It was almost like a school detention - 30 minutes extra time when everyone was tired, fed up (because of the cold) and ready to go home.
I'm talking about Leicester City's FA Youth Cup third round home defeat in a penalty shootout against Huddersfield.
Never was there greater evidence for ending the farce of extra time.
The penalty shootout should follow as soon as the 90 minutes ends in a draw - and as quickly as possible.
Last night's extra time was like watching two batteries run down to flat. They hadn't got a spark in em by the end, in fact they were flat 10 minutes BEFORE time.
That was when the Walkers pitch was strewn randomly with casualties, not from flying boots and reckless challenges, but stricken by that tortuous enemy, cramp.
Whether this was caused by the stoppages at the end of 90 minutes or at half-time in extra time, I don't know.
But certainly, when a player went down injured 10 minutes from final time the teams were so tired and reluctant to restart that the break lasted five full minutes.
There were no goals in extra time (how often is that the case?) and the drama of the penalty shootout again took an extraordinary amount of time to unfold.
Fans of course were left shivering in the bitter cold thoughout all of these stoppages.
And why? For a shootout that could more sensibly and just as dramatically been held after 90 minutes and avoided the risk of unnecessary injury to these young players and of prolonged suffering for those frozen fans.

Having problems with your Samsung S850 Digital Camera ?
Remove date/stamp from pictures already taken
\015 I have a Samsung S850 digital camera. My photos contain the date/time stamp. Am I able to remove the stamp from photos already taken?\015
Answers :
Once the stamp is on the picture it's just like any other element of the picture. You can try to remove it using a photo editing program, the same way you might remove a telephone pole growing out of someone's head, for example. There is no magic feature that will automatically recognize the pixels making up the stamp and recover what was there originally when the picture was taken.

I used the Links sidebar widget and added it to my sidebar but am not seeing it on my blog. I added a couple of personal links to it as well but to no avail.
The theme is Benevolence 1.0 and since the dashboard shows options for widgets, I'm assuming it is widget friendly. And yes, it is a brand new blog.
Also, there appears a huge gap between the end of the post and the comment tag in the most recent post. Is there any way I can reduce this gap and make the comment link come closer to the end of the post?

In 1981, when Dai Qing was a novice Communist spy and the United States was a potential enemy, her bosses once asked her to try to engage an American reporter as a source for the Chinese Government and to draw up a memo on her subject. She obeyed.
But now a decade later, she is a reporter and no longer an obedient servant: she has resigned from the Chinese Communist Party. And in a strange twist, the American Government turned out to be a friend and helped her obtain permission to go abroad from unwilling Chinese officials.
Dai Qing, a short, fiery and articulate 50-year-old woman better known by her pen name than her real one, Fu Xiaoqing, attracted international attention last month when the Chinese authorities detained her as she was about to meet an American official during the visit to Beijing by Secretary of States James A. Baker 3d.
She was released after four days, and apparently because of pressure from Mr. Baker and others -- to whom she says she is deeply grateful -- Ms. Dai was given a passport last week and allowed to go to America. 10 Months in Prison
Previously, she was not allowed to leave China to take up a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University, and in 1989 she was detained for 10 months in Qincheng Prison for her role in the Tiananmen democracy movement. While Ms. Dai was in prison her hair turned white, and she found herself begging for scraps of paper to write on and scribbling her feelings between the lines and on the margins of newspapers she was allowed to read.Continue reading the main story
Now Ms. Dai is wrapping up her plans to sue the officials who she says defamed her and unjustifiably detained her during the Baker visit.
It is an unusually bold suit by an intellectual with a sometimes cooperative but often tenuous relationship with the Government, and it is the first time that a Chinese has dared to publicly take on the system for measures taken as a result of the military crackdown in Beijing on June 4, 1989.
"I am using myself as a test case for the law," Ms. Dai, her hair dyed black, said in a recent interview before she left Beijing for Harvard. "If you are a citizen of this country, you must cooperate with it. You can do only what is permitted, but in doing whatever it is, you must use common sense in determining when you can nudge China forward a bit."
Ms. Dai comes from one of China's most powerful families and is distantly related to the family of the last Emperor, Pu Yi. Her father died when she was 4, but soon after that she was adopted by Marshal Ye Jianying, one of the handful of people at the top of the political system before he died in 1986. Her godmother is Deng Yingchao, the widow of the late Prime Minister Zhou Enlai.
But Ms. Dai got into trouble nonetheless and she says she is hesitant to call on her friends for help.
Partly because of her background, Ms. Dai has aroused controversy in China and among dissidents outside the country. Some intellectuals are suspicious of her, some are envious, some are admiring.
"Dai Qing represents a threat to many people," said Geremie Barme, a scholar at Australia National University who is in Beijing doing research on Ms. Dai's works. "In the sense that by acting as a moderate and yet being outspoken, she shows up the contradictions in both extremist positions, that of the Government and that of opponents to the Government."
Born in the Sichuan city of Chongqing, Ms. Dai was educated in schools all over China until she ended up at an engineering institute where she learned to design guidance systems for intercontinental missiles.
During the Cultural Revolution, Ms. Dai passed part of the time as a Red Guard and was sent to the countryside to dig in the fields. When she came back her friends and family urged her to join the military, considered a prestigious career path.
So she became a regiment staff officer, where she began training as a spy for the People's Liberation Army. The work, she says, was very basic, involving tasks like writing reports and memos on various foreigners.
"I don't think spies are bad people," Ms. Dai said. "But I absolutely didn't like doing that work. The special thing about being a spy is that you have to cheat people into believing you and this was too much against my nature."
In 1982 she moved to the official Guangming Daily, where she interviewed many scholars. Later she began writing revisionist history, exploring the dark chapters of the party's background.
"Many people spoke from their hearts and I discovered that what I had learned and what I had read were so different from the real history," Ms. Dai said. "I had to expose the truth."
It is the Guangming Daily against which she is mounting her counterattack. The newspaper published a scathing condemnation of her in 1989, when she was in Qincheng Prison.
Now she is suing the author of that attack, and her suit also becomes an attack against the Communist officials at the newspaper and the Government's Propaganda Department, which very likely approved of the article. She also plans to sue her newspaper, which had a hand in her detention during Mr. Baker's visit.
Her action follows a move by another writer, Wang Meng, a literary giant and former Culture Minister who has sued a newspaper for criticizing him in September.
Her husband and daughter have suffered slightly from Ms. Dai's actions, but she does not believe they will suffer anymore while she is away. Her 23-year-old daughter was denied entrance to a graduate program in history at Beijing University because she was believed to be too supportive of her mother's views.
"There has been some impact on me, but it's been intangible," said Mr. Wang, her husband, who runs a company under the Guangming Daily newspaper. "I get a lot of sidelong glances."Continue reading the main story

