Kerry Allred
A memorial service was held on Sept. 13 for trapped miner Kerry Allred, who passed away as a result of the Crandall Canyon mine disaster. Pastor Sam Wilbanks began the service with a reading from John14 1:6 which said trust in God and don't let your heart be troubled. In my Father's mansion there are many rooms, I am going there to prepare a place for you. I will come back and bring you where I am.
Brooks Gordon played a song he had written for Kerry. He said Kerry would sing the song "Mary Lou" and would change the lyrics to match whichever girl he was was singing it for. Brooks thought the name of the song was Becky Lou for his sister Becky. "Kerry always started a new song before he finished the last one. He liked Ricky Nelson. Kerry liked the songs of the 60s and I liked the songs of the 90s. My dad, Kerry and I would write songs we never finished and we never wrote any of them down."
Jesse Gordon said Kerry was a clown. "His nicknames were Inky and Flash; also Flush and Flushee. He even had the nickname Hollywood and he was Hop Sing, once at elk camp, he didn't hunt, but he was the entertainment and did the cooking. I spent many hours at their house playing. He was also a drummer, he would drum on a five gallon drum at work to keep them entertained. One day I came upon him sitting in a lawn chair with a new hat on. I asked him what he was doing and he said, 'I was just sitting here, thinking about how much I look like George Strait with this hat on.' I told him yeah, from the eyebrows up.
"He was a NASCAR fan. One of his favorite jokes, was, 'Want to hear a couple of doosies,' Doosie, Doosie, he would say. He always wore his velcro tennis shoes and he was very proud of his long hair in the back. We will miss you, buddy," said Jesse.
LouJuanna Snow said Kerry was always an entertainer. One day at school he laid a big smacker on her and said, "We're kissin cousins," to everyone around. He was very special. He is now with the cousins in heaven."
Kerry's friend Greg VanWagoner said Kerry hunted every woman in two counties until he met Bessie, Bessie is a wonderful woman. Kerry loves all of us. He was the best friend I ever had. I thank Kerry for the guitar chords he taught me."
Seretia Snow said she is another of the kissin cousins and she remembers Kerry sang from the time he was little.
Aunt Utahna said when Kerry was three he went to a Kiwanas talent night and sang, "Your Cheatin Heart" and won first place. Kerry is in heaven now, singing with grandma and grandpa. "He will be the singingest angel ever."
Uncle Stanley, Kerry's brother-in-law said Kerry and Bessie met while he was working at the trading post. The white man came to the hogan when they got married and they had mutton stew and fry bread. From there on they made a life, they have three wonderful children and grandchildren. He thanked everyone for all the prayers on behalf of the Allred family throughout the tragedy.
Carol Pilling said, "It is important our loved ones know how we feel about them. One day, I told Kerry, 'Kerry I've never met your wife, but she must be a brave person marrying you,' he just laughed. Kerry always thought Bessie had such beautiful hair."
Tifani Marasco, Kerry's daughter said, "Sometimes we are told no in our prayers. It takes a lot of faith. Thank you from our family. One thing I have learned through this experience is compassion and the feeling I have for other people for everyone who has lost someone. I think back to people who have lost someone and I know what you've been through. My father believed in the Lord, but he had his habits, too. He had his squishy packs and man juice. I express appreciation for the men who work in the mine. I am proud to say my Dad was a coal miner. He supported his family. Thanks to the men who were in there trying to get those miners out. I am so sorry that three men were killed. They are heroes. We have a bond with the families. I don't know why these six guys were in there.
"Dad loved attention. This has been some attention, the whole world knew him. Dad hated funerals, it's ironic, he isn't here at his own funeral. He was a neat guy. He didn't have any enemies," said Tifani.
Tifani thanked her husband for being there for the family through the whole ordeal and pulling them along. "He helped a lot, he kept us laughing."
Steve Allred thanked everyone for their support and prayers, "The prayers weren't answered the way we wanted. The family has been going through hell this last 39 days. It's been a roller coaster ride. Thanks for your support and offers of help. Some calls just telling us, you loved us. It has all helped. My brother was very special to me. We always wondered what the V. in Kerry's name meant, but I think it means very funny, very friendly, very helpful, very spontaneous, very lucky and very special. He was always there, just a phone call away. He was that way with a lot of people, helping them with their projects. He was a hard worker that had a lot of friends."
Bessie's niece, Marcella James sang, "Amazing Grace."
The services concluded with remarks from Pastor Wilbanks. He said the first time he met Kerry, Kerry told him, 'You don't look like a preacher to me.' God, brought Kerry into my life for a reason. Why death, why separation? If we didn't have death we wouldn't need God. We need God, we need that relationship with him. God is not far off. He wants to be part of your life. We have no idea, what tomorrow might hold, but we know who holds tomorrow. I will miss Kerry, I will miss his phone calls. He liked to bring people joy. He loved people."
Kerry's son,TyLee Allred said, "My dad is the man who influenced me to pick up a guitar. He wasn't really a good singer, but listening to him, he was interesting and how he sang, made him amazing. He had a unique way of singing. I will miss my friend, my father, my hero. I anticipate the day I will see him again. I will always remember his little sayings of advice. He would always say, 'Do as I say, not as I do.' I will always remember his advice."
Don Erickson
Services were held for Don Lavon Erickson on Sept. 14. He was one of the six miners who died on Aug. 6 in the Crandall Canyon Mine Disaster.
Many friends and family members gathered at the Helper Civic Auditorium to remember Don. Bishop Alan Isaacson conducted the services.
Don was a miner, trucker and worked at Helper Auto. He loved camping, four-wheeling, getting in the mud with his jeep and spending quality time with loved ones
Brandon Erickson, son of Don, remembered his dad. "Dad was a man of few words. If he gave you the look, you knew you were in trouble. At age 16, I got a ticket in Dad's truck and somehow he knew. Dad had a great love for trucks and cars. For many years his best friend was a red and white Bronco. Those two were always in the mud. Dad loved hunting, bowling, boating and camping. Dad and I had a lot of fun racing. Dad was a competitive racer. Dad was always there to keep me on the straight and narrow. When he thought I was headed down the wrong path, he was always there to tell me, 'Son, you're headed down the wrong road.'
"I wish we had one more time, one more camping trip, one more chance on the track. Thanks, Dad for all of your direction. Dad, I will miss you," said Brandon.
Terry Erickson, Don's brother spoke, "I wish I could turn back time and have things different. There are many things our Dad doesn't know we did. Sometimes we would dress in heavy coats and have BB gun wars. We used to play a lot of tricks on each other. One time Don was working on his Mustang and I remember helping him put headers on that car. He always wanted to help out. He was a good friend and a good brother. One day we had an apple fight with the apples from the neighbors apple tree because they weren't home. The next day my Dad had us out there cleaning up all the apples. I always enjoyed the hunting trips with our Dad.
"Don is in good hands now, but I still wish he were here in our hands. I love you, Don," said Terry.
Family friend, Ron Young, thanked Nelda and the family for the opportunity to say a few words about Don. "We worked in the coal mine together. We went riding, hunting, fishing and shared adventures together. I thought about what to say today, and was going to tell some stories, and then I thought, I can't tell that one, it will get either get Don or me in trouble. Don used to drink a cold beverage on special occasions. He could ride a wheeler and never spill a drop. Don loved Ferron Mountain. Whether he was camping at the Swinging Bridge or working in the coal mine, Don was a good man, he loved his wife, he loved his family. He was a good friend and I'm going to miss him. Thank you Don for being such a good friend."
Amanda Romero, daughter, read a poem in tribute of her father. A video was shown with a collection of pictures from Don's life, showing him with family and friends, hunting, fishing and just being with them. Many photos of Don with his grandchildren showed how much he loved them and they loved him.
After the services, the family gathered outside to release balloons in honor of Don.
Brandon Phillips
Services were held for Brandon Phillips on Sept. 15. Brandon is one of the Crandall Canyon miners who lost their lives on Aug. 6.
Dennis Gordon conducted the services held at the Orangeville church. William Langi, a friend of Brandon's recalled their time together. He said he wanted to be Brandon's friend because Brandon was popular and always seemed to get all the girls. Sleepovers at Brandon's were full of fun and freedom and giggles. "We always ate like a king at Brandon's house. A friend is someone you can be yourself with in front of the people you really care about. Brandon was a brother, father, grandson, nephew and a friend. No one teaches you how to lose a friend. Brandon taught us all something, he taught not to leave anything unsaid and to give love when love is needed."
Marvin Garrett, one of Sheila Phillip's uncles spoke next. He said, "Brandon was a great father to Gage. He had an undying love for his family. He loved and respected his sisters. He would jump out and yell, 'Got ya,' at them and the sisters, would yell, 'Mom, Brandon's teasing us again.' Brandon loved his red baby blanket made by a grandma. Brandon and Jamie (Brandon's father) went to Las Vegas to the NASCAR. Brandon loved vacations to Lake Powell and to Otter Creek. Brandon learned to play slapjack, bait a hook, tell fish stories and torment his Mom and sisters. Brandon loved snowboarding. He loved racing. He rode his 4-wheeler in the desert looking for arrowheads. He loved hunting. Brandon loved the Simpsons and told everyone his Grandpa Snow looked like Homer, no one believed him, until they met Grandpa Snow and then they agreed.
"Brandon's favorite time was dinner time. His best day was the day Gage was born. His first car was an '86 Camaro. Brandon spent every second he could with Gage. Brandon was good at sports, he liked to chase girls, he liked the outdoors and to go bird hunting. He will be known for his ability to make friends. The family wishes to thank everyone for their love and support through this trying time," said Garrett.
Family and friends shared their memories of Brandon which included: snowboarding, fighting and then getting picked up for fighting, playing with his yellow dump truck and sliding down the stairs on a blanket.
Gordon likened our lives to being on a train. "Each of us are on the train and we don't know when we will be asked to get off. We will see Brandon again."
A video tribute to Brandon was shown with pictures from his life and scenes from the mine disaster.
Bishop Roger Swenson spoke and said Brandon was a peacemaker, he often brought peace and comfort to those in distress. Bishop Swenson said one thing he has learned from the tragic circumstances he has seen as Bishop is that giving service to others helps heal broken hearts. He has consoled a 15 year old boy at the loss of his father, a wife at the loss of her husband to a drunk driver. "We might want to ask why. But, there is no way to answer that. Asking why causes anger and bitterness and prolongs an aching heart. Service to others will help mend the broken heart. We must be grateful for what we have, grateful for 24 years with Brandon. We must love each other more, care for each other more and say I love you more. As we honor our loved ones who are gone; the heartache won't go away, but it will be soothed if we seek Jesus Christ who will ease pain and bring comfort to the soul."
Allan Sharp said, "Brandon still lives. Our Savior has come to save us all and provided a way for us to be together with our loved ones again."
Elder Moon said, "Celebrating the life of Brandon has brought us together. These memories have brought us together. There is hope in the future. All humans are created in the image of God and have a divine destiny. We came to earth to gain an earthly body. We grow through the experiences we have. The family with the expressions of love that have come to you, makes you unique. You can now feel more for others in their times of troubles."
Elder Moon said there is one who has walked the troubled road before us and knows all our pain and sorrows. "Christ learned by what he suffered. Life is eternal, Brandon lives on, the things we do in this life prepare us to meet our loved ones. God loves each of you," said Elder Moon.
Brandon is the son of Jamie and Sheila Phillips, he was born on June 6, 1983 in Payson. He has two sisters, Camille and Cassandra and leaves behind one son, Gage, age 5.
Manuel Sanchez
A funeral mass for Manuel Sanchez was held on Sept. 15 at noon at the Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church in Price. Manuel is one of the six trapped miners who died in the Crandall Canyon coal mine on Aug. 6.
Manny was born on Nov. 26, 1964 in Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Father Don Hope celebrated the funeral mass for Manny. He said, "It is a celebration of the love we have for him and his love for us. It is a time of sorrow and a time of joy. Our hearts are not given to despair. We must remember how Manny touched our lives. At first we hoped the miners would be rescued. Then our hope shifted that we could lay their bodies to rest, then our hope shifted again that we might be reunited with them some day.
"In the gospel of John it relates how when Jesus was crucified, he said to John, 'Behold your mother and to Mary, behold your son. He gave them to each other to care for each other. He gives us that same farewell. Behold your daughters, sisters, mothers, fathers; all embrace each other in hope, trust and faith in Jesus. We will be united in that kingdom. Live out of that hope for each other," said Father Hope.
Manny was 41 years old. He loved and cared for his family. He paid the ultimate price. He gave his family a beautiful home to live in. Manny was an outdoor guy. He loved hunting and fishing. He liked to go to Green River to the beach. He was very close with his brothers. Manny and Marta were married for 23 years. Manny taught during trials and tribulations to take one day at a time.
Manny used to flirt with Marta when she worked in a grocery store. He was strict with his children for the right reasons. It is a shame the grandchildren will never have the chance to meet Manny. Manny was a remarkable, friend, brother and husband and father who was taken too soon. He will stay in our hearts and minds. We will keep moving forward. He will not be left behind.
Manny was the father of Aydaliz, Arturo, Ariana and Apolonia. He had two grandchildren, Cienna Peacock and Ziaden Muntag.
After the mass for Manny, friends and family gathered outside the church for a balloon release in memory of Manny.

