You can hear the same message over and over, and finally, it makes sense. That's what is happening in our industry as we continue to successfully program to the Baby Boomer and senior markets. Why do we keep trying? Because it matters. It matters to the 78 million Baby Boomers who need and want a quality of life for the remaining years of their lives. And it matters to us because we have the opportunity and the responsibility of making that happen.
Let's go back eight to 10 years. At the time, the real impact of the aging market was becoming a revelation, but there were no proven marketing techniques. We had to educate ourselves first.
One of the first marketing techniques we had was a concept that swept the industry — the "fish" theory. It was a concept derived from a fish market in Seattle where workers ingeniously educated themselves on how to enjoy their work so much that their customers enjoyed buying their product more than ever.
The four principles of the fish theory are:
Choose your attitude. Get yourself prepared at the beginning of every day to enjoy your work and the people with whom you work and serve.
Be there and be present. Always be aware of opportunities to engage in conversation or to create an enjoyable experience with someone.
Make their day. Be aware and appreciative of the impact you have on someone's attitude. To see a person smile or even laugh out loud in response to your greeting makes you realize how important your attitude is to others.
Play. Have fun doing what you do. Enjoy your work. Think of your workplace as a productive playground. You'll find the energy level will increase among the staff as well as the members.
Playing has continued to influence our industry's quest to serve the senior market. We found that as the Boomers considered retirement, their energy level, their interests and, most importantly, their abilities focused on outdoor activities. Walking, swimming and biking clubs became popular. Fitness club operators could have been more proactive in creating socialization within their fitness programs.
The facility-based fitness experts could have been looking more closely at what was happening in the parks and recreation field. For example, a few years ago in Lewisburg, PA, the playground industry built a multi-generational park with specific wellness stations and walking paths for seniors, in addition to skateboard areas and climbing structures for kids. This park drew up to 1,000 visitors a day and became a popular destination for all ages.
Recently, a park in England was built specifically for seniors to come together in a non-intimidating environment. The park had specially built swings, teeter-totters and other equipment designed to encourage movement, exercise and fun. Seniors come there to play.
The importance of playful activity is escalating in our industry today. The epidemic of childhood obesity is real, yet many schools are reducing physical education requirements. Park districts around the country, however, are changing the image of their playgrounds and creating areas and equipment that present challenges to keep children entertained.
A trend in our industry is to focus on seniors in much the same way we focus on children. Playing together just might be the key to the mental, social and physical health of your senior membership. After all, having fun is contagious. Seniors simply have to understand the power of play.

The saga of Tethyan Copper Co's (TCC) efforts to develop the Reko Diq mine found resolution last week with an International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) ruling in favor of TCC following a dispute that has rumbled on for years. TCC, owned jointly by Antofagasta and Barrick Gold Corp, ditched its original intention of developing Reko Diq back in 2013, a couple of years into arbitration. Former company chief executive officer Tim Livesey stated at the time that the conduct of the governments of Pakistan and Balochistan had made that goal impracticable. It's a classic example of the dilemma facing miners as they seek to find new deposits to develop: In short, all the easy mining projects have been taken. New greenfield mines are going to require companies to explore and develop in areas where the risks are heightened but the rewards are immense. High...

Usually the first symptom of a pump going out is the bike goes quiet and coasts to the side of the road never to start again. This entails the joy of trying to contact someone to come and get you and your bike. Just think of the hours of enjoyment you could have on the sunny side of the road listening to busy signals or being put on hold (if you can get a signal). Walking on a 90 degree day, leaving your "baby" in the middle of nowhere can lead to all kinds of surprises.
If you are SURE the noise is coming from the pump, why wait for the very inconvenient eventuality? Consider yourself fortunate that you are getting a warning while the bike is at home.
Have you pulled the pump and bench tested it? Have you inspected the lines inside the tank for leakage while it is running? Have you done a fuel pressure test to insure the regulator is working properly? Have you checked the filter again to insure it's not partially plugged again? Are all 4 hose clamps TIGHT?
I would not be out riding if I suspected my fuel pump was about to fail. The cost of a failure on the road is WAY higher than the cost of a new pump (if that's where you're SURE the noise is coming from and it's NOT a bad regulator or filter or hose).

Have you checked your fuel hoses for kinks, especially from the FPR to the tank? Are these the original hoses that came with the bike?

I'm going to siphon the tank now and install another new fuel filter for one last check to see if a blocked or gunked up filter is causing the squealing. Thanks Ted for your input, too!
ex: K75S Berlina R100GS/PD , K100RS , R75/5 , R60/2
Yes, Lee, I agree that it is crazy to be riding around New Mexico in this heat (91 today)waiting for a potentially costly situation to develop so I am taking your advice to heart.
I will install another new filter once I finish typing this to see if it makes any difference at all. The other new filter I installed a few weeks ago seemed to cure the squeal at the time---but it was back again after less than 250 miles. Hoping that it could be blockage I'll try it one more time.
No I haven't taken the pump out to bench test it but that is something I could probably do. I do have several 12v DC supplies on hand so it should be easy to try outside of the tank and far from any gas. One thing, though; isn't it bad to run the pump without gas running through it? Maybe it'll be OK for a few brief times.
I suppose I would be wanting to see if it's noisy or not as well as running it backwards (reversed polarity) a couple of times in hopes of dislodging gunk, heh?
The fuel pressure regulator is something I know nothing about. Heck, I didn't even realize that there is such a device---there again, can't see the forest for the trees, I guess. Maybe that could be the culprit, too. Is that what Don was talking about a while back; the device that relieves the pressure if the fuel line/pump gets blocked?
Sorry, but I've not much of a clue as to where to look for it, either. In the tank or tucked away somewhere else? Yikes. This is a bit daunting but I'll await your response before proceeding further than installing the new filter today.
As I told Ted above the in-tank lines are only three years old and are OEM so should be fine. The outside lines are old, though.
Pretty sure all the clamps are tight but I'll double check them, too.
Thanks very much for your helpful advice and insight into this annoying situation.
As if this wasn't enough to deal with, my electrical system is acting up with the ABS relay apparently faulty as well as my auxilliary lights are all out now, too.
At least the new battery seems like a good move and I'll be getting new fork seals and wheel bearings installed after this fuel system problem is resolved.
Cheers, Jeff

I was on the US side two weeks ago and picked up a Craftsman automobile stethoscope; dirt cheap at Sears. We can't get that tool at Sears in Canada.
Maybe you could try that avenue and listen-in to ensure the noise is not originating from somewhere else.

