Oilers sign Minard
Edmonton Oilers seem to be following through on a promise to their AHL team (Springfield) as the signing of quality AHL players got underway this weekend.
Chris Minard is a veteran of 35 NHL games (20 last season with the Pens) and 213 in the AHL. He scored 34 goals in the minors last year and has totals of 25 and 32 in previous AHL seasons.
Minard isn't likely to make a dent at the NHL level in 09-10, but that could change with a strong training camp, injuries and other factors. He's described as a determined player with offensive ability, with foot speed being the negative.
His contract (nhlpa) is $550,000 and although there's no confirmation available that it's a two-way deal that would be the smart bet.

Ask almost anyone in Michiana about Tim Brown and they'll probably tell you about his glory days at Notre Dame when he won the Heisman Trophy.
However, there are plenty of kids in the area now who know Brown more for his work off the field.
"Five Star is a program that's helped a lot of other people, especially me," said Five Star Life Student Jacob Hasbrook.
Riley Freshman Jacob Hasbrook says when he joined his school's Five Star Life Program back in sixth grade he was skeptical. Now three years later he says he's turned into a way more confident guy and he's seen his friends in the program become better people too.
"I try to help people the best I can," said Hasbrook. "I don't lie, I don't make fun of people, all that bullying stuff. I truly do what I can to make everyone's life happier."
Jacob isn't the only kid who's climbed to new heights in the program. Over 2000 kids from all walks of life in Michiana were a part of the program this past school year. 78 percent of the group raised or maintained a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Five Star Life COO Seth Maust says the key to the program's success is to reach kids before they get to high school.
"If you can get to them in middle school before they're so far behind or so checked out of school you can make a huge preventive difference," said Maust.
The program takes place after school at Junior High School's all over Michiana. Each week the kids learn new lessons based around the five star principles: courage, respect, integrity, sacrifice, and responsibility.
"They'll teach us a core value and then they'll give us a challenge and we turn it into our coaches," said Five Star Life Student Peyton Tessley. "Throughout it we have fun."
Maust says the program keeps getting bigger and bigger. Once he got Notre Dame Heisman Winner Tim Brown on board the charity took off. Brown says he's happy with the growth so far, but he says this is just the beginning.
"Michiana is great. I love what we're doing here," said Brown. "But I'm looking forward to coming down to Texas and hopefully around the country as we move on."
There are over 400 Michiana students on the waiting list to get into the program. Five Star Life is trying to recruit more volunteers to assist those kids. Monday, they got some nice donations through a golf outing at Morris Park Country Club in South Bend.
Brown and fellow Heisman Winner Tony Dorsett were there to help the program raise money. Next year Brown hopes to bring more of his football friends along to help a program he believes molds young people into future leaders.
"I tell people I became a man [in South Bend]," said Brown. "It all started for me up here, so to be able to come back in this capacity is something that makes me feel good."
Dorsett says when Brown asked him to tag-a-long it was an easy choice.
"Five Star is touching young people's lives and I have a very soft heart when it comes to helping out tomorrow's leaders," said Dorsett.
Those who are interested in donating to Five Star Life or becoming a volunteer can check out http://www.FiveStarLife.org. A list of participating middle schools can also be found on the website.
Brown says he's also getting excited for this coming Notre Dame season.
"You know I'm expecting these guys to come out and play great football this year. Obviously losing a guy like Everett Golson is a big set back, but I think Tommy Rees is a guy who's played and played at a very high level. He's not a young kid, so he should be able to come in and do what he's capable of doing," said Brown. "Defensively I hear we're going to be more athletic and so I'm looking forward to these guys coming out and playing great football. There's no excuses at this point, so I'm looking forward to watching what they do."

The Toronto Argonauts appear destined to lose Zach Collaros this winter; not exactly breaking news.
Filling in for the injured Ricky Ray this year, the 25-year-old proved he's deserving of a starting gig somewhere in the league after throwing for 2,316 yards with 14 touchdowns to six interceptions and a 66 percent completion rate. Not to be left out, his penchant for dramatic come-from-behind wins.
A starting gig isn't going to happen in Toronto with the aforementioned Ray, who had a pretty outstanding season himself, still firmly entrenched behind centre with the Double Blue.
Whether it happens in the Expansion Draft in mid-December or a couple months later in free agency, Collaros is likely to leave Toronto for a starting opportunity in 2014.
But can the Argos be proactive and get something for their promising backup QB?
The Redblacks are likely leery of selecting a player in the expansion draft who could just leave two months later as a free agent, but if they are confident they can reach a deal with Collaros, selecting him would give them a two-month head start in negotiations over other QB-needy teams.
Conversely, if one of those QB-needy teams is convinced Ottawa will take a chance on Collaros and hammer out a deal, they may want to jump the gun and acquire the two-year CFLer to give themselves first crack in contract negotiations.
The Argos of course would get the most value for Collaros if they signed him to an extension first before offering him up to the highest bidder. That is of course making the perhaps foolish assumption Collaros would sign an extension with Toronto, effectively losing his choice of potential suitors.
The Rouge asks: Can the Argonauts get something for Zach Collaros before losing him for nothing?

About a month ago I found a little mass on my right leg right next to my girlie bits. I thought maybe it was an ingrown hair. It was small. Harmless. And right Down There where I'm never going to see it, and let's face it, probably nobody else would, either.
