Historical Traveler Reviews Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija Riga
Excellent Hotel
Stayed at the Reval for four nights in July whilst on a (mature!) stag do.
Found the hotel excellent - very clean, good service with excellent facilities. The sky bar had good views and prices where reasoanble. Also worth a go in the sauna again for the views of the Old Town. The 24 hour Casino is worth a visit and offers a good exchange rate if you have any money left!
The dinner buffet whilst not cheap by Riga standards at 9 lats offers really good choice and quality.
Would definately go to the Reval again.
Good hotel, nice view
I stayed with my wife two nights at the hotel with a group tour. We got a nice twin room at the 8th floor with an view on the Orthodox Cathedral and the old town in the distance. Very convenient location to walk in few minutes into the old town of this beautiful capital, the only real capital of the Baltic republics. The bar at the 26th floor give guests an amazing view on the whole city. Breakfast is great. I was positively surprised by dinner buffet, a valid alternative to expensive restaurants in the old town. Every day you could read a short report of the news of the world in six languages. Very good Internet services. I don't like these kind of big unpersonalized hotels so I would not stay here again but I admit this hotel is really good. Ah, I forgot to say not to miss a long walk in the old town which keeps a lot of artistic and architectural (Jugendstil) attractions. Other attractions are... the women, I had never seen such a qualitatively high average of beautiful girls. One more reason to visit Riga, expecially for singles
As a hotel the Reval has pluses and minuses. It's situated perfectly, staring from its great height directly on to the Old Town, and the park that precedes. You can even see the 'Milda' statue, the pride of the parks that one walks through to reach the Old Town.
The rooms are very clean and smart, as one would expect from a modern hotel chain. They have little character, however - chain hotels the world over are increasingly identical in format. This is no criticism, though. The height of the hotel means your view will depend on what floor you are on. As the hotels was going through a major extension project while I was there, I was looking down on a buliding site. The project is nearly over, so don't worry on this front.
The bars are very nice- the one on the top floor is amazing. I suggest anyone who visits Riga visit the Reval bar on the top floor, whether they stay at the hotel or not. I believe it's 20+ stories high, and looks over the panorama of the whole beautiful city. It's not cheap, and they specialise in cocktails that take 5 minutes to make, so expect to wait to get your order in. All worth it though.
The downstairs bar is very comfortable and spacious, again, very relaxing day or night. The drinks are reasonably priced too.
My one gripe echoes another reviewer here, so I doubt is coincidence. the staff are not friendly or helpful at all. To attract their attention can be a task in itself, and they even seem put out that you've disturbed them. And yes, they do turn their backs on you!
I'd booked the room for 3 nights. On the 2nd night, my entry card wasn't letting me into my room. I assumed the card was faulty, and went to check with the desk. They told me I'd only booked for 2 nights. I assured them I'd booked 3, but couldn't find my reservation details. They seemd very blase about, and at one point it looked like I'd have to find another hotel. They finally found another room for me to book, so I had to pay again.
I arrived home and contacted my booking company, who confirmed I had booked 3 nights. The hotel then backtracked, when the booking company contacted them (who obviously demanded more respect than a lowly customer). Apparently I had personally rang up on the 2nd night and cancelled the 3rd night of my stay! This was a blatant lie to cover up their own error.
I was refunded the extra night I'd had to book, as my booking company proved I'd paid for the full 3 nights originally. This left a bad taste about my stay. My advice- book through a reputable booking company, not directly through the hotel. If they make a mistake -you could well be out of packet or even homeless at nighttime, looking for a hotel room!
Central location, comfortable but miserable staff
The Reval Riga is a chain in the Baltics, central location , tall and comfortable. The restaurant is over priced and service so so, breakfasts were the best we had in Blatic statesthough. The check in and money exchange staff turned their back on you, answered mobiles etc, generally very rude. OK if you get a good rate and location fine.
A good hotel with one or two tiny drawbacks
Excellent location, within walking distance of the old town and provided your room is to the front of the hotel, excellent views. The lobby bar is a good spot, informal and with a good line in drinks and some fine bar food. The rooms are reasonably spacious, the bathrooms must be complimented as they are very modern and the shower is excellent. Overall, the staff working in the hotel were helpful beyond belief, all spoke fluent english and a special mention must go to the porters working in the lobby who helped us with suggestions for daily activities and even put in a good word with the taxi drivers not to rip us off! (it's very common! we nearly got badly stung on arrival but for the hotel staff's assistance) The main drawbacks would be that whilst the restaurant is good for breakfast, the lunch and dinner menus are not spectacular and the service isn't fantastic. Also the nightclub (voodoo) whilst a good nightclub, is packed with ladies of a "professional persuasion" so be very careful how you interact with them and the bouncers/security in here are VERY heavy-handed at times. All in all, a good hotel with a few minor drawbacks, but these are easily avoided.
Nice hotel with great views
We have just spent four nights at the Reval Latvija.On our arrival we were disappointed to be allocated a twin room as we had specifically requested a double.However we were moved to one the next day.The room was the size expected for a standard room,tastefully furnished with a large comfortable bed and was very clean.There was no room safe but we had use of one in reception .One of the reasons we chose this hotel was the Skyline Bar and it's reported views of the city.Unfortunately this is closed for refurbishment until April!But the view from our room was brilliant (20th floor initially then 22nd). The staff were polite and helpful.We ate in the restaurant on one occasion and the food was very nice as were the club sandwiches in the lobby bar.Enjoyed walking round Riga,really pretty.We felt quite safe but one word of warning - don't be fooled into changing Latvian coins into notes for anyone whatever their situation.Too embarrassed to say any more!
Good choice for Riga
Rooms are small for this price level, however the compensation is free wireless internet, and a very well equipped fitness club on the top floor with a glass-walled sauna having a breathtaking view over the old city from the 27th floor. Breakfast is excellent and the lobby is a pleasant meeting place. The location is perfect - I was in walking distance to all my meetings.
Good Place to Stay
We ended up here after leaving our reservation to the last minute. The size of the hotel means there are almost always rooms available. It was more expensive than what we wanted to pay, however, the rooms/views/food were all very good so we weren't disappointed.
The staff were also extremely helpful and organised a tour of Rundale Palace for us on the Sunday. Breakfast is included in the price and there was a variety of food to choose from.
I read the review in this forum before leaving that it wasn't clean, however, both our rooms were spotless.
It's probably not the best value for money as it is expensive by Riga standards; other than that however no complaints. A good place to stay.
Was a great hotel
I was very impressed with this hotel from the moment of check in to check out. I was upgraded to a business room, which was extremely spacious. Scandinavian design, a comfortable double bed and very clean throughout.
I took breakfast the next morning, which was included in the rate (around 100 EUR per night) and there was quite a good spread. The restaurant and lobby areas were all very nice.
I didn't make it to the sky bar, which I'd heard lots about as I was too tired when I arrived. To get to the airport you can arrange a taxi with reception for 5.50 LVL which is very cheap. Actually, if you go by meter it should be slightly less.
A great hotel in an amazing city, very calm and tranquil...
A great view, perfect location and wonderful service
I hadn't visited Riga in 15 years and was looking forward to seeing how the place had changed since its independence from the Soviet Union. Riga is transformed and is becoming a world class cosmopolitan city--testimony to the power of freedom, democracy and the business enterprise system. Great restaurants, restored Art Nouveau architecture, a plethora of outdoor cafes, well dressed people, great public transport system and much history-heroic and tragic going back to the 12th century. It really is becoming the "the Paris of the North" once again.
The purpose of the trip was help set up my daughter for a year in Riga as a Fulbright scholar. The travel party also included my mother (born and raised in Latvia) and my wife--her first visit. I had arranged two rooms at a weekend rate of 85 Euro through a direct booking by email with the very competent Revel Hotel reservation staff (Agnese). We arrived in the evening of August 27 at the modern first class airport terminal on a British Airways flight from London to begin our two week stay. Fifteen years ago the airport arrival in Riga meant a tarmac full of Soviet aircraft, no weather proof gangways, an ancient baggage handling system, no duty free shops and stern looking airport security and passport officials.
After two incredibly expensive days in London and the confusing environment of Heathrow we sensed a different more charming experience. We quickly found our driver Valdis arranged by the Hotel for 5 Lats ($10). He groaned at the sight of 10 pieces of luggage but successfully loaded them on to his Mercedes Van for the 15 minute drive to the Hotel. We gave him a good tip. (We ended up retaining Valdis for out-of town trips to Priekule, Liepaja, Ventspils and Rundale Palace.) After crossing the Daugava River -with a wonderful view of Riga Castle and Old Town--we checked into the sparkling lobby of the Hotel Latvija on 55 Elizabetes Iela (street). The former Soviet style hotel in the center of Riga is now a full service hotel and recently renovated. It is the tallest building in Riga. Our rooms were on the 15th and 17th floors and we had an expansive view down Brivibas Boulevard, Freedoms Monument and Old Town (with the stately steeples of Dome Cathedral and St. Peters Church). The massive statue of Lenin that was across from the hotel 15 years ago is gone. The city perspective was just magnificent and inspiring-even saw fireworks displays. It cast a magic spell on my wife. We proceeded up to the 27th floor Sky Lounge for a late night snack and cocktails and the city view was even more impressive.
We were delighted with the location, amenities, and service of the hotel so we decided to book it for the remainder of our stay in Riga and got the same weekend rate-- despite the fact the hotel was booked to 100 % capacity with tours, businessmen, wedding groups and conference activity. Many thanks again to Agnese of the reservation department.
A good feature was the First Client Card issued by the Revel Group (free registration on the web site) which gave us a 10% discount on meals and purchases on the hotel property. An interesting benefit of the card is the 50% discount on rooms if you check in after midnight if rooms are available. For checking email -- the business center offers 30 minutes of free internet access. There is an excellent top-floor sauna and fitness center on the 27th floor with 180� views which my daughter took full advantage. The morning breakfast buffet until 10:30 am (11:00 on weekends) included in the room rate was quite extensive. Most of the hotel staff is English literate and guests are all quite friendly. We met a group of Finns on a sports outing from Helsinki who praised the quality of the Latvian golf courses. The lunch and dinner service at the spacious Restaurant Esplanade is fabulous. We entertained a number of our friends and relatives and were very pleased with the menu and high quality food and service. There are many other first rate restaurants nearby. For entertainment you will find the Voodoo discoth�que, nightclub and casino in the lower levels of the hotel.
The Latvija is very conveniently located to trolley lines and buses-but since the weather was so pleasant we often just walked to various destinations nearby. The picturesque park across the street would take you to the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, the National Art Museum, various outdoor shopping stalls and onto Freedom Square and across the canal running into Vecriga (Old Town). For less than 3 Lats ($5 US) taxis can take you to nearly all sections of central Riga.
The location worked out very well for my daughter - the University of Latvia is a short walk so she could register for classes and meet with her advisor.
I highly recommend the Hotel Latvija. There are other hotels with more spacious and well appointed rooms -and you will pay substantially more. The combination of great views, location, services and price can't be beat for a first time visitor from the US.

