The increasing prevalence of poverty in the United States is an inexcusable shame on this great nation. More Americans are living in poverty today than at any other time since the Census Bureau began measuring its occurrence. The issue of poverty has many complexities, but it is much more than an abstract condition for the over 40 million Americans who face daily struggles with food security, access to health care, and lack of basic shelter.
Forty years ago the Housing Assistance Council (HAC) was created to address poverty and housing inadequacies in rural America. In 1984, HAC published Taking Stock, one of the first comprehensive assessments of rural poverty and housing conditions in the United States. A key component of that seminal report was HAC's national poverty map detailing poverty rates for every U.S. county in 1980. As a companion to 2012 edition of Taking Stock: Rual People, Poverty, and Housing in the 21st Century, HAC presents our newly updated poverty map, entitled "Poverty in the United States." The map shows county-level poverty data from 2010 Census counts.

Download HAC's Rural Research Note: Poverty in Rural America. |
While some gains have been made in reducing poverty over the past several decades, poverty rates are still shockingly high for certain populations in rural America, namely minorities and children. HAC's research also illustrates the continued persistence of high poverty within several predominantly rural regions and populations such as Central Appalachia, the Lower Mississippi Delta, the southern Black Belt, the Colonias region along the U.S.-Mexico border, Native American lands, and migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Often forgotten or hidden from mainstream America, these areas and
populations had poverty rates of 20 percent or higher in 1990, 2000, and 2010.
HAC's poverty map presents the stark reality that too many Americans have been left behind or shut out of our nation's economic promise and prosperity.
In the coming months, HAC will present additional research products highlighting social, economic, and housing characteristics of rural Americans.

Ryde Theatre, which is to be sold by the Isle of Wight Council. Picture by Robin Crossley.
THE sale of Ryde Theatre to an unnamed events company has been confirmed by the Isle of Wight Council this afternoon (Tuesday).
The iconic building will be sold for £400,000 in a deal which will see the new owners re-open the venue as a theatre and live entertainment venue and operate the Lind Street public toilets at their expense.
The decision was taken by deputy leader and cabinet member for the economy and regulatory services, Cllr George Brown, under delegated powers.
It emerged, through papers issued with a report into the decision, that Ryde Town Council wrote to the Isle of Wight Council expressing its disappointment that neither they nor the local community had been consulted during the disposal process.
They raised concerns that no condition had been placed on the sale to secure the building's future use as a venue, and that the value of the final bids was well below the true value of the land and buildings.
Town councillors also called for a clawback clause which would ensure that should the site ever be developed or resold, the local community would receive some benefit from the proposed sale.
Cllr Brown said the town council had never approached the Isle of Wight Council to discuss any aspect of the sale of the building.
He said it was entirely appropriate for the council to advertise the sale without restriction having previously marketed the building with a condition it should be retained as a theatre when just three bids were received.
Of those, only one was deemed acceptable and that fell through.
Cllr Brown said the building had been marketed for well over six months and the two highest bids were within £10,000 of each other.
"We must also take into account that the estimated bill to put the whole building in good order is £1.8m and that it is a listed building."

The council have known exactly what they are doing with the building since they commisioned the feasibility study three years ago...three options where provided too them...none of which maintained it as a venue.....we elected a Tory council...we got what we deserve...chance to make amends for that nest year

Au revoir Roger Miller
While there aren't a lot of details available, the good folks at Thai Derm say a new dining spot will soon be taking over. Had it not been for the blizzard, a new place might have thrown its doors open already. Word has it that we're getting a Peruvian chicken outpost. Now don't confuse this with the new Portuguese chicken restaurant, Nando's Peri Peri, that is supposedly opening a place on Ellsworth in the Peterson Development. However there is no mention of that on the company's website.
While I doubt a Peruvian chicken shack will hold much interest for me, I'll be curious to see what they have to offer. I can't say that I'll miss Roger Miller all that much. It's a good thing that Cafe d'Abidjan opened a couple miles south of RM on Georgia Ave for the next time I'm in the mood for some west African fare.
And if anyone has any details on the closing of RM or the new restaurant taking its place, please shoot me a note. Thanks.
8 comments:
I spoke with someone at Foulger-Pratt who said Nando's was going in the old Bombay Company location, but they hadn't finalized all the terms of the lease. Once they've done that, a public announcement will be made. Can't wait...love me some Nando's :)

Does any one know where the came up with the "Roger Miller" name? It always seemed like a very, very odd name for a West African restaurant. My wife broke out in "King of the Road" every time we passed that place.

SoCo: Good skullduggery. I'm really disappointed it's going to be a chicken shack, though.
- February 22, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Add me to the list of people unhappy to see another chicken place open up. We've already got a decent one on Colesville opposite the AFI so why do we need another. Why not open up something people want like a wine bar. No, I don't mean like Adega, I mean like a real wine bar not some fast-food version of a wine bar. Adega makes me angry just thinking about it.
However, in the category of good news, I did see a sign saying that the Hook & Ladder BrewPub is finally opening in October of 2014. - February 22, 2010 at 10:38 PM

Curious to hear if others folks think the 'hood could support an honest to goodness wine bar (a la Cork in DC) or something similar, like a somewhat upscale place doing small plates. That certainly is my restaurant ambition. I think Cork is fab and would undoubtedly spend way too much money if I could walk to an establishment like that - unless I happen to run it myself. Then I would eat/drink all the profits - still bad.
- February 23, 2010 at 9:26 AM
Oh yeah, a wine bar would be great! I think DTSS could support it.
Has anyone been to Mrs. K's (fairly) new French wine cellar? It's really wonderful, but alas too pricey for regular attendance.
As for Adega: I really like the place. It doesn't claim to be a wine bar, but what it does, it does well. Good food (not gourmet, but good), decent wines by the glass, and a good selection of wines of sale coupled with friendly and helpful salespeople. It's an adult oasis from the junk across the street on Hellsworth. - February 23, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Definitely agree on Adega, it doesn't pretend to be a wine bar at all. Good place to hangout and have a bite.
That having been said I think a true wine bar would be perfect here and it would do well.
Finally, since someone brought it up, does anyone have any clue as to when Hook and Ladder will actually open? I walked by on my way to Olazzo the other day and it doesn't seem to be making much progress. Such a shame that MoCo makes it a hellish experience for businesses to open. Perhaps it's time for some grassroots activism to get some change in this county....anyone? - February 23, 2010 at 7:39 PM

Issue #1
Don't settle. Say "fuck this" and up and leave. Don't be grown up about it, because if you're not happy about something there's probably a good reason. Don't sit around waiting for the boy who makes you feel more lonely than anything else. Most of all, when there's a boy who tries to abandon you, don't run after him saying "please don't abandon me". If birds wasted saliva chirping "please don't fly away", Asians wouldn't make a roaring business out of birds' nest soup. Don't be afraid to say you're worth more, because, angel, you probably are.

