Great beer selection and a really cool basement game room complete with a full Bocce ball court!
Great atmosphere – Ormsby's is one of my favorite spots. They have a wide array of games(ie-boccee ball and shuffle board) coupled with a very nice selection of beers.
I would highly suggest Ormsby's to anyone who is looking for a fun-filled night in a unique atmosphere.
Just love this place! – Ormsby's is everything a bar should be - even the doorman is supercool and fun! Beer list is exceptional, food is really great - burgers, dogs, pub food etc. each served with a unique twist. Yeah, it's almost always crowded, but if you're a twenty or thirty-something and looking for a date, this is the place to go. I've rarely seen such a group of happy, good-looking, fun-loving people of all races - guys and girls - in one place at the same time. Games in the lower level, more room upstairs. You can sit and eat at the bar, too. Give it a try!
What I Dreamed Happened In Bars As A Child – Ormsby's does a lot of things really well. There is parking right next to the bar. I've never gotten there and been fussed about trying to find a park space.
The door man is always friendly and polite. My mom, a friend, and I ended up there one night and he checked her ID and stamped her hand, much to her horror. But the next time I went back he asked how she was and remembered her name. Very cool right? He's a really nice doorman...despite his giant stature.
The staff is usually pretty nice and helpful. They offer assistance as you try to sort out what you'd like off of their (very nearly pretentious) interesting menu. We ordered a lot of stuff that first night. These are the things I sampled:
Onion Rings with Pot Roast Gravy Dipping Sauce and Sriracha Mayo Dipping Sauce: Great thick onion rings, and the pot roast gravy was so good! So well-seasoned.
Maple Cotton Candy: Cotton Candy for grown-ups. Not sickeningly sweet, but so delicious and sticky.
Bread Pudding: My first time having any. It was really good and different. I admit that I took my leftover bit home and just toasted it. I like my bread pudding more bread less pudding.
I wanted to try the caramel corn, but it never happened. And now it's not on the menu. Which really really makes me sad. Really sad.
On my last vist I told the bartender I was DD and ordered a Shirley Temple, she spruced it up and if I looked at it out of one squinched eye I could almost pretend I was having a real drink.
There's a photobooth in there that I always give my money too. And there are lots of games that being maintained well. So, games, cotton candy, and the smell of beer? It sounds like a day at the fair or something.
I'm not a big fan of the crowd that frequents Ormsby's though. But what should I expect with the Bocce ball court in there?
Not great. – This place was not all it's hyped up to be. The parking is free and close by with plenty of spots. The decor is great with a BIG screen TV. The beer selection was great. On the bad side, our waitress was very rude and talked down to us because we were younger than then average crowd. The bar area got crowded and spilled over into the seated section. Unfortunately this made it difficult to move around from your chair or sit comfortably. There is also no smoking allowed which I hate at a bar so that was a big minus. At the end of the evening a random waitress came by to clear our drinks and took away one full $12 gin and tonic and half of a $10 beer. When we asked the waitress what happened she claimed she didn't throw out the drinks. She argued with us for a while until a manager came over. My friend had to discuss the situation for several minutes before they would replace his drink. Very annoying and unprofessional. Plus the door guy didn't laugh at my joke which was really uncool. Enjoy this place at your own risk!
Unique and Crazy Cool – This place just oozes cool. The people, the concept, the space are all chic -- merely walking inside the place ups your own cool quotient just by association. And the beer selection is great. Try the Tripel Karmeliet -- one taste warrants a Homer Simpson-esque "mmmmm beer." There's a plethora of games to be played or watched, including indoor bocce ball. And while I'm normally more focused on the drink list, I couldn't help but notice the space itself. I'm hyper-observant and tactile, and this place was like a textural playground for my eyes -- stone walls, brick walls, copper counters, wood paneling, exposed pipes, cement floors, huge wood plank stairs. I'm not sure how a place with such an industrial feel also manages to be so warm and inviting, but it does. If only I knew about this place back during football season. I get the feeling it would be an excellent place to watch a game.
Modernized childhood nostalgia at its best – If you were one of those kids that was always super-excited for the carnival to come to town, it's time to get excited all over again. And this carnival, as far as I know, has no plans of leaving town anytime soon.
Ok, so there aren't any tilt-a-whirls or prizes to be won, but the menu features fancier versions of some of your favorite play-time junk foods like hot boiled peanuts, parmesan rosemary popcorn, hand-dipped corn dogs, maple sugar cotton candy, and caramel corn with candied pecans. A solid beer list is one of the only things in Ormsby's that will remind you that you are still a "grown-up"...well, sort of. And if you're the playing it cool type, check out the intriguing selection of sandwiches and salads.
