Tahoe-area cross-country skiers are in for a treat the next week.
The USSA SuperTour finals, touted as the premier cross-country ski races in the country, will swing through three Donner Summit resorts — Royal Gorge, Auburn Ski Club and Sugar Bowl — from Thursday, April 4, through Thursday, April 11. Tahoe Donner Cross Country also will host a couple of athlete seminars and the National Championship awards ceremony.
The SuperTour finals are a mini-tour made up of four races with cash bonuses for the winners, as well as the best climber, best sprinter and best young skier (under 23). The tour, which is open to the public, concludes the 2012-2013 SuperTour series.
Highlight athletes include Kikkan Randall of the U.S. Ski Team, who recently became the first American woman in history to finish as high as third in the FIS Cross Country World Cup overall standings, as well as U.S. Ski Team members Jessie Diggins and Liz Stephen, and local products Matthew Gelso and Russell Kennedy, who now resides in Canmore, Alberta, and skis for Canada.
"I am very excited to be racing at home," Kennedy said. "The Truckee/Tahoe area has some world-class skiing. It is good to finally get some bigger events happening. It should also play to the advantage of the locals, although at this level of racing it really comes more down to how fit you are."
Due to low snow conditions, the race venues were altered slightly from the original schedule.
The first two races — a 3.2-kilometer skate prologue on Thursday and a 10/15K classic mass start on Friday — were moved from Tahoe Donner to Auburn Ski Club, which also will host the classic sprint competition on Saturday.
The tour finishes with the Hill Climb on Monday, which this year will be a grueling test of endurance at Sugar Bowl. The race takes competitors from Sugar Bowl Village down to Van Norden Meadow on the Royal Gorge trail system before sending them over 1,100 vertical feet to the top of Mt. Disney. The race will feature a "pursuit" start in which competitors will start based on how far behind the leader of the mini tour they are after the first three events. The first racer to the top wins the tour overall.
The 30/50K National Distance Championships on Wednesday and Thursday, April 10 and 11, are part of the week of races but are separate from the mini tour. These races will also feature a 15/20K junior race, and will be held on a 10K loop at the Summit Station of Royal Gorge.
These are all important qualification races for the 2014 Olympic Games and will be attended by the best athletes in the USA, as well as a number of international athletes. Discounted spectator passes and free "foot spectator" passes will be offered, and spectators can see plenty of action from the Sun Deck at Summit Station. The awards ceremony and after-party for this event will be held at Tahoe Donner Cross Country on April 11 at noon.
The four SuperTour races are open to any skier, whether or not they hold a USSA, FIS, other license – or even none at all. A skier will only receive USSA points if he or she holds a USSA license, however. Same for FIS.