COLUMBIA CITY ã Whitley Countyãs law enforcement officers are getting more than the average training this week. Whitley Countyãs Sheriffãs Department rented a F.A.T.S (firearms training simulator) and every officer in the county is scheduled to use it this week.
WCSD Chief Deputy Marcus Gatton said the simulator brings real-life experience to training.
ãThe F.A.T.S machine sharpens us up and keeps us from becoming complacent,ã Gatton said. ãWith all of the different environmental settings it gave us, we could never duplicate that in a shooting range setting.ã
The F.A.T.S. machine sets up a variety of scenarios, including schools, businesses, traffic stops and domestic situations.Depending on the officers response and commands in each situation, the training officer has the ability to escalate, or de-escalate, the scenario as it is being played out.
ãWe can replay the scene and break it down frame by frame, or shot by shot,ã Gatton said. ãItãs nice because we can talk to each officer about why they shot, or didnãt shoot.ã
The guns used in the simulator recoil and the officer has to change the magazine.
ãWeãre getting the feel and function of a gun without the cost of live ammunition,ã Gatton said. ãItãs not ãtrue lifeã but itãs still a very valuable training.ã
Pepper spray, flash lights and tasers can also be used with the F.A.T.S. training system. Gatton said the training prepares officers for situations such as the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.
ãWe can make a mistake and learn from it, without it effecting us adversely,ã Gatton said.
He said the approximate cost for the machine came out to $33 per officer ã much cheaper than sending them out of town for training.
ãWe donãt have hotel, gas and ammunition costs,ã Gatton said. ãPlus, all of the employees are doing the training during their paid shift, so we arenãt putting extra hours into it.ã
Gatton said approximately 72 officers will do the training, some of them more than once. Deputies and confinement officers from the WCSD, CCPD officers, Churubusco and South Whitley Police officers, as well as reserve officers will complete the training.
ãSo far itãs been a hit with the guys,ã Gatton said. ãSome of them have been worn out by the end of the scenarios.ã

The ongoing coordinated actions in Libya to remove Qaddafi if that is the actual purpose is adding to the nervousness prompting new buying in crude oil. Other producing areas experiencing turmoil include Yemen and Syria where protesters are being killed as well. The emphasis of the U.S. administration and NATO appears to be consolidated with Libya however, and that confuses those of us who prefer not to be involved with overthrowing governments no matter how violent. We would like to know where it will all end so that we can properly assess commodity prices, currencies, interest rates and their impact on global economies. At the moment I hesitate in making recommendations simply because too many factors impact the markets we follow. Now for some actual information…
Interest Rates: The June U.S. treasury bonds closed at 12101, up 1/32nd on Thursday with the latest economic data mixed. First time unemployment declined slightly but still remained above the 400,000 level. As I have been stating ad nauseum the only reduction we can expect is tied to fewer employees available for layoffs without "shutting the company doors" and that does not bode well for the U.S. economy. Economic data is showing slight improvement and corporate earnings are better than expected given the fact that fewer employees are managing increased production. It remains a mystery as to how much longer corporations can continue to provide "earnings gains" with fewer employees each week. Something is "rotten in Denmark" and other places. Spain, Portugal and Greece as well as Italy and others are experiencing serious budgetary problems and the U.S. "earnings" are substantially reduced by the unemployment situation. The "budget deficit" figures being bandied about are based on tax income from previous years and the expected shortfall for 2010 has not, in my opinion, been factored in. We could see low interest rates for the near term but I have no doubt the Fed will have to raise rates and somehow convince the U.S. administration to stop spending…..Add to put positions on bonds.
Stock Indices: The Dow Jones industrials closed at 12,505.99, up 52.45 points in a shortened holiday week and was up 1.3% for the week on corporate earnings and positively construed economic data. The S&P 500 closed at 1,337.38, up 7.02 points and gained 1.3% for the week also. The Nasdaq closed at 2,820.16 up 17.65 points and gained 2% for the week. Corporate earnings drove the market for the four days this past week even, as I suggested, with fewer employees. I feel the current price levels are over extended and expect a sharp correction very soon. I strongly recommend instituting hedging strategies for larger portfolios. We can help devise such strategies.
Currencies: The June U.S. dollar index closed a 16 month low against both the Euro and the British Pound at 7429.5, down 27.2 points while the Euro gained 58 points to 14555 and the British pound gained 141 points to 18538. Strong U.S. corporate earnings and the gain in equities this past week turned investors against the dollar. The June Australian dollar also gained closing at 10681, up 77 points. The June Swiss Frank closed at 11324, up 71 points while the Japanese yen gained 93 points to 12232. Continued low U.S. rates against increases by the European Central Bank with possibly another rate rise to curb their inflation the main factor in dollar weakness. At some point, in our opinion, the U.S. Federal Reserve will "wake up" to the fact that global inflation must be addressed in the U.S. as well as abroad. We look for the dollar, at some point, when the Fed tightens for the first time, to stabilize against all the other currencies. We would look to start nibbling at the long side of the dollar index.
Energies: June Crude oil closed at $112.29, up 84c tied to geopolitical events as well as the weak U.S. currency. We prefer the sidelines but fully expect, once the dollar stabilizes, some re-trenchment of crude to under $100 to start with, and eventually down to the $75-80 per barrel level. We cannot predict the timing however so any trading should be limited to well capitalized accounts. Our favored long position, Natural Gas, broke through overhead resistance this week closing at $4.4710, up 11.4c per MBTU. Stay with it.
Copper: July copper closed at $4.4040per pound, up 4.5c on Thursday against the week dollar and the strength in equities. Positive corporate earnings also a factor in the shortcovering Thursday. We continue to be bearish on copper on the basis that global economies are, in our opinion, not in recovery. For the week copper lost 2.2%. Hold put positions.
Precious Metals: While much of media attention is directed at gold, silver has consistently performed better gaining an average of 3 times the daily percentage gains of gold. On Friday for instance gold gained 0.40% while silver gained 4.83%. There is no comparison and why the media attention is on gold, we have suggested for some time that silver was a better investment during times of dollar weakness and inflation fears. Since July of 2010 gold has gained 18% from $1240 to $1503 per ounce. Silver however, has gone from $17.60 to $46 per ounce or over 150%. There is really no comparison and why the "gold bugs" are ignoring the better returns for silver is a question of priorities. There is probably a higher dollar commission for marketing gold than there is for silver. Unfortunate for the investing public, in my opinion. June gold closed at $1,504.90, up $6.00 on Thursday for a gain of 0.40% while July silver closed at $46.625 per ounce, up $$2.1480 for a gain of 4.83%. July platinum closed at $1817.60, up $14.80 while June palladium gained $11.85 to close at $770.75. Our favorite spread long palladium short platinum shoed palladium gaining 1.56% against platinum's 0.82% gain. Stay with that spread. As far as gold and silver are concerned, we are expecting a correction on any dollar stability so avoid new positions.
Grains and Oilseeds: July corn closed at $7.44 ½ per bushel, up 4c on shortcovering following reports that wet weather in the growing areas of the U.S. could delay plantings. We prefer the sidelines in corn. July wheat closed at $8.34 ¾ per bushel, up 14c per bushel tied to poor weather threatening production. Extreme dryness in the winter wheat areas along with heavy rains delaying plantings of spring wheat prompted the buying across the board. We like the long side expecting the numbers to substantiate our bullish opinion. July soybeans closed at $13.89 ¾ per bushel, up 20 1/2c on better than expected export sales. We like soybeans from here as well.
Coffee, Cocoa and Sugar: July coffee closed at $2.9455 per pound, down 4.9c after recent concerns over supply shortages subsided. We prefer the sidelines in coffee. July cocoa closed at $3088 per tonne, down $18 as Ivory Coast political problems may be resolved and production is expected to increase. We are also on the sidelines in cocoa but could expect additional long liquidation. July sugar closed at 23.8c per pound, up 27 points tied to higher crude prices and the lower dollar. Brazil will start harvesting soon and expectations are that due to higher crude prices, additional sugar could be used to produce ethanol. We could see further price gains and suggest putting on a few longs for well capitalized clients.
Cotton: July cotton closed at $1.6751 per pound, up 45 points even against lighter than expected export sales due to continued drought in China and the weak dollar. We continue to favor the short side of cotton and would add to put positions on any rallies.

