- Poor managementCustomerDined on 9/19/2014We had to wait 30 minutes for our reserved (!!!) table. The manager in place was the worst I could think off - it's a shame - the employees are the best there.
- Too badOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/15/2014Restaurant is attractive but the food is very disappointing. Service is warm but neither knowledgeable nor competent. We felt like we had wasted a meal........
- A Wonderful FindSushiForTwoDined on 9/15/2014My wife and I love sushi and to celebrate our 15th anniversary during our visit to NYC, we chose to have dinner at Mira Sushi & Izakaya. We had a fantastic time, and the food was wonderful. For an appetizer, we had the Salmon Skin Crostini. For dinner we had the Rock Lobster Roll, the Hawaiian Roll, the Malibu Bay Roll, and an order of the Beef Bulgogi Tacos. The restaurant is off the beaten path for tourists, which suited us just fine. It has the vibe of a cozy neighborhood sushi bar. If I could go back every week, I would!Special Features:
- First NYC tripKadesbully088Dined on 9/10/2014First trip to NYC with my boyfriends mother. Opened my app and found this place. I am so happy I did! The food the wine the service was amazing! Such a nice experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good findMarkVIPDined on 9/9/2014Excellent food and cocktails; efficient and friendly service; clean if simple ambience---what more could you want from a loveley sushi restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nerdybirdy72Dined on 9/9/2014the food was great the dessert was to die for, chocolat mouse omg. service was perfect and the drinks where greatSpecial Features:
- Tasty, modern JapanesePerfectVIPDined on 8/29/2014This is a neighborhood place that I just discovered, which is especially great because I just returned from a trip to Tokyo and the food is spot on to the menus there. Try the skewers (hakitori), the sesame leaf appetizer. For the rolls, you must get the rock lobster. The sake list is good and has great variety. Spend more to get better quality sake. We paid $42 for 300ml and it was worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hit it out of the park!essieandmikeyVIPDined on 8/28/2014I was searching for a place with Spicy Edamame and this place had it. We loved the look and feel of this place from the moment we walked in. We sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour before dinner at the bar. The specials of the day were amazing from the Soft Shell crab to the salmon crostini which was perfection . We had a roll that was on the specials with toro and one the waitress recommended called Miso over you roll. Absolutely delicious. So many more things on the menu we want to try. We will be back soon. Thank you for the great service and food.Special Features:
- First time's a charm!shoshannaVIPDined on 8/26/2014My first time at this unassuming place, and what a delight. A friend and I went for lunch. The food was fabulous -- we mostly had rolls and a kind of sashimi tuna salad. We liked the idea of $2 extra for "sides," in our case spicy edamame and pickled daikon, both terrific. The sake, not very expensive, was milky and delicious. We will be back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/22/2014Love this place, a go to sushi + japanese food place.Special Features:
- Not worth the priceOpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 8/21/2014I've never been to a place where the hostess was unfriendly; until now. Upon entrance and exit I tried greeting her and rebuffed with complete silence. Sadly, she was a precursor to the food which was also without any personality. Not bad, just not great. The wait staff was good and the food arrived quickly but that's as good as it gets.
- Great sushiOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/16/2014Great quality sushi, good rolls, and good service. Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Great foodLenaDined on 8/12/2014Went there for lunch. Everything was great. Will definitely go back next time I'm back in NY>Special Features:
- TastyPaua2peopleDined on 8/11/2014The sushi was very tasty, noodles: lovely, service: speedy and efficient. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but not amazing or outstanding.Special Features:
- We didn't want to like it but...yummyDined on 8/6/2014We will definitely be back. It started questionable as our table was not ready. The hostess tried to help the situation by offering us drinks on the house which was a nice gesture but it was annoying to have to wait 15 minutes. But then we ate the food and everything was well presented and delicious. Given how they handled the late table and the delicious food, we will definitely be making this place a regular go-to for sushi and creative fusion foods.Special Features:
- Innovative JapanesedeezeeDined on 8/1/2014Yes, they have delicious rolls but be sure to get the Tacos and Fries. You won't be sorry!Special Features:
- Fantastic Everything!nycrestaurantluvrDined on 7/26/2014Fantastic service and amazing sushi!!!! Love this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousWS13VIPDined on 7/24/2014This is certainly the best sushi in the neighborhood. Service can be cold (we waited quite a long time for a waitress) but the food makes it worthwhile.Special Features:
- Not your Average SushiOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/23/2014Great meal! The Spicy Tuna pizza was amazing. The thought of spicy tuna on pizza really was not something we were ready to jump at, but our waiter talked us into it and we pretty much just let him order for us after that! Also enjoyed the Korean tacos, and they had a variety of other not so traditional rolls, along with a good selection of sake.Special Features:
- Among the best in NYCBashaDined on 7/22/2014One of the best sushi restaurants in the City. Period. Their rolls are fresh and very, very beautifully done. Taste is impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/17/2014sushi was great! Drinks were awesome and staff was very attentive!
