Jonas is a pagan who's been in love with his best friend Keith for a long time. When Yule comes around, Keith wants to spend it with Jonas. Shocked, considering Keith doesn't have a religious bone in his body, Jonas agrees--only to get the shock of his life.
"You working tonight?"
"Hm?" Jonas Riddle looked up to find his best friend, Keith Holloway, standing beside his table. "Oh, hi. Um, yeah. We've got a guest palm reader coming in, so I'm running the counter while everybody else focuses on her."
"Not gonna get your palm read?" Keith asked as he sat down. He stole a French fry off Jonas' plate and sat back while he munched.
Jonas shrugged. "Nah. Not much point in it. Besides, it's Yule -- gonna be busy enough up front to worry about my fortune."
"So what're you doing for Yule?"
Eyebrow lifting, Jonas stared at his friend. "Since when do you make plans for the holidays?"
It was Keith's turn to shrug and he snatched another fry. "Because if I don't, you'll sit at home and be bored."
"I will not be bored," Jonas countered. "I've got plenty to do. Decorating, making gingerbread, ritual--"
"Oh, gingerbread? As in the real thing?"
"Uh, yeah. I don't buy the store stuff, you know that." Jonas eyed him warily. "Why?"
"Want help?"
Jonas just blinked. "You don't know how to cook!"
"So? I can fetch stuff, stir, that kind of thing."
Jonas sat back and folded his arms, giving up on his lunch since half his French fries had vanished anyway. "What happened? Couldn't find a date to take to your folks' place?"
Keith gave him a look that was half-annoyed, half-smirk. "No. I never have trouble finding dates, Mr. I'm-waiting-for-the-right-guy. I just thought you might like company seeing as how you refuse to go with me."
"Your parents think I'm the anti-Christ, Keith."

Jewett City's State Theatre to Reopen
JEWETT CITY, CT — The State Theatre, which closed in April 2003, is nearly finished with a year's worth of renovations and is expected to reopen under new ownership this April, according to this report in the Norwich Bulletin.
March 2, 2004
Hippodrome Renovation Photos
BALTIMORE, MD — Ed Dobbins sent in some great shots of the recently reopened Hippodrome Theatre, along with this note:
"I went to a public open house at the Hippodrome last Saturday morning. I got some really nice pictures you can have. You can see in the daylight picture that the new complex takes up the whole block, this place is fantastic! Finally something got done right. Also from what I hear the Town Theater around the corner on Fayette street is being renovated, not sure for what purpose, movies/plays or both. I'll have to check it out soon."
Bad Weather Delays Demolition of Hull Cannon
HUMBERSIDE, ENGLAND — Demolition of the former Regal/Cannon which should have been completed by now has been delayed because of bad weather.
Much of the interior has now been gutted — the photograph above was taken last December and shows the scaffolding in Screen 1 used to remove asbestos from the ceiling. Demolition of the rest of the theater commenced on Monday and the structure should be finally laid to rest within days.

Sister of Flushing's Keith Needs Federal "Offset" Funding to Keep the Curtain Rising
HUNTINGTON, WV — Huntington's Keith-Albee could meet the wrecker's ball due to federal and state subsidizing of a competing 14-screen stadium multiplex one block away.
The Transit Authority, which is administering the federal portion of the project, claims it has complied with all historic and environmental laws. However, the TTA director claims that the Keith is not on the Federal Register.
Council Subcommittee Votes to Give Avalon Theater Landmark Status
MILWAUKEE, WI — Prospects for saving Milwaukee's last surviving atmospheric theatre, the Avalon Theater, brightened on Wednesday when a Milwaukee City Council sub-committee voted to recommend landmark status for the theater, according to this report in the Milwaukee Journal.
If the full council adopts the recommendation, the Avalon's current owner, Craig Ellsworth, would be unable to make any renovations to the theater's exterior without the approval of the city's Historic Preservation Commission, nor would he be able to demolish the structure without prior approval.
That said, should landmark status be granted, Ellsworth would still be able to proceed with his plans to convert the Avalon's interior into office space.
Waco's 25th Street Theatre Slated for Demolition
WACO, TX — I recently went to the Waco city hall and did an open records request concerning the 25th Street Theatre. Apparently, the building was red tagged on October 10, 2003 and is now slated for demolition, although no definite date was provided, so maybe there is still time to save it.
I viewed pictures taken by a Waco building inspector and the place is a disaster. Amazingly enough, though, the mural of the Chariots on the theater's south wall is still intact, but badly water damaged.

Flushing's RKO Keith's to Become Condos
FLUSHING, NY — Boymelgreen Developers, who bought the RKO Keith's in 2002 from developer Tommy Huang, will demolish the theater and build a 19-story mixed-use tower on the site called RKO Plaza.
Woman Dies Viewing 'Passion of the Christ'
WICHITA, KS — A radio sales manager suffered an apparent heart attack during the final scene of The Passion of the Christ, during the first showing at the Wichita's East Warren Theatre on Wednesday, February 25.
For all of us whom own theaters, I sincerely hope that this is just an isolated occurrence and not something that this film stirs "that" kind of emotion in. Reportedly the woman, 57, was described by co-workers as not suffering from any health-related problems prior to the incident.
York Theatre Expands
ELMHURST, IL — Classic Cinema's York Theatre is opening two more screens in April, bringing the theater's total number of screens to seven.

11th Hour for Historic Raymond Theatre!!!
PASADENA, CA — On March 15th, the City of Pasadena will attempt to grant permits to gut the interior of the Raymond Theatre (formerly known as Perkin's Palace). Our sixteen year battle to stop unnecessary development of the theater into an apartment/retail/shopping center will be over.

