E-Commerce Spending Makes Up Lost Ground
Page 1 of 1
Amid a series of gloomy predictions and a lackluster start to the holiday season, e-commerce spending caught up with last year's mark, thanks to a strong week after Thanksgiving.
According to online metrics firm comScore, Dec. 1 to Dec. 5 saw sales jump 9 percent from the same period in 2007, an increase that was strong enough to bring the total seasonal spending in line with last year.
For the period from Nov. 1 to Dec. 5, comScore reported that online spending hit $14.92 billion, about $19 million ahead of last year.
Owing to the sour state of the economy, comScore is projecting flat year-to-year growth for the season, a sharp comedown for an online retail sector that has consistently posted annual gains at or above the 20 percent range.
Nevertheless, aggressive discounts brought shoppers out in earnest on Cyber Monday, as the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday has become known.
This year's Cyber Monday was the second-heaviest spending day on record, as Americans logged on and opened their wallets to the tune of $846 million, a 15 percent increase from the same day last year.
The day after Cyber Monday turned in another solid performance, with spending reaching $823 million.
"Mark Twain might have said: 'Rumors of the death of online holiday shopping have been greatly exaggerated,'" comScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni said in a statement. "Consumers are clearly responding positively to retailers' aggressive online discounts."
While Cyber Monday sales were brisk, the figures indicate the extent to which retailers are slashing prices to court cash-strapped consumers. The number of online shoppers that day rose 22 percent over last year, but the average transaction price was down 5 percent.
"Because of the extremely attractive prices offered by a myriad of retailers, it shouldn't be surprising that nearly two million more consumers purchased online this Cyber Monday compared to last," Fulgoni said. "But, because of their reduced spending power, it's also evident that those who did buy were unable or unwilling to spend as much per person as we saw last year."
Traffic from work computers accounted for half of all online retail activity on Cyber Monday.
Going forward, the year-to-year comparison could take a hit from a quirk of the calendar. The period from Thanksgiving to Christmas is five days shorter this year than in 2007.
[cob:Special_Report]"With the compressed time period between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year," Fulgoni added, "we need to see continued strong growth during the critical weeks between today and Christmas if this year's shopping season is to at least match that of last year."
For the five days following Cyber Monday, eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) saw the heaviest traffic, with 36.6 million unique visitors, though that represented a 9 percent drop from the previous year. At No. 2, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) 29.5 million unique visitors, up 10 percent from the previous year.
On a percentage basis, No. 5 Apple (NASDAQ: APPL) saw the largest traffic increase of the top 10 online retailers, with 29 percent more unique visitors than in 2007.
By category, sports and fitness has seen the biggest uptick since Cyber Monday, with sales up 35 percent from the same period last year. Consumer electronics ranks No. 2, with a 24 percent increase in spending.
The category of movies, music and videos turned in the poorest performance, with year-to-year sales falling 24 percent.

Ground-breaking trial paves way for more transparency and traceability in the marine fuels supply chain
Vlissingen, Netherlands, October 3, 2019: The first pilot of BunkerTrace, the system that combines synthetic DNA tracers and blockchain to manage risk for marine fuels by creating a transparent chain of custody, was successfully completed yesterday. The Boskalis-owned dredger, Prins der Nederlanden was bunkered with 900 cubic meters (CBM) of DMA 0.1% sulphur ISO 8217:2010 compliant fuel supplied by Minerva with a unique tracer added. The crew then successfully detected this mark with an on-board analysis case that took less than a minute, with the result of the test logged in a blockchain-based transaction record.
This trial demonstrated the readiness of the BunkerTrace system to transform IMO 2020 bunker fuel compliance and increase transparency and traceability in the marine fuels supply chain. By adding markers to fuel at every stage of the supply chain and recording each transaction in a blockchain-based system, BunkerTrace creates an immutable audit trail that follows the fuel, and any changes made to it, recording all activities and sign offs by actors transacting the fuel.
By the time it reaches a vessel, crew can in seconds test for the presence of the necessary BunkerTrace markers and, if they are absent, make a decision about whether to proceed. Where the DNA provides data related to the provenance and movement of the actual fuel, the blockchain solution traces interactions that occur on a human to human level – the digital 'handshakes' that occur along the supply chain. This creates a powerful tool for owners, suppliers, ports and insurers to track fuels and manage the risk of non-compliant, or even potentially dangerous contaminated marine fuels, from being used on international ships. It also allows crew to test fuel before it is bunkered, rather than relying solely on lab-based testing. It also provides the basis for determining which fuel supply chains are the most reliable.
Marc Johnson, CEO BunkerTrace, commented following the trial: "After last year's 'epidemic' of bad bunker fuel, it's unsurprising that owners, insurers and operators are worried about the quality of fuel available as shipping scrambles for available product post-2020 that will see more fragmentation in fuel supplies as more fuel is blended to meet compliance. This successful trial of BunkerTrace has demonstrated that it's an easy, reliable means of introducing a level of transparency and traceability into the marine fuel supply chain that we've never had before. We've had a high level of interest in the product so far, and this is an important step on the way to rolling this out to the market."
Harry Vasse, General Director at Cooperative Bebeka, added: "Managing the energy procurement now and in the future has our highest priority. Energy procurement is about sustainability, transparency and environment. CSR reporting takes place at boardroom level since company reputation is at stake. With the product portfolio in the marine energy market becoming increasingly complex and diverse in the near future our focus is on expertise and continuously developing of member protection tools and this is why we fully support the BunkerTrace initiative. Combining these two revolutionary technologies will provide the Cooperative and its members with an independent and transparent method for managing fuel quality throughout the bunker chain. Furthermore, it will support us in identifying the most reliable and trustworthy supply chains and streamline compliance."
Pablo Sansó Gil, Head of Sales (EMEA) at Minerva, said, "These are unprecedented times for the bunkering market. As suppliers, it's vital that we can increase our levels of transparency and build trust with our customers. It's great to see an example of a technology that is going to make it much easier to do this in action."
The trial used a tracer - added to the fuel as it was loaded onto a Minerva bunker barge, via a dosing pump on the fuel line. Bureau Veritas verified that the fuel line and receiving cargo tanks were empty. As the fuel was bunkered, the crew of the Prins der Nederlanden used an on-board sampling kit to test for the presence of the tracer.
The test took under two minutes and was able to detect the presence of the mark at two parts per billion in the fuel. Samples of fuel were collected before and after the tracer was added for further analysis.