- FantasticJuanValdezVIPDined on 7/12/2014Great spot. I was worried about a couple of the week ratings amid mostly good ratings, and once i got there was very pleased. I had a bit of sushi, which was good, but the non-sushi items were the most interesting. beef bulgogi tacos and the asian sliders were excellent. Reasonable prices, great food, and a stellar cucumber mart even though it wasn't on the extensive cocktail menu.Special Features:
- Bad sushi- won't go backR2d2Dined on 7/8/2014Sushi was poor quality and overpriced. We could've eaten at NOBU for the same price and had an amazing meal. We waited 30 minutes after our reservation time for a table. I will not go back.
- Yum!ElaineVIPDined on 6/27/2014We had a great experience at Mira Sushi. Dish after dish was greeted with ooohhs and aaaahhs; the quality, presentation, and preparation of the sushi was outstanding, and we are sushi-files. Had requested chef to play a little heavy metal guitar for our son's birthday (really, he does that!) but that evening it turned out not to be possible. He was so gracious, however, inviting me into the kitchen to apologize and promising to play for us next time we come in. Which we definitely will! Mira Sushi & Izakaya provided a memorable dining experience!!!Special Features:
- Always excellentSizeVIPDined on 6/27/2014The food here is consistently excellent. It has the same high quality fish as all of the top sushi restaurants in the city, but at moderate prices and without the long waits. The service here is always friendly and they also have a good selection of sakes and cocktails. In my opinion this is the best casual sushi place in the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice findjuandojuandoDined on 6/26/2014Found it last minute and was pleased with service. Wait staff was attentive and polite. Kobe beef sliders were great and the sesame noodles were fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fish/quality poorOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 6/24/2014Couldn't finish it. Chunky uneven cuts, fishy flavor and over sauced crudo. Went here for a work lunch, embarrassed. That said, it was crowded so they must be doing something right.Special Features:
- Sushi for 20-something crowdOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/21/2014Good food. Very popular with young crowd. Didn't see anyone there past early 30s.
- JGrollVIPDined on 6/21/2014Great happy hour & world cup specials. Sushi was excellent!Special Features:
- Excellent Food! Service,not so muchAMTinNYCVIPDined on 6/19/2014I've been several times, the first experience was flawless. The second time, the service was atrocious. We were sat close to 45 min. delayed WITH a reservation. Once sat, we had to ask for menus, drinks, had to ask if we could put in our order. Overall just very slow/delayed poor experience with the flow of the meal. But the food keeps me going back, and ordering through seamless.Special Features:
- A Night To Remember!FoodCraverDined on 6/14/2014We arrived for a table for two and were quickly seated. The hostess was very accommodating and the waiter was quick and attentive. We had the recommended drink: Ginger Mojoto & ordered the salt adamani and tuna pizza as an appetizer. The Tuna Pizza was simply INCREDIBLE!!!! For our main course, we had the volcano roll & hamajara (something along these lines) it was delicouse. For desert, we indulged in the green tea teramisu with both camomile and peach tea. The prices are very fair and reasonable, well worth it! The entire dining expirience, from the presentation, to the service, and the quality of food, A+. Highly recommend this place! We absolutely loved it, fantastic dining expirience! 120% coming back & getting delivery.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!ALISWDined on 6/14/2014I brought a party of 7 to dinner for my brother's birthday. We loved it. The food was great and the service was also very good. The food came out at a good pace. We ended up ordering a second of every dish. Also, the price was very reasonable.Special Features:
- reviewereviewDined on 6/12/2014Interesting Rolls. Food was decent, but the Zagat rating was way off base. Enjoyed dinner a lot, but if you are seeking out worldly sushi this is not it. It had the size and variety of the food plates I expect in Izakaya, but the styles were different. Would go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousPRC19Dined on 6/7/2014Sushi so fresh. Loved the food and service. Looking for a place to have a fresh and one of the best sushi Mira is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place!!PeterSVIPDined on 6/7/2014I come here often, it is a unique place for Asian Fusion food.Special Features:

- Very busy restaurantkslnycDined on 5/27/2014This was the second time I went back with friends. The Kobe beef on hot stone was still amazing. Highly recommend. Mary was our waitress. She was nice and helped us to order just to the right amount of food. Excellent service. Price was very reasonable.Special Features:
- The following 131 reviews are from the Mira Sushi & Izakaya Bar reviews archive.
