X-File: A Guide to the Summer X Games
After two years in San Diego, the world's largest "alternative" sports competition is moving north to San Francisco for more biking, blading and boarding under the California sun. From June 25 to July 3, more than 400 athletes are scheduled to compete in nine gravity-defying sports on land, at sea, and in the air.
Introduced to the world by ESPN in 1995, the Summer X Games is celebrating its fifth birthday this summer. And thanks to ESPN/ESPN2 and ABC, television viewers will see almost 30 hours of coverage of the nine-day sports festival.
More than 250,000 spectators, most of them in their teens, attended last summer's games — a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by corporate America. Sponsorship opportunities have attracted the likes of Adidas, Mountain Dew, and Taco Bell, pushing awards and prize money at stake in San Francisco to nearly $1 million dollars.
The Games' three most hotly contested sports, in-line skating, bicycle stunt riding and skateboarding, all consist of both a women's and men's division, competing separately in Street events that test agility and Vert (short for vertical) events that rate creativity. Street events take place on flat land and require that the athletes negotiate through an urban obstical course made up of iron railings, ramps, and cement walls. The Vert events take place in the more traditional halfpipe, on which each up and down run ends with a gravity-defying acrobatic maneuver off the edge of the pipe's mouth.
Here's a closer look at some of the more unique events:
Agressive In-line Skating
In the Vert Triples event, teams of three, men and/or women, compete together in the halfpipe, scoring points for tricks during a timed routine. This isn't the in-line skating your parents try in vain to do. In the halfpipe, skaters reach menacing speeds and can get up to eight feet over the lip of the ramp on some tricks. Teams must combine athleticism, creativity and some choreography to impress judges and tally high scores for their efforts.
Bicycle Stunt Riding
In the Dirt Jumping event, bikers try to wow the crowd and judges with high-flying tricks after launching off a dirt ramp. Also, a crowd favorite is the Flatland event where bikers perform difficult tricks of balance and strength as they slowly roll along flat land during a timed routine. Riders climb all over the frame of their bikes like they were jungle gyms and hop on their back tires like pogo sticks, all to impress the judges and raise the bar for bike tricksters across the country.
Freestyle Moto-X
A demo sport at the 1998 games, Freestyle Moto-X is basically bike tricks done on a dirt bike, the more athletic-looking cousin of the motorcycle. Dirt ramps will be the launching pad for riders who will look to impress judges with aerial moves that blur the rules of gravity.
The Best Vert Trick is a new event this year and it incorporates the Internet into this already new technology-friendly competition. Online voters from around the world will decide the best trick performed on a skateboard in the competition by registering their vote at http://www.espn.go.com/extreme/Xgames. In the Vert Doubles event, teams of two skateboarders will perform tricks in a halfpipe. Judges at the event - not those online – will crown the winner of the event.
This event is a combination of skydiving and surfing. An athlete uses a "skyboard" similar to the snowboards you see on the ski slopes in the winter to spin, slide, twist and surf through the air while free-falling from an airplane 10,000 feet up in the air. Meanwhile, his or her "cameraflyer" aids the routine and catches all the action on a helmet-mounted camera. The team's entire freefall routine lasts around 50 seconds and is done while moving vertically at about 110-120 mph and horizontally at up to 50 mph.
In the summer? Yep. The popularity of this sport is just too big to relegate it to just a Winter X Games event. In the Big Air event, boarders are scored on the difficulty, execution and height/length of their jumps off an 11-story high man-made ski jump. Nicknamed "The Margarita" and "Big Snowcone," the jump is made up of 520 tons of shaved ice which is the preferred surface of experienced athletes.
Sport Climbing
Another new addition in 1999 is the Bouldering event. This is hardcore rock climbing where speed and strength determine the winner. Climbers have to pull themselves up an artificial rock wall without any ropes or harnesses as support. Large gymnastic-style mats are set at the base of the wall to protect climbers when they fall.
Climbers can use any route they would like up the wall in the allotted time, and bonus points are given for a climber reaching the top on the first try. The other climbing event Speed Climbing will be back for a fifth year. And this year's course will be the same as last year, meaning records might be broken.
Street Luge
In the Dual Street Luge event, "pilots" lie on sleds with wheels (and no brakes) and wind down steep asphalt roads lined with hay bales at speeds of up to 60 mph in a head-to-head race format. The sport is a warmer version of the Olympic luge event which is run on icy bobsled courses. As a result the strategy is similar.
Pilots dressed in skin-tight bodysuits use shifts of their body weight to steer the eight-foot long aluminum sled which is usually less than an ear's length off the speeding blacktop. In the Super Mass event, racers compete in groups of six on the course.
This event combines surfing and water skiing. Competitors are rope-towed by a motorboat and use a small surfboard with foot bindings to ride the water behind a boat and use its wake to launch into quick spinning and flipping tricks. Judges award points for tricks completed during a run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our birds need to be rewarded for guiding us into the thermals. During the flight the passenger will place small morsels of meat onto his gloved hand, the birds will come and gently land on the hand to take the food, and then gracefully fly away to find the next thermal. A perfect symbiotic relationship.
1. As we approach Spring, the wild Egyptian Vultures and other birds of prey in our flying area start to breed. They can become very territorial so out of respect for the wild birds, we choose to not fly our birds and not disturb them at this time.
2. Typically all birds start to moult in May, ie begin the process of replacing their feathers. This process can take up to 6 months. It's important that to complete a successful moult with good strong healthy feathers, we feed them a higher than normal nutritious diet. You may not notice but our birds are always in perfect feather condition throughout the entire year, this is why.
3. The weather starts to change in May, the regular afternoon pre monsoon storms means we can't fly as often as we would need to maintain the birds fitness. We would not want to force our birds to fly if they are not fit enough so it's best to just stop completely.
4. By the end of September, the birds have finished moulting, the rainy season is almost over and the wild birds are no longer breeding. We can then begin the training process to get our bird fit and ready for the flying season. We normally start slowly, building the birds fitness and stamina, this can take 3-4 weeks before we feel they are ready to fly with the Paragliders for a 20-30 min flight.
Vultures are important in our society, they play a vital role in our ecosystem by cleaning up all of the dead animals that would otherwise be left to rot. Millions of tonnes of animal carcasses are disposed of each year across Asia, which if not cleaned up, would pose a real risk to human health. Asia's vultures are declining faster than the Dodo and could be extinct in the next 5-10 years, unfortunately not enough people know about the problem. Vultures are considered to be quite unsavory creatures because of this, these prehistoric looking birds are difficult to empathize with. We want to change that!
Parahawking provides a unique opportunity to see vultures in a different light, to understand about the importance of them in our society and to learn about their behavior in the wild. Parahawking is our mission to raise more public awareness to the plight of Asia's vultures and in doing so halt the decline and prevent their extinction.
We support vital Vulture conservation projects in Nepal, We donate approx 1000 rupees from every Parahawking flight to Vulture conservations projects. We have recently been appointed Patrons of the Ghochowk Vulture Restaurant project.