...Adam's childhood home, where Dean's examining an appallingly Photoshopped image of Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jake Abel posed in front of, like, the multitudinous hordes from the anguished depths of Hell, or something. "He took you to a baseball game?" Dean gasps. "When I turned fourteen," Adam confirms with a smile, so I guess I'm not too far off with that anguished-Hell thing as long as Sucky John dragged poor Adam to a Brewers game that year, though as I noted in the episode thread, the Brewers were in Arizona on September 29, 2004, and the Twins were in the Bronx, so who knows what the fuck is going on with this goddamned story. Well, you know, aside from the fact that it of course further illustrates how miserably deprived Our Intrepid Heroes' childhoods truly were, a taste of which we receive when Dean goes near apoplectic with rage over the very idea that his worthless bastard of a so-called father would take this kid to an actual baseball game on the kid's actual birthday when Sucky John couldn't even bother with a proper goddamned Christmas for Sam and Dean, for Christ's bleeding sake, and is that fair? I ASK YOU, IS THAT FAIR? "Demian! Volume!" Oh, I apologize, friend of friends. I was merely aping Dean's attitude at the moment, and I think I went a little overboard. "'Overboard,' indeed!" Like you're one to talk. "Oh, don't be peevish, you silly little man, and do hurry this charming little story of yours along, if you don't mind! If I remember correctly, the next scene is simply divine!" As you wish, Raoul. "Whee!"
So, after Dean gets all twitchy about the idyllic childhood Sucky John apparently saw fit to provide his bastard offspring while denying the same to his legitimate children, and after Adam rather touchingly and tearfully provides further detail regarding his mother's disappearance -- she got home from work last Tuesday only to "drop off the face of the earth," and the cops won't do anything about it -- the boys plus their new brother retreat to Mother Milligan's bedroom to investigate. Of course, the initial phase of the investigation involves the camera focusing on several more absolutely tragic Photoshopping abominations, the better to underscore Dean's sense of betrayal, or whatever, so let's skip ahead to the part where Dean discovers the bits of flooring positively ruined by Mother Milligan's manicure as she was dragged under the bed, shall we? "Let's!" Crap. "What?!" I forgot about the exposition. "Rats!" Yep, as Dean scans the bedroom for tragic Photoshopping abominations and clues, Sam arrives from a call to the police, and the news isn't good: Back in January 1990, Windom experienced a rash of seventeen grave robberies, and while the bodies then were quickly recovered -- thanks in part, apparently, to Sucky John, who appears in the shadowy background of a newspaper photograph of the period -- the corpse snatchings have resumed in recent weeks, with at least three missing from the local cemetery. Also, Mother Milligan's not the only living person to have gone missing over the last couple of days, as a local bartender named Joe Barton vanished mere hours before she did. The boys quickly determine that whatever Sucky John was hunting nineteen years ago is back, and what's more, it's -- as Sam so vividly puts it -- "stepped up its game to fresh meat." Our Intrepid Heroes return to The Boudoir Of Tragic Photoshopping Abominations And Marginally Talented Pfeiffer Sisters to see if Mother Milligan had any dealings with Joe The Bartender. She had not, according to Adam, and it's then that Dean discovers the bits of flooring positively ruined by Mother Milligan's manicure. "Hooray!" Hooray, indeed, my scaly friend, for this was getting tedious.

Certified Rolfer™ | Med. Masseur | Pilates Trainer
Guiding my clients individually through their processes and thus helping them to achieve wellbeing and balance is my overriding aim.
About me
I was born in 1976. I have been through various phases during my professional career and have been able to continually develop as a result. Health-related themes have become an ever-increasing focus for me, and are an interest that aligns well with my practicing of meditation, yoga and qigong, thus strengthening my inner faith.
In 2010 I took the bold step of a new professional direction, choosing to begin full-time training as a medical masseur and studying further courses in manual and training therapies. I was able to gain valuable professional experience in osteopathy, physiotherapy and medical practices, as well as at a fitness-wellness center. The form of therapy known as Rolfing® Structural Integration was something I was determined to learn, but it involved a further intensive period of study.
I have been a certified Rolfer™ since early 2018. Working as a Rolfer™ is something I find very fulfilling for the senses. Rolfing creates space within one's own body, generating lightness and physical-mental-spiritual wellbeing, and thus strengthening body-awareness. In our overly intellectual world, this is undoubtedly an advantage.
If you are interested in experiencing rolfing, then I would invite you to an initial session, after which you can decide based on your gut instinct whether or not you wish to continue with the process. I look forward to meeting you.

TUF 10 winner, Roy Nelson speaks further about the legal situation surrounding the contract situation with Roy Jones Jr's Squared Ring Promotions, and how he has couple of long-term attorney's fighting in his corner.
The following section was taken from an interview conducted by MMAMania.com:
Geno Mrosko (MMAmania.com) – Are there any updates on the contract situation or can you tell us anything about that?
Roy Nelson – I'd say it's probably the same spot of where we were, I'd say, about 8 months ago, so there's nothing really new. It's just the legal process is very slow.
Geno Mrosko (MMAmania.com) – Well there are some out there that think that this entire situation is a good reason or example for fighters to have managers. How do you feel about that?
Roy Nelson – Actually, I have a couple of attorneys on staff. And actually my attorneys are how I got into this process. I think that's the most, I hate to say, I guess the most ignorant thing, you know, if you're like.. what you have in the business.. Everybody says they don't have a manager or an attorney but they have an attorney somewhere.
Geno Mrosko (MMAmania.com) – So you've got attorneys working on this to try to get everything settled right now?
Roy Nelson – Yeah, I had an attorney before that actually looks over the paperwork when I sign all my stuff. All the way back from when, I'd say, pre-Bodog.
Geno Mrosko (MMAmania.com) – Well you've been on it from day one then.
Roy Nelson – Yeah, I've been doing this for a very long time. This is not my first rodeo. It's not the first time you, you know, there's a lot of people that deal with a lot of douchebags in this business and sometimes there's a little more, different sections.

Encouraging the Psychic Abilities of Our Children
By Elly Molina, Author of
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." ~ Albert Einstein
Mindfulness and yoga practices appear more and more in both public and private education. In 2014, Brown University broke new ground by offering a major in Contemplative Studies, the first in North America. As of this writing, more than twelve major universities offer a BA, MA, or PhD in Contemplative Studies. Contemplative Studies "looks at how we think about the world and how we think about thinking." This curriculum spearheads a new approach to education. More schools than ever before now teach children an "I can do it" attitude.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, only three TV shows addressed the topic of psychic or supernatural powers: The Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond, and Alfred Hitchcock. In the last decade, by contrast, hundreds of movies feature psychic powers, and countless TV series feature psychics, mentalists, and extraordinary phenomena.