Milwaukee Talks: "Front Row Amy" Williams
What a crazy Brewers season it's been. From "Tony Plush" to "Beast Mode," it's felt magical for players and fans, alike.
And one super-fan, Amy Williams, has garnered even more attention than most. The season-ticket holder known as "Front Row Amy" became national news when Deadspin.com blogged about her, and her "15 minutes of fame" continues as the Brewers battle into the post-season.
The Oshkosh resident took a few minutes with us to talk about the Crew, and what's it's like to be an online sensation.
OnMilwaukee.com: Are you surprised by how viral your presence at Brewers games has gone this season? You're just a mom who loves the team and drives to Milwaukee for the games, right? What's the big deal?
Amy Williams: I am surprised! It's crazy! I'm just doing what I've always done ... what I love to do ... going to my favorite place, Miller Park, to watch my favorite boys play my favorite game. The only difference this year is that I'm doing it in the front row. To me, it isn't a big deal at all.
What first got people's attention was probably, well, you know, "the girls." But, I think what keeps their attention is that fact that I am so passionate about the Brewers. Brewers fans appreciate the fact that I I drive an hour and a half to games by myself, that I keep score, and that I really get into the game! The Brewers are my life during baseball season, and I guess that shows when I'm at games. I love them so much it hurts! And baseball is the greatest game on Earth!
OMC: Please describe the "Brewkini" and the reaction it's received.
AW: The "Brewkini" began when I co-hosted the Usinger's Post Game show on WSSP. Tim Allen suggested I post a bikini picture on Twitter and Facebook, so, being the good sport that I am, I did!
It became the Brewkini because Tim was obsessed with "Brewisms." I don't mind people seeing me in a bikini. I work really hard on this body! The reaction? Oh, I don't know...yes, I think my fans enjoy the Brewkini pics. Especially the guys. Although some have suggested that the Brewkini detracts from my credibility as a knowledgeable fan. I don't think that's the case at all. It shouldn't be anyway. That's part of who I am! I love working out! And I don't mind showing off my work a little bit. No harm, no foul.
OMC: How far will the Brewers go into the playoffs?
AW: Oh don't ask me that question! I don't know! Whatever will be will be. If the Brewers are playing their best ball, they can beat anyone. Yo's on the mound tomorrow, and we're playing at Miller Park. That gives us a HUGE advantage. I'll be there cheering my you-know-what off, and, hopefully jumping up and down as much as I was on Sunday.
One thing's for sure, Miller Park will be rockin', and I'm excited to be a part of that! Just win baby!
OMC: Who are you when you're not Front Row Amy? Other than rooting for the Brewers, what's a day in the life of Amy Williams?
AW: During the season, my life pretty much revolves around the Brewers: I think, talk, and breathe Brewers baseball. Everything else is on hold. During the off-season, I concentrate on my responsibilities as a wife, mother and employee. I do accounting work from my office at home. I go to Florida every once in a while with my family; I love Disney! And I count the days until baseball season begins again!
OMC: Who's your favorite Brewers player right now, and why?
AW: My favorite position player is Nyjer Morgan. I call him the Brett Favre of baseball. I love his energy, his enthusiasm, his love of the game, and the fact that he doesn't hold back. He has done more for this team than people realize – or maybe they're beginning to realize it now. For a baseball team to be successful, they need more than just skillful players, they need Kwan! They need chemistry and love – they need to have fun! Sure, the Brewers had some of that before T-Plush, but he has kicked the Kwan into overdrive. I love him!
And my favorite pitcher? Well, I think everyone knows it's Chris Narveson. Why C-Narve? Because he came here two years ago from virtual obscurity, was thrust into the starting rotation and pitched his ass off! He kept his head, cool cucumber that he is, and did a great job. I loved that. Yes, he's had his struggles, but when he's on, he has pinpoint command and, oh I know the change-up is his money pitch, but this year he also has a very sexy curve. And I love a good curve!! What that pitch does to me, I just can't even explain. It buckles my knees! It's the way to my heart.
OMC: Do any of the players or fans recognize you at ballpark now? And is that cool or weird?
AW: Yes, I think the players recognize me now. They acknowledge me once in a while. "T" gives me love from the dugout once in a while. Fans ask me to take pictures with them after the game. I've even signed a couple autographs! No, I don't think it's weird at all. It's been a lot of fun.
OMC: Why do you love the Brewers so much?
AW: Is it because they hit home runs, because they're so exciting to watch, because they're damn good at playing the game I love so much? Yes.
But even more that than, it's because of what they have as a team: the camaraderie, the love, the friendship, the togetherness. My life is good. I have my family who I love very much. But I don't have many friends. I work at home, alone, I don't really have a social life outside of Facebook and Twitter. So to be part of a team! Oh how I long for that!
And when I'm sitting there in the front row, keeping score, cheering for my boys, yelling to Yuni to be patient at the plate, screaming at Prince to "Hit one out!" knowing that they can hear me, and hoping that they appreciate my enthusiasm – I feel like I am part of the team!
Being there at Miller Park with my boys and with the fans calms my soul and warms my heart. When I'm there I feel like I belong, like I'm home. Go Brewers!!

Now this is funny... when they interview her she makes this statement "I think what keeps their attention is that fact that I am so passionate about the Brewers" Yeah thats it Amy, Nevermind the fact that your love bumps are falling out of a shirt thats 2 sizes to small. 90% of america wouldn't care if you worshpied Hitler. the only reason why you have all this attention is because of "THE GIRLS"... Dye your hair blonde Amy, Your as ditsy as they come!

Amy - no friends - that's strange - social life is twitter and facebook - Amy, those are not social lives. Having friends (see above) and doing things with them is a social life. Twitter and Facebook "social lives" with men that just like your boobs and don't know you for who you are is just plain pathetic. Here's a thought - how about "social life" and "friends" with - YOUR HUSBAND and maybe throw your kids in to the mix a few times too. Amy, concentrate less on your self - get some self esteem, don't look for attention via twitter and facebook and maybe you will have some friends. But hey thanks for bring the brewers luck. Did you manage to snag one of them? What's up with your husband too? Does he not think this is strange. I predict your children will be in therapy within 15 years.

Glad to see she's keepin' it classy. LOL (On a serious note, I do feel sorry for her kids. It must be somewhat humiliating seeing your mom make such a spectacle of herself in front of many people, on a regular basis. She might want to chill out a bit, esp. with the "boob-related" stuff.)

Jealous jealous jealous -- someone has something better than you (body and front row seats for the entire season). Good for you Amy! Live your dream!

hjc31727 | Oct. 10, 2011 at 2:41 p.m. (report)
To the people thinking that other women are only posting because of jealousy - that may be true for some, but not all. And Amy? Please stop telling people you don't want the attention. If this were true, you wouldn't have made yourself a fanpage on Facebook and you wouldn't be promoting yourself and your "cleavage" on Twitter. There are a lot of good-looking, knowledgeable women that go to Brewers games, but the things you've been doing/saying are making it very difficult for these other women to get any respect. People automatically assume that if you do your hair, put makeup on and wear a cute, glittery shirt, that means your IQ is lower than the number of home runs Craig Counsell hits in a season (sorry Craig). Some of us don't want to have guys stare at our "girls;" we just want to enjoy some quality baseball.