A few weeks ago it had grown and I thought maybe it was a boil? Or a zit? Or something very very unattractive down there between my right leg and my girlie bits.

Probably one of the best places I have stayed - Staff are super friendly and helpful. Location is good for Hollywood and Beverley Hills, Santa Monica is about a 30min drive Near the Beverley centre so shopping is close and plenty of local restaurants to choose from
From the moment we arrived the great service by the Valet Parking. Morgan and Daniel on reception were so polite and helpful. The smell of the hotel was incredible. we didn't actually want to leave the hotel to go anywhere it was so nice. Also the concierge recommended and booked us a lovely restaurant near by
Absolutely nothing, only that we had to leave
Staff Room Location Gym
staff, facilities, service is amazing, rooms are amazing and full of everything u need, room services are great and safe.
nothing i did not like about it.
Rooms were on the smaller side but very comfortable. Breakfast was great! Staff were helpful. Free wifi. Good location.
No shuttle services to main shopping areas in Beverly Hills We booked for 3 sharing but had to continuously request additional cups, slippers, etc. Tea/Coffee station was inadequate. Wifi connection was poor.
comfort of room location
parking fee
Friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to Farmers Market and shops. Good room size
Can't think of anything that We didn't like.
The location was good but you need a car in la anyway
The view wasn't great
The restaurant was fabulous! The entire staff, from valet, to front desk, to housekeeping to servers in restaurant (especially Roman) were superb!! Very conveniently located.
Pool - Bar - the staff- young customers
Valley price 37USD / day. outrageous
Quality all round. Staff very helpful and always friendly. Taxi rank across the road so easy to get.
A bit far for easy walking to main areas of interest but that was a minor issue as LA isn't easy to get around without a car anyway.
I'm using booking.com only . But the Sofitel give me the last room near to the staircase Make me unhappy . I felt very unsecured. And the view is lousy view .
Very nice rooms and furniture... free Wifi in the rooms...not too spacious.
The location of the hotel is bad....You have the Beverly Shopping center in front of u but nothing else...not good for tourists... you can't find restaurants around the hotel's neighbourhood. In my opinion it is better and more fun to stay in Ssnta Monica which is more lively and fun.
The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was very good
The room was very small and we did not feel $350 value. Guest parking fee highly outrageous! The lobby and entrance was very loud and crowded every evening and night. We had to squeeze through swarms partying people to go to our room.this were not!! Hotel guest !!! We never got to enjoy the pool even once due to heavy and loud parties ,no chairs left and here as well none of the pepole in the pool were hotel guest !!! We feel VERY strongly that we didn't get the quality and our money worth !!!! Very disappointed
the location of the hotel, the friendliness of the staff. We had the hills view and it was really nice. The valet parking charges you $35/day but you can take the car as many times as you wish.
nothing in particular
From the moment we arrived (at midnight) we were happy! The staff made us feel welcome and nothing at any time during our stay was a problem. The hotel was in a terrific place to catch a bus around the city and see the sights-would recommend this hotel to everyone!
The valet staff were top class, very helpful, friendly. I appreciate the extras in the bathroom like slippers, sawing kit which most other hotels don't provide these days
The hotel is old, need renovating & updating
Staff Location Service Valet parking Valeting staff
Mattress Room size
Hotel is very luxury
Location is not as Good as I thought. Always need a car ti reach different LA locations
Maggie on the disk she was very nice and helpful
It's all good
Location and the feeling of luxury. Food was excellent. Loved the scent of the lobby
Intially we were given a room with patio which was very very small for even one person. Then we were moved to standard size room.
Everything was really great! Staff is super friendly! Amazing! Thank you i had a lovely stay!
The shape of the rooms, full of weird angular spaces. This makes it tiring to look at and wastes a lot of space.

5 Breakout Trades to Buy This Week
Bank of New York Mellon
You don't have to be an expert technical analyst to figure out what's going on in shares of Bank of New York Mellon (BK) -- the $35 billion financial services firm is in a textbook uptrend. That's about as simple as a technical pattern gets...
BNY Mellon has had its price action bounded by trendline support to the downside, bouncing higher each of the last seven times it's been tested. That uptrending channel provides a high-probability range for price action on the way up -- and while you want to be a buyer in an uptrend, the ideal time to buy comes on a bounce off of support.
Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: it's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). If you decide to buy BK on today's bounce, keep a protective stop on the other side of the trendline.

Russell Simmons Slams NRA's New African American Spokesman
March 11, 2013 | Filed Under 2nd Amendment, Constitution, Democrats/Leftists, Entertainment, Ethics, Government, Guns, Liberals, Music, NRA, Progressives, Race, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
There is a new face on the pro-gun circuit. Mr. Colion Noir, a young African American who is conservative and pro-gun, is the National Rifle Association's newest spokesman but apparently this has proven too much for rap and entertainment mogul Russell Simmons.
After seeing the NRA's intro video of Noir's upcoming NRA News show, Simmons took to Twitter to tell the gun group, "Dear @NRA, we don't trust you. Sincerely, Black America."
Simmons then wrote a longer attack at Globalgrind.com, saying that "black people ain't got no time" for the NRA.
Music entrepreneur Simmons criticizes the NRA's hiring of African American Noir and says it is "deeply troubling" that the NRA is encouraging the black community "to pick up guns again and start poppin'."