Bahrain's main Shiite opposition group Al-Wefaq has warned of fresh protests across the Sunni-ruled kingdom unless a national dialogue with the regime leads to real reforms, namely a constitutional monarchy.
"A peaceful revolution for reforms is our choice," Al-Wefaq chief Sheikh Ali Salman told a party congress late on Thursday in the village of Saar near Manama, according to a statement received on Friday by AFP.
"The people will continue to struggle for their demands no matter what the challenges, obstacles or the price to pay, in order to achieve their legitimate right" to see a constitutional monarchy in Bahrain, Salman said in the statement.
Al-Wefaq entered a national dialogue with the government last month aimed at resolving the political deadlock in the Shiite-majority kingdom, but the talks have been dogged by disagreement between the two sides.
Bahrain has witnessed two years of political upheaval linked to opposition demands for a real constitutional monarchy, with the unrest claiming at least 80 lives, according to international rights groups.
The talks -- launched on February 10 just four days before Bahrain marked the second anniversary of the February 14, 2011 uprising -- are being held twice a week between representatives of the government and the opposition.
Salman dismissed the importance of the talks held so far, saying the sessions were merely a "preparation for" real dialogue with the government.
"The negotiations will begin when we broach our key demands, including an elected government," he said, reiterating Al-Wefaq's position that the outcome of the talks must be submitted to a vote by referendum.
"We want to go from a political tribal system in which one family controls almost half of all ministerial posts, to a system in which the people will be the source of power thanks to free elections," Salman said.
The opposition has repeatedly denounced the Sunni Al-Khalifa monarchy, saying it "monopolises all powers" and stuck to its demands for a constitutional monarchy with an elected premier.
Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa, an uncle of King Hamad, has been in office since 1971.

