The Horse Forum
- Horse Trailers
- - AUSSIES WANTED FOR ADVICE!! or anyone who "knows" horse floats
AUSSIES WANTED FOR ADVICE!! or anyone who "knows" horse floats We have an amberly horse float, which we purchased on "mates rates" for a very cheap price. We need a larger float now, but have no idea of the resell price of our float!! I'll upload some pictures tomorrow probably, but heres a description anyway.. 2004 standard straight load float. dual axel with mechanical brakes (anyone can tow). it was fully refurbished in 2006/2007. im pretty sure it has a breakaway system but im not 100% on that one. Its white in colour with 3-tone back/grey pinstripe paint. It has removable and adjustable chest bars, removable divider, removable stallion divider and chains with rubber covers for the back (it has fittings for breaching doors, but we bought it without them. Unsure why they were changed). It also has a vinyl storm cover as well as sliding windows with purple tint, large front window, interior light and padding on chest bars, divider and float walls. I have a feeling its extended as you can fit 2 >16hh (fat) horses in there with ease, but i cannot verify as i dont know the dimensions. It has two full length access doors, and room up front for a rug/storage compartment (above heads), which also was taken out for unknown reasons. it has a few kick/scramble marks in it from the previous owners horse up the sides of the wall (its wooden, and we're reluctant to change it to rubber as if its not sprayed on it tends to peel). Any ideas on the resell price of this float..? Thanks!! |
Maybe go to horsedeals.com.au and see what something similar is selling for on there, or tradingpost.com.au |
We recently sold our 2004?? Karakar extended 2 horse staright load float to upgrade. It had a seperate lockable tack box at the front, rug rack up front, most of the things you described, and a set of 2 steel yards my dad made that mounted on the side. We sold our for 14k, I think. I would say for yours, without seeing it, maybe 12k? Like Pinto Pony said, have a look in horsedeals and see what similar floats are selling for. |
oh my god i feel like a ******!! i didnt even THINK of that!!! GAAH!! thanks haha |
ok so there's no floats that are close to exactly the same, and there's variating prices throughout depending on brand/colour/style etc. any idea on how much..? |
floats hold their prices really well, so as long as there is no obvious damage to it, you should be selling it for not much less than you brought it for. just pick a price a little lower, and if no-one calls just drop it a bit. they also sell really quick on horseyard.com good luck :) |
OK everyone..I know that your talking about horse trailers (as we call them) Why are they called floats there. Can you post some pics of your floats? Everytime I hear float I think of a parade float....:wink: Funny how the same basic things are called different things in a far off place....:D |

Lately, it seems like the best articles about the music biz come from Wired. Anyways, Edgar Bronfman is pissed off.. yet again. Is it because he just became a grandfather? Nope, it's because all of those music video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band have made over $2.3 billion and he's gotten very little of that cut. At a time when the music industry's tanking, Edgar recognizes that something has to be done.
"The amount being paid to the music industry, even though [these] games are entirely dependent on the content we own and control, is far too small," Warner Music Group CEO Edgar Bronfman told analysts last summer. The money Warner receives for the use of its songs is "paltry," he said, and if the gamemakers don't pony up more cash, "we will not license to those games." In response, Rock Band publisher MTV Games is now boycotting Warner artists, according to a source close to the negotiations.
Good job Edgar, now we can't play Sugar Ray on any future Rock Bands!
So what will happen? The article mentions how Edgar has already blocked the game people from covering songs from Warner's catalog. This is worse than WMG pulling all their music off of Youtube.
We should all recognize though that the labels are at these video game companies's knees. Steve Schnur, the music guy at EA who helped Madden become a franchise, gets thousands of demos a week and has people begging to be in one of his games.
According to the article, Aerosmith has made more money with their GH game than with any other album in their history. But how can the labels make some dough off of all of this?
The labels ought to push for more such titles and integrate them into their promotional strategies. They might not maximize profit on the licensing, but who cares? With more entries to come in the play-along genre, and networked hardware to play them on, the games themselves could even become an online music retail channel to rival iTunes. Or what about a game for turntable artists? Labels could provide the stem tracks for songs (in which each instrument's recording is isolated) and let players mix their own versions. Users could vote for their favorites through online services like Xbox Live, and Warner could sell the winning mixes back to customers using the very platform on which they were created. Call it Wii-Mix.
Or you can just buy the company like Universal did with Activision. Sigh Edgar, don't **** this one up too.

UT Winter Star FITA - January 19, 2008 72 arrow, 70 meter rounds shot at the UT archery field in the dead of winter, with temperatures starting that morning at below freezing, rising to a daily high at 4pm of around 58 degrees F. Winds were nearly calm, and there were no clouds. Shooting was delayed due to sub-freezing temperatures. |
Due to the limitations of the 19th, with freezing temps causing a delayed start and short daylight hours we were not able to shoot the full tourament planned. As a result (and after verification with a FITA official concerning the delay in completion), an additional 72-arrow round to complete the tournament was shot as soon as the weather was good enough and when the judge and DOS were both available, on 1/29/2008. FITA Judge James Corral, official at the Jan 19 date, was official for the 29th finishing date. Temperatures were good and the winds were mild up until the last few ends when another cold front blew into Austin. Thanks go to the University of Texas and the UT Archery Club for conducting these tournaments.

Results 1 to 4 of 4
Thread: So I just inherited a tank.
So I just inherited a tank.
I just got a 29g tank...I was originally told it was going to be a 40g but I looked at it and could tell it wasn't that large. So I measured it to confirm. up a 29g tank. I wanted to make this a Salt Water tank, because I REALLY want a SW tank...but knowing that I've lost a good 11g of space, I'm hesitant about doing so.
I have two penguin 150 BW's for it, and I can replace the lighting because I wanted to go reef.
Should I even bother to make this a Reef tank, or should I just make it a FW tank? What could I even stock in a 29g?
0A 29 gallon is not a bad size for a SW tank. You can make that a reef tank, but I would not do it without using live rock for your filtration instead of the HOB filters. Wither or not you will need to up-grade the lighting would depend on the current lighting on the tank as well as the types of corals you would want to keep. Sometimes you can just get away with only up-grading the bulbs. There are a lot of smaller fish you can stock in a 29 gallon tank, but you will be limited to smaller fish like some of the gobys, some the cardinals, and maybe a clown fish depending on the swimming space in the tank.
Wither you make it a SW or FW tank is completely up to you. If you do decide to make it a SW tank, then I would suggest to do a little research first. IMO as reef is not any harder than a FW planted tank, but you still need to do your home before setting it up.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
0I'll for sure be doing it with Live rock. But I wasn't sure how much I'd want to put in a 29g tank...
The hood has a single tube spot, and I was thinking of doing colorful polyps and corals, maybe some soft or mushroom types.
Stocking wise:
I really wanted to try and do a Clown, a Dragonet,a shrimp, maybe a clam?
I've seen some people say that Drag need at least a 55g, however I've seen people keeping them in smaller tanks online.
Equipment: Should I look into getting a protein skimmer and powerhead?
I already have a heater, and thermometer. Going to purchase a Refractometer,and the test kits that I'm missing.
0Also, this tank used to be a FW tank used for Ciclids, I know I'm going to need to give this a good cleaning before I use it for my SW, should I stick with doing SW on this tank because its been used as FW for song?