Downstairs is the reason you came - the games. The highlight is the indoor bocce ball court, but you'll have to wait your turn! Write your name on the whiteboard and hang out. Don't worry though - there are plenty of other games to keep you entertained, such as shuffleboard, pool, darts, checkers, and classic video games like Donkey Kong.
Definitely check Ormsby's out, but don't do it on a night when I'm there. I don't like waiting my turn. I want to play games NOW!!!!
Hip Westside bar boasts interesting menu, games to play. – In Short
Take the secret society feeling of Bookhouse, a beverage selection that rivals the Porter and a creative menu that's channels Leon's, then give it an underground space and cram it with a plethora of games to play like backgammon and shuffleboard. That is Ormsby's in a nutshell. Lodged in the basement of White Provisions, it's a bar-crawler paradise. The main level has cozy booths for those seeking a bite 'n' pint, while a center-cut staircase traverses into a windowless basement that serves as a second bar and arcade hall. The menu goes the way of smart-bar-food-you'd-want-to-eat-while-playing-games: there are no entrees but one daily special, sharable bites and interesting sandwiches. Hot dogs get their own section of the menu, fries come with fancy dipping sauces and cotton candy makes for a playful dessert. With this perfect storm of coolness, certainly expect a crowd.

My son is a picky eater. He refuses to try anything new and takes ages to finish his food. Any suggestions?
As parents we know that good nutrition is an important part of children's healthy growth and development. In an effort to get children to eat properly we try all sorts of things, including bribing, threatening and becoming a short order cook. These methods however are stressful, often backfire, and don't really address the issue of having children develop healthy eating habits.
To keep things in perspective it's helpful to remember that once a child starts to eat on his own it's his job to decide how much to eat, and our job to provide regular healthy meals and relaxed time and space in which to eat. Something else to consider is that words have an impact. A child may well be living up to the labels others have given him or her. I never try anything new! This can also apply to a child's perception of food. What appeals to us might not be the same for a child, so instead of saying something tastes great, perhaps comment on some aspect of the food and let the child decide. For example: Here's bright yellow corn.
When children are involved in the preparation of the food they eat they have the opportunity to become more familiar with its look, feel, taste and smell. The more we expose them to different foods in a relaxed way, the more likely they are to try them.
Each child is unique and will approach food and eating differently. By providing a positive environment, opportunities to try a range of healthy foods and setting a good example, we encourage healthy eating patterns that last a lifetime.

5 resumé tricks and when to use them
In the age of digital sophistication, job seekers are employing all kinds of gimmicks on their resumés — from infographics to portraits — to get attention.
While some of these fancy features may give you an edge, it's important to do your research first to make sure your resumé matches the culture of the company you're hoping to impress, according to Cassandra Jackson, instructor in the MBA program for the University of Phoenix Detroit Campus and human resource manager for the city of Detroit. Many of these tricks only work in specific fields and for less-conservative companies.
So how do you know if the gimmick is right for you? Jackson weighs in on five resumé tricks and what to consider before using them:
QR codes
Quick Response (QR) codes are those square bar codes that are showing up on products and ads. The codes can be scanned by smartphones to quickly connect users to a website.
By creating a QR code and placing it on your resumé, you can easily direct potential employers to a web page containing more information about you than they could get on a one-page resumé.
What to consider: The only people who will scan codes are those who know what the codes are and have a smartphone in their hands, so Jackson suggests only using a QR code when applying to a job where employing the latest tech gimmick matters, such as with technology, marketing or social media positions.
Creative presentation
From delivering a pizza-shaped resumé in a box to designing a resumé resembling a Monopoly® board, some applicants are pushing the envelope in terms of visual presentation.
What to consider: "For many companies, the first person reading your resumé is someone in HR, and they may not be impressed by creativity," Jackson says.
She recommends resisting highly inventive resumés unless you're looking for a position in graphic design, advertising or marketing, where ingenuity will be an asset.
Some job applicants include images of themselves, hoping that if they "look the part," they'll connect with an employer.
What to consider: The only time Jackson recommends a photo is if you're hoping to work on camera or in front of the public, when how you present yourself is critical to the work itself.