13 reviews | 4.8 out of 5
after trying several strollers from different brands this is my favorite. I highly recommend the urbanlight stroller.
I love it! I have the Rittenhouse, Its a beautiful stroller, I love the fabric and style.
it folds and unfolds easily and compact. its easy to store in a small space. fits well in the trunk of a car, and great for a quick, simple, compact fold for the bus or other public transportation.
The seat lays flat, perfect for an infant or sleeping child.
It steers well, and feels durable/sturdy. the quality of the wheels aren't the most impressive, they are plastic with some type of rubbery foam, but its built well and feels durable enough to last. Ive seen less durable wheels on more expensive strollers.
love the large storage basket.
Its so light compared to several strollers I've tried. easy to carry up stairs.
I like the large canopy to shade baby.
all wheels can lock
the seating is cozy, the cup holders for mom and baby is nice, and the 3 or 5 point harness options are also nice.
I feel like I bought the perfect stroller. I just hope it lasts until my baby outgrows it.
I have been buying and returning strollers for the last 4 months due to diffrent problems with size, weight, missing options etc. . i got tired of doing that so i spent hours online reading reviews for diffrent strollers. finally i found this stroller that seems to have it all. Pros:
*** Price (one of the cheapest full size stroller on the market)
*** light weight (under 17lb
*** Compact fold (fits perfectly in my toyota corrola and leave plenty of room for shopping in trunk)
*** Adjustable handle (i am tall , my wife is short, we can adjust to our preferance easily.
*** large Storage under stroller, easily acessable
*** Flat Lie (so my baby can sleep in it as well)
*** 5 point harness (keeps baby secure in place)
Baby tray that disconnect partialy for easy acess to the baby (i use this when i need to change diapers when i am outside helps a lot)
*** Parents Tray (please do not put any thing that can fall and burn your child in this area)
*** Sun Cover (perfect for sunny days and strolling in the park)
*** Cushioned handles (not the best but better then none) Cons:
*** requires some instalation (it took me 20 minutes and i am a handyman, you have to read and follow the direction, it is complex but doable if you follow directions, not ready to use out of box)
*** handles need a better cushion (but are ok)
*** parents tray does not have a concealed area (for keys etc..)
*** if your baby is very chobby he/she may find the seat to be a tight space for sitting and relaxing
Even though the Graco MetroLight stroller was $50 cheaper, I like this one better because it has only 2 front wheels! It makes the stroller easier to maneuver and a little lighter! I also love the folding mechanism vs some of the other strollers. And also, no more drawstrings to raise the seatback! Great job on this model, Graco!
This stroller is beautiful and very well made. Fabric is really soft and pretty. I LOVE IT! It is also very light and easy to assemble.
This item looks nice, was a decent price, and was easy to put together. Also, it is very simple to hook and unhook the car seat. The stroller is not very heavy and pushes with ease. I only gave it four stars because I have not had the opportunity to use it with my baby and in real life situations. I am confident that when my baby girl arrives the stroller will meet my expectations! One point to make is the instructions are not very good or descriptive. Perhaps it is just me, but I do not like Graco's instructions for any of their products I have purchased. They show a picture with only a few words. However, on that note it is still pretty simple to figure out.
We bought this stroller for our second child and we LOVE it! I looked at dozens of strollers and kept coming back to this one. It was fairly easy to put together. The only thing I had trouble with was getting the foot rest to snap into place. Everything fits together snugly and the foot cushion folds up and velcro-s into place to provide a safe place for my newborn to ride. I love the fact that the sunshade is adjustable to protect baby from sun, regardless of which direction it's coming from. I've pushed baby in this a few times and the ride is super smooth. I anticipate having this stroller around for several years!
I am beyond happy with my decision to get the UrbanLite Stroller. It's very easy to put together, fold and unfold to use and the storage compartment is wonderful! The wheels never get stuck and roll very easy where ever we go. I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone!
This stroller is great! Its been so helpful, and easy to use. We take it every where and it goes. Its small enough to fit in to snaller stores but big enouh to carry everyhing my little one needs when we are on the go.
I purchased this stroller and I absolutely love it! It's easy to push. It's easy to fold up! It's really light weight. I absolutely love the colors!!! The best stroller that I have ever purchased!!!
I have gone through several different stollers and I finally found the one. I love this stroller. It has everything I was looking for and for a great price too.
smooth ride still fits my daughter great on any surface and durable! the only thing is it was a bit heavy.
Good product

