Jesus knew the toll that weariness can exact on the human spirit. Tiredness of heart can slowly drain the human heart of the life force it needs to beat confidently through life.
Weariness afflicts the old and the young. The young succumb to boredom. The old pass their days hoping for an uplift that does not come through bus trips and bingo.
Walker Percy likened despair to that stuffed and sleepy feeling that comes upon one after a martini-fueled lunch, when all that can be looked forward to is the next day's lunch. And more martinis.
Yet some people find something in life that keeps them alert, alive, passionate and giving. They keep moving, keep giving, keep hoping.
I remember seeing an old lady on a Manhattan street. She looked to be a bag lady. She wore a knit cap and a coat that was several sizes too big. She had a grocery cart filled with her belongings and pushed it in front of her as she made her way up the street.
She moved with a shuffle. The wheels on the cart were a bit off, and she had to struggle a bit to keep it balanced. She stopped at every trash can, looking for cans, for discarded newspapers, for items that she thought she might have use of.
When she found something good, she took it and placed it in her cart. And kept moving.
I had the impression that she was determined, that she had a purpose or two that got her through her days. Her bingo was the street and its challenges, as well as the treasures she found, treasures that were once trash. I think her life had a spark. It had a bounce.
In the news these days, there is a story about the possible demise of Twinkies -- the little cream-filled dessert cake. The factory is shutting down.
A friend of mine made it a point to tell me that Twinkies have absolutely no nutritional value. They are nicely packaged junk food.
I saw a picture yesterday of a crowd outside a store, their carts filled to the brim with Twinkie packages. Boxes and boxes of them. They were buying all they could, not being able to bear the thought of a Twinkie-less unverse.
We do not seem to think twice about filling ourselves with things that have no value. Twinkies offer nothing good for the weary, the hungry. But now the shelves are empty.
There are other shelves along life's aisles, filled with good and telling things. I'll tell you about one of them.
In the last years of my mom's life, we were blessed to have wonderful people who cared for her. We had -- she had -- George the nurse; Patricia and Dean, who were also nurses; Jeff the muscle therapist; Dr. White and others.
Her life was slipping away and they all knew that it was a matter of time before the end. But they worked her muscles, gave her medicines, bathed her, helped her inch along, fed her and clothed her.
I watched, and wondered, and I thought of something as I watched. All our efforts are limited. We help each other until we die -- and some of us help each other die.
My mom knew that her life here was ebbing away. But that did not matter to her. What she loved was the comfort of the words, and the warmth of human touch, the gift of the sincere care she was given.
We bear God within us, and it seemed that God was caring for God -- the persistent God, who in the most giving and spirited of us, never grows weary. It is God who loves us, through others, until the day we move on. He makes for a well-lived life, and a very human passing from one life to another.
It is God who keeps us going, be that a journey on a Manhattan street or in the arms of a caregiver. God is persistent. Look around and you will find him.
There is a world beyond Twinkies, if you move past the empty shelves to the delights on the streets and places where there is human, and persistent, care.

SIMCOE COUNTY – Dr. Lyle Palmer is looking for more adults to jump into the gene pool.
The scientific director for the Ontario Health Study is aiming to broaden involvement in a population-based study to include genetic research.
"The study has gone fantastically well. It's the biggest one in Canadian history, and one of the largest in the world," he said, adding the study includes 2.4 per cent of Ontario's adults, a number he'd like to see climb to 10 per cent.
More than 10,555 people in Simcoe County have joined the study, but Palmer said there's room for many more.
"We're looking to enrich the base by asking people to give a blood sample. It's a very valuable thing to have in terms of looking at biomarkers and diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer and depression," said the geneticist. "The idea is we will find biomarkers that will predict those at risk and how we can implement new public health and clinical measures."
Palmer added the research could help guide follow-up decisions and customize tests and treatments: "It's about individualizing medicine and targeting therapies appropriately."
Every adult in Ontario can enrol in the study at OntarioHealthStudy.ca, where they can complete an online questionnaire covering personal and family medical history, lifestyle and diet. A second round of questions will focus on mental health.
The study is funded by the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Cancer Care Ontario, Public Health Ontario and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.
Researchers will offer feedback and findings to patients via their homepage, said Palmer: "We will tell people which study their data has been used in. That's never been done before. People will enjoy that, and it's a way of being engaged."