Reports based on communication intercepts from 2010 to 2012 and other intelligence in classified documents available with the Washington Post indicate that officials in Pakistan's security apparatus weren't only targeting suspected insurgents when it came to extra-judicial action and that there was in deed a plot in the works to "eliminate" prominent rights activist Asma Jahangir.
According to the summary of a top-secret Defence Intelligence Agency (report), US intelligence agencies had in May 2012 discovered evidence of Pakistani officers plotting to kill Jahangir.
The DIA report did not identify which officers were plotting the attack against the activist, but said the plan "included either tasking militants to kill her in India or tasking militants or criminals to kill her in Pakistan".
The US agency said it did not know whether the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), of which Jahangir has been a leading public critic, had approved for the plot to proceed. And although, the report speculated that the ISI was motivated to kill Jahangir "to quiet public criticism of the military," the agency noted that such a plot "would result in international and domestic backlash as ISI is already under significant criticism for intimidation and extra-judicial killings".
News of the alleged plot became public a few weeks later when Jahangir gave interviews in the Pakistani media, saying she had learned that officials of Pakistani intelligence had authorised her killing.
Addressing reporters on June 4, 2012, Jahangir had said that through a security leak brought to her attention by a highly credible source, she had discovered that an assassination attempt was being planned against her from the highest levels of the security establishment.
Jahangir said she thought it best to go public with the information as she feared that she could be killed and a member of her family framed for the murder.


text: Discovered this pic recently of a Sullustan who appeared in one of the prequel movies. I don't know where to spot him or even which movie he appeared in. I think it would be cool to get an action figure of this guy someday. Does he have a name? Can anyone tell me anything about this guy?


text: I'm kinda obsessed with this track by Kansas City hipsters, Republic Tigers. Maybe it's the Phil Spector-ish wall of sound harmonies or perhaps it's the thumping bass riff, which drives the ear worm melody. Whatever. In these times of throwaway pop, it's the well crafted and subtely produced songs that are truly memorable, and these guys have it in spades, as reflected right across their brilliant debut album, Keep Color.

Thursday, September 22. 2005grml-vpnWe just have a developer meeting in Graz and Gebi wrote a script namend grml-vpn. grml-vpn is a program to establish encrypted communication channels in a network. We just tested it and it really rocks. :-) It's very easy to use, take a look at the usage example: Gebi (root@gebi) starts grml-vpn on his laptop with key/passphrase 'test' and uses his and my ip for the encrypted communication channel: root@gebi # grml-vpn -k test add 1000 192.168.1.104 192.168.1.101 I (root@mika) am using the same command line on my laptop: root@mika # grml-vpn -k test add 1000 192.168.1.104 192.168.1.101 To demonstrate that it's working let's use IPsec's setkey command: root@mika # setkey -D192.168.1.101 192.168.1.104 Now let's check whether it's really encrypted: root@mika # ping 192.168.1.104 Bingo! :-) |

I have a large patch in which I have several synth manipulating video in Jitter. Everything was working fine, but once I added a live.step my patch began to lag when scrolling. The main problem is when I which over to presentation mode the CPU spikes and the sound begins to crackle. In patcher mode I don't have that problem. I have tried all the trick with the DSP controls, getting rid of any un-needed number box, and whatever suggestion I can find. But none really address the spike in CPU during presentation mode
I'm all out of ideas and I would love to some from more experienced users. (also sorry about the spelling I'm extremely dyslexic.) Thanks
BUMP!!! same problem but with audio… looking at the activity monitor when I flick into presentation mode I jump from 20-30% CPU straight into the 80% which messes with anything I have working within the signal domain (which like Aornery I have been as minimal as I can possibly be)… however everything runs smooth out of presentation mode….
Where there any suggestions??
Hey man, just found a solution that fixed my problem,… dont totally understand what this does exactly but…
Go to Preferences > Select the "All" drop down tab > find the "Scheduler" section > tick the "Overdrive" option.
It worked for me but if it doesn't for you maybe you can mess with some settings in that area ("Scheduler").
Ps, it hasn't solved the CPU issue but everything sounds as it should,.. good luck!

It'a a message board dedicated to a sport that none of us get paid to play, watch or discuss. It's built and thrives on frivolous debate.
Printable View
The extreme points I made were in earlier posts when I asked should other players be benched because the RB fumbled and they did not recover it.
To this latest ridiculous post all I can say is, "Are you serious?" Let's keep it simple. If a running back fumbles the ball and it's recovered for an 8 yard loss by the LT did that fumble hurt or help the team? If a player fumbles the ball without contact and had a clear path to the end zone, but the ball is instead recovered by a teammate short of the endzone did the fumble help or hurt the team?
The bigger issue was that Tiki Barber came into the league with ball security issues and when his touches increased his fumbles shot through the roof. Mostly, I'm guessing because the word got out that he was a fumbler, so where in the first 3 years he fumbled only occasionally (9 times)as an unknown RB, once his touches increased by year 4 every time he touched the ball defenders where trying to strip him due to his reputation as a fumbler.
To bring this full circle, Tiki Barber fumbled 45 times from 1999-2004, never did he receive an extended benching. Compare that to Wilson fumbling in his first game as rookie and then being benched for the majority of the season. It's a joke that TC would try to hold up this high standard for TOs as the reason.
Ha! You are preaching to the quire. I just think players should have a fair shot before we write them off. 126 touches seems like too small a sample to decide if a RB that has made some plays playing behind a decidedly porous line is the real deal or not; that's just me though.
As for Eli, I was definitely disappointed in his effort last year. Our most important player was our worst performing player, and it was totally unexpected.
Same as a tackle for an 8 yard loss. Same as a tackle right before the end zone.
As to Tiki, he'd already established himself as a game breaker that could make game changing plays by the time his fumbles increased as his load increased in 2000. His years of 2000-2003 were when he fumbled the most times, 9 (lost 3), 8 (lost 2), 9 (lost 6), and 9 (lost 6), respectively. Those were all under Fassel. Obviously, his coaching approach was different (and more forgiving) than is Coughlin's. Turns out that Coughlin's approach worked quite well for Tiki (and for subsequent RBs), despite his bellyaching.
On the other hand, Coughlin did not have Wilson "in the dog house" his rookie season as much as many would have us believe. He did have Wilson return kick offs the entire season (maybe 1 game was excluded, I don't remember). That skill requires the returner to catch and protect the ball before running, with all 11 guys running full tilt boogie at him and him alone. That, to me, showed Coughlin did have trust in him, in spite of his first play/fumble of the year at RB.
The "it's Coughlin and Gilbride's fault" for Wilson's unimpressive 1 and 1/3 seasons as RB is overwrought and overstated, in my view. The fumble argument concerning Wilson's rushing talents is a side issue, as Morehead, you, and a couple others have indicated. It truly is only in the minds of some fans as a reason for not giving him more touches than he's had so far, but there is no evidence that confirms that belief.
However, a player of his perceived talent, who was drafted in first round because of the perception, absolutely MUST make the most of his limited playing time early in his first year. Entering year 3, and he has yet to prove he should be the primary RB on this team.

