20 Reasons Why NYC Is Superior to LA (And Will Win the Stanley Cup!)
Our colleagues at KIIS-FM (Los Angeles' leading radio station) came up with an aimless attempt to talk trash over the upcoming Stanley Cup finals featuring the Los Angeles Kings versus the revered and historic New York Rangers. 18 Reasons Why LA Beats NY was a cute effort to explain some sort of LA superiority, but it works well as a perfect example of the misguided mindset of those on the left coast.
What follows is a REAL demonstration of East Coast dominance, perhaps best evidenced by the quality of the two posts. Read it and weep, LA.
1. New York is the global headquarters of more than just one industry. Advertising, Fashion, Publishing and Finance are all rooted in NYC. Yes, Los Angeles is home to the film industry, but if you want to catch a good indie movie, odds are that is was produced in NYC. Blockbuster schlock? Go LA.
2. NYC boasts the best and most varied foods in the nation, if not world. From Halal carts on the street to Daniel, one can find amazing, affordable food just as easy as the best restaurants in the country. LA has tacos and something called "California Pizza." Ahem.
3. NYC offers the most enviable neighborhoods in the world. Are rents expensive? Hell yeah, because NYC is comprised of competitive people who don't accept cheap-ass apartments behind the strip malls of Studio City.
4. Los Angeles has Santa Monica pier (aka, the poor man's Coney Island). NY Beaches offer WAY better body surfing than the skull crashing scale of the Pacific Coast. Sometimes less is more.
5. Wits – ever watch a TV show and the canned laughter and dim comedy just screams Los Angeles? NY Comedy is much tighter, quicker and overall better. Conan in NYC was way funnier than his current TBS show in LA. Also, NYC offers Colbert, Stewart, Letterman and Fallon. LA? Leno and George Lopez. Ouch.
6. Earthquakes. LA wins the earthquake battle (which cedes the war to NYC)
7. Smog: just like earthquakes, LA's inversion layer will keep you coughing all day if you'd like. NYC offers no such smog problem.
8. NYers are famous for being brutally honest. If someone has a problem with you, he or she will let you know. In Los Angeles, being phony is the reigns supreme.
9. Professional sports franchise support. NYers ALWAYS fill a stadium or arena by game time, whether its baseball, basketball or football. Wait. LA couldn't even support a football team, whereas NYC has TWO.
10. When LA wrote a list of reasons why LA will beat NY, they came up with 18 examples. 18? Another example of LA's half-assed "that's good enough" ethos.
11. Subways. Yes, LA has a commuter rail system that is used by a healthy 3% of the LA public. But there are probably more people on the NY subway system at any one moment than total rail commuters in a month's time in LA. Which leads us to….
12. Traffic. Need to get around in Los Angeles? Well expect to spend 45 minutes on the 10, the 405, the 101, just to go five miles. NY offers such an efficient subway (and conveniently compact neighborhood grid) that one almost never needs to drive a car. Yes, living in NY is far more environmentally sound than LA (oh the irony)!
13. Seasons. Want to know why we all love NY in June? Because we've EARNED the joy of having a drink outside after work at a local café or bar. Nothing beats Fall or the holidays in NY, and yes, winter is tough. But that which does not kill you makes you stronger.
14. The character of NY is unparalleled. The most iconic movie and book narratives are all set in NYC because the rich cultural mosaic that is this city. Los Angeles? Meh.
15. Disneyland! Yes, that infernal hell holds only appeals to California nitwits who can't tell the difference between cloying facades that replicate "the old world" and the real thing.
16. The Hamptons. If you need explaining, you'll never know.
17. Nightlife. NY has the best bars, clubs and restaurants in the nation. Perhaps more importantly, they are all a short walk or cab ride from one another. If someone needs to get from a bar in Silver Lake to a party in Santa Monica, that would require a four figure cab ride and 90 minutes of traffic. No fun.
18. Music. Yes, Los Angeles has a lovely music scene, but the roots of popular music (whether it be blues, jazz, rock and roll or hip-hop) are ALL found in NYC.
19. Tradition – NY has been around for over 400 years. It's cute that LA is just, what, not even 200 years old?
20. The Rangers are faster, more skilled, better looking and overall more congenial than the philistine LA Kings.
Good day.