601 S College St, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2820235.222108 -80.847967
i love charlotte – my husband brought me to charlotte from virginia because i am a huge basketball fan. i had the privdledge of staying at the westin hotel.
my husband had made arrangements for the chef to due a special menu just for us.
living in large cities all of my life and eating at somr of the countrys best restaurants, i must say that i was suprised to find such a great chef in charlotte nc.
ps if the monkfish with harissa is on the menu order it!!!!5***********
awesome – great to find a place that serves great food, service
big city atmosphere – drawn into this great restaurant after a few drinks at the westins bar 10, what a treat it was to find this hidden gem. great food, great service and a great cordials list. I returned to give it a second chance and was suprised to find a completly diffrent menu, i guess i wont be having the tuna again. the gracious hostess informed me that the menu changes every couple of weeks, what a treat!
Upscale fare that's a fave among fans of Charlotte's flourishing uptown scene. – In Short
Housed in the swanky uptown Westin Hotel, this upscale grille features contemporary American cuisine with a Southern flair, and an impressive wine list. Rich wood flooring, an open flame kitchen, outdoor patio, and a glorious view of uptown combine for a mod decor. The Sunday brunch is a local favorite, and a two-course prix fixe menu is offered nightly for $29.
Great Food!! POOR SERVICE!! – Although, the ambience here is incredible and very modern. The wait staff was VERY rude. My friends and I sat 20 minutes waiting for our drinks, with no apology. Then all of our meals were brought out at different times, by the time the last person received their meal everyone else was finished. The food was good, but who cares when the wait staff treats you like crap.
Also, we were never asked if we would like refills for wine or water. I was embarassed for them.

Ira Block Chronicles the Aftermath Ten Years On
Photographer Ira Block has a straightforward, haunting, unblinking look at the aftermath of September 11, 2001. As an internationally renowned shooter, Block has over thirty National Geographic stories under his belt. He is also a respected photo educator and workshop leader.
Due to restrictions in his agreement with National Geographic, we are unable to reproduce any of the images used in their story, which is now available for viewing on their site. Written by Luna Shyr, Block's photos accompany her piece entitled "Starting from Ground Zero: Ten years after 9/11, how have the survivors healed—and what wounds still remain?"
A gallery show of these impressive images is scheduled for October 19th, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Foto Care in New York City.
To capture both the disturbing images of wreckage, such as a piece of one of the planes' fuselage, to the life-affirming smile of a survivor with her children, Block relied on his Mamiya 645AFD III with a 33 megapixel back. Mamiya lenses used were a 120mm macro, an 80mm f/2.8 and a 150mm f/2.8. His tripod is an Induro CT414—"the big one," he says. Profoto Strobes were used, along with Acute2 1200 Generators, and Acute2 2400 Generators. He also employed a Creative Light Octa Sofbox. His lights were triggered by PocketWizard MultiMAX units.
You can see Block's thoughts on the event, the subsequent images, and the intervening years in a new post on his blog.
Another impressive credit belonging to this photographer is Block taught the first creative digital photography class at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He regularly appears at workshops around the world. His blog on photography, photographic gear, and creativity, is not to be missed.