Saving money on holidays
We all want to pay less for our holidays, without sacrificing our fun in the sun (or snow, or city streets). Find out how to cut costs on your travel, currency and insurance cover.
- Getting a great deal on your holiday
- Your tips for paying for a holiday
- Using a price comparison website
- When to go and when to book
- Package holiday or DIY flights and hotel – what's best?
- Cheap travel insurance
- Cheap travel money
Getting a great deal on your holiday
Holidays can be expensive, but there are a few things you can do to keep your dream trip affordable.
Not sure what you can afford? Try our free Budget planner to work out what you can spend on your holiday.
- Shop around. Comparison sites, high street travel agents and smaller firms are all worth checking before you buy a trip, change currency or purchase travel insurance. The more places you ask the more likely you're to bag a bargain.
- Book your tickets at the right time. Find the best time of year to get cheap holiday deals. If you're flexible on dates, comparison sites can help you work out the cheapest time to travel.
- Haggle with high street operators. You might get them to offer you something cheaper than an online deal.
- Package holiday vs DIY. Package holidays include flights, accommodation and sometimes food and drink. They can be cheaper, but less flexible than holidays where you book everything separately.
- Match your trip to your budget. It's no fun spending the rest of the year worrying about money after going on a holiday you can't afford. If money's tight why not consider a cheaper trip, or a 'staycation'?
Using a price comparison website
Price comparison websites are a quick and easy way to find lots of information on getting a cheap holiday.
Simply tell one of these websites where and when you want to go and it will search the market for available options.
Remember not to just focus on price. Make sure the holiday you pick matches your needs and your budget.
Make sure you check more than one comparison website. They don't all work with the same airlines and suppliers, so if you only use one, you might miss out on the perfect deal.
Popular travel comparison websites
Many of these websites have a 'price alert' functionality, which means you can ask them to let you know if the cost of a trip falls below a certain sum.
When to go and when to book
The most expensive time to go on holiday, is when everyone wants to go.
School holidays and bank holiday weekends, for example, are two of the most expensive times to travel.
If, however, you're not too fussed when you travel, you could save a lot of money by going on holiday when fewer people want to.
You could, for example, consider travelling during the off-season and flying out on a Wednesday and coming back on a Tuesday.
It's also generally cheaper to book your flight as early as possible. You can use momondo's tool below to work out when might be cheaper.
momondo's flight insight tool
If you're flexible with your dates then you might be interested in momondo's tool, which estimates future flight prices.
To use it:
- go to the momondo website
- type in your preferred dates and destination and click 'Search'
- once the results are loaded, click 'Flight insight' in the top right hand corner
The insight screen will give you lots of useful information on your chosen destination, including an estimate of the cheapest months to go, the least expensive airlines and even the best time of day to fly.
If you want to go from London to New York, momondo suggests that the cheapest months to go are February and November.
The most expensive are July and August.
It also lists the cheapest airlines, on average, as well as the least expensive airports to fly from and to.
Remember the insights you get aren't set in stone and should only serve as an indication of what options might be cheapest.
Check as many sources as possible to make sure you find the best prices.
Package holiday or DIY flights and hotel – what's best?
When you book your holiday, you've got two main options:
- Buy a package holiday, usually through a tour operator. The package includes flights and accommodation, and sometimes food and drink too if you go all-inclusive.
- Put together a DIY holiday. You choose and pay for your accommodation and flights separately – great if you're looking for something specific.
Package holidays tend to be cheaper, especially for more popular destinations, but it's worth checking both options.
Sometimes you can get a special deal if you book separately.
If you book a package holiday through a company with an Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) or one that's a member of the travel association ABTA, then you get protection if they go bust. It's worth noting, you don't get this if you go DIY.
If you're planning on going on holiday with a group of people, some operators offer group bookings.
These can be cheaper than individual bookings, so it can be worth asking.
Cheap travel insurance
As with anything else, with travel insurance it pays to shop around.
Don't buy direct from your travel agent or travel website, unless you're sure it's the best deal. (It almost certainly won't be.)

Buying a holiday by credit card
If you use your credit card to buy a holiday costing over £100 and up to £30,000, you're covered by 'section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act.
This means the credit card company has equal responsibility with the seller if there's a problem with the things you've bought.