- Absolutely scrumptious!FoodandwineloverDined on 5/24/2014Love this place! I actually get cravings for the hamachi sashimi and the spicy salmon/mango rolls.Special Features:
- MiscommunicationdmellaDined on 5/23/2014The reservation was made for 11PM on OpenTable. We called to say that we were running late and that we would be arriving at 11:10. They told us that as long as we ordered by 11:15 we would be fine since they closed at 11:30. As a regular, I was not concerned about the tight ordering timeline. When we arrived at 11:10 we were told the restaurant was closed and that we could order for takeout. Noone took responsibility for the call, and the hostess was very rude. We got takeout, which was great as always.

Deltapine, West Texas Gins To Support Local FFA Chapters
Deltapine and cotton gins across West Texas have teamed up to support the Texas FFA Association in providing educational opportunities for members about the importance of cotton yields and production in Texas.
The program is open to chapters in FFA Area I and Area II in West Texas and includes a video contest for FFA members and a sweepstakes for cotton producers. The prizes awarded in the video contest and sweepstakes combined could result in up to $10,000 of cash donation to West Texas FFA chapters.
FFA members will visit a gin and interview farmers or ginners during harvest season. For additional information, interested parties can visit www.CottonVideoContest.com.
Amadas Industries Offers Round Module Handler,
Stalker Puller/Chopper For New Crop Season
Amadas Industries has announced the commercial release of its new RMH 1000 and RMH 1010 Round Module Handlers for cotton harvesting, as well as the Hi-Speed Cotton Stalk Puller/Chopper system.
In the Round Module Handler, each fork is effectively supported, and its movement controlled by four rollers with hardened, greasable steel bushings on a 6" by 6" square tubing lower arm. Ground and truck bed contact is reduced, allowing for a smoother pickup and module release.
The Cotton Stalk Puller/Chopper provides a unique, integrated system for extracting harvest cotton stalks, in-cluding the root system, and then chopping them into smaller pieces.
The major advantage of this new system over conventional mowing, is that the crop's root system is removed, which allows a more effective breakup of the life cycle of insects and diseases that overwinter in the remaining stalk.
For more information on both of these items, interested parties should go to www.amadas.com or call (219) 439-2217.

The SonicScoop Year in Review: Top NYC Music Business News and Trends of 2010
December 29, 2010 by David Weiss
THE FIVE BOROUGHS: 2010 has been busy all right. For anyone involved in New York City's expansive business of music – producer, publisher, entrepreneur, engineer, artist, and many more – the environment remains fast-paced, ultra-competitive and constantly changing.
With 2011 looming, SonicScoop looked for the news, trends and topics that stood out to us over the past 365 days.
In audio post, it was grow or die in the uppermost echelon. The biggest facilities, including hsr|ny, Nutmeg, and Sound Lounge made serious expansions into audio and/or video:
Sound Lounge opened an ADR Stage and multiple studios.
Nutmeg Post added a strong team and facility when it soaked up Soundhound.
The big post house Mega Playground built out audio capabilities.
Northern Lights added a 5.1 audio mixing suite.
Video house Click3X reversed the trend and added their own audio suite.
Celebrating 35 years in business, hsr|ny continued to expand as a full-service video and audio post facility.
Large and mid-sized recording/tracking/mixing studios kept making capital improvements and expanding:
Premier Studios took over the 8th floor at 723 7th Avenue.
Engine Room opened up its penthouse studio.
Stadium Red expanded with a new studio for Just Blaze and a mastering suite.
Platinum Studios added Augspurgers to Studio K.
Sear Sound set up the Moog-centric Studio D.
Tainted Blue swapped out its SSL for a Euphonix (nee Avid) System 5.
And props to Electric Lady for marking its 40th Anniversary.
Converse (yes, the shoe company) has an interesting business plan for the Rubber Tracks studio it's going to open in Williamsburg in 2011: no-cost recording.
Advanced smaller studios – independent and within larger facilities — and producer rooms also opened up at a peppy pace:
Chris Theberge's Music Works arrived on the Upper West Side.
The former One Point Six in Williamsburg was reborn as Three Egg Studios.
Manhattan Center Studios launched The Fuse Box with Public Enemy's Brian Hardgroove.
Avatar opened up its Studio W writing room.
Sisko's Min-Max Studios opened up in midtown.
Marc Alan Goodman announced an ambitious new expansion for Brooklyn's Strange Weather, then blogged about the buildout – step by step – for SonicScoop.
Guitarist Justin King moved his Vinegar Hill Sound from Portland, OR to DUMBO, Brooklyn.
Avid capped off a furious year of reinvention and new products with the release of Pro Tools 9.
Music houses and composers still had a ton of TV, film and video game work to go after and win:
Joel Beckerman of Man Made Music continued to make NYC a TV music powerhouse.