BC Basketball 2011-12
Posted 19 November 2011 - 03:28 PM
Hoops and football programs both feel like they're back in the late 80's/early 90's again.
Yup. Definitely rough times in Chestnut Hill right now. At least the basketball program has a direction. It'll take some time but I have faith in Donahue. On the football side....
Posted 21 November 2011 - 08:51 AM
"In 1891, James Naismith mounted two peach baskets on opposite walls of a gym, inventing the rudimentary version of what we know today as shelving. Take your basketball off this grand innovation with todays GrouponLive deal: for $8, you get one ticket to see a Boston College men's basketball game at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill (a $15 value). Choose from the following games:
Against the Penn State Nittany Lions on Wednesday, November 30, at 7:15 p.m.
Against Boston University on Saturday, December 3, at 2 p.m.
Against the Harvard Crimson on Thursday, December 29, at 7 p.m.
The Boston College Eagles men's basketball team soars over opponents with a fast-paced style of play and young roster of budding stars. Second-year Head Coach Steve Donahue helms the talented troupe of hoopsters, who enter this season seeking to build on last year's impressive showing, which netted 21 victories and 48 line dances hosted on the court. After landing atop the ACC in field goals and three-point percentage a year ago, the Eagles' continued success relies heavily upon freshman guard Patrick Heckmann, who sank a team-high 19 points in a season-opening victory over New Hampshire. Alongside Heckmann, forward Ryan Anderson will attempt to add to an already stellar resume, which includes Los Angeles Times Player of the Year honors for outstanding play and fanciest yearbook signature while in high school. Conte Forum boasts free parking for men's basketball and hockey events."

We're officially back in the late 90s. Skinner suffered through 3 bad years before he broke through in 2000-2001. Of course, he had Troy Bell and a bunch of seniors. I think we're looking at the same timeline with Donahue. This year is going to absolutely suck. Next year will be a little less sucky. And hopefully by the 4th year, we'll have a legit blue chip recruit on campus. If we don't...
During the UNH broadcast Meter said Donahue said something like, "Things will really be clicking with this group by game 50."
Posted 22 November 2011 - 04:33 PM
Posted 23 November 2011 - 11:51 AM
I do have high hopes for what Donahue can do with the program but the current situation is very frustrating. It's a shame Reggie didn't stay around for one more year, if only so he could keep building his skills while the NBA carpet bombs its season.
Posted 23 November 2011 - 12:06 PM
BC is a legit contender for worst BCS conference team in both major sports right now. Absolutely amazing.
It really is when you think about it. Four years ago, our football team was #2 in the nation and our hoops team was on its way to its 6th NCAA tournament appearance in 7 years. Fast forward to 2011 and our football team is an absolute joke with no direction and our hoops team is getting blown out by dogshit teams. And they won't be "good" for at least 2 more years.
Solid work, Gene. Why don't you induct yourself into the BC HoF again, you pompous midget prick.
Posted 26 November 2011 - 02:54 PM
This followed up a nice game with SLU who then has their way with Nova.
Looking forward to seeing what this team does agains New Mexico tomorrow. Baby steps for sure but I am starting to see steps at least.
Posted 30 November 2011 - 08:57 PM
On the U tonight...
Some stuff to like, but they're young and play like it.
Matt Humphrey is a nightmare, though. Won't pass. Biggest ballhog ive seen in a long time. Not sure if you can coach that out of a guy like that.
I'm with ya but I am hoping that he's still trying to kick the rust off of the transfer year. Clifford and Anderson need a year to develop. You can see flashes but they'll need time. Lonnie Jackson showing his stroke tonight.
Posted 30 November 2011 - 09:25 PM
Posted 03 December 2011 - 03:59 PM
Ummmm. Wow.
This has gotten so bad, I'm honestly not sure Donahue can ever recover. This is easily the worst BCS-conference basketball team in 2011-12, and 7 of the 9 freshmen look like non-Division I players.
So we're now going to give up on a coach who has had approximately one month of game time with the players he actually recruited? Were you actually expecting this team to even sniff the NCAA tournament this season? I know I wasn't.
If this athletic department gives Donahue any less than two more season after this one to implement his system and get in his guys then they deserve everything they get. Cutting ties with him so soon would likely drive any promising coaching candidate from ever considering BC.
This is not a Spaz situation here, give the guy some time. Show me the great success that any team with ELEVEN new players has ever had.
Posted 03 December 2011 - 04:29 PM
Can anyone point to a similar situation as this? All year players other than 3 second years players, only one of which is on scholarship?
Coach D can't recover from what?
Posted 03 December 2011 - 05:52 PM
Ummmm. Wow.
This has gotten so bad, I'm honestly not sure Donahue can ever recover. This is easily the worst BCS-conference basketball team in 2011-12, and 7 of the 9 freshmen look like non-Division I players.
Its pretty concerning. This team is truly horrific at the moment. However, Anderson, Clifford, and Heckmann are all DI players and potential starters. Caudill looks like he has a good chance at being a contributor. However, most of the rest of the guys look like theyre way too limited to ever be even 20+ minutes a game types.
Posted 03 December 2011 - 06:16 PM
Posted 04 December 2011 - 12:35 AM
There is no comparison between this team and Curley's freshman year. Curley and Eisley were big-time signees. We beat out Arizona and UConn for Curley. Where are those guys in this class? This team is more like the 89-90 BC team, before Curley and company arrived. The David Hinton/Doug Able team.
Posted 04 December 2011 - 12:40 AM
Agree. The ACC office cannot be too pleased about all this nonsense.It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, a BC team should never be THIS bad. Just by virtue of being an ACC program, even a freshman-heavy BC team should be winning most of these games.
I am rooting for BC to get better and be a real team next year, but damn...
Posted 04 December 2011 - 10:09 AM
Agree. The ACC office cannot be too pleased about all this nonsense.