The Goncourt, the French literary prize, has lifelong judges—often themselves novelists.
When the Booker Prize was launched as the "British Goncourt" in 1969, it was met by a universal guffaw.
But at least the Goncourt, with its derisory 50NF cash reward, had clean hands.
Goncourt is not an artist, notwithstanding all his affectation and outcries; he is not an artist.
The essay on the Goncourt is important, and we find in it typical dissociation.
Goncourt's Elisa at least interests us; Zola's Nana at all events appeals to our senses.
And Goncourt assimilated this method with surprising results.
Here she became acquainted with Zola, Goncourt, Daudet, and others.
His characters, like Goncourt's, suffer from paralysis of the will, from hypersthesia.
This is a novel which was awarded the Goncourt prize in 1921.

After seeing "Silver Linings Playbook," I wondered if I'm going crazy.
Not crazy in the way we find many of the unhinged characters in the movie (and, I'm guessing, in the Matthew Quick novel from which it is adapted). But crazy in the sense that I'm missing something that many of my more rapturous critical brethren the ones who are lauding writer-director David O. Russell's offbeat comedy as a major Oscar contender seem to have found.
Bradley Cooper stars in a role far removed from the studly, in-control party animal from the "Hangover" films as Pat Solitano Jr. A Philadelphia-area high school teacher, Pat just completed a stretch in a mental institution over some stalker-like activity involving his ex-wife. He moves back home with his parents, a football-mad and OCD-afflicted dad (Robert De Niro) and his accommodating Mom (Jacki Weaver), and talks in freshly learned support-group aphorisms about "silver linings" as he vows to make things right with his ex.
While reuniting with his old friend Ronnie (John Ortiz) and Ronnie's decor-obsessed wife, Veronica (Julia Stiles), Pat meets Veronica's sister Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence). Tiffany turns out to be more messed up than Pat, if such a thing was possible: She's the widow of a police officer, and was recently fired from her job for having grief-induced sex with, oh, everybody. She zigzags from offering to have sex with Pat to cajoling him into helping her win an amateur dance competition.
Tiffany is aware that her life is messed up, as witnessed by her response when another cop (Dash Mihok) identifies her as "Tommy's widow." "Yes, I'm Tommy's crazy whore widow minus the whore thing sometimes."
If you graded dialogue delivery the way Olympic gymnastics judges did, Lawrence would be rewarded for degree of difficulty and because she sticks the landing. Lawrence, already world-famous as Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games," proves her mettle with an uncompromising and acidly funny performance of a complex yet charming character.
It's further tribute to Lawrence's talent that she goes toe-to-toe with De Niro, in one of his best performances in a decade, and hangs even with him. De Niro leads a great supporting cast of oddballs, which includes Stiles' Martha Stewart wannabe and Chris Tucker as a fellow patient of Pat's with a habit of releasing himself prematurely from the facility.
Alas, Lawrence's bold performance and her fearlessly sexual character are more than Russell knows how to harness. He tries to showcase Lawrence's Tiffany and Cooper's Pat in a screwball romantic comedy, emphasis on the "screwball," in the mode of his 1999 film "Flirting With Disaster." But something whether it's Cooper's overly mannered mania or the too-conventional ending keeps "Silver Linings Playbook" from spiraling to the dizzying heights it might have achieved.
'Silver Linings Playbook'
Jennifer Lawrence gives a fierce performance as a screwed-up widow, whose more than her love interest (Bradley Cooper) or this manic movie can handle.