Graphic visuals
Many job seekers are spicing up resumés with colors, unusual fonts and even infographics. The goal: to add visual interest and reflect sophistication.
What to consider: If you want to make one section of your resumé pop, it's fine to add colors, highlight text or even use an interesting font, as long as it doesn't look cluttered, Jackson says.
She doesn't recommend infographics when applying for positions at large, traditional corporations, where such resumés might be viewed as obstructing the clarity of your work history. "Remember, HR professionals tend to only spend 60 seconds on a resumé."
However, for a tech, sales or marketing job, where the person on the receiving end is accustomed to infographics, your extra effort may be appreciated. But use caution, Jackson advises. "It's got to contain relevant material. Fancy graphics won't get you the job if you don't have the skills."
SEO optimization
"Do research on search engine optimization (SEO) — keywords typically used to describe your specific position," Jackson encourages, "and include those in your resumé to increase the possibility of being seen by an employer."
What to consider: By including the most searched-for keywords on your resumé, you can help employers more easily find you when you post your resumé on job-hunting websites.
One caveat: It's important not to "stuff" your resumé with too many keywords, Jackson says, which can backfire by making content sound stiff.

It's a little hard to find product made in the US right now. I sell a lot of the TOTO that is manufactured in Georgia here in the US.
Typically the:
Drake II
Vespin II
Ultramax II and what seems to be the other product from TOTO with the "II" after the name.
I never cared for the Mansfield Alto. That was a builder grade version that I remove a lot.
Lately around the Seattle area, the new ones seemed to have vanished.
If you go Mansfield, the Maverick would be fine.
Stay away from their pressure assist dual flush though. The Chinese EcoFlush doesn't seem to hold up.

Students joining ensemble on stage
Music: Altius Brass invites high school band students to perform Christmas concert
By: Tammy Rollie
| Posted: Wednesday, Dec 11, 2013 08:23 am
A foothills music teacher won�t be conducting high school band students in this weekend�s Christmas concert, she�ll be sitting alongside them.
Calgary musical ensemble Altius Brass, of which DeWinton resident Kristin Stearn is a member, will be joined by about a dozen music students from the Christ the Redeemer and Foothills School Divisions in a one-of-a-kind performance at the Rotary Performing Arts Centre on Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.
Stearn, who plays the French horn with the 18-member brass ensemble and is a band instructor at the Red Deer Lake School, said directors from high schools across the foothills were asked to select students they thought would be capable of performing with the ensemble.
�We are trying to reach out to some of the younger students,� she said. �We have such a strong connection with really strong music programs in the foothills.�
She said it�s a great mentoring opportunity for the students, as well as a chance for music students to learn what it�s like to perform as part of a professional ensemble.
Stearn said the students were given their music ahead of time to perfect before rehearsing with Altius Brass this week.
�They�ve never even had a rehearsal with us yet,� she said. �They don�t really know what to expect yet, but they�re willing to come out and try. Like real professionals do they are going to practice their music really hard before.�
Foothills Composite School Grade 10 student Sara Hillyer was among those selected to perform.
�It�s just kind of nerve- wracking,� she said. �You don�t want to make any mistakes.�
Despite initial nerves, Hillyer said she is eager to have the opportunity to perform with an ensemble of Altius Brass� caliber.
�I felt that it would be a fun experience to play with a more advanced band,� she said. �It gives me the experience of playing in a bigger band for more people than just parents or friends.
�It kind of gives us a taste of what it�s really like after high school.�
Stearn said the music instructors have faith the selected students will shine at the Christmas concert this weekend.
�We know they can handle it,� she said. �That can happen in real life � less rehearsing together, more coming prepared and ready to go.�
Even more exciting for Stearn is the fact she�ll be performing in her own backyard. She said the ensemble�s performances always take place at various venues in Calgary and this is the first time they�ve branched out beyond the city.
�We are just starting to expand our audience a little bit,� she said. �We are really excited to try out the Rotary Performing Arts Centre. We think it will be a perfect venue.�
Stearn said the ensemble performs a varied repertoire of music and consists of professional brass and percussion performers with a range of backgrounds including orchestra performers, freelance performers and school band instructors.
She added that Altius Brass has a large selection to choose from so the concerts are different from year to year.
�There�s a lot of music in our folder, a lot of music to practice and put together,� she said. �There is lots of stuff out there to choose from. It�s just picking and choosing what we want to do.�
The music is written specifically for brass instruments, Stearn said.