By John PetersenAmerican Red Cross
The American Red Cross would like to thank the people of Utah for supporting our many blood drives during the summer of 2010. Without the help of dedicated sponsors and donors across Utah, the American Red Cross would not be able to maintain an adequate blood supply. Because of your generous donations, we were able to achieve our collection goals for June, July and August. These are definitely our toughest months of the year to collect blood.
This goal could not have been possible without the help of many loyal blood donors. We'd like to extend our thanks to all the local radio stations for running our public service announcements. We would also like to thank the many corporate sponsors for donating food and refreshments for our donors. And a very special thank you to the donors who took time to give blood this summer.
Thank you again for supporting Red Cross Blood Services. Because of donors and supporters like you, we successfully met our collection goals and more importantly made sure there would be blood available to patients in need. We could not do this without the tremendous support from our community.

Sounds like a good move. Rift is a solid, polished game with some great developers. Their new expac was prob one of the best upgrades to an mmo I can remember. Very happy ArcheAge will see the light of day over here.

perhaps those 30 levels incl a full continent of quest eh.. remember that AA is as mutch a Themepark as its a Sandboxy game. (its neither but by lack of of hybrith name ..both) and players like you who know everyting after a hour can always skip stuff and go their own way...tho miss out of the freebee gear you get during the "tutorial"

yep didnt like RIFT either, but TRION seems professional, do think this is a good choice from XLgames - will see in future ofc :P
That's awesome. I only played Rift during beta, and about a week after release, wasn't too impressed with the game.
However, I was impressed by the execution, polish, and stability of the product during stress tests and upon release. I am confident Trion will be able to deliver. ArcheAge is a game I've been looking forward to since I first saw it on this site and this brings me hope that it will be what I've been looking for.
Congratulations on a wise move. I think Trion is an outstanding choice for publisher.

But what were targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened.

I agree 100% and this is the one thing that really, and I mean REALLY turns me off about AA - at least based on hands on from others.
Hopefully we can skip it all starting at level 2 and not be ridiculously gimped.

Surprised. Impressed. Anticipating.
I hope the level to 30 is optional. I would assume if I figure out what I want to do I can stop the quests at say level 3 and level up doing other things in the world. That would make the most sense giving the gamer the option to be hand held through to the end or leaving and fending for yourself.
He mentioned that:
A Character will level up, but the chosen abilities have their own level too. If the player changes his/her mind and changes certain ability before reaching character's highest level, the changed ability level will be low but can be improved by earning XPs through activities such as hunting.
Does this mean after I reach max level I can no longer change my skills?
Last. Define 'soon' (hope it means this year!) :-)
Cant wait for this one boys (and girls).