That's another good idea, Ghyber and I believe our landlord already has one in his enormous and well-equipped shop. He's sponsoring an Airhead Tech Day this Saturday and although I only ride my Brick I was planning to attend and check it out anyway (may be some brick riders there).
If the problem is still present I will try listening with it to pinpoint the noise but I don't expect that to be easy; the noise is very loud and obnoxious to the naked (unhelmeted) ear!
Just installed the latest new fuel filter and am now going for a quick test ride as the sun sets in ABQ. Will report back tomorrow after a 2nd ride assuming I don't hear the noise again now.
ex: K75S Berlina R100GS/PD , K100RS , R75/5 , R60/2
A 25 minute test ride where the radiator fan came on and so far no screeching or other sounds emanated from my bike. Fingers crossed that it was just another clogged filter but will hold my breath until further test rides tomorrow.
ex: K75S Berlina R100GS/PD , K100RS , R75/5 , R60/2
Drain the old filter and let it dry out. Lightly blow through it. Is there ANY resistance?
More than the new filter?

The FPR is not actually easily visible. It mounts to the back side of the throttle-body assembly, and can only be seen/touched/replaced by removing the bottom half of the air filter box, and going in from the starboard side of the bike.Sorry, but I've not much of a clue as to where to look for it, either. In the tank or tucked away somewhere else? Yikes. This is a bit daunting but I'll await your response before proceeding further than installing the new filter today.
They can go bad in several ways - a punctured diaphram in one will result in raw fuel being dumped into the rear most cylinder (where the vacuum line to the FPR connects.) Or if it sticks shut, fuel pressure will go up, mileage will go down, and there is a possibility that the pump may start chirping just like yours is.
The test is a fuel pressure test. Easy to do, requires a decent pressure gauge, a good fuel-line T and some hose and clamps. This test will show up problems with the FPR toot-sweet so to speak..

TV classics: aka The Legend of Custer
USA 1967, one season, 17 episodes, approximately 50 minutes each, ABC, color. Cast: Wayne Maunder, Slim Pickens, Michael Dante, Robert F. Simon, Peter Palmer.
Plot summary: After the Civil War, Lieutenant Colonel Custer takes command of the 7th Cavalry, a group of misfits, criminals and ex-Confederates at Fort Riley, Kansas.
Review: In the late 1960s, one of America's most popular genres slowly began saying farewell to television in its traditional form. Often considered too rough, Westerns were replaced by modernized versions that used the Old West as a mere setting for whodunits or family-friendly stories. Starring Wayne Maunder in the title role, Custer was one of the last original Westerns, a show suggested by Larry Cohen and produced by 20th Century Fox. Although blessed with popular guest stars of the time such as Agnes Moorehead, William Windom or Barbara Hale, the show failed to become a success. Based on George Armstrong Custer's life, the program was violent and often historically incorrect. Protested by Native Americans and opposed by The Virginian and Lost in Space on NBC and CBS, the show never really stood a chance. Canceled the same year it was launched, Custer became TV history after only seventeen hour-long episodes. Still remembered and cherished by die-hard Western fans today, the show can be revisited on DVD or on Youtube. For anyone who enjoys the style of the 1960s, Custer may be a real gem that deserves re-evaluation. The same goes for anyone who's fond of TV classics in general, including those the majority of us has long forgotten – unfortunately or not. It's your decision.
Watch Custer: Death Hunt here, guest starring Barbara Hale and Patricia Harty.

Home Security
Rural and suburban homes are more and more often being targeted by city based gangs who specialise in burglaries, and with fewer police on our streets they are increasingly getting away with such crimes, with less then 1 in 10 burglaries being solved. We have come up with simple to follow security advice to help protect you from such criminal acts.
- Ensure you have a medium or high security lock on your door. Lookout for a British standard kite mark. on the lock itself, however with older locks many are not displayed. Medium to high security locks meet British standard 3621 a standard set out by the British standards agency which assures a level of resistance to picking, bumping, drilling and other bypassing methods.
- If you have a wooden door it may be a good idea to have London and Birmingham bar fitted to your door frame. This strengthens the door frame helping ensure it can withstand forceful attacks, this however may not be an option on listed buildings, if this is the case a mental gate is also an option.
- Most properties have either a wooden or UPVC door. It is of vital importance that you double lock your door. Many UPVC doors lock when shut however criminals can still use some techniques to bypass the lock such as fishing and door popping. These can simply be stopped by double locking your door which engages the hooks and bolts. Wooden doors can and should be double locked to. Many wooden doors have a rim lock attached to a night latch and a deadlock lower down on the door. Like the UPVC door the night latch automatically locks but can be relativity easily bypassed which is why you must also lock your deadlock.

Even after sending everyone home with doggie bags, there's still quite a bit of turkey leftover. The carcass was turned into Turkey Rice soup, and the rest of the turkey was cut up and bagged. With all the sides gone, it was time to do something different with the turkey and it occurred to me that a salad would be an easy and delicious way to use some of it up. Served tonight with tomato bisque soup, the husband said it was "better than Panera's."
2 cups diced turkey
1 cup red seedless grapes
½ cup glazed walnut pieces
2/3 cup mayonnaise
Cut grapes in half. Mix together all ingredients and pile onto fresh, soft rolls.
Like the chicken salad, you can vary this by using different nuts, or substituting dried cranberries or raisins, or even chopped up apples or pears for the seedless grapes. You can add diced celery, curry powder or other seasonings. This is a very versatile and forgiving salad!