Those who want video downloads directly to the TV will soon have one more option to choose from, as TiVo has just announced a partnership with Amazon Unbox. Customers who already own and use the TiVo will be able to purchase and rent movies from Unbox directly from their TiVo units using the service, called Amazon Unbox on TiVo. The service is already being beta-tested among a select group of TiVo customers, but according to TiVo it will be available "soon" to all 1.5 million broadband-ready TiVo subscribers.
Amazon Unbox on TiVo will allow owners of Series2 or Series3 TiVo boxes to establish a connection to Unbox, where they will then be able to view "eligible" movies and TV shows directly from the TiVo—it's not clear at this point what Unbox content will and will not be available for TiVo users to watch. TV episodes will be available for $1.99, and movie purchases will be between $9.99 and $14.99—right in line with Apple's TV and movie pricing from the iTunes Store. Amazon Unbox on TiVo will also allow customers to rent movies (presumably under the same "30-day to start/24 hours to finish" rental conditions that PC users of Unbox must adhere to), starting at $1.99 apiece.
The partnership will likely be of particular benefit to Amazon, whose lackluster Unbox service left much to be desired in terms of software and usability on the PC. TiVo is known for its ease of use, so circumventing the disastrous PC side of Unbox and allowing customers to download directly to the TV will hopefully change that user experience for the better, as well as transform Unbox from a minor player in the market into a major player.
With Amazon stepping up from the kiddie pool of PC-only movie downloads, the company will be taking a new dive into the download-to-TV market alongside Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft launched Xbox Live Video last November as a sort of trojan horse into the video download market, allowing customers to buy TV shows and rent movies directly on the TV using their game consoles. Xbox Live Video has been the only major player in the download-to-TV market since then, and therefore has been enjoying success over its competitors so far.
The Apple TV is slated to ship later this month and is expected to present competition to Microsoft and now Amazon/TiVo. However, two key differences between the Apple TV and the others are 1) users cannot purchase videos directly from the Apple TV—they must first download to a computer in the house and stream to the Apple TV, and 2) Apple still does not offer movie rentals on iTunes—only movie purchases. This doesn't even address the problem of potential users still having to go out and purchase a separate unit for the sole purpose of watching downloaded videos—something that existing TiVo and Xbox 360 users don't have to do in order to use their respective services. When viewed in this light, Apple seems to have a slight disadvantage—at least until Apple gets wise and adds direct-to-Apple TV downloads and movie rentals. Will Unbox, with TiVo's relatively high market penetration, be able to hold off both Apple and Microsoft?

Enough lasagne for 4 layers, cooked according to package directions
12 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1. In large skillet, heat oil and cook chopped onion for about 5 minutes, or until very soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about half a minute. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat, until it is well browned. With extra lean ground beef, there will be no excess fat to drain off. Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for a few minutes to "toast" it. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer. Simmer, loosely covered, for about 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least one, or up to several, hours.
2. In large pot, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water. I leave the noodles in a bowl of cold water as I'm assembling the dish.
3. In 1-quart bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg, parsley, nutmeg and milk. The milk is just to give the filling a spreadable consistency so you have even layers of filling instead of big blobs.
4. Lightly oil a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish. Spread 1/4 cup or so of sauce over the bottom of the dish. Lay on a layer of lasagne, the number of noodles will vary with different brands. With my favorite brand, Bionaturae organic whole wheat lasagne, 4 noodles laid widthwise cover the pan. Spread with 1/3 of the cheese filling, 1/4 of the shredded mozzarella, then with 1/4 of the sauce. Repeat twice for three layers. Add a fourth layer of lasagne. Cover the top layer with the remaining 1/4 of sauce and mozzarella. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until an hour before serving time.
(It goes: just a little sauce, lasagne, filling, mozzarella, sauce, lasagne, filling, mozzarella, sauce, lasagne, filling, mozzarella, sauce, lasagne, sauce, mozzarella.)
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until crusty and bubbly. Let stand for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Batten down the cat flaps and keep a close eye on your Cravendale, because the cats with thumbs are back! Remember them?
We've uncovered alarming new evidence that shows their leader, Bertrum, is actively recruiting and coughing up fur balls of propaganda all over the internet.
The full extent of Bertrum's plan will be exposed this Saturday night – you can join Cravendale on Twitter or Facebook to discuss the broadcast, and share your ideas for keeping pesky kitties at bay. We hear a ball of wool is a most effective method of distraction. Or you may prefer to keep tabs on Bertrum via his Facebook page and Twitter feed.
And remember: the cuter they are, the less they can be be trusted.

