Golden Corral Countdown Clock Hits Pause

They might be hiring, the main sign has been built and they are working on lighting the parking lot, but the Las Vegas-style buffet of Golden Corral isn't quite ready for Las Vegas. The company's Facebook page won't commit to an actual date, but an official administrator on their careers page reports, "The Las Vegas restaurant is now scheduled to open in December." Previous updates include "early fall" and "mid-November." The 11,088-square-foot restaurant is located on the same strip of land as a Home Depot and across the street from a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Early paperwork for this project was filed as far back as Jul...


"Dancing with the Stars" ballroom stunned by unexpected elimination

"Dancing with the Stars" season 17 Although the usually leaderboard-topping dancer later earned a 27 for her trio salsa, she was slotted second to last on the leaderboard with her total of 51/60 when all was said and done. Nevertheless, Riley still remained far above the depths of last place, which was once again claimed by comedian Bill Engvall. Although he and his partner Emma Slater thoroughly enjoyed their routines, the judges did not. On par with the majority of his dances, Engvall's Charleston was critiqued as offbeat by judge Bruno Tonioli and was granted 21 points, his lowest since Week 4. "Offbeat," was a relatively kind critique, how...


GoPro's video revolution

Nick Woodman: Before GoPro, if you wanted to have any footage of yourself doing anything, whether it's video or photo, you not only needed a camera, you needed another human being. And if you wanted the footage to be good, you needed that other human being to have skill with the camera. The result was that most people never had any footage of themselves doing anything. GoPro has certainly changed that. It can be attached to all kinds of things: the nose of a kayak, a hula hoop, a vulture in flight. It costs less than $400 and its wide angle lens doesn't just take high definition video, it can also take photographs, record time lapse and slow motion. In 2012, a hundred...


Peru uses climate twist to lure tourists to shrinking glacier

Instead of marketing Pastoruri as the pristine Andean winter wonderland it once was - visible in outdated pictures that still hang in hotels and restaurants in nearby towns - the peak is being rebranded as a place to see climate change in action. The "climate change route," to officially launch in March, is the latest offbeat answer to rising temperatures that have eaten up 30 to 50 percent of Andean glaciers in recent decades. Peruvians have insulated ice with sawdust to stave off melting and painted exposed rock white to reflect sunlight. Those experiments curb glacial retreat on a small scale, but cannot bring ice blocks like Pastoruri back from the brink, sa...


In Bhutan, Happiness Isn't a Concept, It's a Way of Life

What I found so fascinating about Bhutan was that they have created 'Gross National Happiness' which means they determine the success of the country based on the happiness in their souls as opposed to the amounts of money in their pockets. I was totally taken in by this magical kingdom. When they tell you that it's the Land of Happiness they are telling the unbridled truth. It's quite astonishing how beautiful the people are. And by beautiful I am not referring to the external. I am referring to the internal worlds of the Bhutanese. They are joyous. They are hopeful. They are peaceful. They are truly happy... I can say without a shadow of a doubt that my time in Bhutan was the Pinnac...