There were not many offensive highlights during the Continental League opener between Douglas County and Mountain Vista on Sept. 26 at Shea Stadium.
It was a defensive struggle, and Douglas County's Huskies prevailed with a 10-7 triumph over the Golden Eagles.
"It wasn't about the highlights, it was about the win," said Douglas County senior linebacker Zach Barlow. "It felt great. I knew from last week the defense had to step up and bounce back. We did and we pulled it off. There's nothing better than coming out with a W."
Douglas County, 4-1 overall, lost its first game of the season Sept. 20, when Rocky Mountain notched a 42-21 upset over a Huskies squad that was ranked fifth in the state at the time.
"Our defense, considering how we played against Rocky Mountain — which wasn't very well — came out with an attitude and beat a pretty good team," said Douglas County coach Jeff Ketron. "It wasn't pretty if you like offense, but defensively I thought it was a masterpiece."
Barlow paced the Douglas County defensive effort with 10 tackles. The Huskies had six quarterback sacks, with Tomatea Bartlett credited with 2.5 sacks. Mountain Vista punted six times and turned the ball over on downs twice in the second half.
Mountain Vista finished with 133 yards total offense while the Huskies managed to gain 237 yards. In the scoreless second half, the teams combined for 139 yards in total offense, with the Golden Eagles limited to just 28 yards.
"We only rushed three and the defensive line just played hard," explained Ketron. "We tell our kids all the time, it's not a magic trick. You have to work for success, it's earned and not given, and that's what they did."
Douglas County scored on its first drive of the game, with Trey Smith scoring on a 54-yard run. It was a vintage sprint for Smith, the 6-foot-1 senior who has committed to play for Colorado State.
Smith, who rushed for 133 yards on 21 carries, took a pitch, raced around the corner, cut back and outran Mountain Vista defenders into the end zone.
"Hips, hips and gone, that looked pretty good," said Ketron.
Wyatt Bryan tacked on the extra-point kick after Smith's scoring scamper, then Bryan kicked a 47-yard field goal on the Huskies' next possession as Douglas County went ahead 10-0 with 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Mountain Vista, aided by two Douglas County penalties, drove 80 yards in 14 plays and cut the Huskies lead to 10-7 after Nick Schmalz scored on a 2-yard run.
Schmalz's TD and the extra point by Louie Sawaged with 6:44 to play in the second quarter were the last points scored in the game.
"One mistake here and one breakdown here and we are staring at another defensive battle loss," said Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash, who has watched his team lose its past two games by a total of four points. "It's one of those things where time is going to help us, but as the season progresses we are starting to run out of time. We've got to get it right. We'll work on it. I'm proud of our boys on how hard they fight and how hard they play."
Tyler Spond was in on 13 tackles to spark the Mountain Vista defensive effort. Luke Nelson and Preston Troxel each were credited with 11 total tackles.
The Golden Eagles had a couple chances to mount a second-half comeback.
After recovering a bad pitch in the third quarter at the Huskies' 39-yard line, Mountain Vista moved to a first down at the 25-yard line but wound up turning the ball over on downs at the 25 as Barlow sparked the defensive stand with two tackles for losses.
Mountain Vista had a first down at the Huskies' 41-yard line with 1:48 to play in the game, but the Golden Eagles lost 13 yards on the next four plays.
Golden Eagles quarterback Brock Rubley was thrown for losses three times and he tossed an incomplete pass.
"A minute to go we were in position to win it," said Cash. "We just have to not shoot ourselves in the foot."
Douglas County, 4-1 overall, played without standout tackle Jamin, Smith but he could possibly return in two weeks from an injured knee.
"It was like the first victory of the year," said Ketron. "You have to get that first victory. Now you can settle down and play. The same thing happens in the league. We only have four games left and we have three straight at home. We have Regis (Oct. 4), then ThunderRidge (Oct. 11) and Highlands Ranch (Oct. 17), so we just have to keep getting better."
Douglas County finishes the regular season Oct. 24 on the road against Chaparral.
Mountain Vista, 2-4, plays Chaparral Oct. 4, and Cash is hoping his injury list is reduced.
Running back Tanner Smith is lost for the season. Standout wide receiver Rocco Palumbo saw limited action against Douglas County because of an ankle injury, and running back Michael Evans, who had run for 36 yards on four carries, left the game in the first quarter after twisting his ankle.
"It makes it a struggle offensively and puts a lot of pressure on some kids that shouldn't have that much pressure, shouldn't have to bear that burden," said Cash. "I know the offensive line feels like it's all their fault and it's not. It's a team game."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Patrick Malone came to the third annual Castle Valley Summit with 27 years experience in the field of community and economic development. Malone was the keynote speaker during the breakfast at the summit which was held at the Museum of the San Rafael.
He began his speech with a quote from George McLean of Tupelo, Miss. "There is no Santa Claus in Castle Dale, Price or Washington D.C. or anywhere else for our communities. If you want a better community, you will have to have to do it yourself. If you don't do it, it will never get done," Malone quoted McLean. McLean made this statement in the 1940s.
Malone went on to explain the framework of basic community economic development. The first phase is town building, This consists of installing the essential community infrastructure, including education. A portion of this first phase is the human assets of a community. "I believe it is the responsibility of the educated people to help raise the level of their community, economically, educationally, and culturally," Malone said.
This phase must include building physical and human infrastructures. If this phase is done successfully, a good educational system for all will be included. Infrastructure is the foundation of economic development.
Phase two of his plan is to weave together all human, social and physical community assets and forge community trust, leadership, collaboration and social structures. This phase depends on community organization. Each community must have goals and work together to achieve those goals. If the community is closely linked with another community, each must have shared goals and participate in activities to attain the goals.
Strong leadership and social structures are very important in phase two. During this phase, all resources, including neighboring communities is essential. "In my experience, very few communities are functioning at this level," Malone stated.
In phase three, which is the highest stage of community evolution, entrepreneurship is stressed. Everyone who wishes to open a business or expand a current business should be encouraged. Communities must be encouraged to stop copying others and search inside themselves for new things. "In this level, I'm suggesting a community culture of entrepreneurship," said Malone.
"Many, too many communities, and rural communities, are organized around business recruitment. Only 1 percent of all new jobs come from business recruitment or relocation. Ninety nine percent of new jobs come from existing business expansion or business start-ups," Malone stated. Most communities look to the outside world for business opportunities instead of focusing on the retention of businesses already in existence in that community.
"Far too often people overlook the possibilities already in their communities. Our responsibility is to reverse past trends. We cannot continue to work harder, we must begin to work smarter," stressed Malone. "Weaving together effective and sustainable community economic development strategies requires strong leadership development, human organization and social development."
"Most communities are stuck in phase one, they need something to save them. Those at level three still need attention. Change is our only constant," Malone stated.
Malone went on to give examples of five communities who have made the successful transition to being healthy communities economically. With these examples, Malone explained that each community tapped into its strengths, identified its weaknesses, and worked together to solve the problems. Each inventoried their assets and built plans to capitalize on the infrastructure already in place.
The communities, two in Washington, one in Oregon, one in Mississippi, and one in Iowa, followed the outline to become successful. Each of these communities were serious in their commitment for success and economic development. Following the formula of leadership, organization, community spirit, community involvement, community assessment and focusing on the job at hand, made each one a success story.
One of the guiding principles to success is that locals must address local problems. This principle fits in with the strong leadership and looking inside for help. The solution to economic development comes when communities look within and not outside for answers.
"Not long ago nine out of 10 Americans were self employed. They knew how to sustain themselves. As with the town in Iowa, we need to create a new generation of entreprenuers. There are many support leagues or associations for entreprenuers, and I recommend getting involved with one of those networks. Being an entrepreneur is more about skill building. Most entrepreneurs are built, not grown.
"Ninety percent of what entrepreneurs learn, they learn from their peers, and they all need successful role models. Every entrepreneur should learn to redefine failure as a step for motivation," Malone concluded.