Last year, the Ventura City Council accepted a $2.3 million federal grant that allowed it to reopen Fire Station 4, an east side station off Telephone Road that was closed because of budget cuts. VCTA expressed strong opposition to the deal.
The grant was expected to pay for a little less than two years' worth of operating costs. In exchange, the city agreed to pay to keep it open a third year at a cost of $1.2 million.
But staffing and operating the station as cost significantly more than initially thought — $473,000 from November 2011 to October and an additional estimated $402,000 from November to October 2013. Those costs are attributed to overtime, utilities and equipment, items not covered by the grant.
In addition, the grant wasn't totally used in the first two years because it can go only to salary and benefits, and it took time before the station got fully staffed and running. Some of the leftover grant money will be rolled over into year three.
The Fire Department received no additional money from the city so it paid for the difference by cutting elsewhere and shifting resources, fire officials said.
The third year is still on track to cost the city about $1.2 million. But by the fourth year, the operating costs, driven largely by overtime and salaries, is projected to climb to roughly $1.6 million.
Fire Chief Don McPherson presented that information as part of the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response, or SAFER, annual report on Monday night.
The city is paying third-year operating costs from a fund used for fire and paramedic equipment, including radios, computers and defibrillators. To help offset costs after that, the department will look for grants like the one used to reopen the station, money that came from the Department of Homeland Security.
The operating costs at Station 4 surprised some officials.
"I feel like I got misled," Mayor Mike Tracy said.
Tracy said when he voted to accept the grant to reopen the station, he wasn't aware there would be those extra costs.
"It's clear the SAFER grant isn't paying for the full costs of the first two years," Tracy said.
But McPherson said the grant was never intended to cover all the operating costs at Station 4, 8303 Telephone Road. McPherson said when city officials applied for the grant in 2010, they came up with the figure of $1.2 million based on new hires, but that higher-paid officials, including captains and engineers, staff the station.
Since last year, a major cost that is not part of the grant has been the recruiting and hiring of nine firefighters. A background check had to be done on each new employee, and outfitting them costs $8,000 to $10,000, McPherson said.
Tracy said he wouldn't have changed his vote had he known there would be those extra costs but that the council must think about such things when considering how to keep the station open.
McPherson said the grant has been successful and improved fire operations.
"It's not just helping the east end," he said. "It's been a tremendous help to the service we're providing."
Whether responding to someone suffering a heart attack, a house fire or a water main break, time is critical, McPherson said, and having the station helps reduce response times.
When the station reopened, fire crews responded to calls in its coverage area within five minutes 51 percent of the time, compared with 16 percent when it was closed. Citywide, fire crews responded to calls within five minutes 47 percent of the time with Station 4 closed, a figure that is now up to 59 percent, according to McPherson's report.
Ventura has six fire stations. Station 4, shut in mid-2010, had been chosen for closure after officials determined it would affect response times for the fewest people.
The question of how the fire station would be paid for once the grant and city money runs out — four months into the 2014-15 fiscal year — has always been unknown.
"They're going to be OK at this stage for paying that third year. For year four, we haven't identified the funding yet," said Jay Panzica, the city's chief financial officer. "The Fire Department has been assigned the task of trying to identify where the funding will come from, so that's what they're working on."
Not everyone supported the council's decision to accept the grant. The Ventura County Taxpayers Association opposed the move because the city had no plan on how it would pay to keep the station open beyond the third year.

'Feel', the biography of Robbie Williams by Chris Heath, has just been published. In researching and writing 'Feel', Heath spent nearly two years working with Robbie Williams.
But, is this a biography? I have to admit to being confused. Looking through newswires and sites, I noticed that some refer to the book as a biography and others as an autobiography.
So I decided to look at the Amazon site and I found:
Feel: Robbie Williams ~ Chris Heath — (Hardcover – September 1, 2004)
Robbie Williams ~ Robbie Williams, Chris Heath — (Paperback – June 2, 2005).
Leaving to one side intuition, the logical conclusion is that there are two books – one is a hardback biography by Chris Heath, and the other is a paperback autobiography written by Robbie Williams in association with Chris Heath.
Those with more energy than me, might investigate further or perhaps just ring the publishers for clarification (who knows I might try this myself), but, whatever, it does raise critical questions about the respective values of biographies and autobiographies.
If I was writing an autobiography, even though I can be annoyingly self-deprecating at times, I can assure you that the book would put me in a positive light. Similarly, if my brother was to write a biography of me then I think and certainly hope that I'd come out well from that too. And I'd also think that if I had an authorised biography where the writer had access to my diaries and papers that the book would not be too damning.
On that last point I might be wrong:
In an article in The Guardian (31 August 2002), JDF Jones poses this question: "What is he[the biographer] to do if he discovers that it [the truth]is anathema to the family that commissioned him?". Jones continues: "Is he to abandon the book – the thought occured to me more than once – since he certainly cannot suppress or delete the facts he had unearthed?"
His biography of Laurens van der Post was authorised by the subject's family. Jones says: "… but on publication was described by some as that unusual creature a 'hostile' authorised biography. Some of Laurens's family and friends were understandably distressed …"
Perhaps the safest way to remembered fondly when one dies is to take the lead from Michael De-la-Noy. On 13th August, 2002 The Independent published an obituary of Michael De-la-Noy. The most interesting thing about it was that the man wrote it himself! It was the first time they had published an 'auto-obituary'.
To get back to the point, it goes almost without saying that both biographies and autobiographies have value. The crucial aspect for the reader is to know what angle the author is coming from. That's why I would like to be a bit clearer about 'Feel'. Who the heck wrote it?