Simmons went on to say, "With smokescreens and a barrage of bullets, the NRA is intentionally playing into the fears of a very few people. Very, very few."
Simmons concludes his post saying,
Our community is not interested in a corporate sponsored gun group telling us what to do, when their real mission is to make more money for the corporations that line their dirty pockets with rolls of cash and silver bullets. We're much smarter than that and certainly can see through their motives. Until they show a real interest in solving the violence problem in our community, they can keep their Yankee hat-wearing spokesman and their African-American "campaigns" for themselves. In the words of another internet star, "ain't nobody got time for that."
Describing himself as an "urban gun enthusiast," Noir has been making Youtube videos talking about guns and the Second Amendment for some time, now, but at last the National Rifle Association has taken notice and is bringing Noir on NRA News.
Noir has attracted more than 7 million views on his Youtube channel, so his eventual association with the NRA seems a natural fit. The young man will be doing videos for the NRA as well as traveling the country to talk about the U.S. Constitution and gun rights issues.

15 Things You Didn't Know About Office Space31
By Jason Horton
You can't throw a rock these days without hitting someone who has had some sort of office job. Get them talking and they're bound to have a horror story or two to share. From "9 to 5" to "The Office," our biggest office nightmares have been shared on small and big screens for everyone to laugh at. Even KoldCast TV's own series Murder Squad shows us that even in the exciting world of homicide investigations, someone has to take care of the office paperwork. Well, in 1999, Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge took all of those cubicle-laden woes and spun a feature film yarn of awesomeness. That yarn was Office Space. Although the film flopped at the box office, the VHS and DVD sales were spectacular – giving the film cult-like status. There are things you know about the film Office Space, but here are 15 things that you likely didn't know. If we missed any juicy trivia nuggets, let us know by Commenting below.
Murder Squad, Episode 1: Field Trip
1. Initech is real.
At least 5 different companies named Initech have been founded since the film's release. Wow, really? Is this brilliant marketing or laziness? After those horror stories, who would work there? Who am I kidding, I would work there. I need a job!
2. The original Office Space was a series called "Milton."
The film was based on a series of animated shorts by Judge titled "Milton." Fox Studios wanted the film to be based solely on the "Milton" character, but Judge wanted to have an ensemble cast. Translation: Cast Jennifer Aniston from "Friends"
3. Mike Judge's inspiration was born in an office while filing TPS reports.
We have to thank a boring desk job for giving us Office Space! While at work filing real TPS reports, Judge met a lonely co-worker who would rant about his bosses and how they constantly moved his desk. With this hilarious inspiration, Judge would go home and animate what would become "Milton."
4. Chotchkie's is actually "Aliigator Grille" in Austin, TX.
The set for Chotchkie's, meant to look like a "TGI Fridays," is actually the "Alligator Grille" in Austin, Texas. You can put lipstick on a pig, but the pig is still an obnoxious restaurant.
5. Judge turned down the chance to do a sequel.
Mike Judge was offered the chance to make a sequel called "Office Space 2: Still Renting." (Apparently renting an apartment is considered a failure in the movies.) Unfortunately, Judge was so displeased with his experience on the first movie that he chose not to revisit it and turned it down.
6. Office Space gave birth to the red Swingline stapler.
The red Swingline stapler Milton used didn't exist so the prop department had one specially made for the film. Three years after the release of the movie, requests for the stapler were so overwhelming that Swingline put the Rio Red 747 Business Stapler into production. Want one?
7. Judge has fun crossing references with Office Space and Beavis and Butthead.
In the film, Peter Gibbons lives in the "Morningwood Apartments," a frequent theme and reference to Mike Judge's "Beavis & Butthead." Morning-wood, get it? No? Ok.
8. Office Space is purposefully in Anywhere, USA.
Mike Judge wanted the story to be able to take place anywhere, so the state is never mentioned. In fact, the license plates on the cars are stateless. Yes, you've been duped into thinking it was New York City.
9. Real gangsters sang "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta."
Office Space wouldn't be as memorable without the ghetto fabulous Geto Boys and their hit song, "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta." And what does it feel like to be one? Ask Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys. One night, while depressed, drunk and suicidal, he went to his girlfriend's house and asked her to shoot him. She refused, and he threatened to harm their baby. After a struggle, the gun went off, piercing his eye, leaving a bullet stuck inside his head. He survived the accident, but lost his eye. According to his MySpace page, he is now a born-again Christian.
10. Lumburgh got promoted!
Gary Cole, the actor that portrayed the dickish and somewhat incompetent Initech Vice President Bill Lumburgh, later went on to portray Bob Russell, the incompetent and somewhat dickish Vice President of the United States on the hit television series "The West Wing." No further proof is needed to show that even in the make-believe world of Hollywood, assholes in middle management not only manage to survive, they end up getting promoted.
11. Office Space found its audience outside of the movie theater.
Long after the movie's release in 1999, Comedy Central premiered the movie on August 5, 2001 for 1.4 million viewers. By 2003, the channel had broadcast the film another 35 times. By then, the film had sold 2.6 million copies on VHS and DVD. (90% of those VHS tapes now occupy garage sales everywhere.)
12. Entertainment Weekly could not decide if it loved or hated the film.
Entertainment Weekly gave Office Space a C-rating but named it one of the "The 100 best films from 1983 to 2008." Critics.
