face. Deadly tarantuala bites. I half expected Harry and Marv to step on shite covered bamboo reeds or have a three year old Vietnamese toddler walk up to them holding a grenade with the pin pulled. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by saintsfan92612 on 12/10 at 2:25 pm to Papercutninja Well, the kid obviously had issues. But he also had a certain intellect to him. He was able to see that since the wet bandits were fooled by lights and silhouettes, then it would be easy to trick them. That is where his mind devised these evil schemes that he probably had planned to use on his family at one point. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Papercutninja on 12/10 at 3:04 pm to ProjectP2294 My wife and a friend watched it with me last Christmas when it was on HBO. I feel like the fact that we were drinking added to our ability to see the movie for what it is. Essentially this movie was a propaganda film wherein John Hughes and Chris Columbus make their case for the use of child soldiers. Do you really think it was a coincidence that so many African nations began using child soldiers during the conflicts of the 1990's? Something to think about... Reply Back to Top |

Each year the Tomahawk Elementary and Middle schools put on a Veterans Day ceremony inviting the public and all veterans to attend.
This year, there were three very special veterans in the audience who were about to get a big surprise.
Thanks to Tomahawk students who raised $1,500, three veterans will take the Never Forgotten Honor Flight this April.
They were surprised during Monday's Veterans Day celebration at the school complex, which this year centered around the organization that takes veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials made in their honor.
"My wife knew it a week before I did and she kept it a secret so oh I was surprised," said Jim Likwarz, a Korean war veteran who was in the Air Force.
Likwarz, along with John Gwidt Jr. who also served in the Korean War and Robert LaNou who served in WWII, will take the flight, visit the memorials and be welcomed back home in style.
That's something many of them didn't have when they served our country.
"There was three troop ships came back, there was approximately 15,000 on each ship but there was no great celebration for greeting us," Likwarz said.
Likwarz, who enlisted in the Air Force at age 20 in 1950, can remember almost everything about that trip home right before Christmas.
"We hadn't been paid, we were broke and couldn't do much," he said. "I did telegram home for some money, my parents sent me 20 dollars and by the time I lent this guy 5 dollars and this guy 2 dollars I didn't have much left for myself," he remembers.
Likwarz is looking forward to seeing all of the memorials in our nation's capitol and to have a proper welcome home.
Students raised most of the money through a nickel war between classes. They also held a bake sale and sold green and gold beads.
"Our student council thought it would be great to honor our veterans and to not forget them but to remember them," said Richelle Swan, a 5th grader.
Sometimes the concept of Veterans Day is difficult for elementary students to comprehend, but Tomahawk students do appreciate our veterans which was made clear thanks to their generosity.

Q: My friends and I do a lot of our own work on weekends and always argue on where to buy the parts. I always recommend buying the parts at the dealer, and he always wants to go to the big-box auto stores. I have heard that the parts at the big auto stores are not as good as the dealer parts and they are a lot less money. What are your thoughts?
A: Great question, and the answer is twofold. If you are buying name-brand parts such as A/C, Fram, Delco, Autolite, Dayco or any other popular brand, you're OK. I would not suggest buying cheap parts such as brakes and exhaust. The cleaning products are name brand good. The lifetime warranty is another plus for the store name brands. If you do buy the store brand make sure it is the top-quality product.

Moore – 360 and PS3 Grand Slam Tennis will be released, will use motion tech
EA Sports is still planning on releasing 360 and PS3 versions of Grand Slam Tennis, division boss Peter Moore's told VG247, but only when motion controllers have launched for both systems.
Moore delayed the games in August following the release of a MotionPlus-compatible Wii version.
"You will do on the new motion technologies," Moore said when asked if we'll see the 360 and PS3 SKUs actually make it to market.
"One thing that becamse glaringly obvious is that once you started playing Wii MotionPlus tennis and then you go back to [traditional controllers]."
Moore added that MotionPlus had "ruined" tennis games on standard controllers for him, but reiterated that the success of EA Sports Active had been an equal part of the decision to slip.
"It's two things," he said. "Active is such a powerful platform that we have to bring in resources to take advantage of that and get more stuff coming down the pipe.
"Secondly we've decided just to wait for Natal and for the Sony motion controller to come out."
Natal is expected late next year, while Sony's motion tech should release next spring.
Moore was speaking at GamesCom in Cologne.