Starting from our LME series, we have also recently developed the range of LMP laser cutting systems. This series employs medium power CO2 laser systems and it is ideal to cut Pmma sheets and other acrylic materials as well as surface cut, engraving and carving, in addition to 3D cutting operations.
As a result of its design and development, this series is perfect to create backligt panels that are typical within the advertisements sector, without any kind of hardware change. Furthermore, it can easily switch from the plastic cutting to the metal one, thus optimizing costs and times.
Like the LME series, the LMP too has been specifically designed to meet the request for small-sized machines that can also guarantee high performances in terms of speed and accuracy.
The LMP series' features
It is a high added value "entry level" series: these machines employ linear module motors and have the ideal features to save space due to their limited dimensions. The LMP range is available with CO2 laser powers from 350 to 850 W, standard working area from 1,500 x 1,500 to 1,500 x 2,000mm, Z-axis measuring 80 mm, and it can guarantee an 0.1 mm accuracy with rapid movement speed up to 140 m/min, and simultaneous acceleration over 2.5 g.
By both the LME series and the LMP series we can offer our machines to more and more diversified and strategic sectors to pursue and consolidate our growth.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has vetoed a television diversity bill that has been strongly backed by the Writers Guild of America East and Directors Guild of America.
The legislation would have provided tax incentives and allocated up to $5 million toward the hiring of women and/or people of color to write or direct television in New York. State Senator Marisol Alcantara and Assembly Member Marcos Crespo sponsored the bill. Cuomo cited numerous issues that in his view made the legislation "fatally defective" in his memo accompanying the veto.
The legislation had the support of prominent filmmakers such as Tina Fey, Sarah Treem, David Simon, and Beau Willimon, who is also president of WGA East. It was also supported by the New York State AFL-CIO, IATSE Local 52, International Cinematographers Guild, Motion Picture Editors Guild, SAG-AFTRA, and Theatrical Teamsters Local 817.
WGA East Executive Director Lowell Peterson said, "We are stunned and disappointed by the Governor's veto. New York has missed the chance to make history. Study after study, testimonial upon testimonial, have proven beyond doubt that the television industry has a major diversity problem. Women and people of color are vastly underrepresented, particularly as writers and directors, and they have been for many years."
Directors Guild of America Eastern Executive Director Neil Dudich added, "We are deeply disappointed by Governor Cuomo's decision to veto this landmark bill which would have encouraged television employers to move beyond the status quo to consider the full spectrum of New York's talented directors and writers."
Cuomo said his veto was based on the fact that there was no additional funding attached to the bill, and he noted that the state's existing $420 million production tax incentive program is already "extremely oversubscribed." He said the diversity bill did not adequately define how the credit would be calculated, who would be defined as a writer and a director and the criteria for claiming it. He also questioned whether the legislation would withstand a legal challenge.
What's more, Cuomo said the diversity tax credit would target above the line talent while the state's goal is to foster work for below-the-line workers who most need the opportunity to find steady work on sets in the Empire State. Cuomo said he would direct the Empire State Development Corp., the state agency that administers the production incentive program, to conduct a study to determine whether there is a "statistically significant disparity" between the number of women and persons of color who are ready to work as writers and directors and those who are actually employed in such capacities in film and TV.

My wonderfully sweet friend, D'Arcy sent me this uplifting card in sympathy of losing my girl, Hope, two weeks ago. I couldn't love this card more with all of the personal touches and the beautiful note inside.
D'Arcy is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator based in Montgomery, TX. She used the set Pretty Kitty and this adorable, mischievous image reminds me so much of Hope when she was a kitten with her pink nose and pink ears and getting into everything. The color scheme D'Arcy used was the perfect balance of sympathy and uplifting that I needed. I keep every handmade card I've ever been given because I know how special they are. This one is one I'll cherish for a long, long time to come.
Thank you so much for thinking of me, D'Arcy. Your card was just the happy mail that I needed.
I hope you enjoyed D'Arcy's card today and I hope that if you have a dear friend going through a bit of a trial, you'll take a moment to send a note along to them. It helps to know we're not alone in our troubles.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — Tennessee solar energy developer Vis Solis and the German Energy Agency (dena), dedicated its first United States solar project today with the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany, TDEC Commissioner Bob Martineau and Mayor Tom Beehan at the Heritage Center in Oak Ridge. The project was developed in conjunction with dena and Germany's leading solar and dual-axis, maximum light detection tracking systems manufacturer, DEGERenergie.
"We are pleased to welcome such an innovative solar project and international partnership to Oak Ridge, a city with a rich history in energy innovation and leadership," said Oak Ridge Mayor Tom Beehan. "This solar project further boosts Oak Ridge's reputation as a cutting edge science and technology hub that's open for business."
Seven ground-mounted trackers, standing XX feet in the air, with 30 solar panels on each tracker make up the 50 kilowatt photovoltaic solar array installed on the duct bank at the 1200-acre Heritage Center industrial park owned by the Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee (CROET). The innovative, maximum light detection technology from DEGERenergie on the solar photovoltaic system will produce 40 percent more energy than a traditional ground mounted system or approximately 91,000 kilowatt hours a year.
"Vis Solis is using solar energy to turn an empty plot of land into an income producing asset for our investors and the community," said Carlos Mayer, CEO of Vis Solis. Vis Solis oversees the complete engineering, procurement, financing, operation and design of investor-owned solar photovoltaic power plants.
The duct bank is a small area of the Heritage Center that is not suitable for excessive and deep digging that is typical for a traditional construction project, making it ideal for a solar installation.
The Heritage Center solar installation in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is the first U.S. partnership in dena's Solar Roofs Programme portfolio. Since 2004, dena has taken part in over 40 solar projects across the globe to bring together rising international interest in German solar technology and help expand global solar markets.
This project is part of the worldwide "dena Solar Roofs Programme" coordinated by Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (DENA) - the German Energy Agency - and co-financed by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) within the initiative, renewables – Made in Germany.
The Heritage Center Industrial Park is a large industrial complex spawned from the Manhattan Project. This facility was formerly known as the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (or K-25) and served as a uranium enrichment facility. The site currently serves as the center of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) environmental restoration and waste management activities. In 1996, a Reindustrialization program was launched by DOE and the Oak Ridge community that focused on the reuse of DOE's former research and development facilities.
About Vis Solis
Vis Solis, LLC is located in Franklin, Tenn. and is a subsidiary of Vis Solis GmbH in Breesen, Germany. Vis Solis GmbH was formed in 2009 and Vis Solis, LLC in 2010 to finance, design, build and operate world-class electric generating systems. Vis Solis, Latin for "the power of the Sun" has strong experience providing state-of-the-art energy systems for roof-mounted and ground-mounted photovoltaic applications, including large-scale systems built on landfills, former military facilities and other redevelopment sites. The company has completed more than 40 megawatts of solar photovoltaic power plants in Europe and North America and has another 20 megawatts in progress. To date, Vis Solis has completed projects with a total value exceeding U.S. $100 million.