Looking for a place to take advantage of the recovery? Try Texas.
The Lone Star state's major metro areas–Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston and San Antonio–are all emerging from the recession better than their counterparts in many areas of the country. Austin is a government and tech center. Dallas and Ft. Worth get a boost from major corporate operations located there. Houston is a hub for the profitable oil industry and the U.S. military gives San Antonio a lift.
"The places that are likely to recover the fastest seem to be places that have suffered the least during the recession, says Howard Wial, who heads up research on metro and regional economies at the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program. Texas, he notes, has a fiscally stable government buttressed by oil and gas revenues and spending from Uncle Sam.
Slide Show: America's Recovery Capitals
Each quarter Brookings publishes its "MetroMonitor, which tracks how the 100 largest metro areas in the country are emerging from the Great Recession, based on historical data. (Other Texas towns performing well include McAllen and El Paso.)
But we wanted to see how major metro areas are likely to fare within the next few years. We asked Moody's Economy.com to provide us with analysis and annual growth prospects for employment and economic output for the period 2010-14. We examined the 25 largest metro areas in each of the four regions of the country–the South, the Midwest, the West and the Northeast to arrive at our national champs. Those that made our list had the best combination of job and ouput growth, equally weighted.
One of them is Des Moines, Iowa. It has a relatively low cost of living, an educated workforce (the University of Iowa is two hours away), and it's a Midwest financial and insurance center, home to many banks' refinancing operations. The metro area's median housing price actually peaked in 2008 at $152,400 and has only dropped about 4% since then, according to Moody's Economy.com.
Another area with strong growth projections is the Raleigh-Cary, N.C., metro, a research hub for the tech and biotech industries. It also has a highly educated workforce (several major universities are nearby) and its housing market appears to be on the upswing. Employment there is projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.9% during the next four years, and GMP is expected to grow at 4.3% annually by 2014.
Mark Zandi, chief economist and cofounder of Moody's Economy.com, says he expects manufacturing and distribution centers (think Atlanta and Dallas) to show the first signs of life as the recovery unfolds this year. Later in the year there is likely to be more job creation in professional services like accounting and management consulting centers such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Expect financial services and lending to pick up by next year, he says, giving a lift to metro areas like Charlotte and Boston.
Some metro areas will obviously take far longer to recover than others, but several recession-battered towns now could stage a comeback by 2014, according to Economy.com. That includes Las Vegas, where unemployment is 14.2% and the median housing price has dropped about 60% since its peak in 2006. Like Palm Coast, Fla., the economic situation in Las Vegas can only improve, but Moody's Economy.com projects employment and GMP to grow at a relatively healthy annual clip–2.9% and 4.3%, respectively–during the next four years. Still, Sin City's economy will not take off until the overall U.S. recovery is fully underway, according to the analysis.
Zandi says he expects tourism and the leisure and hospitality issues to start recovering by 2012, but metro areas that have been battered by the bust, such as Las Vegas and Orlando, Fla., also have another lure–housing prices are low, office rents are down and there's plenty of real estate on the market. "They're bargains, and at some point people are going to take notice."
Nonetheless, the housing market continues to be a troubling factor in many areas of the country (Florida, for example), and the expiration of the first-time homebuyers' tax credit–which boosted home sales earlier this year–could cause a further temporary slowdown in housing, says Brookings' Wial. For the Gulf Coast, it's not yet fully known just how much the oil spill will damage metro areas in those states. A slowdown global trade, a worsening of the European debt crisis, and a sharp rise in U.S. interest rates due to fiscal problems would also dampen recovery.
As in Texas, metro areas that have good growth prospects through the recovery tend to be hubs for government activity, energy, logistics and, in some cases, technology growth. That explains why Austin, home to
Job growth in the Northeast is likely to be more depressed over the next few years than in other regions of the country. That's likely due to demographic and geographic reasons (there's limited space for physical growth). But that's not to say the region isn't also ripe for recovery. With so much government activity since the economy crashed in 2008, Washington, D.C., is expected to prosper. And according to the Brookings Institution, Albany, N.Y., Augusta, Ga., and Buffalo, N.Y., have posted strong recoveries so far.

A Road Ghost Explained?
Over the Christmas period I happened to be travelling by car along a stretch of where there have been several sightings of a 'ghostly' figure walking across the road. It was late at night and the temperature was well below freezing.
As I passed the stretch where there have been several sightings, I came across an odd phenomena: a river runs nearby and there are drainage grids at the side of the road. Out of one of these was a column of mist at least 6 feet high, probably created by the temperature difference of underground water and the freezing air. There was also some mist from other grids but not as much as this particular one. Could this be an explanation for the sightings.
The usual report is a figure in the road, which cars have driven through, credible witnesses include a police officer. Perhaps in some instances wind could cause this mist to move across the road, and imagination could fill in the rest. Any ideas?
It would be useful to know to what the weather conditions were like when the 'ghost' was experienced to see if it would work into your theory. Also, how was the figure described, misty shape or solid looking person?
To add to this I was going quite slow - the road has a national speed limit, but I was doing less than 30 because of the sheet of ice covering the road. If you were going faster the it would have been more difficult to see exactly what it was - also returning later on there was no sign of the mist.
I don't mean to hijack your thread, Daniel, but my best friend described a road-ghost experience to me which I thought I would relate here, albeit it was in a completely different location.
Some 10 years ago or so my friend was living at Elphin, a remote rural area near Ullapool (Scotland). He was travelling in the passenger seat of a car which his mother was driving, late at night. They were travelling back to his house.
Now, I should mention, my friend was slightly the worse for wear, having spent the evening in the local pub. His mother, however, was completely sober.
As they were driving up the single track road towards his house, they BOTH witnessed a tall female figure 20 yards ahead, emerge from a bank of trees on the left, and run across the road. My friend's mother was so surprised that she slammed the brakes on the car, thinking she would collide with the woman. This was despite driving slowly ,due to it being a single track road.
They watched the figure as it continued running over a bank of stones to the right of the roadside. It disappeared into the darkness.
I questioned my friend in depth about this sighting. He confirmed that:
- the figure was definately that of an adult female, dressed in a white dress or cloak-like garment
- the figure seemed to have a demeanour of fear, as if she was running away from something
- the figure appeared to be running faster than normal human speed. It then appeared to "glide" over the stony ground to the right of the road. My friend, being familiar with the area, could not believe that anyone could move so fast over what was very stony and difficult terrain.
Both my friend and his mother reacted by looking at each other and saying "what was that"? When they reached the house, they both described to the other what they had seen, and both accounts were the same.
This is interesting, especially bearing in mind that this is a remote rural area, and at the time there was only other one person living in the vicinity ( an elderly bed-ridden lady in the cottage near where my friend was living).
What's also remarkable, is that both witnesses very clearly saw a human form, in no way confusable with a column of mist or similar.
My friend metioned this sighting to a work colleague the next day. The colleague was not surprised, saying that the area was well known for ghostly sightings.
Any comments?
Hi Kate 101, welcome to the forum. I used to travel from Ullapool over to Stornoway at least once a year so I have a good idea of what the roads up there are like. Fantastic part of the country :). I wonder if anyone else has come across this Road Ghost?
Hi Ian, thanks.
Yes indeed it would be interesting to hear from anyone with similar experiences in Elphin, or knowledge of local history of that area.
I am sceptical by nature, as is my friend. Yet he remains convinced that what he witnessed was supernatural. He had no other similar experiences before or after, in fact he left the Elphin area shortly afterwards.
Can I add that I know my friend's mother very well also, and a more level headed, objective woman you could not meet - not inclined to flights of fancy by any means.
When I was a schoolchild living in Northern Kentucky (just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio, where I now live) it was very common to see columns of steam rising from the town sewers as I walked to school with my mates on freezing Winter mornings..
But I don't believe any of us ever associated that steam with ghosts.
Oddly enough, I do make associations between steam and ghosts today, 55-60 years later.
The most obvious cause for the Ullapool figure would be a real person. It was dark, presumably, so it would be difficult to properly judge things like speed of travel. Darkness might also hide the feet, if they were wearing dark footwear, so leading to an impression of floating.
I'm always a bit dubious when witnesses say something was 'impossible' or 'unbelievable', like running over rough terrain at night. In my experience, when you try to recreate such incidents, on site, it generally turns out not to be impossible after all.
Why should someone be running in such a remote spot at night? Who knows! Many apparently paranormal sightings are unlikely coincidences rather than impossible events. If they were commonplace, people wouldn't notice them in the first place.