This invention relates to an apparatus for stacking in layers a number of sheet members, e.g., made of corrugated cardboard, wood, synthetic resin or the like.
In a case where sheet members are to be automatically stacked in piles or layers, it has been customary to provide a stop member at the end of a conveying passage for the sheet members, spaced therefrom, so that the members successively discharged from the passage come into collision with the stop member and are dropped onto a pallet provided below the space formed between the passage and the stop member, whereby the sheets are stacked in layers or piles on the pallet.
With this conventional stacking arrangement, since the stop member is positioned ahead of the conveying direction of the conveying passage, the pallet must be taken away sidewards after completion of the stacking of the sheets, and the fresh pallet must be supplied from the opposite side. This is a considerable inconvenience because a comparatively wide place is needed for the construction of the conveying passage.
Additionally, it has been customary that, for improving working efficiency, the stacking of sheet members on the pallet is not terminated by forming single piles thereof but is rather performed in several piles. It has therefore been necessary that, after completion of the first pile, the stack is moved on the pallet by a distance nearly equal to the length of the sheet members, and then there is formed a subsequent pile. Accordingly there is a danger that the stack or pile falls over during the movement of the pallet.
This invention has for its object to provide a stacking apparatus free from dangers and inconveniences as mentioned above, and it is characterized in that a conveying passage for sheet members is so constructed that a downstream end portion thereof can be lengthened and shortened, a stop member being provided which can be moved up and down, facing a downstream end portion of the passage, with lifting means which can be elevated and lowered below a space formed between the end portion of the passage and the stop member.
Other objects, inventive features and advantages thereof will become clear from the following detailed description of the invention, when read with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side-elevational view of a preferred exemplary embodiment of the apparatus according to this invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II -- II in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 3a to 3 d are schematic partial views showing consecutive operating conditions of the apparatus.
In the drawings, a conveying passage 1 is shown, comprising a number of endless belts arrranged parallel and side by side, to carry and feed sheet members 2, for example, corrugated cardboard or the like. A number of such sheet members 2 may be obtained from a continuous member wound into a roll, by cutting the same into pieces of proper length, which are conveyed along the passage 1 towards stacking means 3.
A downstream end portion 4 of the conveying passage 1 is so constructed that a number of narrow endless belts 23 (see FIG. 2) are applied so as to extend over a number of pulleys 5 provided between a pair of stationary lateral outer machine frames 20. Two pulleys 6, 7 are provided (see again FIG. 1) between movable lateral inner machine frames 22 arranged to move into and out from respective elongated larger, box-shaped machine frames 21 that are fixedly provided on the inner sides of the respective frames 20.
As shown in FIG. 2, the movable frames 22 are carried by racks 25 and rails 26 which are provided on lower surfaces 24 thereof, on a number of aligned pinion wheels 27 and rollers 28, these being integral with a corresponding pinion wheel 27. These rollers 28 and wheels 27 are disposed within the inner space of each box-shaped machine frame 21 so that if the wheel 27a is driven in either direction by an electric motor 29, the movable frames 22 along with the racks 25 are moved in the longitudinal direction so as to project out from or retract into the respective frames 21.
Numeral 30 denotes rails provided at the upper portions in the interiors of the frames 21, and the rails are arranged to be in rolling contact with rollers 31 provided at the upper portions of the frames 22 so that the latter slide smoothly.
If the frames 22 are extended as shown in FIG. 1 by dot-dashed lines, the distance between the innermost pulley 5a of the frame 21 and the pulley 6 of the frame 22 are elongated, and thereby the belts 23 are somewhat pulled down at their extended portions due to the weight of the sheet members 2. Accordingly the frames 21 are provided with rollers 32 therebetween, and a number of flat box-shaped members 33, preferably made of stainless steel sheet or the like, are arranged to move along together with the protruding and retracting movement of the frames 22, whereby the pull on the belts 23 or their hanging down can be prevented.
Numeral 34 denotes a plate which enables the belts 23 to slide thereon smoothly, and it serves to prevent the belts from hanging. The same is so formed that wooden plates 36, each being equal in width to a belt 23, are put integrally on the upper surface of an iron sheet 35. Numeral 37 denotes a rotating shaft driven by a proper power source, and it is so arranged that the rotation thereof is transmitted to the pulleys 5a, 5a through chains 38, 39.
Numeral 40 denotes a plate-formed stop member which is flat at the front surface and is movable to appear and disappear in upward and downward directions, and faces the end of the downstream end portion 4 of the conveying passage 1. A lifting member 41 can be elevated and lowered by an oil-pressure cylinder or the like through a recessed portion 43 of a base 42, and is positioned within a space formed between the end portion 4 and the stop member 40.
The latter is so arranged that it can be moved to appear and disappear toward the top and the bottom while passing between guide rollers 48a, 48b when a pair of racks 44, provided on both sides of the front surface portion of the member 40, are moved by pinion wheels 47, driven by an electric motor 46 provided below a table 45 of the lifting member 41.
Roller groups 49, 50, 51, which properly can be driven by an electric motor, are provided on the table 45 and the base portions 42 in front and rear of the table 45, so that when the roller groups are simultaneously rotated, a pallet 52 can be moved out in the conveying direction of the passage 1, at the completion of the stacking of the sheet members 2 on the table 45. Thereafter a fresh pallet 52 is supplied onto the table 45 from the roller group 50 that is provided below the downstream end portion 4.
Next, the operation of the inventive apparatus will be explained as follows: As shown in FIG. 3a, the motor 46 is so driven that the stop member 40 protrudes to an elevated position that is somewhat higher than the end portion 4 of the passage 1, and the motor 29 is so rotated that the frames 22 are moved to extend to a position where the space between the end portion 4 and the member 40 becomes nearly equal to the length of the sheet members 2. Then, the lifting member 41 is elevated so that the pallet 52, placed on the upper surface thereof, is positioned somewhat below the movable frames 22 of the downstream end portion 4.
With such a setting, the sheet members 2, supplied one after the other on the conveying passage 1, come consecutively to abut against the stop member 40 and are dropped into the space between the end portion 4 and the member 40, so that these sheets 2 are sequentially stacked in layers, forming a pile, on the pallet 52.
During this operation, the member 41 is gradually lowered in accordance with the number of the sheets stacked, and it is so controlled that the dropped position of the sheet members 2 is always constant. If the height of the stack of sheets 2 on pallet 52 reaches a predetermined height, as shown in FIG. 3b, the member 41 is again elevated, to a position somewhat below the frames 22, and at the same time these frames are retracted by a length nearly equal to the length of the sheet members 2, whereby these are conveyed, one after the other, on the passage 1, and are stacked at the new position on the pallet 52, adjoining the previously formed sheet stack or pile. In this case, each sheet 2 is dropped after the same hits the previous stack, and thus a second, and later a subsequent stack or pile is formed.
The above operation is repeated as shown in FIG. 3c, and when the pallet 52 is fully loaded with the sheet members 2, as shown in FIG. 3d, the table 45 is brought to a position nearly level with the base portions 42, and at about the same time, the stop member 40 is lowered to a position where the upper end thereof sinks below the base 42. Now the roller groups 49 to 51 are so rotated so that the pallet 52, after the stacking of the sheets 2, is moved in the conveying direction of the passage 1.
At the same time with the discharging of the pallet 52, a fresh pallet 52 is supplied on the roller group 50 onto the lifting member 41. Then, at the downstream end portion 4 of the conveying passage 1, the stop member 40 and the lifting member 41 repeat the foregoing operations for stacking the sheets thereon.
Thus, according to this invention, the downstream end portion of the conveying passage can be lengthened and shortened, and the stop means, which can be moved up and down, are provided so as to face the downstream end portion, and the lifting means, which can also be elevated and lowered, is provided between the downstream end portion and the stop means. Thus the sheet members can successively be stacked on the lifting means, and when the formation of a single lot or pile is completed, the next stack lot can be formed by shortening the downstream end portion and elevating the lifting means, without displacing the previously formed stack. Thus the stack of sheet members can be securely prevented from collapsing, and additionally the stacked sheets can be taken away in the conveying direction by making the stop member to retract, so that the stacking apparatus can be installed even in a narrow place.
It will of course be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the described apparatus, which will be self-evident and easily understood by the experts, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- "We want everyone to understand that we are trying to move this along in a time line that would have some type of decision prior to the end of this school year," said Joe Tinius, Bowling Green Independent School's Superintendent.
This decision is regarding the entire non-resident dispute as a whole. Bowling Green Independent Schools and Warren County Schools have been going back and forth on this for nearly a year. The most recent detail involves Bowling Green Schools filing a cross appeal to the one Warren County Schools filed in February.
"In their appeal, they only referenced current students and siblings of current students as far as attendance for the 2014-15 school year. As a result of that, we felt the necessity to file the cross appeal, in order to make sure that other students (who perhaps have an interest in attending Bowling Green Schools and reside in the Warren County School District) could have the opportunity to do that," said Joe Tinius, Bowling Green Independent School's Superintendent.
Tinius says a hearing officer has been assigned to the case, based on the Warren County appeal.
"We've already had one conversation and we will be having another conversation with the hearing officer. We plan to have our appeal ready to be filed, if not tomorrow, certainly on Thursday," said Joe Tinius, Bowling Green Independent School's Superintendent.
Once a copy is forwarded to Warren County Schools, a decision will be made regarding how both parties will proceed.
"How evidence will be submitted, whether there is a need for an additional hearing or whether briefs will be filed by both attorneys for review. All of that will be worked out after the hearing officer has a chance to look at both appeals and talk to both sides to determine the next steps in the process," said Joe Tinius, Bowling Green Independent School's Superintendent.
Tinius says he believes both school districts and the hearing officer, are committed to making a final overall decision by the end of this school year.

