Proposed Coles Hill uranium mine: Buried treasure or hidden threat?
Beneath an estate that's been farmed by the Coles family since just after the Revolutionary War lies the nation's largest untapped uranium deposit, a potential $10 billion bonanza amid rolling hills, oak trees, pastures and a historic plantation home.
The radioactive treasure in the Blue Ridge foothills is pitting neighbor against neighbor and North Carolinians against Virginians. North Carolina is only about 20 miles from the proposed uranium mine and residents, public officials and lawmakers there worry that a catastrophic release of radioactive waste could poison Kerr Lake, the drinking water source for more than 118,000 North Carolinians, as well as contaminate the fishing- and recreation-rich Roanoke River as far east as Pamlico Sound.
"My concern is the catastrophic impact it could have on North Carolina's water, and it could be major," said state Rep. Mitch Gillespie, a McDowell County Republican. "This is brand new for North Carolina."
The city of Virginia Beach, which gets water from Lake Gaston, also is raising alarms about risk to its drinking water. Virginia dairy farmers who live near the mine site wonder who'll want to buy milk that comes from pastures near a massive uranium mine. "It's going to ruin this area," said Bill Needy, a 57-year-old Chatham farmer.
Mine advocates say the concerns are overblown and that modern mining practices will prevent the feared contamination. Virginia uranium means jobs, and it's the needed fuel for the nation's nuclear reactors, said Virginia state Sen. John Watkins, a Powhatan Republican.
"Uranium mining is done safely around the world, and Virginia is capable of mining it safely, too," he said.
The massive uranium deposit is shaping up to be among the most contentious issues for the Virginia General Assembly as it prepares to go into session and decide whether to approve Watkins' proposal to end Virginia's 30-year-old moratorium on uranium mining.
U.S. uranium mining typically happens in arid Western states. The proposed Coles operation would be the only full-blown uranium mine along the Eastern Seaboard, and critics contend that the wet, hurricane-prone climate of southern Virginia is a bad fit for the highly delicate business.
Geologists discovered the Chatham uranium in the late 1970s on a hunch that the local rocks looked promising. They drove down a gravel road in a pickup mounted with a Geiger counter that suddenly went wild over the radiation readings. Mining plans were hatched quickly, but they fell through when the price of uranium crashed.
Decades later Walter Coles, retired from the Foreign Service, settled down to a life of raising cattle and hunting quail on his ancestral lands. But, he said in an interview, the price of uranium rose and mining companies around the world came knocking.
Coles instead decided, with a neighbor and Canadian investors, to form Virginia Uranium Inc. and try to get permission to mine it himself .
Needed nuclear fuel?
"It is an incredible deposit," said Charles Ebinger, the director of the energy security initiative at the Brookings Institution, a research center in Washington.
Ebinger said there were uranium mines in a wide variety of climates all over the world. "Uranium mining is not that dangerous; obviously, you have to make sure your uranium tailings don't get into streams and creeks and rivers, but there are plenty of ways to do that," he said.
He thinks, though, that the United States is moving away from nuclear energy as cheap natural gas and flat electricity demand make nuclear power less competitive. That makes it tougher to argue in favor of the mine, said Ebinger, who's a supporter of nuclear energy.
Mine backers say its estimated 119 million pounds of uranium are badly needed domestically for energy independence. The United States imports more than 90 percent of the uranium for its nuclear reactors. Most comes from Russia, Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan and Namibia.
"Other than Canada and Australia it is not exactly a who's who of the most friendly and stable countries," said Patrick Wales, the director of the Virginia Uranium mining project.
Developers of the mine say they welcome the scrutiny of local, state and federal regulators and will meet or exceed their standards. Opponents recite examples of uranium spills elsewhere and say they fear that severe flooding or storms could scatter the waste.
A 2011 National Academy of Sciences study found that "steep hurdles" need to be surmounted before Virginia can mine and process uranium safely.
Plans call for the uranium ore from the 200-acre deposit to be mined underground rather than in an open pit. But a major concern of opponents is the milling that separates the ore from the rock and produces a sandy substance called yellowcake. It would be trucked out, while the remaining waste rock laced with uranium, called tailings, would be stored at the site for generations.
The 443,000-population city of Virginia Beach did a study last year that found a devastating storm could lead to tailings contamination of Lake Gaston, which supplies drinking water to Virginia Beach and towns and counties along the border of Virginia and North Carolina. Mine developers dispute the study and say their plan to store the waste in containment units below the ground should ease such fears.
North Carolina protests
Opposition in North Carolina has spread from towns near the potentially affected areas to the state capital. Eighteen towns, counties and economic groups have passed resolutions in opposition, including Henderson, Creedmoor and the Roanoke River Mayors Association.
A trio of North Carolina Republican state lawmakers sent Virginia's Gov. Bob McDonnell a letter of opposition Dec. 13. The lawmakers, representing the North Carolina Environmental Review Commission, warned that a spillage of radioactive waste would flow into Kerr Lake, a reservoir that spans both states. The Kerr Lake reservoir, owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, provides water for Henderson and Oxford as well as the counties of Warren, Vance, Franklin and Granville. It could be a future water source for Creedmoor, Raleigh and Durham, if those cities are granted access to the reservoir in the coming decades for their growing populations.
The North Carolina lawmakers also said contamination could go farther downstream to endanger "many communities in northeast North Carolina." The toxic waste would behave much like mercury, working its way up the food chain through fish, eagles and other wildlife.
The bipartisan Environmental Review Commission is asking the full North Carolina Legislature to pass a resolution opposing uranium mining in Virginia. The draft resolution, which might be taken up as early as February, says that even if a radioactive release weren't lethal, the resulting stigma and negative publicity would harm the state as a business and tourist destination.
"All it takes is a little flood and you've got problems," said North Carolina Rep. Jim Crawford Jr., a Democrat who represents Granville and Vance counties. "If you have a hurricane in that part of Virginia, it would be Katy bar the door."
Virginia uranium project director Wales said his company was dedicated to protecting the Chatham area, where its employees raised their families, and that doing so also would protect the communities downstream. "If North Carolinians are worried about tailings, they should be comforted to know that we've committed to putting all tailings belowground," Wales said. "Belowground tailings management is a technology specifically designed to eliminate releases of tailings to the surrounding environment."
Wales said it was ironic that North Carolina had no prohibition on uranium mining, so if the Virginia deposit were across the border it could be developed.
"If the North Carolina Legislature wants to prohibit mining in their state they can go right ahead," he said. "I firmly believe in the 10th Amendment, where states themselves decide what happens in their states."
North Carolina gets 45 percent of its electricity from nuclear power. The nuclear electricity share is 38 percent in Virginia. The Coles Hill deposit, the seventh largest in the world, is estimated by its developers to have enough uranium to fuel every nuclear reactor in the United States for two years, or Virginia's nuclear reactors for the next 75 years.
Could be up to Virginia
Virginia alone can't approve the mine. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a federal agency, also would have to sign off on it. The agency would do an environmental impact statement that might take more than two years.
When asked, Larry Camper, the head of environmental protection for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said he wasn't aware of his agency ever fully rejecting such an application. So the mine's fate might rest entirely on whether Virginia lifts its moratorium on uranium mining. The state's politicians are sharply divided.
Virginia Republican Sen. Watkins calls it a "unique opportunity to create jobs and economic development while contributing to our nation's energy independence."
But the delegate who represents the area with the proposed mine site, Republican Don Merricks, says there are too many unanswered questions to allow it. Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, the job creation czar for Virginia's governor, announced Dec. 14 that he also opposes ending the uranium ban.
"If something did go wrong, the impact of that could be catastrophic," he said. "Environmentally speaking, the risks of proceeding with this operation outweigh the benefit."
Republican Gov. McDonnell is still studying the issue.
Meanwhile, tensions simmer in Chatham, a small town whose main street is dominated by its Greek Revival-style courthouse from 1853 and a memorial to Confederate dead from the Civil War. Signs at the nearby uranium deposit say, "Stop Whining, Start Mining." But there's also a brisk trade in neon yellow "Keep the Ban" T-shirts.
Fifty-two-year-old Kay Patrick, who lives about five miles away, said she was unconvinced by the arguments that the mine wouldn't contaminate her home. "It's going to be an ugly thing," she said.