Safety Plans
Need a professional safety management plan?
When you're drawing up a safety management plan, there's so much to consider – and if you get it wrong, you can find yourself in really hot water. But the trouble with drafting it from scratch is it can be:
- Time Consuming
- Expensive
- Legally Challenging
Think about it – you've not only got to hire the professional expertise to write it up, but you need the legal knowledge to check it over and make sure your back is covered. Workplace Health and Safety is a big issue, and if your site safety management plan doesn't comply with all the latest official WH&S regulations, you're putting your business at risk…
But, going over a freshly written safety management plan with a fine-tooth comb can cause some real headache – which is why SafetyCulture developed a set of instantly downloadable documents, templates and tools for you to easily use and customize for your specific needs.
The SafetyCulture site safety management plan has been designed to suit both commercial and residential construction and has been written by the some of the best experts in the industry.
Why Use the SafetyCulture Site Safety Management Plan Template?
Unlike many other services you might find online, the documents we offer are not blank templates – they are professionally written, easily customisable safety management plan templates which can be tailored to your precise requirements using Microsoft Word.
If you buy a blank template, you're no better off than you were before – after all, a blank template will simply outline the topics you need to cover.
The documents supplied by ACRIS Services, who are licensed resllers of SafetyCulture documentation, provide not only the comprehensive sections needed to comply with official regulations, but all of the content to ensure the safety management plan you end up with is legally acceptable and fully usable.
How to Buy a Site Safety Management Plan
To get instant access to our site safety management plans, all you need to do is decide if you require a document that can be edited in Word and reused over and over again or a subscription that will give you access to to the document which is automatically updated as necessessary by SafetyCulture.
The subscription allows you to use the document on as many sites as you wish as well as giving you access to all the Safe Work Method Statements and company policies on this site. Any future updates are available to you at no extra charge.
What are you waiting for? You could spend thousands hiring the manpower to create a safety management plan from scratch… or you could download your very own pre-written template, customise it in minutes and be up and running at a fraction of the cost.
It's your choice.

Volunteers who saved a village shop have won backing from the local council and national organisations to help secure it a safer future.
At a meeting on Monday, Tealby residents heard how the village community shop faces a more secure future after its volunteers received grants and management support from West Lindsey District Council, the London-based CAN social enterprise agency and the Plunket Foundation, which also supports community enterprise in rural areas.
Bess Scott Gunn, chairman of the Tealby Village Shop Committee, says the shop was already a community shop, but it needed some help to survive.
Opened in 2004, the shop, run by a manager and volunteers, also operates an 'outreach' post office, and is a village tourist information centre and village hub.
"We were floundering somewhat. We have had professional advice, a grant. We were losing it. We desperately needed some help, both financially and professionally, every other way with regards to tax and everything," said Bess.
"These people have come along, thrown us a lifeline, given us a grant and new equipment. It's given us a huge lease of life and we are back up and running and in charge again."
"It's about giving advice and guidance," said Becky Murrell, community advisor for Plunket, who was optimistic about the future of the now renamed Tealby Village Community Shop.
"We have 300 community shops across the country. We are able to share that knowledge and expertise. The Tealby shop has a good team of volunteers. The community is very much behind it. They recently lost their local butcher. That's why community shops are so important.
"The success rate of them is far higher than commercial shops because they are owned by the community."