Taliesin - Milk House (J. Draeger photo, 1990)
Taliesin - Tan-Y-Deri (J. Draeger photo, 1990)
STH 23, Town of Wyoming, Iowa County
Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright
In 1911, Frank Lloyd Wright began his home, Taliesin, outside Spring Green, Wisconsin. Taliesin, a Welsh word meaning "shining brow," acknowledges its perch on the brow of a stately hill. This hill captivated Wright as a teenager working on the surrounding farms of his Welsh maternal relatives, the Lloyd-Jones'. Wright intended Taliesin to be a home, studio and farm for himself and his mistress, Mamah Borthwick. Over time, Wright amassed the surrounding buildings and land, creating his Taliesin estate. Today the estate totals 600 acres with five Wright-designed structures, and a Wright-designed waterfall.
Two of Wright's buildings stand within sight of his home: "Romeo and Juliet" and Tan-y-Deri. Wright designed Romeo and Juliet in 1886 as a windmill tower to pump water to his aunts' co-educational Hillside Home School. The wooden tower's daring design has no internal support, but is comprised of two interlocking forms that inspired its name. Romeo, a diamond, protects Juliet from the southwesterly winds. Juliet, an octagon, embraces and supports Romeo. Tan-y-deri, a 1907 home commissioned by Wright's sister and brother-in-law, sits in the shadow of Romeo and Juliet. Tan-y-deri is also Welsh, translating as "Under the Oaks," reflecting its setting among mature oaks.
Further down the hill is Hillside School, another Wright building commissioned by his aunts. Built in 1902-3, Hillside is T-shaped with walls of sandstone, beige stucco and broad, protective roofs. Hillside includes an assembly hall supported by the corners, instead of the outer walls. Wright said later that the Hillside Home School helped him to "break the box" of architecture.
The Taliesin estate also contains Wright's Midway Barns, a farm complex that clings to a prominent hill. Wright employed the newest farming techniques at Midway Barns, which became the agricultural center of the estate from the 1930s until his death.
Taliesin was Wright's sketchbook. Its importance lies in Wright's constant structural and spatial experimentation on both buildings and landscape. Wright changed Taliesin whenever he wanted, particularly after he founded the Taliesin Fellowship with his third wife, Olgivanna, in 1932. Mr. Wright and Mrs. Wright created the Fellowship as an architectural and artistic community, teaching the apprentices to "learn by doing." Under Wright's direction, his apprentices added a 5,000 sq. foot drafting studio to the Hillside Home School, remodeled the original Hillside gym into a theater, expanded Midway Barns, planted or removed trees and reshaped the estate's pond, and made scores of changes to the Taliesin residence.
Additionally, several fires forced Wright to make changes at the Taliesin estate. Two fires destroyed the living quarters of the Taliesin residence. On August 15, 1914, one of Wright's servants set fire to the building and murdered seven people, including Borthwick, while Wright was working in Chicago. The second fire, on April 22, 1925, was likely caused by electrical problems. Wright redesigned and rebuilt Taliesin each time. And finally, on April 26, 1952, a fire consumed one wing of the Hillside structure, allowing Wright to redesign its dining room and theater.
Today, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation owns the Taliesin estate. The Taliesin Fellowship, under the auspices of the Foundation, uses the estate as its summer residence. Tours at the Taliesin estate are run by Taliesin Preservation, Inc., a separate organization. Tours are offered seasonally.

