The era of Utah's tiny bandbox high-school gymnasium is almost over.
These days, the gym is often one of the newest and nicest buildings in Utah's small towns, a gathering place for all sorts of community events. At the bigger urban high schools where the facilities serve many functions and teams, most are sprawling complexes of hardwood floors and lines. At a given moment, you might have a wrestling meet, a basketball practice and a drill team workout going on in different areas of the same building.
Long gone are classic prep palaces at schools such as Jordan, Bingham, Olympus, South, West and East. The old gym at Tintic in Eureka once had sidelines so narrow that the scorers table was in a hanging balcony. To check in, players had to pull a string with a bell on it. The building at Granite, with its bouncy hardwood floor reportedly built on giant springs, remains, but is seldom used now that the school has closed.
One such gym still hosts dozens of events. On a recent rainy December Tuesday evening, I wandered up to Salt Lake City's east side to watch the Judge Bulldogs' boys team take on Riverton in one of the last classic Utah gyms. The place holds many memories because, as a kid, I often played there.
Stan Finn, longtime scorekeeper for the Bulldogs, told me the cinder-block building with the metal beams holding up its roof opened in 1960. Though the bleachers have been updated slightly and the building that seats about 1,500 has been repainted numerous times, it has changed little.
The small balcony remains, its metal posts covered by pads. Banners celebrating Judge's athletic successes hang from the rafters. A banner listing the times the boys played in the prestigious Alhambra Catholic Invitational Tournament holds a prominent wall display.
As a kid, I played Catholic Youth Organization hoops on this floor. I also can brag to being one of the few boys to play a game in the old St. Mary of the Wasatch Catholic girls school on 1300 S. 3000 East before it closed in 1970. There weren't many Catholic school elementary gyms back in the 1960s. Finn said the Judge gym remains busy most Saturdays and Sundays hosting Catholic league games.
I have to confess to never caring for the Judge gym. Its backboards and rims were less forgiving than the ones at the Mormon ward houses where I joined my buddies to practice. The lighting wasn't the best, and the locker rooms were tiny and cramped.
Few gyms are this loud. Even on a night when the stands are just more than half full, the place is mind-numbingly noisy. The rowdy student section gives the Bulldogs a distinct advantage. Finn said the gym has a new sound system, but you could have fooled me. The acoustics in this place make EnergySolutions Arena seem like Carnegie Hall.
I'd hate to be a referee there. Fans are right on top of the action, and the refs can hear just about everything. It's an intense place.
Finn said the home-court advantage here is real. Taller teams can't take advantage of their height because the floor is a little smaller than most.
The gym maintains a certain rustic charm. But it isn't large enough to accommodate Judge's fine girls and boys basketball teams, which play home games there but alternate practice there and at the old Westminster College gym. It bears the imprint of now-retired boys coach Jim Yerkovich, who retired in 2010 after 44 years at the school. His signature "WE" concept remains honored by players wearing uniforms with that word on the back instead of their names.
Most Utah prep gymnasiums these days serve as practical multipurpose facilities, often with a certain sameness about them. Many schools once boasted facilities that looked just like Judge's. These days, Judge's home floor is a rarity.

UTEP Takes Out Nebraska, 68-52, To Claim WestStar Bank Don Haskins Center Sun Bowl Invitational
ABC-7 Sports Director Paul Cicala brings you all the in-depth hilites from El Paso's holiday basketball tournament
UTEP scored the game's first 13 points and never looked back on the way to downing Big 10 member Nebraska, 68-52, to take home the title in the WestStar Bank Don Haskins Center Sun Bowl Invitational Sunday evening.
The Miners (6-5), who led the Cornhuskers (8-4) by 20 at the half (36-16), used an all-around effort to notch their first tournament crown since 2009 and 29th all time at the event.
Konner Tucker and Jacques Streeter each scored 17 points to lead the way for UTEP, which has won three straight and five of six to climb above the .500 mark the second time this season. The Miners, who were 1-0 after routing Oral Roberts, 69-49, in the season opener on Nov. 9, improve to 6-1 in El Paso this year.
UTEP connected on 47.2 percent from the floor (25-of-53), won the rebounding battle for the second straight game (36-32) and did a good job of varying its defense to keep the visitors from getting into a good flow on offense.
Nebraska, which shot a season-best 57 percent while producing its highest scoring output since 2009-10 in a 89-75 victory against Central Michigan to open the tournament, couldn't find any sort of offensive flow against the Miners.
The Cornhuskers shot just 37.3 in the game (19-of-51), including a paltry 23.1 percent (6-26) during the dismal first half.
"This was our best game of the year," UTEP assistant head coach Greg Foster said."I thought John Bohannon was great with his 11 rebounds, and obviously Konner Tucker and Jacques Streeter had big games. Nebraska made some runs but we withstood them, and I'm very proud of our guys."
Tucker was voted as the tournament MVP while Streeter landed on the all-tournament team and John Bohannon earned the Don Haskins Center award after scoring 24 points and grabbing 19 rebounds in the tournament. The honor goes to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of the late Don Haskins.
Ten different Miners scored in the game, with Streeter and Tucker being buoyed by Bohannon with seven points. Julian Washburn pitched in six while also grabbing four rebounds.
McKenzie Moore secured five boards, while Cedrick Lang and both Washburn brothers had four.
UTEP hit eight triples, one shy of its season-best nine, while taking good care of the ball with 12 assists compared to 11 turnovers. The Miners pounded the Cornhuskers in the paint, 30-18, and enjoyed a 17-7 cushion in points from the bench.
Tucker helped UTEP set the tone early, scoring eight points and assisting on a Streeter triple during the aforementioned 13-0 run at the onset of the contest. The Cornhuskers finally got on the board with a lay-up from Mike Peltz with 13:33 to play in the first half but it was immediately answered from a lay-up by Chris Washburn.
Nebraska continued to battle as the half wore on, whittling the deficit down to single digits on a couple of occasions. UTEP had an answer every time, though, and it closed the period on a 14-3 run to secure the 20-point advantage at the break.
It was more of the same in the second stanza, with the Cornhuskers unable to ever truly get back into the game. The Miners never let them get within single digits, putting it on cruise control down the stretch.
UTEP will take a holiday break before wrapping up a season-long seven-game homestand with an exhibition contest against Cameron at 8 p.m. MST on Dec. 28. UTEP will then close out non-conference play at Colorado State (8 p.m. MST, Jan. 2).