"My 4-year old laptop had been really slow in starting up, and I had to redo it in a safe mode a few times a day. After scanning it and finding no virus or malware, I determined it was largely due to the registry issue. I had Slow PC Fighter on this laptop, but it wasn't really helping my problem at all. So after doing some research, I purchased RegServe and used it today for the first time, and was more than amazed at the performance difference on my laptop. This product not only met my expectation but way surpassed it!! Now I can shut down and restart my laptop in much shorter time, and will enjoy taking and using it everywhere as I used to. Thank you for providing such excellent product. Thank you also for offering the bonus product. I will use it shortly..."
"After the first scan, my PC booted up and it operated faster! I like all the features of RegServe, especially the Registry Defragmenter. I will enthusiastically recommend RegServe to my friends and co-workers. Thanks for developing such a great program!" Sincerely, Jeff Swanson
"So far I am very pleased with the product, RegServe. No matter what you have on your computer, I feel that you need a good registry program to keep the registry happy and problem free. This is an area that I find most people neglect."
"I am VERY illiterate when it comes to computers. I checked with Consumer Reports and you guys were supposed to be one of the top 2 so I bought you! So I hope you help out!"
"Finally! A registry repair utility that does not damage or corrupt working programs! Every registry utility I tried, damaged my registry so my help and some video editing files no longer worked properly. RegServe repaired my registry errors, yet I retained full function of all my programs!"

Local Firm Tries to Block Wii in U.S.
By Zachary A. Goldfarb
A small local technology company, citing patent infringement, yesterday asked a U.S. trade panel to stop Japan-based video game giant Nintendo from importing its Wii system into the United States and filed suit in federal court for unspecified damages.
The Wii video game system, released in late 2006, became massively popular with a new kind of interface that lets a person swing a remote to play tennis and tilt a controller left and right to drive a car.
Hillcrest Labs, a seven-year-old Rockville company, claims it owns the patents to the technology underpinning the Wii.
Hillcrest's technology allows people to use a device to point at their television or computer screens to select movies they want to watch, browse the Web, control their cable box or otherwise interact with content -- not by pressing a button on a conventional controller but moving the controller left, right, up and down.
"While Hillcrest Labs has a great deal of respect for Nintendo and the Wii, Hillcrest Labs believes that Nintendo is in clear violation of its patents and has taken this action to protect its intellectual property rights," the company said in statement, adding it would not comment further.
A Nintendo spokesman declined to comment.
Even if Hillcrest's claims are valid, the likelihood that Nintendo will be forced to stop selling the Wii is small, said Samson Vermont, assistant professor of law at George Mason University and a patent expert.
"It could happen but the stakes would be so high that Nintendo wouldn't let it happen," Vermont said. "The reality of it is one of two things is going to happen: either there's no merit to [Hillcrest's] suit and they'll lose, or Nintendo will settle."
Patent lawsuits are fairly common, and the outcomes are mixed, experts said.
In 2005, Research in Motion Ltd., the Canadian maker of BlackBerry devices, paid $450 million to resolve a patent infringement case with NTP Inc. of Arlington. Just last month, Nintendo was dealt a setback when a U.S. court in East Texas ordered the video game maker to pay $23 million to resolve a patent infringement suit with another company. The court said Nintendo also had to stop selling several types of controllers. Nintendo has appealed.
The U.S. International Trade Commission, the panel with which Hillcrest filed its complaint, has the authority to block the import of products that infringe on U.S. patents. The suit was filed with the U.S. District Court in Maryland.
Hillcrest cites four patents dating back to 2004 or before describing functionality present in the Wii, such as the motion-sensing accelerometer in the remote control. The most recent of these patents was approved on Tuesday. Three of the patents relate to the design of the remote control and mention a number of possible uses, though not for video games. The fourth relates to the software that guides the on-screen interface and makes mention of several uses related to video games.
"You can describe multiple products in your patent application and the fact that you don't describe the exact same product, that's not the key," said Robert Sokohl, a patent attorney with Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, a District law firm.
Hillcrest has licensed its technology to Logitech and to Universal Electronics Inc. The company has attracted $50 million in venture capital, including $25 million in January 2008, from investors including New Enterprise Associates, Grotech Ventures, AllianceBernstein and others.