Check out this awesome email we got from a reader:
I attended Sierra Nevada's public Beer Camp back in December. I won my spot through web votes and was 1 of 24 people who had the honor of enjoying the experience. My camp made an Imperial Red Ale that we're calling Blood Shot. Beer scoop:
- Bittering Hops: Chinook, Southern Cross, Simcoe
- Dry Hops: Chinook, Southern Cross
I invite you all to come have a taste at the tapping event at ChurchKey next Friday, February 8 at 5 pm.
Invitation accepted! Head on over to meet the hometown hero, taste some of her beer (alongside, one hopes, some other Sierra Nevada goodies), and maybe even meet a brewery big shot.
UPDATE: Says the fearless brewer: "Sierra is also sending Ruthless Rye, Torpedo Extra IPA, Bigfoot Barleywine-Style Ale, Kellerweis Hefeweizen, and Blackeye PA...another Beer Camp brew brewed by one of the owners of Rodman's in DC."

First of all, let me say that as an original MFC fan, I am also a great fan of this site. For a very long time, I have been looking for a chance to submit an article. I have developed very interested things, but the majority of those code are specialized to very specific aspects.
Recently, I was faced with the following issue. How could I resize a control bar or even a singe child control in a visual way (by moving the mouse)? Indeed, there are some great controls here in CodeProject, but they have a lot of code and they are oriented to specific controls.
All of us that use MFC know the peculiarities of CWnd based controls. I have, many times, been stuck for hours or days, trying to figure out how a control behaves. After all these years, I concluded that the most stable control is CWnd, and whenever possible, I skip classic controls and make my own directly from CWnd.
The files that contain HCSizeGrip are:
HCSizeGrip is derived directly from the CWnd class. It can be created very simply (by calling the CWnd::Create function), and it can be handled as a classical CWnd object. It uses a hook to capture mouse events.
When you hover the mouse above a HCSizeGrip object, you will see the mouse pointer change (to a sizing arrow). If you press the left button and start dragging the parent CWnd based control of HCSizeGrip, it will start resizing.
There are four orientations of resizing: LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM. The default is RIGHT. If you want to change the resize orientation, use:
BOOL SetResizeOrientation(TResizeOrientation val)
The functions BOOL SetMaxScale(float newVal) and BOOL SetMinScale(float newVal) set the maximum and minimum resize (0 up to 1).
BOOL SetMaxScale(float newVal)
BOOL SetMinScale(float newVal)
I had no time to test this class extensively, but I am sure that t does not work correctly with top level windows like CDialog or CFrameWnd. But I think that it works fine with CDialogBar controls.
In the future, I want to do (when I have the time) virtual resize like all modern task bars have (not actual resize before the mouse movement is complete).

the weathered metal looks fantastic, looks like real metal
Normally I'm a Star Trek or Star Wars modeler, but I decided to do something little out of that arena. I'm making a gundam-like kit of Optimus Prime. It's the DMK-01 Dual Model Optimus Prime kit from Takara Tomy. It is VERY movie accurate, one of the best kits I have ever laid eyes on. The detail on this thing is mind blowing. Anyway, since it's still science fiction, I thought a few of you guys might like to see it. Here are some progress pics below.

Steamboat Springs The students at Colorado Mountain College are doing more than just studying these days most of them, based on the results of a recent study, are spending a large chunk of their time in the Steamboat Springs work force.
Based on studies completed every year since 1993 as part of resort management classes taught by Professor Terry Hunter, about 80 percent of the students who attend CMC also work. Almost 30 percent of those students work full-time jobs in addition to their coursework.
While the study is not scientific and does not exclude students who may only be taking one class at the college, Hunter said the statistics are so consistent he thinks the 130 respondents likely represent an accurate cross-section of the students at the school.
Every year since 1993, the study has revealed about 80 percent of the students at the college have jobs.
The highest percentage of students polled in the years from 1993 to the present with jobs was 83 percent, while the lowest was 78 percent.
That lack of significant discrepancies leads Hunter to believe the study has produced reliable figures.
Most of the jobs students get are located off-campus, though the college does offer an on-campus work-study program, Hunter said.
The study was completed by students in Hunter's Quality Assurance Management class.
The students spread out across campus to survey the community, making sure to finish before 6 p.m. so as not to get responses from night students who would more likely work during the day.
Although there are only 461 full-time, degree-seeking students out of a student body of about 1,500 who take classes at the college, Hunter said most of the students surveyed are likely the full-time students.
Because the surveys are not taken at night, it would be less likely to include members of the public who take only one class at the college, Hunter said.
"Most of the students I know work at least one job," Hunter said. "They study, work, ski and try to get it all done in what probably makes for a pretty long day."
One of those students who works and studies, both on full-time schedules, is Daniel Kucher, a resident adviser at the college and an employee at Steamboat Log Design.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, Kucher goes to class at 8 a.m., then works from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., goes back to class from 1 to 2:30 p.m., works again from 3 to 5 p.m. and attends a third class from 6 to 9 p.m.
But the evening isn't over until Kucher finishes his R.A. duties from 10 p.m. to midnight.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Kucher works at the furniture store, at which he logs about 10 to 20 hours a week.
"Most definitely, the dorms are a huge resource for supplying the city's seasonal employees," Kucher said.
And the business community seems to be taking advantage of the large population of potential employees at the college.
"It certainly is a good addition for our community to be able to have the resort management program and that portion of the work force," said Sandy Evans-Hall, the executive vice president of the Chamber Resort Association.
Hunter also noted that more students seem to be taking year-round jobs than in the past, based on the results of surveys taken in the past.
In 1993, for instance, 34 percent of the students surveyed had year-round jobs, while in 2001 that number had jumped to 58 percent.
He also said more students are working in the food and beverage industry, while less are working in the lodging industry.
Hunter said taking surveys like the work force survey helps students understand the importance of collecting information in resort marketing enterprises.
Kucher is in the resort management program and hopes to work in a resort town when he graduates.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::PodSpelling - Check your spelling.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
Did you write the documentation? Check.
Did you document all of the public methods? Check.
Is your documentation readable? Hmm...
Ideally, we'd like Perl::Critic to tell you when your documentation is inadequate. That's hard to code, though. So, inspired by Test::Spelling, this module checks the spelling of your POD. It does this by pulling the prose out of the code and passing it to an external spell checker. It skips over words you flagged to ignore. If the spell checker returns any misspelled words, this policy emits a violation.
If anything else goes wrong -- we can't locate the spell checking program or (gasp!) your module has no POD -- then this policy passes.
To add exceptions on a module-by-module basis, add "stopwords" as described in Pod::Spell. For example:
=for stopword gibbles =head1 Gibble::Manip -- manipulate your gibbles =cut
This policy can be configured to tell which spell checker to use or to set a global list of spelling exceptions. To do this, put entries in a .perlcriticrc file like this:
[Documentation::PodSpelling] spell_command = aspell list stop_words = gibbles foobar stop_words_file = some/path/with/stop/words.txt
The default spell command is aspell list
and it is interpreted as a shell command. We parse the individual arguments via Text::ParseWords so feel free to use quotes around your arguments. If the executable path is an absolute file name, it is used as-is. If it is a relative file name, we employ File::Which to convert it to an absolute path via the PATH
environment variable. As described in Pod::Spell and Test::Spelling, the spell checker must accept text on STDIN and print misspelled words one per line on STDOUT.
You can specify global stop words via the stop_words
and stop_words_file
options. The former is simply split up on whitespace. The latter is looked at line by line, with anything after an octothorp ("#") removed and then leading and trailing whitespace removed. Silly example valid file contents:
# It's a comment! foo arglbargl # Some other comment. bar
The values from stop_words
and stop_words_file
are merged together into a single list of exemptions.
A spell checking program is not included with Perl::Critic.
The results of failures for this policy can be confusing when aspell complains about words containing punctuation such as hyphens and apostrophes. In this situation aspell will often only emit part of the word that it thinks is misspelled. For example, if you ask aspell to check "foobie-bletch", the output only complains about "foobie". Unfortunately, you'll have to look through your POD to figure out what the real word that aspell is complaining about is. One thing to try is looking at the output of perl -MPod::Spell -e 'print Pod::Spell->new()->parse_from_file("lib/Your/Module.pm")'
to see what is actually being checked for spelling.
This policy will disable itself if File::Which is not available.
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.