Composer Peter Nashel turned ears everywhere with his work for shows like Rubicon.
Outfits like Expansion Team scored for networks such as the Biography Channel.
Tom Salta understands how to get chosen to score for games like Prince of Persia and Red Steel 2.
Production music and synch licensing remained a solid business, especially for those who got in at the right time or had a smart approach.
NYC's Kingsize Music was acquired by 615 Music.
And later on Warner-Chappell (NYC) bought up 615 Music.
NYC's Videohelper released the "Scenarios" music search tool.
Jingle Punks continued to grow.
Mechanical licensing experts RightsFlow kept progressing.
One of NYC's most controversial music business plays, peer-to-peer file sharing network Limewire, appeared to be finally finished.
Tracking, mixing and mastering at NYC's established facilities did a relatively healthy volume of A-level and independent work throughout the year:
The Black Eyed Peas, Rivers Cuomo and Kanye West were at Germano Studios.
Neon Indian, Beach House, Matt and Kim, Bear Hands and more were mastered at The Lodge.
MSR Studios handled Kid Cudi, Evanescence and Broadway Cast recordings.
Lenny Kravitz, The Dirty Pearls, "Glee", and Vampire Weekend were all at Avatar.
Joe Lambert Mastering worked with Moby and Ninjasonik.
New software and hardware happiness abounded:
We elected many items "Buzzworthy" at AES, from Universal Audio, Focal, SSL, Burl, Shadow Hills, Izotope, Sound Toys, Lavry Engineering, Telefunken and more.
Propellerhead released Reason 5.
NYC suffered losses when beloved people and places left us:
Recording icon Walter Sear passed away.
The great hip hop/jazz experimentalist Guru was gone before his time.
Clinton Recording Studios hosted its last session.
Brick and mortar music retail took another hit when Fat Beats shuttered its last stores.
Baseline Studios, home of Just Blaze and countless Jay-Z hits, closed.
Chung King Studios started off 2010 with a bang by suddenly vacating Varick Street.
NYC-based producers, mixers, engineers and artists became businesses in their own right:
Producer Chris Coady worked on some hugely acclaimed records this year, including Beach House Teen Dream and Delorean Subiza, as well as records with Hooray for Earth, Zola Jesus, Smith Westerns, Cold Cave.
People like Allen Farmelo developed their distinctive sound.
Choice songwriter Claude Kelly made a business of hits.
Shane Stoneback's career took off via work with Sleigh Bells and Vampire Weekend.
Mixer Mark Saunders embraced multiple aspects of the biz from his studio at Beat 360.
Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess took his iPad/iPhone app MorphWiz all the way to #1.
Joel Hamilton continued down an immersive production path, working on records with Blakroc, Dub Trio, The Parkington Sisters and Blakroc.
And John Agnello brought his classic production and engineering technique to new records for Kurt Vile, J Mascis, Shayna Zaid And The Catch and Dead Confederate (among others).
The studio scene got a lot more socialicious and FUN:
Flux Studios was always hosting something in the East Village, like Alto and Dangerous converging for a schooling from Fab.
Digital Music NY was one of many popular business-based meetups.
Stadium Red partied down post-CMJ.
20dot20 mixed advertising and music.
And the Connectors connected a LOT of people.
What big stories would you include? And what do you see next in 2011? Don't be shy – leave a comment and let us know!
– Janice Brown and David Weiss

Established in 1947, Colimar Lodge was one of the first resorts in the Greenstone region to provide outdoor recreation opportunities for visitors to the Nipigon-Albany watersheds. We continue that tradition today, with facilities that offer you, the sportsperson, the chance to connect with the wilderness of Northwestern Ontario. Fantastic freshwater fishing, big and small game hunting, quality accommodations, fresh air, sparkling waters, and our Northern hospitality, are all yours for the asking! Let us show you the beauty of our "back yard!"
Colimar Lodge is unique to the resort industry, as it offers two types of
outdoor experiences for the sportsperson. The main base camp in Jellicoe offers
deluxe housekeeping cottages for drive-in visitors, and is situated in the heart
of an area that boasts dozens of drive-in fishing and hunting opportunities. Our
other vacation product provides remote wilderness trips to fly-in outpost camps, where
the hard-core angler and hunter can enjoy exceptional fishing and hunting
The current owner of the Lodge is Fran Koning, who has operated the business
for 14 years. Prior to running the resort, Fran worked for the previous owner
for 20 years. Her husband, George McCullagh, does much of the flying for the outpost trips.
How to find us.

- Pros
- Tangle free, great sound and good quality
- Cons
- the cable if a bit heavy
- • • •
Andrew. They are built for good sound to a good price and not for usning when exercising because the flat cable is to heavy and makes a bad noice. I put my cable inside the shirt/jacket when I use them for training or just my bluetooth headphones.