LISTEN: Tiesto releases new single featuring Matthew Koma 'Wasted'
Listen to Tiesto on iHeartRadio
Tiesto has teamed up with Matthew Koma for his latest single "Wasted" ... and it's a little different than fans might expect, but in a very good way.
The legendary producer/DJ has certainly switched up his sound over the last five years or so, and while "Wasted" may be a little more subdued than fans are used to hearing from Tiesto lately, it has smash-hit written all over it.
In a Facebook post, Tiesto says of his new song "For many years, I've wanted to make a song that straddles the line between indie/alternative rock and dance music. So when I met Matthew Koma and we started working on this song, I knew this was the right time. It may sound a little different from what you were maybe expecting to hear but I've always made the music I wanted to make. I'm incredibly proud and excited about this track! Expect the unexpected."
Tiesto also shared the lyric video. Check it out below:

'"Things like a salary cap, restrictions on free agency, rookie pay, the draft, all these things are anti- trust or competition law violations" Macramalla said. " They're actually unlawful but they're inside the four corners of the CBA and the CBA acts as a protective bubble for the NHL. Decertification is the pin that blows up that protective bubble. The players can go ahead and sue the NHL for all these anti-trust violations."'

Montana Uses Late Run to Upset Southern Utah, 73-69
Related Links
"I'm certainly proud of how we played the game tonight. We had some crucial turnovers and defensive errors down the stretch which closed the gap very quickly," stated SUU head coach JR Payne. "But as a whole we played really hard tonight, I'm proud of our effort."
Southern Utah fell behind 11-3 early on as Torry Hill put up five quick points to put Montana out in front. Lori Parkinson responded by scoring eight for the Thunderbirds, including a pair of three point plays, to bring SUU back within two.
The Grizzlies increased the margin back to six with a couple of scores, but a 7-0 run gave the T-Birds their first lead of the night. Mandelko scored five straight during the rally, hitting a baseline jumper before connecting on her first 3-pointer, to put her team up 18-17.
Montana went back in front on a runner by Hill, but Desiree Jackson evened the score at the foul line and Mandelko dropped in two more threes to put the T-Birds ahead, 29-24. She added two more free throws in the final minute for what would be Southern Utah's final points of the half. The Grizzlies battled back to take a 33-31 advantage into the locker rooms as McCalle Feller knocked down a shot from the outside with time running out.
Mandelko recorded 17 points in the half after putting up 20 points in the final period of the opening round matchup against Sacramento State. Parkinson added another ten for the Thunderbirds while Hill led UM with 11. The Griz started 0-8 from 3-point territory prior to Feller's buzzer-beater.
SUU saw the deficit grow again in the opening moments of the second half before using an 8-2 run to retake the lead on a driving layup by Andrea Jones. Mandelko added another basket to increase the advantage to three at 43-40.
Montana hung around with a couple of layups from Kellie Cole, but Brenna Gates dropped in two scores to keep Southern Utah up and Mandelko got into the key for a floater to set the margin at 49-44.
The Thunderbirds worked the ball inside to Carli Moreland to create some space with a layup and Mandelko knocked down her fourth three of the contest to help push the lead to ten and added another step-back three to make it 62-49 with under eight minutes remaining.
The Griz narrowed the margin with five straight points, then added five more after a free throw from Moreland to trail by just four inside the four-minute mark. Two foul shots for Kayleigh Valley had them down by just one and Hill connected on a three to give the lead back to Montana at 66-64.
The difference grew to six with 27 seconds left after four straight free throws from Cole. Mandelko brought SUU back within two with her sixth 3-pointer of the night, but Montana added two more at the line to set the final count at 73-69.
Southern Utah shot 40.7 percent from the field overall to the Grizzlies mark of 45.1 percent. The Thunderbirds went 6-13 from the outside, but just 59.4 percent at the foul line. Each team collected 37 rebounds, and UM turned the ball over 19 times while SUU had 20 miscues.
Parkinson posted 12 points and six rebounds, Moreland turned in eight points and seven boards and Gates contributed seven points and nine rebounds off the bench. Hill scored 22 for the Griz and Sullivan came up with ten rebounds.
"We have always said to win a championship in the Big Sky you have to go through Montana, they have won so many," commented Payne. "We have played so well lately. It is a minor setback, it's just disappointing that it had to come tonight. I am beyond proud of the way this team has evolved, not just from winning ball games, but the way they play together."
Montana advances to face North Dakota in the tournament final on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. (MT), while Southern Utah waits to see if it receives a postseason tournament invitation this Monday. Announcement information will be available online at www.suutbirds.com.