This is ridiculous. I've followed Hillcrest and know some people there--maybe if the company could actually ship a frickin' product, they'd have an actual business. They're burned through tens millions of dollars of VC money with nothing to show for it but vague promises of a product somewhere down the road. Wii beat them to market. Whose fault was that?
Posted by: Nuisance Suit | August 20, 2008 5:49 PM
The Wii has been on the market for nearly 2 years now in the US. My brother has had his for 1 1/2 years. Even if Hillcrest can block further imports, there are millions of models sitting in people's homes across the US.
Why did they wait so long to sue? Did they just hear about the Wii?
Their case sounds dubious and they are probably looking for a quick settlement for some easy cash. A very poor showing here.

Ruby Snap
Yesterday afternoon I left the office early and decided to try a new place for lunch and desert. I was driving north on 300 W and I recalled several times before passing a cookie place on the NW corner of 800 S. The tag line stood out to me "You know you want my cookies". Yes it is true, I'm a lover of cookies so it was inevitable that I was going to one day try Ruby Snap. Turns out that I'm really sorry I didn't try them earlier because these cookies are delicious! I rank them amongst the greatest in Utah. Here is why.
Ruby snap does not apply drab, generic names to their cookies like other bakeries. You will not find a "chocolate chip" or "peanut butter" or "sugar" cookie here. The owners decided to have a little fun with this, and it goes nicely with the theme and feel of the bakery. Each cookie has its own name with pin-up girl next to it. I decided to go with a cookie 4 pack stuffed with Lilly, Audrey, Zoey, and Vivianna. That's right. I spent the afternoon with 4 ladies, and boy were they good! I couldn't help but giggle a little inside when ordering "Geez, Lilly looks delicious, I think I would like to give her a try!" (Okay I could go all day with this, but I'll stop right there) 🙂
After ordering my four cookies, they were carefully placed in the above gift wrapped box. My first thought after ordering might be your first thought as well. A box of four cookies will run you $8.50 which at the time seemed a little high for me. Later I would realize that with how good these "cookies" are, they really are on par with other fine bakeries around downtown SLC. Now that I'm thinking about it, I almost wouldn't even classify them as cookies, but as little works of art. So trust me on this, the price you spend on a four pack will be well worth it. Also inside my box was a little business card that I could turn in at a later time for a free cookie. (as if I needed extra incentive to come back) So without further ado, here are the four cookies I tried with descriptions taken from the Ruby Snap menu:
Lilly – A lemon sugar cookie with lemonheads and lemon glaze. I tried this one first, and it may just be my favorite of the bunch. Putting lemonhead candies in the cookie was just brilliant. It wasn't overly packed with candy to make the cookie too tart, it was just right. I loved the way the candy melted into the cookie. The best way I could describe this one was a lemon bar made love to a sugar cookie, and this is their love child.
Zoey – Blueberry lemon poppy with a fresh squeezed lemon glaze. Wow! Again I almost regret eating this because I really am quite a fan of a good poppy-seed muffin. Not sure how I'm going to be able to stomach eating another muffin after spending a day nibbling on Zoey! (couldn't resist, this post is quickly turning PG-13 rated) The consistency of this treat was somewhere between a muffin and a cookie. It was at this point I started to thinking "Wow how did these people come up with these great ideas and flavor combinations" I decided there could be no break in between ladies, no going back, I had to have all four of them then and there.
Audrey – Almond dough packed full of almonds, cranberries and white chocolate. Okay Audrey made me forget all about Zoey and Lilly. This lady was special. I've never been a big fan of cranberries, but the way they tasted alongside pockets of white chocolate and almonds, this beauty was awesome! It was at this point that I decided to stop driving and pull into the nearest gas station. I had some Diet Mountain Dew in my mug, and decided I had to have some milk while sampling these goddesses. When you get a chance to have a snack with high class ladies like these ones, you don't give them soda to drink, you give them a milk bath.
Vivianna – Mangoes and dark chocolate in a citrus dough. I know right? A mango? My wife is always telling me I need to eat more fruit. I'd be happy to oblige with a Vivianna or two in the morning. AWESOME cookie. The gal at the counter actually said this one was one of their most popular, and if there is an important lesson that I have learned when it comes to ordering from a bakery, it is that when a gal at the counter says an item is their most popular, doesn't matter what flavor it is, you have to try it!
So those were the four cookies I tried. So many dough and flavor and mix-ins, each one brilliantly crafted. In keeping with the theme of the bakery I would have to say this was the cat's meow or the bees knees. I loved Ruby Snap. And I didn't even get to try Trudy, Judy, Ricki, Margo, Frida, Nina, Betty, Virginia, Penelope, Maris, or Suzie!!!! Looks like I'll have to start planning my next day off for an afternoon hook-up. (okay I promise that was the last one) Give Ruby Snap a try. You know you want her cookies!!!