Here's a cool new poster for "Martyrs", the French film which I'm sure you're all getting close to sick of hearing about. Featured on the new quad are a handful of quotes from some other horror sites, which is always a cool thing to see, even if John Shelton's name is conspicuously missing from it ;)
This is a teaser for "Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash: The Nightmare Warriors #1 and it's pretty kick ass. Just think, instead of the remakes we could be seeing this action on the big screen. Such a shame.
Alyssa Milano will be doing the vocals for Sigourney Weaver's character in the upcoming "Ghostbusters" game. That's what you call a "boner upgrade" my friend.
Variety reports on why the original poster for Park Chan-Wook's "Thirst" was banned in his native Korea. You can take a look at the comparison at the link. The original is a little sexier, but the revamped version actually turned out visually more interesting. Go figure?
Shawnee Smith to return as Amanda in "Saw VI". The producer also says it will be "a lot more violent than the previous five". Um... okay. All I want to know is when will they bring Tobin Bell back as a zombie, because we all know that's the logical place this series should go.

From ClickOrlando, and via tipster Joshua K., comes this tale about how "a Florida Highway Patrol trooper was attacked in Orlando early Thursday by a man wearing a Darth Vader mask."
It seems as if "Michael Cole, 28, of Orlando, was arrested on felony charges of resisting arrest and battery on an officer. According to the FHP, a construction worker informed the trooper around 2:45 a.m. of an intoxicated man wearing a Darth Vader mask who was walking in the middle of a road ...
The trooper approached the masked man, later identified as Cole, and repeatedly asked him to get out of the road, the FHP said. Cole instead cursed at the trooper and laid in the roadway."
It seems that "the trooper then told Cole to get up, but he attempted to punch and kick the trooper, who deployed his Taser, according to the FHP. Officials said Cole's thick jacket prevented the Taser from working, so the trooper used pepper spray to subdue him."
"Local 6 News captured video showing the man screaming while being placed onto a stretcher. Cole complained of shortness of breath and was taken to Florida Hospital South. He was later released and booked into the Orange County Jail. The trooper was not injured."

RICHMOND, BC - In front of a large crowd at Richmond's Hugh Boyd field on Sunday, Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite secured the Metro Women's Soccer League (MWSL) League Cup title in only their first year in the league with a 2-0 victory over Surrey United.
The game started well for the 'Caps with some great passing. Early on, the tension of a cup final began to bring a physicality to the game, with many stops and starts and neither team able to get into a rhythm.
However, the break came for Whitecaps FC on 31 minutes when Sessen Stevens played a superb pass to Jasmin Dhanda, who turned and sent in Summer Clarke on a well-timed run. Clarke then finished her breakaway chance to send the 'Caps into the break with a 1-0 lead.
The second half saw the Blue and White have several very good spells of possession. A second goal nearly came for Clarke when she got behind the Surrey defence on a pass by Simmrin Dhaliwal, but her touch was a little heavy and went to the 'keeper.
The 'Caps finally doubled their lead on 68 minutes. Aman Shergill sent a free kick to the back post that was controlled by Rachel Jones, who then sent a shot off the post. Stevens was quick to the rebound and made no mistake on the follow-up to make the score 2-0.
The remainder of the match saw the Girls Elite squad keep possession and maintain their lead en route to victory. Goalkeeper Julia McDonald played well in goal and held on to all free kicks that were played into the penalty box to prevent any chances.
"It has been a tremendous first year in the MWSL for the Girls Elite program," said Whitecaps FC Girls Elite head coach Jesse Symons after the match. "The competition week-in week-out since September has been a great addition for the program. We really look forward to continuing to play in the MWSL.

This survey sketch of Dubai 'Dibai' is part of a larger set of drawings completed by Commander H. F. Walter on behest of the British Royal Navy, 1910.
The plan shows the 'sandy shore' coastline (signified as a broken line) leading from the southwest of the Dibai Creek to the north east, with a sandbank that 'dries to 2 to 3 feet'. Large areas of trees are marked, as are wells to the south west and two smaller settlements of 'mat huts' on the north easterly coast. The settlement of Dibai is the focus of this plan, with a large concentration of mat huts on the approach from the south and on the northerly side of the Creek. Landmarks of particular interest to the Royal Navy have been marked: a House, Fort (Lat. 25"15'45"N, Long. 55"18'30"E) and Tower ('conspic' - conspicuous) on the southerly stretch of the Creek; the Ferry which provided transport across to Dairah; the Sheikh's House, NE Tower and Boat, all within or in close proximity to the Dairah settlement itself; and a third Tower ('conspic') further inland and to the north east of Dairah.
The Memoirs in the top right corner provides further information in regard to how the plan was constructed 'on the AB side of 6520 feet, derived from the Ship's Masthead…'; point B being the top of the mast (crow's nest) of the survey ship, and point A being the NE Dairah Tower, as seen from 6520 feet (approximately 1.98 kilometres away).
'Points have been shot in by Sexton Angles from various Anchor Stations… and shore stations…' All stations are marked in red, with the anchorage symbol being a three point compass (the southerly point being an arrow) and the shore symbol being a circle inside a triangle. A note is also made of the soundings which are 'reduced to LWOS' which could perhaps be 'Level/Low Water Over/On Sand'. Worth noting are the very low water levels on the approach to Dubai, dropping from 8 foot (2.4 metres to a ¼ foot (3 inches being approximately 7.6 centimetres).