Most newborns go home with some goodies. Diapers, wipes, maybe some formula samples. Willow got them all. She also got a book. While the Pampers were for her, the book was intended for me and my husband. I guess you could call it a Down syndrome primer. I was told I really should read it.
I wish I hadn't.
I first opened the book about two weeks after Willow's birth. I knew within a few pages that I should put it down.
I couldn't.
The book basically detailed all the bad things associated with Down syndrome including the health risks and challenges. While it's good to know those things, seeing every single negative listed in print made my eyes too blurry to read any of the positives. It made me fear the future. I know I'm not the only one to regret opening that book. It's not that I didn't need to know that information. It was just so cold. So impersonal.
At that point in my journey I was too chicken to seek out a support group. My only idea of what was ahead came from that book. If only I had been given a different book! Maybe even a companion book. A book to accompany the one they gave me. A book that welcomed me into this journey. A book like this….
The Many Faces of Down Syndrome tells the stories of 15 individuals with Down syndrome. Some tell their own story, some have their stories told by loved ones. Willow's story is told by me!
I am so honored to be a part of this book because it's everything I wish I could have read after Willow's birth. While it touches on many of the hard parts of Down syndrome, the overwhelming message is positive. That's because it's personal. It's not a book of facts. It's a book of people.
This is the book I wish they would have sent me home with.
If you're a new parent, worried about that baby in your arms, please read this book. If you're a mom or dad who just received a diagnosis, please read this book. If you have a friend, co-worker or relative that has a child with Down syndrome and you'd like to understand what they're going through, please read this book.
I'm not just writing this because I'm a part of this book. I'm writing this because I believe in this book. The fact that my essay about Willow is included is just icing on the Christmas cookie.
So if you're looking for a way to spend that Christmas money, check it out. I promise it'll tug at your heart and make you see Down syndrome for the blessing it is.
The Many Faces of Down Syndrome is for sale on Amazon.com. For some reason I'm unable to include a direct link to it in my post. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact I use the free version of WordPress. I'll do a little old fashioned cut and past action down below which might get you to the Amazon link, otherwise you can just go to Amazon and search "The Many Faces of Down Syndrome" and you should be able to find it.
Much love, Merry Christmas and Jolly 2017!

I recently returned from a week's tourism learning journey to North Iceland, otherwise known as North Iceland Culinary Experience: Innovate, Develop, Taste! (NICE). Like the rest of my group I'm buzzing with ideas about how to share what I've learned with others in my industry and beyond and look forward to working on this in the coming weeks and months.
What made the trip and this learning experience most valuable and memorable? It has to be the people. The people, their stories and connections to where they live and work, their approach to life and engaging with visitors. (Not to mention stunning sunrises, geothermal bread baked underground, nature baths, dried fish, the best lamb I've ever tasted, creatures I thought I'd never eat – and more).
The purpose of our visit was to look at how businesses in North Iceland are creating and developing tourism, with a strong focus on food and drink and sustainability: how small, often rural, family-run businesses are building stories and a real sense of place around their food and drink activities, and the impact this is having on visitors and tourism growth in the North. As well as learning from our hosts, this was an opportunity to share our collective expertise, skills and experiences from our own businesses and industry sectors.
Everywhere we went on organised visits in North Iceland I was struck by the generosity, openness, positive attitude and hospitality of the people; a real willingness to share insights and knowledge by the businesses and at the same time, a genuine interest in what we were doing in the UK. Feasts of incredible local food and drink were laid on, the stories behind businesses unfolded, often with humour and honesty, but people also displayed tenacity and commitment, particularly when businesses faced difficult times and challenges. Many new business start-ups are being developed and managed by young people and families. Innovation is encouraged. According to the North Iceland Tourist Board the country's current tourism growth rate is 25% per year, while bringing lots of opportunities, is not without its challenges for the country's infrastructure and local residents.
Our UK group comprised twenty industry professionals, ten from Scotland and ten from England, including food and drink producers, event organisers and food buyers, chefs, food and tourism academics, marketers and more. We were fortunate that this group gelled immediately, contributing significantly to the success of the trip, along with two highly skilled and experienced project managers to keep us on track!
In sub-groups of our UK group we are developing three case studies based on our learning in Iceland, focusing on zero waste, innovation and the use of social media – this is probably just the start of several learning outcomes which we look forward to sharing with industry via our respective networks.
I guess one of the most valuable outcomes from this trip is that together with our Icelandic colleagues, together we have gained a powerful new network, one where we can hopefully share insights, experience and knowledge in how we work across food and drink, innovation, sustainability, learning and training, managing food waste and how we communicate and engage with related audiences using social and digital media.
A return trip is definitely in the diary, and many more stories to come. This study visit was made possible by Erasmus Plus funding and organised by Tourism Angles. See some photos and experiences via #niceland on Twitter and on Instagram.