The wya I see it is... They gotta win on the road at some point and so why not now?
We are healthy and we are playing more and more like the time when Baron first initially arrived to the W's. We are playing Nelly Ball both on D and Offense...frantic pace and disrupting the other team's star player's concentration appears to be working. We lost the Portland game for a lot of reasons (Beginning the game flat, no energy, MORE IMPORTANTLY NO BARON). Like it or not, Baron is the Steve Nash of the Warriors... When he plays we respond differently. Call it a swagger, call it whatever you want, he is a bonafide superstar/entertainer and he plays that way on the court.
Baron needs to just PUNISH the pg in this game! We are better and deeper than the Sonics so its time to play like a playoff team!

Well thank god for that....talk about holding your breath. The bloody stats and play by plays weren't bloody working properly. In fact the play by plays weren't working at all....but we won dammit!!! Yes!! Ok, it shouldn't have been this close, but we've finally shown we can win an away/back to back game. Not to mention a close game, that you'd usually expect us to lose.
the officiating was horrible...and mentally those bad calls can mess up a player's psyche. however, i was pleasantly surprised at how the warriors handled the obvious frustrations on the court. you can see it in the way that the team was playing how important it was to win. the warriors don't get respect from officials...so the only way to win is to play the best basketball you possibly can to win the game and i think they demonstrated that. greeaaaat game.. but i prefer to just see the warriors cruise through to the playoffs than scare the **** out of me with these close games lol.
Great win - well, I sort of had the prediction right. I said that the W's would get an early lead, and then hang on for the win....'course I left out the part about getting behind in the 3rd quarter and being behind by 7 with 3 minutes left......
Clutch shot by Jackson to cut the lead to 5, and then Davis took over. As others have noted, it shouldn't have been that close but it's encouraging that they found a way to win.
Now sit back and watch the Clips lose to The Nets tomorrow (hopefully), and then watch the Lakers and TWolves fight it out on ESPN tomorrow night.

cladden wrote:Man. I absolutely knew we were going to lose this after the first five of the third. Notice how much more clutch we've been since the trade? We're actually winning close games now.
Hadn't really thought about it, but I went and checked the results. Before the trade, the Warriors were 5-8 in games decided by 5 points or less. After the trade, they are 5-4 in such games. So I guess you are most definitely right!

Flow cytometry is widely used in areas of research that require analysis or isolation of cells from suspension. This technology makes use of fluorescent probes targeted to specific cell-associated molecules to characterize the diversity and function of complex cell populations. In addition to analysis,fluorescence-activated cell sorters can individually identify and isolate live cells with defined phenotype that can later be expanded and/or further studied.
The Cedars-Sinai Flow Cytometry Core is equipped with state-of-art equipment for cell analysis and sorting. Specialized staff is available Monday through Friday to assist users in analysis and to perform cell sorting. The core is open for independent acquisition by trained users 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In addition to providing flow cytometry–related services and consultation, the core seeks to make the newest advances in flow cytometry technology available to the research community. With institutional support, the core sponsors and organizes technology seminars and flow cytometry–related basic courses for Cedars-Sinai users. The core is under the direction of Gislaine Martins, PhD, who is a member of the F. Widjaja Foundation Inflammatory Bowel and Immunobiology Research Institute and an assistant professor at the Department of Medicine and the Department of Biomedical Sciences Research, Division of Immunology. Research in the Martins Laboratory focuses on T lymphocyte function in health and disease.

General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroen have confirmed the creation of a "long-term and broad-scale" strategic alliance they expect to contribute to improved profitability and competitiveness, especially in the weak European market where both makers have been struggling.
As part of their new partnership GM will take a 7% equity stake in the French manufacturer, becoming the second-largest shareholder in PSA after the founding Peugeot family, which will continue to hold a one-third stake in the firm.
"This partnership brings tremendous opportunity for our two companies," said Dan Akerson, GM CEO and Chairman. "The alliance synergies, in addition to our independent plans, position GM for long-term sustainable profitability in Europe."