I dream inseparable of the coolest things around this is the occurrence that we won't be needing our 360 discs in the tray to show the games. I have a huge library of downloaded games (more or less thanks to GWG) but I also tease a elephantine accumulation of discs. It wish be gentlemanly to procure a digital copy of them in my Xbox One.
That would be entirely disappointing. It's to point they stopped asking us to do this when we're already unnatural to install. The X1 doesn't on games off the disc, and they're successful to troops us to download a digital version of our 360 games anyway. Why not ditch the disc requirement?

New York Olympians In London 2012 Summer Games: Equestrian (Part 2)
McLain Ward and Reed Kessler
Team USA
Today we finish our spotlight of New York Olympic equestrians with a rookie and a veteran in the sport. Both have had historic moments in the sport, one for his many victories both internationally and in the US and the other for being the youngest rider to make the Olympic Equestrian team.

McLain Ward, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, broke onto the show jumping scene at 14 years old when he won the US Federation Show Jumping Derby and the equitation medals finals; he was the youngest person to hold such a victory. Since then, he has gone on to compete in the world's most prestigious equestrian events. Ward's career has not been without it's challenges, however -- in 2010 he became embroiled in controversy after his mount, Sapphire, was eliminated from the World Cup for hypersensitivity in her left forelimb. Ward challenged the elimination and a legal battle ensued. He later agreed to not pursue extensive litigation. He was dealt another blow earlier this year when he shattered his knee while competing in the Surpass Grand Prix during the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival. His shattered kneecap left Ward unable to compete through the spring. After several months of recovery he returned to a remarkable victory in June when he won his seventh Grand Prix of Devon title.
Name: Reed Kessler
Age: 18
Olympic Event: Equestrian
Hometown: Armonk, NY
Reed Kessler has made history this year by being the youngest rider to make the US Olympic Equestrian Team. Despite her young age, Kessler has had major victories in the sport since 2009, including placing third in the National Show Jumping Championship, being named the female athlete of the month in March of this year by the US Olympic Committee and winning numerous cash-prizes in show jumping competitions both domestically and internationally. As expected of her tech-savvy generation, Kessler has been live-tweeting from the Olympics and if you want to keep up with all of the action during the equestrian events you can follow her: [at] ReedCat5000.

GM Stock Is Priced at $33
General Motors Co. GM 0.41 % priced its historic initial public offering at $33 per share, raising $20.1 billion in common and preferred stock in one of the largest U.S. stock offerings, according to people familiar with the deal.

GM Icons and Flops
Test Your GM Knowledge
After the market closed Wednesday, Wall Street underwriters set the price on 478 million common shares, with another 71.7 million expected to be sold if bankers exercise an overallotment option known as the green shoe.
The underwriters also boosted the size of a planned preferred stock offering to $4.4 billion, which could also be increased in the green shoe by another $650 million. If the decision is made in the next few days to exercise both overallotments, the deal could raise a total of $23.1 billion.
The deal grew in size over the past few weeks, driven by better-than-expected demand from U.S. mutual funds, according one person familiar with the deal.
Proceeds from the sale largely will go to the U.S. government, which owns 61% of GM after restructuring the car maker last year in bankruptcy court.
The auto maker has returned $9.5 billion of the $49.5 billion the U.S. spent to rescue GM last year. The Obama administration will seek to recoup the rest through the sale of stock over the next couple of years.
The U.S. Treasury, which has kept close tabs GM's operations since bailing out the auto maker last year, will reduce its oversight role after initial public offering on Thursday, people familiar with the matter said.
GM will continue briefings with Obama administration officials but will operate with less involvement with the government now that the U.S. Treasury's key job of executing the IPO has ended.
For more than a year, GM executives, including its CEOs, have briefed administration officials on the company's operations about every other week. Those meetings will continue but take place less frequently after the government's stake is reduced in the IPO, people familiar with the matter said.
Treasury hasn't driven decisions on GM's operations or strategy since the company emerged from bankruptcy, people familiar with the situation say. The Obama administration was more hands on when GM was in the restructuring process, but has vowed to stay out of the company's affairs since it emerged from bankruptcy last summer.
The government's rescue of GM has been a burden for the company in the market place because many consumers dislike the bailout. Some continue to view the company as "government motors." Some investors, meantime, have shied away from owning a company they think could face interference from the government
Meantime, Chinese auto maker SAIC Motor Corp. 600104 -2.23 % is awaiting Chinese government approval for its plan to buy about $500 million in shares as part of the IPO. That would give the Chinese company close to a 1% stake in GM.
SAIC is GM's main partner in making vehicles in China, which is now the largest market for GM cars and trucks.
The issue of foreign investors buying GM shares in the company's IPO is a thorny one for the U.S. Treasury, which worried about the political reaction if non-U.S. investors were allowed to acquire a significant stake in GM.
Some on Wall Street are concerned that GM and its banks may be overreaching, and that may crimp how much the stock rises in its first day of trading Thursday. Ordinarily, underwriters don't mind if a new stock issue rises 25% or more on its first day of trading, because the potential for such gains encourages money managers to buy shares.
But in the GM IPO, the underwriters are dealing with an unusual client: the U.S. Treasury. The government seeks to maximize how much it raises from the sale as it attempts to be paid back for its bailout.
The underwriters are targeting a first-day price gain of 10% to 20%, people familiar with their thinking said. If GM shares rise more than 20%, taxpayers might view it as a Wall Street giveaway to select investors.

I can enter boot Debian and Windows OSes, but no boot from CD or USB for recovery. How can I remove GRUb and restore MBR from within Windows XP or Debian?
NOTE: I asked this question before, but after accepting the answer, I found that Windows XP does not have

Best Movie at Cannes Film Festival! I've seen this movie 6 times in the theater, and each time I find something new to discover. BEAUTIFUL imagery and music. Now, this is not your ordinary grab-a-bag-of-popcorn movie, but one that will ask you to participate and THINK. I've sat next to sobbing conservative men, teenagers who talked about it for a week after as well as those who just didn't get it. Early in the film there is about a 20 min segment simulating the creation of the universe, (this is after Mrs. O'Brian asks "Where were you?"). Be patient and enjoy the music and imagery, or just fast forward to get back to the story if you don't want to partake.
My pet peeve is directors who hold a camera two feet from an actor's face. That causes the viewer to suffer. However, Malick takes it a step farther. He seems to be following the actors around with a hand held camera. Bad. The editing is choppy in an attempt, I guess, to save the bad filming. When Brad Pitt is in a movie, we want to see Brad Pitt. In this case, he's disguised which would not be so bad, but he flashes onto the screen in two second bursts. And who the woman is droning in a monotone sophomoric viewpoints about life, well, I have no idea.