Remember me
ISTANBUL - Turkish Daily News | 5/16/2008 12:00:00 AM | ASLI SAĞLAM
British sculptor David Cregeen, who was among the guests invited to a reception held yesterday, was commissioned to do a bust of the Queen 15 years ago. He says the Queen was very interested in the sculpting process
While Turkey celebrates the visit of Queen Elizabeth II, there is at least one man in Turkey who has already had the rare opportunity to meet her. British sculptor David Cregeen, who was among the guests invited to a reception held yesterday in Istanbul, first met Queen Elizabeth II 15 years ago when he produced a sculpture of her. The sculpture was eventually used as the basis for a stamp made for her Golden Jubilee in 2003. Cregeen was commissioned to do a bust of the Queen for the Sackler Foundation, created by the great American philanthropist Dr. Arthur M.Sackler. The project is called "Faces in History," and the Queen was asked by the director of the Commonwealth be part of the exhibition given her important historic role as the symbolic head of a union that includes such diverse nations as India, Canada, and Australia. Cregeen was chosen for the job, and went to Buckingham Palace for five sittings in order to produce the bust. Describing his admiration for the important role the Queen plays in the world, Cregeen noted, "The Queen is head of the Commonwealth, which is an association of 53 independent states consulting and co-operating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace." Cregeen is, in fact, the only sculptor who has had the opportunity to produce representations from life of four leading members of the British Royal Family –the Queen, Queen Mother, Prince of Wales, and, his wife, Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla. He has also made sculptures of Pope John-Paul II, President Mandela, President Gorbachev, Baroness Thatcher and is now about to work on one of the Dalai Lama. Cregeen fell in love with Turkey when he visited here with a friend of his in 1986, so much so that he decided to stay for good. He said that as soon as he arrived in Side, he fell in love with the place, ultimately deciding to settle there. Cregeen's reputation as a sculptor soon spread throughout Turkey. Since he arrived here he has produced sculptures of the late President Turgut Özal, and of Sakıp Sabancı and the rest of the Sabancı family. He said that he was very much honored to be invited by the British Council General Dame Barbara Hay, to see the Queen again. He said he had a wonderful time at the reception, especially because of the reception's beautiful location on a Royal Naval Vessel on the Bosphorous. Cregeen says that in the 15 years since he sculpted the Queen he has had an opportunity to see her a few times, the last of which was when she visited his exhibition, which included the busts he produced of four members of the royal family, in London at The Royal Commonwealth Society in 2006. Cregeen has fond memories of his experience sculpting the Queen. He says she was always a perfect professional. "Whatever she does she does it well, even simply sitting for a sculptor," he said, adding, "She is a serious and very considerate person so sometimes she would give me longer than the official one hour, on one occasion giving me as much as two and half hours." Cregeen said that his sessions with the Queen were always very relaxed. "She has a nice sense of humor and while I was sculpting we would talk about many things. Of course it was a very special time for me and I enjoyed it very much," Cregeen emphasized. The sittings took place in a room at the front of The Palace called the "Chinese Drawing Room," decorated with artwork and furnishing from the early 19th century. It is a very beautiful room," the sculptor said. He says he sometimes arrived early in order to organize his work, and the Queen would always show up at the exact time of the appointments, accompanied by her private secretary, a former British ambassador. "After she had taken her seat I would start to sculpt her with my clay, which I later cast into bronze," said Cregeen. He said the Queen was very interested in the sculpting process, which gave him an opportunity to discuss the other world-renowned sculpture he has produced of figures such as, British actor Sir John Guilgud, Prince Philip's first cousin, King Michael of Roumania, and, of course, the Queen Mother. He advised the Queen to visit Turkey, telling her that the country is a place not to be missed. She told him how much her daughter, Princess Margaret enjoys her yearly visits to stay, in which she stays in the south. During his visits, Cregeen also spent some time with Prince Charles, who he also tried to convince to visit Turkey, continuing the conversation when he stayed with the royal family in Scotland to sculpt Prince Charles' wife, the Duchess Camilla. Cregeen, who enjoys living in Side maintains a place in London where he travels frequently to visit members of his family who still live there. He has also often gone to New York where he is completing the commission for the Sackler's "Faces in History" exhibit.