Their new a-Jays five will have a clip on them so that they can be used for exercising as well.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Bucknell chapter of Habitat for Humanity, in partnership with the Union-Snyder Habitat for Humanity, dedicated a new house Thursday, Jan. 18.
The 5 p.m. dedication ceremony in New Berlin, Pa., is a crowning moment for the partnership.
The newly finished house, located about 10 miles from campus, represents the Bucknell chapter's second construction and Union-Snyder Habitat's 14th since the chapter was founded in 1991.
At the ceremony, the Bucknell student chapter will present the partner family with a scrapbook commemorating the entire build process.
Working with the community
Tom Wagner, a Bucknell senior and president of the University chapter of Habitat for Humanity, said, "Over the past semester we, as Bucknell students, had the opportunity, not only to work together to reach a common goal, but to work with the community as well.
"The dedication of this house is the culmination of two years of fundraising, more than five months of construction, and innumerable memories."
Wagner said more than 80 Bucknell students participated in the construction and estimated that they volunteered more than 300 hours for the New Berlin project.
Two-year fundraising effort
The Miller Street construction, which will house a family of four, was made possible by the Bucknell's chapter's two-year effort to raise $20,000, about half the cost of the new construction, to sponsor the house for a local family.
Ground was officially broken for the New Berlin house on Aug. 26, 2006.

This Office Products Company is Highly Undervalued
Gaurav is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
While the market is hardly bullish on the office products superstores, the prevailing wisdom is that the segment will swing to the upside once job growth appears. However, growth does not come easily to any saturated industry and the office products space is no exception. Growth in a mature sector must be earned, even hunted, and the office space sector has not hunted hard enough for growth. It has missed opportunities such as Keurig, Vistaprint, iPad, wireless and the middle market.
As a result, all the major office products companies, including Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS), Office Depot (NYSE: ODP) and OfficeMax (NYSE: OMX), have struggled tremendously in recent years. The following summarizes the stock price movement of these companies over the last two years.
We can see that the stock price of each of these office products giants have dropped significantly. While OfficeMax shares are showing some signs of recovery, Staples is the one that has been hit the most dropping more than 50% over this period. Being the largest office retailer globally, Staples has the greatest exposure to the worsening macro environment, especially in Europe. However, it is interesting to note that Staples is the only one among these three companies that has managed to post profits every year over the last five years. In my opinion, Staples remains the best-in-class retailer with a strong global franchise and virtually unrivaled online operations. Following a gradual decline over the last few years, I think there is a significant opportunity for upside in the stock over the next 12 months.
I see significant sales growth opportunities including growth in services, tech, break room supplies, delivery & further market share gains. Furthermore, I believe the company is well positioned to execute on operating margin expansion initiatives including purchasing synergies, G&A savings, supply chain efficiencies, and growth of service & private label offerings. The company is planning to expand its portfolio of products to draw more consumers and will be focusing on mobile marketing to grow what is already the second biggest retail business on the Web. The company has a strong balance sheet and a plenty of cash to accomplish such goals. Let's look at the Debt/Equity ratio of Staples as well as OfficeMax and Office Depot.
Clearly, Staples' debt level looks manageable and thus, poses less risk in the event of a business decline as compared to OfficeMax and Office Depot.
According to a recently conducted national survey, Staples is among the fastest online shippers. Consumers really care about delivery time, many times even more than price. It is encouraging to see that the company has realized the importance of timely delivery in the e-commerce industry and implemented well on the initiative. Going forward, I believe these advancements will drive better sales as more and more people become aware of this.
The company is dealing with shrinking margins, but a large part of that is due to unreasonable pricing by Amazon. Moreover, it's not just Staples. OfficeMax and Office Depot have also seen a huge reduction in margins over time. Encouragingly, Staples is still making better profits as compared to Amazon as well as OfficeMax and Office Depot. Staples has a cost advantage due to favorable economies of scale and is likely to enjoy better margins in the future as well.
In short, I believe Staples is a highly underappreciated company and an undervalued stock. The company is decreasing its square footage area, which will improve profitability and ROIC. Moreover, the company has made several changes over the last year including a leadership changes and reorganization of its sales-force and I believe the company is on the right track to see stabilization. The company is coping with the ongoing challenges very well and it will gradually reflect on the share price; until then there is a generous 3.60% yield to enjoy. I rate it a buy.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
This article covers the evolution of a UCSD engineer's innovation nearly all the way from idea to commercialization. It also shows how San Diego's entrepreneurial community rallies around the entrepreneur to help him clear the hurdles to market.
Building a company means creating an "entrepreneurial corporate culture," according to this article by a big-company supervisor turned entrepreneur. The best "entrepreneurial" cultures borrow worthy tactics from the Fortune 500, while discarding those that constrain productivity, says the author. Included are tips for what to take and what to leave behind.