Stress-free admissions, 7 days a week.
We firmly believe that admitting a loved one to a healthcare facility should never be a stressful process. Grosvenor Park's dedicated Admissions team works closely with patients and families to ensure that the procedure is pleasant and efficient. At each stage, the Admissions team patiently makes sure that both residents and their families are clear about every step before moving on. The hallmark of our intake process is empathy and dignity, and we're proud to say it's completely hassle-free.
Behind the scenes, The Grosvenor Park Health Center Admissions and Social Services staff develop good working relationships with insurance company case managers throughout a patient's stay, ensuring that all available benefits are maximized and minimizing out-of-pocket expenses. At discharge, we work closely with the insurance company to coordinate post-discharge care and benefits to ensure a smooth transition back to home and communal life.
Planning of Care
Throughout their first week at Grosvenor Park, and then at regular intervals thereafter, every resident is interviewed and assessed by all clinical departments — Nursing, Social Services, Dietary, and Recreation. Virtually every aspect of a resident's needs — from therapy to diet — are addressed in this process. The clinical team then meets and develops or amends the individualized plan of care specific to the unique needs of each resident, with an eye to making their stay as comfortable and successful as possible.
This interdisciplinary approach weaves together medical and recreational needs with more personal details like preferred shower times and favorite foods. Residents and their family members are encouraged to offer their input at every meeting.
Our Social Service staff maintains close contact with both the resident and the family throughout, as part of our goal to provide exemplary care and ensure resident satisfaction at every stage in their journey to recovery.
Insurance Coverage
Grosvenor Park Health Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid and most major insurance plans. Our knowledgeable Admissions staff is experienced in assisting families in receiving all the benefits the patient is eligible for.
When patients leave us to resume their pre-rehab lifestyle, they leave with as good an impression as when they first arrived. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest quality patient experience throughout every patient's entire stay. Our Social Service team supplies every patient with all the information they need to receive services near their home. The Admissions office informs the insurance carrier contact of the patient's needs.
Upon discharge, patients are invited to participate in a quick survey to help us maintain the uncompromising level of our customer satisfaction program and identify opportunities to improve. The survey helps us track our progress and target trends over time. This feedback is promptly shared with appropriate staff so that patients' thoughts are directly linked to the real business of achieving excellence.

I have been a birth educator and doula since 1996, originally certifying through International Childbirth Education Association and Doulas of North America. I received my training in HypnoBirthing® in 2001 and am certified by the HypnoBirthing Institute. I am the founder of Utah Friends of Midwives (a consumer group of over 200 members working to promote the Midwives Model of Care). In 2004, I became a Certified Professional Midwife through the North American Registry of Midwives. I am licensed by the state of Utah.
My Philosophy of Practice
Giving birth is a normal, healthy aspect of a woman's life cycle which should be celebrated.
Parents have the right to be informed about all options, and are responsible for making the best choices for their family.
Childbirth is an intimate process meant to be guided by the mother.
Woman-centered care, including childbirth education & skilled labor support, should be readily available to all women.
Women are more satisfied with their birthing experiences when they are active participants in making decisions for their own care.
Because of these beliefs, I strive to:
provide services that are client-oriented. Your prenatal care, birth experience, and postpartum are designed to help you have the experience you will cherish for a life time.
help women feel trusting of their bodies and the process of birth.
create an understanding of birth as a significant life event. Prenatal visits are not just routine "check-ups," but a time to prepare for your baby's birth.
teach couples practical, hands-on labor support skills before labor begins. During your last trimester, we focus on labor-coping and labor-enhancing techniques.
help each woman find her own strengths and potential.