13. Judge was not happy with his marketing. "Oh well," said the Studio.
Judge reportedly did not like the poster, the trailers, and the ending of the film. Studio head Tom Rothman apologized and told Mike that the movie was just really hard to market.
14. Mike Judge was in the movie.
Mike Judge played Stan, the manager at Chotchkie's, credited as William King.
15. Superman and Michael Bolton have something in common.
According to the character Michael Bolton, the computer virus that was used was the same as the one used in Superman III. Superman IV used another kind of virus, the movie itself.

Serious and silly: Stock market predictions for 2013
Apple, Netflix, the Yankees: Rocco Pendola pulls out all the stops for his prognostications for the new year.
By Rocco Pendola
I'm not messing around this year.
You'll see a ton of these 2013 prediction articles. Like me, you'll read every one. Like me, you'll hate every one. In fact, I hate myself for even writing this.
Even though I want my 2013 prediction article to stand out, I will use the exact same format everybody else uses: Alternate between funny, serious and outlandish predictions, designed to confuse the reader so that, come the end of 2013, when you reference this list, I can pass off false predictions as parody and claim logic for the crazy one or two that hit.
Netflix (NFLX): Reed Hastings certainly does not learn from history.
Incredibly, the smoke and mirrors are back at Netflix, baby! I'm sort of happy. The return of an overconfident and delusional Hastings makes my job a heck of a lot more fun.
I want a hit or two of the stuff Netflix imports from Santa Cruz and passes off to people who uncritically believe the hype.
Watch the Netflix PR machine spin: Oscar award-winning producer thinks Netflix is the greatest investment in the world (see story on TheStreet)! And Netflix vows not to raise prices although it got fleeced by Disney (DIS) (see story on The Street).
I know I predicted this in 2011 for 2012 and it hasn't happened yet, but it will happen this year. In fact, it pretty much has to: Netflix will raise cash ... again. There will be no choice, as I explain in that story.
Expect Hastings to sell the company's DVD division and/or go to Wall Street for cash as he did at the end of 2011. I'll give you 10-1 odds on a flip-flop and higher prices for Netflix subs. Long shots -- Netflix introduces new pricing schemes outside of the standard all-you-can-eat plan or opens its platform up to advertisers.
2013 Media-Related Prediction:
Business Insider's Henry Blodget fakes own death and hides out at Mark Cuban's house while his staff covers the "news" with headlines such as: You Won't Believe the Story of How Henry Blodget Was Murdered by SEC Informants in Cold Blood.
Intel (INTC) and Facebook (FB): Intel breaches $15. Facebook runs past $50.
Two completely different businesses, yes, but incredibly instructive comparison cases. You have one firm living in denial and another more than willing to admit a mobile miss and not only move on, but completely transform the model in the process.
2013 Media-Related Prediction:
All Things D's Kara Swisher uncovers the truth behind the Blodget story. Minutes after Swisher breaks the news, Business Insider syndicates the story with the title: Check Out How This Tech Reporter Uncovered This Shocking Cover-Up.
Madison Square Garden (MSG): I expect consolidation in the media space in 2013 and more than a few partnerships as big media looks to maintain its hold on key programming, particularly sports.
If MSG doesn't get taken out by a big player, I will be shocked.
I put my money on Rupert Murdoch's News Corp (NWSA) taking out MSG (that's the serious part) and moving to 100% control of the YES network as it sets the stage for a 2014-2015 purchase of the New York Baseball Yankees!
Apple (AAPL): Big-time AAPL bull and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster vows to appear on CNBC every day, including holidays in 2013, answering every question from Carl Quintanilla with the prediction that the release of Apple TV is imminent. Sometime in mid-March, Quintanilla falls asleep during a Munster interview and later reveals that Jim Cramer put him up to doing a Mike Francesa impersonation on-the-air.
That's all I got. Yes!
But, in all seriousness, no matter what you believe in, no matter what or how you celebrate, have a safe and happy holiday season and nothing but the best for 2013.

This article describes in a nutshell what I learned from the Refactoring Workshop with Lars Jankowfsky and Thorsten Rinne at the International PHP Conference 2009 Spring Edition in Berlin some weeks ago. The main focus was on refactoring and test-driven development which I always wanted to do but actually never did. I had already installed PHPUnit some years ago after attending a session with Sebastian Bergmann but knowing how to install and use PHPUnit does not necessarily mean that you know how refactoring works and what you need to focus on.
So it has actually been very helpful for me to attend that workshop although I now know that continuous refactoring is essential. It doesn't make sense to refactor a project and then again refactor it a year later despite adding new features and fixing bugs during the whole year. You always have to refactor your code while developing. It is essential when beginning with refactoring not to start a large refactoring project that takes a year to complete because this is expensive and doesn't create any value for the end user, i.e. the visitor of your website or your customer. Instead you should allocate a specific amount of time, e.g. 20-30% to spend on refactoring your code.
I won't go into the complete details because that would be far more than I want to cover in this article. Also remember that I have not yet used unit testing so this article reflects just what I have learned yet.
Refactoring is better that rewriting your code because rewriting normally takes too long and is therefore too expensive. I personally love to rewrite but I know that it may take very long and if there is something more important – something that is directly related to revenue – I may stop rewriting and instead focus on the more important project. Just remember that starting a project from scratch once again may feel good but most of the time it takes much more time than you may have anticipated at the beginning.
I have learned that refactoring with methods like pair programming is very helpful especially if a senior developer is working together with a less experienced developer so that he can learn new methods as well and gets to know the code much better.