Guys ... let's please at least wait until we get more into the season. Wake Forest won 1 ACC game last year and lost to such NCAA powerhouses as Stetson and Presbyterian.
This team looks really bad right now for sure but understand that Donahue could care less about the results of these games right now. I know this sounds crazy but you can see by watching the games that he has a larger purpose here. His rotation patterns are odd to say the least and it appears as though this is all in the name of development. Is it maddening? Sure, but I really don't think Ws and Ls matter to him right now. EVERYONE is getting minutes.
I am absolutely the most Polyannish of BC posters on here and I realize that so take everything I say with a grain of salt if you'd like. That said, here are a few quick hitters:
1. Lonnie Jackson -- He was hurt just about all of pre-season and way behind at the beginning of the season. In the last several games we've seen what he brings, a sweet shot and ability to get his own shot off from the perimeter.
2. Dennis Clifford -- Highly skilled but not there yet physically. I think Donahue wants him to handle the ball up top to draw out the defense but needs to find his flow.
3. Anderson -- Young and immature but also skilled. The beginning of yesterday's BU game shows his potential. Has an inside and outside game but needs to figure out how to finish around the hoop against Division 1 competition.
4. Heckmann -- Really good player trying to play on two bad ankles right now. Also better off the ball. I think Coach D may have overestimated his ball handling skills
5. Humphreys -- I am concerned. He has shown the deadly combination of poor shooting and lots of it. I hope he shows something but I have seen little.
6. Odio -- Freakish athlete who has no clue right now. Will get few minutes once ACC play starts but will contribute in future years.
7. Daniels -- Yesterday showed what he can bring when in control. Has shown he has decent range from 3. Question is how he holds up against ACC guards and can he play D as his size.
8. Caudill -- Much better than I thought. Will be a solid 15 minute player going forward who has decent ball skills around the basket and a big body.
Maybe I am torturing myself but I'd like to start tracking the games to see if I can prove out a theory I have. This team is not getting blown out buzzer to buzzer. They are "winning" certain stretches of the game but then fall apart and don't recover. I think it would be interesting to track 8-10 minute stretches to see how BC competes and then where the problems are.
Finally, this is a really unique situation. Other than the freshmen there is ONE SCHOLARSHIP PLAYER IN THE TEAM. Noone ever said this class was the Fab 5. Heckmann, Clifford and Anderson will be solid ACC players I am sure of it. The real problem this year from a short term perspective has been Humphreys. I think they expected him to score and help cover up some deficiencies. Not so much.
ACC is very weak this year and I think BC is only one their concerns. Fortunately for BC the overall sucktitude of the ACC doesn't matter to BC since there is no NCAA in play.
Let's look at this team 10 games into the ACC schedule, examine the rotations and see what we have.

That worries me. I'm not giving up on Donahue, but it worries me. Recruits see this stuff, and there is a difference between having a rough year while you're rebuilding, and being a total laughingstock. We're headed for the latter right now.

I like Donahue and have supported him since day one. But let's put it this way - even with his young roster, he still has a team that BU's coach or Holy Cross' coach would sell his soul to have right now, and got beat pretty solidly by both of them.

These kids will get better but I don't see very much top end talent on this team. Rahon/Hanlan should help in the backcourt next year but there is no help on the horizon for the Clifford/Anderson/Caudill trio. And we desperately need an athletic wing next to Heckmann. I'm already counting down to Humphrey's graduation. Man, is he bad.
Posted 09 December 2011 - 02:15 PM
That said, BC played it's best game of the season so far last night at Providence. Anderson and Clifford really showed what their potential holds and Daniels showed some great flashes. Humphreys still needs to have better discipline shooting the ball from 3 range but he played extremely hard and was easily the best defender out there.
Rebounding is a challenge and may continue to be until these guys get bigger and stronger.
They are playing better D, turning the ball over less and hitting free throws at a better clip. If they continue to show this kind of progress things will look up in a hurry.
Posted 12 December 2011 - 10:56 AM
Donahue has tightened up rotation and overall the defensive play has improved.
Posted 12 December 2011 - 01:04 PM
I don't want to overstate it but BC with a nice win against Stony Brook last night. While not a world beater they were picked to win the America East Conference. Again, baby steps, but the team is definitely playing better as the season goes along.

We were absolutely awful last night. Nobody can put the ball in the basket. Dougher and Hayes have been up and down for us all season and lately it's been all down. Defensively, I thought we did a good job the first 10 minutes or so but Heckmann started to knock down shots and we couldn't put the ball in the ocean.

Stony Brook is a 3-5 America East team with wins against Mount Ida, Columbia, and Fairleigh Dickinson. In short, I can't get too excited. However, some of the guys appear to be settling down a bit. Of course, that will change when they see their first ACC fullcourt press.
Posted 18 December 2011 - 03:57 PM
I know I know it's only Bryant but this team seems light years ahead of the team that got smoked by HC and UMass and it's been steady improvement.
Next game against Sacred Heart before we get a sense of where the team really is at this point against Harvard.
Posted 29 December 2011 - 10:02 PM
"The Eagles didn't have a basket in the final 8:30 and shot just 18.2 percent (4 of 22) in the second half."
I want BC to be good, because they're a fun addition to the ACC when they are, but holy fuck.
Posted 03 January 2012 - 10:50 AM
I still don't really know the answer as to how good this unit can be in 2-3 years. Of course they will be better because they will be older and more experienced, but is there a player on the roster who will develop into an ALl conference type player (first or second team)? I am not really sure.
Heckman maybe can be, but I wonder if he will be at BC long term or if he will go back to play in a German league for big money after a year or two
Posted 03 January 2012 - 11:36 AM
I predicted 5-7 wins and an 0-16 record in ACC play before the year, so I am neither surprised nor overly dissapointed with the play of the team.

I agree with this. I think people are putting too much faith in the development of current players. I see some nice players in time but not many "difference makers", even after the physical maturation process takes place. Skinner's biggest problem was that he assumed that his 2007 class of Sanders, Raji, Southern, Paris was going to be a building block class. It obviously wasn't. And he lost his job largely because of this.
Posted 12 January 2012 - 09:09 PM
Who knows how many games they win but it was great to see these kids get a win after the effort they've been putting in all season.
Posted 12 January 2012 - 09:10 PM
Are you guys serious?!?!? This was a team folks were claiming wouldn't win a single ACC game. If you are a fan of BC and havent paid attention you've missed out. This team has shown improvement game over game.
Who knows how many games they win but it was great to see these kids get a win after the effort they've been putting in all season.
I completely agree. Clifford and Jackson both made big plays. The team looked callow in the last minute but this win will be a building block.