The year is coming to an end and again overall results show the domination of North Kiteboarding: Congratulations Mario, Steph, Stefan, Flo, Luke, Sabrina and Maxime!
Four days of spectacular competitions, light and strong wind conditions at the beach of Castelldefels came to a fabulous end, when the European Championship in Kiteboarding Freestyle as well as the winners of the MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe in Course Racing were crowned. 97 riders out of 19 nations participated in Spain.
The wind didn't came up on the last day to run the double eliminations in Freestyle and to continue with Course Racings, but everyone enjoyed the friendly spanish atmosphere and the prize giving ceremony at the beach. The first day of the event had amazing conditions for Freestyle, with perfectly sunny weather and winds up to twenty knots. This allowed the riders to show how far the riding has come over the last decade. In the single eliminations, Mario Rodwald (GER, North) and Stefan Spiessberger (AUT, North) made their way to the final. Apure North Kiteboarding final of team mates! Rodwald travelled to Spain as the leader of the MINI KTE ranking and was unstoppable to get the title. In the final of the single eliminations, he won against Stefan. Place one and two for North Kiteboarding. Luke Whiteside made it to the excellent 3rd place overall.
In the women division, dutch freestyler Annelous Lammerts won the spanish stop against Therese Taabbel (DEN) with powerful and clean moves. German North Kiteboarding rider Sabrina Lutz gained third place on the podium after her heat against Kelly Schouten (NED).
After five events all the results are in: Rodwald and Lammerts are the winners of the final stop of the MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe in Castelldefels, Spain and were also crowned European Champions 2012. Stefan Spiessberger and Sabrina Lutz, obtained second places of the overall ranking 2012. Well done boys and girls!!
In Course Racings, Maxime Nocher (FRA, North Kiteboarding) crossed the finish line as a respectful third. With this result he managed to achieve the Second podium place in the tour overall ranking, followed by german olympic hope Florian Gruber (North Kiteboarding). Great racing boys! For professional North Kiteboarding team rider Steph Bridge (GBR), the 2012 season was successful again. In Brouwersdam, Netherlands, she became first overall and then dominated the KTE. France. Here in Spain, she left no doubt again about who is one of the fastest European female racers by winning all races and clearly dominating the women's fleet.
Altogether again an amazing weekend for all North Kiteboarding athletes showing the world they are the ones to beat!
Well done team!
Steph Bridge takes European Champion, Florian Gruber takes 3rd overall
Some decent races were held at the kite race Europeans at KTE La Baule where over 110 racers competed for the european title. Winds were generally light and variable making conditions challenging. North riders dotted the front end of the fleets with the new green Dynos and Race LTDs and all were gaining valuable experience preparing for the kite race worlds starting this week in Italy. The mens fleet was dominated by the up and coming young North Kiteboarding Riders Florian Gruber in 3rd and 3 points behind Olly Bridge from the UK in 6th while mum Steph Bridge took 1st place in the womans fleet.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Seth Borenstein / The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Any day now, billions of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl out of the earth after 17 years underground and overrun the East Coast. The insects will arrive in such numbers that people from North Carolina to Connecticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more.
Gary Hevel, a research collaborator with the Department of Entomology at the National Museum of Natural History, holds up a preserved cicadas.
The Associated Press
Any day now, cicadas with bulging red eyes will creep out of the ground after 17 years and overrun the East Coast with the awesome power of numbers. Big numbers. Billions. Maybe even a trillion. For a few buggy weeks, residents from North Carolina to Connecticut will be outnumbered by 600 to 1.
2003 Associated Press File Photo/University of Connecticut/Chris Simon
Scientists even have a horror-movie name for the infestation: Brood II. But as ominous as that sounds, the insects are harmless. They won't hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket certain pockets of the region, though lots of people won't ever see them.
"It's not like these hordes of cicadas suck blood or zombify people," says May Berenbaum, a University of Illinois entomologist.
They're looking for just one thing: sex. And they've been waiting quite a long time.
Since 1996, this group of 1-inch bugs, in wingless nymph form, has been a few feet underground, sucking on tree roots and biding their time. They will emerge only when the ground temperature reaches precisely 64 degrees. After a few weeks up in the trees, they will die and their offspring will go underground, not to return until 2030.
"It's just an amazing accomplishment," Berenbaum says. "How can anyone not be impressed?"
And they will make a big racket, too. The noise all the male cicadas make when they sing for sex can drown out your own thoughts, and maybe even rival a rock concert. In 2004, Gene Kritsky, an entomologist at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, measured cicadas at 94 decibels, saying it was so loud "you don't hear planes flying overhead."
There are ordinary cicadas that come out every year around the world, but these are different. They're called magicicadas – as in magic – and are red-eyed. And these magicicadas are seen only in the eastern half of the United States, nowhere else in the world.
The website Cicada Mania doesn't list Maine as one of the states expecting to see great numbers.
There are 15 U.S. broods that emerge every 13 or 17 years, so that nearly every year, some place is overrun. Last year it was a small area, mostly around the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. Next year, two places get hit: Iowa into Illinois and Missouri; and Louisiana and Mississippi. And it's possible to live in these locations and actually never see them.
This year's invasion, Brood II, is one of the bigger ones. Several experts say that they really don't have a handle on how many cicadas are lurking underground but that 30 billion seems like a good estimate. At the Smithsonian Institution, researcher Gary Hevel thinks it may be more like 1 trillion.
Even if it's merely 30 billion, if they were lined up head to tail, they'd reach the moon and back.
"There will be some places where it's wall-to-wall cicadas," says University of Maryland entomologist Mike Raupp.
Strength in numbers is the key to cicada survival: There are so many of them that the birds can't possibly eat them all, and those that are left over are free to multiply, Raupp says.
But why only every 13 or 17 years? Some scientists think they come out in these odd cycles so that predators can't match the timing and be waiting for them in huge numbers. Another theory is that the unusual cycles ensure that different broods don't compete with each other much.
And there's the mystery of just how these bugs know it's been 17 years and time to come out, not 15 or 16 years.