When Should I Refactor?
If a specific method has (too) many lines of code and you cannot understand within a short time what the purpose of that method is or if it has more than around five parameters in the constructor most of the time it's time for refactoring. Long methods can almost always be broken down into several smaller methods which also eases writing unit tests for the code.
Test-Driven Development
Test-driven development is the way to go and it always reappeared during the conference in many different sessions. You need to distinguish between unit tests and acceptance tests however. To test your layout and GUI (i.e. the view) you should use tools such as Selenium instead.
Tests should be regarded as part of the documentation because they actually help documenting your code.
So how to start? First of all never refactor the easy parts first, move the risks to the beginning. It's not helpful if you have created 100 tests which may have taken only 30 minutes to complete but the one single test that's missing requires 30 hours to create.
When refactoring always create a test for the existing code first then change the code so that you can be sure that you did not actually introduce a new bug during refactoring.
How To Create Testable Code
With test-driven development you first of all create the raw skeleton of the method you wish to create the test for (i.e. implement the feature) and then implement the first test which will of course fail because no code has yet been written in the method that has been tested.
By focusing on just getting the code (the single method) to work you are no longer tempted to abstract and will just focus on implementing the feature that is required. So no longer try to implement a feature that you may eventually some time in the future need to implement but in fact most of the time would never be used. Just implement what is required, what your test need to succeed.
You should never use global or superglobal variables in your methods because this doesn't make your code testable. So don't use $_GET, $_SESSION etc. in any of your methods at all and instead give these values as parameters.
You also need to implement one test per result type that the method returns, i.e. if it returns false in one case and true in another you need to create two tests for that method.
Useful Tools
There are several tools available that help you with test-driven development and refactoring:
- phpcpd which is a copy&paste detection tool
- phpcs – PHP CodeSniffer which will check if the code does not violate your coding guidelines
- a coding style plugin for Eclipse
- ZendStudio For Eclipse offers debugging, profiling and a good integration of the Zend Framework
Always test protected and private methods as well because if you only test public methods you are unlikely to immediately find the source of a failing test if a tested public method calls private or protected methods internally. If you need to write tests for protected methods you can use the unittools to create a proxy class.
Static methods make creating tests extremely difficult (may be possible using dependency injection) – maybe you do not have to use static methods as all?
You do not need to create tests for methods which only use some of PHP's built-in functions like filesystem functions that load a file if it exists because you want to test your own code, not PHP's code.
Quite often – e.g. if you are using a database or some other dynamic datasource – you need to make sure that you are really testing your PHP code and the test won't fail if the database server is down. You need to make sure that the underlying data structure is not dynamic. In that case you have to create fixtures and/or mock objects that simulate the dynamic structure (albeit static) in your tests.
You may also want to have a look at (PHP)YAML
Here is a short checklist I got to know at the workshop:
- use phpcs to find errors
- Fix all errors
- Find duplicates with phpcpd (copy/paste lines)
- Create tests for old code (w/ refactoring if needed to remove dependencies) (mock/fixtures)
- Refactor
I only scratched the surface in this article and I am very keen on beginning with test-driven development. I hope that I could share some insight into what I learned at the PHP conference regarding refactoring. For more in-depth information you should really attend one of the conferences – especially the workshops.
I am planning to share more information on setting up and using PHPUnit in one of the following articles on my blog so stay tuned.

WESTERLY, RI- It's the first anniversary of super storm Sandy. Pounding waves came crashing onto Misquamicut beaches, damaging waterfront businesses and homes.
As of today, the federal government has given Rhode Island $61 million in disaster relief.
The McMickle family is visiting the Andrea restaurant and hotel in Westerly for the first time since hurricane Sandy.
"It's all gone. It's amazing, it's all gone," said tourist, Bill McMickle.
To their surprise, the only original part still standing is the brick fireplace.
Many properties are still under construction. Unless you knew what it looked like before, it's hard to tell that 12 months ago, the area was covered with debris and sand.
Resident, Carol Fatone said, "We're not gonna complain. We're cleaned up and we're back to where we were. Hopefully this doesn't happen again."
One construction crew has been repairing sandy–damaged homes since the storm hit.
Robert Gingerlla said, "That's always a difficult thing to make money and be busy due to other people's misfortune. That's the sad part of my business."
Sandy has led to changes in coastal construction, some homes are now being raised at least a story to protect them from flooding. Despite the changes, tourists are still drawn to the area.

My son is 54" tall and weighs 75 lbs. What size 2014 Easton MAKO Senior League bat would you recommend? Is this an end loaded or more evenly distributed bat?
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 29" model in the 2014 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14MKB). The MAKO has a balanced swing weight.
My son used the 2014 Easton Mako (-10) bat this season. He will be 14 this year and he needs a (-5) bat. I looked at the 2015 Easton MAKO Torq, but I am not sold on the rotating handle. What brand and bat would you recommend that is balanced and has a similar extended large barrel?

(ABC NEWS) -- Martha Stewart returned to a New York courtroom Tuesday to testify in a legal spat between Macy's Inc. and J.C. Penney Co. over which retailer has rights to the domestic diva's product line.
Macy's sued Martha Stewart Living for breach of contract in Jan. 2012, saying an agreement to sell products at J.C. Penney in 2011 ran counter to Stewart's deal with Macy's in 2006.