La Veranda Osteria
Online Reservations
La Veranda always hits just the right note. It is local for us and we walk down. The owners are consistently present and greet patrons with a pleasant smile and hello. The staff is attentive without being overly so. We were a party of four. Three of us had the sea bass which is wonderful and cooked just right. The fourth the veal marsala which was also just great. Salads are plentiful and my husband had lentil soup which he declared was excellent. It is a gem in our neighbourhood which serves a prix fixe lunch as well and is very successful. We often have lunch or dinner here with friends as it is so convenient and reliable.
Great restaurant! Great food, great service. Never disappoints.
Excellent service, busy but family run style restaurant. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food quality was high especially considering the extent and variety in to menu.
It was a very nice dining experience. I find that it gets quite loud after a certain hour and it is hard to carry on a conversation unless you are speaking loudly. I would love to consider it for a special occasion but get the sense that there is no privacy for groups other than at the back of the restaurant. All in all, would definitely come back for another meal! Thanks so much!!!
I love this restaurant. I was there in Feb for my birthday brunch with some friends and we were totally impressed with the food and the service. This time I was there for dinner with the same friends and we couldn't believe how good the food was. Their attention to detail also made for a wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to take my husband there as he is a chef and enjoys a good culinary experience.
Took my mom here for an early Mother's Day dinner and we had a great time. Most of the staff are delightful and the great personalities match the vibrant food. The main course was delicious I recommend the pollo alla Gorgonzola con fungi - trust me its worth breaking your diet for.
We were a group from work and there was not one complaint about any of the food - the appetizers - (especially the mushrooms were amazing) - everyone enjoyed their main course (and even were still talking about it the next morning) - and the desserts right down to the coffee were delicious. Definitely would go back.
La Veranda Osteria has the magic touch to blend all the elements that make lunch perfect. I often meet west-end clients and work colleagues at La Veranda. I take the subway to the Royal York Station. They drive in from Oakville, Guelph, Mississauga, wherever, and conveniently park at the Green P across from the restaurant. I have not had any one say anything but great things about La Veranda, many adding that they will return during the evening and/or weekends with their spouse or significant other.
We had seen the restaurant many times but had never dropped in before. The menu was extensive, as well as the wine list (with numerous choices for a single glass or 1/2 litre). The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. They prepared 2 special antipasto plates for the 4 of us, one meat/cheese and one veggie. We all had different pasta dishes - fresh, al dente and delicious, and none of us could resist indulging in dessert too. The lemon gelato swirled with Limoncello was a big hit. What we liked most about the restaurant (besides the food) was the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. This is a happy group of people and they want you to be happy with your dining experience as well! We will definitely be going back.
Loved the food and the fact that offer gluten free pastas is a definite plus. The service was great, even though the place was very busy everything arrived in a timely manner. This was my first time for dinner, their lunch menu is also great and service was swift and polite. I did find it a bit loud with all of the families dining but for a great dinner out close to home it's perfect.
Met up with family here and some are staunch environmentalist so it was great that the Royal York Subway leads to the door and for those that drove ample parking in the same vicinity. Would recommend some sort of validated parking for the first 1.5 hrs from the resto. Lunch was lovely, seated in a scenic spot and rain did not hamper the good food experience especially after my return from a cuisine and culture tour of Italy. Enjoy!
Great food as usual - pastas are always done to perfection - but the service was very slow.
An excellent choice for Father's Day lunch. Wide variety of food selection much appreciated. Very friendly and excellent service.
Excellent food, wonderful staff, very attentive. Good wine! Everyone enjoyed the food. A real gem. Beautiful garden area outside if you wish to dine outdoors. I would highly recommend you try dining at La Veranda. It was my first time and I will return again soon. Across from the Royal York subway station. Very easy to get to for anyone on transit and plenty of street parking in the area.
We had an amazing anniversary dinner at La Veranda Osteria. Although a bit pricy, the food was superb - the gnocchi were one of the best we ever had and the desserts were delicious. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.
We enjoy this restaurant immensely. When we want to impress someone or ensure a good time, as we did this past week for my daughter's birthday, La Veranda is our top pick. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. The food choices are outstanding, even for the gluten-free member of our party. Desserts (if you have room) are outstanding as well.
My husband and I went out for the first time in a long time without our 4 year old and had dinner here. The hostess greeted us immediatley with a smile. The service was friendly and the table location was perfect. She sat us right near the window where we had a view. The food was great, I had the 10 ounce steak and my husband had the veal parmesean. He loved it and I really enjoyed my steak. We had the antipasto to start, it had the cheese and meat selection. Very good over all, although the pasta that was served with the meal was kind of generic, just basic tomato sauce. The portions were very generous.I would definitley come back again.
I had a great dining experience at La Veranda. the staff are very friendly and the owner is hands on. Food was lovely and the wine was delightful. Totally enjoyed it.
Six friends went for dinner. The service was fantastic and the food was brilliant. The decor is amazing and the overall experience will definitely bring us back
We love the cozy feeling at this reataurant. The food is delicious, and the service wonderful.
really enjoyed the large selection. good service and large portions to share. would definitely go back.
This is a great, dependable, consistent restaurant - staff is always friendly, food is always good. The waiter was most accommodating to let us sample the 2 wines as the wine menu has changed (I liked it better before). This time I tried the ghnocchi which I found to be a bit hard and tough - aren't they supposed to be light? but the meat sauce with them was delicious. Will always go back.
Food and service was amazing..Keep up the good work
Visiting our Daughter and 2 children. We all had a great time and everyone was friendly.
We had a great evening. The food was great. It was nice sitting on the patio. Love the pictures of the different dishes on the menu and also the beautiful sites in Italy. Nice to reminisce for those that have visited those places!! Been to your restaurant a number of times and never been disappointed. I always recommend your place to my neighbours (as we are within walking distance). You must spend a lot on your flowers which always look fantastic on that side of Royal York Road. Will be coming back soon for our children's wedding anniversary, just trying to find a date. See you soon and keep up the good work!! Virginia
It's not my first time to La Veranda Osteria nor will it be the last time. An appetizer not to be missed is the Grilled Calamari which can be ordered with or with out sauce !!!! Prepared to perfection it can easily be ordered as your main meal. Staff seem to love their job .....................they are very attentive & lots of fun to be with. I have thoroughly enjoyed both lunch & dinner & now look forward to brunch !!!!
It was my first time at this restaurant. We celebrated my b-day. Anyhow, what a lovely find. It is just right across Royal York Subway station. Once I was seated in their patio, I felt like I entered an oasis - you would know that you were sitting on a busy street. It was totally beautiful. There are a large section of food with huge portions to match and very reasonable prices. The waitresses and waiters looks like they have been working their for years - experienced servers are obvious - they made our dining experience wonderful. The next time I return to this restaurant, I will sit inside - I had the chance to go and take a peek - it is nice roomy restaurant, but with the evening so nice enjoy their patio.
I love this place. My wife & I love the kingsway, and this by far is the nicest there is. Great ambiance, awesome patio, excellent food & friendly service.
he food was good. We were there for lunch on a lovely day. They have made their outdoor dining very nice.
This is a nice Etobicoke local, right across the street from the Royal York subway station on a side street of Bloor. Perfect spot on a warm summer night on the patio, which is surrounded with flowers and potted herbs. The seabass was perfectly cooked, the grilled veggies were abundant in the antipasti and we had a good Southern Italian wine with the meal which was quite affordable at $42 and ready to drink. There's lots of wait-staff and we felt very well looked after by the entire group of them. It was quite cute, every time someone came to our table, it was a different person.
The relaxed feel of the restaurant and the wonderful service contributed to a wonderful dinner out. The menu choices are endless and the staff made us feel like we were friends coming home. The limoncello flute was to die for. Wonderful way to spend the evening with friends.
This restaurant used to offer very good food at favourable prices (low). It has now evolved into offering the same very good food but now at medium prices. The wine list has also moved more upmarket so it is difficult to have an appetizer, pasta and a bottle of wine for two for under $100. What I always say about this restaurant is that whenever your order arrives at your table, the food is always hot and I can't say that about many restaurants. Look out for the rules. The owner seems to like to set rules in place such as no splitting of a bill among other things. Not quite sure yet why when they take my order for me as an individual why they can't bill me as an individual. Beats me.
It was wonderful I just don't like how they Charge you for cheese when it comes to your tabel
We have been to La Veranda several times as we live in the neighbourhood. Last Saturday, we had a very nice dinner; the service was excellent. This restaurant is usually very noisy which tends to keep me away, but my husband wanted to go there and it was his birthday.... When I made the reservation, I requested a table away from large groups and we were accommodated. It was still very noisy.
Fantastic food and ambiance. Service was a little slow on this visit. A must return-to dining experience.
With its extensive menu that reads like a book, there is always something to satisfy every member of your party. It's a reliable restaurant with a pleasant staff and décor and a menu that never disappoints. The arugula pomodoro and caprese salads are perennial favourites as are their pastas. The wine list is good with something to satisfy every budget.
Food is excellent quality, and presented beautifully. The express lunch is incredible value. Location can't be beat: right at the subway! The lush garden outside distinguished LVO, and offers a lovely view to diners inside. We were lucky enough to sit near the window. A crowd pleaser for the three generations gathered at our table. We will definitely visit again. Thank you!
This is the first time that we have been there. La Verenda Osteria was recommended by my daughter. We were not disappointed. The food and service were excellent!!! The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was good. We will definitely be going again.
This restaurant is friendly, always consistent, service is excellent. It is my fall back place to go when meeting with friends for a casual, not expensive meal out. Highly recommend.
A very welcoming restaurant as soon as we entered. Staff were impecabble and took very good care of us, not a shortage of staff to take care of you. The special was a veal tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto served with risotto, absolutely wonderful would recommend this dish in a heartbeat. Also ordered was the pasta in an alfredo sauce with chicken. No room for dessert. We felt the price was reasonable with appetizers, entrees and bottle of wine.
We went for dinner after seeing a movie at The Kingsway. Quick service, amusing waiter but not intrusive. Menu is huge, like reading War and Peace... so should be something for everyone :-) Many restaurants close too early for dinner after a movie, La Veranda's kitchen is open to 10:30 on Fridays, so is a good place to keep in mind if you like to eat late. Food was good, wine list extensive enough and reasonably priced. Large room and fairly bright so not the most romantic spot, but overall a good experience.
I had an enjoyable lunch with a friend, a few weeks after attending an "Office Retirement Luncheon" for a big group of patrons. Both of them were very impressive. I would --and I did-- recommend La Veranda Osteria to friends for a good dining experience.
The food was as expected ( very good ) as was the service ( there when you wanted them and not when you didn`t )
I've always had pretty good food at La Veranda, but our dinners Thursday evening were all outstanding. The 4 of us shared 2 appetizers.. I always think of bruschetta as being a standard app, not really worth getting excited about. This was really brilliant and flavorful. And I think that the Ceasar was the best I ever had. Most Italian restaurants have standard dishes that taste pretty much the same. Here, they're each totally unique. You cannot beat the taste and texture of fresh made pasta, and the sauces are distinctive. Far too full, we split 2 desserts: chocolate lava cake and frozen lemon sorbet. The chocolate cake was a bit disappointing. The lemon was, as always, outstanding. Over all a very nice evening of dining out.
Found La Veranda Osteria on line, even though I frequent the area often, somehow missed seeing the restaurant from the street as it is somewhat hidden by plants. Turned out to be a real gem! Great luncheon menu with good choices and attractive prices. Food was tasty and plentiful. I chose La Veranda because of it's organic menu items plus it's location, with parking directly across the street. From the outside, La Veranda resembles a small cafe, but it is surprisingly large inside with a modern decor, including one of the nicest washrooms I have seen in a restaurant. La Veranda exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be going back.
La Veranda is a pleasant place, located in the heart of Etobicoke, in a central and easily accessible place. The service is good, the staff is friendly and helpful. The food is also very nice. It is very good for group events and parties.
food is always great. love the gluten free options, would love to see more vegan options. Outdoor decorations are always great . great location
Lovely spot that we found by accident. Great food and well priced. Try it also in the summer on the beautiful patio ... You would never know you are on a major street. Happy eating