�It�s a specific type of music that isn�t regularly played in a band because a band has woodwinds and strings,� he said. �There�s a distinct sound that goes with it.�
Stearn said that distinct sound is perfect for the Christmas season.
�It�s a lot of recognizable tunes with a lot of different twists,� she said. �Just a lot of the tunes that you would normally hear at Christmas but that are composed for a brass ensemble.�
Stearn said this is one of her favourite times of the year to perform.
�It always puts me in the Christmas spirit,� she said. �I find it�s really festive.�
Tickets to see Altius Brass perform cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased in advance at 403-938-3204 or online at www.okotoksculture.ca

Boston's Chris Kelly out indefinitely with fractured tibia
By Allan Muir
I ran into a member of a Western Conference coaching staff at a pee-wee hockey game last summer. While watching his kid's team whip mine, we got to talking about unrestricted free agents his team might be interested in. "I'll tell you who I really would have liked to get," he said. "Chris Kelly. The guy plays the game the right way."
The Bruins understood that as well and re-signed the versatile forward before he hit the market. Kelly might not get a lot of press (alright, he doesn't get any press), but he has been a glue guy for that team ever since arriving from Ottawa. He competes, he wins faceoffs, he's great on the PK and he can chip in offensively. Guy does it all.
That's why the news today that he was lost indefinitely after fracturing his shinbone in a violent but accidental collision with good friend Chris Neil of the Senators signifies a major loss to the B's. Best-case estimates suggest he could be back in six weeks, which would be just ahead of the playoffs, but there's no guarantee. And being off skates that long? He's going to be a step slow for a bit.
For now, Boston will call on Rich Peverley to center the third line. He performed well in the loss to the Pens last night, winning 10 of 13 draws. Carl Soderberg could help. He'll arrive as soon as his team is eliminated from the Swedish Elite League playoffs. Top prospect Ryan Spooner will also get a look–he was recalled on an emergency basis today.
But just in case they falter, you have to think GM Peter Chiarelli is already looking for some insurance for a line that only recently was rounding into form after a slow start.

Our association made a half hearted effort to organzie a designated "local contact" that owner-managers in the complex could use, but that was before the "one agent - one owner" ammendment.
There are a handful of owners that seem to grasp the huge impact this legisialtion can have, while the majority don't seem to undestand or don't care.
Many owners and industry workers (housekeepers, maintenance, etc) seem to have the attitude that the whole thing will "blow over" or there will be some sinple "reigistration process" we will have to ccomply with when it's all said and done.

Do they realize that "1:1" only forces the "on-island emergency contact" to be in line with HRS 467-2 "caretaker" exception, thus negating the owner-managed right, but still leaving the licenced agent option?
The 1:1 wording is just to force us to the "licenced agent" option, as we'd never be able to handle a W2-status employee for one small condo.
Dear Islandadventures:
I posted my response to that blog here, yesterday. Here it is again; feel free to send it to your HOA and ask them to send out to your neighbours; I addressed US Constitutional and NAFTA angles:
Adam Leamy
Victoria, BC
A key part of any policy discussion is always the facts, and getting them right; otherwise, discussions and premises for action are off to a bad start. Your comment in respect of Canada and Canadians, "Just when you thought that real state [sic] law could not get more complex, we suddenly find ourselves dealing with international trade agreements" is illustrative in precisely this way.
In fact, the agreement you reference between the US, Mexico and Canada is the North American Free Trade Agreement, not the "Fair" trade agreement as you incorrectly identified it. Moreover, NAFTA has been in effect since January 1, 1994. In removing most barriers to trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, it has been shaping and creating cross-border investment opportunities between the partner countries for close to 20 years now.
NAFTA offers provisions and protections for Americans, Mexicans, and Canadians engaging in cross-border trade. One of the key provisions for Americans, Mexicans, and Canadians — and you can easily find this on your US Trade Representative's website — is "National Treatment." In fact, NAFTA spells out the provisions and protections offered under "national Treatment" quite clearly, saying that the US, Mexico, and Canada, and their respective states or provinces:
. . . shall accord to investors of another Party, or investments of investors of another Party, treatment no less favorable than that it accords, in like circumstances, to its own investors with respect to the establishment, acquisition, expansion, management, conduct, operation, and sale or other disposition of investments . . . . The treatment accorded by a Party means, with respect to a state or province, treatment no less favorable than the most favorable treatment accorded, in like circumstances, by that state or province to investors, and to investments of investors, of the Party of which it forms a part.