Larry Levy believes entrepreneurship education is important for the future of our country, and his involvement with Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management, demonstrates the commitment behind his beliefs.
In a matter of weeks colleges and universities across the country will be teeming with students. A new school year will bring the excitement of new discovery, opportunities to meet new people, and the anticipation of learning. On these campuses students will also find a vast array of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.
Research shows that nearly 50 percent of workers don't have performance goals that can be objectively measured. A lack of clear objectives can lead to workplace dissatisfaction and an increase in turnover rates. This article suggests a number of communication strategies to address the problem.
Even with the most intuitive educational material, sometimes the most important thing a students needs is the ability to ask questions. For entrepreneurs, who are often lifelong learners, this is essential to the application of the material to their business. While online learning can facilitate opportunities to learn lessons anytime, anywhere that might not otherwise be available, the opportunity to engage directly with experts creates important connections and discussions.
You don't need to spend countless hours in a classroom, or have an MBA to become a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs often don't have the time or patience to sit through a semester long class or six-week course in order to retrieve the answer to a question they have now--today. They need help quickly and efficiently. And this is where our idea for Founders School started.
Winning interscholastic new venture competitions and real-world financing entails focusing on markets rather than technology or planning, says a venture capitalist who judges such contests.

MAHNOMEN, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota casino says legendary country singer George Jones is ill and has canceled a concert scheduled this week.
Jones was scheduled to perform Friday at Shooting Star Casino, Hotel and Event Center in Mahnomen. That concert had been rescheduled from April when Jones needed more time to recover from an upper respiratory infection.
Shooting Star released a statement from Jones' management team, saying the 81-year-old singer has gotten a virus and is being treated by doctors.
Jones apologized to his fans for the inconvenience.
Shooting Star says there are no plans to reschedule the performance. Ticket-buyers will receive a refund in seven to 10 days.

Whitney Tilson's Under-the-Radar Investments Can Boost Your Portfolio
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Hedge funds generate most of their alpha from small-cap stocks, primarily because the information surrounding this space is less efficient. At Insider Monkey, we've empirically tested this phenomenon, and according to our analysis, hedge funds' top small-cap picks generated an alpha of about 120 basis points per month between 1999 and 2009 (see more details on how this happens here).
With this in mind, it's important to do a fund-by-fund analysis. Let's take a look at one hedge fund in particular: Whitney Tilson's T2 Partners. Using our database of 13F filings from the SEC, we'll take a look at the fund's favorite small-cap holdings in its equity portfolio (see all of Whitney Tilson's stock picks). Each stock listed here had a market capitalization between $1 billion and $5 billion at the end of the third quarter, which is the same benchmark used in our market-beating strategy.
First up is Howard Hughes Corp. (NYSE: HHC), Tilson's top small-cap pick. At last year's Value Investing Congress (check out Insider Monkey's full recap here), Tilson discussed his primary bullish thesis behind the real estate operator. The hedge fund manager believes that four specific properties of Howard Hughes'—in Las Vegas, Houston, South Street Seaport, and Honolulu, Hawaii—are severely undervalued. On the whole, shares of HHC currently trade at a modest price-to-book multiple (1.2x), and Wall Street's average price target represents a 24% upside. Despite the stock's solid 16% appreciation over the past six months, investors who choose to mimic Tilson here can still benefit.
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), interestingly, is technically Tilson's second favorite small-cap investment. Though the streaming content company now sports a market capitalization in excess of $9 billion, shares were significantly cheaper at the end of the last 13F filing with the SEC (Q3), so the stock classifies to be included in this list. Netflix's recent performance—an 87.7% appreciation in the past month alone—is a reason for many investors to take their profits, but it's worth mentioning that investors who want a piece of the action now may still be rewarded.
The sell-side expects EPS growth to average 18-19% over the next half-decade, and NFLX still trades at a modest 12.4 times its cash. Still, a forward earnings multiple above 60x is alarming to many investors, until we remember that this metric under-appreciates the company's recurring profits. While we can't break down bottom line figures, it is estimated that around three-fourths of Netflix's top line is from online subscriptions, far above last year's 57% number. This should be regarded as a highly bullish trend.
Moreover, continuing dialogue between Netflix management and legendary activist investor Carl Icahn indicates that there may be more value creation in the future. We'll have to wait and see what happens on this front, but there are reasons to believe that aspiring NFLX investors didn't completely miss the boat.
Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (NYSE: AHL), meanwhile, is Whitney Tilson's third largest small-cap holding. Aspen Insurance's subsidiaries offer insurance and reinsurance services to a variety of clients throughout Europe and Canada, and its shares have returned a cool 28.7% over the past 12 months. Aspen has benefited from a generally bullish macroeconomic environment, as S&P projects that "record catastrophe losses both in the U.S. and around the world will extract billions of dollars of excess underwriting capacity from the insurance marketplace, causing insurance rates to rise."
With this in mind, we must mention that Aspen has beaten the Street's earnings estimates in each of its first three quarters of FY2012 by an average margin of 46%. The company reports its fourth quarter financials on February 7th, and if it is to meet or beat expectations, there is potential for further appreciation. Shares currently trade at depressed price-earnings growth (0.76) and price-to-book (0.7x) multiples. A dividend yield near 2% is icing on this stock's proverbial cake, so to speak.
Tronox (NYSE: TROX) is Whitney Tilson's fourth largest small-cap investment, sitting at the No. 25 spot in his 13F portfolio. The titanium dioxide producer has come slightly light on the revenue side in its last two quarterly financials, and shares have slipped 22.5% over the past six months. On top of this, the company is currently in a lawsuit with Anadarko Petroleum (APC). On the situation, The Motley Fool said it best: "If it [Tronox] wins, the materials maker can paint the future black with profits; a loss just might send it back into bankruptcy." At 8 times forward earnings and a price-to-book below 1.0x, investors willing to bet on a Tronox victory have the potential to see immense value here, but it's an obvious risk.
Last but certainly not least, Iconix Brand Group (NASDAQ: ICON) is Tilson's fifth largest small-cap holding. As its name suggests, Iconix is a brand management company that has beaten analysts' top and bottom line estimates in four of its past five quarters. As one can expect, this has led to solid appreciation over the past 3-month (28.2%), 6-month (32.8%), and 12-month (27.5%) periods, and shares still trade at relatively cheap earnings and free cash flow multiples. Iconix reports its Q4 FY2012 earnings in mid-February; ardent investors should be watching this date closely. The sell-side expects the company to generate a 38-cent EPS on the back of $82 million in revenues. There's still room for this stock to run if Iconix can meet or beat these estimates.

Can money really buy happiness?
Okay, so we have all heard this question before. I know that for a fact we're all told that money doesn't buy happiness. But when you actually think about it can it? With money you can buy so many things you want that could make you happy. But you can't buy the fundamentals in life. I just want people's opinions on this cause I always hear such contradicting answers.

May 2 2013: Money cannot buy happiness, it can buy faux-happiness but that fades rapidly.
Often it seems like those who live Spartan lives are the most happy, it seems to me because the things you own, eventually own you, as you try to keep up with trends and always seeing something a little better, a little sleeker, a little cooler than what you have.

This Charizard figure ships in April for ¥3,990 ($46). If Bandai decides to keep going with Pokemon figures, this collection is going to get very expensive.

Does it hurt to get hit with a paintball?
This is the first question asked new players usually ask about the sport. Getting hit by a paintball typically "stings" or "smarts" a little, especially if shot inside of 20 feet and directly on your skin. Typically, this will result in a small welt or bruise. The best comparison for what it feels like is snapping yourself with a rubber band. Because of this, paintball is recommended for 12+.
If this bothers you, you can wear extra protective padding, such as knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, chest protectors, and neck protectors. And, of course, approved paintball masks to protect your eyes and face are mandatory safety gear.

Oct 2014 Racing Calendar
Social Stream
Upcoming Events
1600 ExpositionA story of who goes where: The entry and post draw process.
Every September, I go to Frederick, Maryland to announce their harness program during that city's fair. One of the most enjoyable parts of those mornings for me before we race is sitting in on the entry and post position draw process for upcoming cards of the meet. The procedure is straightforward: After putting together the written entries she has gathered over recent days, Racing Secretary Bev Hubble produces dice from a well-worn leather jug-like container that when shaken and emptied, serves yet again as the decision-maker like it has over many decades of racing at that track. Drawing post position for upcoming races is quite the social event inside her office, with drivers, trainers, and most any of us with a job at the meet clustered together in a shed row office, all to watch a slice of history live on. Sure, everyone's racing for their share of perhaps five hundred dollars total per mile, yet there is no mistaking the sense of anticipation, and the hopes for the preferred post a horse's connections often make no secret about. Moments like those reinforce exactly why I love being connected to this industry.
While we'd need to rent at least a medium-sized theatre hall if those connected to Cal Expo's entry-taking and post draws decided to hold a Frederick-style event, it is that experience in Maryland for me that led me to want to tell you the story of how that critical process is conducted at a major harness track. At Cal Expo, several people get together to conduct the event. Fred Kuebler has been the Racing Secretary at the track for well over thirty years, and along with Assistant Racing Secretary Brent Bridges, Placing Judge Kathy Poor, and a Steward that always manages the post numbering portion and supervises overall the whole activity (this week it was Grant Baker), the staff comes together at nine in the morning each Tuesday of a racing week to do this work, which is easily one of the most critical parts of administrative business a racetrack must conduct.