Fiji leader Frank Bainimarama wanted to the world to know that he overthrew the illegal government in the name of freedom and democracy because how else could one allow an illegal government to function? He told Australian and New Zealand leaders to stay out of his business because he is from Fiji and they are not. He was particularly upset that three Australian judges decided the existing government of Fiji which Baininmarama supports was in reality an illegally positioned government. "According to the Fiji leader who supports democracy, what the Australian judges "wanted was to force us into elections!"
Frank had some frank words to the media of Fiji and warned them to avoid printing stories "which are irritating and dark about our service in the past and damaging our reputation." The last thing a democracy needs is media which reports about the dark past of politicians.

96 Regal Gran Sport
1996 Buick Regal Gran Sport model
It's the four-door sedan with the Grand Touring Suspension package. It's front wheel drive, Second Generation 3800 V6, auto, leather, power windows/ locks/ drivers seat/ mirrors, rear window defrost, cruise, factor chrome 16" wheels, low mile Toyo touring tires, two tone exterior paint, dual climate, concert series sound system (am/fm premium speakers cassette, steering wheel controls), chrome spoiler and luggage rack, dual air-bags, aftermarket alarm and remote start, also have factor remote for locks.
Car is in great condition both visually, and mechanically. I've done a lot to the car over the winter as I didn't have intentions of getting rid of it, including new water pump, and radiator, new Bosch plug wires, and some other things. In the last year (roughly) it's got all new tires, brakes - pads/rotors, alternator, battery and new rear struts, pass side rear wheel bearing also replaced.... There have been very low amount of miles put on car sinse most of this work has been done. I am second owner, and actually, my grandmother was the original. It's has been mainly garage kept. Defects that I know of: cassette doesn't work, all rest of stereo works perfectly though, has your typical door dings on the pass. side - none damaged the paint though, a couple of very small scratches on front bumper, a couple very very small flaws on the hood, almost not noticeable, and almost 136k miles. It was driven down south several times! The only other thing I can think of is the ABS is not functioning right now. When I had the rear struts replaced, what I've been told is that the ABS needed to be disconnected and upon reconning the system, it needs to be reprogrammed with a computer which has not been done. It actually affects the ABS and the traction control. Should be a very simple fix though... I may even take it somewhere and get this taken care of in the next couple days if I have time.
I have the car for sale locally, I'm considdering Ebay, and it'll be in the local paper this week. I'm asking $3900 and I may considder offers if reasonable. I'd like to sell locally that way, you can check out the car for yourself and of course there won't be a shipping or delivery issue. That may be flexible though if you'd like to try and work something out.
Contact me either on this forum or by email at email@example.com. I can give you my number then and we'll talk. BTW, I'm located in Toledo, Ohio.
Thanks for looking!!

Jolee Henkel '15 Works to Map Carbon Footprint of Stevens County
Posted by Jayce Koester '16, Center for Small Towns on Friday, Feb. 15, 2013
Jolee Henkel '15, Clara City, has been working for the past year with the Center for Small Towns (CST) to help create a comprehensive breakdown of Stevens County's carbon footprint. She and CST have undertaken the project in partnership with Stevens FORWARD!, a nonprofit agency focused on creating a brighter future for members of Stevens County. This will be the first study of Stevens County's carbon footprint ever completed.
Using census data, surveys, local business information, and waste analysis, Henkel began the study by compiling the county's emissions in the categories of travel, household emissions, waste, food, and agriculture. She will now combine the information from each category to create a clear and inclusive image of Stevens County's carbon footprint. By 2015 Henkel hopes to create a comprehensive assessment of what Stevens County is emitting and propose actions that could help lower its total carbon footprint. She is excited about the impacts a project of this magnitude could have on education and awareness in the local area.
Stevens FORWARD! is an organization determined to create a brighter future for all residents of the county community: Alberta, Chokio, Donnelly, Hancock, and Morris. Funded through a variety of public and private sources including the county, the five cities, the townships, the University of Minnesota, Morris, financial institutions, and other local businesses, this initiative represents a genuine spirit of partnership and collaboration, claiming that "Stevens County will be the model community in rural Minnesota, recognized for our progressive development and our innovations: renewable energy, agriculture, business, and education. We will achieve this by building upon the intellectual and social capital already present within the county and by attracting new and diverse talent that will drive our economy and increase our population."
The Center for Small Towns is a community outreach program housed at the University of Minnesota, Morris and serves as a point-of-entry to the resources of the University of Minnesota. Small towns, local units of government, k-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and other University units are able to utilize the Center's resources as they work on rural issues or make contributions to rural society. Their mission is to focus the University's attention and marshal its resources toward assisting Minnesota's small towns with locally identified issues by creating applied learning opportunities for faculty and students.

About Other Washington
A few other appellations in Washington include:
Puget Sound, which grows some lesser-known grapes like Muller-Thurgau and Madeleine Angevine, is less known for quality wines and better liked for being a tourist attraction.
Red Mountainsub-appellation runs along the eastern part of Yakima Valley. It's best for red varietals and is constantly growing in quality and popularity.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

This isn't some criminal case that a DA presents to a grand jury, we're at war. When you're at war,YOU KILL THE ENEMY! Good job President Obama!!!
when a country begins to justify breaking it's own laws....for the good of the people/country, where might this lead?
Constitution is a framework for our laws, not the modern day statutes.
no one supports killing early and often more than i do. i have to say that i am amazed that so many people are perfectly fine with this, though. guess my biggest question is not why was it done. i know we have done this stuff before. why was it done so publicly? was it to be able to take credit publicly? no doubt thats part of it. was it to test public opinion on execution of American citizens? well, if that was it, we did not disappoint, did we?
wow. i can't say much more without repeating myself again....which at my age, i do a lot anyway :-)maybe i wasn't clear so i'll try one more time.we have a constitution. it is the law of the land. it gives citizens certain protections FROM the government. 1. these were US citizens2. despite what they have done, they were not charged with a crime.3. this same government thought it was very important to extend constitutional rights to non-citizen terrorists.so, removing the emotion from the situation, and acknowledging that these were really bad guys who needed to be dead. also acknowledging that our government has assassinated citizens before....why did they not charge these guys? why did they not revoke their citizenship? why did they publicly announce that they were going to execute them? having done it, why did they publicly take credit for it?when a country begins to justify breaking it's own laws....for the good of the people/country, where might this lead? consider that many of us have been declared potential/actual terrorists. i must be on every single DHS list that exists. so are are many of you. it should give us all pause when something like this happens and everyone thinks it's ok....because these were really, really, bad guys.
For the same reason I opposed lack of due process during Bush years
He's was a traitor as a US citizen and now he's dead. What's there left to discuss?