The bill you reference — and others like it this legislative session — holds a different standard for on-Island owners of transient accommodations than it does for off-Island owners of transient accommodations, going so far as to dictate an operating standard for off-Island owners that it does not prescribe for on-Island owners. For Canadian cross-border investors so targeted this way, NAFTA is clear: Canadian cross-border investors are to receive from the State of Hawaii (or any state) "treatment no less favorable than the most favorable treatment accorded," which would be the treatment the bill affords to on-Island owners of transient accommodation. If passed, this bill and those like it, will go to the dispute-resolution process agreed to by the US, Canada, and Mexico, where they will fail, and cash-strapped Hawaii will be assessed monetary penalties; that's just the way NAFTA was designed to work by the US, Canada and Mexico, almost two decades ago.
By my count, I have now made five separate acts of testimony to the Hawaii Legislature on various bills related to transient accommodation, supplementary letters notwithstanding. If you take a moment to visit the State of Hawaii Legislature webpage, you'll be able to see the testimony submitted by those opposed to the bill. There are hundreds of pages of testimony in opposition. Americans cite many reasons to oppose the bill, including infringement on the four Hawaii Counties' Home Rule Powers, and its application of invasion of privacy, fraud, theft and other burdens and liabilities on those it targets. They also cite its affronts to the Privileges and Immunities Clause, the Equal Protection Clause, and the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. Hmm, just when you thought that real estate law could not get more complex, we suddenly find ourselves dealing with two-decade old international trade agreements, and that tired old chestnut, the US Constitution.
And in those hundreds of pages of testimony, nowhere was there a statement by a Canadian, an American, or any other investor in Hawaii that they don't want to pay TAT, as your note states. In fact, the common statement was that if the State of Hawaii truly wanted to ensure tax compliance, and consumer protection via the amended requirements for an on-Island contact, it could easily do so through a bill that pursued that aim but upheld US Constitution and NAFTA protections at the same time. Americans and Canadians were united on this front: The State's approach seems not at all interested in any of those points; if it were, there would be a much better bill before the Legislature.
Again, thank you for your note on the subject matter. With the facts now corrected, your assessment of the issues advanced by Canadians as "amusing" holds only as an unkindness.
And therein lies another sad consequence of this Legislative session — it has taken friendships presumed to be strong and enduring and revealed them to be quite the opposite.
A shame, really.
I have posted this before, but will post again for clarity. This an except from an e-mail from Robert Lightbourn, the president of the Maui Board of Realtors (aka RAM). The subject pertained to whether RAM supports mandated Property Managers for all TVR's:
The Government Affairs Committee and the RAM Board of Directors both voted unanimously in opposition to the bill, as did everyone at the Haiku Caravan last Thursday. There are some RAM members who support the bill. They appear to be the property managers, though not all property managers support it. I believe that the Hawaii Association of Realtors (HAR) does not support the bill either. It's being touted as a Realtor Bill because it was initiated by a property manager on the Big Island, who is a Realtor.
Having said that, the manipulation of these bills has been so convulted and the wording so vague and indecipherable that most casual observer's don't even know what the issues are anymore.
I think the Hawaii Legislature has suceeded in the old credo..."If you can blind them with your brilliance then baffle them with your bull****"
Some neighborhood groups support the bills because they feel it will be a
way to get rid of illegal TVRs. And this is a particular problem in HNL.
But the legislature needs to separate the many issues and deal with them
separately rather than aiming all artillery at all rental property owners.
RBOAA has already gone on record and stated that owners should abide by all
regulations and part of their function is to educate owners on the regs.
What "inaccurate article" are people talking about and where can we read it?
Here is the article, and it was copied from RAM (see comment at top of article)
and you can submit a complaint here:
You rent out that "broad brush" or reserve it for yourself and select legislators??? "It seems to me the un-permitted vacation rentals are hurting the reputation of all vacation rentals in Hawaii. I believe we should support the state and the local people in their efforts to identify these owners who are the bad guys and then leave all of us who are following the law alone. " I still suspect that as previously posted, most of the bad apples are running mini hotels in crammed residential areas, further cramming maximum bodies and vehicles where they shouldn't be. Not quite the same as renting a 3/2 located on a half acre which might otherwise be a vacant house attracting other nefarious activity.