When a PlayStation teaser video hit YouTube last week, it caused due speculation. Did the video, depicting two soldiers entering a tavern in the woods, herald a new game? Or new hardware?
Now they know: The full ad, debuting online today and shown here, is part of a PlayStation brand campaign, "Long Live Play," in which Sony celebrates gaming itself by bringing well known game characters to a live action film.
The campaign revolves around a two minute spot that features 25 game characters from Kratos to Sackboy paying homage to an omnipotent being, Michael, who stands in for gamers everywhere. "We have this incredible who's who, this hall-of-fame list of characters," says Scott Steinberg, Vice President of Product Marketing at Sony. So, the thinking goes, why not put them to work in the campaign?
For gamers, this was a chance to see some of their favorite characters from the over sixteen years of PlayStation history reimagined for the real world. Produced with a high attention to detail, the spot even features the voice actors from the games to lend authenticity. And though Sony is well represented in the ad, with Nathan Drake from Uncharted and Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal, characters from other companies were also present: Ezio from Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, Snake from Konami's Metal Gear Solid series, and even a cameo by Chell from Valve's Portal series. Jason Elm, the executive creator director at Deutsch, says "We got all of the developers on board. And they helped us, giving us costumes they had, or giving us digital assets we used to create the weapons."
The commercial's creators wanted these recognizable figures from games to feel real, so what the game companies couldn't provide, Hollywood costume designers and prop makers carefully crafted. Even with that careful approach, some video-game makers were hesitant. "There was a little bit of reticence at first, but because people liked the idea so much, they trusted us," said Elm. "Sometimes we had to beg a little, and sometimes they were right on board." It took Deutsh and Sony five months to put it all together, working with 15 publishers to get all the characters just right. "No one has ever done a spot with multiple characters from many different games. No one has ever done anything with all those characters in one commercial, especially live action," said Elm. "There was a lot of headscratching about whether we would be able to pull this off. We didn't want this to feel like a costume party."
A 60-second version of the ad will run on ESPN, during Sunday and Monday Night Football. "We are focusing on a teen boy gamer, and we are going to be very aggressive in the media vehicles that target audience is either in or connected to," said Steinberg. And they expect the link to the full ad will be shared extensively, to the tune of 50 million impressions—the teaser currently has 2.4 million views. The campaign will then spread to Facebook, with an interactive component. Steinberg says, "We have a lot more of the campaign coming out in social and digital marketing, that turns over some aspects to our fans to personalize. That kind of customization is almost a game itself. It's very interactive and very personal." It all adds up to a campaign intended to push the PlayStation brand through the holiday season.
And while seeing digital characters fleshed out will impress players first, it is the message of the piece that Sony wants stay with them. "The hero of the spot is actually Michael. And that is a unique approach to gaming," said Steinberg.
Says Elm, "We wanted to make something that really demonstrated what it's like to play games and why gaming is so amazing. We want them to say, 'Yes! That's how I feel.'"