Dear Mother and Father:
I have been going to write you a letter all week but we are kept on the go all the time and I haven't done it. I can imagine that you feel badly about my going away but I really don't feel that you need to worry about me. Of course our work over there will no be play and it won't be the happiest and most pleasant kind of work but on the other hand it won't be like so many boys are having to do right now. We will be taken care of pretty well and I doubt if we will ever have to suffer for lack of good food or clothing.
I like our company and the men and officers in it and I have a couple of good friends in the company so in that way I will be quite contented. It is not certain yet as to what work I will be assigned to definitely. When we really get started there will be a few positions open and any one of us may be put into them. It is possible that I may be put on the anesthetic work for awhile.
After we leave here we will go to Hoboken [New Jersey] and we don't know how long we will be held there. Our letters from there will be mailed open and of course read by the censor. On the way there we can write as we please. There is no restriction on our writing while on the train. We don't know when we will go but it probably will be some time next week. They never let you know very far in advance, they just tell you to get ready and some time after you get orders to get up and go.
For all we know we may be here a little while yet. It has happened before that a company got all ready to go and then didn't go for some time after. We are not allowed to tell just when we leave on the boat, we won't know it ourselves until we get on. We can mail a letter as we get on the boat and I will try to let you know in that way when we get off. We will probably be on the water about two weeks. That is the usual time. When we arrive you will be notified. I understand that when we leave we write a postal card which is left here and as soon as we arrive the card is forwarded.
I don't fear the trip at all. The transports are as safe as can be and there isn't any doubt at all but what we will get over in good shape. It will be a few weeks before you get a letter from the other side so don't be worried if you don't hear for a little while your letters to me will not be censored so you can write what you please. I will have to be pretty careful about what I say. I think we will be able to write letters all right.
As I write there is a dance going on here with a brass band for the music. They are making so much noise that I can't even think straight. When I get some more news I will write you again and will say "so long" for the present.
Love from

KODAK Digital Technology to Provide Mission-Critical Images for Space Flight
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 28, 2008 – On the upcoming flight of space shuttle Discovery, planned for launch on May 31, 2008, KODAK Digital Technology will again be instrumental in capturing critical images and helping to safeguard the well-being of shuttle astronauts during re-entry back to earth.
KODAK CCD Image Sensors are a key component of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System, an in-flight imaging system attached to the end of a 50-foot robotic arm that is used by shuttle astronauts to scan the underside of the orbiter for possible damage before landing. The resulting high-resolution images are then analyzed to assess any potential spacecraft damage that may have occurred during lift-off or while in flight. This system is now available throughout the entire shuttle fleet to examine critical external surfaces before re-entry.
KODAK CCD Image Sensors are also routinely used in other camera systems operated by astronauts during shuttle missions and on the International Space Station. KODAK Image Sensors power the handheld digital cameras used by astronauts to capture images from space, as well as the recently launched Earth Viewing Camera located on the International Space Station. Surprisingly, these space-based products all use image sensors that are unmodified from those available from Kodak for use on earth.
"Kodak has a long history of participation in the space program dating back to the first flights by Mercury astronauts, and we are proud to see this heritage continue with the use of KODAK Digital Image Sensors today," said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak's Image Sensor Solutions Group. "Kodak is known as a supplier of the highest quality, and the use of commercially available products on both the space shuttle as well as the International Space Station is a testament to the performance and reliability of our CCD image sensors."
Used across the shuttle fleet, the Orbital Boom Sensor System (OBSS) incorporates a camera designed by Adimec, a leading producer of advanced camera systems located in the Netherlands. The camera is based on the KODAK KAI-2093 Image Sensor, a 1920 x 1080 interline transfer CCD imager that provides up to 30 images per second for high-definition image capture. Added to the OBSS after the "Return to Flight" mission of Discovery in 2005, this camera is used to inspect the leading edges of the wings, nose cap, and crew compartment after each lift-off and before each landing. The OBSS is next scheduled to be used on the upcoming mission for space shuttle Discovery (STS-124), planned for launch on May 31.
The Earth Viewing Camera is a fixed-point Earth-observing camera located on the International Space Station, designed to capture color images of the Earth's surface to help increase public awareness of the Space Station. Installed in February 2008, the camera is based on the KODAK KAI-4021 Image Sensor, a 4 Megapixel device that includes electronic shuttering capability, a feature critical to preserving the robustness of this camera design by eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter.
Since 1995, shuttle astronauts have used a series of handheld KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Cameras to capture high-resolution images of their activities while in space. These cameras, all utilizing KODAK CCD Image Sensors, have to date captured over 130,000 total images, and remain in operation today for use on both the shuttle as well as the International Space Station. The KODAK KAF-6303 Image Sensor, a 6-million pixel device used for medical and scientific imaging applications, is a derivative of the sensor used in those cameras, and remains available today.
In addition to operation on the shuttle fleet and the International Space Station, KODAK CCD Image Sensors can also be found in orbit around the Earth, Mars, and Venus, as well as on the surface of Mars (as well as the Earth). Upcoming missions will expand the use of KODAK Image Sensors to include satellites in orbit around both the Moon and Jupiter.

Story highlights
- 6 Americans died in the attack and 6 Afghans
- Insurgent group claims responsibility
- Many Afghan civilians were killed and wounded, ISAF said
A suicide car bombing targeting a coalition convoy in the heart of Afghanistan's capital on Thursday killed at least 12 people, six Americans and six Afghans, authorities said.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force said two U.S. service members working with ISAF and four ISAF-contracted civilians died in the Kabul bombing
The four were Americans working with DynCorp International, a contracting firm based in Falls Church, Virginia, the company said. The people worked on a program that provided mentors and trainers to support the development of Afghanistan's Defense Ministry. Three of those people were wounded.
An Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman said at least six Afghan civilians were killed and 30 were injured, an Interior Ministry spokesman said. The fatalities included at least two children.
ISAF commander Gen. Joseph Dunford said "insurgents deliberately exploded a bomb today in a residential area of the most populated city in Afghanistan," killing and wounding dozens of Afghans.
"The insurgents use these desperate and indiscriminate acts of violence to slow the momentum of Afghanistan's progress. The insurgents cannot offer the Afghan people a better future. All they can offer is violence and oppression."
The insurgent group Hezb-e Islami, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, claimed responsibility for the attack
A one-time prime minister, Hekmatyar has been against the government and the presence of the foreign forces in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.
He is not under the Taliban leadership, but operates alongside them. The incident comes during the Taliban's spring offensive.
"We had planned this for days before we got a chance to target American advisers," said Haroon Zarghon, a spokesman for the group.