'Bonnie and Clyde' Crime Spree Suspects Arrested Without a Fight
(ELKO COUNTY, Nev.) -- A couple dubbed "the modern-day Bonnie and Clyde" after a murderous crime spree and chase that led investigators across two states gave up without a fight Tuesday when police tracked them down in Nevada.
Logan McFarland, 24, and Angela Atwood, 25, are suspected of the murder of an elderly couple in Mount Pleasant, Utah, another attempted murder and the carjacking of a woman's vehicle, which then set off a police pursuit across 330 miles of Utah and Nevada over five days.
McFarland and Atwood were arrested without incident Tuesday afternoon near the Big Springs Ranch by Elko County, Nev., sheriff's deputies, a U.S. Marshals spokesman told ABC affiliate KTVX in Salt Lake City.
A rancher who is also an Elko County commissioner was in a plane checking on his cattle Tuesday when he spotted the two walking about 30 miles west of Wendover, and he contacted police, U.S. Marshals spokesman Jim Phelps said.
Neither of the two had been charged Tuesday evening, and federal officials said they would drop a charge of unlawful flight to let state authorities handle the case.
Police say the couple's crime spree began last Thursday when they stole a car in Moroni, Utah, about 100 miles south of Salt Lake City. A day later and eight miles away, police say the suspects broke into the home of retired couple Leroy and Dorotha Fullwood.
Investigators found signs of a struggle inside the home and believe the Fullwoods, who were found dead on New Year's Eve, were murdered after a botched robbery. Surveillance video later captured the male suspect at a convenience store, allegedly using the couple's stolen credit cards.
"A credit card receipt was found in the vehicle that corresponded with residence here," Police Chief Jim Wilberg of the Mt. Pleasant, Utah, police department said. "They ransacked the house. There is a lot of evidence that's been collected."
Police believe that after stealing the Fullwoods' car the suspects drove more than 200 miles into Nevada, where the next morning they carjacked a woman at gunpoint. The couple allegedly shot the woman in the head as she managed to escape. Miraculously, the victim made her way to a Nevada police station, then was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
"[The victim] was transported by an ambulance here to an awaiting medical helicopter," Sgt. David Wiskerchen of the West Wendover, Nev., police department told ABC News.
She is recovering at a Salt Lake City hospital after undergoing surgery, according to KTVX.
Police managed to catch up with the suspects on a Nevada highway, pursuing them at speeds more than 100 miles per hour, but the two avoided a spike trap and managed to elude state troopers on back-country roads.
That was the last police saw of them until the rancher led them to where he'd seen them walking.

The makers of Ek Boond Ishq asked Chhavi to smooch her co-star for a consummation scene, but she denied it
As you know, Salman Khan has a 'No on-screen lip-lock policy'. And it looks like Chhavi Pandey, who portrays the character of Tara in Life OK's Ek Boond Ishq is also going the Salman way. From what we hear, Chhavi was asked by the makers to smooch her co-star Viraf Patel, who plays Mrutyunjay, during the shoot of a consummation sequence, but she denied it because she is not comfortable with it.
"Television is a medium which reaches out to household audience. People watch the shows with their families. I do not want any reason for people to switch to another channel due to discomfort. I belong to a conservative Brahmin family and my parents would not like to see me indulge into something like this on-screen; moreover I am not comfortable," Chhavi was quoted by a portal.
While Ram Kapoor, Sakshi Tanwar, Kushal Tandon have any qualms performing bold and intimate scenes, looks like Chhavi prefers to stay old school.
Well, as they say different people, different choice.

Good Day
Recently I attempted to put a new application on my blackberry. In the attempt it told me that I needed to have version 4.2 and it appears that I have 4.1
I would like to update my BB, but have no idea how to do that. I went to a Rogers store in my area, they said to call the help line, and sadly they were not the least bit of help.
I got this phone from my company as it was no longer needed and was going to be tossed out..
Can any one give me fairly easy instructions on what to do?
I downloaded BB Device Manager 4.2, but it asks for a password for "windows login information".. I have no idea if this is supposed to be the one on my computer or something else. I dont have a log in password. on my personal computer so I am not sure what it is asking for..
Any help? PLEASE
You need to get 4.2 DEVICE SOFTWARE. Not Desktop Manager.
This is available from your carriers website.
Here is the DIRECT link for the ROGERS device software.
From the drop down box you need to select what device you have... 8700r and then the highest download option on the page.
Which would be this one:
BlackBerry Handheld Software v184.108.40.206 (Multilanguage)
Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.
Once promted, you save it to your desktop. Once download, you double click the file to install it to your computer.
THEN, you connect the device and it will prompt u to upgrade it.
If not, go to application loader and it will do it from there.
You can update device software online.
Connect your device via USB-cable to the computer.

Muppet Wiki:Assume good faith
this wiki
To assume good faith is a fundamental principle on any wiki. As we allow anyone to edit, it follows that we assume that most people who work on the project are trying to help it, not hurt it. If this weren't true, a project like Muppet Wiki would be doomed from the beginning.
When you disagree with someone, remember that they probably believe that they are helping the project. Consider using the Forum to explain yourself, and give others the opportunity to do the same. This can avoid misunderstandings and prevent problems from escalating. Especially, remember to be patient with newcomers, who will be unfamiliar with wiki culture and rules.
A newcomer's behaviour probably seems appropriate to him or her and a problem usually indicates unawareness or misunderstanding of wiki culture. It is not uncommon for a newcomer to believe that an unfamiliar policy should be changed to match their experience elsewhere. Similarly, many newcomers bring with them experience or expertise for which they expect immediate respect. Behaviors arising from these perspectives are not necessarily malicious.
Assuming good faith is about intentions, not actions. Well-meaning people make mistakes, and you should correct them when they do. What you should not do is act like their mistake was deliberate. Correct, but don't scold. There will be people on Muppet Wiki you disagree with. Even if they're wrong, that doesn't mean they're trying to wreck the project. There will be some people you find hard to work with. That doesn't mean they're trying to wreck the project either; it means they annoy you.
If you assume bad faith, several things may happen:
- Personal attacks: Once you've made a personal attack, the target will probably assume bad faith. The edit war will get even uglier. People, like elephants, rarely forget.
- Losing sight of the NPOV (neutral point of view) policy. The ideal is to make articles acceptable to everyone. Consider figuring out why the other person felt the article was biased. Then, if possible, try to integrate their point, but in terms you consider neutral. If each side practices this they will eventually meet at NPOV — or a rough semblance of it.
Correcting someone's error (even if you think it was deliberate) is better than accusing him or her of lying because the person is likely to take it in a good natured fashion. Correcting a newly added sentence that you know to be wrong is also much better than simply deleting it.
This guideline does not require that editors continue to assume good faith in the presence of evidence to the contrary. Things which can cause the loss of good faith include vandalism, personal attacks, and edit warring.