Ray Douglas Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920, in Waukegan, Illinois into a family that once included a seventeenth-century Salem woman tried for witchcraft. The Bradbury family drove across the country to Los Angeles in 1934, with young Ray piling out of their jalopy at every stop to plunder the local library in search of L. Frank Baum's Oz books.
In 1936, Bradbury experienced a rite of passage familiar to most science-fiction readers: the realization that he was not alone. At a secondhand bookstore in Hollywood, he discovered a handbill promoting meetings of the "Los Angeles Science Fiction Society." Thrilled, he joined a weekly Thursday-night conclave that would grow to attract such science-fiction legends as Robert A. Heinlein, Leigh Brackett, and future Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
After a rejection notice from the pulp magazine Weird Tales, he sent his short story "Homecoming" to Mademoiselle. There it was spotted by a young editorial assistant named Truman Capote, who rescued the manuscript from the slush pile and helped get it published in the magazine. "Homecoming" won a place in The O. Henry Prize Stories of 1947.
But the most significant event for Bradbury in 1947 was surely the beginning of his long marriage to Marguerite McClure. They had met the previous April in Fowler Brothers Bookstore, where she worked—and where at first she had him pegged for a shoplifter: "Once I figured out that he wasn't stealing books, that was it. I fell for him."
In 1950, Bradbury's second book, The Martian Chronicles, took the form of linked stories about the colonization of the red planet. As always in his writing, technology took a back seat to the human stories.
Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a rental typewriter in the basement of UCLA's Lawrence Clark Powell Library, where he had taken refuge from a small house filled with the distractions of two young children. Ballantine editor Stanley Kauffman, later the longtime film critic for The New Republic magazine, flew out to Los Angeles to go over the manuscript with Bradbury, plying the sweet-toothed perfectionist author with copious doses of ice cream.
The book came out to rapturous reviews. To this day it sells at least 50,000 copies a year and has become a touchstone around the world for readers and writers living under repressive regimes.
Continuing to write during his final years, Bradbury also made public appearances that inspired all ages across the country. At many of those celebrated appearances, he exhorted his fans to "Do what you love and love what you do!" He did just that, until his death at age 91.
On January 5, 2005, Dana Gioia, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, interviewed Ray Bradbury in Los Angeles. An excerpt from their conversation follows.
Dana Gioia: How did you come to write Fahrenheit 451?
Ray Bradbury: In 1950, our first baby was born, and in 1951, our second, so our house was getting full of children. It was very loud, it was very wonderful, but I had no money to rent an office. I was wandering around the UCLA library and discovered there was a typing room where you could rent a typewriter for ten cents a half-hour. So I went and got a bag of dimes. The novel began that day, and nine days later it was finished. But my God, what a place to write that book! I ran up and down stairs and grabbed books off the shelf to find any kind of quote and ran back down and put it in the novel. The book wrote itself in nine days, because the library told me to do it.
DG: What was the origin of the idea of books being burned in the novel?
RB: Well, Hitler of course. When I was fifteen, he burnt the books in the streets of Berlin. Then along the way I learned about the libraries in Alexandria burning five thousand years ago. That grieved my soul. Since I'm self-educated, that means my educators—the libraries—are in danger. And if it could happen in Alexandria, if it could happen in Berlin, maybe it could happen somewhere up ahead, and my heroes would be killed.
DG: Decades after Fahrenheit 451, do you feel that you predicted the world, in that sense, fairly accurately?
RB: Oh, God. I've never believed in prediction. That's other people's business, someone like H.G. Wells with The Shape of Things to Come. I've said it often: I've tried not to predict, but to protect and to prevent. If I can convince people to stop doing what they're doing and go to the library and be sensible, without pontificating and without being self-conscious, that's fine. I can teach people to really know they're alive.
DG: Did you think of this book from the beginning being about the growth, the transformation of Montag's character?
RB: Never for a moment. No. Everything just has to happen because it has to happen. The wonderful irony of the book is that Montag is educated by a teenager. She doesn't know what she is doing. She is a bit of a romantic sap, and she wanders through the world. She's really alive though, you see. That is what is attractive about her. And Montag is attracted to her romantic sappiness.
DG: What do you think the turning point is in this novel, in terms of making Montag come into his new life?
RB: Well, when Mrs. Hudson is willing to burn with her books. That's the turning point, when it's all over and she's willing to die with her loved ones, with her dogs, with her cats, with her books. She gives up her life. She'd rather die than be without them.
DG: If you joined the community that appears at the end of Fahrenheit 451 and had to commit one book to memory, what book would that be?
RB: It would be A Christmas Carol. I think that book has influenced my life more than almost any other book, because it's a book about life, it's a book about death. It's a book about triumph.
DG: Why should people read novels?
RB: Because we are trying to solve the mystery of our loves, no matter what kind you have. Quite often there's an end to it and you have to find a new love. We move from novel to novel.