The strangest team
Ryan Fancey
October 10 2012 08:38AM
With the lockout killing our creativity (especially mine) over the last while, I figured I'd open the floor to another discussion piece. The question this time being: Is there a team in the NHL as funky as the Leafs? And I don't mean like, good funky, either.
We've heard on many occasions that the Maple Leafs are a team without identity. We've heard that Phil Kessel doesn't have a backbone and the team is made up of a bunch of misfits. We've written about Burke turning a blind eye to goaltending and remaining on a mission to load up on a hundred defencemen. And recently it's been the news surrounding Francois Allaire that's had us in "what the hell?" mode.
Are the Leafs the most dysfunctional team in the NHL? Unlikely. Are they the weirdest? Probably. Going in to this season*, are they one of the most unpredictable? I'd say yes.
I don't think the Leafs will be good, but I have no idea how bad they'll turn out. A lot hinges on their goaltending, but they've also got a bizarre setup on the blueline and haven't figured out what to do with Cody Franson.
There's always something to give this team heat for.
Controversy seems to follow the Leafs due to their insane popularity, and it's compounded when they're awful, which has been the last decade.
Even when the Leafs do something good, it's a bit strange. The trade for James van Riemsdyk, which didn't really benefit the Flyers much at all, seemed to be in the works for years. It's like we collectively agreed JvR should be a Leaf, and then it actually happened. The Leafs are weird even when they're predictable, if that even makes sense.
For a team that's been outside the playoffs since I was in high school, though, much of the buzz the Leafs have created has been negative. Will it continue that way? With this team, it's tough to say. Cheering for the Leafs is like being trapped in a Hitchcock movie.
Who had the biggest late season collapse in recent memory? The Leafs.
Who won arguably one of the most exciting games since the lockout, only to see their dreams crushed by Wade Dubielewicz a day later? The Leafs.
Who fired their coach, then publicly said it was in part because fans ran him out of the building? You guessed it.
Who publicly smears one of their top prospects fairly regularly? The same team that sees a traded pick turn in to Tyler Seguin. The ridiculous stories write themselves over and over.
And this isn't necessarily an all-out knock on the team. They do a lot of dumb shit no doubt, but much of this is out of their control.
Every team experiences ups and downs, though I'm not sure there's one that can equal the Leafs in terms of being a league laughingstock and churning out weird storylines. The Habs and Oilers perhaps, but at least they haven't been a mess for eight full years.
We spend a lot of time saying the Leafs are bad. The Leafs are strange.
Is there a team that beats them for top spot in that regard?