Kitase: DLC being considered for future Final Fantasy projects
Square's Yoshi Kitase and Motomu Toriyama told VG247 during GamesCom, that downloadable content is being considered for future Final Fantasy titles, but for now, nothing is set in stone for Final Fantasy XIII.
"As far as DLC is concerned, there is no solid plan at the moment for FFXIII," said Kitase, speaking through his translator. "However, we've been listening to overseas fans in Europe and North America and are aware that DLC is very popular and something that people really want.
"So it's definitely being considered for future projects."
Kitase stated previously, that should any DLC for FFXIII be released, it would be something along the lines of new items, areas or enemies, and not something that would tie into the story.

Kitase: Final Fantasy titles shouldn't take as long to develop in the future
At GamesCom, Yoshi Kitase and Motomu Toriyama from Square Enix told VG247 that Final Fantasy games shouldn't take as long to develop in the future.
During the conversation, we mentioned CEO of Square Enix Yoichi Wada's comment regarding the firm "taking too long to produce games", to see if they were in agreement.
Us at GamesCom: Yoichi Wada has said that he wants the development rate to go a bit faster. Is this possible and what is the development team doing to help speed things along for the future?
FFXIII's Yoshi Kitase and Motomu Toriyama, speaking through a translator: For FFXIII there are a lot of firsts, and because it's a new console that the teams are working on, it took a little time for the team to get used to everything. Now that they have the engine built for it the basics are covered, so the development time for future projects should be shortened.
Still, it may not be as simple as Wada thinks (laughing).
Hopefully, what this means, is that it won't take what feels like ten years in between titles.

Ass Creed II boss – "Some juice left in me" for third game
Assassin's Creed is a very buyable game. And what happens to buyable games? They get sequels. And sometimes they get second sequels. And sometimes the developers working on them get so engrossed they're prepared to dump a decade of their careers on one franchise.
"No, not yet," said Patrice Desilets, Assassin's Creed II's creative director, when we asked him if he was ready to move off the IP now the second game is nearing completion.
"I have many different ideas. I'm not ready yet to exploit them. I think I have some juice left in me left to continue this."
Assassin's Creed has long been confirmed as a trilogy, and Desilets told us that change of scenery and opportunity to hone gameplay elements keeps his job fresh.
"I've been doing Assassin's Creed games for the past six years," he said. "It's tough to be bored.
"I was a bit bored with the Turk crusade and the monk aspect, and everything, but in this there's a brand new setting. And it's my first sequel; I never did a sequel before, because I didn't do any Prince of Persia sequels.
"I love the idea of refining your ideas, the gameplay and what you can do with it," he added.
"So I'm not bored yet."
Assassin's Creed II releases on November 20. We doubt you'll be bored of it either.

Rockstar: LA Noire still in development
It's been so long since we've seen a single thing from the game, but Rockstar has confirmed that LA Noire is still in development over at Team Bondi.
The news came from a closed doors press conference for the publisher at GamesCom earlier this month, although nothing more was mentioned on the game.
The publisher only talked in depth about future stuff, including Gay Tony, Red Dead Redemption and GTA: Chinatown Wars for the PSP during the conference.
Thanks, PS3Center.

FFXIV non-level system will "make sense," assures Tanaka
Final Fantasy XIV producer Hiromichi Tanaka has said to VG247 that the MMO's level system, similar to that of Ultima Online, will "make sense" to players when the game launches next year.
"From MMO history, from the beginning, [games like] Ultima Online had a similar, skill-based system, so we do believe it will make sense to our players," he said.
"What we're trying to provide to our players is flexibility. They don't have to stick to one job: by providing this system they'll be able to enjoy a variety of classes."
Explaining exactly how the system's going to work, the developer added:
"This time it's not going to be just by killing monsters that you'll gain experience points, but by using the weapon you hold in your hand, you'll gain skills for that class. So, if you change your weapon you'll change your class. You can change your class even between the battles; not during the battles."
2010 is when you can see this one for PS3 and PC.