Krochet Kids International
Krochet Kids International offers up hand crocheted hats and accessories, helping empower women to provide for their families
by Marcus Bloom | 15 May 2012
View the photo gallery
I love a good startup story. There's just something great about hearing how someone (or some people) recognize a need in the world and set out to fill it.
Krochet Kids International is exactly one of those stories.
While not your typical startup (they're a nonprofit as opposed to a purely revenue driven startup), the story reads the same. Growing up, three kids from Spokane, WA learned how to crochet, and in their free time, they started crafting custom gear for their winter sports activities. Their style caught on – they began selling their gear to local kids (and anyone else who'd buy them) – and eventually, they were dubbed the "Krochet Kids" by the local newspaper.
The trio split up to attend different colleges, but during their summer breaks, they got together and travelled the globe. As part of their journey, the three volunteered in various developing nations, and they soon realized not only their own blessings growing up, but also the needs of the global community as a whole. Determined to make a difference, the three went back to what they knew, reviving their crocheting skills under the nonprofit Krochet Kids International and setting out to use their trade to help others in need.
Enter Uganda. Over 20 years ago, a rebel army ravaged the northern part of the country. As a result, entire generations have been displaced, growing up knowing only government camp and relying solely on the government and aid organizations for their needs. Tired of being dependent on the government and wanting to work and provide for their own families, it would be these Ugandan women that would be the first to expand Krochet Kids International.
After countless meetings and a significant amount of planning, the trio found themselves sitting in a simple brick hut with a group of Ugandan women and bags full of yarn. What followed was an event that would shape Krochet Kids International as a whole, as the Ugandan women spent the night learning and mastering the art of crocheting. Krochet Kids International was born, and the rest is history.
Today, Krochet Kids International helps women in both Uganda and Peru, with over 150 people working, receiving education and being mentored toward a brighter future. It's a perfect example of how three kids recognized a need, and in their own way, set out to fill it.
So how can you help?
Simple: Krochet Kids International isn't about asking for your donations (not that you can't donate if you want) – it's about buying some awesome gear hand made by the people you're helping. In other words, if you're thinking about picking up a new hat or accessory, skip the trip to the mall and buy one from Krochet Kids International instead. Their hats, scarves and accessories are all gorgeous. There's a total of 12 hat styles available in numerous colors; there's a bow tie; there's a scarf; there's a headband; all of which are hand crocheted in either Uganda or Peru. The craftsmanship and materials are superb, and what may be my favorite part, every piece is hand signed by the woman that made it. You can even visit the Krochet Kids International website and read her story and leave her a note about your particular piece.
It's a great way not only to get some stunningly unique style, but also to help support some incredibly hard working women seeking to better the lives of their families.
To check out the numerous pieces of style offered by Krochet Kids International, I encourage you visit the official Krochet Kids International Shop. I've picked up three of their hats for my family (the Riley, the Thomas and the Margot), and we love all of them. Buy one and I think you'll love it too.