On-base housing builds a secure, tight-knit community among Marine families. Marines with families have the option of living with their families on-base in Military Family Housing. Those who are authorized to live off base will be compensated with a monthly housing allowance. In addition, the Veterans Administration (VA) offers loans for purchasing a home, both during and after service.
Every Marine family makes a commitment to our nation. In return, the Marine Corps makes a commitment to every Marine family. The Marine Corps provides many benefits and opportunities for families not found in the civilian world, including full health coverage, access to on-base medical facilities, free on-base housing, monthly housing allowances, low-cost mortgage loans and educational funding. In addition to the support Marine families offer each other, they have access to services such as day care options, family-friendly base amenities, family counseling, deployment support and relocation assistance. As much as service in the Corps ensures the future of our nation, it also creates a better future for those who serve. Ours is a family that takes care of its own, in every way.
To be an effective force in our nation's defense, our warriors must not only be highly skilled, but also highly educated and financially secure. If you earn our title, we will invest in you—advancing your mind, your career and your future. Whether you remain in the Corps for a single term or for an entire career, you will retain numerous benefits earned by keeping this nation safe and free. Our title is earned, never given. However, those who earn it gain access to a range of benefits unequaled in the civilian world. The educational opportunities and financial incentives we offer make for a more capable warrior—and a more secure nation.
Marine Corps Benefits
The advantages of becoming a Marine far exceed a simple list of benefits: those who earn our title are supported by the Marine Corps brotherhood. Tangible benefits include financial resources, family healthcare and insurance, housing and facilities, education, travel, vacation, and recreation.
Beyond Benefits
The advantages to becoming a Marine far exceed a simple list of benefits. Each Marine is supported by the Marine Corps brotherhood, as well as a range of personal and professional resources. Earning the title means one can forever call on the principles instilled in them, the Marines beside them and the commitments made to them in the Marine Corps.

1st May 2012 Immediate release
Famous Italian distiller and wine producer comes to Chesterfield for a unique tasting
Spain and Italy are coming together this month when one of the oldest Italian family distillers comes to Casa Hotel in Chesterfield for a wine and grappa evening with a difference. On the 21st May 2012, Casa Hotel will welcome Francoli, who have been distilling grappa and producing wine from their vineyards in Northern Italy for five generations. Francoli will visit Chesterfield with what they say is 'the smoothest grappa in the world'. Founded in 1951 by Luigi Francoli, the Francoli distillery has a rich history in the production of grappa and wines. Francoli's Jonathan Lyddon, who has over thirty years' experience in the wine and spirits industry, will be hosting the event. Jonathan has an unrivalled knowledge of these distinctive products having worked in extensively with some of the greatest names in cognac, whisky, burgundy….and now grappa!. He will explain the quality of the wines and grappa served at the dinner and will be delighted to answer any questions. The wines and grappa will be accompanied by a carefully constructed, Italian-inspired menu. Casa's rosette-awarded chefs will be using organically reared produce, sourced locally from Walton Lodge Farm. Stuart Downham, Operations Director at Casa Hotel, commented: "We are delighted to be able to welcome such a prestigious Italian company to Casa and to Chesterfield. Our chefs have worked hard to make sure that we produce a menu that complements the flavours of the wines and grappa." The Francoli evening is one in a series of wine tasting events that are taking place at Casa this year. Other events include: French, South African and a special Moet Hennessy evening in November. If you are interested in booking please call: 01246 245 999 or see the website for more information: www.casahotels.co.uk/events. – Ends – For further information on Casa Hotels call 01246 245999 or visit www.casahotels.co.uk For further media information please contact Victoria Civil, PR & Marketing Coordinator on 01246 245 986 or email firstname.lastname@example.com Notes to Editor: Brief history of the Francoli distillery : Originally started by Luigi Guglielmo in 1875, the Francoli family has been officially distilling grappa for five generations although the family has been involved in distilling grappa even longer. In 1951, at the age of only 21, Luigi Francoli founded his own distillery. His four younger brothers (Franco, Augusto, Giuseppe and Giovanni ) joined him and one by one came to support his dream of founding a prosperous grappa distillery. Thus the Fratelli Francoli distillery was born. Grappa is noble Italian spirit made for centuries by distilling grape skins. Aromatic white grapes such as Moscato produce some of the most perfumed of the grappas. Noble grape varieties such as Nebbiolo produce grappas that age really well in oak. Torraccia del Piantavigna The Francoli family's 100 acre wine estate Torraccia del Piantavigna is situated in Northern Piemonte and produces exquisite wines mainly from the Nebbiolo grape. The main vineyards are in the Ghemme and Gattinara DOCGs and Torraccia's wines from these appellations have achieved great distinction in some of Italy's most renowned tasting events. Casa Hotel: Notes to Editor: Facilities at Casa include: • AA 4* Hotel with 100 luxury bedrooms (including 6 suites) • 11 Meeting rooms to cater from 2-280 delegates • Banqueting suite for approx 200 seated guests • Gym • 100 cover AA rosette Cocina Restaurant • Selection of bars • Civil ceremony licence • 200 free car parking spaces • Complimentary high speed wireless broadband access throughout the hotel 96 deluxe bedrooms at Casa and each one features: • Air conditioning • Super King size beds • Rainshowers • 32″ Flatscreen televisions • Wi Fi • Floor to ceiling windows • Laptop safes • Mini fridge stocked with fresh milk and water There are six suites at Casa and in addition to the features in the Deluxe Bedrooms they offer: • Dining area / Lounge area • Dressing area • Separate shower cubicle • Double sinks • Jacuzzi bath (with Television) • Super King beds • Balconies (2 with hot tubs)