John Paul's deliverance from the hardship of the lower deck was a brass instrument called an octant.
Advances in the development of these instruments made such calculations easier and more precise, for example: the "course protractor", the "cuadrant", the "octant and the sextant", and the "longitude clock", which was a precision chronometer.
From a private collection, offerings include several important pairs of globes by Newton, a sextant by Ramsden, an octant by George Jones, equinoctial dials, astrolabes, chronometers, microscopes and nautical antiques.
It was in its octant, and showed a crescent finely traced on the dark background of the sky.
Curved an eighth of circle, hence "octant", fixed with small mirrors and etched by degrees, an octant can tell a mariner the angle of the sun to the horizon at high noon.
Wesley found a packet of small iron tools, an octant and a massive spiked club.
Charred remains of the boat, a burned octant, and a few unexploded cartridges were all that remained of the meager outfit upon which they depended to take them to the mouth of the river, a distance of over 250 miles.
Used the octant on some sunshots; used the drift meter on the whitecaps; picked up wind changes; made heading corrections; came in "on target" with less than ½ hour fuel remaining.
It is the sextant or some member of the sextant family -- such as the quadrant, octant, etc.
Ismailoff gave Cook letters for the Governor of Kamtschatka and the Commandant of Petropaulowsk; and Cook, finding "he was tolerably well versed in astronomy," gave him a Hadley's octant, and though it was the first one he had seen, he soon made himself acquainted with its uses.

"Expressed in words" is used by the WAI and WCAG WG for specific reasons -- they feel that it meets specific needs of specific audiences. Presumably, even though you disagree with the dictate of "expressed in words," you understand that they're not just issuing it arbitrarily. What alternate "central theme" would you suggest that meets the needs expressed by WCAG WG via "ability to be expressed in words" but which is more suitable in the face of your objections? This is not asking for a simple rewording -- you claim there's a conceptual problem. WCAG WG would not be willing to give up on their core concept unless they are assured that the needs which led to "expressed in words" are still met, and not simply discarded. Therefore, I'd like to hear from you, Joe, what replacement concept you have to offer. You are arguing that WCAG WG must change to another concept than the current one -- but you have given no hint of what may involve. The current concept meets needs. A replacement must either meet those same needs, or somehow prove that those needs don't really exist after all. That, I think, is why you are meeting resistance to your ideas, Joe -- apart from your abrasive method of communication. --Kynn PS: Joe may simply ignore this email and its question, as he has indicated to me that he will discard any email I write which appears to be critical of his communication style.

Daytona 500: What To Expect From Sunday's Great American RaceFebruary 20, 2011
The NASCAR offseason is officially over. The Daytona 500 is upon us, and with it, ride the hopes of 43 drivers all hoping to have their name etched on the Harley J. Earl trophy. Last year, Jamie McMurray started off what would be a memorable season for himself when he won the 500 in a thrilling green-white-checkered finish.
So, what does this year's running of the Great American Race have in store? First and foremost, the most obvious thing will be the style of racing. The Bud Shootout, the Duels and Saturday's Nationwide Series race featured predominant runs of two-car packs. Don't expect that to change by Sunday.
It has been made apparent that running two-by-two is by far the fastest way around the newly paved super speedway. A few drivers have really shined in this environment.
Duel winners Kurt Busch and Jeff Burton have to be considered two of the heavy favorites. Busch has been the man to beat thus far this week. He started off by winning the Bud Shootout Saturday night and followed it up by winning Duel No. 1 on Thursday.
Busch also has found good luck in the misfortune of others. His Duel win coupled with pole winner, Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s practice crash, has given him the opportunity to be the driver that leads the field to the green flag on Sunday.
Burton has had just as strong a showing. He finished eighth in the Shootout but was the dominant car for the first two thirds of the race and led a race-high 32 laps out of 75.
Making up for not winning the Shootout, Burton bounced back by winning Duel No. 2 on Thursday, by a bumper over teammate Clint Bowyer. Burton has also paced the field in two of the practice sessions throughout the week.
Mark Martin has also shown flashes of strength. While none of his race finishes this week have made anyone take notice, he finished 17th in the Shootout after crashing, then finished eighth in his Duel, he has been fast in practices.
Martin won each of the first two practices of the week and also paced the field in one of Friday's practices. In his final season driving for Hendrick Motorsports, Martin is seeking his first win in the Daytona 500.
The other big story is the Cinderella story of Brian Keselowski. Driving seriously underfunded equipment, with a big assist from his brother Brad, Brian has qualified for his first career Sprint Cup Series race.
The Keselowski brothers linked up with less than 20 laps to go in Duel No. 2 and younger brother Brad, latched right on to the back bumper of his older brother and pushed him to a fifth place finish and a spot in Sunday's race.
While expectations for the 500 remain low for Keselowski, the story in itself is still one that seemingly even Hollywood couldn't come up with, and tell with such vigor.
So, what will be the biggest story that comes out of this years Daytona 500? It could be a surprise winner, or it could be the two-by-two racing. If the big one happens, that is certainly a story, and the whole Brian Keselowski buzz continues to grow.
All of these storylines only strengthen the excitement for the Daytona 500. And, for all we know, the biggest story of the weekend hasn't even been started yet. But the best way to figure it all out is to just drop the green flag and go racing. And that's what we'll do Sunday afternoon.