Hi June,
You don't know me, but, according to your sister Rose, you've been praying for me for several weeks. I have lots of questions about breast cancer. Rose suggested I e-mail you directly.
So, you're OK now? Really? It seems as if a lot of people know someone who has survived breast cancer. I had my mastectomy last week. I also had the beginning of breast reconstruction—a breast implant. Who would have pictured someone as "down home" as me with an implant? That's for self-absorbed actresses, not moms. But I'm told that the implant will help give me a sense of normalcy, even if it clearly isn't normal.
The surgeon says that one of the lymph nodes in my armpit shows some cancer, so I'm scheduled for chemo to wipe the cancer out. How bad is chemo?
Thanks for your help.
* * * * *
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: email@example.com
Dear Pam,
I'm so glad you wrote. I did have lymph node involvement too, so I had chemo. I actually worked through it, in part because my desk was near the women's room! Believe me, I was never so tired in my life. I didn't get a wig, so I wore hats—and they're hot. My advice: get a wig for when you're in public! I also had breast reconstruction and an implant. I felt "Hollywood-ish," but it's amazing how even a fake thing brings comfort!
All these treatments take time and effort, so make sure you accept help from folks who are willing to drive you, watch your kids, or make meals. You may think you can drive yourself, but it's a blessing to let others help—as much for their sake as for yours. You would want to help if a friend had to go through what you're going through. Hopefully, you will soon be able to help others.
How are your kids and husband handling this trial?
* * * * *
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi June,
Our church has been very supportive, supplying drivers for the kids and me, bringing meals, and helping with the laundry, grocery shopping, and even housecleaning. Amazing! It has been a real-life example of Romans 12:15, "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep."
I know this is all God's plan, but I worry that my daughter will get breast cancer too. My son seems mad at God for giving me cancer. When he sees me get sick, he hides in his room. Howie took time off from work to drive me to some doctor's appointments. I worry he'll lose his job, and we'll have no health insurance. I worry that my boss will get fed up with me for being lackluster at work, even though I try hard. I worry that folks in church will get tired of helping. I know God is sovereign and knows what's best, but I sure don't understand it. Do you?
I can trust God that this cancer is his will and that he will be with me throughout the trial, but I have difficulty thinking how my children will be without their mom, if that's God's plan. What if they need me and I'm not there? I know I have to trust God, but that's so hard.
* * * * *
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Pam,
No, I don't understand God's ways, but I'm learning to trust him in all circumstances.
It's so easy to focus on ourselves as we go through the trials of cancer. We live with the pain, emotions, and worries every day. Yet you are looking out for the concerns of your family, which is a blessing. Your husband and kids are going through trials of their own because of your suffering. God knows how your cancer will affect them too. When people pray for you, ask them to pray for your family as well.
You're kidding yourself, however, if you think that by staying here you can keep bad things from happening to your family. We so much want to control what happens to our kids, but it is God who is in control. The apostle Peter knew what it was like to give his "children" over to the care of others. In 2 Peter 1:14, he writes that his time on earth is ending. He warns believers about false prophets and scoffers who will try to draw them away from Christ. But he writes in 2:9 that "the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials." It's not Peter who rescues his children—the church—in their trials; it's God himself. The same is true for your children.
You don't know what God's will is for you, but you do know God, and he loves you and your family. Give all your worries to him—over and over again. God may use this suffering to give you and your family the strength to persevere in other trials. What a blessing that would be!
I'll keep praying.

Engineered to work hard, the full-frame G-Series Chevrolet Express van is designed to carry impressive quantities of cargo. Available in two different wheelbases and G1500 (half-ton), G2500 (three-quarter ton) or G3500 (one-ton) models, the Express is the last word in the light-duty transport. For 2013, Express adds the following optional equipment to its impressive roster: rear vision camera, ultrasonic rear park assist, and navigation radio.
Likewise, the Express Cargo Van boasts an extensive roster of power choices for almost every situation. Engine choices include: 4.3L V6 (LU3), 4.8L V8 (L20), 5.3L V8 (LMF), 6.0L V8 (L96) and the 6.6L Duramax V8 turbo-diesel (LGH). The LGH diesel is B20 biodiesel capable. To meet more stringent emissions requirements, the LGH Duramax was designed with a robust EGR cooling system, along with revised turbocharger tuning that helps enhance EGR performance. It also has a large-capacity selective catalytic reduction system. In fact, the engine features the latest in emission control technology, making it the cleanest Duramax engine ever produced.
Torque for the engines is delivered to the pavement through the Hydro-Matic 4L60 four-speed automatic or the robust Hydra-Matic 6L90 heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is an available option.
On the road, the truck is very easy to maneuver, even in tight spots. The stout, full-frame underpinnings permit the application of tried and true suspension hardware -- independent short/long arm (SLA) with coil springs and a 30-mm stabilizer bar in the front; two-stage, semi-elliptic multi-leaf springs and semi floating axle in the rear.
Inside, the Express features modern instrumentation which includes a Driver Information Center that provides drivers with a wealth of information, including instructions to replace the fuel filter, clean the exhaust filter and service the air conditioning system; warnings that the transmission is hot, traction control is disengaged, the fuel level is low and a vehicle theft has been attempted; reminders that a turn signal has been left on, the gas cap has not been properly tightened and that the vehicle's top speed is limited.
Access in and out of the Express is easy. A wide, low step-in is built into all door openings. Double doors open wide at the right side and rear to facilitate loading of both passengers and cargo.
Also, an industry-first 60/40-split optional left-hand side-hinged door provides the segment's most flexible loading capability. It offers complete driver's side access to the cargo area, making loading and unloading cargo easy.