Bills' Dareus speaks, implies he hasn't heard from league yet
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 19 2014 8:06PM
The last time Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus addressed the media was on May 28, which followed his felony charges in the state of Alabama for possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
Dareus, at the time, said the whole thing was a misunderstanding and that it would be put behind him in the future.
"It's behind me, it's behind me. I mean, I'm not a trouble guy, I don't cause any problems nowhere. I'm not a loud guy, I don't do anything, just have fun and be myself. If things happen, things happen," he said. "I feel like I'm on the straight and narrow. Things happen; young, dumb. You've got to correct it and just work through it."
Just two days later, Dareus was arrested again. This time, he was booked for an alleged street race that resulted in multiple misdemeanor charges. From that day, the Bills and the defensive tackle have played it safe in nearly a three-month absence from addressing reporters.
That silence stopped on Tuesday.
"I'm 100-percent sure that everything is just fine and we're going to just keep moving forward. I don't have any worries," Dareus remarked, while not giving too many details about how the process is going. "I'm just kind of sitting back, putting my best foot forward and we're all riding together. We're just kind of doing the best that we can for the season for the Buffalo Bills."
The question that carries the most weight is in regards to the defensive tackle's standing with the National Football League. His two off-the-field transgressions could put him in jeopardy of missing games due to a suspension.
Dareus was asked multiple times about the league office's feelings on the matter, and he steered clear of making any notable comments. One could read through his answers that the fourth-year player has yet to be contacted by the league, however.
"I'm not really discussing that, because that's something I have to talk about with them. And when we get to that point, we get there," he quickly replied. "That there is just something, that if I do or when I do, that will be something I have to take up with them."
Dareus is among one of the most important pieces to the defense and is coming off a Pro Bowl season. The NFL has yet to give their decisions on some other players around the league that have gotten into trouble off the field through this offseason, which means the Bills are not alone in their wait.
The teams awaiting a decision from the league will likely have their answers ahead of the first week of the regular season. Buffalo opens up their campaign against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, September 7.