Keep it Cozy: Lake Tahoe CabinsHotels — By christinanellemann on March 18, 2011 at 7:45 am
On vacation, some people want to avoid the standard hotels and motels and want to cuddle up with the one they love next to a crackling fireplace. With the Tahoe area still covered in several feet of snow (and more on the way) there are plenty of cozy cabins to hole up in at the lake. Here are a few on all four sides of Lake Tahoe.
Perfect for a honeymoon or a family vacation, the Cedar Glen lodge and the small cabins on the property are tucked under the pines and are close to the lake.
Perfect for the traveler who loves the backcountry. The Lost Trail Lodge cabins are in some of the best skiing and snowshoeing parts of Truckee. Here you can really get away from the crowds.
Cottage Inn at Lake Tahoe
Sleep under the pine trees in a knotty pine cottage with all the amenities. The Cottage Inn has a full breakfast in the morning, fireplaces and homemade cookies.
The cozy and warm cabins in this area near the Heavenly ski resort have Tahoe names like the Bear's Den, the Pioneer and the Washoe Hut. They are pet-friendly and conveniently located near the shopping and dining of South Lake Tahoe.
Sorenson's Resort
A dream come true for small cabin lovers. Sorenson's Resort is not right on the lake, but down on Hwy. 88 near Hope Valley. This is a great location for peace and quiet and some cross country skiing or snowshoeing.
Zephyr Cove Resort Cabins
These little log cabins are right on the beach and you can watch the M.S. Dixie II paddlewheel boat from the comfort of your own little deck.

Take the time off from your busy lifestyle and feel the breeze! Appreciate nature at its finest and take long walks or take a splash in the lake and make every moment memorable.

I've been riding an 04 Enduro Expert for the last 2 seasons. Love it. However, I originally lusted for an 04 S-Works Enduro but couldn't buy one at the time because it was well beyond my price range. There have been quite a few of these frames popping up these day in MTB classifieds and ebay. I'm considering on upgrading and selling my Expert frame.
Questions for those who've ridden a 04 Enduro and the 04 S-Works Enduro.
1. Is there any noticable performance advantage between the Enduro Brain w/ Trail Tune over a Fox Float with Pro Pedal?
2. I've heard that the S-Works can feel "constipated" in reacting to sharp bumps especially if you hit one on a smooth trail. True?
Any other information is greatly appreciated. Thanks

The Camp US tax reform proposal: what's inside? - .PDF file.
By Evan Migdail, Linda Pfatteicher and Bruce Thompson
House Ways and Means Committee chairman Dave Camp (representing Michigan) this week introduced a draft of the most comprehensive reform of the Internal Revenue Code in decades.
The key principles in the draft are: (1) a deep reduction in individual and corporate tax rates; (2) elimination of numerous tax expenditures in exchange for the lower rates (the draft, for example, would eliminate all of the business credits that expired at the end of 2013 except for the credit for research, which would become permanent as described below); (3) establishment of a new competitive international tax system based on a dividend-exemption system and the expansion of subpart F for certain foreign income; and (4) simplification reforms both in the substantive tax area and in tax administration…

IPFW Student Invited to United Nations
Key Info
- Nicole Meier, IPFW women's studies major, was invited to take part in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meetings
- Feb. 25–March 3, 2012, at UN headquarters in New York City
- Meier was one of 20 students chosen nationally to take part in the practicum on advocacy
One of 20 students chosen nationally to attend the Commission on the Status of Women
FORT WAYNE, Ind.—Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) student Nicole Meier has been selected as one of 20 students from across the United States to take part in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meetings in spring 2012.
The UN's Commission on the Status of Women is dedicated exclusively to gender equality and the advancement of women. Representatives from member states gather to identify problems and issues affecting women internationally. CSW meetings are typically attended by thousands of women affiliated with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from around the world. Alongside the official discussions and reports, these NGOs sponsor hundreds of "side events" such as panels, workshops, and performances addressing local and international issues affecting women.
"I applied to the United Nations Practicum on Advocacy because this conference posed itself as an excellent opportunity for me to work with women already in the field and learn from their research and experiences," said Meier. "I believe this experience in acting as a delegate for the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom at the Commission on the Status of Women at the UN headquarters will facilitate both my research and academic career."
As a women's studies major at IPFW, Meier plans to pursue an academic career focusing on international policy-making and development. Meier is currently doing research on local women's involvement in development and parliament in post-genocide Rwanda, as well as conducting personal research on women's access to reproductive healthcare and resources on college campuses.
"Nicki represents the very best of women's studies: she's passionate about her studies, diligent in her research, and committed to making a difference in the world on behalf of women," said Janet Badia, associate professor and director of women's studies at IPFW. "She's especially excited about the possibilities of intersectional and transnational feminism for advancing human rights, so I think she's the perfect fit for this particular practicum. I couldn't be more proud of her success in getting admitted into such a competitive program."
The Practicum in Advocacy at the UN Commission on the Status of Women will take place in New York from Feb. 25 through March 3, 2012, and is sponsored by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) and the Center for Women's Health and Human Rights at Suffolk University (CWHHR).
The 2012 priority theme of the Commission is "The empowerment of rural women and their role in poverty and hunger eradication, development, and current challenges." Students participate as delegates of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and contribute to the official documentation of both official and informal meetings. This program is open to women enrolled at any college or university in the United States, and provides opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and career opportunities in international relations and advocacy work.
For more information, contact Janet Badia at 260-481-6895 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Not sure why the Arizona series is listed in the unbalanced section. UofA is in Tucson and the game is in Phoenix. If Notre Dame played Illinois in Chicago it would be a neutral atmosphere, the game in Phoenix will be a neutral atmosphere and environment, hence the series is not unbalanced.