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Am I the only one that's a bit overwhelmed by all these new characters? There's so much you need to take note of?
^Haha, yeah, all these characters at once are a bit much, And it even looks like a few of them will stay in the story even after the tournament is over (Especially Hyukudanhack and Ricky). Still, I've never really had a problem with this kind of thing in One Piece, I guess I've just gotten use to it after all these years of reading it. Plus I reread the chapters a lot, so that also helps.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I wonder how strong was garp back then in his prime time?
Don chinjao have number '12 tatoo? Former Kaidou pirates?
Each chapter comes with a lot of info, Difficult for me to get use to it lol. But the ones with the background are the ones where we will hear from again. But damn, wanted more action this chapter! :p
You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
Save yourself the trouble as I do guys, don't remember any names unless they make their importance to the story last.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Mangastream Version
The new Translation brings up an interesting fact. It says that if Elizabelio's Punch is strong enough to even knock out a Yonkou. Of course that's only if he manages to hit the Yonkou with a clean punch.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Damn. Don't get me wrong, this chapter was great. But as I have been suspecting, Oda eased up from his high octane a bit. Hopefully this isn't the chapter that leads us into break (which does anyone have confirmation one way or another?). I'd much rather have a chapter next week and then wait a week for one, because this week, as informative and suspense building as it was, simply fell flat of what I hoped to read. Cool characters though! Definitely a well-mixed variety of appearances, fighting styles, and abilities. Whose going to take/overcome Elizabello's Yonkou KO punch? Bellamy, you crazy son of...Wonder if Hack belongs to any crew or if he's a free floater; Bluegilly just looks silly--Sanji would wipe the floor with him; Bartolomeo can't be that bad....right?
Oda did choose to go with the more comedic reveal of Luffy's identity. Never thought Chinjao would play the part of trickster, however. Just who the hell is he?! Cavendish is going to flip shit. I wonder if showing Luffy his own wanted poster shredded was in Cavendish's best interest now....
Oh, and Ricky is unquestionably Kyros. The Bellamy-Bartolomeo Battle Royale just became a Triple Threat match.
Those fish look pretty cool. Looks like the front runners of block B are stepping out. I'm also interested to see more about Gladiator Ricky.
So Don Chin Jao busted luffy. Wonder what cavendish will do now that he knows who lucy really is. I hope they don't fight as it might lead to them being disqualified.
I'm interested to see what happens should Elizabelio land his main punch.
Loved how this chapter was going way too fast, introduced way too many new people, and had way too much going on--it perfectly reflected the chaos that you would get from having 138 people fighting at once! You really get an idea of the chaos happening down there right now. Great job, Oda!
For so long it's always been Luffy's and Ace's actions that were causing problems for Garp in the Marines. Finally seeing some of Garp's old actions causing trouble for Luffy. Hope more pirates with old guy's motivation show up since everyone knows the secret now.
Luffy is flanked on either side by people who want to kill him. Wonder if they will make it to their appropriate tournament rounds to start the fight!

As part of his late-inning effort to capture the attention of cultural conservative voters in Iowa, Rick Perry provided an ad that received both media attention and the response of perturbed progressive opponents, fellow Republicans concerned about the anti-gay strategy, and internet parody producers.
The ad proclaimed his proud Christian identity, asserted that military service by gay persons is a problem, and attacked President Obama's "war on religion." Part of this attack was a perennial mainstay of cultural conservative angst during the Yuletide season: "there's something wrong in this country when . . . kids can't openly celebrate Christmas."
This parry by Perry against an allegedly pernicious "War on Christmas" was preceded this holiday season by media cultural warrior Bill O'Reilly, as well as the cast of Fox and Friends, whose annual protestations were met by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart with a predictably satirical response.
The FOX News diatribes have included concerns, for instance, that the National Christmas Tree outside the Capitol isn't sufficiently Christian, despite the historical context (ironically reported by FOX News) that the Christmas tree tradition isn't even Christian in the first place.
This year, Perry isn't the only one leveraging the political value of Christmas, as recent ads from Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul illustrate. Perry's ad, however, is the only one in this presidential year to explicitly allege a "war" on religion, and implicitly allege a "war on Christmas." Since we are once again in a time when our holiday season intersects with a high-profile campaign season, and in what I believe is in the true spirit of a defense of Christmas, I offer an essay co-written a few years back by myself and my friend and colleague Michele Ramsey from Penn State University—Berks Campus, which contextualizes the so-called "War on Christmas" in a way usually absent from the media coverage of this so-called controversy.
Merry Christmas – and Happy Holidays – to you and yours from the Political Denizens.