Dinner & a Movie
Dinner & a Movie: Singin' in the Rain
Our videographer Elena Parker -- a serious food and film buff -- is really good at throwing movie-themed dinner parties. She and her friends cook together, serve up, and eat while they watch.
We've asked her to start sharing the menus for her favorite films with us -- here's the fifth installment: the classic musical Singin' in the Rain.
The heat does several things to me: it makes me tired, it makes me sweat and, because of both of those previous things, it makes me pretty angry. Naturally, I turn to movies for all the things that ail me and, for those heat-related bothers, there is not a single better cure than Singin' in the Rain.
I don't believe that the story of the silent film star, Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) needs much of an introduction. After sound enters the film industry, Don and his insufferably high-pitched screen partner Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen, in the most highly underrated film villain role of all time) must adjust to the technology. Enter Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds), with a voice to match Lina's looks. Of course, the most glorious parts of the film have little to do with the 'plot'. Regardless of the fact that the story is quite flawless, my favorite scenes mostly consist of the dancing. "Make 'em Laugh," with the incomparable Donald O'Connor, the incredibly catchy "Good Mornin'...," scene and, of course, the unforgettable images of Gene Kelly dancing through the storm.
Singin' in the Rain will not only erase every single negative, heat-induced thought from your head, I also believe that this flick servers as a spiritual plea to the Film Gods. If we all think about that single image of Gene Kelly grabbing a streetlamp and embracing the downpour, I think the powers that be will hear us and the rain will appear, cutting the insufferable heat down to size. And then we shall all have a smile on our collective faces.
But, in case it doesn't work (those Film Gods can be fickle) ... we can always enjoy the following meal, which derives itself mostly from the spirit of "Good Mornin'..." and, of course, the cake out of which Kathy emerges the first time we see her dance.

At least I am not alone when it comes to the heat bringing anger. If we could happily skip to fall without compromising the sunlight (for my herbs growing) that would be awesome!
I am definitely going to try the magical coffee recipe tomorrow, it looks and sounds pretty great.

This is one of our family favorites, I love the idea of this movie providing refreshment from hot weather. My kids still want to watch this if they're home sick from school. I love that you are highlighting this!

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The two-hour memorial service for slain ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, 38, has ended.
Bagpipers played as Kyle's flag-draped coffin was carried out of Cowboys Stadium. Some of the nearly 7,000 people who attended have started leaving the stadium.
Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, told mourners that he'll always be with her.
His friends and military service members said he was a dedicated family man known for his sense of humor, compassion, selflessness and generosity.
Iraq War veteran Eddie Ray Routh, 25, has been charged in the Feb. 2 killings of Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield at a North Texas gun range. Routh is being held in Erath County on $3 million bond.
Kyle will be buried at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin after a 200-mile funeral procession starting in the Dallas area Tuesday morning.
The director of the nonprofit that Kyle set up to give in-home fitness equipment to physically and emotionally wounded veterans has said that Kyle and Littlefield apparently had been helping Routh work through post-traumatic stress disorder.
Kyle, Littlefield and Routh were all together Feb. 2 when they arrived at the shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth, authorities say. Routh later fled the range in Kyle's truck and went to his sister's home.
According to a search warrant, Routh told his sister and brother-in-law that the men "were out shooting target practice and he couldn't trust them so he killed them before they could kill him." Routh's sister called the police, describing her brother as "psychotic." Routh was arrested after a short police chase.
Routh's brother-in-law told authorities that Routh had recently been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. One of Routh's attorneys, J. Warren St. John, said his client had been released from the Dallas Veterans Affairs hospital against his family's wishes just two days before the shootings.
Littlefield's funeral was held Friday in Midlothian, where he and Kyle were neighbors. After the funeral, Littlefield's relatives said the men's outing with Routh was intended to be therapeutic.
Littlefield's father-in-law, Tom Montgomery, said Kyle regularly took veterans to the shooting range, and that Littlefield often assisted in efforts to help veterans.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata for 2013 sees minor revisions to its front-end design, some new interior and exterior color and trim treatments and a new wind blocker for the retractable-hardtop model. Fog lights are added to the Sport trim while all 6-speed manual-transmission cars come standard with the Suspension Package. The Touring trim is now called Club.
The only significant change to the 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata convertible line is the addition of electronic traction and stability control on all models.
The Mazda Miata has been around for about a quarter-century and, through all that, remains true to the original concept: The 2014 MX-5 Miata is a tidy, affordable, front-engine rear-drive 2-seat roadster with a lively small-displacement engine and snappy performance, razor-sharp handling and a fun-to-drive factor that's off the scale. The Miata has its own racing series (two of them, in fact), has earned universal appeal from all ages and both sexes and is known and admired around the world. Its true competitors are few: Perhaps the Mini Cooper Roadster is on that list. Lots of sports cars are faster or flashier but, now in its third generation, the 2014 MX-5 Miata perfectly maintains that tradition of unmatched affordable and reliable fun behind the wheel.