New Fantasyland opens for "dress rehearsals" with guests
Last Friday, the second phase of the Magic Kingdom's New Fantasyland expansion began a "dress rehearsal" with lucky park guests who began lining up as soon as the park opened in anticipation of the preview. The land is expected to be open to all guests for "dress rehearsal" from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day through this Friday, October 19. The land then begins two weeks of cast member previews, followed by Passholder, D23, and Disney Vacation Club previews. Official previews begin November 19, and the land's grand opening takes place on December 6 during a press event. We'll bring you reports from that event as close to real-time as we can.
Just about everything in Fantasyland Forest is now open, with the exception of the Be Our Guest Restaurant, which is open for guests to view, but will not begin food service until the official previews start. In addition to Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid and Enchanted Tales with Belle, Gaston's Tavern and Bonjour! Village Gifts are now open for dining and shopping. The Little Mermaid dark ride features Fastpass, which can be obtained at the Mickey's PhilharMagic Fastpass location. Gaston is available for meet-and-greets near the fountain in his honor outside his tavern. Ariel is also doing meet-and-greets at her grotto adjacent to the queue area for her attraction.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is currenly open only for viewing of the restaurant. It won't be available for dining until November 19. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

Gaston's Tavern is serving a variety of refreshments, including enormous warm cinnamon rolls ($3.99), roasted pork shanks ($7.99), chocolate croissants ($2.99), fresh fruit and veggies ($3.49 to $3.69), hummus ($4.39), and beverages ($2.19 to $3.49). The signature beverage will be LeFou's Brew (also known in Disney California Adventure's Cars Land as Red's Apple Freeze), a frozen apple juice with a taste of toasted marshmallow, topped with all-natural passion fruit-mango foam. It comes in a souvenir stein (featuring an image of Gaston) or goblet (featuring an image of Belle) for $9.99, or without the souvenir drinkware for $4.49. Elsewhere in the area, Maurice's Amazing Popping Machine sells popcorn and beverages.

Bonjour! Village Gifts, themed to Belle's favorite bookstore, features everything from apparel to dishware, costume accessories to home goods. As merchandise is still arriving, purchase of some items will be limited to two or four items per guest. Those items will be labeled as such in the store.

If you're looking for even more details about the new area, the Disney Parks Blog will be hosting a live chat with Chris Beatty this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. Chris is the Creative Director for the project at Walt Disney Imagineering, and a heck of a nice guy.