I'm hearing rumblings of anti-video game sentiment after this latest tragedy in Washington. Of course a sound political platform wouldn't need to exploit big, splashy, deadly, tragedies; but the anti-video game "family" groups would rather strike while the emotion is hot rather than let logical cooler heads make decisions. And although the pro-gun lobby has sound Constitutional ground to stand on voices within the NRA and other gun lobby groups would rather engage in scape-goating, lest someone blame guns instead. Since there doesn't seem to be an obvious video game link in this instance, the accusers (specifically this time a couple of Fox talking heads) have used coincidence. The shootings happened in the same week as the release of "Grand Theft Auto V."
GTA is one of the most picked-on video game franchises. The games are far from the most violent or realistic, and yet ask one of the "footloose town," book-burning, "won't someone think of the children," types about video games and that's the one most mentioned. But rather than just point out how pathetic and uneducated those voices are, I'm instead going to do something that they CAN'T.
I'm going to tell you what Grand Theft Auto IS. They can't because they have never experienced it. They don't play video games. They condemn based on a title and cherry picked scenes from gameplay. They speak from a position of ignorance. I on the other hand have played nearly every Grand Theft Auto game, starting with the very first one. You may be surprised by this story, unless you to have played GTA: San Andreas.
The in-game character the player controls is Carl Johnson, also called C.J. Carl is from a poor, inner-city household. Carl, his brother (called Sweet,) and sister Kendell were raised by their mother in this "bad" part of the city of Los Santos (the game world's version of L.A.) When the game begins Carl is returning home after spending several years living in Liberty City (the game world's version of New York.) Sweet had been tired of the police not taking care of the drug and gang problem in his (and his mom's) neighborhood. To keep the pushers and gang members out, he started his own gang of neighborhood youngsters policing his own "turf." To kickstart the game, C.J. is returning because someone had murdered his (and Sweet's) mom. Unfortunately before he can even leave the airport, C.J. is confronted by a very crooked pair of police officers who lean on C.J. to do jobs for them. Not like a legitimate police C.I. (informant) but instead as a clean-up man covering for the officers' illegal activities.
There's a very rich and detailed story of loyalty, betrayal, redemption, and vengeance in this "homecoming of age" story. There's no doubt it is a brutally violent story and setting. But the major themes of GTA:SA…
Nothing is more important than FAMILY.
Drugs are BAD, they hurt the user and everyone around them.
That's what everyone is railing against, screaming in all their ignorance that the pro-family and anti-drug message is wrong. I find that funny. But it's not the message they hate, it's the framework that message is presented in.
And you know what? They have a valid point. GTA games (all of them so far) are brutally violent. I really do think it might send a mixed message at the player unless that player has the experience to put the game in the proper frame of reference. A player needs to be old enough to understand the context of the violence in order to properly interpret the message and separate it from the violent gameplay. And the ESA has addressed this issue as all GTA games have been rated M for Mature. Placing blame for any underage kid getting his hands on the game squarely on the shoulders of the offending retailer or (far more likely by all studies) the parent who doesn't care enough to monitor what their kids are playing.
Still, GTA games are a framework for those stories. You don't have to constantly work on progressing the story. I freely admit that I'll sometimes kick on GTA just to virtually break some law in front of a cop and start an exciting and fun police pursuit, placing myself in a fleeing vehicle vs. the fictional SAPD. By the end of the chase (win or lose) along the way I may have wrecked and stolen a dozen or more cars and even possibly hijacked an airplane or two. And other players do much worse; it's easily possible to go on brutal, rampaging, killing sprees in GTA games. Making the anti-game violence crowd roar in protest, mainly because that's all they ever see of the game.
But they (like children themselves) don't put the violence in the right context. It's a virtual, cartoony, unrealistic kind of violence that physically injures no one since the actions portrayed are not happening in real life. Engaging in virtual violent behavior can be cathartic. Just knowing I can go home, pop on GTA, and go on one of my epic police chases seriously decreases the chances that I will instead follow the car that just cut me off and take a shovel to it and its driver as soon as it stops.
Now one of the problems I've heard discussed about the latest (and billion dollar selling) GTA game just hitting stores is that It's 3 main playable characters aren't as sympathetic as say C.J. from San Andreas. But even if that is true, the real solution of the "problem" of violent videogames is pretty easy.
Parents or Guardians… DO NOT BUY A GAME FOR A KID THAT EXCEEDS THE RECOMMENDED AGE RATING FOR THE PLAYER. There… problem solved. Now just take all that excess ire and get riled up about something the other political party is doing. After all, the only way to prove that they're wrong is to yell talking points louder than they do. It requires just as little thought as condemning an entire entertainment medium that they know nothing about, should be right up their alley.

love the color
"The first time i saw this converse i fell in love. I decided to order a size 7 because the other converse i have is the same size and they are comfortable. I gave it a 4 star because the toe area is too exact, you will have to go half size up in order to wear it with socks. i decided to wear it without socks and after several hours it was rubbing the back of my heal. Then i put the socks on to ease the discomfort and it was just a bit tight for me. All and all i still love the sneakers. i will get it stretch."