Will the iPhone 6, to be announced on September 9, have NFC and a Sapphire Crystal display?
What about the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4, to be announced at Unpacked on September 3? And will the new Nokia Lumia 730 (a.k.a Superman), to be announced on September 4, have a 5-Megapixel rear-facing camera?
This week's scheduled launch events from Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Motorola, LG, and Apple will cause lots of comparison about device features – with about 15 new devices to be launched along the IFA show in Berlin.
It simply does not matter.
Forrester made the call that competition shifted from devices to ecosystems about two years ago. New devices are simply vehicles for increasing the value of the entire digital relationship across a rich digital platform.
As my colleague Frank Gillett puts it, "Samsung's challenge is to establish an enduring relationship with customers, rather than being an interchangeable Android device maker – and it will take more than a new Galaxy Note to do that."

Local styles grace the runway in Nashua
By BARBARA TAORMINA
Union Leader Correspondent | November 03. 2013 10:28PM
Kaitlin Girard strikes a pose in a ruffled-lace grown featured at Nashua Community College's fashion show. (Barbara Taormina)
Student volunteer Andrea Sword models a new style from Maaxeed, an online dress shop, at Nashua Community College's fashion show. (Barbara Taormina)
Sponsored by the Visual Arts Club, the show was an opportunity for students to promote styles and clothing from area shops and designers and give local businesses a boost before the busy holiday shopping season.
The models showed off a wide variety of day and evening wear on a makeshift runway in a lecture hall.
Student Nick Frasca, who helped run the event, said that, for men, the Nashua look boiled down to jeans and a plaid shirt.
"You can add a little polish with some bright colors, a scarf and maybe some nice jewelry," she said.
The audience was especially impressed with a funky full-length white lace ruffled dressed topped by a blue knit bodice modeled by Kaitlin Girard.

I figured since it's been a while since I've had a build/showoff thread, I'd post my newest build. As you may have read in Stormtrooperguy's thread, I had gone to his place and made a set of resin gauntlets off of the molds he made using the Wizard of Flight plans. It was a fun experience as I've never molded anything in resin before. Brian did an exceptional job with the molds and I couldn't be happier with the results.
I guess I should have been posting these all along instead of all at once but you get the same idea.
Step 1: Basic trimming and sanding completed and the hinges installed.
Step 2: Plumbing and Air Fitting parts installed and kit primered
Here's the air hose fitting that I found. Only found it at Sears Hardware as The Home Depot and True Value didn't have anything even remotely close.
Step 3: Added the closer attachments on the inside of the gauntlets and bolted on the flame thrower housing
Step 4: Painted them silver/aluminum and then installed the lights for inside the flame thrower
Here's the flame thrower nozzle pieces from Radio Shack:
And here's the pushbuttons I used. Don't make the same mistake I did... make sure you buy the one's marked "normally closed" or else you'll have the lights constantly on until you press the buttons.
Step 5: Installed the red lamp on the right gauntlet
Step 6: Masked off damage areas with liquid masking fluid and painter's tape.
Step 7: 1 coat of flat black
Step 8: Sprayed coat of Claret Wine and began to pull off the masking:
Step 9: Painted up the aluminum rocket
Step 10: Rocket attached to the gauntlet. (Photographed in natural lighting)
Next up...
- painting the calc pad buttons
- sanding the gaunlets lightly with a number zero steel wool to tone down the claret wine
- installing the switches to both gauntlets
- little more black weathering
- flat, clear coat

State budget cuts have prompted UCLA's Anderson School MBA program to reject public money in favor of private donations and higher tuition. Supporters call it a way to save needier programs that cannot be self-sufficient. Opponents say it's part of a trend away from public funding of higher education. Also, debris from last year's Japanese tsunami is washing up in Canada, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. On Friday, monitors began work at beaches here in Southern California. What have they found so far? How do they know if it's really the result of that tragic disaster? On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, public unions and Democrats: a rift between friends?

AUDIO: Andre Thornton to throw out first pitch
(Cleveland) - Former Tribe slugger Andre Thornton, a four-time All-Star and Indians Hall of Famer, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the game tonight.
Thornton calls it "an honor and a privilege" to participate. He calls it an exciting night for Cleveland.
As for advice for the players? Thornton says they should "keep doing what you're doing". Thornton admits none of the teams he played on made it to this level.
Thorton thinks it's a resilient team that plays well together, even when times got tough.
Thornton talked about the honor and the 2013 Indians with WTAM's Darren Toms:

So... I didn't realize that the Koto statues got hit with a shrink ray! I just got my Art-FX Rex, and he barely comes up to Boba's waist!
He's about the size of a Hasbro Unleashed.
With a $60 retail tag, that's CRAZY TALK!
Thankfully I only paid $20. It's a nice sculpt, but so small!!