The first phase of New Fantasyland, Storybook Circus, opened in July. Phase 3, Princess Fairytale Hall, is scheduled to open in early 2013. The final phase, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, is currently expected to open in early 2014.
Sign up for New Fantasyland previews today!
Last week's preview reservations for Passholders and D23 members did not quite go off as scheduled. While the D23 reservations became available at 1 p.m. EDT as scheduled, Passholder reservations were delayed a week due to "technical difficulties." It's uncertain whether the delay was actually due to problems with the computer systems, concern about swamping the system with a higher percentage of people home on Columbus Day without worry of having to try from work, or wanting to get the "dress rehearsals" started before opening the official sneak previews.
Meanwhile, Disney Vacation Club Member previews were announced last Wednesday. Those reservations become available today at noon EDT, the same time as the rescheduled Passholder reservations open.
The DVC previews take place on November 4 and 5. Each day features three three-and-a-half-hour sessions (8:00 to 11:30 a.m., 12:30 to 4:00 p.m., and 5:00 to 8:30 p.m.). DVC Members can register for themselves and up to 3 guests. As a reminder, Passholders can register parties up to 8 guests total, but each member of the party must be a valid passholder at both the time of registration and on the date of the preview. To register, Passholders will need the names, dates of birth, and annual pass numbers for each member of the party.
The Passholder website will post a reservation link when tickets become available at noon EDT. There is no word yet on how the DVC reservation link will be posted. After you register, you see a confirmation page. Print this confirmation, and take it to the event check-in location with a valid photo ID and valid annual pass to receive your ticket(s). Disney is only accepting printed confirmations, and will not accept electronic images (on cell phones, tablets, etc.) for admission.
When you reserve your tickets, you choose between two itineraries. Both provide a self-guided tour of Be Our Guest Restaurant and a ride on Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid. The itineraries diverge, as one provides the chance to experience Enchanted Tales with Belle, while the other provides access to the meet-and-greet photo opportunity with Ariel at Ariel's Grotto.
Here are the currently scheduled preview dates:
Saturday, November 3

Last call! Registration for MouseAdventure: World Explorers closes Friday!
Registration is now open for MouseAdventure: World Explorers IV, but only until this Friday, October 19. The fourth annual running of the scavenger hunt/puzzle quest/race through Walt Disney World's parks takes place on Saturday, November 3 at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom (the game has been going on at the parks of the Disneyland Resort for more than 11 years now). Do you think that you know the Magic Kingdom? We bet you don't know it as well as you think you do! Test your wits against those of our puzzle masters. Registration will close on Friday, October 19th at 11:00 p.m. (EDT), or when the event sells out. For more information, check out the MouseAdventure information page.
Headless Horseman takes a spill, rides on
One of the most popular parts Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is the ride of the Headless Horseman before the Boo To You Parade. Last Monday night, while taking the turn in Liberty Square on a wet pathway, the Horseman's horse lost its footing and fell, throwing its rider. The horse and rider were OK. The rider soon remounted, and the duo completed the parade route. They did not ride before the second parade that night.
A cell phone video (please shoot horizontally, people!) shows the Headless Horseman's mount slipping and falling in Liberty Square last Monday night.
Another set of videos shows the horse trotting by alone, the rider being walked to the horse, and the duo resuming the ride.
There are weather-related criteria for whether or not the ride will take place, and whether it would be full speed or a slower pace. It's unknown at this time what caused the fall. The ride has taken place again since that night, though at a reduced speed.
There are reports that this is a new horse riding the route this year, replacing Khan, who had traveled the route many times over the preceding years. Those reports, however, are unconfirmed.

Walt Disney World names new Ambassadors
Tye Arnold, of Northeastern Arkansas, and Rich Tamayo, of Queens, New York, were named the 2013–2014 Walt Disney World Ambassador team during a ceremony at Epcot's America Gardens Theatre last Friday. The two men made it through a two-month candidate search to represent the more than 64,000 cast members at the resort from January 2013 through December 2014. They will succeed the outgoing Ambassador team of Norman Vossschulte and Jennifer Mason, whose terms expire at the end of the year.
The new team will represent the resort at an average of nearly 10 events per day throughout the year, from community and VoluntEAR events to hospital visits to serving as masters of ceremonies at press events and internal cast member recognition ceremonies.
Tye Arnold and Rich Tamayo are named the Walt Disney World Ambassadors for 2013-2014.
Nominations open for 2013 Disney's Dreamers Academy
Nominations are now open for the sixth annual Disney's Dreamers Academy. The event, presented in conjunction with Steve Harvey and Essence magazine, takes place March 7 to 10, 2013. One hundred U.S. high school students ages 13-19 and a parent or guardian will attend the educational and mentoring program.
The students will be inspired by celebrities and motivational speakers, and will participate in workshops to get hands-on experience in a variety of careers. Students will be able to explore arts and sciences, athletics, culinary, and more.
Students can be nominated through October 31 by parents, teachers, mentors, and even themselves. Nominations must be made online at the Disney's Dreamers Academy website. You can also get more information on Facebook or by following @dreamersacademy on Twitter. Winners will be announced in early 2013.
Widow of killed maintenance worker files wrongful death suit
The widow of Russell Roscoe, the maintenance worker killed while working on Primeval Whirl on March 13, 2011, has filed a wrongful death suit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Terrie Roscoe claims that her husband was injured when a a ride operator broke protocol in releasing a ride vehicle without sufficient warning, and that a loudspeaker malfunction prevented her husband from hearing any warnings. She also claims that the management of maintenance workers "fostered a rushed environment whereby important implemental safety precautions were ignored by management."
Last September, OSHA cited Disney for four violations in the incident and levied $69,000 in fines against the company. Two of the violations were classed as "Serious," one as "Repeat," and one as "Other."
Roscoe is seeking damages for wrongful death, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and lost support.