Roman Hamrlik and Joel Ward Host Capitals Hockey School At Thurgood Marshall Elementary School
by Staff Writer / Washington CapitalsARLINGTON, Va. – Washington Capitals defenseman Roman Hamrlik, forward Joel Ward, assistant coach Dean Evason and Air-SlapShot visited Thurgood Marshall Elementary School in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Feb. 15, to host the Capitals Hockey School. The Capitals adopted Thurgood Marshall Elementary School for the 2011-12 school year.
The players began the session fielding questions from students in the school's gymnasium before directing a floor hockey clinic with 50 first- through fifth-grade students. Hamrlik and Ward instructed the students on basic hockey skills such as stick-handling, passing and shooting. The students were then called on to try out the skills in front of their peers. Two students volunteered to be dressed as goaltenders, learning how to put on the equipment and how to handle the goalie stick. Ward and Hamrlik then competed in a shootout on behalf of the students. Ward worked with the girls' team and defeated Hamrlik and the boys' team 3-2.
Following the shootout competition the students played alongside the pair of players in a friendly scrimmage. Hamrlik played with the boys and Ward played with the girls' team, which resulted in another win for the girls, 1-0. The hour-long program concluded with the Capitals donating a set of hockey equipment to the elementary school.
This marked the 10th Capitals Hockey School visit this season. The Capitals host two Hockey School visits each month between September and May and donate street hockey equipment to each participating school.
"It was good to see the kids have fun today and be able to teach them some new skills," said Hamrlik. "I think everyone had a good time. The kids really seemed to love it," Ward said. "I was proud of the girls' team today. We came away with some big wins."
All students who participated in the session received autographs from Hamrlik and Ward, Caps squishy pucks and Hockey 101 booklets. The school also received an official Capitals Hockey School banner to display in their school year-round.
This is the fifth-consecutive year the Capitals have conducted their Hockey School program. The Caps have hosted more than 50 clinics and reached more than 7,500 students in the past four years. Hockey School is a free program, designed to be both instructional and interactive, with the goal of exposing students to floor hockey while teaching proper hockey technique.

Pregnancy and Chronic High Blood Pressure
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
Women with chronic high blood pressure require special medical care before, during, and after their pregnancies.
- Some blood pressure medicines are not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor if you take blood pressure medicines and are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
- High blood pressure (140/90 mm Hg or higher) during a pregnancy
increases the risks of:
- Preeclampsia.
- Fetal growth problems (intrauterine growth restriction, or IUGR).
- Placenta abruptio.
Many women with chronic high blood pressure need little or no medicine during pregnancy. Blood pressure usually falls during early pregnancy, so medicine is often not needed unless blood pressure increases to higher levels.
To reduce your risk for preeclampsia, your doctor may recommend that you take low-dose aspirin during the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy.
Undiagnosed chronic high blood pressure and pregnancy
High blood pressure is a disorder with few or no symptoms. When planning a pregnancy, see your doctor for a review of pregnancy risks, such as high blood pressure.
Women with elevated blood pressure during pregnancy receive frequent blood pressure readings, blood tests, and urine screens for signs of preeclampsia.

Winter Weather Advisory Above 5500′
The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 10 am this morning to 5 am MST Thursday.
The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 10 am this morning to 5 am MST Thursday.
The National Weather Service in Great Falls has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for a flash freeze... which is in effect until 11 PM MST this evening. A Winter Storm Warning for elevations above 6000 feet remains in effect until 5 am MST Thursday.
Need further proof that Starbucks coffee shops are literally everywhere? Then look no further than this ski-thru Starbucks located atop a mountain. (For real!)
Who is missing winter???
The National Weather Service in Great Falls has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect until noon MST
Colleen and I talked with my brother Mike on XL Country Tuesday morning. He called from Tulsa during the BEAST of a storm there. Almost TWO feet of snow fell around Tulsa. And for the first time in history, the state of Missouri shut down Interstate 70 between St. Louis and Kansas City due to a winter storm. The newspaper in Tulsa, Okla., canceled its print edition for the first time in more than a century. And in Chicago, public schools called a snow day for the first time in 12 years.
If you have ever seen the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" you may be interested in the weather forecast for the next week. While it doesn't carry the drama that Hollywood was able to create, it does carry the snow. Experts are expecting record amounts of snow and ice.
Skiing up hill. Yes, you read correctly - skiing up hill. That's a new thought in my noggin. It kind of goes against everything your body feels and your brain thinks. But that's what you do in backcountry snowboarding. OK - so not only do I have to learn how to ski, I have to do it uphill. Hmm.
Up next was the splitting of my snowboard, and the mounting of the hardware the bindings will attach to. THANK YOU World Boards for doing such a great job!
I have actually found a buck or two sometimes just walking in a parking lot. I pick it up of course. Even though it's only a buck, I look around quickly to see if anyone is nearby that might have dropped it. Walking through parks I've found everything from backpacks to ballcaps, to pens. But what this person found is a true treasure!

GCN survey points to troubling disconnect
In a recent GCN phone survey of federal IT managers [GCN, May 2, Page 24] only one-third of federal IT managers responded that spyware and phishing were a major concern, and less that half responded that viruses and hackers were a major concern. The survey results are both informative and troubling.
The FISMA grades reflect an insecure federal computer security environment, yet the survey shows that federal managers are confident in their computer security and are not concerned about emerging cyberthreats such as spam, spyware and phishing. This disconnect between the FISMA grades and the federal managers' beliefs is something the Committee on Government Reform will examine further.
Emerging cyberthreats such as spam, phishing and spyware pose security risks to federal information systems. The Government Accountability Office is currently performing work for the committee on these emerging threats facing federal agencies and whether agencies have fully addressed these risks as part of their agencywide information security programs. The committee looks forward to examining the results of the GAO study to find more ways to improve federal information security.
Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.)

Make broadband a modern day utility
Regarding your (March 21) story, 'Philadelphia Free-for-All' and CIO Dianah Neff, I say, 'Go Dianah! Go!' It's interesting that we have the government revolting against private business. That's a switch!
But we are in need of a telecommunications revolution in this nation. It's about time someone stepped up to the plate and recognized that ubiquitous, affordable Internet access is not an option for municipal growth and that governments have the right but also the duty to ensure that an affordable product is available.
The Regional Bell Operating Companies are a creation of a piece of legislation birthed in 1934 and only updated in the past 20 years. The original universal service model of dense urban areas funding rural areas is rapidly becoming obsolete and the entire machine that governs the operation of local telecommunications service is in bad need of repair.
While the government has no right to mandate sole use of their network, they have every right to build and offer all their citizens a low-cost service.
Pennsylvania has deeper problems in many rural townships where there is no broadband access available for schools and they are forced to use dial-up. Almost 5 percent of Pennsylvania public schools are in this situation. The RBOCs rightly won't spend the bucks to deliver broadband to these areas because the market doesn't have a payback.
But they cannot have their cake and eat it too. If they won't provide true universal and affordable broadband to all areas of the state, then they shouldn't also have the right to adversely select cash cow areas like Philadelphia for their wrath against the government for stepping up to the plate and providing service. What they are really afraid of is complete bypass via voice over IP.
Universal broadband Internet access is a necessity for millennial learning and participation in the digital economy. All public schools and constituents should have this type of service available by any number of means. Just as Samuel Insull rethought the private electric company model and defined the rules for the modern utility, we are going to have to rethink the interplay between private telecommunications and government.