25 Years of Hale Aina
HONOLULU Magazine's Restaurant Awards have grown—along with the restaurants themselves.
(page 1 of 4)
The Hale Aina Awards. The name now has resonance. Hale Aina plaques line the walls of Hawaii's best restaurants. The award-winning chefs find themselves on television each year, building anticipation for the award ceremony itself.
This year, 1,000 people dressed up and attended the awards at the Sheraton ballroom. They feasted on jumbo scallops with roasted garlic chili cream, beef Wellington with morels and port Madeira demiglace, even Texas wild boar ragu with kabocha pappardelle, washed down with lychee martinis and fine wines.
Everyone seems to know that HONOLULU Magazine's restaurant awards denote the best in Island culinary achievement—and the best party. It wasn't always that way.
Twenty five years ago—to the day, as I write this—I made calls to the restaurants who had won the first Hale Aina Awards. I had to explain everything. That the magazine had included a ballot in its annual Restaurant Guide, asking readers for their favorite restaurants in 14 categories, from French food to fast food.
I skipped over the fact that we'd tallied the results, in pencil, on a huge sheet of paper taped to the wall of our administrative assistant's office, an arduous job. She didn't get a computer until the next year. I just told the restaurants that they'd won. And that, by the way, Hale Aina meant eating place in Hawaiian. I was met by a lot of polite incomprehension. The chef at John Dominis concluded the call by asking, "What is this again? The Aina Haina Awards?"
At Matteo's, which won Best Italian Restaurant, the staff kept transferring my call. I ended up talking to Joyce the bookkeeper, who said it was a pretty good restaurant, though she didn't much care for Italian food. I used the quote.
We also called a few readers, whose ballots we picked at random, to reward them with a $50 dining gift certificate ($100 in today's dollars). I had to call a Waialae Iki housewife named Helga twice. She hung up on me the first time, she said, because she thought I was a burglar checking to see if anyone was home.
Things have gotten easier. Restaurants now anticipate the calls. The problem 25 years ago wasn't just that the Hale Aina Awards were new. They were unprecedented. A few restaurants had gotten awards from Mainland travel interests. But no one had ever thought to ask people who lived here what the best restaurants were.
Readers responded enthusiastically, decorating their ballots with stars and exclamation points, filling the margins with comments.

Downton Abbey
21 comments:
One day I will see it:) But I did print out the dolls and showed my friend who was watching it last night also..ReplyDelete
Thank you!Thank you~
Oh, Carol, that watercolor is fabulous! The cup is incredible. Well done. We watched the last Downton Abbey and it saddened me that my mom and dad couldn't have enjoyed it--they'd have loved it. It was good fun. I'll look forward to the next batch.ReplyDelete
I love how you paint white - it's so delicate. And yummy.ReplyDelete
I have to get on the stick and start watching Downton Abbey. Goodness. I'm missing out on something evidently.
watch Gosford Park in the meantime DucksReplyDelete
Same deal..terribly amusing
- Lucinda1:12 PM
What the British have to say about Downton...ahemReplyDelete
Loved this post Carol- we are totally hooked on DA. Aside from the characters the setting is just spectacular. I adore the costumes and decor. I will look for the parody to get us through. Your strawberry tea painting is just lovely... thank you for sharing it with us.ReplyDelete
Lots of resolution last night, but plenty of cliffhanging too. Mr. Bates please don't do anything that will get you further trouble.. And would someone please help him?ReplyDelete
I've heard they are filming 3.
Wonderful behind the scenes last night.
It is a fantastic watercolor!
- Anonymous1:40 PM
I'm a big fan of Downton's but am always concerned about the public overly glamorizing the life at the time, including the hard-but-noble portrayal of what a servant's life was.ReplyDelete
To supplement the Downton craze (and kill time while season 3 arrives) I HIGHLY recommend the 'Manor House' PBS 'social reality' show produced back in 2003.
I've been watching it over the past week and think all Downton fans will love it!!! Pauline (from CA)
I am so happy to know they will marry at last! Could not face another year worrying about how to get Lady Mary married off to the right one!ReplyDelete
The BBC spoof is hysterical! Love the comment about the precis for idiots.
As one of the generation of the "Working Class," I find myself continually amused at the foibles of my fellow citizens, no matter the class.ReplyDelete
Myself included, of course.
And oh yes, Carol, your beautiful
and elegant painting is so veddy veddy appropriate.
I wanna go!ReplyDelete
If you're a Whitney Houston fan you should check out my Tribute Covers:
-Love Erika xo
The painting is wonderful. Love that cup.ReplyDelete
I'm so sad that it's ended again. I hate the wait for the next installment. I can't believe that Lady Mary is such a snoot that she, after all her bad choices, still insists that Matthew bend the knee. She should have fallen into his arms in sheer relief! But that would have been out of character.ReplyDelete
Carol, your tea cups are perfection!
- Margaret5:00 PM
Many thanks for the Downton Abbey blog today. I loved it!ReplyDelete
And in 2 weeks I am attending a D.A. dinner - dressed in costume.
Who knew DA would be loved as much or more than Upstairs Downstairs of many years ago?
Yes, I don't think you'd be at all impressed by the wardrobe of Friday Night Lights. But House of Elliott, oooouuuiiii!ReplyDelete
you are suffering from instant gratification.
You must learn to wait -Go to France and get adopted.
I was rather pleased Lady Mary still insists on 'holding her cards'. Mathew didn't mind a bit getting down on bended knee either.
After all, certain things must be donw a certain way.
- Elizabeth6:28 PM
Loved this blog entry!ReplyDelete
L'Wren Scott's Fall 2012 collection is also based on "Downton Abbey."
.. oh Carol, what a great post .. you know something will stumble in the way of Mary and Matthew, who knows what. It just won't be allowed to go smooth. And grandma from the USA arrives next season, Shirley MacLaine ... she could be great or real trouble, since it was Lady Cora's family who pumped money into the Abbey.ReplyDelete
Funny story ... my friend asked his wife who she was rooting for for on superbowl sunday, and she said Lady Mary and Matthew -ha!
I can't wait ... but will have to as we have had to wait forever for Mad Men. 3/31 resumes.
Lovely painting as usual.
Best, Karen
Carol I have loved this series so much I fear I make go into a deep withdrawal!!ReplyDelete
Art by Karena
LOVE your watercolour!ReplyDelete
Yes, the British press and public are far more critical, with good reason, of Fellowes' script (though that doesn't stop them watching it in their millions!).
Funny spoof - perhaps the best part being the AbFab duo Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders perfectly cast?!