Stewart, 71, took the stand in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. It's been eight years since she was convicted of lying to authorities about her sale of ImClone stock and served a prison term.
In a short, light brown skirt and matching vest with a cream colored blouse underneath Stewart answered questions about the Macy's, J.C. Penney dispute.
Stewart founded Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in 1997 and she is chairwoman of the public company. The company's stock (NYSE: MSO) fell 1.2 percent to $2.47 a share at 10:15 a.m. EST.
Asked by Ted Grossman, attorney for Macy's, whether she was comfortable on the witness stand, Stewart replied, "As comfortable as can be."
Macy's insists it has exclusive rights to Stewart's line of linens and other home items and is suing to block J.C. Penney from selling similar products.
Asked whether Stewart's company suggested to Macy's that it could or would sell goods in any competing department store Stewart answered, "There were categories that were non-exclusive to Macy's that we could sell in other department stores."
Stewart said she did business with lots of other stores.
"I don't know if you can consider Petsmart a department store for pets," she said. "Michaels is kind of a department store for crafts."
The prosecution repeatedly tried to tar Stewart as cut-throat businesswoman willing to let others assume the risk even as she raked in profits, a characterization that Stewart rejected.
"We take tremendous risk," she said. "Our first obligation is to our consumer."
The contract dispute at the core of the case was mentioned only occasionally in the initial proceedings, leading Stewart to remark, with some exasperation, "If we are getting into the contract maybe we should, you know, do that."
Macy's questions the legality of over 900 home product designs that Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia gave to J.C. Penney, saying they were exclusively for Macy's to sell.
"We thought, and I hope rightly so, that were allowed to do such a thing," said Stewart when asked about the designs.
Stewart's defense is that this was a misunderstanding rather than a calculated act, a critical distinction for the case, and for her brand.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Not only am I an alum of Dakota Montessori School, I also worked there while I was in high school, college, and grad school. It was an amazing experience. The programming that takes place in each environment allows children to grow and thrive. I've never seen anything quite like it. The teachers are the best early childhood educators in Fargo-Moorhead. They interact one-on-one with students in order to meet them at their developmental and academic levels. Through careful strategies, the teachers guide students to develop new skills and become independent learners. The administrators in this building genuinely care about staff, parents, and above all- the students. As an employee, I felt like a valuable member of the team. I would recommend this school to any parent who is looking for an enriching and nurturing environment for his or her child. It is simply the best.
Great School as far as classrooms go for kids, however there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes parents do not know about. Major issue being a lack of HR and a check and balance for the falsely charming Dictator of a directresses. They lead the school giving certain parents unfair privileges because she likes them or they are major donators, while others are not worked with in the slightest. they do nothing to resolve tension among staff and instead will wait until someone is so unhappy they leave, which causes high turn over. I would say that if it wasn't for the staffs love of children no one would work at this school under the two women in charge for longer than a month. Rarely is there enough staff to the point that children are shuffled to unfamiliar rooms to make ratio. The classrooms staff love the children and are all very caring which makes this school a great one for the children, whereas it is miserable for the staff because leadership is so lacking. Which it will remain this way because there is no check and balance. Anyone who speaks up among staff are either ignored or swiftly fired. Change people in charge of school and it would be the perfect place
I have 2 children, a 3 yr old and a 10 month old and my kids (especially my 3 YO) LOVES the school and LOVES her teachers. I can get her to do anything if I mention Ms. Amanda or Ms. Emy will be pleased. Her vocabulary has greatly improved, she does simple math (addition and subtraction), signs, is reading at kindergarten level....I am very pleased and I am very sad we are leaving town and have to leave Dakota montessori. This was the first school I was totally pleased with...so far.
This school is like non other. My daughter is in the infant program and is totally soaring. The infant program is by far the best Fargo-Moorhead has to offer. They independence the kids there have, it is truly a unique program.
Dakota Montessori is an amazing and very well-run school. True to Maria Montessori with great teachers and staff, and fantastic facilities.Our children have attended for 9 and 11 years respectively. Both are now in the elementary program which is truly exceptional.
I have two children in elementary, who have been in Montessori since 15 months. The education at DMS is second to none, as is evident in the state testing scores. I'm so impressed with how teachers inspire the children to excel and challenge themselves at all levels. Many student's reading skills test 'off the charts'. The teacher student ratios are better than anywhere else I've seen in town, ranging from 1:8 and 1:10 in the elementary; including lead teachers with masters degrees from accredited Montessori programs. They foster independence, time management and presentation skills, which aren't emphasized as much in traditional classrooms. I'm surprised to read the few negative comments from disgruntled parents below. While no school is a perfect fit for every child, the overwhelming sentiment I've heard from parents is extremely positive. DMS is run by a smart administrator with a great personality, who cares about each child.
Only concerned about money, didn't listen to parents, very sad. The director seems imbalanced.
I have 2 children at Dakota Montessori and I am amazed at the individual attention they get. They both look forward to going to school everyday and strive to do their best work. The teachers are wonderful and know how to motivate the kids. This is a direct result of the teachers knowing each child & each child's personality.
We have just moved to the area, and had our oldest son in a Montessori program before this one, and we have been soooo disappointed in the quality of teachers at this school. Every single one, act as if they dread going to work each day. I don't see the joy in their faces or actions. We are leaving the school, and don't plan to send our other younger children to this school.