Duncan Keith: Sexist? Or just a jerk?
Patrick Johnston
April 23 2013 10:29AM
Yes, this is a very flattering picture of Duncan Keith
Twitter blew up on Monday night, and the blogosphere blew up on Tuesday morning, about an exchange between the Team 1040's Karen Thomson and Blackhawks dman Duncan Keith during the post game scrum on following Monday night's Canuckw victory. It was an exchange that focused on Keith errant slash of Daniel Sedin during the latter's scoring the third goal of the game.
Keith framed his comments as asking Thomson whether she had ever played the game. Did he do that because he figured, as a woman, she'd never played sports? Or did he do it because of the tired, 'oh, you're just a reporter, you couldn't possibly know what it's like to be in the heat of the moment during a game, since, obviously, you've never played the game.'
Many jumped on the former bandwagon, but is that really the case?
Before getting into what Keith said, let's recall the incident in question:
Keith is well and truly beaten; he's played the game enough to know that. It's clear he's had a beef with the Canucks (and Daniel in particular, it would seem) for some time. Seeing a Sedin streak away like that, given how badly the game was going anyway, must have been frustrating. I've played the game, and I've done stupid things with my stick.
But that doesn't mean you don't admit it was dumb.
What Keith did was pretty dumb. His timing was off. It was a desperate attempt, at best, to hinder Daniel's attempt on goal but more likely to just make sure he felt it. It was a cynical play, born from frustration and annoyance.
It was a fair thing to ask about after the game; this is a public sport, filled with opinion. The reporter's main job is to find out what happened.
That's what Karen Thomson was seeking to do. Too often sports reporters are guilty of asking 'softball' questions - of letting players off the hook in explaining their actions. Homerism probably did motivate Thomson somewhat, but in an indirect kind of way of knowing what the fans in Vancouver wanted to hear. Nothing wrong with any of that: she saw an event, one that most would see as somewhat harmless but still pretty callous, and she asked for a comment.
Instead, she got a response that was fuelled solely by arrogance.
'I'm a hockey player, what could you possibly know?' Maybe she should have said 'I don't know Duncan, you're the expert - we've all seen the video, you swung your stick wildly, is that a common practice for you? No? So why did you do it?'
Where this gets potentially far worse is Keith's inclusion of 'first female referee' in his response. Is he implying that since she's a woman, she's unlikely to become an NHL-qualified official? Probably. Is he implying 'this is a man's world, so get out'? That's harder to judge and I'm just not sure.
There's no doubting that Keith was being a massive jerk. He's parroting an old line, one that occasionally has some merit - there are plenty of commentators who make very little effort to understand how things happen, choosing to give their opinion without actually asking any questions - but in this case, Thomson was simply asking a question. It wasn't unreasonable for Keith to begin with 'what did you see?' but to then assume that her question was junk because it had merely been asked, that was ridiculous and over the line.
To even bring up gender? That's how you get into trouble.
Sexist or jerk? Clearly, both. And to the Chicago trolls on the site, this is not about a hockey competition, this is about a guy being an a-hole. By condoning his behavior you are tarring yourselves with the same brush.
He's both sexist and a jerk - but mostly a jerk.
I just wish I understood why Chicago has such a hate on for Daniel. Burrows I would understand, but Daniel?
April 24 2013, 03:47AM
Anyone who understand human relations knows the answer to your question.
He very clearly was being sexist. He used gender to belittle this reporter in an attempt to demonstrate she has no business asking her question - cause you know, she's female, she knows nothing about hockey. Most blatant example of sexism I've seen from a hockey player in a long time. Can hardly wait for this to be used a case study one day.
He is heated after a tough loss. As a result, his inhibitions are lowered. She then asked him a question he didn't like. He responded the only way he knew how when his inhibitions were lowered - he reverted to his normal self. The one who isn't putting on a show for the cameras, the one who isn't following post game script from his organization. He attacked using tactics which degrade, discredit, devalue the other person. Guess what? You can guarantee this is how he always is when he's angry. You know, a guy who would 2 hand chop a guy who blew by him on the ice and scored a goal. A guy who would say 'I'm gonna get you', then 10 minutes later elbow him in the head. Yah. This is the type of behavior of a devolved 12 year old kid who doesn't know how to deal with challenging situations. Uses sexist comments, physically attacks people to show his displeasure with a situation.
This is a guy who needs help - therapy most likely. I pitty his wife cause I guarantee she has to deal with this type of crap often. You know this isn't the first time this happened, and it certainly won't be the last.
"Harder to judge?" Good lord, no it is not. Of course it's sexist. Textbook sexist. Sexism 101, this is it. (While we're on our "isms", re: Fred-65's comment - I know plenty of labourers with more class than Keith. The stockbrokers? Not so much.)
I'd say it is on the same level as calling players "sisters" which the Sedins (and I've heard the kostitsyn brothers) are often reffered to as.
Yawn. You guys won. This is how you celebrate? No wonder ya'll almost burned down Vancouver.
And she was pushing his buttons. Lord knows Monica pushed mine, woooooo doggy!
April 23 2013, 10:49AM
Reminds of the tired Vancouver narrative from playoffs ago. Blackhawks "lost their composure".
April 23 2013, 11:53AM
Possibly (probably) the former, definitively the latter. Most likely simply the result of an entitled jerk who has talked that way all his life. I suspect it's unlikely "intentional" sexism, just part of who he is.
Stay classy, Dunc.
Well you have to be a jerk to be a sexist.. and I'm not entirely sure if Keith cares that he could be/is perceived as a sexist. Hockey is not a sport that has been particularly sensitive to gender issues. That much is at least clear from the responses among Chicago fans, apparently.
Lets be honest for the most we all realize that most of these guys would be in some labouring job if they weren't born with a certain sporting abilities. This is a case of a player who forgets that. He has a sense on public entitlement. Mr Keith seems to have lost his way, maybe its time he went home and visited family such as his mother and sisters.
If you're looking hard to describe this guy I have to think that word would be jerk
Well, we already know he's a jerk from past encounters.
It just turns out he might be sexist too.
sexest or jerk? Niether, if she was any kind of HOCKEY reporter she should know that if you score on a given chance the penalty would be waved anyway. Stupid question from a so called HOCKEY reporter.
I have played hockey as I defenseman for 44 years now. I will say what he did have any of you nah sayers ever played the game.
He was not beaten that badly, the play came from the far side of the ice, he tried his best to cover for his partner and catch him, as a last ditch effort tried to distract him from his shot with a tap letting him he was close. There was no intend to injure.
Even the commentator over reacted and then corrected himself.
If you watched the play closer and had ever played defense you would not of asked the question.
Not worth talking about after losing the game.
Ask about the game not a tap on the ass.