The Wall Street Journal (subscription only) has a story in today's paper about the growing popularity of widgets and how Paramount, in particular, is using widgets to promote its new film, "Freedom Writers," starring Hilary Swank.
You know widgets are the next big thing when the Wall Street Journal starts writing about widgets. Expect more of the traditional media to cover widgets over the next several months. Case in point, Steve Rubel will appear on CNBC ON The Money today at 7 pm EST to talk about the rising use of widgets for marketing.
With all this talk about widgets, here are my predictions for 2007:
- A national consumer magazine will feature widgets as their cover story
- Widgets will fuel RSS as people start consuming feeds without even knowing it
- Most people will have no idea that the cool stuff that appears on their web page or desktop is actually called a widget. A study will quantify this information and bloggers, pundits and the rest will go on and on about what this means for the Internet and humanity.
- Widgets will take on text ads as a way for micro publishers to make money off their web sites
- CPM rates for banner ads will drop to all time lows as widgets grow in popularity for advertisers
- Widgets will raise issues about syndication and copyright protection
- A widget aggregator, such as Widgetbox or snipperoo will be bought by a big media company like Yahoo! or Google
- Widgets, coupled with the video sharing phenomena, will change how brands are positioned. More brands will start replacing traditional advertisements with humorous or informative media that people will post to their blogs and web sites through widget players
- Widgets will change how we we publish to the web. Widgets will become a platform for personal expression as much as blogs or podcasts
- Thankfully, we will not see a conference called "Widgetpalooza."
Update: Widget office suites will emerge in 2007! Add it to the list. Yes, componetized web apps on an Intranet could be very handy.

CAPE GIRARDEAU Mo. -- Watch up close as live birds are banded at the Cape Girardeau Nature Center on Saturday, May 7, as part of the Nature Center's annual Migratory Bird Day.
The event is timed to coincide with natural migration patterns as millions of birds are making their way north this month. Nature Center Assistant Manager Steven Juhlin said this event offers a great chance to "join" the birds in their journey.
"There are so many marvelous aspects of bird migration and if these birds could talk, the stories they would tell of their treacherous journey would be amazing," Juhlin said.
Free Again Rehabilitation Center will make special appearances with their birds of prey at 11 a.m. and 1p.m.
Live bird banding demonstrations begin at 7 a.m. and continue throughout the morning with a variety of family activities and programs running from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Events during the day include sessions on bird identification, birding walks, birding tools and techniques, a migration puppet show, door prizes and more.
For more information on the day's activities, call the Nature Center at 573-290-5218.