I was at Dakota for 2 years, and I loved it. Its much better than public school, lemme tell you. I remember we'd go skating at Skateland once every month. The teachers are great, the kids are totally awesome, and its the principal is really nice and runs the school well. I suggest you send your kids here rather than sending them to a public school.
Dakota Montessori School offers K-6th grade, along with infant-preschool programs. The facility is state of the art and the programs, faculty and Montessori atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Our two children have experienced a top-notch education and we highly recommend this school to anyone in search of the very best.
I am a parent of three children who attended Dakota Montessori School. My family was terribly disappointed in the school. We felt that the school had so much potential had it not been for a lack of management, leadership, and most of all, good judgement in decisions that effect the school, students and its families. There are many stories that I would not publish online out of common decency, but we have witnessed teachers (and families) leaving because of poor management, philosophy, and most of all, moral and ehtical reasons. The sad thing is, on the outside and on the surface, the school appears to be one of the best in both facility and staff. Unfortunately it takes time to become privy to what actually happens behind the scenes. If you have a child here, keep a closer eye and look beneath the fake sincerity.
At Dakota Montessori, the directress (Principal) stands at the door each morning and greets each child by name. If some of the pre-school children are having a hard time separating from a parent on that day, a warm hug is at the ready. Although this school has the best facilities I've ever seen, (it's truly first rate!) that isn't why we've entrusted our childs education to Dakota Montessori. Instead, it's because of the warm, inviting and loving environment provided by that very directress and her amazingly talented and devoted staff. Dakota Montessori encourages parental participation with many volunteer opportunities, including the ability to influence policy or process at any one of several open board meetings--in case there is some chance that you didn't get the opportunity to speak to the very open, inviting and charming office of the directress.
My child has been part of the Dakota Montessori family since he was a newborn. He has grown up surrounded by loving teachers and staff who know and understand him. He has been treated with respect and has learned to treat others with respect. He has learned that there are no limits to what he can learn, rather than being held back with 'age-appropriate' lessons. In the elementary program, he has had the opportunity to learn and grow with the same teacher and the same classmates. His teacher can meet his needs, adjusting the environment as necessary to match his learning style. The children in the elementary program are working at an accelerated level and becoming well rounded future citizens of the world. As for the staff and leadership of the school, we have found them nothing bu supportive. They love our child and hold his best interest above all else.
My child has been a student of Dakota Montessori since 3-months old. Our child is now 6-years-old, and we are still experiencing problems with daily management. It may be a wonderful school, and I will be the first one to say my child has excelled in this environment, it is also the worst managed school that lacks the professionalism it needs for the level of care and education they are providing. There is no communication between parents and staff, as well as inner staff communication. The director and business office lacks professionalism, as well as a lack of policy and the enforcement of policies. They seem to fly by the seat of their pants, and I have seen family after family leave out of frustration. We are currently leaving because we no longer will put up with being treated poorly. The child does not come first in this school...business does.
Our experience is PK age 2-5. This is a wonderful school with excellent facilities and teachers who are supportive, respectful, and love working with kids. My child refuses to go home early - he enjoys his teachers and classmates too much.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) starring Rudolph Valentino
Introduced by acclaimed silent film historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow.
Featuring a print restored under the supervision of Kevin Brownlow and David Gill with a stereo musical score composed by Carl Davis.
With Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Alan Hale, Wallace Beery, Jean Hersholt and Josef Swickard. Produced and directed by Rex Ingram. Screenplay by June Mathis, based on the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez. Metro Pictures. 35mm. Silent. Black and white with color tints. 132 mins.
Struggling actor Rudolph Valentino became a star and the "Valentino mystique" was born in this epic romance directed by visual stylist Rex Ingram. Touted as a $1,000,000 production in 1921, the film was among the biggest box office hits and artistically lauded successes of the silent era. The original press book hailed it as "an epic tale of surging passion sweeping from the wide plains of the Argentine through the fascinating frivolities of pre-war Paris into the blazing turmoil of the German invasion."
Understandably a favorite of director David Lean, the film was shortened for re-release in 1926 to mark Valentino's death, and had been seen in that truncated form for decades. When Kevin Brownlow and his team undertook the restoration work in the early 1990s, they were able to return the film to its original length with its original color tints. Most importantly they were able to return the famed tango sequence to its smooth romantic splendor. The addition of a new orchestral score by composer Carl Davis brings the film and Valentino back to life with a proper big screen treatment.
Kevin Brownlow is widely regarded as the preeminent historian of the silent film era. His books include The Parade's Gone By; The War, the West, and the Wilderness; Hollywood, The Pioneers; Behind the Mask of Innocence; David Lean and Mary Pickford Rediscovered. His documentaries have included "Hollywood," "Unknown Chaplin," "Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow," "Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius," "D.W. Griffith: Father of Film," "Cecil B. DeMille: American Epic" and "Garbo." Most famous among his many silent film restoration projects is Abel Gance's 1927 epic "Napoleon."

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Dark ruby in color, this wine has aromas of black cherry, currant, plum and blackberry, which integrate with floral notes of lilac and rose petals. On the palate, our 2005 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon delivers great balance and flavors of black cherry with subtle hints of cedar, spice, chocolate and espresso. The combination of French and American oak barrels adds layers to the dark fruit flavors that lead to a long clean finish.