A sledding excursion turned into a rescue operation after a man fell into a frozen lake in Wrightwood, Calif.
The incident was caught on tape as one person after another tried to save the man only to slip on the ice themselves.
A crowd gathered on shore, frantically screaming for help.
After five minutes, nearly a dozen people were in the water while others throw ropes and inner tubes to no avail.
Mickey Herman pulled double duty. You can hear him calling for a rope to help in the rescue efforts all the while capturing the ordeal on camera.
"When the people started going through the ice, it was just total panic. You saw people taking their belts off. It was just total chaos and out of control. We saw that poor guy, the first one to go in, it was obvious he didn't know how to swim," he said. "We thought that might be it. We wouldn't see him again. Fortunately he came back up."
Nine minutes later, the man who first fell in along with all of his would-be rescuers managed to make it out of the water.
All of them are doing just fine.

I have a very thick accent for my son's practice of spelling. His teacher says he spells the way we talk as we are all learning your language. Are there websites that help first-graders with pronouncing correct English?
Yes, try spellingcity.com. You can type in your child's spelling words and the computer will read off the words, give spelling tests and use the words in sentences as well.
We have furlough days off in our school that are all spread out over the year and we are being told that more may be added. Can they legally take more days off the school calendar? Isn't there a legal number of days that are required, and aren't we at that minimum already?
When all of these budget cuts started a few years ago, the governor at the time cut the number of days children were required to come to school. This was done so furlough days could be used to cut the pay of teachers and staff. Teachers, for example, are paid only for each day they work. And most of the cost of education comes in the form of salaries.
My school district used to have children come more than the required 180 days. After the cuts, when the governor lowered the required number of school days to 175, most districts eliminated the "extra" days from their calendars so they could use salary cuts to balance their budgets.
This year, school budgets depend in part on whether voters pass Proposition 30. If it passes, the governor has said school funding won't be cut, keeping those furlough days at their current level. If the proposition fails, the governor has indicated deep cuts in school spending will be needed. For that reason, the state has approved shortening the school calendar by up to three more weeks – for a total school year of 160 days.
School districts would then need to determine how to make up any shortfalls. For some, it might be as much as all 15 new furlough days. Others may choose different ways to trim spending or rely on some furloughs.

Philsophy: Turn Risk into a choice
The assessment and prevention of the risks that could affect the Group's values and objectives has always been an integral part of the innovative spirit and professional excellence on which Pirelli's historical identity was founded.
Risk is a fact of business life: a preventive analysis of risk factors and an assessment of their impact on a company performance are essential prerequisites for value creation. On these bases, decision-makers are allowed to make choices knowingly.
Considering that risks represent a key component of business, the new integrated risk governance model (Enterprise Risk Management) has the following mission:
- "to manage" risks in terms of prevention and mitigation;
- to seize" proactively the opportunity factors;
- to disseminate the "culture" of the value of risk within the Company, in particular, in the strategic planning and operating processes and in the most significant business choices;
- to assure transparency in relation to the risk profile assumed and the management strategies implemented, based on periodic and structured reporting to the Board of Directors and to the Top Management and adequate information to the shareholders, and more in general, to the so-called stakeholders.
In harmony with these aims, Pirelli's Enterprise Risk Management is:
- enterprise-wide: extended to all types of potentially significant risks/opportunities;
- value-driven: focused on the more significant risks/opportunities in relation to their capacity to prejudice the achievement of Pirelli's strategic objectives or to erode critical corporate assets (so-called Key Value Drivers);
- top-down: the Top Management identifies the priority risk areas and the events of greatest impact for the business;
- quantitative; where possible, based on an accurate measurement of the impacts caused by the risks on the expected economic/financial results in relation to their probable occurrence;
- integrated in the decision-making/business processes and, in particular, in the strategic planning and operational process.
Pirelli's Enterprise Risk Management model forms part of three key phases in the decision making process:
- strategic planning (medium/long term);
- operational planning (annual and quarterly);
- new investment projects/businesses.
It is worthwhile noting that the Enterprise Risk Management model goes beyond the strategic, operative planning and analysis of investment projects through a continuous monitoring and management of operational risks.
Risk analysis in strategic planning | Risk analysis in the annual and quarterly operational planning | Risk analysis in new investment projects/business | Operative risks analysis |
The analysis of operating risks forms an integral part of the Group's internal control system; ad hoc methods are developed for each risk area with the aim of identifying the vulnerabilities of the control systems and the possible impacts for the Group.
The areas of vulnerability which emerged are subject to a continuous follow-up activity performed by the Operating Risks Committee.

Of course this being Texas, that's very much not the case. Advertisement Let's take these two Starlets one at a time, starting with the poop-colored one. This tiny hatch has had its 1,290-cc 4K unceremoniously ripped out and replaced with a twin-cam 4A-GE four, notably late of an AE86. Stock, that Yamaha-headed engine pumped out anywhere from 112-126-bhp, depending on the model. This one has the cam cover lettering painted red, which could indicate that it's the higher tuned edition, but we're not stopping there. In addition to the bigger (1,600-cc) mill, this Starlet gains a Garrett turbo and NOS, just freakin' because. No horsepower rating is given in the ad but it's likely to be in the hoo-hoo, hee-hee, oh-my range. Backing up the heavily stressed 4A is a 5-speed W55 gearbox, and that sends power back to a 4:30 rear-end with a disc brake conversion. Aside from some shiny wheels, this turd-colored rocket appears intended to travel in stealth mode. Advertisement Sponsored I guess you could call the other one poop-colored as well, but it's more of a baby's-first-summer yellow than traditional cinnamon starfish brown. It also features and entire left front fender and pinned hood are painted in tough-guy primer gray. Unlike the other Starlet, this one seems somewhat rough - sort of the Merle to the brown one's Daryl. It's also different in what lies under its hood, eschewing Toyota power entirely for Mazda rotary motivation. That means a 12A which stock put out 101-hp, a nice upgrade to the Starlet's factory 58, but, seeing this is Texas, not nearly enough. It too gains a turbo, this one blowing through a Holley carb. No other specs are given for the yellow car although it does appear to have traded its front bumper for a nice air-to-air intercooler. The seller says that both cars are in great shape and they come with clean titles. Again, this being Texas that probably doesn't mean a damn thing. If you were to try and title either of these rides in someplace like California they'd probably lock down the DMV and ship you off to the CARB re-education camp. I'm just hypothesizing that last bit, but let's just say that Texas is a little more liberal in their automotive emissions standards, and nothing else. So there you go - two for one; twin sons of different mothers; a binary starlet system - all for $15,000. Yeah, the seller is willing to sell the cars individually, but that would be like splitting up Chang and Eng Bunker, the original Siamese Twins. Sure, these two aren't conjoined by anything other than their shared Craigslist ad and price, but it just doesn't seem right.Considering them as a package deal, perhaps serving both you and your attic-bound brother, what do you think about that $15,000 price tag? Is that a deal for so hot a pair of Starlets? Or, does that price mean these two are not burning so bright? Advertisement You decide!Killeen Craigslist, or go here if the ad disappears.