While the fact was left unstated, east central Alabama farmers attending an evening meeting in Shorter, recently, were passing an historic milestone.
Peanuts, a crop once confined to the southeastern perimeter of the state, are moving north and west into regions where cotton was once the undisputed king. East central Alabama is no exception.
There are many reasons why, according to Jeff Clary, a retired Alabama Cooperative Extension System agent who has continued working with Extension helping farmers adapt to new technology and trends.
One of them is nematodes — soilborne pests that continue to plague cotton yields, he says.
In addition, cropland, in some cases, is "getting a little worn" — all the more significant now that farmers are learning about the "wonderful things" that can occur when peanuts are planted behind cotton, Clary says.
Other, less tangible factors also are playing a role, notably the buyout of peanut quotas, which made it feasible to raise the crop in other regions of Alabama.
Money, of course, is playing a role too. Despite all the challenges the crop has faced within the last few years, peanuts can still turn a buck, especially in an era when crop diversification is more important than ever. Small wonder why cotton growers had lots of questions, at the meeting, held at the Mistead Cotton Gin at Auburn University's E.V. Smith Research Center in Shorter.
Randy Griggs, president of the Alabama Peanut Producers Association, stressed that peanuts, while often lucrative, also come with their share of risks — one reason why growers should carefully assess their marketing strategy.
"The peanut market is changing — it's more volatile than it used to be, and growers need to look at that and all of their market options," Griggs says. "Nobody cares about your bottom line but you, so you need to constantly assess ways you can streamline your efficiency to enhance profitability."
Griggs says it's also crucial for growers to keep abreast of cooperative efforts among growers as well as technological advances that will enable them to continue cutting operating costs.
Following Griggs' remarks, Dallas Hartzog, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System peanut agronomist and Auburn University professor of agronomy, introduced the growers to the basics of peanut production.
One essential rule of thumb for launching a successful peanut operation is finding someone equipped to provide accurate, up-to-date advice on production practices.
"There are lots of people giving advice, but this is your money," Hartzog stressed. "Your job is to evaluate who you're going to take advice from."
He cited experienced peanut growers as comprising one of the best sources of advice. He also introduced members to the Alabama Peanut Team, comprised of regional Extension agents and specialists, as another crucial source of information.
Austin Hagan, an Extension plant pathologist and Auburn University alumni professor of entomology and plant pathology, also emphasized the importance of controlling peanut diseases.
"Peanuts are different from cotton," Hagan said. "With peanuts, diseases have a major impact on yields and can have long-term implications on whether you will have a successful crop."
Eddie Segrest, a Macon county farmer who turned out his first crop last year was also on hand to answer questions from perspective growers and to offer practical advice.
More than 60 growers and others attended the meeting, including one Mississippi Delta producer.
Reflecting on the meeting, Clary says he still finds himself shaking his head whenever he thinks about the changes that have overtaken east central Alabama farming in recent years.
"Not too long ago, we were all cotton producers," he says. "Peanuts weren't even considered, but because of the evolving needs of Alabama agriculture, they're now an up-and-coming crop — something I wouldn't have imagined 30 years ago as a young Extension agent," he says.

Is this proof correct? To prove $F(A)\cap F(B)\subseteq F(A\cap B) $ for all functions $F$.
Let any number $y\in F(A)\cap F(B)$. We want to show $y\in F(A\cap B).$
Therefore, $y\in F(A)$ and $y\in F(B)$, by definition of intersection.
By definition of inverse, $y=F(x)$ for some $x\in A$ and $x\in B$
And so, $y=F(x)$ for some $x\in A\cap B$
And therefore, $y\in F(A\cap B)$
I have a gut feeling deep down that something is wrong. Can anyone help me pinpoint the mistake? I am not sure why am I having so much problems with functions. Am I not thinking in the right direction?

Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi announced his "last great electoral and political battle" on Sunday with a sweeping promise to cut taxes and the cost of government if his center-right wins elections this month.
In a passionate and much anticipated speech to supporters in Milan, the city where he built his fortune, he said only his center right could lift Italy out of the dark fog of recession and re-establish trust between government and citizens.
His political opponents were quick to deride him. Caretaker Prime Minister Mario Monti said Berlusconi "has never kept any of his promises" and one center-left parliamentarian called the speech "a laundry list of stupidities."
The centerpiece of Berlusconi's fiery speech was the unveiling of what he had billed beforehand as a "shock proposal" - a promise to reimburse Italian families for a much-hated tax on their primary residences.
That tax, known as IMU, was imposed last year by Monti's technocrat government to help with Italy's financial crisis, after it had been abolished in 2008 by Berlusconi.
The master communicator peppered his speech with repetitions of the words "tax" "taxpayer" and "tax man" along with references to "the anxiety of families."
He said he would scrap the tax at his first cabinet meeting and refund payments already made.
He promised a center-right government would eliminate a regional tax on businesses over the course of five years, reduce personal income tax rates, would not increase VAT and would not impose a so-called "wealth tax" on higher earners.
"I have nothing to ask for myself," said Berlusconi, 76, one of Italy's richest men. "I want to fight one last great electoral and political battle."
Gianfranco Fini, the speaker of the lower house of parliament who broke with Berlusconi in 2010, tweeted that in his second cabinet meeting, Berlusconi would "decree that everyone wins the lottery."
Berlusconi took simultaneous swipes at both Monti's centrist coalition and the center left, saying: "I want to help Italy get out of this dark atmosphere the technical tax men have put it in, and in which the tax men of the left will leave it mired."
Italy is deep in recession. Last month the central bank forecast that GDP will fall 1.0 percent this year rather than the previously forecast 0.2 percent. Unemployment is seen climbing from 8.4 percent in 2011 to 12 percent by 2014.
One candidate running for Monti's centrist group called the speech tantamount to "vote-buying," and Rosy Bindi, president of the center-left Democratic Party, slammed it as "dangerous electoral propaganda."
Berlusconi said revenue to cover the elimination of the real estate tax on primary residences would come in part from striking a deal with Switzerland to tax financial activities there by Italian citizens.
He also promised a number of measures to cut the cost of government, to halve the number of parliamentarians, to cut government waste, and to eliminate public financing of political parties.
Most opinion polls indicate that the center-left coalition, headed by Democratic Party Secretary Pier Luigi Bersani, will win the Feb. 24-25 election.
But the gap between the center left and the center right has been narrowing steadily since Berlusconi returned to active politics. On Sunday even La Repubblica, a left-leaning paper, ran an editorial headlined: "If Berlusconi's horse wins the race."
Berlusconi told cheering supporters: "We think we are close to an historic result. Simply put, we are sure we are going to win."
But the media magnate, who stepped down in November 2011 when Monti's technocrat government was installed to lead Italy out of a full-blown economic crisis, will not be prime minister again if the center right wins.
That job will go to Angelino Alfano, secretary of Berlusconi's People of Freedom party.
Berlusconi had said earlier that he would be the economy minister in a center-right government. In his speech on Sunday, he said he would be both economy minister and industry minister.
"That is, if Angelino Alfano reconfirms his trust in me," joked Berlusconi, who has been the voice and face of the center-right campaign, often leaving Alfano in his shadow.