Ebola virus has been found in African monkeys, chimps and other nonhuman primates. A milder strain of Ebola has been discovered in monkeys and pigs in the Philippines. Marburg virus has been found in monkeys, chimps and fruit bats in Africa.
Experts suspect that both viruses are transmitted to humans through an infected animal's bodily fluids. Examples include:
Infected people typically don't become contagious until they develop symptoms. Family members are often infected as they care for sick relatives or prepare the dead for burial.
Medical personnel can be infected if they don't use protective gear, such as surgical masks and gloves. Medical centers in Africa are often so poor that they must reuse needles and syringes. Some of the worst Ebola epidemics have occurred because contaminated injection equipment wasn't sterilized between uses.
There's no evidence that Ebola virus or Marburg virus can be spread via insect bites.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
It might have been a small factor, but the new strap is definitely much tighter.
With the toe strap on the front position, the right side would skip much less than the left side. With the toe strap moved back, it hasnt changed on the right side (still skips unless i hold the front of the clip), but that is manageable.
The warranty returned strap however, doesnt matter what i do, it just grips and grips. Havent had it slip once yet.
And after a day out on the snow, i can confirm that i am happy with the bindings again. Still not the easiest to put on, due to the curvature of the ankle strap etc (definitely have to sit down to do them), but they are comfy, and have just the right amount of flex for me. Also changed my stance to +15/-15 and no longer have sore knees.
For the boots, i took out the insole of the right side, and used some thin suit socks instead of sports socks, and no more pain there. As that side pads out I can put the insole back in, and then also eventually move to thicker socks.

Ok update time. As i said I brought the left binding back to the shop for warranty, and i got them back just now. Burton replaced the toe-strap (both the cap and the ladder/tongue), and the shop also made some adjustments to show how they should be for my size boots (mounted the toe strap to the back mounting position so its leaning more forward than up)
Night and Day. The new toe strap doesnt skip at ALL anymore. To the point where its actually a bit catchy taking it off, but I dont mind that at all. Its to the point that the right side toe strap now feels a bit skippy (since that is only done up twice a day i am not so worried about taking time on that side)
Also turned out my gas pedal was out too far (under toe pad) so I now have them mounted on my board with proper setup, and they feel much better.
I want to thank everyone that contributed on this thread, especially BurtonBindings - not sure if you said something to the Japanese warranty team, but they gave me a much better one in return. Looking forward to trying them out tomorrow!
Ok disregarding the part about me twisting the buckle (because i can guarantee that i am holding it straight, it is only by 'twisting it' that i can get it to engage), can you explain more about the mis-adjustment of the toe slider and/or the position of the tongue & slider of the baseplate?
I have not made any any adjustments to the mounting points of the straps; I have only extended the straps a single hole so that they seem 'centred' when looking down at the top of my boot.
Some previous posters suggested looking up youtube for instructions on setting up these other adjustments, but i did not see anything that related to the 2012/13 Mission Restricteds
I also couldnt find a single bit of info about this supposedly reversible ankle strap. How do i reverse it? Left side strap flipped and used on the right side? Just flipped to the other side of the same binding?
Also another point after re-reading some of the previous comments; is it possible to get the toe-strap from a Cartel/Malavita/high end boot and fit it to the Missions? Can you buy spare parts like that? I figure i would only want it on the strap that gets the most abuse - my left-side toe strap
the misalignment is due to mis adjustment of the toe slider and / or the position of the tongue and slider of the baseplate as it relates to the boot shape and size.
it's also compounded by the user twisting the buckle during use, sending a pitch into the system which make the buckle teeth drive into the one side of the tongue.
it can be compensated for by using a stiffer TPU, but the tongues would break more often because people habitually step on them.
Trust me when i say this having the Smooth Glide buckle being around for a decade; if Jake or our team felt it was fundamentally flawed; I wouldn't be making bindings for them.

It might be hard to see from the picture i put up, but it was off at an angle compared to the strap sleeve. In order for it to have any traction, i actually had to twist it the other way, while applying a fair amount of pressure to the front of the ratchet. Simply applying pressure straight down was not enough.
But the shop assistant agreed with me, and he had a very hard time ratcheting it down as well, which is why it is off for warranty repairs at the moment. Its a pity that they werent one of the privileged shops to get spare parts, because now i am left hoping they can get the binding back before the weekend.
What happens is as you ratchet the toe strap the cap tightens and conforms to the toe of the boot. This creates a misalignment of the ratchet and ladder (or tongue as its referred to by BurtonBindings), and thus you have the skipping. So you can't really ever get them as tight as you can a Union, Ride, or Raiden toe strap because the more you tighten the burton cap the more out of alignment it becomes. Flux's design is better and as long as you keep the cap in alignment (which I find is relatively easy) you can tighten it all the way without any skipping.
You don't find this problem with Union, Ride, or Raiden, regardless of which position the strap is in, probably because they don't use a true cap as burton does and thus doesn't have the same twisting effect that this type of cap creates.
Another problem is the burton ratchets are quicker to release, they have a longer lever and it pivots and lifts easier than a Union or Ride ratchet design, which adds to this problem.
This is my personal experience with the ratchets. I understand others may have had better experiences and no problems at all.
|Thanks for that, i will call him tonight when i finish work.
Nope. You have a great set up.
And your buckles are actually functioning fine although new tongues may be in order after the season. Ride them, you'll be fine.
Now or then, call rider service in Japan and ask for Kaz, the hardgoods specialist. Explain your situation and tell him that Chip in Bindings asked you to talk to him specifically. He and i will sort the details and Burton will send you parts after our conversation.
If that's too much off a hassle, walk into Murasaki in Shibuya and they should have parts for you.

In fact it basically happens with every buckle and tongue combo in the industry.

Mission Snowboard Binding | Burton Snowboards
Mission Restricted Retails at 34,650 yen, or $390 USD at current exchange rates. I was extremely lucky to have found a pair at a much lower price than that - but still over $200 USD
Mind you the bindings are the least of my problems now as the 39,900yen ($450 USD) retail Ambush boots appear to have inner boot inconsistencies that make them unbearably tight on one side only - even after spending a few hours walking around town like LiL-wayne. I suppose this is also one of the lower end boots in the US though :-/
^^^ great post
and I wasn't joking. I have to admit though, I have never ridden Ride or Rome bindings. I did pick up some capos and another pair of Ride's in the store 2 days ago while I was waiting for my wife to get some stuff. All I could think was how Burton's manufacturing is so smooth compared to Ride's.