The last time TheBlaze reported on the futuristic flying car by Terrafugia in 2012, it had just completed its phase 1 testing. Fast forward to this week where Transition a car with folding wings has taken to the skies in its first flying debut for a public audience.
At the EAA AirVenture show in Wisconsin, Transition has made an appearance for several years, but this is the first year it showed spectators what it was made of, going from drive right into flight and back down again.

Elsewhen (1941) is a novella by Robert A. Heinlein, concerning time travel and parallel universes. It was first published as "Elsewhere" in the September 1941 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, under the pen name Caleb Saunders,[1] and was reprinted in the 1953 book Assignment in Eternity.
The story concerns five diverse students who attend a philosophy seminar. The professor explains that he learned how to use his mind to go back in time and correct a bad mistake in his life. Using hypnosis he lets them travel to alternate worlds of their choice. The religious person goes to her version of heaven. One couple eventually moves to a world at war with space invaders. They are helped in their conflict by the other couple and the professor who have settled on a Flash Gordon-like planet and share its technology with them.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Micron Technology reported its Q1 2012 earnings on December 21, posting a net operating loss of $82 million on net revenues close to $2.1 billion for the quarter. Its DRAM segment was the worst performer with an operating loss close to $169 million. NAND flash segment fared much better with a net operating profit of $94 million.
Memory manufacturers like Samsung, Hynix and Elpida too are facing similar problems in DRAM business, due to the lack of demand from PC sales.
However, according to recent reports, DRAM prices have shown strengthening and manufacturers have adjusted their capacity to match demand and reduce their inventory levels. DRAM is expected to fare much better in 2012 on the back of renewed demand for low power DRAMs from ultrabooks and other mobile devices market.
We have a revised price estimate of $6.40 for Micron shares.
See our complete analysis of Micron here
DRAM prices recover, consolidation can happen in 2012
Our upward price revision for Micron is based on the recent news of improvement in DRAM prices, which we expect to continue in 2012 (See our previous post). Despite a rough year, the average selling price for Micron's DRAM was still more than that of its competitors. Moreover, Micron edged closer to the number three spot in global DRAM market share, looking to replace the current number three Elpida Memory Inc. of Japan.
Moreover, due to a well-timed shift in production to NAND from DRAM, Micron has been able to better readjust its memory portfolio and still remain cash positive in a time when other memory manufacturers suffer from negative cash flows and huge debts on their balance sheets. Thus, we expect a consolidation in the memory industry as weaker players either exit or merge with larger players. This would effectively solve the industry's oversupply woes as it would result in better supply/demand management.
NAND demand keeps growing backed by mobile device explosion
The demand for high-capacity NAND flash devices continues to grow, driven by three interconnected market trends: growth in data storage, the shift to cloud-based applications and the proliferation of portable and handheld devices.
We forecast that consumption of NAND flash will grow exponentially from 20 billion 1Gb equivalents to over 500 billion 1Gb equivalent by the end of our forecast period.
NAND flash memory is the most valuable segment for Micron technology, accounting for around 50% of Micron's total value. Its current NAND flash market share stands at around 13%.
Backed by its recent announcements of developing industry's highest capacity NAND product, which enables 1Tb of data storage in a fingertip-size package (See Micron and Intel Take on Asian Chip Makers with Powerful NAND Device), there is a huge potential for Micron to increase its market share.
Based on this, we revise our price estimate to $6.40 for Micron

- - OK, time to vent again
OK, time to vent again My plan for last night. Go to the barn and ride for a little bit, then come home and make cupcakes for J's school fundraiser. What happened, Hubby didn't want to watch the kids, so I stay home, bake the cupcakes AND draw a huge leprechun (for J's bday party). Told him tonight I have to go to the barn, go grocery shopping, and make a cake for the party. He wants to work late, so I'm taking the kids (which adds about 2-3 hours to whatever I need to do). Here's what sent me over the edge... Tomorrow our 3 yr old starts parent/toddler swimming in the morning, I'll need to pick up the house(again), J (the older kid)has appts from 12:30 to 2:30, I'll need to decorate for the party, and the kids are showing up at 4:30 for a sleepover/party. Hubby just called and said his boss asked him to come in for 10 hrs tomorrow.:twisted::twisted::twisted::evil::evil::e vil::evil: I know he wants the OT, but tomorrow, really??? |
Oh, I know how it hurts to lose valuable "horse time". Hope the vent got a lot of it out. |

Ugh, I hate pools! Save yourself some time and just buy a cake! I hardly ever do cause they are gross, but my kid actually LIKES the cheap icing better!!! Good luck on the party!

Too busy to get the nitty gritty cleaned up here for company! LOL! Spring Break birthdays are the worst to organize! Happy Birthday to J!! |
Thanks! Her bday is actually St. Pat's day, but her grandparents took her out that weekend. I actually feel bad for her, of the 4 she invited, only 1 is coming:( so I said I'd make her cake (it's an old family recipe) to try & make it up to her. Hubby is actually going to try & go in around midnight & be home by 8. But he has an hour commute each way, so we'll see how well that works Posted via Mobile Device |

If there was ever a 'Mech that inspired terror in those that faced it, it was the Atlas. Weighing in at , boasting a small 'Mechs weight in armour, and having two small 'Mechs worth of weaponry, the Atlas is truly an awe inspiring sight. The unyielding, deliberate movements, and Deaths-Head skull all make the Atlas a truly imposing 'Mech to face.
The Atlas takes a skilled and veteran pilot to be effective -- an intimate knowledge of the weapon systems is required.
-The Left Torso contains your LRM 20, perfect for indirect fire, as well as an SRM 6 for added close-in punch
-The Left and Right Arms each contain a Medium Laser
-The Centre Torso contains an additional two Medium Lasers
-The Right Torso contains your go-to weapon, the AC/20
Heat management, knowledge of weapon grouping and weapon ranges are all necessary to make the most of this fearsome 'Mech. Mastery of these facets will rain destruction on any who face you.
Keep in mind, however, that the Atlas is not the fastest 'Mech, and that being attacked from behind is a very constant and real threat. Scan your battlefield carefully, as even a single Jenner can ruin your day. Careful positioning is key, as is fire discipline -- learn your weapons ranges, as you will be switching between them as you close with the enemy.