UCLA is BYU's ninth balanced series with Power 5 school since 2010
- Updated: June 6, 2014
Greg Welch examines all of BYU's announced series since going independent, including those with Power 5 schools.
With yesterday's announcement of the 2015-16 home-and-home series with UCLA, BYU has now scheduled balanced football series with nine teams from Power 5 conferences since 2010.
In addition, BYU has scheduled 15 balanced series with team from other FBS conferences, predominately from the American and Mountain West conferences.
BYU has scheduled some unbalanced games, with five series against major teams and 5 single games against Power 5 teams. To help even this out, BYU has scheduled six games against Idaho and FCS opponents.
UCLA is the ninth Pac-12 team to schedule BYU since 2010. Seven are playing home-and-home, Arizona is scheduled for a home-home-neutral, and USC is playing two-for-one with two games in November. Of Pac-12 teams, only Washington (which BYU played in 2008 and 2010 and canceled two other scheduled game), Oregon and Colorado have not scheduled BYU since 2010.
For 2015, BYU now has only five home games and seven road games. One possibility is that Southern Miss, who already pushed back its scheduled 2014 visit to Provo, would move the 2015 game in Hattiesburg back as well.
All known future games can be seen here. Below is a summary of football scheduling BYU has done since 2010.
Balanced (Power 5):
Arizona State
Home-and-home for 2020-21
Home-and-home for 2014, 2017. Road game in November.
Georgia Tech
Signed a two-for-two, but was shortened by Georgia Tech to a single home-and-home series played in 2012-13.
Oregon State
Home-and-home played in 2011-12. This was scheduled in March of 2010, just before BYU went independent.
Two-for-two, with road games in late November for 2020-2025.
Home-and-home for 2015-16.
Home-and-homes for 2011-12, 2013 and 2016, 2017-18
Two separate home-and-home deals, one played in 2013-14 and one in 2019-20.
Washington State
Home-and-home, originally for 2012-13, but the return game to Pullman was moved back at Mike Leach's request. Currently scheduled for 2019.
Unbalanced Series:
Home-home-neutral. BYU probably doesn't mind playing an extra game in Phoenix. It's a good recruiting area for BYU and it will probably be a fairly neutral fan environment.
Notre Dame
Originally scheduled as a four-for-two (or two two-for-ones, if you like) before 2020, it appears there will be some delay in returning games. Notre Dame could travel to Provo in 2018 or more likely 2021.
Southern California
Two road games for one home game (two-for-one). Road games in November
Single road game (2011) and then a separate home-and-home series (2013-14).
Single Games:
Single road game (2015), but rumors persist that there may be additional games to come.
Single road game (2015).
Ole Miss
Road game in 2011 (signed on short notice to help ESPN shuffle Boise State to a game against Georgia).
Single neutral game in Dallas in 2011 (signed on short notice for an ESPN special).
West Virginia
Neutral game at Fed Ex Field (Landover, Maryland) in 2016.
Unbalanced Home:
Single home games purchased from Idaho (2012), and played as part of the WAC deal
Games bought from Idaho State (2011 and 2013), Weber State (2012), and Savannah State (2014)
Balanced (Group of 5):
Boise State
12-year series, home-and-home.
Central Florida
Home-and-home (2011, 2014).
Home-and-home (2015-16).
Home-and-home (2014-2015).
East Carolina
Home-and-home (2015, 2017).
Fresno State
Home-and-home (2015, 2017). Both games in November.
Signed a long-term home-and-home contract (10 years) that amended a two-year deal in place when BYU went independent. BYU played two years and after Norm Chow was hired, games were canceled. A home-and-home series is scheduled for 2017-18.
Home-and-home (2013-14).
Middle Tennessee
Home-and-home (2013-14)
New Mexico State
Home-and-home as part of WAC deal for first two years of independence. (2011-12).
Two-for-one was scheduled, games in 2013-14, then Nevada canceled a third game in Provo it appears as part of the UCLA series.
San Jose State
Two home-and-home deals. One as part of the WAC transition deal (2011-12), one for 2015, 2017.
Southern Miss
Home-and-home in 2015, 2017. The 2017 game was originally scheduled for 2013. With the UCLA news, it's possible the 2015 game could move back as well.
Home-and-home (2014-15)
Utah State
After playing unbalanced schedules for some time, BYU and Utah State have scheduled a two for two series (2013-2016). Road games are in October and home games are in November. Playing at home in November was valuable for BYU, as well as freeing up the home slot in early October. In addition to those, the BYU-Utah State basketball series moved to a home-home-neutral format.
Louisiana Tech
A home and home was part of the 2011-12 WAC games, but it was canceled to make room for the 2011 TCU game at Cowboys Stadium. A couple years ago, a source from Louisiana Tech told us the Bulldogs were still interested in rescheduling, but it probably would not happen for some time, especially because of LT changing conferences.
It seems that part of the deal in traveling to play Oklahoma in 2009 was to also play a road game at Tulane. BYU didn't seem to mind the overall package deal of the OU game and the extra ESPN2 appearance back in The Mtn era. It was reported that a return game would be played, but at this point it seems less and less likely.