First Ferrari Pit Stop opens in Nola. Luca di Montezemolo, Giovanni Punzo and Giancarlo Fisichella inaugurate the new concept store
Nola, 07 December – The first Ferrari Pit Stop, the new concept store from the Prancing Horse, completely dedicated to the fans of the Scuderia Ferrari, opened today in Nola, at the Vulcano Buono service centre, a point of reference for the territory commercially and socially. Luca di Montezemolo cut the red ribbon together with Cavalier Giovanni Punzo, CIS-Interporto Campano President, Giancarlo Fisichella, Scuderia Ferrari driver and Stefano Caldoro, President of the Campania region.
Fisichella arrived on board of a Ferrari California, stopping in the main square of the building, next to the cars of the Ferrari Club Italia who participated in the event: a spectacular view also for the numerous fans, present at the inauguration. Fisichella greeted the fans and then tested the Ferrari Virtual Academy simulator within the store, which was later on also tried out by the guests.
The Ferrari Pit Stop, with a surface of around 900 square metres on one floor, is a concept store inspired by the world of motorsports with a reproduction of a Ferrari box and furniture based on the box's garage. The furniture also consists of the boxes the team uses during the trips to the Grands Prix, while the walls are covered in perforated plates, like the ones in the original garage, as well as graphics and images from celebrations and competitions of the Scuderia. The store hosts the "Fan Collection", clothes and accessories for men, women and children with a sporty and dynamic touch, made out of high-tech material with great attention for every single detail and quality. The store also offers models of historical and current cars, games for the whole family like go-karts, video games and hi-tech products. A reproduction of the pit wall hosts a PlayStation® and the Ferrari Virtual Academy simulator, while a special area is dedicated to children, where they can entertain themselves with products especially for them.
The store is a new concept embracing challenges and triumphs of over 60 years, inflaming the passion and the legend of Ferrari, representing a point of reference for the fans, also thanks to a mega-screen in the shop, where the fans can follow the Grands Prix and the team's events live. The Ferrari Pit Stop in Nola is the first shop of its kind, while others will follow all over the world, including mobile Pit Stops at the Grands Prix and at events where Ferrari fans are involved.
The store is at the Vulcano Buono, a structure with two floors and a commercial centre in a complex with a height of 40 metres and a an overall surface of 500,000 square metres, planned by Renzo Piano. The building is cone shaped, reminding of Mount Vesuvius.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.
A sole viewer stands on the rocky shore to view the magnificence of this mystical misty sunset on Campobello Island.
Note: My BLOG is now at www.sharonallen.us Although I do sometimes work in studio from my own photos taken on location, my true passion lies in painting en plein air - outdoors on location - where landscapes are alive with colors and nuances that even the best photograph cannot recreate, and where the challenge of trying to capture fleeting moments of light and shadow makes each painting an exciting adventure. The vast majority of my paintings focus on the beautiful landscapes and seascapes of ME and NH and especially NH's White Mountains. In addition to painting what inspires me, I also accept commissions for paintings of special places for which I can work on location or from photos. My works can be found in private and...

The courage of our convictions — NOT
In one of the comments to my earlier post about Ted Cruz, Mike Devx noted that Cruz is attractive because he has "the courage of his convictions." That particular phrase tied in with something I've been thinking about for the last few days, regarding freedom of speech, or rather the lack thereof, when it comes to Islam and Leftism.
The starting point for my thoughts was this Topher video, in which he focuses on the importance of free speech:
As you can see, Topher structured the video around the argument that so much of what we accept as true today started out as highly unpopular speech that the majority tried to quash through censorship both official and informal.
We tend to think of censorship as something that arises because we fear the power of "the Other's" ideas. Certainly that is the animating purpose behind all those hate speech laws throughout Europe, and the hate crime laws in America. Both are predicated upon stamping out the overwhelming temptation of an enemy's words or acts.
Here's the thing, though: If we trusted in ourselves we would not be so afraid of the Other. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the case if Islam, which includes as core doctrine the requirement that its practitioners must stamp out any opposing speech, ideas, or religion. A self-confident ideology would not be so paranoid about potential opposition.
The same is true, of course, when it comes to Leftism. Marx didn't make censorship a core ideological demand, but Leftism invariably leads to censorship. This is true whether we're talking about government ukases or about the social strictures of Political Correctness. Leftism knows, because history has shown, that when people start to speak out against Leftism, Leftism falls by the historic wayside.
What's so deeply depressing in today's political scene is the fact that conservative politicians are so desperately afraid that their own ideology is too weak to compete. Rather than taking the Islamic or Leftist tact of imposing censorship on others, they preemptively impose it upon themselves.
America's conservative politicians have Stockholm Syndrome. Despite recognizing that the opposing party is their enemy, they have become so cowed that they seem truly to believe that there's something wrong about equal treatment under the law (as opposed to the affirmative discrimination the Left encourages), about the virtues of self-sufficiency and self-reliance, and about other common conservative and libertarian principles.
In some ways, I know I've just stated the obvious — the more you believe in yourself, the less scared you're going to be of the other guy. Nevertheless, we need to remind Republican politicians that there is no virtue in preemptive surrender to the other side. If you're going to die anyway, at least die fighting, with your own banner bravely flying.
If I were in charge of CPAC, I would ignore the Democrats entirely. Instead, I would spend the entire time educating conservatives about conservativism. They need to believe affirmative, rather than passively, that to the extent the American people want freedom, equality under the law, and affluence, conservative ideals are the ones that are going to take them there.