Tournaments bring huge economic impact, positive exposure to Henrico
Pity the last-minute traveler who needs a weekend hotel room in Henrico County this month.
They're likely all gone – reserved months ahead of time – by players, coaches, parents and fans of the Jefferson Cup soccer tournament, a three-weekend event that began last weekend and will involve 916 teams from 35 states and Canada before wrapping up March 25.
By its conclusion, the 916-team tournament will have brought more than 13,500 athletes and an estimated 20,250 spectators to Henrico and Metro Richmond, filling about 21,000 hotel room nights and contributing more than $15 million to the local economy.
And though the tournament is the most significant recreational sports event in the region, it's not the only one helping to raise Henrico's profile nationally while making a positive impression on its bottom line.
In Fiscal Year 2011 (which concluded June 30, 2011), nine youth and adult sporting events in Henrico County contributed $100,000 or more apiece to the county's economy – including six that generated more than $1 million apiece – by drawing athletes from 1,999 teams, associated spectators and other visitors to the county from outside
the region.
In total, the economic impact felt by Henrico County as the result of recreational sports tourism during that time period totaled nearly $30 million, according to figures provided by county officials.
Factor in the professional sports – in the form of two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series races that take place each May and September at Richmond International Raceway in Henrico, drawing a total of more than 300,000 fans from all 50 states to the county and an estimated regional economic impact of $417 million annually – and
the effects of sports tourism here are clear.
"It means a lot of things," Henrico Recreation and Parks Director Neil Luther said. "It certainly promotes spending in Henrico but it also is a good way to represent the county to these visitors who are coming in."
Alive and kicking
When the Richmond Strikers hosted the first Jefferson Cup travel tournament in 1980, it's likely that no one associated with the organization could have known what it would become. In the two decades after that first event with a handful of teams, the tournament steadily expanded and attracted more teams from outside the region and the state.
By 2005, it was drawing nearly 250 boys teams and 250 girls teams. Then the recession hit in late 2007, and participation in the tournament. . . increased. The Jefferson Cup has nearly doubled in size during the past seven years, growing despite the sagging national economy during a time when families are cutting their own budgets and watching every dime.
But perhaps that shouldn't come as a surprise.
"Youth sports is fairly recession-proof," said Scott Turner, the executive director of the Richmond Strikers Soccer Club, which host and organizes the tournament.
Luther agreed.
"Parents are spending a lot of money – maybe a thousand dollars a year to enroll their kids in a travel team," Luther said. "We're seeing the evidence backed up in national trends. People are making choices whether they're just going on a family vacation or combining that with somewhere their children are going to be in a tournament."
Today, the Jefferson Cup has grown into the largest single youth soccer travel tournament in the United States and one of the "big five" tournaments recognized as the best nationally (the others are held in Dallas, Orlando, San Diego and Washington, D.C.). It features competitions in age divisions from Under-10 through Under-19 and is divided into three weekends; March 9-11 for boys, March 16-18 for girls and March 23-25 for teams trying to qualify for next year's event.
"The economic impact is huge for our county," Turner said. "I've lived here for 25 years, and seen the growth."
Though more than 1,400 teams applied for this year's Jefferson Cup, tournament organizers rejected some 500 applications because those teams did not meet their high standards for inclusion. Despite the rejection, this year's field grew by more than 100 teams compared with last year's.
Tournament directors spend weeks reviewing each team's performance during the previous year and running analytical models to ensure only the top teams are included, Turner said.
"We do our homework. Not only do we pick the highest quality games, but we bracket those games so they are very competitive," he said. "Nobody wants to fly into Richmond from California and win every game 5-0."
The steady growth of youth soccer in the United States has caught the attention of localities throughout the nation, many of which are angling to attract visitors and tourism dollars by hosting similar tournaments. But Metro Richmond has a leg up, Turner said.
"We're aware this is a competitive market. Major complexes being built as we speak," he said. "We feel like we've created a first-mover advantage. As long as we can deliver a high quality product, we believe teams will continue to come back."
Impact of other sports
Though soccer clearly is the driving force behind the lion's share of the economic impact felt by recreational sports tourism in Henrico, other sports are doing their part, too.
In recent years, Henrico has hosted a number of state, regional and national Babe Ruth Baseball and Softball tournaments in Varina and Glen Allen, including last year's 14U Babe Ruth Baseball World Series at RF&P Stadium in Glen Allen. With those events under its belt, the county seems to have established itself in the rotation for future events.
Last year's World Series, in which the home team fell one run short against a team from Oregon in the title game, served as a showcase not only to the teams and their supporters who made the trip, but also to those who could not. Henrico officials streamed all games live online for free, something most other host sites offer for a fee, if they offer it at all.
"After the tournament, I got an e-mail from a lady from Texas who was able to stream games," Luther said. "She just said it was wonderful, it was a marvelous experience and that she was able to "be" here. She remembers Henrico County, and her son remembers Henrico County. That's what this emphasis on sports tourism is all about, making
those connections."
The county also is home to the Richmond Volleyball Club, located near Staples Mill Road and I-64, which hosts several large tournaments each year as well as local and regional events for adults, youngsters and high school teams.
In the past 12 months, RVC's two largest tournaments combined to create an estimated economic impact of $3 million for the region, according to officials.
The 2011 South Atlantic Championship/Boys' East Coast Championships last Memorial Day weekend drew 220 teams and more than 6,000 players and spectators to the Greater Richmond Convention Center, while January's 2012 Monument City Classic attracted 280 teams and more than 8,500 players and spectators. In both cases, nearly all the
teams came from outside the region.
Because of its stranglehold on the local hotel market, Henrico benefits from events such as those even when they take place in another locality.
The MRCVB estimates that each out-of-town visitor that comes to the region for a sports tournament spends an average of $208 per day. Hotel operators in the county feel the positive effects of that spending.
"We're booked all weekend," said Dan Rand, sales director at the Comfort Suites hotel in Innsbrook, describing the impact of the Jefferson Cup tournament. "Typically we're booked a couple of months in advance of these tournaments."
Rand estimated that the hotel is completely booked about four to five times a year – and just about each occasion is directly related to a recreational sporting event or a NASCAR race. Recently, the nearby SkateNation Plus facility has helped fill a number of rooms at the hotel through ice hockey tournaments, Rand said.
SkateNation Plus is the only ice skating rink in Henrico and one of two primary facilities in the region and is home to youth and adult ice hockey leagues and tournaments, as well as figure skating competitions. It also attracts recreational ice skaters from the region and state.
Becoming proactive
During the past three fiscal years, sports tourism for recreational sporting events in Henrico has ranged between about $21 million and $33 million, according to county statistics.
While that immediate impact primarily is felt in the hospitality industry – through hotel stays and restaurant visits – and to a lesser extent through retail expenditures, the long-term benefits, though more difficult to measure, may be even greater to Henrico.
Tournaments and other sporting events provide an opportunity for the county to make a name for itself nationally by putting its best foot forward to tens of thousands of new visitors annually.
"Every one of them is potentially a customer, potentially a resident," Luther said. "They may make a lot of decisions based on their first experience, their first experiences here."
Tournaments like the Jefferson Cup present Henrico with a unique opportunity to capture far-away visitors and entice them to stay a few extra nights to enjoy the county's history, shopping, performing arts and other amenities.
In an attempt to become more pro-active, Henrico officials recently created a new position for a tourism supervisor and hired former Henrico County Public Schools Public Information Director Dawn Miller to fill it. Miller is tasked with promoting all aspects of the county – including sports – to potential visitors and organizations.
"Sports tourism is one of the largest parts of travel right now [to Henrico]," said Miller, who has spent two weeks in the new position. "We've got different areas that we can plug other tournaments into. It's an exciting future here for sports tourism."
The climate is right for the county to capitalize on its assets, Luther said.
"We're well positioned because of our facilities, exceptional staff, we have most of the hotel rooms in the area [nearly 54 percent of those in Metro Richmond, or 9,021 total], destination shopping – a lot of things that come together nicely for these people who come to town. Sports tournament venues are things that drive repeat visitation for your locality. They're not just a one-and-done type event."
A study conducted by the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau found that 93 percent of all visitors to the region planned to return – 44 percent within a year, and 61 percent within two years.
When they do come back, Luther wants them to know where they're headed.
"We want them to know and love Henrico," he said.

