Careful about possible scam
My intention is not to be rude, in fact I am trying to be as tasteful as I can be with the situation at hand and the mindset this situation puts me in. My name is Chance Knight and I am a proud member of Church of the Coffin and a member of this community for going on 11 years now. I am 17 years of age. I am not a reporter, nor am I trying to be. That would be your job, and in doing said job, I hope your article in the Dec. 12 issue of the Pahrump Valley Times, regarding the Christmas parade of lights, does not live up to your full potential as a journalist. That would be rather disappointing. I have to bring myself to ask the following question: Were you watching the same parade I was? The flaws in your article were astronomical. In my oppinion look bad upon not only you but the PV Times as a whole.

The driver’s ed everybody needs
Why am I doing this? Two reasons, actually.
Reason No. 1 A public relations flak e-mailed me out of the blue and asked if I would like to come be a guinea pig at the Aspen Motorsports Parks new winter driving school before it opened to the public. Full disclosure: She promised free breakfast and lunch.
Reason No. 2 The e-mail made it sound as if there might be a chance to do doughnuts on a huge patch of ice in a front-wheel-drive Ford Escort going about 40 miles an hour. The idea of this alone was enough to make me skip a morning of powder turns. While driving around the new winter track set up at the privately-owned Woody Creek club, however, it becomes readily apparent to me that theres another reason Im here.
Reason No. 3 I need this course like Britney needs round-the-clock counseling.
Hitting a roadblock: profit vs. bike path
"All winter, how many bikes pass here? On a day like this, I see one or two. There are more pedestrians using the path than cyclists," Beverley Russell fumed yesterday. Russell, owner of an antiques shop on de Maisonneuve Blvd. W. near Lambert Closse St., and other business owners on the strip of de Maisonneuve between St. Marc St. and the old Forum say the bicycle path has put a severe dent in their profit margins since its construction began last spring. The path, which hugs the sidewalk on the southern side of de Maisonneuve from Berri St. west through downtown, opened in November. .
Gorillas and Suitcases in Your Yahoo! Messenger
The Messenger Blog now announces an update to the Avatar Mall, "Drop in on the "Pet Pals" store to find just the right animal to hang out with you. The gorilla and iguana are my favorites, but there are plenty of cats and dogs that need a companion too. Want to make sure you look your best out in this virtual world? Head over to the new Ocean Breeze Salon to find just the right hairstyle, bag and bling," Product Manager Sarah Bacon wrote. I guess I could swap Yoda for a gorilla version of myself but theres not much fun in doing that, I cant imagine fighting the rebel forces with an under evolved Chewie at my side. The update is nice and small, but many people often tell me that they wait for mouthing more from the legend that Yahoo! Messenger has grown to be. .
China can build things. Why can't India?
India's top science and technology official is in China, making excuses about why his country's infrastructure is so shoddy. Shanghai has brilliant new skyscrapers and museums and parks and trains – and Bombay can't manage to have a decent airport. According to Minister for Science and Technology Kapil Sibal, it's all because of democracy. “There is a different model of growth in our country," Sibal told reporters in Beijing, according to this report from wire service PTI carried on Indian portal Rediff.com. “We can't, for example, build a Pudong overnight." Well, neither did the Chinese. Pudong today is the result of more than a decade's worth of work and planning and investment. The place is hardly paradise; Pudong can feel overwhelming, especially along the district's broad boulevard.