Even at the highest levels — or, perhaps, especially at the highest levels — getting into a funk can be one of hockey's toughest shifts.
Confidence can be shaken. Players can get away from their games. Sticks can be squeezed and distractions can set in. Before a player knows it, the funk has dragged on longer than it probably should have.
Charlie Coyle knows the drill. A veteran of more than 450 NHL games, the Weymouth native and Minnesota Wild forward has seen funks that come in as many shapes and sizes as the players who play the game.
"When I know I'm not playing well, I'm not doing the things that make me successful," Coyle says. "Sometimes, if you're not scoring a lot, you're pressing too hard or you're skipping steps. For me to play my game, I have to move my feet, get in on the forecheck and play physical."
In Coyle's mind, there are multiple ways out. For starters, it does help to remember that no player can be the very best version of him or herself every single game or every single practice. That's the goal, of course, but there's no shame in a bad shift.
"I think all players across the league have little stretches where they're not playing up to par," Coyle says. "But it's the guys who can correct it quicker than others, or who recognize it a little sooner."
Coyle references the kinds of days where a player knows he or she didn't play well but scored or picked up a couple almost accidental assists. Good bounces in a bad game. Or the days when the game was there but the points were not.
"Maybe I didn't happen to get on the score sheet with an assist or a goal," Coyle says. "But teammates might cash in. There are so many variables that go into it."
Since his early days, dating in some ways back to his time as a youth hockey player in Massachusetts, and when his father was his coach and a positivity mentor, Coyle has been trying to keep things from spiraling.
"I think the first thing is a positive mindset," he says. "Once things are going south, if you start to go negative, you start to go further and further down. Sometimes, it's like working out. If you want to get stronger, you work on your muscles; same thing with being positive. If you want to have fewer downs, you have to train. If you want to be positive more, you have to train your brain to think that way. If you can have that positive outlook, that's where it starts."
Not only is it personal, but Coyle, as part of a professional team that counts on a certain amount of pervasive positive energy on a daily basis for success, also understands that teammates are in and out of these spells all season long, too. Good teammates have their finger on the pulse of these things.
"Especially when you're losing, you want to stay positive," Coyle says. "Say things that are positive. That's the mindset I try to have. Teammates try to pick each other up. That's what makes it a team, when everybody is kind of pulling for each other. It's what you need, especially if you see a linemate or a teammate kind of falling behind, or just not confident or he's fighting it. Guys talk all the time. You learn from older guys doing that for you, and then you start doing it for the younger guys. Teammates care, they want the team to succeed, and they're going to be a big part of it."
Even the best in the world want to get better. And the fact that getting better against the best in a world is beyond difficult, we'll, that doesn't have to matter, either.
"You don't just want to be here and be among the best, you want to be one of the best," Coyle says. "That's why our league is so good. Everyone is working to do that. It's a tough league. Sometimes you lose track of the fun part. But when you're having fun and just playing and not thinking too much, you do tend to play well. So, if you can get back to the basics, that's when you play the best."
Going back to the basis is another lesson Coyle learned from his father.
"That's all it is," he says. "What do you do well? Don't make it out to be any more complicated than it is. Do what you do best. When you start to do that, things pick up. Then you get back in the game and feel good, and you gain confidence and start producing."
Work ethic has also been a staple of both Coyle's success and his attempts to get out of any funks.
"That's how I was raised, and that's how [my father] was raised," he says. "It's really not just about hockey. It's about everything. He wasn't so much about the grades, but about the comments. Could you put in more work? That's what he always kind of instilled in me. The traits that you have being positive, those come up when you're younger."
On his own, after so many years of playing for an NHL life that comes with a great many perks, Coyle has also learned that, every once in a while, it helps to remember his good fortune.
"I've learned and I've been taught that sometimes you get so in tune with [a funk] that you beat yourself up," Coyle says. "Sometimes, it's best to just go home and not even think about it. Go watch a show. Go do something just to refresh your mind. And you come back with a fresh mind. Start clean. It's something I've learned and sometimes it's the way to go."
At the end of a long day, or a long game, or a long drought, a player can center him- or herself, jump over the boards and try to press the reset button. Getting out of a funk is possible and part of a growth process at every level.
"You do learn more about yourself during these times," Coyle says. "You have so many different people who care about you – family, friends, teammates – and take all of that in, but almost have to do it on your own. Like, I'll be okay. Only you know how you feel. Only you know what you think you're capable of. And building that self confidence is huge. No matter what anybody says, you know what you're worth. And if you know that, I think you can work to get out of it."