Samsung SDI has revealed a 3D active matrix (AM) OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display, which it claims is the world's first, at San Francisco's Society for Information Display (SID) show.
The 4.3-inch prototype provides the world's highest resolution, WQVGA(480×272), in terms of 3D images, the company said.
The new product is also much faster in displaying 3D images than existing LCD-based 3D displays by adopting AM OLEDs whose response time is 1,000 times faster than that of TFT LCDs, the company added.
Samsung SDI emphasized that by adopting a new technology called Time Division Parallax Barrier Method, the 4.3-inch prototype can realize the same level of resolution even when users convert 2D images into 3D, while existing LCD-based 3D displays decrease the resolution by half during the conversion.
The company said it aims to commercialize the product by the end of 2007 and is stepping up the development of the technology for use with notebooks, TV and home automation control devices.
Within the next ten years, most flat-panel displays will adopt the 3D display technology, Samsung SDI executive vice president Chung Ho-Kyoon said.
According to iSuppli, the global demand for 3D display panels is expected to increase from 4.9 million units in 2007 to 8.1 million units in 2010.

Halo? Metroid? Red Faction? Why is your console the best?
Posted 17 May 2005 - 04:24 PM
what good is a great system going to do you if you only have a handful of titles such as xbox has (not to knock those games though they are great)
but when you think about it why is halo so famous?
i say marketing
there are more realistic games, more fantasticalgames, better weapon systems, whatever your fix may be halo is not the only first person shooter
it doesnt have any ground breaking features
its not the best story (obvious open to opinion)
i just see it as a great marketing scheme by microsoft
again dont get me wrong it is a high quality game; very enjoyable
but since the "great" games are so few and far between for xbox it was a must have for those who owned the console
let's move on before i steal too many points...
on the other end of the spectrum you have sony who has every conceiveable game made...twice.
again some with high quality, some without
but putting out so many, shall i say, shitty games in public is really damaging the reputation of the PS series
again ill leave a lot to discuss yet for these...
nintendo is a different story
they are (without giving a big history lesson) a software company gone hardware, much like sega.
nintendo knows software (games) and they know it well.
thats why you see many great game titles publisized beyond belief. and then on top of that they have under the radar games that are innovative and just damn fun to play (pikmin, animal crossing)
before i start to sound biased ill start knocking the nintendo corperation
since they lack the financial backing nintendo had to find that niche in the market relatively fast
they ended up with a younger audience focusing most of their "only for" game titles towards the ESRB rating at E (everyone)
and for many of us that sucks. we want to kill and explode and such.
of course there are solution routes for each one of these systems
but i want to here your opinions before i throw those out
if you read this all before you posted i would like to shake your hand.

I play xbox the most, then GC, then PS2.
I don not like halo. Either one of them and I agree with you on everything you said about the game that I don't think its anything special. Its popular because the amount of multiplayer stuff available and xbox live. w/o xbox live it wouldn't be that big. Personally I'm not big on FPS.
My favorite genres are
Sports (anything sports)
Action/ Adventure
Survival Horror
GC is targeted towards a younger audience
PS2 is targeted in Japan (not America) they get everything there first for it
XBOX is the only console targeted for the USA. XBOX live is the best invention in gaming to date. Nobody can deny that. That alone makes the xbox a better system. It has better graphics- less loading times- better and cheaper online play- online voice and using IGN rating system both systems(xbox, PS2) have about 10 percent of there games as a 9.0 or higher. So the quality is the same. PS2 has a bigger selection but I think xbox only games are way better then PS2 only games. I rate the systems like this
1 Xbox
Posted 17 May 2005 - 05:05 PM
ill deny it
of course ill be all technical and wormy about it and say the atari 2600 was the best invention in gaming history
but i do think xbox live was the best invention since...hmmm... 3d graphics
now getting to your point about xbox live being the factor that sets xbox apart from the rest i agree
but it is not a pattened feature and (i can garuntee this) it will be mimicked by every upcoming system. not to mention it could have done by both PS2 and gamecube as well (why they didnt is beyond me)
now with all three having "online capabilities" what would set xbox apart from the other two?
well without pulling out the fact sheet (please dont make me i hate browsing the internet) i can confidently say nintendo has the largest capacity for graphics (fast pixel rendering speed officially termed "refresh rate")
but that's irrelevant now because the sytems about to be released will be different comparatively
anyhow i highly doubt that graphics alone will dominate a market (other than PC but let's leave that out)
so again what makes xbox better?
Posted 17 May 2005 - 11:28 PM
Xbox is the best system for multiplatform games (most of the time. Soul Caliber 2 was best on GCN for example). Live is great but I hate the fee. Halo is amaizng and Halo 2 is even better. I play my sports games on it.
GCN is the best for gaming. Gaming means like getting into the game, addicted to it, and playing it till there's nothing left to explore. SImply put: Nintendo knows how to make games. But they also know how to innovate better then anyone. I cannot wait for the New Zelda game opffially entitled The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Prince. It will have 70 hours of gameplay, link will transform into a warewolf, and the world will be HUGE! Metroid PRime 1 and 2 rocked my world as well.
PS2. It broke on me twice. It is my DVD player at this point. I got sick of the same games (MGS, GTA, Grand Tourismo). Right now I'm only keeping it for the new Final Fantasy. I love Squarenix.
Posted 18 May 2005 - 08:48 AM
PS2- Pros. Biggest selection of games. Slim design, doubles as a DVD player, familiar controllers (same as PS1)
Cons. Online play is pay per game and dial up. No internal memory. Durability issues. Only 2 controller ports. Slowest processor of the 3. worst graphics of the 3.
GC- Pros. Small design. 4 controller ports. A lot of first party games. Familiar name. 50$ cheaper
Cons. No online play. Weird controller (why is the a button so big?). speed and graphics are better then PS2 but less then xbox. No DVD compatibility. No internal memory. Smallest selection of games.
Xbox-Pros- Online high speed play. Best graphics. Fastest processor. Internal hard drive (for 70 bucks you can get it moded to play burned games and have 80 games installed into the hard drive). 4 controller ports. A lot of companies switching to xbox over PS2. Custom soundtracks in games (great feature in 2k5)
Cons- huge and heavy. DVD compatibility is 35 dollars extra. Not as many games for it as the PS2.
That's pretty much the rundown of the systems.