We always tell our kids to be strong in the face of adversity, make lemonade out of lemons and be resilient. That goes for everyone in this thing we call life – when it deals you a blow, you get up, dust yourself off and move forward. We don't stop playing the game if there's a bad call and we don't shirk our responsibilities just because we don't get our own way.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for our rights.
When the McGuinty Liberals handpicked teachers to be the victims of a salary freeze and benefit reductions, they were essentially using a select group of public employees to help pay for government overspending.
But even though such a ploy might be unfair, two wrongs don't make a right.
Public teachers' unions have told their members to go to the corner and pout, leaving behind those who count on teachers most – their students. So far, strike action in post-secondary schools hasn't created any major problems, but there have been some safety concerns and strike action has only just begun.
Let's hope that these unions show some gumption and continue to target those responsible for Bill 115, instead of innocent students. Protests outside Queen's Park don't work, but making collateral damage out of our kids also flies in the face of what teachers inherently stand for as role models. Our teachers are better than this and they can't tell students to go the extra mile when their own efforts are less than fulsome.

- Product From Temple Allen Industries
Working closely with our European launch customer, Temple Allen has developed a pneumatic low-vibration sanding tool for wing-top sanding operations. An advanced prototype, shown here, incorporates ergonomic handles, a dual-inline sanding head, a vibration-absorbing boom, and an optional fluid delivery system. Production systems will offer, like our EMMA systems, an interchangeable selection of end effectors to accommodate different pad sizes and orbits for task-specific requirements; an integrated dust collection system which turns on with the sander and routes particulate to HEPA-rated 3M Clean Sanding Filter Bags. Temple Allen's new Wing-Top Sander is patent pending, and has been CE-certified for the European market. For more information visit
- Product From Temple Allen Industries
During MRO, helicopter blades are a challenge to sand because the paint thickness on rotor blades varies along the surface (especially considering the frequency of field repairs); because the substrate (and copper grid/ lightning protection) is susceptible to damage, and because the topcoat (particularly CARC paint used in some military applications) is hard enough to survive extreme operating conditions. Temple Allen's solution focuses on finish quality (consistent scratch depth/pattern) and part protection - by holding the sander flat while applying even pressure to the workpiece, operators are able to dial in a desired contact force and thereby establish a predictable material removal rate which, among many advantages, allows different operators to generate the same high-quality results.

- Product From Aircraft Tool Supply Company
Reduce waste in the hangar. Reverse brake bleeding allows you to purge your brake lines quickly and efficiently while reducing fluid loss. Aircraft Tool Supply's ATS Deluxe Brake Bleeder Tank is designed to bleed and re-charge your brake system while at the same time resisting the solvent effects of these fluids. It features a completely reengineered hand operated pressurizing pump that will deliver more pressure with fewer strokes. Aviation customers highly recommend this product. The plastic reservoir will withstand most types of petroleum-based and synthetic aviation brake fluids such as 5605 and Skydrol. For more information visit

We really enjoyed our stay at the Wheeler Hotel. We had the Honeymoon Suite, that had a Jacuzzi in the room and a wonderful view from large windows looking toward the bay. It's a great place to view all that's going on in Wheeler. The staff was especially friendly and knowledgeable about the area, for anything you might want to do or see. We would definitely stay there again!