Kudos the the Stranger for desuggesting this dismal event. It should be added, in support of the desuggesting, that for those of us in attendance to the party who did not pay for the dinner, there was another EGREGIOUS BIT OF TACKINESS:
Though I arrived at the party around 9 pm, the people who payed for dinner were STILL EATING and DRINKING thier BYOB's in their comfy seats while the handful of us who had shown up at the suggested hour for non-eaters had to STAND AROUND LIKE IMPOVERISHED LEPERS and watch everyone eat and drink. After being cutely lied to about the cost of admission, I had to hand over another five bucks to the "bartender" to get a dixie cup full of sickly rum punch just so I would have something to do.
The only thing to snack on was a pile of MAN HANDLED BEEF JERKY, which, while tasty, did no favors for the impoverished leper vegetarians around me.
what about the dj? does he advertise for sex on craigslist?
while you're at it, you should de-suggest last night's modest mouse show. i was really looking forward to seeing them, but the sound was awful and the performance lackluster. no one was into it, though everyone clearly wanted to be into it. lame.
I took up my colleagues, the Stranger arts staff on this event. Mainly, I went to see McCormick's piecewhich featured outstanding, super competent guitar pyschedelics like Brian Eno's 1973 Heavenly Music Corporation meets gorgeou-ioso elderly Sonic Youth. I didn't "get" or identify with McCormick's film images, but his musical composition was so good that I found myself enjoying/thinking about every new image as it glowed up on the screen.
As for Clear Cut's meandering (Rich Jensen) poetic, yet empty (Matthew Stadler's) announcements: I felt like I was witnessing the halting, inconclusive, vague conversations that they themselves must have been having privately (over way too many drinks?) that lacked mission or meaning on conclusion. Keep it private, guys. It was painful to watch because I respect both men for their past work. It seemed a humbling disintegration.
I too showed up mid-dinner, and was playfully/annoyingly "challenged" by Michael Hebberoy to "do whatever I want." I guess I should have gone and sat down and eaten the dinner I didn't pay for, but that would have felt like a slap to several of my friends who were there and had paid for the meal. I didn't want to insult my friends, who after all, had tipped me on the movie etc, but I wouldn't have cared less about offending the lame evening's curators.
You big babies! The pork-stuffed-pork, the vast array of delicious wine, and the amazing setting were easily worth $35. How many meals do you eat with accompaniment by DJ Masa? How often do you get to see a performance by one of the Northwest's best artists without leaving the dinner table? The company was fantastic, too. The talking was a little long and late (the architecture lecture wasn't actually cancelled, it happened around 11:30)and the "auction" was a little disorganized and poorly lit but, geesh. I agree that Clear Cut doesn't deserve an allowance "just because," but they've given us nine really good books. I'm willing to cross my fingers and take my chances on nine more, at least. Sure, dinner took too long, and it sounds like the folks who came and thought it would be over weren't treated so graciously - but you've got to give Clear Cut and Hebberoy some credit. Good or bad -it was a really special evening.
Just FYI, Matthijs Bouw did give a slide-talk, about his work in Tblisi, Georgia, that was very good. Of course, you might have hated it, had you stayed, but Matthijs described the attempts to plan a future in a 1700-year old city that has recently been taken over by Bush/Cheney-backed neo-liberals. Matthijs works there as a city planning consultant.
He discovered that the real site of civic discourse outside this hegemonic, culture-devouring economic machine, is at community dinners, powered by far too much drink and songs and toasts of the sort that might not scan well to the sober gate-keepers of Georgie's political future. These dinners can be a mess.
This is not a cute analogy to the evening you and I just spent together, but, really, I have never made anything that I meant to be cute. I hope those who stayed and talked to each other, or to me, got something out of the evening, and I hope those who read Clear Cut's books get something valuable out of them.
This is why you'll always be in promotions and never in curating.
I had a good time. It was a long evening. Matthijs Bouw did give his great, albeit somewhat jet-addled talk, pretty late. But, I plan on using bubble wrap as tablecloth from now on. Save for Annie Wagner, The Stranger posse kept to themselves and finished huddling in the cold, somewhere. I think though that I may have abused myself of too much of the BYOB that I didn't bring. I also have a fondness for parties in the Duwamish mud. An admirable feat, nonetheless, commendable to be the first ever The First-Ever De-Suggests!
I'm sorry I missed Mr. Bouw's lecture! (I'm also sorry it was bumped until 11:30 pm.)
"Just Sayin" @ 7--if you're going to stoop to a nasty little ad hominem comment on a commenter (my wife, as it happens) have the guts to sign your name so you can discredit yourself in the bargain.
Oooooh... "Just Sayin," you've been served!
It looks like the friends of the folks that put this on had a good time. Others, not so much.
Yes, I know, 11:30 is late for a Friday night, especially when you have to go home and write down your opinions. Didnt you have any opinion there, then? Things were pretty open, to say the least. I remember taking a couple questions and then I went to the bar and gave away champagne to whoever wanted it. Neither you nor the disappointed Josh Feit bothered to say or ask anything.
I love a good conversation, which is why I bother to say things in public, or stick around. Its dispiriting to deal with intelligent people, like you and Josh, who care enough to write these dismissals, but sit in silence and then leave. I guess you got what you needed.
"The show was a great success but the audience was a disaster."
I did not go to this event, but why should I believe The Stranger when in reality it's so insulated.
The Stranger bashes lots of events. This is not unique. The only uniqueness here is that they are sort of cutely un-suggesting it. But that's not really unique. It's still the same old pattern of insularity, along with the unwillingness to make contact, which is what, I believe, a fucking paper is supposed to do.
Okay, maybe it really wasn't that great. But nothing in the negative report explains that. What I want to know: was it warm? Were people being fucking fed? Did they have nice alcohol to put in their bellies? Did they have people to talk to? Did they get to see lectures? Did they get to see a film, and art?
What are you complaining about? I mean if it was fucking cold, I would understand, but to a fucking homeless person it sounds like everything that is right.
This is petty to "de-suggest" something. Maybe not everything was to your liking, but the evening had a lot of good things about it. The space was great, cool DJ, the food was yummy (the $35 also had to include setting up a dinner in a raw space, not just the food), and I enjoyed the film and the musical performance that went with it.
They were trying to do something different and unusual, sorry it wasn't cool enough for you.
How often do you go to an event in Seattle where complete strangers sit down and behave like friends before they're even drunk? (and i'm a native - not one of those bitter transplants who complain about Seattle ice because they can't get a girl's phone number). One thing is for sure, though -- after draining each other's bottles of wine, i forgot to listen to a goddamn thing those Clear Cut guys said.
Hey, whoa. This event was eh, and spendy. This is not our fault. This does not mean we hate anyone. This does not mean we all have the same opinions.
This does mean, for me, the following:
I do not like paying $35 for asparagus, lettuce, artichokes, and croutons. (True, I could have had beets, but I hate beets. It is a shortcoming of mine.)
I also do not like being told that everything will unfold in a communal way, and then being held hostage by organizers who, for whatever reason, on that particular night seem to have no sense of timing.