Is Pagan The Answer For Mets In Lew Of Alou?April 30, 2008
It can be argued that much like their cross town rivals, the New York Mets have been greatly underachieving. At 14-11 the Mets stand half a game behind the surprise Florida Marlins. With the addition of the game's best pitcher in Johan Santana and another year of maturation for David Wright and Jose Reyes, many envisioned the Mets running away with the division out of the gate and not looking back.
However, since the Mets broke camp there have been some unexpected twists and turns to the young season; some for the good and some not so much. The first blow the Mets suffered was on the second day of the season when #2 man in the incredibly strong rotation Pedro Martinez went down with a hamstring injury. However, the next day Oliver Perez went out and delivered 7 strong innings against the Marlins.

Now boarding for a ride through history...
WWII Reenactment Days -- May 18th & 19th, 2013
The Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, is honoring World War II veterans during its annual Anzio Express and North Platte Canteen event on May 18-19, 2013. The event will highlight how trains played a critical role during the war and contributed to the final Allied victory.
The event features more than 150 Allied, Axis and civilian WWII re-enactors who will set up period campsite displays and hold pitched public battles for control of a critical rail yard. Some scenarios include the public in the middle of the action, as a German commandeered train is overrun by the advancing American troops.
A re-creation of the famous volunteer canteen in North Platte, Neb., that gave comfort and food to tens of thousands of U.S, troops will be re-created. The public can ride the train and interact with scores of American soldiers on their cross-country trip as they stop at canteen.
The museum will assist in brining the 1940s back to life with its operational railway rolling stock, including restored passenger cars and streetcars from the period.
The event takes place on the grounds of the Illinois Railway Museum and includes use of its working trains, trolleys and streetcars.

It all ends here. Well, the regular season, anyway. The Week 12 schedule is packed with meaningful games as teams battle for conference titles and playoff positioning, and you'll have the chance to pick them.
Last week, the average scores bounced back significantly. More than a third of the pickers had perfect scores. By the percentages, there were no upsets. That's a solid week, but let's hope the final week provides more drama. Is a shakeup in the standings coming?
Heading into Week 12, Tim Hower is the new overall leader at 74. He got all eight correct to take one-game lead on me and SportsGuy89. The Natural and ECU0325 are both at 71. As detailed in the rules, we will be tossing out everybody's lowest score to decide the winner. (The first tie-breaker will be most perfect weeks, followed by highest low score.) We'll wipe the slate clean and start from scratch next week in the playoffs.
Here's what the Top 10 would look like if the regular season ended today:
1. SportsGuy89, 70 (drops Week 2)
2. Tim Hower, 69 (drops Week 10)
2. Eric Detweiler, 69 (drops Week 10)
4. The Natural, 67 (drops Week 2)
4. Dan Spears, 67 (drops Week 2)
6. Hotterhand, 65 (drops Week 1)
7. McLeod Brown, 64 (drops Week 2)
7. Vince Nairn, 64 (drops Week 2)
9. Payton88, 62 (drops Week 1)
10. Pat Neelon, 61 (drops Week 10)
Reminder: You can join the competition at any time. Before you pick, you can find a
more detailed look at the top matchups here and then vote for the best one. Good luck.

and the winner gets?
We'll have four movie passes for the winner to the Regal Cinemas at Mayfaire.