Every year we try to go on a big trek, one that takes us far far away and high into the mountains. For us, it's not only a way to exercise our bodies, but to clear and challenge our minds. It's a way to disconnect from all that is part of our daily life — technology, social media, blogging — and reconnect with nature and ourselves.
Our trek of the Markha Valley in Ladakh in India's high Himalayas was one of our favorite treks of all time. We had dangerously high expectations, having dreamed of this region for over a decade. Fortunately, what we found in Ladakh and on our trek far exceeded what we had imagined, not only in terms of the stunning landscape but also the Ladakhi people.
Having fielded numerous questions about trekking in Ladakh — which trek to choose, how to find a trekking agency, when to go, how to get there, and more — we've created this Ladakh Trekking Beginner's Guide. We hope it encourages you to make the long journey to Ladakh overland from jumping off points like Srinigar, Kashmir. You won't be sorry.
Short attention span warning: This is a long post. The reason: it contains all we wished we'd found when we researched our own trip to Ladakh. Here is my attempt to put together all you need to know to choose, organize and then enjoy a trek in Ladakh. If questions remain, let us know!
Update: You can now buy the Ladakh Trekking: A Beginner's Guide with all the information from this site plus lots of extra details and other goodies (like packing and other preparation) in an easy ebook that you can download and take with you.
Choosing a trek in Ladakh
There are loads of trekking choices in Ladakh. Your choice will depend on the amount of time you have, how remote you'd like to go, and the difficultly level you seek. Some of the more remote treks require special permits as they may go into sensitive border areas, but trekking agencies can easily take care of this for you within a day or two.
There are endless variations of treks you can take in Ladakh, with many taking you to remote areas and can go up to three weeks. You can find a full list of Ladakh trekking options here.
Some of the more popular treks in Ladakh include:
- Markha Valley Trek (6-7 days): This is the one that we chose because it combined hiking and landscapes with people and culture by incorporating homestays with families in villages along the way. For us, this combination is ideal and resulted in a trekking experience that exceeded our expectations. The Markha Valley Trek is also the most popular Ladakh trek and we're told it can get crowded in the high season (July and August). If you travel to Ladakh during high season, take this into consideration and perhaps choose a less popular trek to avoid crowded trails and home accommodations.
- Hidden Valleys of Ladakh, Zanskar Range (9-10 days): This trek takes you into the Zanskar range and through small villages throughout the valley area. Camping gear is required as it's not possible to do homestays for the entire trek.
- Nubra Valley (5-6 days): This can either be done without much trekking for 2-3 days, or it can be a fuller trekking experience with camping, camel rides and more. We've heard the area is quite beautiful.
- Kharnak trek (15 days): Begins like the Markha Valley trek but continues further south for another week. A Ladakhi trekking guide told us this is one of his favorite treks.
- Rumtse to Tsomoriri (8-9 days): This was another favorite trek from a guide we spoke to because of the beauty of the lakes and the joy of interaction with shepherds along the way. This trek is on the short list for when we return.
Note: No matter which trek you choose, please remember that Ladakh is a high desert with a fragile environment. As visitors, we need to respect this reality and try to reduce our impact. Here is some good advice on traveling responsibly in Ladakh.
To trek independently or with a guide?
Some treks require a guide due to the difficulty of the trail or local regulations. Other routes like the Markha Valley Trek can be done independently (e.g., without a guide) because the trail is pretty well marked and there are villages to stay in throughout the way. You then have the decision of whether to go on your own or hire a guide. Factors include: budget, your trekking experience, skill at reading trekking maps, and weather. Let's examine these.
Although our Markha Valley trek could have been done without a guide, we were thankful to have one. Having a local guide provided us with the peace of mind that we were always on the right path (as some of you may remember, we have a history of getting lost in mountains). As luck would have it, we crossed our first Markha Valley trek mountain pass in the middle of a snow storm. Without our guide, we never would have found the correct approach. Two guys trekking independently with us said they would have turned back that day if it weren't for our guide to help them find the path. Word to the wise: It pays to hitch a ride with Dan and Audrey…if they have a guide!
Our local guide also provided local context and culture (e.g., Ladakhi Buddhist) to the experience. We asked him many questions about his life growing up in a remote village in Ladakh and the changes he'd seen in his short lifetime. He served as an interpreter, providing us the flexibility to have conversations with families we stayed with or ask questions of people we'd met along the way.
So while trekking Ladakh independently may save you some money and perhaps allow you a little more flexibility, our experience proved to us beyond a doubt that the benefits of having a guide in this region far outweighs the costs.
Ladakh Accommodation and Sleeping Options: Camping or Homestay?
Some treks will give you the option of either camping or homestays (staying with Ladakhi families in villages). Here are the advantages and disadvantages of both.
Camping: The primary advantage of camping (if you are going with an agency) is that it includes a horse to carry your bags so you don't have to haul your stuff on your back up to 5,000+ meters and back down again. Another bonus: you can sometimes camp closer to passes, making for easier ascents. A perhaps obvious disadvantage of camping: sleeping in a tent when it's rainy and cold or blowing snow can be unpleasant. In addition, this option is usually more expensive as you'll need your own cook and horse guide in addition to your trekking guide.
Homestays: If the trek you choose offers the option of homestays, we suggest taking it. Staying with Ladakhi families in villages throughout our Markha Valley trek was absolutely one of the highlights and delights of the experience. The people, culture and tradition ground you. Food (see below) is also a fun facet. Not to mention, homestays are typically less expensive than camping.
What to expect in a Ladakhi homestay:
- Home-cooked meals: All food is vegetarian, which is better and safer for the digestive system, particularly at altitude. Alert the trekking agency, your guide and host families in advance if you have any food allergies. Dinner is often quite hearty and is either a traditional Tibetan/Ladakhi meal like momos (Tibetan dumplings) or temo (twisted bread dumplings) with daal (lentils) or greens from the garden. All our dinners were made freshly for us and were very tasty. Breakfast, a little less remarkable, usually consists of Indian flat bread (chapatis) with butter and jelly, while lunch is some sort of bread with packaged sliced cheese, hard boiled egg and some snacks.
- Sleeping area: Sleeping in homestays usually consists of mattresses on the ground with lots of blankets piled on top. If you're trekking in the high season you might need to share your room with other trekkers. For us, we had our own room most nights. Take a sleep sack with you. Sheets looked pretty clean, but it was unclear when the last time blankets were cleaned.
- Toilets: Expect bleak. Outhouses or compost toilets are usually attached to the house or just outside. They do the trick, but don't expect any luxury here. Bring a headlamp so you don't, um, accidentally slip and fall.
- Common room: Some of the best memories at the homestays come from hanging around drinking tea around the traditional stove in the big common room. The bedroom is for sleeping, but this common room is where you should spend most of your time during a homestay.
What to look for in a Ladakhi trekking agency and guide.
Book a tour in advance or on the ground?
We did not make any bookings or inquiries for treks before arriving in Leh. We figured that we would use the two to three days acclimatizing in Leh (absolutely required if you plan to enjoy your trek) to research all our options and book our trek. Since we traveled in shoulder season, this provided plenty of time to make our arrangements.
If you decide to travel during high season (July-August), you may not have the same flexibility. Consider sending a few email inquiries in advance to be certain that agencies are not already at capacity with their guides and tours.
Choosing a trekking agency in Leh
You will see trekking agents everywhere in Leh. Many of them will have signs outside advertising their treks, as well as notices if they are looking for more people to fill treks with specific departure dates. The idea here is that the more people who trek together and share a guide, the lower the per-person cost should be. We originally hoped to join one of these treks, but the timing didn't work out with our schedule.
We walked around Leh for an afternoon visiting various agencies asking questions about trek options, costs, departure dates and flexibility to add on stops. Most of the trekking agencies gave us a similar price range so our decision was made based on the feeling we got from the agency (e.g., did the agency feel like a middleman or were they actually responsible for their own guides and tours), their patience, and their flexibility to accommodate special requests.
We chose Ecological Footprint in the end because we liked how the owner, Stanzin, explained all our options and was flexible to work with us to create a trek that met our needs, not just one that fit into a prepackaged box. In addition, Stanzin is Ladakhi and know the community well. All the tours he operates use local people and aim to invest back into the communities. So while the tour was slightly more expensive than what some of the other tour agencies were offering, we felt that the price was worth it for the quality of the experience. We believed that our money was well spent.