In looking at @prem_k's
mindmap on social learning today, I spent a few minutes considering what events
can be measured relative to this topic. Unfortunately, I cannot embed the
diagram in this blog but please take a look at his
mindmap first.
I came up with the following measurable elements and hopefully most are self-explanatory. The mechanics of how you actually measure these items can very from trivial counting exercises to some fairly complicated metrics for mapping networks and measuring influence and sentiment. However, I think most of it has been done before, perhaps just not applied specifically to learning and pedagogy. So who's up to that challenge?
I'm also just starting on Marcia Conner (@marciamarcia) and Tony Bingham's book, The New Social Learning (ASTD & Berrett-Koehler, Sep 2010), and I expect I'll be learning a lot from it too.
Dissemination patterns

The latest chapter of dystopian sci-fi saga The Hunger Games premiered in London on Monday, with Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence returning in her role as a teenage heroine who inspires a revolution against sadistic rulers.
Despite the drizzle, hundreds of screaming fans filled the West End's Leicester Square and dozens camped out for a full 24 hours to catch a glimpse of Lawrence's red carpet appearance.
The 23-year-old, sporting a new blonde pixie-crop haircut, wore a backless floor-length white dress scattered with gems.
There were also loud cheers for heart-throb co-stars Liam Hemsworth - ex-fiance of pop star Miley Cyrus - and Josh Hutcherson.
After the phenomenal success in 2012 of the first film adapted from Suzanne Collins' trilogy of novels, Lawrence returns as Katniss Everdeen, a teenager forced into a deadly battle for survival in the macabre post-apocalyptic American kingdom of Panem.
Speaking at the premiere, Lawrence called her character a "good role model for girls".
"She's strong, and she's a fighter, and she's not afraid to stand up for what's right," she said.
Produced by Lionsgate studio, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire expects to at least match the stellar performance of the first instalment of the franchise, which took in $US693 million ($A740.42 million) worldwide last year.
It will be released worldwide in various markets throughout November.
The first movie saw Katniss and her friend Peeta, played by Hutcherson, emerge as the winners of the 74th "Hunger Games", a fight to the death between children organised by the evil rulers of Panem.
The latest film sees the duo fighting for their lives again while sowing the seeds of a youth rebellion, setting up the climactic showdown of the third novel Mockingjay, which will be split into two films due for release in 2014 and 2015.
Lawrence believes the film's themes of youthful revolt carry a universal appeal that will strike a chord with audiences.
"It's very easy as a society for us to just kind of follow the feet in front of us," the actress told a press conference in Beverly Hills.
"History does kind of repeat itself and I think that's an important message for the younger generation to see how important they are into shaping our society in the future," added the 23-year-old, who was crowned best actress at the Oscars in February for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook.
Hutcherson echoed his co-star's views, saying the film would serve as an effective rallying cry for young people everywhere.
"You're surrounded by so much 'in your face' truths from around the world about issues that are happening. And (young people) are also told how they have to be by the media, and I think that this movie shows that you can go against the flow," Hutcherson said.
Hollywood legend Donald Sutherland, who plays the evil autocratic ruler of Panem, said he was attracted to the franchise by its dark thematic landscape.
"For me, it was essential to become a part of this because it more clearly represents the dangers of an oligarchy of the privileged that anything I've seen in a long time," said the 78-year-old Canadian star.
The film sees the cast from the first movie return en masse, with the likes of Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci and Lenny Kravitz all back in character.
However Gary Ross, the director of the first film, has passed the reins to Francis Lawrence, whose previous credits include another futuristic blockbuster I Am Legend and the 2011 period drama Water for Elephants.
The newcomer admitted he had "big shoes to fill".
"It's a big franchise," he said at the premiere. "People take it very seriously and are really excited about it but... knowing that there's this amazing, enthusiastic audience was really energising and just made me want to make it even better for them."
Actress Lawrence meanwhile remains grateful for the opportunity to play the role of a lifetime, which has helped catapult her into a new world of fame.
"If I was going to be identified for a character for the rest of my life, well, I love this character, I'm proud of her and I would be proud to be associated with this movie and this character for the rest of my life."
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens in Australian cinemas on November 21.

I've been looking into various Tri-rails for the Saigas. The two I have found were the alum. tri-rail available from DPH Arms and the Surefire molded tri-rail available from other various suppliers. There is a price difference because the tri-rail from DPH is alum. and the Surefire is made of that Dupont plastic.
Sure the aluminum is much better looking but looks aside how do both function? I've heard good things about the aluminum tri-rail but what about the Surefire one? Has anyone had any experience with it? Are they just as durable as the alum. ones?
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Interior decoration is an art where lot of even seems to be minor items to be considered candidly. One of the very important place in the home is your bedroom where you will have enough place to walk around without hitting your furniture and easily accessible bed from 2 or 3 sides so that you don't need to jump over your children or partner to reach your place in the bed. It will definitely desirable that no sharp corners or dangerously protruding parts of anything in the room. Also bedroom is your resting place after all day troubles and hard work. So it should be elegantly dressed up to attract you or invite you to your rest. The color of walls and tiles, curtains, lighting arrangement, other decorative things and their place in the room, reading facilities, access to other essential services or emergency evacuation, etc. should be taken care off.
All arrangement in the interiors are totally based on the nature of the people who are going to stay there. Some people need good interaction with the nature always – means they want more plants in the room or a balcony in front of the bed room or easy access to your lone garden. Presence of plants and open garden will supply you enough good air that keeps you safe from environmental hazards.
Some people looking for more artwork in the room and flooring, especially sculptures. The sculptures are really good ideas to decorate rooms but it should reflect a message or thought provoking. Also there are people looking for more pets in their room or in the house and while you do the interior arrangements, the need of pets should be taken care of. If you need to put an aquarium in the room, it should be at a proper place. If you have pets, it is very important to clean the rooms very frequently to avoid diseases or allergic reactions from the excreta or hair of the pets.
Place of mirrors is very important in the rooms. It should be at convenient place and it is not advisable to keep it in front of your bed.
Here also, the villain is your budget. The interior concepts should be decided according to your budget and not according to your wishes. You should make good plan with an interior designer before starting the job. Un finished interior works will make your life miserable. The atmospheric conditions or climate and frequency of movement or number of members in the family, etc. will be crucial factors in deciding interior designs.