From the drawing board of Marc Lombard, the Jeanneau 379 is a perfect balance of the ingredients that have made the Sun Odyssey range such a success, and it's easy to see why the design won Boat of the Year awards in two key categories, Best Mid-Sized Cruiser and Best Domestic Built Boat. This stylish family-sized cruiser features a fold-down transom for ease of access, twin helms, large cockpit, spacious two stateroom interior with lots of storage and a performance oriented hull with hard chine giving it both speed and stability.
This particular example is the only one currently for sale on the west coast; she shows bristol and is lying in a prime Sausalito Yacht Harbor slip right on the boardwalk. There's a long wait to get ANY slip in the marina here so this is a material benefit if you're able to take advantage...
Triangle shaped double in forepeak forward stateroom, step aft to salon with straight settee port side, double dropleaf table centerline and U shpaed settee starboard.
Continue aft to head port side, centerline compaionway and L shaped galley starboard with master stateroom far aft, master has king berth set partially under cockpit.
Note bright and airy interior furnished largely in beautiful cream colored leather, interior shows almost as new. 6'4 headroom.
Stainless steel double sinks with hot/cold pressure water, deep icebox with 12V refrigeration, Eno two burner propane stove with oven, Danby built in microwave oven.
110V AC / 12V DC. Thirty amy shore power service, three batteries in two bank, smart battery charger.
All B&G electronics including chartplotter with radar overlay, autopilot, three multi function displays, two Plastimo magnetic compasses, Icom VHF radio. Fusion stereo contol head with speakers throughout, large Samsung flat screen TV mounted on salon bulkhead.
Selden deck stepped aluminum mast with compression post, double swept back spreaders and 1x19 stainless steel wire rigin, in-mast furling main, Selden aluminum boom with rigid boom vang and Harken mainsheet with traveller, all lines lead aft. Self tacking jib on Facnor LS165 rollerfurler, four Harken self tailing winches..
FRP hull, fin keel, spade rudder. Stainless steel bow pulpit, stainless steel lifelines (with amidship boarding gates), stainless steel stern pulpit. Dual anchor rollers with oversized plow anchor with chain and line rode, Quick manual windlass.
The latest fashion trend in the marine industry is the hard chine. Although touted as ultra-modern, this idea is not new at all, but rather an old one revived. Traditionally, hard chines were found on steel and plywood vessels because those materials, unlike fiberglass, are difficult to shape into compound curves. But it has been inadvertently discovered that hard chines possess additional advantages. The angular shape of the chines running the length of the hull acts as longitudinal stiffeners. The flat under-surface of the chine enhances form stability and the sharpness of the chine's submerged edge increases the lateral resistance of the hull. Perhaps of more importance to the modern, volume-driven designer is that the chine adds a few inches to the interior right where it's most needed, at berth level aft.
I must confess that I've owned two hard chine boats and have never found them to be as aesthetically displeasing as many. In fact, I find the signature look of the new Jeanneau 379 quite attractive. But aesthetics aside, designer Marc Lombard has created a performance cruiser that's impressive on many levels.
The moment I stepped onboard, I sensed that this was a boat designed by a real sailor for real sailors. First, Lombard addresses several safety issues. For example, I found numerous pad-eyes strategically placed to hook safety tethers onto, as well as jackline hardware already installed. The non-skid is aggressive, the pushpit, pulpit, and stanchions are robust. There are numerous handholds in the cockpit and leading well forward. The dodger is small and very strong. The shrouds and tracks are installed well inboard, leaving the flow forward unobstructed. The numerous lines running aft to the cockpit are covered with a sea-hood, leaving the decks clean and clear of obstructions.
A designated life raft well, with stout fasteners already in place, makes the deployment of a raft viable in the roughest of weather. The hatch board is indestructible and when not in use stows nicely in its own shelf.
There is unobstructed access to the sheeting functions from either of the twin helms. I cannot overstate how important this is to the safe conduct of any sailing vessel.
The twin helms create redundancy in the steering system. Next, they give the helmsperson a clear view of the sails on either tack, and they can choose which side to steer from in close-quarter docking. From the clever drop-down transom moving forward, the flow thought the cockpit is unobstructed. A large cockpit table doubles as the navigation console visible to both helms.
The cockpit has enormous stowage lockers, but I would like to see the holes housing the drop-down transom lines fitted with better gaskets and/or the lockers made self-draining.
The flush foredeck has substantial twin rollers, a recessed windlass, and a large rode locker.
I applaud Marc Lombard for his deceptively simple yet sophisticated deck layout. But layout alone does not make a performance cruiser. Speed and stability enter the equation, and the 379 delivers both in spades.
It's offered in a deep-draft version, a shoal wing keel, and a shoal swing keel with twin rudders. A shoal draft version of any hull typically looses eight to 10 percent of its windward performance. But through complex computer design, the swing keel 379 has been tank tested to give up only three percent of peak performance, a meager price to pay for the versatility of three-foot seven-inch draft.
This is the version we tested out on the Chesapeake, and I was an immediate convert to the twin rudder concept. First, as with the twin helms, a certain redundancy is built in. Then, even on a heavy heel the lee rudder remains vertical, and therefore maintains its lateral resistance and positive steering grip.
The sail plan is generous with 754 square feet of main and a 132-percent headsail. With a 35-percent ballast ration and a deep CG, the 379 stands up well to its canvas.
While perhaps not absolutely as convenient as in-mast furling, the lazy jack/stack-pack system allows the mainsail to carry substantial roach and full battens. Without question this amps up the sailing performance, for in a breeze of only 10 to 12 knots, we held a solid 7.5 knots hard on the wind. I found the boat to be well balanced, pleasantly responsive, easy to tack, and it tracked like a train.
The motoring was equally impressive. The Yanmar 29-horsepower diesel pushed the boat with power to spare. The boat turned in nearly its own length and backed with precision. The Lewmar helms and engine controls are as smooth as silk.
The interior might be described as Nordic modern with a blend of light woods mixed with white vinyl panels. While hitting an impressive price point, the fit and finish does not feel cheap or chintzy. To the contrary, the overall feeling is one of a bright and comfortable living space.
I find the two-cabin/single head option to be the most efficient use of space on a 37 footer. This offers sufficient berths with privacy and a spacious main saloon, while still incorporating a cavernous stowage space behind the head/shower compartment.
The L-shaped galley to starboard includes double SS sinks, ample counter space, a twin burner stainless-steel stove/oven, utilitarian stowage lockers, a large pullout garbage bin, and very clever soft-return hardware on the drawers.
The main saloon has a large drop-leaf table set to starboard, and a single settee to port with a navigation station at its aft end.
While wanting to appear hard hitting and discerning, I am hard pressed to find any criticisms of this boat. It's the rare boat I test that I would personally want to own and operate. But for me the 379 hits its marks perfectly regarding safety, size, style, speed, accommodation and equipment. Add to that Jeanneau's commendable 2-year "bumper to bumper" warranty and a five-year osmosis guarantee and you have a hard-chined, hard-driving, hard bargain to beat.
Cruising World, February 27, 2013, Alvah Simon
The Sun Odyssey 379's hull is built of solid handlaid fiberglass strengthened with a fiberglass grid. ISO gelcoat and an additional barrier coat are included to combat osmotic blistering. The deck is cored with balsa and is injection-molded using Jeannueau's Prisma Process to create a structure that is stiff and light with a smooth finish.
On Deck I liked the wide cockpit, comfortable seats and the large retractable swim platform. When open, the swim platform significantly increases the cockpit space and makes it super-easy to board the boat from the stern. When closed, it also provides a wonderful sense of security in the cockpit. There's a clever purchase system hidden under the port helm seat that makes it easy to raise or lower the platform.
There are nice big lockers under the cockpit and helm seats to swallow up fenders, dock lines and other gear, while the chartplotter can be easily viewed from either of the twin helm stations. I also appreciated the double bow roller, windlass and deep anchor locker forward.
What really distinguishes the SO 379, though, is the way the boat's hull chines, hull ports, narrow tinted coachroof windows, wide stern, plumb bow and even the maintenance-free synthetic teak toerail (that I honestly thought was real) all work in harmony to produce a uniquely modern and attractive boat.
The boat's clean lines are also evident in its accommodation plan. The saloon features a large settee, a good-sized head and an L-shaped galley at the foot of the companionway. Light-colored varnished woodwork and a white headliner lend a warm, open feeling to the space, while a single opening hatch and two small opening ports provide ventilation.
The long, straight settee seats make functional sea berths, and the aft-facing chart table is big enough to handle a chart book. Well-placed handholds in the headliner and along the coachroof provide good security when you need to move around while underway. The galley has plenty of counter space and copious stowage, while the single head has all the essentials, including a separate shower stall.
Although it was easy to forget we were on a 37-footer in the spacious saloon, it was more apparent in the sleeping cabins. The forward cabin, for example, has a V-berth and limited standing room, which is typical on most sub-40-footers, although it is still a perfectly comfortable cabin for two. There's also good lighting, plenty of stowage and decent ventilation thanks to an opening hatch. The guest cabins aft have larger rectangular berths, but more limited ventilation.
Under Sail
How is the joyful sailing experience I described earlier possible on a shoal-draft boat in over 20 knots of breeze? Simple—twin rudders. Even after reefing the main and taking up a couple of turns on the headsail, the boat heeled pretty dramatically in the puffs. But the helm was always light and refreshingly balanced as we accelerated to over 7 knots, thanks to the fact the leeward rudder was always properly submerged to provide positive control. I suspect the boat's hard chine aft, which adds form stability and aids in tracking, also played a role, especially in some of the bigger puffs. I expect the optional 6ft 4in deep keel and single-rudder configuration produces slightly better tacking angles and will also be quicker in light air, due to its lower wetted surface area, but I'm sold on the twin-rudder version.
Visibility was excellent from the dual helm stations, and the cockpit table provided excellent brace points for the crew. Molded-in foot cleats behind each wheel provide excellent footing for the helmsman, even at steep heel angles.
Singlehanders and Wednesday-night racers will like the German mainsheet system, which makes it easy to trim the main from either side of the cockpit. The jibsheets are also led back through clutches to winches adjacent the helm stations. As with all boats on which the mainsheet and jibsheets share winches, tacking and gybing can require some planning. Shifting sheets on the winches when we needed to do a controlled gybe in the 20-knot breeze was doable, but it would have been easier if the mainsheet had been routed to a separate cabintop winch.
Under Power
We had so much fun sailing, I almost forgot to record the engine data. I can report, however, that the standard 29hp Yanmar performed well. We were able to get up to 6.5 knots powering into the stiff breeze at full throttle (3,500 rpm) and hit about 5.5 knots at 2,700 rpm. Engine noise was obviously noticeable in the saloon, but not absurdly so. As you'd expect, it was a bit tricky backing into a slip in a stiff crosswind, but otherwise the boat behaved well in close quarters.
Plenty of boats call themselves good-looking and rewarding to sail. Many boats are also designed to be comfortable at sea and in port. But after testing the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 in a healthy sailing breeze, I can honestly say it comes closer to achieving these goals than most. It was a blast to sail. It was easy to sail. It was comfortable to sail, and its accommodations are both spacious and stylish.