Systems of equations word problems
Passed bike word problem Fun algebra word problem involving a train passing a bike.
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Here's another interesting word problem that was
- sent by [? Cortagio ?].
- A woman cycles to work alongside a railroad track
- at 6 kilometers per hour.
- That's an interesting piece of data.
- 6 kilometers per hour.
- Every day she arrives at a crossing the same
- time that a train does.
- One day she was 50 minutes late, and was overtaken by
- the train 6 kilometers from the crossing.
- In how many minutes will the train reach the crossing.
- Let's see if we can draw a diagram here that can somewhat
- describe what's going on in this problem.
- So what's on a normal day?
- On a normal day, she leaves from home, she leaves from
- home, and she goes and she travels alongside
- a railroad track.
- Not too different than my own commute on my own bicycle.
- Actually, I actually do travel on a bike path that's right
- along a railroad track.
- Anyway, let's say she leaves here at time is equal to 0.
- Time is equal to 0.
- And right at this point right here, maybe that's where the
- railroad crossing is, right there, the train passes her up.
- And she's traveling at 6 kilometers per hour.
- 6 kilometers per hour.
- 6 kilometers per hour.
- And what else does it tell us?
- It doesn't tell us how long it takes her, or
- how far she travels.
- So let's just say she arrives here at t is equal to a hours.
- t is equal to a.
- We'll do time in hours, since we're in kilometers per hour.
- So this path takes her a hours to travel.
- So it takes her a hours.
- If we care about the time, a hours.
- Now on this next day, she's 50 minutes late.
- So on this day, she has to travel the same distance in
- time, well in both distance and time.
- But this is this day.
- She leaves not a t equals 0.
- She leaves 50 minutes late.
- Since we're dealing with hours, let's write
- 50 minutes in hours.
- So she leaves at-- if this was time equal 0, that's when she
- normally leaves --she's now leaving at that time is equal
- to 50 minutes, or time is equal to 5/6 hours.
- Right?
- 50 minutes is just 50/60 hours or 5/6 hours of time is
- equal to 5 over 6 hours.
- This time is equal to 0 hours.
- And let's see, it says that she was overtaken by the train 6
- kilometers from the crossing.
- So she was overtaken by the train some place over
- here, and this distance.
- Right this is where the crossing is, that's
- that crossing.
- This is 6 kilometers.
- 6 kilometers.
- In how many minutes will the train reach the crossing?
- So if we can figure out some way of expressing this time, if
- we can figure out with this time is, we know that the train
- reaches the crossing a t is equal to a.
- So if we know this time, we can just find the difference
- between these two times and we would have solved the problem.
- So let's see if we can figure out this time.
- So we know that it normally takes her a hours to travel
- this whole distance.
- It doesn't matter when she leaves it takes her a hours.
- So in this case it should also take her a hours.
- And how long does she have to go when the train passes up on
- this day that she was late?
- How long will it take her to go this distance right there?
- Well she's traveling at 6 kilometers per hour, she
- has to go 6 kilometers.
- So in time, this is going to take her 1 hour.
- To get-- you know, the train will have long passed her --but
- to get back to the crossing, she's going to have to
- travel for another hour.
- So if her whole route takes her a hours, this whole length
- in time is a hours.
- Then this distance right here is going to have
- to take her, what?
- She has an hour left, her whole trip is going to be a hours, so
- this is going to be a minus 1 hours.
- Let me scroll down a little bit.
- This is going to take her a minus 1 hours.
- So if on the day she was late it took her a minus 1 hours to
- get passed by the train, what time are we talking
- about right here?
- What time is this?
- This is t is equal to-- well we started at 5/6
- --t is equal to 5/6.
- That's where we started.
- Plus the amount of hours she traveled plus a minus 1.
- So there we, I think, we now have all the information we
- need to solve this problem.
- On the day she is late, the train passes or at time is
- equal to 5/6 plus a minus 1 hours, where a is the amount of
- time it normally takes her to travel her entire route
- to the crossing.
- We know that the train passes this point at t is equal to a.
- So if we want to know how many minutes does it take the train
- to go from this point to this point, we just have to
- subtract the two times.
- So the minutes it takes, well the hours because
- we're doing it hours.
- And remember I said 50 minutes was 5/6 of an hour, so the
- minutes it takes is a, that a, minus this.
- Minus 5/6 plus a minus 1.
- Right?
- That's just the difference in time for the train, in hours.
- So this is a minus 5/6 minus a plus 1.
- Luckily the a's cancel out.
- a minus a, and you're left with 1 minus 5/6 hours, which is
- just equal to 1/6 hours.
- There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 1/6 of
- that is 10 minutes.
- So it takes the train 10 minutes to get to the
- crossing from the point that it passed her.
- Another neat problem, and I thank [? Cortagio ?].
- for that.
- And then you can actually use this information if you want
- figure out how fast the train is going, or you could even
- think of other types of derivative problems
- off of this one.
- Anyway, another good problem.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
So how well this weather affect retail sales which are as you know coming up the worst holiday season in three years.
-- -- with some answers Evan gold analytic senior vice president.
Client services Evan nice to see is still.
What is your take on on retail spending here how the storm sort of -- already.
-- fourth quarter spending season.
Great to be here -- you know.
Well certainly whether -- having an impact on the roads to rails on the skies.
People are able to get out in most of the major population centers and get to there for a local mall or shopping center.
And redeem those gift cards.
You know.
We did see some reports out yesterday in terms of some holiday spending but but I actually still think we have a ways to go before -- close the book on this holiday season where.
It if you this week following Christmas are some of the biggest shopping days of the year.
And I'd expect a lot of folks to be redeeming gift cards which is when retailers will recognize that revenue so I actually expect things to be a little bit better I wouldn't necessarily write book closed yet on the south.
An important point -- because retailers as our viewers know don't book the revenue -- the gift cards actually use and we talked to analysts.
All types of -- within the retail sector specifically the toy analysts think -- yet there is no popular toy this year.
People just didn't really know what to buy -- kids and they're certainly.
He's always toys -- there but there was no one hot item in some maybe it was just easier to give the gift card or the online gift certificate.
So until again that is actually booked as revenue we're not going to know what other factor seventy think -- out there when you say besides the shopping days.
-- sales settled you know -- -- the year that could actually improve the spending picture.
Sure there's there's a lot of other factors that are out there and certainly one of the things that we watch very closely is the weather and with a lot of gift cards that are still out there waiting to be redeemed weather becomes a larger factor in terms of what people would deem those items.
On so we're just talking about the winter storm that's that's currently -- in place we've got another storm potential for this weekend.
So for retailers that are selling apparel like outer Wear boots gloves stars half sweaters.
There's an opportunity right now and into this weekend to start clearing -- product because as the weather gets cold and snowing here there's triggering that need for consumers to buy those items and it's not just the apparel folks in the mass merchants.
Even the home centers there's opportunity for folks you if you didn't get that snowblower.
And now you might be recognizing that need to go to go go -- make that purchase.
-- so how does -- net out these guys.
-- people staying home and not spending.
Not driving not traveling vs people see your point buying snow blowers and shovels and warm clothes so.
Is bad weather like this does it ultimately.
Help the economy or heard it -- at it's kind of a tough question and it's kind of general but in this case when we think how do you think it'll end up.
It's really more on -- sector by sector basis so for folks that are in the impacted areas that.
You know they can't get out right now.
There's a negative impact to folks like get entertainment senators.
-- -- movie theaters may be restaurants but for folks that can get down get to the malls.
It's it's really as good news and and you know but we're talking earlier around that the ski resorts and this is an ideal scenario if you pick this week to do -- -- this and you pick them and I feel weak to do your vacation because all of the snow or most of the snow is happening.
In areas frankly where people want it so.
There actually is opportunity and it's -- -- sector by sector basis but I look for folks in the apparel the soft lines.
-- certainly that that the ski resorts.
Are doing very very well and expect them to do very very well over the next couple of days.
-- appreciate your analysis seven -- with plan analytics thanks so much.
Happy holidays like flies back -- to.