That is, of course, a blatant lie. Nintendo's games aren't market towards kids, they just aren't filled with sex, violence, or other adult themes. I wouldn't expect a lot of Nintendo's "clean" (as opposed to kiddy) to be really appreciated by anyone under the age of sixteen.
To sum it up, is what Nintendo putting out now any different than what they did in the eighties or early nineties? The answer is no. Other companies have gone out of their way to develop "adult themed" games (GTA, Conker, etc), which may have changed the general perception of what an "adult" game is and what a "children's" game is. But when I think of a game designed with players under the age of 10, I think of something like Luigi's Mansion (which is Nintendo). That is a game that is actually made with a child's abilities in mind.
As fas as Halo is concerned, yeah it isn't anythign breath takingly revolutionary (although the first game's AI is superior to everything before it and a lot after it). But I'm pretty tired of games that introduce some amazing new feature but still aren't any good because the development team spent all their time working on that one feature (see Fable). Halo is like Chess, Checkers, or that brillant piece of art called Tetris. It is a simple game that offers tons of depth and takes a long time to master. It is nothing but strengths. Halo doesn't have glitches, useless weapons, or aimless walks down a long corridor with nothing in it. Halo is a almost perfectly crafted game that has been fine tuned to the poitn that there is almost nothing there that lacks anything. I personally think both Halos are among the top twenty games of all time, maybe even top ten.
Fianlly, reports have been coming out since XBox first came out that comapnies were switching over to XBox because it is easier to develop games for, but Nintendo is always going to have the very best gaems and PS continues to put out a much larger volume than the XBox.

Tell that to all the magazines that have released statements about how much easier it was to develop for the XBox because it had more straightforward hardware and was more selfcontained.
Posted 18 May 2005 - 11:49 AM
pay attention to what i post and you'll realize i did address your issue
i basically said...
that all three of the systems will have only a small margin between one another for graphics performance (xbox 360 may be first im sure it wont be all that noticeable)
and all three systems will have online gameplay
what will make the xbox 360/PS3/Nintendo Revolution better?

THe point I made about Volume is this:
reports have been coming out for a long time (about two years, as they were coming out when I stopped getting EGM, and that was about that long ago) about how developers were switching to XBox, but Sony still is getting more games for their system. If so many developers were claiming they were planning on switching, why is it that the XBox still isn't getting as many games as PS? The answer (and Jets0n posted an article that addressed this in the other video game thread) is that companies still don't trust MS enough to make a hardline switch. Until these reports start getting substantiated by actual output, using it as an reason SBox is better is illogical.

Also I said they paid so it would be wayyy better. They wouldn't up all that money for a slightly better graphics. Microsoft dumped over a billion alone in xbox live so far so there willing to spend way more then sony is on the new systems. Bill gates isn't cheap. Sony is. That's why the PS2 was so similar to the PS1.
Posted 18 May 2005 - 01:19 PM
1) better games is an opinion only. No fact behind it. Its just a preference.
2) Xbox 360 and PS3 can't be debated util they are both officially released. Period.
3) Xbox is a way better system then the PS2
4) Controllers once again are opinion but the xbox controllers have the most functionality because they have the most precise joystick and 2 way more pressure sensitive triggers then GC and PS2
5) All we know is what is reported. Were not really there so honestly its all second hand info and speculation. Nothing solid. Those writers are just like us and basically write their opinion. Its like the power rankings everyone will have them different. I doubt 2 people would make the exact same for all 32 teams

Xbox or PS2?
Posted 18 May 2005 - 07:46 PM
(having the deciding factors being graphics game quality and such)
and since im the owner of this glorious topic
lets steer it in this direction
What makes a game a "good game?" (don't worry we'll get to graphics soon enough)
just to get this up in the air: i took a class that is based on that specific question more or less, (what makes a game sell?) so keep the bullshit to a minimum, or i will slice your points down fairly effeciently. disclaimer now aside...
What makes a game a "good game?"
Posted 19 May 2005 - 08:23 AM
Posted 19 May 2005 - 02:51 PM
i agree
now how about some opinions
i know it's a hard one to pin down but give it a shot everyone
Posted 19 May 2005 - 03:57 PM
Also what makes a good game is opinion but in my opinion its just flat out something fun to play. Something that takes skill in both physical and mental ability as well as good enough of a challenge but not unbeatable.

Interesting opinion! What are you opinions of indoor humidity control? Something like setting aside a temp controlled room with a fair amount of humidity, added via a humidifier or bowls of water? I think the location of the storage is not that important, if the conditions are controlled. You can make an artificially dry/hot/cold/humid environment as you please, if you just set up the right conditions.
Well that's what I'm hoping will have at least some success. But I also try to by 8-12 yr old cakes that have already been through traditional storage.

In recent years, sports physiologists have started to realize that your recovery is just as important as your exercise. And while it's difficult to keep track of complex nutritional plans and training schedules, CEP's Recovery+ Pro Tights have made accelerated recovery as easy as putting on a pair of pants.
Putting the 'recovery' into the Recovery+ Tights, CEP gave these tights highly compressive qualities. Now, you hear the term 'compression' thrown out there often. However, its true meaning, especially for recovery applications, is typically shrouded in ubiquity. So, forget what you've heard about lactic acid suppression, and enter into the world of enhanced blood circulation. Without getting too scientific, CEP designed the Recovery+ tights to have different strengths of medi-grade compression in accordance to a position's distance from the heart. This is also known as graduated compression. So, the further from the heart, the stronger the fabric compression, and the closer to the heart, the lower the compression. Basically, this design places a pressure on the veins and arteries that forces the circulatory system to work faster. Accordingly, your muscles receive more oxygen, and thus muscle fatigue is thoroughly reduced.
Not surprisingly, while the aforementioned attributes would be enough for most to call it a day, CEP was just getting started. For the actual fit of the Recovery+ tights, CEP approached the cut with an anatomic, multi-paneled, and contoured designed. This means that the panels are meant to support specific muscle groups, while the shape perfectly conforms to the body. In fact, CEP claims that these tights have been proven to accelerate recovery of injuries ranging from pulled hamstrings, injured quads, and IT band issues.
And while, yes, the tights feel quite tight at first, you'll quickly notice that they don't inhibit movement at all. This is due to the selective placement of two fabrics with different deniers and compositions. Additionally, the legs feature a seamless construction, while the few seams that actually do exist have been designed to lay flat.
To use the tights, CEP recommends wearing them for at least three to four hours after your activity. And given their next-to-skin fit, it's easy to wear them under your pants for long drives or on the plane.
The CEP Recovery+ Pro Tights are available in the color Black and in the sizes II, III, and IV. Please note that these tights are intended to fit tightly. However, they are true to size, so don't be afraid of the overall tightness when you pull them out of the bag.

Although entrepreneurship is crucial to a capitalist economy, little information is available about U.S. businesses in their first years of operation. As part of an effort to gather more data on new businesses in the United States, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation sponsored the Kauffman Firm Survey (KFS), a panel study of businesses founded in 2004 and tracked over their first years of operation. The KFS collects data about the nature of new business formation; the characteristics of the strategy, offerings, and employment patterns; the nature of the financial and organizational arrangements of these businesses; and the characteristics of those who own and operate them. With the completion of the Fifth Follow-Up Survey, the KFS has collected this information from the panel of diverse businesses over six years, providing a unique look at business dynamics over this formative period.