I've just completed the TEFL course, I realise its fairly basic, and am waiting the arrival of the further online study which I hope will be beneficial too.
I'm full of enthusiasm, feel reasonably confident, and raring to go.. just one hurdle to overcome.
I do not speak the language, how do I advertise my lessons, and get everyone together all in one place ? There must be other people who have come across this problem. Is there a standard flyer/advert you recommend?
What would be a reasonable charge for say 1 hour, I hope to have volume rather than charge too much per individual. Many thanks for your help

With the myriad of business and regulatory challenges already facing hospitality providers, another problem looms on the horizon: upgrading from standard tube television sets to flat screen sets. Next year, the standard TV analog signal becomes digital, so for obvious reasons, a flat screen upgrade seems logical. But for some hotels, providing flat screen TVs to guests is simply a matter of pleasant room aesthetics. For others, it is a brand requirement, particularly for new hotel builds. Either way, the flat screen upgrade process can be a tricky one as hotels figure out how to dispose of old tube sets and justify the ROI.
According to Don Shouldice, chief operating officer for RTM (www.rtmconsulting.net), a technology consulting firm to more than 1,200 hotels, many hotel franchises have delayed their upgrade plans due to cost.
"It is a brand requirement for any new build hotel [to upgrade to flat screen TVs] but many of the brands have pushed the requirement for flats into late 2009," says Shouldice. "They are hearing from the franchisees that there is a huge cost involved in the flat sets and high definition programming."
RTM recently helped Driftwood Hospitality (www.driftwoodhospitality.com) and InnKeepers Hospitality (www.innkeepershospitality.com) upgrade from traditional box set TVs to flat screens. RTM managed the process from a technology standpoint and helped the hotels understand issues that they might encounter with cabling and furniture. Shouldice says many hotels like Driftwood and InnKeepers are upgrading to flat screens for their "sex appeal" and to stay competitive.
"In both cases the motivation is a result of brand requirements and to stay current with the offerings of hotels in their competitive set," says Shouldice. "The implementation is rather large as they are both looking at converting the majority of their portfolio."
And while Sholdice says it is difficult for hotels to extricate themselves from current box set TV contracts, the price for both flat screen TVs and high definition converter box sets are expected to drop in 2009, so the wait should be worthwhile. For hotels that do not have the luxury of waiting, a more calculated, phase-out approach of tube TVs is the most viable upgrade protocol.
A gradual deployment
Such is the case with Dallas-based Accor North America (www.accor-na.com), which operates more than 900 upscale and economy properties including nationwide economy leaders Studio 6 and Motel 6. The company is starting the process of purging its CRT TVs and upgrading to flat screens as its Motel 6 hotels are renovated, according to Dan Gilligan, vice president of energy and environmental services, Accor. "We will continue to utilize CRT TVs in properties that are going to be renovated later in the cycle," says Gillian. "It takes several years to renovate all of the locations."
Gillian says the flat screen TVs play a key role in the dynamic, new look of Motel 6's rooms. The new room design is dramatically different from the prior ones and extra attention was paid to incorporating LCD TVs into the new room prototypes, according to Gillian.
"We want existing Motel 6 rooms to adhere as closely as possible to the new room design prototypes," says Gillian. "A major part of this new signature look includes LCD TVs."
The new Motel 6 TVs will also be designed with the guest in mind; each LCD will come equipped with a "patch panel" extension to bring back panel connections to the front of the TV. This modification allows guests to easily obtain connectivity to other analog and digital inputs for DVD players, laptops, cameras and other devices.
Motel 6 continues to rely on older tube TVs for locations that are not under renovation. As such, the company plans to remove its mast antennas that receive analog signals and feed content to tube TVs via satellite as they await the upgrade to LCD and high-definition. "When we convert properties to new LCD TVs, we will also add HD receivers so guests can enjoy the higher quality HD programming," says Gillian.
Gillian says his company is considering LCD TVs from a multitude of manufacturers and will most likely invest in two to three different brands but cautions that the procurement process when selecting new TVs is tricky.
"We are trying to design our furniture in such a way that it doesn't matter which one we use," says Gillian. "The problem with some TV manufacturers is that they will discontinue models soon after they are first made. You have to be prepared in your entire procurement logic that you are going to get the TVs when you need them. Utilizing more than one source will be critical to our success."
Meeting space media
Like Motel 6, Hyatt Regency Chicago is also utilizing a multi-tiered approach to providing guests with cutting edge LCD technology. Hyatt Regency Chicago offers 2,019 guest rooms and 228,000 square feet of meeting space, along with a 70,000-square-foot exhibit hall and four ballrooms, including one that spans 24,000 square feet. Its large meetings serve many people who need updated and correct information on their meeting time and location. With this in mind, hotel management determined that digital signage using large screen LCDs with radio frequency identification technology (RFID) was a necessary investment to accommodate their guests.
Hyatt's management team selected AVT Communique (www.avt.com), a division of Hospitality Partners with international headquarters in Arlington Heights, Illinois, as its audio visual integrator. AVT Communique undertook a thorough evaluation of displays and decided on NEC Display Solutions' (www.necdisplay.com) 40" MultiSync LCD4010 and 32" (31.5" VIS) NEC MultiSync LCD3210 large screen displays. Hyatt needed a quick way to display meeting information that would be legible to many guests in a large space, while adapting to the hotel's interior design. Hospitality Partners and Hyatt were impressed with the NEC LCDs and found them to be a perfect fit for its way finding requirements. And with the embedded RFID technology, meeting attendees simply display their RFID name card, which signals the way finding system to display their personalized meeting agenda. Currently, RFID is being used in sales demonstrations and site inspections.
"Our goals for implementing this system have been fully achieved," says Patrick Donelly, general manager, Hyatt Regency Chicago "In addition to providing a valuable service, we wanted to impress our guests and clients with the technological capabilities of the system; providing them streamlined information, captivating motion graphics and demonstrating how the hotel is technologically ahead of its competition."