'A Continuity Of Place And Blood"
The Seasons of Man in the Ozarks
December 1977 | Volume 29, Issue 1
Isolation has bred also a sense of neighborhood and an unconquerable resourcefulness. Because much of the highlands' agriculture is so marginally productive, men make do with old machines, traded in the commerce of farm dispersal auctionsmachines with the life already wrung out of them, that an lowan twenty years ago would have sent to the ditch. Such equipment breaks often.
In one Ozark locality I know there is a man named Morris Underwood, whose neighbors swear that if he ever moved away, or quit fixing things, farming for miles around would simply have to stop. They come towing their sick machines up the lane to his hill—a hill on which there have lived so many generations of . Underwoods that, on the topographic maps, it is identified by the family name.
Morris waits there, always smiling, not because he is glad for their misfortune but because he knows they are bringing him a new challenge. He is a huge, powerful man with great blunt fingers that can move as delicately as a surgeon's. There are many kinds of genius in this world, and Morris Underwood has true genius in those hands. There is no other word for it.
I have never seen him refer to any diagram or manual. He has no need of them. The way machines are put together and the way they function are mostly governed by a sort of lovely, uniform logic. Cylinders must fire in a certain order, and in an engineany engine-certain things must happen to allow them to do that. If a shaft is stuck fast in place, there must somewhere be a key, a pin. Not sometimes but always . There are laws in mechanics as invariable as the laws of nature. Morris' mind and hands are in harmony with this logic.
Once I watched him repair a tractor with a penknife. And I was there another time when an ancient hay baler was brought to him in grave distress. Something was wrecked in its innards. It would neither take hay in the front end nor discharge finished bales from the back end. When commanded to do either, it shook and chattered and made pitiable groans.
Morris walked around it and came back to the side where he had already decided the focus of the problem lay. His anticipation was plain to see.
"I've never worked on one of these," he said, speculatively but without the least fear. "When I get done, I'll know something, won't I?" Then he took out his penknife and began probing under the grease for the pin that he knew, beyond any doubt, must be there somewhere.
When I get done, I'll know something . It struck me that he had just expressed about as well as can be done the creed of a useful life. To have a gift; to apply it joyfully; to welcome problems for what they can teach; to go boldly onto new ground so that, tomorrow, you will know something that you don't know today.
Unpaid accounts with Morris get embarrassingly delinquent. He never presents a bill. And if a settling up should eventually come, always he will accept too little. Genius, in those hills, seldom commands its fair reward.
There was an Ozark farm, owned now by city people, that had been untenanted fifteen years or more, the oak-post fences brought down by fire, the fields gone back to broom sedge and blackjack sprouts, the house unlived in. I once knew the place as a trespasser.
Raccoons denned under the foundation and wasps swarmed in the attic. A trumpet vine, thrusting a tendril under a crack of bedroom window, had made forced entry and found purchase in the plaster of a wall, thriving, flowering, carpeting the floor with leaves as seasons turned. Wind and rot and squirrels had opened a hole the size of a washtub first through roof, then through inner ceiling, letting in the rain. A few years more and the house itself would start to lean.
A man named John Lewis came there late one autumn, his health already broken, hard weather not many weeks away. He and his wife, Oma, stood inside together for long minutes, then came out, and she announced with a kind of crazy, proud defiance, "We've lived worse places." Through sickness and evil luck, theirs had been a succession of new beginnings. So now they set about making yet another home.
Oma was a strong and loving woman. Among other things, she could bake a mock apple pie whose soda-cracker filling was as succulent as any apple that ever ripened on the branch.
As a boy, John had schooled some, and as a young man soldiered when asked to. He had dug for house coal in those Osage hills in what is called a dog hole-a two-man mine so cramped and wet that he'd had to work a hand pump to keep from drowning at the low place in the crawlway.
Wasted gaunt as the hounds he had loved to follow through night woods, he arrived in his fifties with more than a country man's ordinary equipment of skills. He was a master carpenter, a fair farmer, a skilled mason. He could plumb a little and wire a little. On days when his breath came freer, he could carry a chainsaw into the timber and make more f enceposts in a day than any well man I have known.
And with all of this he was an intellectual, in the honest meaning of that word. Sickness had led him to read much, first to pass time and then for pleasure. Ideas engaged him. He considered what he read. His own thoughts came out as finely turned as his carpentry, though always quietly, almost shyly spoken -for he seemed embarrassed sometimes by the richness of language he had come to command.

NOTE: This lot maintains the original Curtis frame. {blockquote}Edward Curtis is best known for his extensive time documenting The North American Indian. Sometimes criticized for staging images, he strived to capture traditional practices and rituals of the American Indians rather than provide exact documentation of day to day routines. Heavily influenced by the Pictorialist movement, his prints are characteristically tonalist in style. Curtis amplified and mastered the image quality in his photogravures and orotones, going so far as to name the orotone process after himself, coining his prints 'Curt-Tones.' The four orotones offered here are still preserved in their original batwing frames. In The Old Well of Acoma, 1904, the gentle nature of the scene echoes images of his contemporaries in photography like many of the pieces published in Camera Works such as, Annie Brigman's, The Bubble, also showing a soft intimate scene of a woman gathering water. He was able to maintain these characteristics while still capturing some of the important historical aspects of the Acoma. The women gathering water highlights the once plentiful water supply at the Pueblo along with displaying the incredibly intricate geometric designs in the Acoma pottery sitting between them. Signal Fire to the Mountain Gods, from 1912, the same attention to tonality while representing the conceived relationship of the American Indian and their respect for the grandeur of the land. The Vanishing Race - Navaho, 1904, represents Curtis's sensitivity for composition, timing, and a romantically soft focus with warm tonal effect. The figures on horseback appear to drudgingly recede toward the horizon in single file, vanishing from the space of the photographic image just as their way of life was vanishing. {/blockquote}

Another Canadiens player had undergone offseason surgery.
After prospect Louis Leblanc and forward Lars Eller, Mathieu Darche is the latest Canadien to go under the knife.
Darche underwent abdominal surgery Wednesday morning and his recovery time is expected to be between three and four weeks.
The Montreal native, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, scored 12 goals and added 14 assists in 59 games during the 2010-11 season.

Sorry, Darche is a nice guy but we need better skill and speed. I'd rather go with some one from the Bulldogs…we need to transition those players into the NHL to find out what we have.

Some thoughts at 2:30AM
JM spotted in Miami? Observing and dissecting the series vs Boston. If he really is there, that's great! Never stop learning. I love that.
Kirk Muller gone? Much respect to you Kirk. We'll be ready for you.
Darche? I'm willing to bet a beer that he is DAILY in text mesasge mode with Guy Boucher.
Elliott Friedman? Whatever. He makes 30 points when I save time and make 3… or 4… Word. 🙂

Gabriel Dumont has now scored 6 goals in the AHL playoffs over 17 games, he had 5G in 64 RS games.
Aaron Palushaj has 5G, 11A over 16 playoff games an improvement of 3G, 1A over his previous-year output in the postseason.