Each year, Budget Travel scouts out undiscovered hotels in popular destinations from Italy to California wine country. Here, we pull the best of our picks from around the world, all for less than $200 a night. Featured here is the Albergo California on the Amalfi Coast.
Seclusion isn't easy to come by in the Jamaican party town of Negril, with its sprawling resorts and thumping dance beats, but that's exactly what Rockhouse delivers, primarily to hip couples and families hoping to avoid anything close to a spring break experience.
Standard rooms at Rockhouse come with garden views ($125), all with minibars, safes, A/C, and mosquito netting around four-poster beds. Guests can chill out at the 60-foot horizon pool, take yoga classes, or stroll along the property's serpentine paths.
Amor de Mar's sprawling front lawn gently slopes toward a rocky point, where there's a tide pool big enough to swim in. Thrill seekers will be happy to know that Amor de Mar is close to the famed Montezuma Waterfall Canopy Tour, a zip line that whizzes through treetops and down over waterfalls.
This Costa Rican gem, Amor de Mar, is located just a five-minute walk from the beach. The 11-room resort features dark-wood paneling and is decorated sparely, so as not to distract from the views of the tropical landscape (best from the second-floor porch).
For people who harbor fantasies of running away and starting their own winery, California's Landmark Inn has the answer: two guest rooms right in the middle of a working vineyard, where, from your front door, you can watch the grapes growing and being harvested.
In the town of Penzance in Cornwall, England, you'll find Mount Haven Hotel. The property is perfectly situated to overlook the island of St. Michael's Mount and the surrounding ocean, and most of the 18 rooms benefit from this view.
The rooms at Mount Haven Hotel have a distinctly Asian feel with silk bedspreads and throw pillows covered in embroidered fabrics from India.
The Riviera Maya is a favorite getaway of divers and sand-seekers, and at the Posada Que Onda resort in the town of Akumal you can do both—affordably. Large rooms have cool, white-tiled floors and are adorned with local art and artifacts. It's a 10-minute walk from the beach, but it's just 50 yards from excellent swimming in Yalku lagoon.
Posada Que Onda is well-equipped for kids: Half of the hotel's pool, for instance, has a built-in shelf that children can play on and the hotel's restaurant serves kid-friendly, homemade pastas. Guests can borrow the hotel's snorkel equipment and bikes at no charge.
The Sicilian hotel, Tenuta di Roccadia, is an agritourism paradise where guests can ride horses and hike trails. Arranged in long buildings draped in flowering vines, the 20 guest rooms are large, with sturdy wooden furnishings and wrought-iron bed frames.
Roccadia's olive and citrus groves, almond trees, and sheep provide most of the ingredients for the preserves, liqueurs, honeys, cheeses, and whatever else smells so good in the kitchen. Four-course dinners ($28) begin promptly at 8 p.m. in the dining room.
Go up—past the crowds, past the noise—to the tiny cliff-top village of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Here, you'll find the intimate Les Deux Freres Hotel, in a 19th-century stone building that was once a school.
The Fundana Villas, in the Greek Ioninan Islands, were born when a local man, Spyros Spathas, decided to convert his farm's stables and outbuildings into 12 guest bungalows. A guide for the Greek National Tourism Organization for more than 35 years, Spathas leads weekly botanical walks through the area.

But I'm reading some places that actually carrying a small balance on each is actually more beneficial to your scores. What Sayeth the financial wizards of the OT?
Otherwise, only way to improve is time and use. Staying in good standing on loans, not requesting a bunch of credit, and keeping debt/credit ratio in check.
But I'm reading some places that actually carrying a small balance on each is actually more beneficial to your scores
quote:You forgot:
7. When applying for loans, if asking at multiple locations for the best rates, make sure you do them all within a short time span (a week), or else all the hard pulls on your credit history will start knocking your score down.
true..... to the tune of what? 5 points a inquiry if not done in the small window of time?
it is best to keep a zero balance on all revolving accounts except one. On that one, you should keep a balance of between 1 and 9% of the limit.
Keep in mind that so long as you pay the balance in full each month you are still reported as having a balance as of the end of the statement period. There is no need to pay interest
So with a card that has a 500 limit and no balance on it now. Will it hurt or help to pay say my electic bill (180.00) each month and then pay that off?

Snow blanketed most of Great Britain in late January 2013, stretching from London to the northern tip of Scotland. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image on January 26, 2013. Only some coastal areas and the southwestern part of the island were free of snow when MODIS took this picture. Skies had mostly cleared by the time MODIS acquired the image, but some clouds lingered in the west, casting shadows onto the snowy surface below.
On January 25, The Telegraph reported that the death toll from the storm was in the double digits, some of the deaths resulting from hazardous driving conditions. As of that date, more snowfall was expected, including near-blizzard conditions in parts of Scotland. Forecasters called for rain to follow the snow, with as much as 40 millimeters (1.6 inches) of rain in western Britain.

Holistic Medicine
updated: Jan 26, 2013, 3:00 PM
By Kelsey Abkin
"The greatest wealth is health" -Virgil
This morning I walked into the kitchen to see the usual pile of brightly colored, assorted pills on the
counter. Behind them were about 10 bottles of vitamin C, "Quercetin", fish oil, etc. And next to them a
cup filled with water. They were for me, all 10 to be taken at breakfast and 10 more at dinner.
See, my mom is one of those people who believes in "holistic" medicine and, for the most part, I am too.
It makes perfect sense why health seems to be everyone's primary concern; without it we have nothing.
But what continues to surprise me is the length at which people go to be "healthy", overdoing it with
antibiotics, pain meds, and whatever else gets rid of the symptoms. I never thought this to mean much
until the other day when I went into the doctor only to discover that the strain of bacteria I had was now
resistant to the antibiotic prescribed.
Now that's enough to make one stop and wonder what we are doing to our bodies. It's hard to imagine
that we understand how they work as well as we think. Article after article, medical breakthrough after
breakthrough, although fascinating, still does not fully acknowledge the complexity of humans. I mean
how are we supposed to apprehend the interactions of 100 trillion cells?
However, the scariest part of this all is that the solution of a "natural" approach toward healing is not
always an option. You cannot ask some in writhing pain to take some herbs or allow an infection to
escalate out of control. The way I see it, ahead is a constant struggle between holistic vs. western
medicine. While right now, western is taking a whopping lead, soon this could not be the case. People
are beginning to see that we shouldn't wait for symptoms to appear then brush those away, but instead
should address the underlying problem.