To the fools who weren't there: We brought our own wine. It was BYOB. Yes, it was delicious. My wine that I brought and other people's wines that they brought -- all delicious, and all not part of the $35 cover charge.
Now. Had I not paid $35, I might have been more willing to give money to Clear Cut Press. That also would have been more likely if the person behind Clear Cut Press, Matthew Stadler, hadn't just resigned in front of me. In what was, I might add, a very long and rambling section of the program.
In general, I like hearing Matthew talk (I especially like his questions and interjections about events while they are going on; anyone who was at the Vancouver lecture at the Henry a few weeks ago will know what I mean). I am sorry I grew tired after 11:30; this is my own weakness. I also must admit that at that point, I worried that any future speeches/lectures/whatevers would be of approximately the same value as the $35 artichoke-lettuce-asparagus-beets serving, or as a rambling announcement with a somewhat sad ending.
I loved Matt McCormick's performance. Adored it. I loved the atmosphere in the building. I loved the people who sat on my right and across from me, neither of whom work at this publication. They were great. The conversation was great. Everything not controlled by the event's several organizers was great. The bubble wrap tablecloth was a lovely idea, but I didn't like being scolded for doing with it what seemed to be meant to be done. But that is a minor quibble.
The fact is, nobody is taking to the streets. But Brendan--who is editor of Suggests, it should be added, and therefore feels responsible for it and accountable--is absolutely right that this party never quite took off. And I am out 35 bucks, which might just piss off a homeless person, Justin Dobbs.
Hey, and I met Cody at the dinner. What a friendly native. No phone number, but then, as I think I mentioned, I'm married.
And I also had nice conversations with strangersbut people have nice conversations with strangers all the time. At hundreds of parties and bars and street corners across the city. That doesn't require (or justify) a special event.
Also: The point of the whole De-Suggests thing is apologize to readers, like the first commenter and explain why we're apologizingnot to slap anybody. Every week when we edit Suggests, we have to cut some events to make room for others. If I could go back in time and re-edit Suggests, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have let this event stand.
#7 and #10: We have a problem -- SHE'S MY WIFE TOO!
you are all a bunch of bores who should never be invited to a dinner party in the first place. You would've spent the 35 bucks on bad pot, and sat on your beanbag chairs, talking about the opera you are going to write.
And believe me, that opera is gonna be BAD.
Uh, oh, not Emily White. You don't want to get her started. . . . .
I just feel lucky you guys haven't been to a REALLY bad Clear Cut event.
And to Brendan, I don't know what made you think we'd do a bunch of weird arty shit with your money, I mean, any weirder and artier than use it to publish [really good] books.
Can we quit with the insults? I'm not a baby, I don't smoke pot, don't own a beanbag chair, don't plan to write an opera (though, ahem, I think Josh Feit has already done that, and if you think it's bad you should just deliver that irrelevant opinion to his face). I also didn't need an event to learn Clear Cut was changing hands--a press release would have done quite adequately--but I wouldn't have wanted to miss Matt McCormick's movie, which I've been wanting to see since it premiered in Portland a month or two ago. The event was not perfectly executed, and we all know it. Pipe down.
What? A Slog with no insults? Are you MAD?!
And Annie, besides Matt's performance, there's that painting you encountered and bought. Not a 'press release' activity. And there was that remarkably witty and cogent report on Tbilisi from Matthijs Bouw, whose How to Be an Architect in North Pacific America (or any place in the world) will be out from the press next year.
Anyhoo, the press isn't changing hands. I've been providing an equal share of rhetoric, strategy and labor from before the get-go. All the kind things said, and great expectations lofted, over the work so far have given me the whiff of confidence I need to continue despite Matthew's return to an intensive regime of writing fiction.
For me, Friday was about opening that incredible old derelict factory to new circulation, then, finding out what Heberroy was about with his One Pot, then, taking advantage of Matthew and Matthijs's being in Seattle, and doing an event with Masa (one of Seattle music's secret godparents of the last twenty years), and getting to see Matt Mc McCormicks newest work, and maybe raising some money for the press out of what remains from the series of gouaches we commissioned from Michael Brophy in 2003. Meanwhile, it was (is) time to get going again. So we did.
The second series (of six books plus a surprise or two) is scheduled to include new books from Bruce Benderson, Stacey Doris, Emily White, Danielle Dutton, & Matthijs Bouw. Folks can subscribe to the new series in the morning at www.clearcutpress.com or by sending their $65 payment to Clear Cut Press PO Box 17377, Portland OR 97217.
One of the things I found peculiar about the evening was that about 10% of the attendees were Stranger writers. On the basis of that symptom alone, of course, I accept that something somewhere must have been seriously out of whack and this, historic, de-Suggestion-ing is, in fact, a gesture of exquisite institutional grace and restraint.
Just a note to say that I'm posting a related comment six items up, where Annie has slogged about the bad time she had. So many broken hearts.
I feel like I did the time in 1995 when two of my friends who didn't know one another came to town at the same time - Shannon had just found Jesus, but in the most cool way possible, if a psychotic delusion (I mean that in the best sense and as one guilty no doubt of same, at least for my 14 years of Seattle-worship and probably still) can be cool. Dave was still young and hyper and too smart and tense as a whip. I had seven espressos and took them to the top of the Space Needle. Just about the time I was starting to trip and shake, Shannon looked at the moon and told us how her little nephew that week in Denver had pointed up at the moon and said, "That's the moon. God made the moon." Then Dave said, "I think that's like in the Middle Ages when they stuffed people into barrels and cut a hole in the top and shoved a sword through to see if their soul would come out the hole." Calm was only restored when I ordered that big ice cream dessert with the dry ice in the bottom that sends a veil of smoke out down the sides of the tablecloth and onto the floor.
I missed the One Pot dinner because I was as sick as I have ever been in my life. Watch your immune systems, people, because that shit nearly killed me and I am not exaggerating. And Rich Jensen is a coy and cute emcee but has probably read more books than Harold Bloom, for Pete's sake.
super exciting - so much passion.
my only question to the stranger seems to be the same thing they are presently wondering - why did you give it a pick? it was a strange strange event, advertised as such - there were no surprises - it was less warm than ideal - but it seems hyping odd freakish events like will only cause an unneccesary breakdown in the expectation vs actual experience catagory, and makes it much harder to actually in fact be in the space - present - at the event. i am just sad the critics in the audience had to be there wearing their critical hats - it seemed that most people had a kind of remarkable time...
but it seems silly to make such a big deal out of de-suggesting - it seems you guys misread the writing on the wall - your fault - not ours - no one asked for a pick - i was shocked - and then we just went ahead and did what we said we would do - and it was damn pretty and nicely surreal.
The critics played their parts brilliantly!
How about an occasional Suggests Postmortem, where Stranger staff grade the prior week's suggested events? Good excuse to expense the tickets, too..