We can also highly recommend our guide from Ecological Footprint, Dorjee Tondup. He is young but wise beyond his years (21 at the time of our trek) and dispenses bits of perspective and peace everywhere he goes. His respectful approach to local people opened doors for us everywhere. His approach to everyone he met served as a lesson for life. He guides on all the major Ladakh trekking routes.
Choosing a guide
Although you may or may not have the option to choose a specific Ladakh trekking guide, we offer a few questions and suggestions to help you find a good match.
1) Ask to meet the guide before you leave on your trek.
This is something we usually do before any trek to give us peace of mind that we'll get along well with our guide. We've never had to change guides, but if you do think that the guide assigned to you will be problematic then ask for a change. Remember, it's a long journey. It will be particularly long if you must spend it with someone who rubs you the wrong way. Not to mention, you'll want someone you feel comfortable with and trust in the case that weather or health turn south. We know this firsthand because a guide from another agency who trekked alongside us in Ladakh annoyed absolutely everyone, including his own client. We spent energy trying to avoid him.
2) Ask for a Ladakhi guide.
During high season in Ladakh, demand for guides is high and so people come from all over India to guide for the summer. We don't want to discriminate, but we feel that you'll have a better experience with someone who is a Ladakhi guide because of the knowledge of local culture and language. Our trekking companions had an Indian guide, and while he knew the mountain trails, he didn't know the families running the homestays or the Ladakhi language and culture.
3) Explain any special needs to the guide.
This goes for medical needs, as well as any other idiosyncrasies you might have. For example, we take a lot of photos so we stop a lot on the trail and slow things down. Alerting the guide in advance of this behavior lets the guide know not to worry when it takes us a while to go from point A to B. He can adjust his pace accordingly. One of the women trekking at the same time as us had back issues, so her guide would often carry one of her bags for her when her back ached. The idea: help your guide help you.
Estimated Costs for Markha Valley Trek (2013 Trekking Season)
Our total costs for our Markha Valley Trek (6 nights/7 days) including a guide, accommodation (homestay), food and transport to/from the trek was 13,000 rupees ($220) per person in 2013 (have heard that this has gone up to 17,000/person in 2014 with inflation and higher homestay prices). This also included a stop at Hemis Monastery on the way back to Leh. (Not all trekking agencies offer this, so ask about it. We really enjoyed the additional stop on the return and recommend it.)
This was slightly cheaper than some of the other trekking agencies who had a standard fee of 2,000 rupees ($34) per person per day. A few places offered bare bone prices at 1,600 rupees per person per day. Understand that you typically get what you pay for.
Homestay costs on Markha Valley Trek:
If you do decide to do the Markha Valley Trek independently, find out in Leh what the official rate is for homestays that year. The official rate is a standard amount set every year by the homestay association so that the families all charge the same amount and don't try to underbid each other (thereby causing tensions in the community). During the 2013 trekking season, the standard homestay rate was 500 rupees ($9) per night per person. This included dinner, breakfast and a packed lunch. Update: The 2014 homestay rate is 800 rupees per night and 1,200 rupees for the tent at Nimiling.
When to Trek in Ladakh?
The trekking season in Ladakh really begins to take off early-to-mid June and runs until September. The high season is July and August with August being the busiest month. Rains usually start late August to September. If you can time it, we recommend going early in the shoulder season in June. Note that weather is always the wild card, however.
Our trek was mid-June and there was hardly anyone (6 people) along our entire Markha Valley route. This meant that the homestays were not crowded and there were no traffic jams on the paths. We experienced a surprise snowstorm on our second morning at the first pass, but that just added to the excitement and meant that all the mountains around us sported a beautiful covering of snow.
Acclimatization and Accommodation in Leh before Trekking
No matter which trek you choose, be sure to spend at least two days acclimatizing in Leh (or wherever the setting off point of your Ladakh trek happens to be). Take a walk through the old town up to Leh Palace and Namgyal Tsemo Gompa. This helps get the blood pumping and the legs moving. It also gives you some experience climbing hills at altitude.
The owner of Ecological Footprints, the trekking agency we used, has recently opened up a guesthouse called EcoResidency. We haven't stayed there yet, but it looks quite nice. Compare rates for hotels in Leh.
If you are susceptible to altitude sickness, consider taking even more time to acclimatize in Leh. Your hike will be more enjoyable and successful for it.
Food recommendations in Leh:
Summer Harvest: Best momos in town. We feel confident in this statement as we sampled momos in four different restaurants and kitchens in town. Be sure to ask for the homemade hot sauce. We never ventured beyond momos (they were that good), but other dishes emerging from the kitchen looked tasty as well.
German bakeries: Don't ask me why, but Leh is bursting with German bakeries. They don't all have their own ovens, so it seems like they get their baked goods from a central German bakery source. If you're craving a cinnamon roll or some quasi European pastries, stop by one of these and enjoy with a chai. Quality is mixed, but when you consider how remote you are, you'll be grateful.
Lassi guy: In the alleyway just to the right of the mosque on Leh Bazaar is a tiny place with this friendly guy making and selling yogurt and paneer (Indian cheese). For a few rupees he'll create a fresh sweet or salty lassi for you and invite you in to enjoy a seat while he explains how he makes it all. Highly recommended.
Monasteries and Other Sites in Ladakh
On our return journey from Leh to Srinigar we hired a driver from Leh to take us to visit a few monasteries on the way to Lamayuru, where we dropped us off and then picked up in the evening (pre-arranged) by a driver/shared jeep en route to Srinigar for the overnight drive.
Likir Monastery
While traveling, we often find ourselves focused on the present. This is a good thing. Then, something helps us appreciate the history, the roots of where we happen to be. This too, is useful because it provides perspective.
Likir Buddhist Monastery in Ladakh, at almost 1,000 years old, is one of those places.
For much of our visit to Likir Monastery we were alone, save a sole monk who tidied up and made sure visitors took their shoes off before entering the temples. We enjoyed it all in peace and found ourselves stepping back, literally and figuratively, just trying to imagine how monks had gathered in those spaces for centuries — chanting, meditating, praying.
Alchi Monastery
Built in the 10th to 11th century, Alchi Monastery is made up of three major shrines. It's located not far from Leh, so it's an easy to visit on a day trip or en route to Lamayuru (like we did).
Lamayuru Monastery
Lamayuru is one of the small towns in Ladakh, named after the famous Lamayuru Monastery perched high above the town. It's a nice walk up to the monastery with a view of the town below, interesting chortens in this high desert landscape, and intimate temples.
Transport: How to get to Ladakh
Unless you have your own set of wheels (or wings) there are three main routes to get to and from Ladakh.
By Bus to Leh:
Srinigar to Leh: You have the option to take a two-day "Super Deluxe" bus (overnight in Kargil) or a 12-hour shared ride in a private jeep (with 6 other passengers). Both leave from the same area in Srinagar. Please note that the roads are only open for a short period each year, usually from May – September.
We flew from Mumbai to Srinagar and then took the bus up to Leh and a shared jeep for the return leg to Srinagar. If you have more time, consider taking the train from wherever you are in India to Jammu and pepper in a few strategic visits and stops along the way to Srinagar.
There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages to the bus and jeep. While the bus ride from Srinagar to Leh is long and not particularly comfortable, you are able to take a lot of photos out the window, as the pace is glacial, snail-like for much of the way. It's also an experience to travel with locals (e.g., Buddhist monks hopping on and off) and fellow adventurous travelers. Suggestion: try not to focus on the missing guardrails along the way. A dose of fatalism may also help.
Cost (2014): Bus tickets = 1,050 R/person. Jeep price depends on your negotiation skills, but usually costs between 1,500-1,800Rs/person.
Manali to Leh: This route from the south also features the option of a 2-day bus trip vs. 16-20 hours in a shared jeep. We didn't take this route so can't speak to it firsthand, but we met several people who did. The roads seem to be in worse shape than the Srinagar route, but you go over four large mountain passes which are supposed to be stunning. If you're coming from Delhi, this is the more direct route. The roads are usually open for a few months of the year, again from June – September.
By Plane to Ladakh
Flying into Leh is certainly more expedient, but you'll miss the beauty and adventure of the roads. The views from the skies in the mountains are supposed to pretty spectacular, however. Be sure to leave buffer days in your travel schedule if you fly as flights are frequently canceled due to bad weather.
Most planes fly from either Delhi, Srinagar and Mumbai (new in 2016). Try to book your tickets early as prices go up very quickly.
Note: Originally we were going to put our trekking packing list here, but as this article was already rather long we decided to publish it in a separate post. Here is the Ultimate Trekking Packing List with all the details on what to bring with you on a Ladakh (or any other) multi-day trek!