Eager has job but he needs to do it smartly–he lost his focus–you have to pick your sport

Bieksa is the key to Vancouver right now. SJ has to target him by hitting him. Not letting him dictate the game.

I know what you mean.
san jose needs to win game 3 so they have keep their heads focused but if the right opportunity comes, ryan clowe needs to take on bieska and put the message that you don't fight our key players—clowe needs to do it smartly and not put the team shorthanded however
ryan clowe would alsobe awesome on montreal–my kind of player also

So Eager is the kind of player we want, right? I mean he lights a spark, he stands up for his team mates, he plays 10 minutes and gets, what, 5 or 6 penalties. Yep, just what we need. A bone-head.

I understand Seguin will be playin' tomorrow. This despite the fact Bergy's back in the lineup now that his concussion is better 'n' all. Huge miraculous recovery. Vatican-style. Nothin' to see here, folks, the dude is totally, totally fine.
Odd man out is apparently Thornton.
Bad, bad move by the Broonz. Everyone knows that one-dimensional fourth liners is the way to go in the playoffs.
Everyone knows, baby.

The Sharks stopped playing after the 2nd and the Bieksa beatdown. Someone should have jumped in and protected Marleau.
JD_ says:Log in to Reply
The Sharks didn't stop playin'.
The boneheaded clown on skates, goes by the name Ben Eager, woke up the Sedins. He clearly wasn't payin' attention durin' the session on exactin' revenge durin' the playoffs. Then he takes a mind-numbingly useless penalty, which results in a goal, to take all the winds out of SJ's sails.
100% pure moron. No fillers.
McLellan will probably have a few choice words for the meathead after the game. What a waste of bench space.

I think the problem was the coach who should have picked his spot. Instead he had a hot potato and sent him out.
He should have waited.

Well the 'Nucks turned around a scored then proceeded to dominate the game. Unlike what the another popular team would have done.

Of course the coward turns his back to draw a penalty. I cannot believe what the Canucks have gotten away with penalty wise. If there were ever a case for proving there is no bias against canadian teams, this game would be it. Canucks are holding and hooking whenever they want, and never getting called.
EricInStL says:Log in to Reply
Would the CBC cheerlead like this for the Canadiens ????
Anyway, people shouldn't be surprised to see Ben Eager go after a Canuck, any Canuck especially a Sedin after Bieksa pounds Marleau. No one talks about that. Heck the broadcasters were practically laughing at the pounding Marleau took. hahaha Sedin tasted glass….

Vancouver looking good. Unreal to think that Laps and Higgins could very well hoist the Cup.

What is more thought provoking is that HIGGINS was a first line FWD centered by KOIVU three years ago. If Mulholtra (sp?) was there he would be on the 4th line. HIGGINS and many can thank HABS FANS for these crazy and undeserved contracts – geez.

In case anyone is interested, the Bulldogs clobbered the Aeros tonight, 8-1. Forced game 5. Allowed only 15 shots. Got 40 on goal themselves.
Worthy mentions:
Boyd 2G 2A +5
Palushaj 1G 2A +4
Dawes 2G +3
White 2A +2 29PIMAvtsin played his second playoff game. 1 shot is all he put up, however, 0+/-. Likely little ice time.
Some effort for being down 3-0 in the series. They don't want to go home yet.

Love Darche's work ethic, wish more of our players had it. What I'm hoping for next season is that Darche continues to play at the same level but become a permanent 4th liner. This would mean a better better lineup ahead of him and that would be a good sign of progress for the Habs.
HabinBurlington says:Log in to Reply
I love darche on 4th line with white and moen. Problem is when we have that same combination of guys scattered throughout 1st, 2nd and 3rd line.

Darche was my favorite player of the year. Don't get me wrong, I love Soobs and Price, but Darche's compete level is huge for a guy with lesser skills than those around him.

Darche is a good 3rd liner, works hard and plays to win. unless they can find someone better I'd bring him back. He's the best one in the bottom 6 and played more consistent than Gomez..Eller, or Halpern could replace Gomez..lot of money tied up……

Darche is an excellent 4th liner. He's passable as a 3rd liner if he's the 3rd best player on that line.
* Ville Leino would make Sergei Samsonov look like Alex Kovalev *
Sean Bonjovi says:Log in to Reply
I shouldn't say that. Darche would make good a third liner on a team that gets Lots of goals from it's first two lines. His 20 points / year just isn't a luxury the Habs can afford to have on their third line.

Darche is a warrior and he plays with pride. He's definitely a keeper and a steal at his price point. Easiest signing PG could make.
Speaking of PG, I like the 'relatively' minor signings for Emelin and Diaz. That sets things up nicely for Gill and Markov.
I've very curious who we'll be targeting up front. There's a need for scoring and a need for a bit of size and sandpaper… That's the big ask. PG pulls this off and he's a dead set legend.

Chapter one
Senior year at Kang High School, and today we have our final field trip and we're going on a 5 day and 4 nights stay at Mitsubishi hotel. I shared a room with another person although I don't know who it is or where my room was. I heard that there's a party tonight in room 304, I'm pretty sure my friends are going to go. So I'll just go and watch over them to make sure they don't do anything stupid. We got to Mitsubishi hotel and got off the coach bus, "hey! Michelle, Sarah," Angie called "we're finally here!!" she was so excited that she got 3 warnings and got detention. It was already 6 P.M. and we left at 5 A.M. and now I have to wait another hour with Angie to do her detention. By then when we finished doing detention we got ready to go to the party. We went to Angie's and Sarah's room, we brought tons of dresses, heels, makeup, and matching undie and bra sets. I wore a short black dress that brought out my figure and my black heels that were four almost five inches tall. Angie wore a pink dress, as expected her favorite color was pink. Sarah wore an ivory dress that brought out her eyes and skin color. She was so pale you couldn't even almost tell she was wearing a dress. We did our make up after that and then our hair. Of course I did all of our makeup and hair since I was the only one good at doing it. When we finished it was already 9 P.M. And the party started at 10 P.M. we had another hour left so we used that hour to paint our nails and took pictures. We got to the room at 10:15 because we lost our way in the hotel and had to ask for directions. When we got there the room was packed, people everywhere wearing dresses shorter than mine, heels taller than mine. I thought that those people are crazy, why would they wear dresses when they're so short you can see their asses. If they wanna wear that then just wear a shirt and their undie. What's so hard about that, it's as if they're telling guys that they wanna have sex and maybe they do. Ughh, people piss me off so much. That's why I hate going to these kinds of thing. I sat in a couch in the corner so nobody would see me, then I could watch over them. After two hours of doing nothing I got tired and told Angie and Sarah that I was going back to the room. I left the party room and turned to the left. I saw a sign that said room 407-512 was up ahead if you went through the door. I went through it and saw another sign and it lead to another small door that I had to climb wooden stairs for. I opened the door and walked down the steps lightly and saw that people were watching a movie yet doing things that they should be doing in their own room. I saw a guy staring at me hard and winked at me, I was disgusted and left. When I finally found my room I had trouble opening the door, after 10 minutes I got in. I stripped off my dress and heels. I let down my hair and went in the shower. When I got out of the shower, a man walked in and saw me. I turned to the wall to get my robe and walked out of the bathroom. I sat down on the bed still being shocked. "What are you doing in my room?" I said "your room? This is my room." He said. "No, this is my room Teacher Croff gave me and another person this room." I said. "Wait don't tell me you're my roommate?" "Well then I guess we've figured this out." He said. I looked around and only saw one bed. "You're sleeping on the floor." I said coldly. "Well I'm gonna take a shower now so don't peek!" he said merrily. "I ignored him and lay on the bed with my iPod in my left hand and a picture of my family in my right hand. Before I knew it I fell asleep on the king size bed.