I'm not a huge fan of The Burg (Williamsburg hipsters mocking Williamsburg hipsters is a little too too), but this episode, about the quest to find a new bar that is teetering on the precipice of coolness, a place that "will be really popular but not before we've outgrown it," is pretty funny.

Japanese encephalitis is a viral disease. It is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia, with up to 50,000 cases reported each year. The death rate among persons with symptoms of Japanese encephalitis is 30%, with another 30% having serious neurological complications. However, the risk for most travelers is very low, with fewer than 1 case per million travelers. However, rates increase for those staying for prolonged periods in areas where Japanese encephalitis is common.
Japanese encephalitis is transmitted by infected mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a human, the virus is transferred. In addition, wading birds and pigs can be infected and also transfer the virus back to mosquitoes when bitten by a mosquito. Japanese encephalitis transmission occurs mainly in agricultural and rural areas, especially during summer and fall when conditions result in large amounts of standing water.
Most human infections with Japanese encephalitis do not have symptoms. However, a small percentage of those infected develop a sudden fever, headache, and vomiting about 5 to 15 days after infection. These symptoms are followed by mental status changes, neurological changes, weakness, and movement disorders. Seizures are also common, especially among children. There is no specific treatment for Japanese encephalitis. Therapy mainly consists of supportive care and management of complications. The primary public health approaches to JE prevention is through vaccination and the use of other protective measures in at-risk populations.
Currently, there is only one FDA-approved Japanese encephalitis vaccine. It is recommended for use in persons 2 months of age and older.
Product: Ixiaro® (Inactivated Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine)
Manufacturer: Intercell Biomedical
Year licensed: 2009

Individuals deploying to areas in PACOM should be administered the JE vaccine in accordance with the latest PACOM Force Health Protection guidance. Laboratory workers with potential exposure to infectious JE virus should also be vaccinated.
JE vaccination is highly recommended for Service members, DOD civilians, and beneficiaries who are stationed or who visit for more than 30 days in endemic areas. This includes those who would be based in urban areas, but likely to visit endemic rural or agricultural areas during a high-risk period of JE transmission.
JE vaccination is also recommended for Service members and beneficiaries traveling outside urban areas or who have an increased risk of exposure due to extensive outdoor activities; to an area with an ongoing JE outbreak; to endemic areas or who are uncertain about specific destinations, activities, or duration of travel.

Is something going on with PeeWee Football brass?
Posted in the Pocahontas Forum
#1 Nov 9, 2010
I heard a few things and u know how that goes, that debts were not getting paid and only one person handles the money.
#2 Nov 9, 2010
Heard that there may not be a trophy night for the kids. Don't think this is going to go over well with the kids or the parents.
#3 Nov 9, 2010
Doesn't the money each child pays at beginning of yr help pay for insurance, refs, trophies, etc. Where did all the money go?
United States
#4 Nov 9, 2010
Hmmm.... the trophies from last year still haven't been paid for.... truth is that the insurance was never purchased for the current year so therefore no players had coverage.... why is it that we can't get answeres to these questions????
United States
#5 Nov 10, 2010
Have any of you Bozos bitching about the Pee Wee Football League money ever called or visited the League officials? Have you ever asked questions of anyone other than other Bozos on Topix?
If you don't like the way things are being handled by the current officials, get off your lazy asses and DO SOMETHING YOURSELVES. Get involved!
Organize a parent group and investigate for yourselves what happened to the money. Take control of the League yourselves and do things the way they're supposed to be done.
Don't just sit in front of a computer monitor and bitch and moan.
#6 Nov 10, 2010
By the way I coached Pee Wee years ago, we had officers and a board. I think you are fixing to see some folks get involved. There was probably at least $10,000 paid in entry fees or more plus admission charged at gate each week. There is only one person who handles the deposits. It's time to look at those deposits and see where the money has gone. Shouldn't be too hard to do. The young man doing the clean up all season after the pee wee games has not been paid at all, don't know if the insurance was bought or not, shouldn't be too hard to find that out either, if trophies are not being bought then where has all the money gone? What are the expenses? refs do not get that much. I do not have kids playing now but if I was involved I sure would be finding out. Are there no officers? How many names are on league accounts? This is not even including the money paid by the cheerleaders.

So is he taking the money?
#10 Nov 10, 2010
Very good question. I am anxious to hear the answer.
#11 Nov 11, 2010
I wouldn't think so, but we just need an explanation and some proof as to where the money went. When we paid these entry fees we thought we would have insurance and awards. I think the coaches should get together and get to the bottom and get some kind of explanation or my kids won't be participating!
#12 Nov 11, 2010
if my kid dont get a trophy i will shove a bag of corn chips up wesleys a$$ just to start
#13 Nov 13, 2010
Anybody else know if they got to the bottom of this? When is trophy night?
Waterloo, Canada
#14 Nov 14, 2010
Dec 5th. 3:00. Nothing but lies.
#15 Nov 14, 2010
Doesnt this PeeWee Program have officers or commissioners? If so, could someone please give names? Is this a part of the city or school sponsored? I would have thought others would have been right on top of that unless its a one man show.
United States
#16 Nov 29, 2010
Pee Wee Football used to have by-laws and rules, had commissioners, treasurer that gave report at every meeting. What happened to all of that? I hear he has fessed up and is paying the money back and paying for trophies that have not been paid for in past. The coaches and any other "officials" should take some of the blame for this for allowing this person to have all the control of the money with no one to be accountable to.
#17 Nov 29, 2010
that seems to be a problem in alot of sports in this town.My boys didn't recieve trophy's for baseball either..not enough money...
United States
#18 Nov 29, 2010
Is it a non-profit organizatio or what is it considered? Has anybody thought about asking the prosecutor to open up an investigation into any possible wrong doing? If this money is collected and it's not accounted for then there needs to be some explaining. Proper paperwork should be kept to include all incoming money and expenses. Something definately stinks about this whole situation and somebody needs to start giving answers, showing where the money is at, or face prosecution.
#19 Nov 29, 2010
baseball had a trophy night it was 7-29-10 somebody didnt tell u id ask ur coach
#20 Nov 29, 2010