The Situation Room
Pat Steinberg
April 05 2010 08:43AM
Well, after an Easter to forget for the Calgary Flames and their faithful, just where does it sit now? With all the positive vibes coming from a well played 2–1 victory in Denver, a lot of it was undone with a 4-1 loss in Chicago on Sunday afternoon. Let's take a look at the situation as it sits now.
What Happened
The Flames fell by that 4–1 score to Chicago, their 8th consecutive regular season defeat at the hands of the Central Division Champions. Including playoffs, Calgary has lost 12 of their last 14 games against the high-flying Hawks. It was a frustrating game in many ways, with the Flames unable to convert upon chances early on, while also not being able to cash in on opportunities trailing 3–1 in the final frame. Goals early and late in the first didn't help matters, and as usual, the Hawks took advantage of mistakes and made their opponents pay.
It was not a banner afternoon for Jarome Iginla, who finished -2. The Calgary captain is having issues down the stretch, with just one goal in 13 games. In that span, he's -6. Overall, Iginla hasn't scored in 8 straight games. Against Chicago, linemates Matt Stajan and Niklas Hagman were also -2, as were d-men Jay Bouwmeester and Ian White. On a positive note, rookie Flames forward Mikael Backlund continues his strong play, and was once again one of Calgary's top players. His assist on the lone goal now gives him 5 points in 4 games.
To make matters worse, the Colorado Avalanche pulled out two points in a 5–4 overtime triumph at home to San Jose. The Avs lead 4–2 at one point before a Sharks push tied things heading into the extra frame. A John-Michael Liles point shot served as the game winner.
What it Means
The Flames loss decreased their Elimination Number to 3 games, meaning any combo of Flames losses and Avalanche wins. The subsequent Colorado victory now has that E# sitting at 2, with 3 games remaining for the Flames and 4 for the Avalanche. In terms of points, Colorado needs 4 in their remaining 4 games to clinch, providing they win at least once, which would guarantee them the tiebreak.
The Calgary loss also clinched wins for the 7th place Kings and 6th place Red Wings. Los Angeles did not play Sunday and sits with 95 points, the maximum number Calgary can reach now. However, with 44 wins, they have guaranteed themselves the first tiebreaker over the Flames. As for Detroit, they lost in regulation in Philadelphia, but already have 96 points; more than Calgary will be able to accrue this season.
What Happens Now
Calgary gets set for the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night at 7:30 pm (TSN, The FAN 960). It will be the final meeting between the teams this year, with Calgary holding the series edge winning twice so far. In their last meeting on March 19th, Calgary survived a late push to hold on for a 4–3 win. The Sharks are coming off a Sunday OT loss to Colorado. The Flames then play Minnesota on Thursday at the 'Dome before finishing their regular season at GM Place in Vancouver on Saturday night.
The Avalanche also play Tuesday night, on the road in Vancouver. The Canucks have had Colorado's number, winning four of the five previous meetings, including both at GM Place. It's the first of a back-to-back set for the Avalanche, who then play Wednesday in Edmonton. Colorado is 3-2 against the Oilers this season. The Avalanche are 9-5-1 on the first half of back-to-back sets, but just 4-9-2 on the second half. Colorado finishes their season Friday and Sunday, at home to Chicago and Los Angeles respectively.
Things look a whole lot bleaker on Monday morning than they did on Saturday morning, but lets see if the Flames will keep us interested until game #82 like a lot of us thought they would.
c'mon AV's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is likely the most frustrating year of Iginla's career. He continues to take critisizm from fans and the media however how many people here would be motivated to hear you are now going to be playing with the likes of Hagman, Stajan and Kotalik? There are problems inside this organization when one of the class players in the league is cleary missing another gear and the passion he had not long ago.
In a recent post game interview Craig Conroy commented on the superstars of the Chicago Black Hawks and pointed out a few of them. When referring to the Calgary Flames he only referred to Jerome as being the superstar on the Flames and creatively stickhandled around the conversation to basically say thats all they have without actually saying it.
The answer is not to get rid of Iginla as has been the talk by a number of fans. They need to fix the environment within this organization.
Sutter has been given enough time to build this team and cleary he has failed and like any professional run organization the Flames must remove him from his current postion at seasons end.

Unleashing Climate Data to Empower America's Agricultural Sector
Cross-posted from the White House Blog:
Today, in a major step to advance the President's Climate Data Initiative, the Obama administration is inviting leaders of the technology and agricultural sectors to the White House to discuss new collaborative steps to unleash data that will help ensure our food system is resilient to the effects of climate change.
More intense heat waves, heavier downpours, and severe droughts and wildfires out west are already affecting the nation's ability to produce and transport safe food. The recently released National Climate Assessment makes clear that these kinds of impacts are projected to become more severe over this century. Read more »

"My daughter loves it and wears it with pants and skort. I love how it's neutral gray and goes with practically anything. It's slightly long but she'll get more wear out of it."

"My daughter has had a couple pairs of the Converse boots and SHE LOVES THEM! This pair is very cute with the light gray and the purple/pink accents and laces...Like most Converse - they run long and narrow - but it helps in this case because they will fit a little longer (which you want since they're so awesome - and get compliments every time she wears them!) The zipper on the back makes it super easy to get in/out of and the laces stay tied so she's not always having to stop and tie them. Definitely won't be disappointed with this purchase!"

We're psyched that Mulberry's resort 2012 collection is so denim-centric, and that the whimsical ideas behind it (like beach-side donkey rides, hence the burro faces), translated into such chic ideas for summer get-away dressing! Cropped skinny jeans and sweet sleeveless denim dresses are perfectly pretty against the light caramel and black leather bags. It also helps that the model's hair is a perfect blonde to compliment the color story. The rest of the set features killer outerwear options for spring (and a really random giant strawberry appliqued onto a black tutu-esque skirt).

Great little shoe
"The fabric is great, breaks in easily and no blisters. I love the rubber sole, I have another pair with a cloth sole and they wore out quickly. These are holding up really well and the colors are great!"