The band played their new album in full with short animated films to accompany the tunes.
"The Hazards of Love," the Decemberists' most recent album, completed the Portland, Ore., quintet's metamorphosis from indie folk rockers to a full-on prog-rock band. Filled with odd time signatures and extreme changes in mood and volume, turning from twinkling, acoustic airs to thunderous heavy metal riffs on a dime, it's also, in '70s prog style, a concept album. At Royce Hall Monday night, the band also aligned itself with a contemporary trend, playing the album in full from start to finish, but upped the ante, accompanying their performance with animated films for a production they called "Here Come the Waves: Hazards of Love Visualized."
The concept album tells the story of star-crossed lovers William and Margaret, who are bedeviled by William's mother, the Queen, and the caddish Rake. "Here Come the Waves" is the kind of project that could easily collapse under the weight of its pretensions. But it succeeded, brilliantly. Indeed, "The Hazards of Love" felt even more of a piece onstage than on album. Even with the need to synchronize music to film, the band played with a welcome grit. With five sets of drums pounding, "The Rake's Song" was turned into a tribal stomp and, throughout the evening, Chris Funk added a metallic edge with his crunchy yet elegant guitar parts. But the real star of the show was guest vocalist Shara Worden. The My Brightest Diamond singer, a beautifully rough, bluesy shouter, was a revelation, bringing an electric passion to "The Wanting Comes in Waves" and "The Queen's Rebuke." In her duets with frontman Colin Meloy, Becky Stark, from local band Lavender Diamond, sang with a sweet innocence that was fitting for Margaret. Thankfully, no attempt was made to tell the story through the animation, which instead emphasized the bucolic and Victorian sensibilities of "Hazards," filtered at times through the imagery of '70s album cover art by Roger Dean (surreal landscapes loomed during "The Drowned") and Hipgnosis (their recurring black and white pyramids). There were wooden tubes spewing pollen, stars aligned and realigned to create their own constellations, and anthropomorphized animals engaged in a stiff, formal dance. Occasionally, the images were a bit too on the nose, such as the skull falling to the ground while Meloy sang "and you may have my precious bones" in "Annan Water." "Hazards" was followed by an hour of earlier material, and it was hard to believe the same band was onstage given the looseness and goofy humor that was absent earlier. Meloy led the aud in a counterpoint backing vocal; they switched instruments during "The Chimbley Sweep" and ended the evening with a wild cover of Heart's "Crazy on You," bringing Worden and Stark out again for the vocals.The Decemberists -- Here Come the Waves: Hazards of Love Visualized

More than 50 bikes from Jenkins Collection will be offered at no reserve.
Bonhams is privileged to offer for sale the collection of motorcycles assembled by Gloucester-based dentist and keen motorcycle enthusiast, the late Evan Aled Jenkins, who died last year.
The collection, which will go on sale at the Bonhams October Stafford Sale at The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show on Sunday 21st October, comprises more than 50 motorcycles offered without reserve. The machines are mainly Japanese with some British and Italian representation, and include some of the most desirable limited-edition models of recent times.
Foremost among the latter is the 2002 Yamaha 750cc YZF-R7 (also known as the OW-02), one of only 500 of this exotic production racer built to meet the homologation requirements of the World Superbike Championship. Unused and unregistered (but with DVLA entitlement to the most appropriate number plate: 'OW02 YAM'), it is estimated to fetch between £12,000 and £14,000.
Other highlights from the collection are:
- A limited edition 1999 Honda TT100 Fireblade Evolution (£4,000 - £4,500)
- A 2002 Honda SP-1 Joey Dunlop commemorative model (£2,500 - £3,000)
- A 2005 Bimota YB11 (£4,000 - £4,500)
- A 1994 Ducati 916SPS Fogarty Replica (£2,500 - £3,000)
- A 1978 Honda CBX1000 (£6,700 - £7,200)
- A 2000 Yoshimura Suzuki GSXR1300R Hayabusa X-1 Suzuka 8-Hour Replica (£5,000 - £5,500)
- A 1999 Honda CBR1200XX Super Blackbird 50th Anniversary model (£7,000 - £8,000)
- A 2000 Bimota SBR6 (£5,000 - £5,500)
- The ex-Holeshot Racing, Jarrod Frost, British Land Speed Record 1999 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa (£2,000 - £2,500)
Ben Walker, Head of the Motorcycle Department at Bonhams, said: "It is a privilege to offer this wonderful collection of modern-day classics on behalf of Aled's family. I can see exactly what Aled was trying to accomplish with his collection, and his passion and enthusiasm for machines is clearly evident.
"We anticipate a total entry of around 180 machines for our bi-annual sale at Stafford held in conjunction with The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, which is one of the most important sales that takes place during the year and the barometer for values and prices."
Bonhams, founded in 1793, is one of the world's largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques. The present company was formed by the merger in November 2001 of Bonhams & Brooks and Phillips Son & Neale. In August 2002, the company acquired Butterfields, the principal firm of auctioneers on the West Coast of America. Today, Bonhams offers more sales than any of its rivals, through two major salerooms in London: New Bond Street and Knightsbridge; and a further three in the UK regions and Scotland. Sales are also held in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Carmel, New York and Connecticut in the USA; and Germany, France, Monaco, Hong Kong and Australia. Bonhams has a worldwide network of offices and regional representatives in 25 countries offering sales advice and valuation services in 60 specialist areas.