What is not to love about the "Old Wheeler Hotel"? From the decor and the amazing view to be seen from the "commons" room. It has all the comforts of mom's house with a cozy, romantic twist going back in time. Bright and cheery rooms, match the service provided by the staff, always a smile and to see if we need anything at all. The movie selection is great!! Some oldies but goodies with popcorn if you like. Everything is walking distance, we never drove once after we arrived. I enjoyed watching the elk on the island just as much as the champagne and jacuzzi tub in our quiet cozy room. My hats of to Katie and Raine for a amazing getaway!!

One of the most charming I have stayed. Katie and her staff treat u like family. I went to relax and shop and I was not disappointed. Dining choices weren 't great in town but there are some wonderful restaurants in nearby towns. I will be returning soon.

I enjoyed a lovely stay at the Old Wheeler for my birthday. My boyfriend and I stayed in RM 5. The view was wonderful. The area was quiet and peaceful. Most beaches are just a short drive away and being able to walk around the town was really neat. We even picked up some little antiques at the antique store next door. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. If you stay here you should try to get a room with a tub, very worth the relaxing jets! I had heard this hotel was haunted before I stayed and to my surprise we did encounter a few pleasant surprises. I won't explain to much, you'll have to come stay yourself. This place is more than worth they money. If you are looking for a quiet little relaxing stay please pick the Old Wheeler!

We had not heard of your hotel. We were trying to find a place near Nehalem Bay State Park, where some of our family were camped. Most places were booked & I am glad they were. What we found, when we arrived, was a most pleasant surprise. We have stayed in our share of Bed & Breakfast places & yours is definitely up at the top of the list. You have done a beautiful job with the interior & the exterior, with all of the pots of flowers adds a lot to the whole picture. The view from the breakfast room is great. Being able to look at so many pics of the way things used to be is great fun for me. The room we stayed in was great & most of all .... it was SO clean !! That's the thing that we appreciate the most. I wish we had been staying another night, but, you were booked. Obviously, you & your hotel are liked by MANY !We don't travel a lot, but, when we head your way, again, we will think of you first. ............... Berni Malone

I would highly recomomend staying at the Old Wheeler Hotel. The staff were very welcoing and friendly. The atmosphere was serene and the beautiful antiques were a lovely touch. I felt like I was staying in my own home it was that comfortable. The extra touches like BJ the Bear, the old fashioned telephones and a delicious "continental breakfast" just add to the overall experience. Staying in Wheeler is also a wonderful experience. We drove from Pacific City to Porland and Wheeler was the best town to stay overnight. Highly recommend.

We discovered The Old Wheeler Hotel last year for my birthday getaway. We were very impressed with the charming twenties style of the hotel. The service was so wonderful and we felt right at home. This has become my favorite relaxing getaway.

Charming and quaint. wonderful coastal and bay views. Large central area for reading and relaxing. Historic building.

We stayed only one night, but 'twas a wonderful stay. Very charming decor in keeping with its age. The common room with kitchen amenities was a delightful place for a very nice & quiet breakfast. Our room had the biggest bathroom I've ever had in a hotel. With old, thin walls, ear plugs were recommended and supplied to guests. They worked well, though we didn't find the facility to be noisy.

We've stayed at many hotels and motels along the Pacific coast during the past forty years but only at the Wheeler Hotel have we felt like special guests. Inn-keepers Winston and Maranne have created an environment and ambience few hotels can come close to equaling for the price. A stay here is something we feel everyone will remember with fondness. The hotel is a step back in time, to an age of grace, but with most, if not all, of the modern amenities. We agree wholeheartedly with previous reviews and to add more would be an exercise in redundancy. The vision and energy of Winston and Maranne, and their staff of 'elves', is evident. We look forward to our next visit.