Besides I was talking about the actual matches between Kasparov v Karpov in the 80s/90s, which were great, not some theoretical could-have-been-should-have-been stuff. Turned out Kasparov v Anand and Kasparov v Kramnik were pretty dire...
Somewhere on the interwebs, there surely must exist a forum similar to this one, where chess enthusiasts might currently be furiously debating the ill effects of bastardised variants like speed chess and blindfold chess on the traditional SixtyFour64 format....
Personally, I'd like to watch a chessboxing bout.
Chessboxing is dire, I've seen it on youtube. Atrocious chess players and probably not the best boxers either.

The Frenchman takes his side to White Hart Lane on Sunday for another hotly-anticipated North London derby and has once again backed his team to the hilt.
"Yes I am very positive about being with this team because I must say they play with focus, good solidarity and we know on the football front we will go from strength to strength," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"What is very important for us at the moment is to get positive results and that is why I am pushing on being positive as well. That what this team needs at the moment."

At lowes in the area where roofing supplies are found there are rolls of al. flashing 24in X 50ft. metal can be cut from this roll and bent to fit the lid for a lot less than $7 each. Or get a couple good coats of paint on the plywood and when it's time to repaint or retire it then just do it.
i had trouble with bending the aluminum too. I think i'll make my next round of outers without it.
So I was wondering what other options are out there?

I had the great pleasure of meeting Alan Harris today. For those that don't know, Alan is the handsome bloke in the Supertrooper Test fitting photo shoot.
He was telling me that at that test fitting the Flame thrower on the left gauntlet was a working model, and they even fired that thing up, Wow! Fueled with gas from the jetpack, which I guess confirms the gas connector greeblie 100%. He was also telling me that as he understood it the character was intended to be a good guy at that time, 4 months before filming ESB started. Interesting. Great story I thought I would share.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Our rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in the New England area. Due to this it is not possible to meet them prior to their adoption. Our dogs are brought up to their new owners weekly! We have a 14 day no questions asked money back guarantee and the dog can be returned to us if things don't work out. We try hard to get good matches in our homes so that everyone has a happy life together! To date we have placed over a thousand dogs and puppies in loving New England homes!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

So, I'm waiting impaitiently for my 21st birthday because I'm going to go and buy either a S&W Model 29 or Model 22 Model of 1917.
Now, the M22M1917 has no previous "generations", so I have no questions about that.
But what is the number for a current (Classics) Model 29? 29-10? 29-11?
I only want a NIB revolver because S&W only honors the warranty for the lifetime of the first owner.

i am thinking irons---
Hi Guys,
Let me know what your optics preferences are for your AR's. My shooting will be out to no more than 200yds and I'd like to keep my cost to a minimum.
Here's what I have to date

i am thinking irons---
Irons are, for sure to be used, as a backup, but at my age I need some power..........

I got one of those BSA Sweet 22 (yes 22lr), and if the others are made the same way, that would be a good choice.
It all depends on your eye sight, since you mentioned that. I was going to say a red dot, they seem to make you focus a little more, but if you need an actual scope look at 4 & 6 powered ones first then go from there.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
It depends on what you're going to do with it. I have a red dot on a 16" mid length that I use now for coyote hunting out to 250 yards or so and a 20" extra heavy barrel with a nikon 3-9x40 that I use for varmit hunting or when I know I'll primarily have farther shots on coyotes. I also a 4-16 weaver on a bull barrel that is pretty much only used for varmit hunting due to it's weight. All of those scopes are matched to what they're going to be used for. After seeing my 16" with the red dot in action coyote hunting about 15 years ago my buddy got a red dot for his 20" bull barrel. He quickly found out that was the wrong optic for that barrel and got a 16" upper for the red dot and a nice leupold mark something for the bull barreled upper. Think about how you're going to use the rifle and pick an optic that best suits your needs.
After all the optics I just "had to have" I found the Aimpoint T-1 suitable for my needs. I mainly shoot irons out to around 200 yards but I don't shoot for groups. Just hits on mainly IDPA torso targets.
Now for magnified scopes I'd check out Vortex Optics. I personally have not shot with one of the scopes but I have used the Crossfire. It was very rugged and they have a lifetime warranty. And since cost is a factor, even on SWFA they are less expensive than comparable optics.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Breckenridge wrecked most of our crew. Felt bad the first day. Not too bad the second day. My wife couldn't even eat while up there and thought she had food poisoning (thought it was bad chili from Loveland lol!).
So yes, bring it just in case. Better to have, and not need, than vice versa.
Just wanted to update this and say thanks to everyone that answered my "tourist questions". My buddy and I booked a week in Telluride from March 2nd to 8th and I can't tell you how stoked I am to go. Decided to fly into Montrose and just enjoy the scenery on the drive to Telluride with a shuttle.
We won't be riding the first day we get in, so that should help a little with not going any higher on the mountain, but we'll have 5 days of riding time during the weekdays I'm not sure I'll even need it, but planning on seeing a doc and possibly get Diamox to help with the altitude.
Thanks again!
My bad I didn't see these replies until today.
First regarding the altitude, recently talked to a friend of mine who said it didn't really bother him there, and granted he's from OH as well. I've also read that Ginko Beloba (although not proven) possibly helps.
Regarding the flights. Durango is cheaper by almost 100 bucks. The only problem with that is the shuttle (Telluride Express) that runs to Telluride has a 4 adult minimum, so as it stands with my buddy and myself it wouldn't really save any cash.
The price to fly into Montrose vs Telluride airport is about the same (on weekdays about $550 from cheapoair), but I've heard that the Telluride airport is more prone to delays and cancellations due to storms. The 2 hotels I've been looking at in Telluride both say that there's no one at the check-in office after 5 or 6, so a delay could really screw things up.