Surnames may help FFXI-FFXIV character name transfer, says Tanaka
Surnames may be introduced help character name transfers between Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV, producer Hironichi Tanaka told VG247 in Cologne two weeks ago.
"We're trying to find a way so people can transfer their names to FFXIV. However, for FFXI we had 32 worlds, and each character had to have a unique name in each world, so if they move to XIV there might be a conflict, so what we're trying to introduce is surnames for the characters so people can keep their original names but add something else to it to make it more unique," said the developer.
Tanaka also told us that FFXIV isn't Final Fantasy XI-2, but steps are being taken to ensure vets from the older MMO can make an easy transition, should they wish.
"FFXIV is not going to be like the second version of FFXI – we're trying to make a totally new game," he said.
"However, to help the people that are playing FFXI, we're introducing similar races… so they won't feel total strangers to the game."
FFXIV's out for PS3 and PC in 2010.

FFXIV: "Unique" setting to have own religion
Final Fantasy XIV world Eorzea will have it's own religion, producer Hiromichi Tanaka told VG247 at GamesCom earlier this month.

"It will have its own religion. It'll be a really unique type of world," said Tanaka of the MMO.
He added: "This time with the world of Eorzea, what we're trying to achieve is a very unique world. It's going to be difficult to say whether it's in the future or in the past. It'll have some type of sci-fi element to it, and at the same time having medieval elements, so it's really going to be difficult to say what type of world it's going to be."

Tanaka "very pleased" Uematsu agreed to score FFXIV
Final Fantasy XIV producer Hiromichi Tanaka has told VG247 he's thrilled famed composer of previous FF musical scores Nobuo Uematsu has taken on the game's full soundtrack.
"Yes, very pleased," he said when asked if he's happy Uematsu's on board for the MMO.
"I've been working with Uematsu since the beginning of the Final Fantasy series. Even when Mr Uematsu left Square Enix, we still went drinking together. We're good friends."
Tanaka, speaking at GamesCom, added: "As he's very busy, we didn't expect him to do all of the music for FFXIV, but this time he kindly suggested that he would take care of the whole [score]."
Uematsu left Square Enix in 2004 alongside FF creator Hironobu Sakaguchi to become a freelancer composer, although he does tend to contribute pieces since leaving the publisher, including the main theme to Final Fantasy XIII.
Game's out next year for PS3 and PC.

EA prez admits to "unclear" future for music peripherals
EA president Frank Gibeau has told GI.biz that the future of music peripherals is a bit "unclear" thank to recent weak sales of Rock Band.
However, he does feel that the stand alone discs sales are still positive, and will bring about a nice finish to the year.
"Plastic's way down, so a lot of the music category stuff is not as robust as it's been, and it's unclear whether a lot of this peripheral activity that's happening is going to stick," he told the site during GamesCom. "125, 115, 99 dollar price points for these things – it appears to have gone soft right now in the market place.
"But for standalone software titles that are high quality, from us? I feel good about it. I look at our first half, our Q2, I feel good about our company, our line-up. We're not as exposed to some of those other issues – year-on-year our Q4 is going to be very dramatic in terms of the titles released."

Think GoldenEye when console RTS gets tough, says GPG's Taylor
RTS is still finding its place on consoles, Gas Powered Games CEO Chris Taylor told VG247 at GamesCom last week, but at one time so were shooters.
The developer, currently hard at work on Supreme Commander 2 for both PC and 360, told us that not all gamers wish to go out and purchase a gaming rig just to play an RTS: therefore, the genre must come to them.
"Think about GoldenEye on the N64. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Like, I didn't die for it," said Taylor.
"It's like, I thought, 'This is pretty OK', but I fought with the controls a little bit. Nobody at that time would have said, 'Shooters? On consoles?' Now, some shooters do better on the console than they do on the PC. Halo, for example. Wow, we've come a long way.
"I keep remembering that if you can go into that market, and you can solve it, there is an upside there."
Back in June, Taylor assured fans that more development time and more resources were being poured into Supreme Commander 2 on 360 after the first port received such a lukewarm reception.