Vinner, of course you are the most fun 1v1er... but I miss some of the past players. Cahboom, I don't recall if he was ever sober.
Also Vinner, I am waiting for you to do one on me. Urg's was awesome but I was very much anticipating you doing me... in THAT way and in the way of this thread. I was curious how my story would be told in your epic language.
And yes, we need to mention Seredir. I left him out of my posts because I still play w/him regularly. Although an interesting part of that story is that we used to hate each other, until one day we grouped up and wrecked people.
Regarding Khaotik/Dracen... I never played w/Khaotic but I saw Dracen do more things with his LM than anyone. The 2v1 is supposedly true, as is his solo defeat of a group of 5 creeps. But most impressive is the spawn of LMs that he had as disciples: Winn, Sowen, Gariador (I think? Or maybe Gari taught Dracen... neither would surprise me) and even yours truly... Katsimbalis. Dracen was one of the first LMs to experiment with different legendary staffs/books in the moors and would interchange them regularly depending on what he was up to. He's one of the few people whose skill I truly respect...
Strangely enough, I have played on Brandy, E, and Windfola extensively. The people I respect the most for their skill at this game all came from Gladden. Huh.
Making [c][f]reeps rage log since 2008.
That was one of the only moors battles that has a youtube video associated with it.
and it's still up!!!