Airfare is all over the place, but in my experience Durango is usually cheaper to get into than Montrose. At least on United.
Bonus is if you are planning a long stay you could also split your time up and head over to Wolf Creek, which I highly recommend. Durango is pretty much in the middle of the two.
I use to go to Summit Co. quite a bit while working out of our Denver office, but anymore I just always end up at Loveland when in that area as there seems to be such a better vibe there compared to the mega resorts like Breck/Copper/Winterpark etc.. If planning a destination type trip I would pretty much go anywhere but Summit Co. Too many day trippers from Denver and the weekends are pretty much always a shitshow, IMO.
You go to SW CO your going to have a blast.
To help with altitude, start taking a baby aspirin about 6 days before you come. It will thin your blood a bit, altitude makes it thicker. Try to eat more garlic the week or two before and put lemon inyour water, both are natural blood pressure droppers. Thick blood and higher blood pressure at altitude is really what makes you miserable. Blood can't absorb enough o2 and combine that with less o2.... Blood pressure naturally raises for the first 2-4 weeks at altitude because of the decreased pressure on your vessels as well as increased fluid in them from expansion..
Another think to do is avoid excess carbonated drinks and excessive carbs cause they expand twice as much and can give you intestinal and stomach cramps from gas!
|Keep checking airline prices. Maybe it's the fact you are flying in from Ohio, but I have never paid more the $450 for a plane ticket to anywhere I have gone in the U.S. our of Montrose. Although, my sister and her family have been looking at coming out after Christmas, and tickets are much higher than normal for then too. Winter is usually cheaper because we have more carriers. I think they are supposed to announce another one here in the next couple of weeks.
|Thanks everyone, really appreciate all the info! Basically decided on T-Ride now, looks like it's going to be around the first week of March
|Stay hydrated, don't skip meals, snack through out the day. Also, take notice if you start to feel signs of altitude sickness. For most, it'll probably be higher up on the mountain. Easy treatment, get lower down on the mountain. It'll probably only be an issue for the first day or two if at all.
|Honestly, there's just no way to tell. Some people are more sensitive to altitude than others. The only thing you can really do is arrive in good shape and stay hydrated. The rest is up to nature. It never really bothered me, but some of my buddies who were in better shape than me struggled. Only one way to find out...

April can be really good too. Crowds are much less and storms still roll in. When the storms aren't there it's generally sunny and things soften up to nice corn riding. The only draw back is that is the time of year that you get those windy overcast days that just leave frozen crud for a snow sliding surface. This is the only time I don't care to be out riding anywhere. It just sucks.
Ok one last question: Altitude. For someone that's never been above 4,000 that is (other than with flights and cabin pressure). I know many of you have lived out there long enough it's a non-issue. Other than drinking lots of water and staying in shape before I go, is there anything else a person can do to better prepare themselves for it? I'm planning on bringing a box of Clif Bars or something to snack on while on the mountain, and due to flight times I'll be at the hotel for that evening until getting on the mountain the next day. This trip is to celebrate 20 years of standing sideways, so just want to make it as enjoyable as possible.

Over the space of two days, Daniel Max Kropf was cited three times with driving while under influence of drugs or alcohol.
On April 29, the 42-year-old St. George man will appear in Logan's 1st District Court to learn how long he may have to stay behind bars on his plea-bargained third-degree felony and a class A misdemeanor DUI counts, prosecutors say.
On Monday, Kropf entered guilty pleas to those two charges in return for a second misdemeanor DUI count being dropped, the office of Cache County Attorney James Swink confirmed.
Kropf had been scheduled for a jury trial April 10-12.
He had been taken into police custody for DUI on three separate occasions July 9-10, according to court documents. The first two times, he bailed out. The third time, he was held in jail for several weeks before being released pending court proceedings.
In addition to alcohol use, prosecutors claimed Kropf also was using Oxycodone around the time of his arrests.
Depending on recommendations from a pending sentencing report, Kropf could be ordered to be incarcerated up to five years when he appears before Judge Kevin Allen next month.

Lets hear your idea's for cooling a helmet down besides fans which only circulate old air. I had an idea going to use a small cpmouter cool pump that would fit in a pouch and had two hoses one for the helmet and another for the armor under the vest.
I had an idea of using something like that. They have a smaller pump in a computer store at Bestbuy here but its not on there website. It can be run from 2, 9 volts for a few hours according to the salesperson.

Thursday 3rd March 2011
After what has felt like an incredibly depressing few days we definitely needed a night like that, whoever we were playing. Complacency has no place in football and any present last night would have seen our opponents take full advantage.
The O's were enjoying a lengthy unbeaten run when they arrived including, of course, taking us to a replay just a couple of weekends back. If we needed further evidence that lower league sides cannot simply be brushed aside these days we need look no further than Crawley Town's recent visit to our Quarter Final opponents.
At Brisbane Road I always felt we were a second goal from it being a similar game to last night's. Staying at one however, our hosts always had a chance. In the replay we took our chances and didn't make the same mistake, it's as simple as that.
The month of March arriving feels like Spring is here for me, it certainly didn't feel like it in the very chilly streets of N5! Couple that with the definite air of despondency for reasons I don't need to mention and nine-odd thousand noisy away fans, all the ingredients were there for a potential cup upset and the media sensationalism that accompanies it.
Marouane's early strike certainly calmed everyone down a bit and once Nicky had doubled our lead with a towering header it definitely already felt like a job well done.
For me however, it was extremely important to continue pushing for more goals. One conceded would have made it the kind of uncomfortable night we could all do without.
Nicky's fine strike gave us the third before half-time and it was very much game over.
The second period was extremely relaxing and with two more goals we all went home a lot happier than when we arrived!
An FA Cup Quarter Final tie up at Old Trafford is not the kindest prize but quite mouthwatering nonetheless. We have a couple of games to get out of the way before we turn to that of course.
Chelsea's victory on Tuesday night has certainly helped our cause when it comes to the fight for the Premier League. Those kind of results only matter however, if we don't slip up.
Our first obstacle to overcome is the visit of Sunderland on Saturday afternoon. For me, walking out of the Stadium of Light earlier in the season was the worst I have felt other than Sunday.
We need to be at our best to make sure it is an experience we don't endure again.
Come on you mighty reds!

text: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15379068 A restaurant in Saudi Arabia is charging customers extra who do not finish their entire meal. The customers the BBC interviewed seem to be in support of the extra charge. The owner says that the money from the extra charge goes to famine victims in Somalia. He hopes charging extra will encourage customers to only order food they will eat and that other restaurants in Saudi and around the world will do the same thing. It's interesting. There are lots of time when I eat out and just can't finish the food on my plate. I do feel bad about it so I wouldn't feel too bad if I was charged more to cover the cost of the wasted food.