Namco Bandai confirms Clash of the Titans for 2010
Namco Bandai announced during GamesCom that a game based on the movie remake of the Clash of the Titans is in the works for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Somehow we missed this last week, but its expected to land on shelves alongside the film March 26.
Currently in development with Game Republic, the hack-and-slash action-adventure game will follow the movie but expand the universe a bit, like most movie-based games.
More than 100 creatures from Greek mythology are in the game and locations range from ancient Greek monuments to snow and lava rich areas.Expect the usual Greek creature fodder -centaurs, minotaurs, wraiths, dragons, ogres and you just know Medusa will be in it.
Hopefully the centuries have helped heal her issues over her appearance- but don't count on it.

Aliens and Predators still relevant, say Sega and Rebellion
Aliens and Predators may have been de rigueur back in the 80s, but they're just as relevant now as they ever were, AvP dev Tim Jones told us at GamesCom.
"I think it's still very much relevant to the younger audience," said the Rebellion man.
"The comics and graphic novels still sell well, and the recent movies, the AvP and AvP2 movies, have reached a wide audience in many respects. They reached a bigger box office than the previous movies.
"I think there's a huge appetite out there for these characters and the universe we're exploring."
Sega's Rob Bartholemew added that the shooter's setting has been modernised over the classic films.
"The story itself is set 30 years on from Alien 3 in terms of age and timeline, so marine technology's moved on," he said.
"It's still recognisable, but you'll notice they they've got updated armour, slightly updated weapons. We're making it more contemporary in this game than… the 80s sci-fi that was inherent in some of the films."
AvP's out on 360, PS3 and PC early next year. Hit this for multiplayer details from Germany last week.

FF bosses: No FFVII remake project "yet," play PSN release "for the time being"
Here, we have a handful of straws. You're welcome to grasp at some, should you feel the need.
Us at GamesCom: Will we ever see a remake of Final Fantasy VII?
FFXIII's Yoshi Kitase and Motomu Toriyama, speaking through a translator: There's no official project that's up and running for a remake of Final Fantasy VII at this point. Both Toriyama-san and Kitase-san were involved in the development of the game, however, and it holds a special place in their hearts. They do talk about it on a personal level, like, 'If we did it it would be like this or like that.'
So, they do talk about it, but there's no official project yet. But there's that PSN release that just came out, so if you could play that for the time being, it should be fun.
So there you go. Fin. For now.

16 Questions from the Community
can i use the magsafe to magsafe 2 converter on my old magsafe charger to charge my 13" macbook pro late 2011 model?
- Asked by George A from Los Angeles
- Nov 6, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
Can I use the converter with a Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter
I have a MacBook Pro and several Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapters. I have just ordered a 13" Macbook Air, can I use the 60W MagSafe Power Adapters plus a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter with my Macbook Air?
I would have thought so but on the product info page for the Converter it shows compatibility with the following adapters:
Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adapter
Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter- Asked by Antony D

MagSafe to MagSafe2 & rMBP - Does it charge the rMBP while in use?
Equipment: 2012 rMBP, 2008 23" Cinema Dislay, MagSafe to MagSafe2 adapter.
Tonight I hooked up my retina macbook pro to my cinema display via the MagSafe to MagSafe2 adapter and noticed that while the rMBP received power, it wasn't charging the battery while I used the computer.
I've read various reports online about the MacBook air being able to receive both power and battery charge simultaneously, probably because it's power needs are 45w compared to the rMBP's 85w.
My experience so far says that the MagSafe to MagSafe2 adapter will NOT charge a rMBP while it's in use. Is this correct?- Asked by Michael M from Highlands Ranch