Whilst a mixed group of Soldiers and Dark ones was camping Glan Vraig and the army of Ootyfast, a covert stealth counter-force arose from the shadows. Late at night, a band of drunk burglars co-operated to melt creeps in a manner of seconds. The call was sounded: "Strike from the Shadows!" and a creep target would die before it could even be bubbled. Many a creep fell to the blade of the burglar's dagger, and the exploits were recorded on video to live for all time.

Also, I gotta say Vinner.. good work with all the work you have put into this thread and the thread that shall not be reply'd to - Good job... WELL PLAYED SIR!!!
My take on a couple more Gladden legends:
Sowen has been mentioned already, but I'll add my two cents. He was a warleader's NIGHTMARE. If Sowen was on you, good luck getting any heals off in those days of no newfangled stances and traits to give inductionless heals.
Grakrat/Yandros - One of my old Red Sun Rising officers. He was one of the funniest people you could hang out with, miss that guy.
Clown - Back when I first started on the moors in Vol1 Book 13, he could still be found on a guard named Fair. I got to know him when he joined my (at the time brand new) tribe on his warg Pet, but he truly came into his own as Clown the minstrel. My most epic memory of him is of him and some buddies running around when he was around level 40ish on his minstrel, dressed in cosmetic clothing, wielding shovels and other goofy weapons from the Shire, chasing me around outside TR when I was giving Aristeides' baby reaver his Grams map tour on his very first day on the Gladden moors before he actually transferred his cappy. It was surreal, hilarious, and very much in keeping with what appears to be Clown's battle philosophy: if you're not having fun with it, don't bother. These days we have to share custody of him with Riddermark (grrrr) but he can still be found here and there.
Others who need writeups:
All those other brave minstrels who healed against The Blender back in the pre-Moria days, but I can't remember most of their names anymore. And a lot of them were female. There was Fruito, and some other whose character name started with Sh-something I think, and Gunnor's wife I think but I can't remember her name at all, started with a T maybe?

another battle-ish from a few years back...
Kinda a collection of battles, but this was also captured on youtube and still up I see....being on noob reaver for the GV hill fight(s) was pretty fun...fights lasted forever. Notable shots captured in vid iirc...defiler KB on Ser (2 rare events combined! lol), rabbit ears on Naz (first on server I think Vin?), and Didnthurt hitting rank12....first BA (maybe even creep?) on server.
Thank goodness there was no freepball landing vids....though it would prolly just be a mass of pixals and maniacal laughter

RIP Milkmefondly 2014
One thing you missed with Azareth was that he was also an avid star farmer, I believe his name at one point was Azareth Starfarmer, he was also a world first 5 star champion I think, and was pretty amazing how he could run into a group of creeps take out who he wanted, but also survive from a creeps point of a view, i never ever seen him with less then 3 stars out in the moors. Also he had a 5 star hunter named Drastyk and a 5 star warg named evilpaw, he used to play his hunter with urthona and sammoth only (seredir's hunter) they would run around with 5 stars at all times, and df on sight of any creeps more then 1-2. This was the star farming group known as the trio.
Strike from the shadows was actually before Kait came back. The creep group was Vile Servants of Dol Guldur, me, then a mish mash of a few others only two or so in dark ones. Titties was in vent with us, every few minutes he'd say "Ok, watch this." and someone would go down in a blaze of reveal weaknesses and cursing. I remember us just trying to keep the out of groupers there with us so the burgs could eat them. Still fondly remember that evening. I miss Kozz and Antilles on their &&&& warleaders.
Hmm I realized I'm blind and thought Soldiers said 2H1R. And considering the make up of VSoDG was a bunch of old Soldiers I guess that works. Still little to no dark ones. And we were all drunk, winding down from some raid, GV campin the handful of freeps that stayed out.

Precision guidance signals continue to expand across the country. Today, over 300 million acres in North America receive a Trimble AgGPS real-time kinematic (RTK) network signal. An RTK signal lets growers operate automated steering equipment with 1-in. repeatable accuracy. More than 40 RTK networks are equipped with the Trimble RTK systems.
An individual 100-ft. tower will cover 100,000 to 120,000 acres. The networks usually are owned and operated by independent agricultural dealers like Kunau Implement of DeWitt, IA. Kunau, a Case IH dealership, helped Trimble celebrate its achievement of over 300 million acres of coverage at the dealership's GPS field day in August.

Q. What are some heart attack symptoms in women?
Q. What are some heart attack symptoms in women?
A. This is such an important question to ask because of its relevancy. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in America. We've all been trained to think of that classic scene of an older man falling to the ground, clutching his chest when we think of a heart attack, but it's not always the case. In many cases, its women — and the symptoms are much harder to detect.
Here is a list of the top heart attack signs in women to help keep you or a loved one informed:
Pressure: Sometimes it will feel as if an elephant is sitting on your chest, or sometimes it will feel like an uncomfortable squeezing or fullness. If the pressure doesn't go away or returns within minutes, this could be a sign of a heart attack. Women especially need to pay attention to more subtle signs because these symptoms can mimic those of the flu or acid reflux.
Pain in arm(s): That goes for back, neck and jaw as well. This symptom could be the most confusing because of the unusual locations and is experienced more often by women than men. Any unusual pain above the waist that heightens and lowers within a few minutes is cause to contact your health care provider.
Shortness of breath: You should be alarmed if you experience the kind of shortness of breath you would feel if you were running, but you're standing perfectly still. If this symptom is unexplained, there may be a problem. This can also occur with or without chest pain and may be accompanied by unexplained nausea, lightheadedness or breaking out in a cold sweat.
Fatigue: Some women experience extreme tiredness while their bodies are at rest. If you can't do simple tasks that you can normally do, such as walk to the kitchen or bend down, this may be a symptom of a heart attack.
The most important thing to remember is to pay attention to your body. If you feel something is off or irregular, contact your health care provider or dial 911. Do not wait more than five minutes before calling for help. No symptom is ever too small to pay attention to.

2014 Wall Calendar: November
Thanksgiving may still be a couple holidays away according to the 2013 clock, but its spirit is the centerpiece behind this illustration for next year's NPR Wall Calendar.
Public radio has been a lifelong travel partner for illustrator Keith Negley as he's moved from the west coast to the east coast - with a few mid-west stops in the mix.
"NPR has enriched my life in ways I can't begin to put into words," Negley said. "I've not only grown up with it, I feel as though I've grown with it. I'm very grateful for its constant source of inspiration."
Considering it's always the right season to give thanks (and let's face it, pumpkins are already trending), here's some love from NPR: We're thankful for stunner listeners and supporters like Negley. You can follow him online at @keithnegley and tune into his favorite station, KUOW Seattle.
Every year, we ask artists and illustrators to channel their NPR listening (and love) into art for the NPR Wall Calendar, and we're sharing these designs with you. The 2014 NPR Wall Calendar is available for purchase in the NPR Shop at shop.npr.org.