Mmm, comfortable silences.
Great, great articles…and damn, can stuff like that last one hurt.
I really advise not to beat yourself up over this, convooos come with practice–and hey, at least you can talk without hesitation.
My advice is maybe to try and stay away from a lot of stories–I tend to do this with Momo sometimes and she just nods. What I've learned: they like to talk, they like to be asked questions. :P

Iranian Diplomacy – A former Iranian diplomat believes: "With steps taken by China, Russia, and India to cut oil purchases from Iran and pay in rupees and barter trade instead of dollars and euros, the strategy of the "Look to the East" cannot help Tehran to appease sanction pressures significantly."
With the reinstatement of US sanctions against Iran, the "Look to the East" is once again on the agenda of the Iranian authorities. Based on this, trade will increase with the East and efforts will be made to fill the void created by the lack of it with the West. Can the "Look to the East" strategy provide for Iran's benefits?
Dr Davoud Hermidas-Bavand, former Iranian diplomat and university professor, says in an interview: "Naturally, when Iran encounters problems with the West, it turns to the East, comprising mainly Russia, China, and India. But evidence has shown that this strategy has not helped Iran. For instance, Russia has made instrumental use of Iran in past years. It voted against Iran at the Board of Governors and Security Council meetings on Iran's nuclear facilities and received concessions. China did the same and India adopted the policy of paying in rupees and barter trade for oil instead of dollars to fish in the muddy waters of sanctions. India's Minister of Energy announced recently that New Delhi has made a profit of USD 6BN by paying Iran in rupees and goods instead of dollars."
He added: "Also, India and China cut their oil purchases from Iran before being exempted from US sanctions. The look to the East also did not help Iran to become a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Therefore, the strategy is relative."
The Professor reiterated: "After the reinstatement of US sanctions on oil, aviation, shipping, insurance, and banking, Iran was not met with a positive reaction from the East and none of countries in this definition came up with a significant plan to counter the situation. South Korea and Japan also reacted in the same way. Therefore, the adoption of the "Look to the East" strategy will not change Iran's situation."
Speaking about shifting from Iran's security-centered foreign policy to development-oriented politics, Hermidas-Bavand commented: "Even when Iran' foreign policy was security-centered, there was little security cooperation with Russia and China. Currently, the "Look to the East" strategy can help Iran's development-oriented politics to pay in euros and dollars for oil purchases so that Iran can meet its diverse needs. Getting paid in rupees and goods will not help."

I have personalized plates on my 4Runner. They are the Texas Association of Realtors plates, and they're also customized as BUYIN. If I wasn't a Realtor, I probably wouldn't recognize the plates as the writing is fairly small and hard to read as you're driving around and keeping a great enough distance between cars.
I was driving a couple of days ago along 75 Central Expressway going north, and in the right lane because I was heading to the East Bound exit for the George Bush Turnpike... and right before the exit, who pulls in front of me? Yes, it was a fellow Realtor!! Can you believe that? I only know because he had the same special plates that I have, though he opted not to customize them.
All I know is that he drives a Black, Chevy Suburban, and the license plate starts with B73. There are only 5 letters and numbers on the plate as they need room for the TAR message, so I'm only missing 2 of the letters.
So, if you know anyone in the Dallas area who has the special TAR plates, and they drive a black chevy suburban, telll them to give me a call and explain why they felt the need to drive so rudely.