Visiting the Oregon (Oregon Coast, even?)? This should be your place of stay, for a few (or more) days. - I had a pleasant stay and was serviced well. I'll definately become a "repeat" customer!!! Great Job!!! (Winston, Maranne and Housekeeping Staff)

What a pleasant surprise! Starting with the personalized Welcome sign hung by our door upon arrival to the elegantly arranged rooms. Sound proof windows kept outside highway noise to a minimal if not non-existent. The beautifully restored hotel with its antique settings clearly showed a master's touch. The Common Room was a nice relaxing room as well a breakfast area with its elegant silverware and antique china settings - not to mention the fantastic view of the bay. My only regret: we didn't find out about this place sooner!"

Beautiful and quaint, very comfortable and quiet. It felt like I had taken a step back in time. Although the innkeepers were on vacation when I was there, Bobbie was very accommodating and kept the hotel in fine order.

Located right on Hwy 101 between Rockaway Beach and Manzanita, all rooms are on the 2nd floor, some with great views out to the estuary with the ocean beyond. Windows have soundproofing so despite the timber trucks, your stay will be quiet. Wheeler has a population of about 400, but a fine fabric shop, large antique mall, and a few shops all on the same block as the hotel. There's a short walk along the waterfront directly opposite the hotel, small marina and pier, but good walking up the terraced slope behind the town, with great views. There's a small grocery, but head north 8 minutes to Manzanita for meals. Breakfast is provided in a large airy common room with views out to the water and includes fresh fruit, cereal, packaged English muffins/bagels, coffee/tea (available all day). We enjoyed sitting in the room reading, using supplied binoculars to watch the wildlife, etc. at all hours. The hosts have gotten all the details right from an extra small table in the bathroom for toiletries, to low lighting in the hallways, retaining original character of the hotel which dates back to Wheeler's heydey as a logging mecca.

I stayed at the Old Wheeler Inn in late July of 2008. It was the highlight of my trip to Oregon. Superb, comfy bedding in room #1 with and excellent view. I loved that we were greeted by a sign on our door welcoming us by name. Winston , the innkeeper, went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The two common rooms were comfortable and relaxing. The other guests were a joy to visit with. I will be back here as soon as possible. It is an EXCELLENT value for the money. I almost hate to tell others about it for fear it will be booked when I want to visit again!!

I loved this B&B - extended my stay. The owner were so gracious and helpful - can't wait for my next stay! If you like antique stores - one of the best next door!

The Old Wheeler Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. My family and I had a great experience there. The staff is superb. Everything we needed "magically" appeared at our door. We especially appreciated the help we received when we mistakenly left our daugthers treasured blankie. They found it and even offered to mail it right to us! If you ever find yourself in Wheeler, OR, plan to stay at the Old Wheeler Hotel!

charging battery for the first time
How long does the battery needs to be charged for the first time on macbook pro 15.
- Asked by Alam H
- Nov 20, 2009
- Flag as inappropriate (charging battery for the first time)
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Just plug in your ac adapter and use the computer. Ensure the battery if fully charged before using it on battery power and let it drain all the way down before the next charge. From then on, use the battery about once a week till it is all the way down and you are getting those "Save your work now" messages" and let it charge all the way up again. You can use the computer while it is charging. All of this is from the a recent Genius Bar appointment where they told me my battery was failing for lack of use and that it had a very low number of cycles on it and that was not good for it.

Thanks for the birthday wishes :)
Today is our buddy AlleycatMO's birthday, (regardless of what her profile says ;-) ...Please stop by and wish her a happy birthday. thanks!
Nice to meet you.
It won't "leak" more than we spill or burn. Besides, it is a finite resource.
Why should we just stop using fossil fuels. If we didn't use fossil fuels they would leak into our environment anyway and maybe cause worse pollution and damage. If we use it and put in place systems to minimize any damage and to clean it up, that maybe a better solution. Oil that builds up under the oceans, eventually leaks out and can cause pollution. ear ago before drilling, Oil leaked out of the ground and caused pollution. Now that we use that oil, we minimize the leaking oil the oil.
Noticed your avatar on a mutual buddy site and agree with your position on fossil fuels....Lets be buddies
Excellent comment on the GB industry blog with the pro pipeline propaganda message."What we need is to get off of fossil fuels and stop exchanging our future for our present greed! "Kudos cricket48750. Well said ;0}
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year. Thanks for being my friend.
Thank you for being my buddy. May you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year too. Warren :-)