"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (a blend from various sites) is a soft, sexy combination of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. A big, sweet nose of Asian spices, smoky oak, and plenty of black and red fruits, are followed by a lush, round, generously constituted wine with medium to full body, decent acidity, and velvety tannins. Enjoy it over the next 8-10 years.
89 Points
The Wine Advocate
"9% Petit Verdot; 6% Merlot; 2% Cabernet Franc. A quick whiff of mint, a focused suggestion of black cherries, a hint of cocoa and a rounded, fruity impression of more Merlot than shows in the wine's cepage all lift this wine into the full commendation. Its supple palatefeel and polished tannins allow it to drink nicely now, and its firm underbelly will allow it to age for a few years into a smoother potion yet."

TWO RIVERS, WI (WTAQ) - City officials in Two Rivers say there are some potential redevelopment opportunities for Thermo Fisher's downtown wood plant.
Those include completely tearing the buildings down.
But company officials right now say there's still a long way to go.
The plant shut down last fall, leaving nearly 200 people out of work. Despite the loss, city officials say the property has potential.
The 1.2 million square foot complex has been a staple in Two Rivers for more than a century, but the quiet facilities' days could be numbered.
"It's been a huge part of the history and the economy of this community," City Manager Greg Buckley tells FOX 11. "It was a body blow to Two Rivers to lose this employer. By the same token, we think it's a phenomenal redevelopment site."
Buckley says the company is considering removing the buildings on the 12 acre property, opening it up for redevelopment.
"Just on the other side of this building, there is a new $14 million lift bridge being constructed over the river. This summer, there will be dredging, so all along the river front of this site, there's a viable, navigable channel, we thought those things together right next to the downtown, makes this a compelling redevelopment site, so it's not just going to be part of our past, we think it'll be part of our future," Buckley explained.
However, the company says nothing is set in stone.
The company's Director of Public Relations, Ron O'Brien, told FOX 11 in a statement: "No decision has been in made in regard to the former Hamilton property in Two Rivers. We are evaluating a number of options including the demolition of the existing buildings. Once a final decision is made, we will promptly inform the community of our plan."
The city and the company are scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss their options.
The city manager says if the buildings are removed, the property has either commercial or residential potential.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Deep, dark and dense, retaining bright purple hues. The nose is immediately Grange, revealing barrel ferment complexities soaked in dark berried fruits. Vibrant, youthful and lifted, a mix of tightly packed liquorice, freshly tanned leather and dark spices create a poised, controlled and distinctive wine.
"It is always a treat to taste Australia's most famous wine, Penfolds' Grange cuvee (the word Hermitage has been dropped because of legal issues). The 2001 Grange is one of the few vintages of this cuvee to be composed of 100% Shiraz (the others being 1951, 1952, 1963, 1999, and 2000). Aged 17 months in 100% American oak, and tipping the scales at 14.5% alcohol, the 2001 is undeniably one of the top examples of this wine. At this stage, it appears to eclipse the 1998 and 1996. Inky/blue/purple to the rim, with a stunning perfume of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate, graphite, and earth, it boasts good acidity, huge tannins, magnificent concentration, and a multilayered, textured mouthfeel. It is a big, but impeccably well-balanced Shiraz that should shed some of its structure and tannin over the next 4-5 years, and be at its best between 2010-2030+. Rating: 98+"
98 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Grange is often an explosion on release, and this '01 does not want for intensity. This vintage is unusual, as it's all from Barossa fruit; what's more unusual is that its subtlety and grace make it surprisingly approachable as a young wine. The power of old-vine fruit is there in the color, black and concentrated at the core, deep red at the edge. It's also there in the complex aromatics, layered in earthy tannins. Those beautiful tannins drive the wine, releasing a quiet blast of black fruit that evolves for over a minute as it lasts past each taste. The wine just doesn't let go, and is as mouthwatering as the sizzle on a steak. Grange will often thrive for 20 years from the vintage, the best vintages lasting longer."
96 Points
Wine & Spirits
"It is extraordinary how this wine has gained power, weight and complexity since first bottled; now majestic black fruits, licorice and chocolate/mocha notes run through the palate. Great tannins sustain and support the back palate and finish. Please move to screwcaps; this wine would live forever."
96 Points
Australian Wine Companion
"Inky violet with a bright rim. Explosive and utterly captivating on the nose, offering a range of aromas that encompasses red and darker berries, flowers, cigar box, minerals and sexy oak spices. Quite broad on the palate, and packing a real punch to its flavors of cassis, boysenberry, candied plum, bitter chocolate and fruitcake. Serious, harmonious tannins give plenty of structural support. This expands and grows even sweeter with aeration, finishing with outstanding persistence. Oak spices add sex appeal. A superb Grange. "
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Deep, rich and concentrated, this one has a gamy note that sneaks through the rich blackberry, plum and licorice flavors, hinting at coffee, dark chocolate and spice as the finish lingers beautifully. Grippy tannins keep it from taking off. Not as harmonious and complete as other vintages, but it's a solid Grange. Best after 2009. 2,000 cases imported."
93 Points
Wine Spectator
"Not great by Grange standards, but still a fabulous wine, the 2001 Grange boasts an intoxicating, heady bouquet of rich chocolate and coconut. It follows that up with deep, plummy fruit that's full-bodied and lush yet quite tannic, promising decades of ageability. Despite the dark chocolate and plum flavors, the wine is still fresh, with a long finish. Drink 2010–2025."