Google Settles Its Touchy Legal Issues With Immersion
Touch-feedback firm Immersion said Tuesday that it has reached a settlement with Google's Motorola unit over the use of haptic technology in phones.
Immersion said it will get compensation for past shipments of Motorola devices with touch feedback, and that Google has a license going forward for what Immersion dubs its Basic Haptics technology. Immersion said the deal does not extend to other hardware makers that use Android.
"The successful resolution of this case is a critical step in our overall strategy of enforcing and monetizing our intellectual property, including Basic Haptics, and we're pleased to achieve a settlement that is consistent with our business model, which is largely based on per unit running royalties," Immersion CEO Victor Viegas said in a statement. "We remain fully committed to enforcing our IP rights while continuing to innovate and create new technology and solutions for the mobile space. While the terms of the settlement will remain confidential and are not anticipated to have a material impact on our financial results for 2012, this settlement is a great step forward in validating the value of our IP portfolio and the investments we have made in the mobile market."
Immersion and a variety of smaller start-ups have been pitching Android makers on using a sense of feel to help stand out in a crowded market. Immersion has been showing off such technology for years, including at our D7 conference in 2009. Here's a video from Mobile World Congress on some of the current state-of-the-art uses:

The day before Thanksgiving, a woman called to ask if we'd be open on Black Friday.
Well, yes. "Oh good," she said. "I'm from Memphis, and my husband and I will be in Kingsport for Thanksgiving with his parents. And I just read this book, The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap and loved it so I wanted to come up and see the shop. Will the owners be in?"
I laughed and told her that Jack and I would be spending the morning of Black Friday signing books and greeting customers outside Glen Moody's charming shop "I Love Books" in Kingsport Mall.
"That's a great store and my in-laws are familiar with it, but we want to come up and see Tales of the Lonesome Pine," she said, hesitantly.
"You'll be as welcome as Spring rain," I replied.
We enjoyed our time at Glen and Deb's shop in Kingsport–it's always nice to talk trade with fellow bookslingers–then headed back to home, sweet bookstore. During our chat, Glen said something that stuck with me. "Time was that bookstores as close to each other as yours and mine are would be competitors. But not now. We're allies."
Yes, we are.
We'd not been back twenty minutes when the door opened and Debby came in with her mother-in-law. They were delighted to see the bookstore, and Jack was delighted to show them around. Debby had bought my book at Booksellers at Laurelwood, one of our favorite bookshops ever (Hi, Nicole!). There's just something very full-circle-pleasant about a woman from Memphis making a casual purchase in her hometown bookstore–one that has fought hard to stay independent in its community, I might add–then visiting relatives near our store and driving up to us while we were down in her in-laws' town, signing at a friend's bookshop.
Jack and I have much to be thankful for this season, including a circle of new reader and bookslinger friends. Here's to all the fun, interesting people who read Little Bookstore and searched us out on Facebook to leave nice comments, and to the new friends in the bookslinging world that this week has brought–particularly to Peregrine Books that just opened, and to ReBook out in Utah. We hope your Black Friday has been as fun and filled with full-circle pleasantness.
Wendy will be signing at Fountain Books in Richmond, VA this Monday from noon-2 pm.