Best AnswerI am not a Genious Bar Apple employee but I do own a 13" MacBook Air, the 13" MacBook (Mid 2005), 15 inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2008), 13" Macbook Pro (Mid 2011) and two White mid 2006 MacBooks-- Just to name a few
The air requires 45 watts, MacBooks require 60, and the 15"/17" Pro's require 85 watts.
45w Megsafe Air charger will only charge the Air although a higher watt charger will charge it as well
60 Watt Mega safe. Charger that comes with the all 13" MacBook's and Pros are as well as the air
Whilst the The 85 watt Megasafe charger is intended For Macs 15" & 17"; it is my charger of choice b/c it charges all Intell based Macs including the air- Answered by Joseph A from Livonia

Can I use this mag safe converter with a 27-inch LED cinema display 2 and my new retina display 15" macbook?
- Asked by Helen T from Sydney
- Apr 8, 2013

AnswerThe 27" Thunderbolt Display ships with the MagSafe adapter and I have it hooked up to my Retina MacBook Pro without any issues so It should be fine with the 27" Cinema LED Display.

Might be a "duh" question, but it wouldn't work on a 2008, 17" MacBook Pro would it???
Somehow the magnetic head of my 85W (model A1222) power adapter tore. It will charge but I have to jiggle it a bit to stay. I was hoping the MagSafe 2 converter would fit this particular portal.
- Asked by Shaina H from Richond
- Oct 1, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerNo, that won't work. The converter only connects the fatter, shorter "old" style mag safe connector to the newer, thinner "new" style.
Breakage of the type that you described is common. Apple has some kind of special campaign -- google "apple magsafe replacement" and the link -- to Apple's support website, which link I am not allowed to paste into this message -- will be displayed.- Answered by Kevin W from Hendersonville

The Mag Safe Plug for the Air is different than the MBP. Will this adaptor work on the MBA
- Asked by Mike M from Uniontown
- Jun 15, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerAlthough I don't own one (yet) from looking in to this the answer seems to be:
- Yes, this will work if you have an old MagSafe power adapter for a MBP and want to use it to charge a computer using the newer MagSafe 2 port
- Using a higher rated power adapter is NOT a problem - will only supply the power that the computer connected needs, so no damage, no faster charging than normal
- Using a lower rated power adapter IS a problem as it will not supply enough power

Which end is which?
There is a standard for describing electrical connections that is not used here. For 115 V AC, on the end of a cable one plugs into an outlet is a MALE connector. The outlet is a FEMALE connector. Is this gizmo a MALE MagSafe2 and FEMALE MagSafe1, or is it a MALE MagSafe1 and FEMALE MagSafe2. I think it is the former, but it's hard to be sure from the description.
MALE MagSafe2 and FEMALE MagSafe1 would allow charging of a newer computer with an older power adapter.
MALE MagSafe1 and FEMALE MagSafe2 would allow charging of an older computer with a newer power adaptor.
Each task is going to be desired by some users. Why is there only one kind of adapter?- Asked by William P from Seattle

Will this allow me to use my old MagSafe model A1222 Adapter with the new Retina Mb Pro? Thanks!
Just want to be sure it's not too old to power the new model.
- Asked by Matt R from San Diego
- Jun 12, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes it will, the A1222 is the 85W model which is the power needed to charge the 15" model MacBook Pro (Retina and Non-Retina). With this you'll be all set!

Will it be faster?
MagSafe 2 has 85W as opposed to Magsafe's 45W.
I assume this means MagSafe 2 chargers will charge quicker?
If so, using the adapter on the lower one (45w) will be slower?
Thanks- Asked by Loic V
- Aug 12, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerThe converter doesn't change your charging speeds at all, it just allows you to connect your old MagSafe cord to the new MagSafe 2 plug.
Obviously a 45W will be slower than a 85W in terms of charging speeds. Just expect to see the same speeds with or without the converter.- Answered by Josh W from Kalamazoo