multiplayer? is that required or just an option?
A bit of nuance here. I am aware that in "learn a song" mode the notes will start to blur (though there's an option to disable that), but... In Score Attack mode there are very specific levels Easy/Med/Hard/Master and this is where your scoring will be done for the purposes of leaderboards and there will not be dynamic difficulty in this mode since you've selected a level. Toy mentions it was called "master mode", but I think they've only referred to it as "master" on twitter unless you saw 'master mode' somewhere else...
Now, if you select "Master" I'm not sure if that is the equivalent of "master mode" (i.e. the notes are all gone the whole way through), or if it's the full chart with "learn a song" style blurring, or if it's just the entire chart with no blurring.
Since these are very specific modes it's possible that master is actually just all the notes. I actually think it'd be odd to call the mode that gives you all the notes 'hard' as getting all the notes in Hangar 18 is going to be way more than hard
I think it would make more sense to have Master be Master Mode where as Hard is all the notes. I could be way off though
i would expect the same, it would be kind of confusing if master mode in one place meant "hidden notes" and in another meant "all notes are visible." of course, i'm still kinda confused about this area to begin with (sounds kind of like score duel?) but i don't think it will be totally clear until there's a demo video or something that shows it in action. but if it is like score duel, then i would think you'd want to be able to have the ability to have Master mode score duels where neither player can see the charts and have to play from memory.
Or perhaps Master (Score Attack) is full mastery with an option to have the note hiding mechanic turned off and on.
If there's an option to not hide the notes, the hidden notes should be worth more points, seeing as how the player would have needed to memorize them.
Yeah I think that will be a given since they mentioned "your score will go up" and "learn a song" mode has no score.
Guitar Hero 2005-2011
wait, "learn a song" mode (which i interpreted as being the same as rehearsal mode in the current game) doesn't give you a score? so is score attack now the only mode that gives you a score in the game?

- Hello Hikari!, yes, there are few tips on how to wash the costumes, in our FAQ section. n_n
- Q: How to wash costumes ?
A: Most of our costumes are polyester costumes, so you can simply take them to professional dry clean store after wearing them; or, you can wash them:-(1). Hand washes only, using warm water (or normal, just don't be so hot or cold) will be okay.(2). For most of them (except leather, fur & materials that are thin, light or weak), you can iron it (like ironing normal clothing) when they are dry.(3). It will be better for you to wash them separately, because costumes' colors are always being sharp & bright (like red, yellow, purple, green, etc). So please wash them separately, because this type of colors may mix color with other clothes or costumes.

the one on page 11 right?
i downloaded from page 18
yeah, mine was older but still no love *sigh*
well.. my PS_GAME folder for the edited game is 6.59GB. i posted how i made my own game work and I'm using internal.
hope that helps. its all i can do, can't figure out why it still wouldn't work for you
Just a quick question: which one is the original unpack script? And how to check it? (use which command?)
the original unpack script is cpk.bms which you can download from quickbms's site along with quickbms.
you use it the same way you use quickbms to extract rootR.cpk of us and jp versions. but instead of choosing cpk_nds.bms (modified unpack script) you choose cpk.bms at the first browse window after running quickbms.

Malden Beetle Control
Beetles are a very annoying problem when they invade homes. There are three main types of beetles that invade Massachusetts homes. Carpet beetles, June bugs and powderpost beetles are all known to invade Massachusetts homes, causing damage and headaches. It is important to identify when one of these types of beetles invades your home right away, so that they can be dealt with quickly and decisively.
Carpet Beetles
Carpet beetles are among the most destructive beetles that can invade a home. Just one female carpet beetle can lay 50 to 100 eggs a day. Once these eggs hatch, they are hungry and start eating everything they can. They love to eat any kind of fibers, especially clothing and carpet fibers. An infestation of carpet beetles can cause hundreds or thousands of dollars of damage if left untreated. If you see a hole in clothing or the carpet, call a pest control expert immediately to avoid any further damage from carpet beetles.
June Bugs
June bugs are a much less damaging insect, but they are very bothersome when they invade a home. They seem to have a knack for flying right into people's faces, scaring kids and aggravating pets. Once they invade a home, it is too late to control them. If a Malden homeowner experiences a June bug infestation, they need to get a pest control expert in the next spring or fall to kill the larvae of the June bugs.
Powderpost Beetles
Powderpost beetle infestation is the most frightening beetle infestation that can befall a Massachusetts homeowner. They get their name from the manner in which they eat through wood. The powderpost beetles eat their way through wood, tunneling holes and leaving only powder behind. They can rapidly eat through the structure of a house, and if left untreated can cause enough damage to render a home unlivable.
It is important to take care with any holes seen in the wood of a house. Anytime a homeowner sees holes in their home, they should call a pest control expert immediately. We have the expertise to determine if the holes are caused by an insect infestation, and we will get rid of the powderpost beetles rapidly and permanently.