In the post-show, guests will find out their test results, and will also be able to use a digital driving table to race their design over various terrains and extreme conditions. There will even be an opportunity to create a commercial for their custom car. Of course, there will also be a Chevrolet showroom displaying the latest models.

I found The Little Mermaid kind of underwhelming but the area was magnificent. Peter Pan is still my favorite dark ride. Enchanted Tales was wonderful but really more for the kiddies, imo. I can't see my boyfriend and me doing it every visit. Gaston's Tavern was great but I still prefer Butterbeer to Lefou's Brew. (I like cream soda better than apple juice). Be Our Guest looks stunning but we weren't able to go in; just able to take a look at the menu. The Beast's Castle looks amazing lit up at night! Can't wait for the Seven Dwarfs' attraction!

This is the watch requested by the U.S. Navy SEALs for its unique illumination technology. Identified as a vital element for maintaining light discipline during night missions, borosilicate glass capsules with phosphor-lined interiors make up the watch's 12 hour positions and its hour, minute, and second hands. Tritium gas sealed within each capsule reacts with the phosphor lining, causing it to fluoresce for more than 25 years without the need for a recharge from a light source. The watch's case and case back are made from carbon-reinforced polycarbonate; case back is secured with stainless steel screws. It has a ratcheting, unidirectional polymer bezel for measuring elapsed time and a push-in stainless steel crown with double O-rings to ensure its water resistance down to 660'. The Swiss quartz movement provides impeccable timekeeping for on-the-second synchronization. The face is protected by a tempered, scratch-resistant mineral crystal. Its black polyurethane strap defies seawater, slush, rain, or snow. Case 1 3/4" Diam. x 1/2" D. (2 oz.)

Just How Many Are There???
By Dad of a Rivereen
from Dallas, TX
Just how many "Genuine NAVY SEAL watches are there? Purchased a watch from HS last Christmas (2011) that was described as "used by the NAVY SEALS". This year's product, quite different in appearance/features is described as the "genuine NAVY SEAL" product. Also, just received a catalog from another firm which features it's own product as the "genuine NAVY SEAL" watch (also different in appearance, but manufactured by the same firm). So, gents, which is the "genuine" item? Suggests to me that some quite clever/misleading marketing is at play here.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Luminox is an official supplier to Navy Seals and did this particular watch for the Navy Seals for 2012, also when the movie Act of Valor came out.

we are happy with this purchase
By Stitchinfran
from SK, Canada
am happy with the watch which was a gift for my husband for Christmas. He feels privileged to have a Navy Seal watch. It will be good for him while walking the beach looking for sand dollars and shells and doesn't need to be worrying about getting it wet in the process. Also he likes the fact that he can see it readily in the dark. A good choice!