MANAGUA, July 5 (Reuters) - Nicaragua has received an asylum request from fugitive former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden and could accept the bid "if circumstances permit," President Daniel Ortega said on Friday.
"We are an open country, respectful of the right of asylum, and it's clear that if circumstances permit, we would gladly receive Snowden and give him asylum in Nicaragua," Ortega said during a speech in the Nicaraguan capital Managua.
Ortega, an ally of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, did not elaborate on the conditions that would allow him to offer asylum to Snowden, who has been at the eye of a diplomatic storm since leaking high-level U.S. intelligence data last month.
Options have been narrowing for Snowden - believed to be staying in a transit area at a Moscow airport - as he seeks a country to shelter him from U.S. espionage charges.
A one-time Cold War adversary of the United States, Ortega belongs to a bloc of leftist leaders in Latin America that have frequently taken up antagonistic positions with Washington.
Nicaragua, one of the poorest countries in the Americas, has benefited greatly from financial support from Venezuela, and Ortega was a staunch ally of late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Chavez's successor Maduro voiced sympathy with Snowden and described him as a champion of human rights. That suggested Venezuela may help Snowden, who is stranded in Moscow after flying there from Hong Kong on June 23, to find a safe haven.
Snowden's bid for Icelandic citizenship hit an impasse earlier on Friday when the country's parliament voted not to debate it before the summer recess.
Afterwards, WikiLeaks announced that Snowden had applied to another six countries for asylum, adding to a list of more than a dozen countries which he has already asked for protection.
The anti-secrecy organization, which has been supporting Snowden's efforts to find a safe haven since his exit from Hong Kong 12 days ago, said on Twitter it could not reveal the names the countries due to "attempted U.S. interference". (Reporting by Ivan Castro; Editing by Philip Barbara)

Dragon Age 2 (PC) review
"There have been complaints, and will be many more, that Dragon Age II is appealing for a more mainstream audience by removing all the fiddling of its predecessor, but I dont think this is a fair accusation. There is very little that you could do before which is no longer possible. The difference is that the extraneous elements have been stripped away, giving the action space to breathe."

|Allegro CL version 9.0
Unrevised from 8.2 to 9.0.
8.2 version
The value of this variable should be a positive fixnum specifying the number of machine clock ticks (defined below) between each sample of the stack taken during data collection by the runtime analyzer. The initial value is 1, indicating one clock tick between each sample. The larger this value is, the more clock ticks between samples and the smaller the frequency of sampling.
The units of this variable are computer clock ticks and the value specifies the number of ticks between samples. A clock tick is an internal, machine dependent span of time. A tick is typically between 1/50 and 1/100 of a second. Some tens of thousands of instructions are executed by the machine in that time.
This variable is ignored by the space runtime analyzer.

Vernon Theatre
10-10 50th Avenue,
Long Island City,
2 people favorited this theater
The Vernon Theatre was a small, late-run movie house that operated in Long Island City, Queens from 1922, but finally succumbed to competion from home televsion in around 1957.
The building still stands and by 2017 was in use as a cafe.
Recent comments (view all 7 comments)
I lived about one block away from the Vernon Theater. If I recall correctly, the Vernon Theater closed in 1957 and the last feature playing was The Incredible Shrinking Man. I still have not gotten over the shock of its closing. I spent most of my youth in that theater, it was truly a neighborhood theater with most of the residents of Hunter Point attending everyday.
this is the building that once housed the Vernon Theater. the brick work w=still shows scars from the old entry arches along the 50th Ave facade
The goggle map shows the north side of 50th Ave., while the old theater was situated on the south side. I tried to re-set it to include the old theater, but it will probably not hold. So, adjust the picture from north to south and you will see the old theater.
While I agree with TT was the Vernon was, in no way, situated in Sunnyside, I have not picked up the reference noting that it was.
John, at the top of the page is a series of arrow-like tabs that appear to be drilling down geographically to the location of the theater: "Movie Theaters, United States, New York, Long Island City, SUNNYSIDE, Vernon Theatre." These are on every theater page and they often contain, for NYC theaters (and Queens in particular) that one neighborhood sub-category that seems completely out of left field. I've stopped trying to figure out the logic, and basically ignore those tabs and stick to what's on the page itself and using the zip-code finder to locate nearby theaters.
Thanks Ed for pointing this out. I am still learning the new system and havn't bothered much with the tabs at the top.
If the Vernon were still extant, it would be situated in the up and coming Hunters Point community, which features new high-rise luxury housing along the East River and a thriving high-end commercial strip along Vernon Blvd. During the theater's hayday, however, Hunters Point was only the name of the geographic point at which the East River meets the northern mouth of Newtown Creek. This gritty. mostly Italian, working class comunity was known simply as Long Island City. It was, in fact, the earliest part of this community to be developed.
During the Vernon's life as a theater, it was situated near the Queens base of the Vernon Blvd. Bridge, which spanned Newtown Creek and connected Long Island City to Greenpoint's main thoroughfare, Manhattan Avenue. It must have been a very busy place. And I can imaging more than a few Greenpointers crossing the bridge to catch a flick – possibly on dish night – at the Vernon and Long Island City residents going into Greenpoint to take in a movie at the Midway.
The Vernon Theatre was in operation by 1914, at which time 50th Avenue was still called Fourth Street. The following advertisement appeared in the classified section of The Moving Picture World, July 4, 1914:
"THE VERNON THEATER.— Comer 4th St. and Vernon Ave., Long Island City is for sale. New Steinway tunnel next door opens soon, factory and apartment houses erected daily. Big boom expected. Property fireproof brick 55 x 100. Fully equipped, 2 machines, Gold Fibre Curtain, Wurlltzer Orchestra, will seat 600. Everything the latest. License new, business good all year. One hundred per cent investment. Ten cents. Stage attached fully equipped. $10,000 cash required. Call If you mean business."In the January 23, 1925, issue of the Queens Borough Daily Star, the Vernon and New Idle Hour Theatres shared an ad, and were running the same program. The locations given were Court House Square (the Idle Hour) and a partly unreadable number in the 100 block of Fourth Street.
It's now Cafe Henri. https://www.yelp.com/biz/café-henri-long-island-city-2

All the same features found in the "Golden Shells" are right here is the plastic set as well.
"The advantage of the cast plastic is that it has the same weight, feel and handling as my final best model made from a real shell. I find that these plastic shells handle like a dream--and yet they are not susceptible to cracking, or the putty crumbling from changes in heat, humidity, or air pressure. I no longer have to worry about what air travel or a change in humidity in a new city might do to my shells. They carry easily with a couple of peas in my jacket pocket, and can work on any surface--even a cocktail bar--without a mat. They look and feel and handle like real shells. They even sound like real shells when they are placed on the wood surface of a bar, or on a marble coffee-table." --Whit Haydn