Is it better to get the adapter or just buy a new Magsafe 2 power supply?
I've got a brand new 2012 Macbook Air. Given my travels, I definitely need an extra power supply. I have some extra original Magsafe supplies (85W). I'm trying to decide if it will be better to get the adapter or get a new power supply.
- Asked by Henry H from Palo Alto
- Aug 17, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerMy advice would be to buy one of these due to the extreme difference in cost. Use one of your old chargers plugged in to your desk at home (or wherever you normally charge at home) with this adapter.
Save your new adapter for "mobile" use... take it with you when you travel.
I have my old, original magsafe adapter that came with my Jan 2006 macbook pro plugged in at my desk at home. It's lasted so long simply because it stays in that one location and never moves. So leave your old charger at home with the magsafe adapter since the old one is more likely to fail if you continue to use/abuse it (simply because it's older).- Answered by Steven E from Jericho

NewActon Nishi
25 Edinburgh Avenue
Canberra ACT 2601
68 rooms 28 apartments
Hotel Hotel is now bookable for stays from November 29, 2013 onwards.
As the capital of Australia, Canberra is the place where some of the countrys largest cultural institutions are found and best exhibitions occur. The city is clustered around Lake Burley Griffin and surrounded by hills of native eucalypt forests and diverse wildlife, hence its nickname the bush capital. The NewActon precinct is Canberras new cultural hub, the main place where business and culture travelers, art lovers, university students and locals all mingle.
One uniquely Australian hotel stands out in this distinctive destination: Hotel Hotel, a holistic concept from the Australia-based Molonglo Group, founded on fertile principles of sustainability, community, diversity and lifestyle. Its a place for People People. The hotel is located on three levels of the Nishi residential building, a sustainable vertical village that contains within it facilities delivering the best of global cinema, independent book and pop-up stores, music and local cafes and bars.
An exquisite grand stair, hand crafted from re-used and salvaged timbers, leads visitors to a hotel foyer more reminiscent of a living room than a lobby. The hotel public spaces are fashioned from humble materials, in unexpected ways that celebrate creative imagination and encourage diverse and intimate social uses day and night. Bespoke furniture commissions, art and collected objects feature in all the Hotel Hotel spaces and rooms. Monumental land art works by Danish artist Alfio Bonanno and New York-based Steven Siegel bind the Nishi architecture to its immediate physical location and greater aspirational landscapes. 68 hotel rooms and 28 hotel apartments offer a rich mix of spaces, clothed in the raw organic beauty of natural materials to suit every guest: from cosy to meandering, no two rooms are exactly alike. The overall result is a place where guests are brought into contact with art, nature and each other.
In the living art and design precinct of NewActon in Canberra, the holistic vertical village Hotel Hotel is a groundbreaking concept that embraces the cultural, emotional and intellectual life of the Australian capital.
Hotel Hotel is situated at the shores of Lake Burley Griffin within the Nishi building at NewActon in Central Canberra. NewActon is known as the cool and cultural precinct of the Australian capital.
A wide array of cultural and social events is offered continuously throughout NewActon from poetry slams to music gigs and arts festivals. Within a 15-minute bike ride from the hotel unfolds extraordinary native bush land with endless walking, bike and horse riding trails. In the winter months and only two hours away from Hotel Hotel are Australias premier ski ranges.

Taking Back the Tap – One City at a Time
Grand Rapids, Michigan is the next U.S. city to join the effort to "Take Back The Tap." Following New York, San Francisco and Portland, the Midwestern city has pledged to stop using bottled water in city facilities or at its events.
Take Back The Tap is a two-pronged campaign. It convinces businesses to switch from bottled water to tap water and then further asks people to petition congress for a public trust fund that will finance water infrastructure.
Grand Rapids officially joined this movement Tuesday, as the city promised to stop buying bottled water for use in city facilities or at city events. "Tap water is a better choice than the bottled brands, for our health, our environment and our wallets," said Mayor George Heartwell.
The city resolution notes that in 2006 Americans bought 33 billion bottles of water, which requires nearly 900,000 tons of plastic and more than 17 million barrels of oil for production. This is outrageous! According to the resolution, bottled water, at $1 per pint, is 2,400 times more expensive than tap water for residents. City water is less than a penny per gallon.
Hopefully other major cities will follow their lead. And fast.