Barring a special event by which those representing a competing horse (such as a trainer) are given a chance to select post position, the process of putting together a card and determining post is basically done the same way across all of horse racing; irrespective of breed or format. It's a multi-day process at Cal Expo that starts on Sundays with the release of a condition sheet. The condition sheet is an offer of possible races that specify the terms under which a horse must meet in performance to be placed into the event. Much of the conditions center on how much a horse has been winning or earning money of late, although from time to time (and we are presently in that time) the focus will be on placing horses into a lettered class based on overall performance.
Entries are taken in within a ninety minute window the next day. "Towards the end of the time we take entries, the last half-hour, the phone goes crazy!" explained Assistant Race Secretary Brent Bridges. Once those entries are taken in, all the appropriate forms are prepared and packaged up alongside previously declared "conditions" which are developed that maximize the situations which are present at the track. On my arrival, each of the four people directly involved took moments to explain to me what was happening or about to occur. The groups of entries are packaged in such a way that what will be perceived as the most challenging races are placed into the multi-race wagers such as the Pick-4 or Pick-5.
Fred then made an interesting offer to me. I was invited to stand on one side of the counter in front of a wooden paper holder and be the person who randomly grabbed entry slips representing the horses entered to race this week. For the next hour or so, eyes staring off at the ceiling, watching every other person's work, or taking in the overall atmosphere of the racing office, I randomly grabbed entry forms that Kathy was placing into the paper holder. As she took the sheets, she would line them up post order as numbers were called, then at the end of each group or condition fulfilled by assigning a number, restate the outcome. Once completed, that sets up a race.
We did twenty-eight rounds of this.
As we drew these races, I found myself looking quite often at the drawing of numbers out of a plastic container which was going on to my left. Grant Baker, a veteran racing official throughout California and Idaho across many years, was handling this portion and referred to the numbers as "pills" which he was placing onto a wood tray after each sheet I pulled. Watching that part of the process took me back to the times in Maryland that sit as some of my favorite moments I take away from those trips each year, and even though it's a routine task all around for everyone, I noted that like what I see back east, the work is strong in ritual, tradition, and even bits of good humor. Apparently, the job I did is sometimes filled by an available horseman. In one session, the entire week's program is drawn, and at the end, I was given a chart cover to sign that certified I had been a participant in the procedure.
As sheets are reviewed on the conclusion of each race's draw, attention is paid to driver requests that are listed on the individual forms. Connections to the horse often specify multiple driver preferences in order. In some races, there will be several duplications in the requests. This is where "scratch time" comes into play. By that point on Wednesday, drivers with multiple competing offers must declare their choice of horse to drive. As the late Cal Expo announcer of years ago, Joe Alto would be inclined to say, this Wednesday deadline is "crunch time", and that's because all of this work must be settled in order to be able to present the entirety of draw data for the racing program on Friday and Saturday nights.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This column is part of the call to prayer issued by Frank S. Page, president of the SBC Executive Committee, to pray for revival and spiritual awakening for our churches, our nation and our world during 2013. Baptist Press is carrying columns during the year encouraging Southern Baptists to pray in specific areas and for specific needs in petitioning the Father for spiritual awakening.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- In the month of November, Americans traditionally set aside a day for Thanksgiving. Obviously, it is a time of food and fellowship and family time for millions and millions of Americans. That is as it ought to be. However, Scripture tells us that we need to give thanks at
times and in
In the Scriptures, Philippians 4:6-7 gives us the following words: "Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
That passage is precious to me. It gives a guiding principle for life. It calms my spirit. It lets me know that in every circumstance I am to take my life's needs to the Lord, with thanksgiving.
Many know this month marks the time of year when our oldest daughter died. Though it is now some years ago, the 27th of November will always be a day remembered in the Page household as a day when our lives changed forever. Our daughter took her life that day.
Yes, it changed our lives ... and it has taught us many lessons.
One of those lessons is to take our life's needs to the Lord. The amazing truth of God's Scripture is that when we do that, a peace which truly does transcend human understanding guards our hearts and minds.
Humans cannot understand that in their carnal nature. However, in our spiritual nature, we understand that God gives supernatural ability to have peace in the midst of the most difficult of circumstances.
I pray that you will rejoice with me today for the many great things God has done. I pray that you will rejoice with me that God gives us a supernatural ability to handle life, even hard times in life, in a way that is not understandable by our world.
So, when I call for people to give thanks, we have much to be thankful for! We need the peace of God and we need the God of peace. Happy Thanksgiving!