It can be heared the fierce thunders hitting the cities of the "Old Continent", where a deformed and artificial mass don't live but vegetate. It can be heared the tempestuous wind, that one which predicts the advent of something tragic. The first drops begin to fall from inhumane black clouds that cover the sky with their unknown darkness…
The storm is here! Everybody knew that sooner or later it would arrive! Hyper-civilized look surprised the sky, they don't know what is coming yet… But when they look at the eyes of the destruction, the chaos, the death, the terror will seize them and they will run to hide. A few, however, listen the call of the storm, the roar of the thunder, the shout of the wind and the rain, and attend it with the knives freshly sharpened, full of hate for the despicable shitty humanity… Because we are those egoistical savages who enjoy the death, who take delight with human misery!
That storm is the ITS Mafia. That group of eco-extremist criminals and nihilist terrorists which in January of this year crossed the Atlantic to Greece and that today, only a few months later, is operative in another two european countries.
We attack misanthropically the techno-moral society in a indiscriminate way because the humanity disgusts us, this ridiculous thing that decays in the cities full of smoke, that crawls from work to home and from home to work, like machines without life, insulting everything sacred for us every second of its existence; we sicklily hate its customs, its routines, its aspirations, its no-lifes… we want to see all of them dead! We live among you, weak human trash, we live without raising any suspiction, being just a few more sheeps, smiling in the needed moment to go unnoticed, we are those nice creatures who give you the seat in the public transport… behind this smiles are occulted our homicidal intentions!
We deliver a mortal blow to the moral of attack, how are we going to feel empathy with this stupid domesticated animal who lives distant from its natural essence? Are there innocent humans in the humiliation of the Wild Nature? Anyone who believes this is naive, a humanist or a fool (or the three). We attack, yes, foreign to the dualism of the humanist assessments, we don't care if rich or poor, if man or woman, if white or black, modern human is our enemy and we don't make boring humanist distinctions. Does Wild Nature make distinctions when it manifests with its characteristic brutality? ¿Did the ancient barbarian warriors of this continent make distinctions? You can make this question to the entire populations massacred by those vikings "northen beasts".
There isn't any political objective to reach in our acting, we don't look for any revolution, we don't have demands of any type, we don't want to go back in time either. We attempt because that Unknown Force hidden in the mountains, forests, rivers, wild animals, in the Moon… carried by tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes… that force is within ourselves too, in the form of dark, violent and primitive instincts. We are civilized humans, but we know that all the centuries of civilized life haven't achieved to eliminate this instincts. Modern human represses them, keeps them dissatisfied, chains them with its goddess Reason… we wait with ancient patience the moments when we liberate them, when we momentarily satiate them embracing chaos!
As can be seen, we don't make the secular and modern distinction between us as subjects and Nature as object. We are pagan warriors in extreme defense of the Wild, but we don't understand the Wild as something alien to us. To the contrary, for us the alien is the civilized life at all levels, and because of this we attack it without more regard than the strategical one.
We lack hope in a better tomorrow, we know the end that awaits us in this unequal war. And despite this we attack, like the ancient did.
Therefore, we claim that the night of April 18th we went out in the city of Valencia with a
trash bag, in it there wasn't food waste but an incendiary device of approximately 5 liters, with a small explosive adhered and designed to detonate moments after the activation of the device, this to expand the fire and in case some noble citizen thought of extinguish it. We walked determined and with the ancients in our mind, in our pockets we carried pagan war amulets given by the spirits of the Unknown. We abandoned the device indiscriminately in the street, near a line of cars, we ignited the fuse with tranquility and disappeared from that place stealthily. Although we couldn't know the damage caused because we didn't read anything about the arson in the local press, we know that the device was activated because when we were far from the place we listened the explosion, so the artisanal fuse ignited correctly and the fire came to our call. There goes our gift for the normality and stability of the peaceful civilized night…
This time the fire consumed material objectives because our egos desired it, but it was also an attempt in which we carbonized the humanist values that govern the civilized life, imposing authoritatively our will above the properties of the anonymous citizens and destroying the good-evil binomial raising over its ruins our egoistical interests. Who knows when and where are we going to appear again, who knows what device or weapon will we hide then and if our objective will be material or human… may the spirits guide us in this war!
Force for the terrorists brothers and sisters of the Mafia in America and Europe!
Force for the Wildfire cell and for all those that attempt anonymously! And we remember the terrorist of the 7 bombs, Mark Conditt, with special respect!
The Mafia expands… we have chaos in our hands!

Our HistorySince 1983
Emigrating from South Korea 40 years ago, Chang came to Canada to pursue "The Canadian Dream". In 1983, he bought a small piece of land at 1672 Dundas St. E, Mississauga, ON. Formerly a restaurant, Chang would turn it into his house, his drapery house.
From its humble beginnings, Chang's has now served over 100,000 customers. Amazingly, we've seen customers return decades later with their grown children who are now moving into their first homes as adults. For over 35 years, we've made Mississauga our home and in doing so, we've been able to serve many neighbours; celebrities, politicians, companies large and small, and all the wonderful residents of this city and surrounding cities. We've even gone to Ottawa to provide our services. When the South Korean Consulate in Ottawa was looking for window coverings for their offices, they called Chang's.

The Bellagio has Bobby's Room, the nosebleed-stakes poker room at the Bellagio named after Bobby Baldwin, the 1978 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. It is the place where most poker players dream of playing, though only an elite few (or rich businesspeople) will. In May 2010, just before the start of the WSOP, ARIA Resort & Casino opened its answer to Bobby's Room: The Ivey Room, named after Phil Ivey. As of Wednesday, the single-table poker room no longer bears Ivey's name, as it is now called "Table 1."
Aria Director of Poker Operations Sean McCormack told CardPlayer that people should not read anything into the name change, that it was just time for it to happen.
"We thought it was time to rename the room," McCormack informed CardPlayer. "The idea to call it 'Table 1' actually came from Elayne [Teitelbaum], our host. It's so fitting because a lot of players have been calling it 'Table 1' for a while now anyway. [They were] coming in and asking if table 1 had a game going or was available."
Most in the poker world are skeptical of this reasoning, believing that Phil Ivey's name was removed from the high stakes poker room because of his legal battle with the Borgata in Atlantic City. As has been covered extensively, Ivey and a cohort figured out that the cards used at the Borgata's high stakes baccarat tables were cut at the factory unevenly, resulting in the patterns on the backs of the cards being ever-so-slightly asymmetrical. Among other requests, Ivey and his friend asked the dealer to turn certain cards 180-degrees before putting them back in the deck, which meant that they could secretly tell which card was to come based on the pattern on the back.
Ivey and his partner won nearly $10 million from the Borgata. The casino later sued, claiming that Ivey cheated and after years of court battles, a judge ruled that Ivey and his partner did use an unfair advantage and ordered the winnings be repaid.
Most recently, a judge permitted the Borgata to go after Ivey's assets in Nevada to recoup the money.
The Borgata is owned by MGM Resorts International, the same company that owns ARIA. This is why most think The Ivey room is now Table 1: ARIA doesn't want to continue to honor a man who is in a legal tussle with its company. It's a reasonable decision, I suppose, though I will be interested to see if it affects the poker room's traffic at all. "Table 1," while actually kind of a cool name, doesn't really have the gravitas of "The Ivey Room."
McCormack told CardPlayer that the name change has nothing to do with Ivey's "edge sorting" saga or legal issues with the Borgata.
"Nothing lasts forever," he said. "Obviously Phil is still an incredible player and still very much relevant in the poker world, but we thought it was time for a rebrand."