MyTwoCensus Investigation: Detroit Regional Census Center a bastion of political patronage and corruptionWednesday, August 25th, 2010
Author's note: This investigation is ongoing and MyTwoCensus.com will be pressing the Census Bureau for details about these cases, which thus far the Census Bureau's public information office has refused to provide. This investigation is most definitely a personal crusade for me as a main goal of this site is to watch over spending and abolish government corruption. As such, I will be keeping this post at the top of MyTwoCensus.com until 1. The mainstream media reports on this most obvious scandal and 2. The Census Bureau acknowledges their mistakes and fires the individuals involved with these problems.
As 2010 Census operations wind down, the Census Bureau has been forced to get rid of many of its temporary employees. However, the few employees who are still employed at the Detroit Regional Census Center's "partnership" office have one thing in common: They are closely connected to the Detroit political machine and/or the Democratic Party. And the one current employee who doesn't fit the above description is Toine Murphy, who was indicted by the State of Michigan for his involvement in a Ponzi scheme.
To give you some background on the word "Partnership" in 2010 Census terms, the Census Bureau created an outreach program for the 2010 Census intended to boost involvement by linguistic, racial, and sexual minorities. The when it awarded upwards of $500 million in additional cash to the Census Bureau for outreach efforts, many of which are coordinated by "Partnership Specialists" and "Partnership Coordinators."
(Some of these partnership employees have been paid more than $85,000 per year at the GS-14 and GS-15 levels of pay for federal employees.)
Let's look at the cast of characters in the Detroit Regional Census Center who were NOT let go from the Census Bureau — even though "partnership" activities are long finished and the vast majority of employees in this office were let go in early June. The survivors are as follows:
1. Marsha Cheeks is a Democratic former member of the Michigan state House of Representatives. However, she was term-limited in 2008. Apparently, the Census Bureau is where retired politicians are put to work in Michigan. It was likely very easy for Cheeks to get the job though, since her sister is a Detroit Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick and her nephew is Detroit's disgraced former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. (I'm not sure if Ms. Cheeks' campaign finances have ever been investigated, but it looks like she's taking quite a lot of money that was intended for her sister's political campaign rather than hers.)
2. Brian H. White, who likely violated the Hatch Act by running for Detroit City Council in 2009 while a 2010 Census employee. Mr. White also ran for State Representative from Michigan's 6th District in 2008.
Update: After doing more research, it appears that because Mr. White's run for State Representative in 2008 ended before his official start date with the Census Bureau (February, 2009) and that he ran for the non-partisan City Council of Detroit (while still a Census Bureau employee) he was not in violation of the Hatch Act. (I was unable to acquire Mr. White's start date with the Census Bureau until after he announced it himself in the comments section of this post.) However, that is not to say that Mr. White's ethics aren't poor as he ran for office while still employed by the 2010 Census in 2009 and likely applied for his Census Bureau position while still a candidate for a partisan position. Furthermore, did Mr. White use his Census Bureau resources (phone, office, etc.) to conduct a campaign on that taxpayer's dime? In Cincinnati, Bernadette Watson left her position at the Census Bureau under pressure to run for that city's non-partisan City Council in 2009. That said, because of Mr. White's strong political connections, it is unclear what their role was in his being hired by the 2010 Census.
A recent profile of Mr. White states, "White has worked as state director for the Michigan Election Protection initiative; a Base Vote Director for the Michigan Democratic Party; political director of America Votes Michigan; and public policy coordinator for the Detroit branch NAACP. His political career is extensive, but hasn't included a run for public office, until now. 'I always knew I'd be involved, politically, but I never imagined being a politician, per se."'
However, this is a lie, as Mr. White ran for Detroit City Council in 2009 and his Facebook profile picture reveals a photo of his candidacy for City Council. (And here's the Facebook group dedicated to his State Rep. candidacy.)
Let's not forget Mr. White's family political connection: He is the older brother of Donnell White, the Deputy Executive Director of the Detroit NAACP.
Here's the Facebook photo currently on his profile:
And another from the Facebook group for the 2009 City Council campaign:
3. Belda Garza is also a former Michigan State Representative (who was term-limited) turned Partnership Specialist employed by the Detroit Regional Census Center and kept on the job after other employees were fired.
4. Linda Clark is the girlfriend of Charles "Charlie" Beckham, who is an associate of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and works as a top aide to current Detroit Mayor Dave Bing. Mr. Beckham has been under fire for his previous criminal conviction.
Now, after speaking with many 2010 Census employees, not a soul can confirm that any of the aforementioned individuals, including Toine Murphy (who has not returned numerous calls or e-mails from MyTwoCensus.com) have done a stitch of work in the past couple of months, let alone even entered the Detroit office. All of these employees can "work from home" and are issued government cell phones to conduct their activities. (If any news organization has the resources to tail these people, I urge you to find out what they're really up to!)
If all of this isn't bad enough, the Detroit Regional Census Office is still being quietly led by a man who is under investigation by the Commerce Department Inspector General.
On June 10, the Census Bureau released the following statement: "Detroit Regional Director Dwight Dean is not currently involved in the management of Regional operations. This is a personnel matter, and Mr. Dean remains in the employment of the Census Bureau. In compliance with the Privacy Act, the Census Bureau has no further comment."
According to his official 2010 Census biography, "Dwight Dean has served as director of the Detroit Regional Office – one of 12 offices that make up the U.S. Census Bureau's permanent field organization – since 1987." Over the course of 23 years, Mr. Dean has apparently been making lots of friends in Detroit, and this is where the investigation really heats up. MyTwoCensus has confirmed many tips that Dean engaged in acts of cronyism and corruption – including gaining financial stake in a Detroit warehouse in return for providing 2010 Census jobs for the individuals mentioned above and others.
To provide an example of Mr. Dean's cronyism, he fired a hard-working 2010 Census supervisor with no cause and replaced the man with his secretary's husband. So, as of today, both Barbara and Brad Cotner are on the 2010 Census payroll. (E-mail them at [email protected] and [email protected] according to a search today on the Commerce Department's "Person Finder.")
Two independent sources confirmed to MyTwoCensus.com that the Commerce Department Inspector General is now investigating Dwight Dean, who remains on the Census Bureau's payroll (doing what job, nobody will say, and of course he never returns calls or e-mails asking for comment). MyTwoCensus.com has been unable to confirm tips from readers who claim that other federal agencies are also investigating Mr. Dean for a variety of charges including corruption and abuse of power.
MyTwoCensus urges federal, state, and local officials to prosecute the individuals involved with the Detroit Regional Census Center's shenanigans to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
So Robert M. Groves (a Michiganian himself) and Steve Jost, how are you going to try to spin this story so the Census Bureau doesn't come off as a bastion of corruption?