Hi, I am new here so help would be appreciated.
So, I originally planed to purchase a Razer Tiamat 7.1 gaming headset and then read they will sound like crap with their drivers and their 7.1 is a gimmick.
I am a PC gamer, I watch movies, TV shows, and listen to soundtracks, I would like a headset that is not to much on bass; I prefer clear sound. I've seen the AD900 and the AKG 702 which look good and are around my price range. Maybe someone can give me recommendations to help me choose headphones that will last me along time.

Josh Brolin and Diane Lane have announced the end of their marriage more than eight years after their wedding day, which in Hollywood years equals a lifetime.
A rep for the "Gangster Squad" star and "The Perfect Storm" actress confirmed the split to Us Weekly. A source close to the couple tells the mag, "It was a mutual decision. It is very amicable. It's not ugly, it's just over." So, celebrities who managed to make a marriage last nearly a decade and are divorcing amicably? This is pretty much the unicorn of couples, right?
Things haven't always been peachy keen between this couple. Josh was arrested in 2004, just a few months after the pair's nuptials, for a misdemeanor domestic battery when they got into a physical fight. Diane has also been rumored to give Josh ultimatums about his drinking, and he was arrested for public intoxication on New Year's Day this year.
Josh and Diane have both been through divorces before. Brolin was married to actress Alice Adair, who played a guest role on his TV western series, "Young Riders" in 1990. And Lane was previously married to "NCIS: Los Angeles" star Christopher Lambert.
Us Weekly reports the couple "split a couple of months ago."

It's been a while since Acura dropped a styling stinker in our laps — although Wert says he likes the look of it on something a bit smaller — this mid-cycle refresh can generally be called befitting of that description. Since nutty styling elements usually come from somewhere, we dug into the archives and came up with a pretty good candidate. Released at the 2006 LA Auto Show, the Acura Advanced Sedan Concept seems like it's telegraphing the pending power shield pretty well. We panned it pretty well when the Postfather ran the concept, and as would be expected we panned it again when it showed up this year. Hopefully it feels more at home when Acura drops the styling element on the new CLS. Reply27 repliesLeave a reply

West End Theatre
362 W. 125th Street,
New York,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The West End Theatre was opened in 1902 as a legitimate theatre. It was screening movies by 1921. Around 1930 it was closed, due to the Depression, and it remained closed until at least 1934. It had reopened by 1937 as the De Luxe Theatre, and by 1941 had reverted back to its West End Theatre name.
In 1974 the West End Theatre appeared to be an action and horror double feature house, and it closed in 1975. Since then it has served as a church for many years
Recent comments (view all 8 comments)
The West End Theatre opened in 1902 as a live theatre. It is listed in Film Daily Yearbook;1926 edition as having a seating capacity of 1,500. The 1927 edition gives it 2,000 seats and the 1930 edition of F.D.Y. list it as 'Closed' with 1672 seats.
In the 1941 edition of F.D.Y. it is listed with a seating capacity of 1,670 and this has been reduced to 1,100 in the 1943 edition and also the 1950 edition.
The comedy team of Joe Weber and Lew Fields built the theatre in 1902; in 1904, according to papers in the Shubert Archive, they leased it to Edward W. Stair and Albert L. Wilbur and it continued in service as a vaudeville and legit theatre. A year or two later, the Shubert Theatrical Company acquired a half-interest in the lease. Business relations between the Shuberts, Edward Stair (long a partner of J. H. Havlin in ownership of vaudeville and cheap melodrama theatres) and Albert Wilbur (Boston-based theatre owner and manger) were fluid and complex, but Wilbur probably provided Shubert access to the property. The West End Theatre lease was assigned to the United States Amusement Company, a Shubert-Erlanger vaudeville venture in 1907-08. From 1908 to 1912 it was booked as a part of the Shubert's "subway circuit" by the Sam S. Shubert Booking Agency. 1912-14 it was subleased to managers who installed stock companies. Shuberts disengaged in 1914.
Photographed in July 2003:
I have been searching for a theatre called the Palace St Nicholas which was showing movies in 1918. I finally found something about it in a 1903 NY Times article.
It was to be built as a playhouse adjoining the West End Theatre property on St. Nicholas Avenue and Hamilton Place. It ran boxing and plays as well as movies and also had an Annex (roof?).
It was built by a sindicate of theatrical and business men and has a frontage of 188 feet on St. Nicholas and 100 feet 11 inches on Hamilton (125th St?).
Louise M. Goldstein (Murray Hill Lyceum), Charles Bimberg, and Archibald Bimberg composed the syndicate who expect the building to be ready by February 1904.
The building style will be free Renaissance and the material Roman buff brick, limestone and terra cotta with a seating capcaity of 1800.
Is this the LAGREE BAPTIST CHURCH?
Al; The West End Theatre is now the Lagree Baptist Church. The West End Theatre is located in the middle of the block and only has a frontage on 125th Street. The building you are searching for would have been built to the left of the West End Theatre. In the photo posted by Warren on 20th November 2005 there is a building next to the West End, which is still there today (just seen in my photo posted 8th May 2006). To me that looks too low a building to be a 1,800 seat theatre on a single floor. But I could be wong…..I will try and check out the next door building when I am in NYC in a couple of weeks time and see what lays behind and whether the facade goes around the corner to St. Nicholas Avenue.
Fight in the theater in 1906, from the LA Times:
The West End appears in a Paramount Week ad in 1921. It was already open in 1903 when the Sunset was being constructed next door.
In the 1934 Film Daily Yearbook the West End is listed as closed with 1672 seats. In the 1937 edition a De Luxe theatre at this address is open with 1672 seats, so it must be a name change that went along with renovation and re-opening. By 1941 it was the West End again.
It stopped showing films in 1975.
As per this article in today's Curbed, this old West End Theater, now LaGree Baptist Church, will soon be demolished and replaced with a 12 story Condominium. http://ny.curbed.com/2017/3/3/14801616/harlem-church-apartment-building-conversion