Excellent every-day watch for the professional and gym-goer
By Kincaid
from West Palm Beach, FL
I did some research before spending the money on this watch, but HS was the only vendor to offer a lifetime guarantee on the product and therefore the only vendor I felt comfortable purchasing from. This Luminox watch is excellently versatile and looks stylish in daily wear, casual dress, and gym clothing. It feels extremely durable, albeit lightweight, and though I have not tested the water-resistance personally, I have no doubt that it is water-resistant. If it's not, then I'll just take advantage of the lifetime guarantee and all will be fine. While the pricing from HS is significantly higher than others, the guarantee will outperform other vendors in the long-run.The only slight disappointment I have is with the nocturnal illumination of the watch, which is ironically the reputable trait of Luminox watches. It illuminates wonderfully in pitch darkness, but is difficult to read in mild lighting, and is why I've given 4 stars, not 5. The Black-on-black color scheme likely contributes to this difficulty. However, it is a trade off because I enjoy the inconspicuous color scheme in full daylight. The illumination is purple hour-markings and orange at the 12 o' clock marking, so very unique. This watch is NOT for someone looking for a flashy source of compliments on their wrist, but is rather for the man in no need of compliment, just fine with looking like a man.
My son loves this watch.....But......
By Cheryl
from Southside AL
My son absolutely loves this watch and would not trade it for anything. However in the time he has had it the band has failed twice and the face became scratched. HS has always been true to their word and replaced the watch with no questions. Note however that if the price goes up you will have to pay the difference. So while I would not recommend this watch my son definetly would.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: We are so glad to hear that your son loves this watch! We apologize for the experience you are having with it though. While we have not encountered other customers having these issues, we apologize for the experience you have had. If you would like to exchange or return the watch, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-800-321-1484.
I would purchase this watch as a gift for someone.

I am extremely satisfied with the recent purchase of my "NAVY SEAL DIVERS WATCH!" I rarely take it off. I've owned other similar watches but I say with confidence this is my favorite one.
I'm proud to wear a Navy Seal watch

VA State Police Say Senator Deeds Stabbed During Fight With Son
(Charlottesville, VA) -- Virginia state Senator Creigh Deeds is now listed in fair condition after being stabbed during an altercation with his son at the lawmaker's home early today. Deeds' 24-year-old son Gus was found dead of a gunshot wound at the residence. Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller said investigators are looking at the case as being an attempted murder and a suicide. Geller called it an ongoing investigation and said she would not comment on a possible motive. Senator Deeds is hospitalized with stab wounds to the head and upper torso.
A source tells the "Richmond Times Dispatch" Deeds' son had a mental health evaluation yesterday. The report cites a source saying Gus Deeds had been released Monday following the evaluation performed under an emergency custody order.

Compatible BT5-R2 KDE 64 bit/Gnome 64 bit
wifi injection works
bluetooth works
sound works (Master channel needs to be manually set under Kmix)
encrypted installation works as well
Dell hot keys and backlit keyboard detected and work (the eject button needs to have it's action mapped manually, and the wifi kill switch spits the following out)
iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio.
iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Not sending command - RF KILL
iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Error sending REPLY_RXON: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5

iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Not sending command - RF KILL
iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: Error sending REPLY_LEDS_CMD: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5
so i'll need to figure that out.
here are the steps i took to get the video working, note these ppa's are not supported by the backtrack team. if you follow these steps and have problems, the support you receive from them will be limited if any, they have better things to do. but generally you can revert back to stock by (apt-get install ppa-purge, ppa-purge <name of ppa>)
apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
apt-add-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
nano /etc/default/grub
"i915.modeset=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 pcie_aspm=force"
nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add "blacklist nouveau"
nano /etc/modules
add "i915'
update-initramfs -u -k all
//also we're gonna need to install bumblebee, i tried using the distro without it and was chewing through my battery fast.
apt-get install bumblebee
//you should not need to add yourself to the bumblebee group unless you are a user that's not root
//also, i suggest you don't try to "optirun" programs, as doing so generally ends in a crash or reboot.
ANOTHER NOTE: while this isn't the most stable solution, it will get you your desktop cube or whatever other kwin effects you use. we might just have to wait until updated X packages or BT6 comes out to get a real fix for this.
good luck
update-- upgrading to the A.05 Bios will break this fix... and pretty much any i915 support that backtrack 5 kernel 3.2.6 has. if you want the shiny new Bios you'll need to downgrade the kernel