What to drink
Three Floyds
Web: http://www.3floyds.com/
Twitter: @3floyds
The legendary hop kings up at Three Floyds have gained a national reputation for themselves despite only distributing to a handful of states. If you're from North Carolina or West Virginia, there's a strong chance you've never tried their beers. Even if you're from Michigan, the Three Floyds products don't reach you without a quick trip south of the border. For this reason, if you're a fan of hops, Three Floyds is an excellent representation of what Indiana breweries are capable of. Alpha King, Gumballhead, and Robert the Bruce are their easiest to find year-round beers and all great options.
Web: http://www.bellsbeer.com/
Twitter: @bellsbrewery
This one is especially for those coming from West Virginia. Since Bell's is available in Michigan (their home state) and North Carolina, I won't spend too much time on this brewery other than to say that Oberon was just released this week. Oberon is a summer wheat beer that is easily their best seller and has a wide following. If you know someone who normally drinks Blue Moon, give this a shot instead while you're in town. There's no contest.
Web: http://www.uplandbeer.com/
Twitter: @uplandindy
Upland hails from Bloomington, the home of Indiana University, and is one of our largest microbreweries. They currently distribute out-of-state only to a small portions of Wisconsin and Kentucky, so most of the out-of-state fans will find something new with this brewery. Their Wheat is a big summer beer in Indiana, providing more of a lemon-citrus character than Oberon's yeasty orange flavor. Their Infinite Wisdom Tripel was recently released, and while it might not be easy to find, the Tap Room a few miles north of downtown is sure to have it.
New Albanian
Web: http://www.newalbanian.com/
Twitter: @newalbanian
The New Albanian Brewing Company only recently started distributing as far north as Indianapolis, and we're very glad they did. Hoptimus is a powerful Imperial IPA, weighing in at an excess of 10% ABV and 100 IBUs. If you're looking for something a bit more sessionable, the Beak's Best has a nice hop and malt balance and will be great with almost any pub food you can throw at it.
Sun King
Web: http://www.sunkingbrewing.com/
Twitter: @sunkingbrewing
Sun King is kind of like the cool new kid on the playground. They opened up about a year ago and are already available on tap throughout the city. Their tap room is home to $5 growler refills on Fridays and is a local hangout on Friday nights, despite everything for sale being in to-go containers. I can't guarantee that the refill special will be going on during the tournament weekend, but the regular price of $6.50 isn't too shabby. Due to surging popularity, they purchased a canning line far ahead of schedule and should have cans available for sale this Friday in the tap room, right in time for the tournament! Stop in and pick some up for the weekend.
Where to drink
We've covered this one before. Rather than repeat it all, check out these awesome posts. In them we cover a lot of the local bars, breweries, and brewpubs, which were not necessarily listed in the previous section. Just because I didn't draw specific attention to them earlier certainly doesn't mean they're not worth visiting. It's going to be busy this weekend, so a lengthy list of bars will be a good thing to have. Hey, we actually have a lot of beer in Indianapolis.
Broad Ripple - 15 minutes north of Downtown
36 hours in Indianapolis - More than simply bars; a good up-to-date guide of things to do in the city
Your Home Team Bar
Michigan State - Champps
Web: http://www.champps.com/
Sorry, you guys got a little screwed on the bar selection. Champps is basically an upscale Applebees or TGI Fridays. The food is decent but the beer list is going to leave a lot to be desired. You might see Bell's Oberon on tap here due to its popularity. Luckily there is a Rock Bottom right across the street with a ton of TVs in the bar and downstairs and some really great local beers on tap. You might want to stop in if Champps is looking too crowded. Yes, Rock Bottom is also a chain, but one with all local beer recipes and their own brewmaster.
Duke - Buffalo Wild Wings
Web: http://www.buffalowildwings.com/
Buffalo Wild Wings is also a chain, but it's one that at one time was famous for almost half of its 35-40 taps holding craft beer. Unfortunately, the owners have recently decided that doubling up on taps of Budweiser, Miller, and Coors would make more sense, and have cut craft beer down to only 6 or so taps. They do still regularly carry things like Three Floyd's Gumballhead, Bell's Oberon, Upland Wheat, Founders Breakfast Stout and Dogfish Head World Wide Stout. That's right, a beer you can't even legally buy in North Carolina was on tap here a couple of weeks back. While you're in town, you might want to pick up some Dogfish Head beer before you head back. Indulge in the 15%+ ABV freedom.
West Virginia - Scotty's Brewhouse
Web: http://www.scottysbrewhouse.com/
Twitter: @brewhouse
Scotty's is a local Indiana favorite with the recently-graduated-from-college crowd. A family-friendly restaurant that boasts 40 taps, with at least 2/3 of them dedicated to craft and import beers, you'll surely be able to find some local Indiana favorites on. The fried dill chips appetizer and anything with Mofo sauce are the top sellers here on the food menu. You'll be able to order Three Floyds, Upland, People's (out of Purdue-hometown Lafayette), New Albanian, Oaken Barrel, Sun King and many other Indiana beers.
Butler - The RAM
Web: http://www.theram.com/
Congratulations Butler! You scored yourselves a microbrewery! Despite its chain status, all of the seasonal beers on tap here are created locally. Actually all the beers are created locally, but the seasonal ones are from local recipes. Burgers are the star of the food menu in my opinion, with a diverse selection of toppings and incredibly large size. Ask for a sampler if you haven't tried their beers before. Try to sit in the bar, as it will give you the best view of their huge TVs.
This guide certainly does not present every option you have in town. Check out the city and try beers you can't get at home. What better way to celebrate your team making it to the Final Four in Indianapolis than with some great craft beer! If you'd like some help on suggestions of bars to try or beers available, check back with our blog on Friday for a segment we like to call the Random Beer Roundup. We will be running all of the local craft beer events for the weekend, new arrivals at local liquor stores, and other news tidbits from the area. The Random Beer Roundup is a great way to figure out which liquor stores and bars are really dedicated to the craft beer crowd.
One last warning - you cannot purchase beer/wine/liquor on Sunday. Do NOT forget this or you may end up very upset. Plan ahead and buy on the right day. Yes it's stupid, but we all have our dumb liquor laws we have to work with. Also, that only refers to carry-out alcohol; you can still drink at bars/restaurants.

NFL Recap - Week 8

(Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)
- Chicago Bears 23 - Carolina Panthers 22The Chicago Bears extened their NFC North lead with a one-point win over the (1-6) Carolina Panthers. The Bears were trailing 19-7 heading into the fourth quarter and that is when Jay Cutler took control. Cutler led his team down to the Carolina 23-yard line and Robbie Gould kicked the game-winning field goal as time expired. (Photo by John Gress/Getty Images)
- Cleveland Browns 7 - San Diego Chargers 6Phillip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers looked to end their two-game losing streak against the Cleveland Browns. But Rivers couldn't get his offense going, finishing 18 for 34 and 154 yards and no touchdowns. The Browns relied on their rooking running back Trent Richardson to score the only touchdown of the game and earn the Browns their second win of the season. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)
- Detroit Lions 28 - Seattle Seahawks 24Detroit Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 352-yards and three touchdowns including two to second-year wide receiver Titus Young.

(Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)
- Green Bay Packers 24 - Jacksonville Jaguars 15It was another record-setting game for Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers despite not having two of his top receivers. Rodgers failed to get into a groove with his offence and threw for just 186-yards and two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodgers' second TD pass in the fourth quarter to Donald Driver sealed win for the Packers and surpassed Bart Starr for second place on the Packers' all-time list. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
- Miami Dolphins 30 - New York Jets 9The Dolphins' starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill was knocked out of the game after the Dolphins' second possession with a left leg injury. But that didn't stop backup quarterback Matt Moore from leading the Dolphins to a rout over their division rival. After playing for a lead of the division two weeks ago, the Jets have lost two in a row and now sit at the bottom of the AFC East. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
- Atlanta Falcons 30 - Philadelphia Eagles 17Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons continue their dominance over the NFL with a 30-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

(Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
- Pittsburgh Steelers 27 - Washington Redskins 12Pittsburgh's "Steel Curtain" swarmed the Redskins' RG3 to allow only 177 yards passing and 8 yards running for the rookie quarterback. While the Steelers defense kept RG3 in check, Ben Roethlisberger lit up the Redskins defense for 222 yards and three TD's as the Steelers won two consecutive games for the first time this season. (Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)
- New England Patriots 45 - St Louis Rams 7The New England Patriots and St. Louis Rams flew across the pond to play in annual game at Wembley Stadium in London. This game was not even close as the Patriots build up a 28-7 lead by the end of the first half. Tom Brady connected with his tight end Ron Gronkowski for 146 yards and 2TD's as the Patriots racked up over 350 yards in total offense for the 17th straight game which sets a new NFL record. (Photo by Jamie McDonald/Getty Images)
- Indianapolis Colts 19 - Tennessee Titans 13Colts' quarterback Andrew Luck showed again why the team selected him #1 in the draft. Luck led his team on two 80-yard scoring drives, including the fourth quarter drive the tied the score and sent the game to overtime. In overtime Luck threw a 16-yard TD pass to Vick Ballard to beat the Titans 19-13 and record the Colts' fourth win of the season. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)
- Oakland Raiders 26 - Kansas City Chiefs 16The Oakland Raiders had no trouble scoring against the struggling Chiefs. Carson Palmer threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns, Darren McFadden ran for 114 yards and Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field-goals as the Raiders remain one game back from division leader Denver Broncos. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
- New York Giants 29 - Dallas Cowboys 24The New York Giants built up a 23-0 lead in the first half, then the Cowboys rallied for 24 unanswered points. The Giants battle back and kicked two field-goals in the fourth quarter to take a 29-24 lead. With less than two minutes remaining Tony Romo drove the Cowboys down the field and threw a pass to Dez Bryant for what appeared to be a game-winning touchdown. But after an official review, Bryant landed with his fingers out-of-bounds and the Giants secured the win. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)
- Denver Broncos 34 - New Orleans Saints 14Sunday Night Football featued two of the league's top quarterbacks, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. But it was Manning, the four-time NFL MVP, that took advantage of the league's worst defense. Manning threw for 305 yards and 3 TD's as the Broncos gained 530 yards in total offense and won for the first time this season two straight games. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)
- San Francisco 49ers 24 - Arizona Cardinals 3Monday Night Football featured and NFC West showdown, between the San Francisco 49 and Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers' Alex Smith almost had a perfect night going 18-fo-19 for 232 yards and three touchdowns. The 49ers' defense was able to shut down the Cardinals' offense and hold them to just 7 yards rushing. With the win, the 49ers take a commanding two game lead in the division.

LOGAN – Utah State University's Department of Geology announces the opening of a new museum on the school's Logan campus, along with the return of the department's popular 'Rock and Fossil Day,' Saturday, Nov. 9, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
All ages are invited to the free event, which features a variety of hands-on educational activities along with admission to museum exhibits.
"We're excited to show off our new facility, which is a labor of love on the part of our students, faculty and staff," says Dave Liddell, professor and department head. "Our scholars have put a lot of effort into the museum and we think it will be a great educational resource for the community."
The new museum is located in Room 203 of the Geology Building, which is situated at the northeast corner of the USU Quad.
Creation of the museum was initiated by a not-so-festive incident that occurred in May 2011, when a burglar broke into the Geology building and stole a number of artifacts, including a mammoth tooth and meteorites.
"We realized we needed to move our valuable specimens into a central, secure location and it also seemed like an optimal opportunity to create a place the community could enjoy," Liddell says.
Several USU alums rallied to the cause, including Matt Novak MS'93 and Holly Novak '93, who, along with their employer ExxonMobil, provided financial support, as well as Logan High School teacher Paul Jamison '82 and Cache Valley resident Tyson Hunter '13, who each provided in-kind donations.
USU undergraduate researcher Michael Strange serves as museum curator and created many of the facility's exhibits, along with professor Susanne Janecke and classmates A.J. Knight and Shawna Olsen.
Visitors to Nov. 9's opening are invited to bring their "mystery" rocks and fossils for identification by USU geologists.
Parking for the Saturday event is available in the surface lot south of Old Main and in the university parking terraces at 700 E. 600 North and 850 E. 700 North. The campus is also served by Cache Valley Transit District bus routes 1 and 4, which stop at the Veterinary Science building at 700 North, one block north of the Geology Building.
Following the Nov. 9 celebration, the museum will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
For more information, call 435-797-1273.

There was no immediate report of casualties, and the cause of the fire was unclear. State media, citing local authorities, said the blaze started in a guesthouse and was ruled accidental.
The fire broke out at 1:27 a.m. in the ancient Tibetan quarter of Dukezong, which dates back more than 1,000 years and is known for its preserved cobbled streets, ancient structures and Tibetan culture. It is part of scenic Shangri-La county in Deqen prefecture.
Once called Gyaitang Zong, the county in 2001 renamed itself Shangri-La, hoping to draw tourists by the reference to the mythical Himalayan land described in James Hilton's 1933 novel. Like hundreds of Chinese cities and counties, Shangri-La renovated its old neighborhood, Dukezong, turning it into a tourist attraction filled with shops and guesthouses.
Photos and video footage showed Dukezong and its labyrinth of houses engulfed in flames that turned the night sky red.
The fire destroyed about 242 houses and shops in Dukezong, dislocated more than 2,600 people, and torched many historic artifacts, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
He Yu, a resident, said she woke to loud, explosion-like sounds to find the old town on fire.
"The fire was huge," she said. "The wind was blowing hard, and the air was dry. I was scared because my home is a little distance away from the ancient town. It kept burning, and the firefighters were there, but there was little they could do because they could not get the fire engines onto the old town's narrow streets."
With fire engines kept out, local residents lined up to pass buckets of water to combat the fire, the Deqen prefecture government said.
Most of the buildings were made of wood and the fire spread easily because of dry weather, state-run China Central Television said.
More than 2,000 firefighters, soldiers, police, local officials and volunteers responded to the blaze and brought it under control at around 11 a.m., the Shangri-La county government said.

A. "Cased" images such as tintypes (shown in the peach frame) and daguerreotypes (matted in brass) arc some of the earliest forms of photography. Tintypes date from 1856 to the early 20th century, while daguerreotypes go back as far as 1840 and remained popular for the next 20 years or so. Both processes involved printing the images on metal.
Your scrapbook isn't the best place for these one-of-a-kind photos. Instead, make copies to use in the album, then safely store the originals. David Mishkin, president of Just Black & White, a Portland, Maine, photo-restoration lab, recommends placing tintypes and daguerreotypes in envelopes made from acid-free, lignin-free paper; polyethylene; or Mylar. They're available from archival suppliers.