Not all vacatiion rentals are located in areas specifically zoned for same, but that doesn"t mean they are all illegal, especially if there is not a permitting process any more than rental property for long term. This doesn't mean those VR aren't following the rest of the laws including payment of all taxes, including GE/TAT. VR in Hawaii is much more that condos in certain areas, although they may represent a greater share of the horror stories the PMs are touting. If a vacationer has a problem in the middle of Puna, he just can't run down the hall and complain to someone at the desk or the next door neighbor, most likely the only contacts were provided by the owner.
Different counties have different rules. The Oahu situation and that group have been mentioned way early in these threads. That group, as well as other resident owners actively fought these issues with testimony etc. Sadly, it appears RBOAA has defined themselves as the voice of the non resident owner, even to the point of alienating previously supportive resident owners. Initially, I had very high hopes that RBOAA was going to come together as a unified voice for all VR of all types regardless of location or ownership.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Hawaii landlord law defines who can be an owner's agent. Only a licensed realtor can serve more than one owner. This law existed when we bought our condo in 2009. The current legislation doesn't change that.
RBOAA has always had the intention to unify all vacation rentals. JWE mistated the requirements of membership.
"Membership requirements: Property Ownership in the Hawaiian Islands, comply with State and County Taxing Aurthority Laws"
No one should have a problem with this requirement. It would not serve RBOAA well to have members who are not paying their taxes.
The counties issues with illegal TVR's are not on RBOAA's agenda. There are different organizations on their respective islands dealing with these issues that are both for and against illegal TVRs.
Alicia Hopkins, President
correct. It does not make any sense but it does exist. I suspect that
their theory is only property mangers or realtors are competent to serve
more than one owner since it is such an incredibly difficult job. (tongue
in cheek)
If RBOAA had existed when it was proposed it would have been fought
Current proposed legislation makes it easier for property managers to try to
police web sites to make certain that local contacts do not serve more than
one owner.

I do not beleive that's correct. HRS 467 defines who can manage a property (section 2 says an owner can manage), while the landlord-tenant law, HRS 521, does not define an agent. It does say, under the heading "Rental Agreement, disclosure", it does require us to tell our guests of a local contact:
(f) Any owner or landlord who resides without the State or on another island from where the rental unit is located shall designate on the written rental agreement an agent residing on the same island where the unit is located to act in the owner's or landlord's behalf. In the case of an oral rental agreement, the information shall be supplied to the tenant, on demand, in a written statement.
But that's just an "agent", not a "licensed real estate agent". Since they don't define agent anywhere in HRS 521 (and the landlord-tenant law has nothing to do with real estate agents), it just has the regular meaning "somebody who represents somebody else". PM's will say: "no, that means you need to hire us by law already", but they are wrong... it says nothing of the sort.
The new law changes that subsection f to the basic definition of caretaker (see HRS 467 "caretaker" definition), which then negates the exception for "owner-managed" given in HRS 467.

JFK - under the microscope
High-profile runway resurfacing tests advanced milling control technology
On June 28, New York's JFK International Airport reopened the Northeast's longest and busiest landing strip, the 'Bay Runway' ( 13R-31L) It is the nation's third-longest at 14,572 feet, and was resurfaced with an 18-inch layer of concrete to yield an expected maintenance savings of $500 million over an expected 40-year life span, compared with an anticipated eight-year asphalt life span. Because JFK is a key
component in the nation's commercial air-traffic system, the first phase of the $376.3 million project was put on a fast-track schedule of 120 days, with overall completion due in late 2011. Here's a look at how the project came together.
In addition to financing from the owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the project received $73 million in Federal Aviation Administration and $15 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding.
Milling, grading, and paving subcontractor Intercounty Paving Associates, LLC of Hicksville, NY kept the first milling phase of the first phase on track by simultaneously utilizing a combination laser-Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) on multiple Roadtec RX-900 cold planers.
Preventing chronic delays
JFK has traditionally experienced problems with delays. According to U.S. DOT, it ranked 28th out of 31 major airports in on-time performance in 2009. The Bay runway is a key component of JFK's infrastructure, handling about one-third of its annual operations and more than half of all departures, to the tune of about 440,000 flights and 48 million passengers in 2008.
To address the chronic delays, the general contractor, Sylmar, CA-based Tutor Perini, was awarded a $204 million contract to widen the runway from 150 to 200 feet to allow for new delay-reduction taxiways, among the improvements. The new shoulders along either side of the widened runway are 50 feet wide and sit adjacent to 30-foot-wide erosion pavement.
The runway will be the first at JFK to accommodate the massive new Airbus A-380 and also serve as a backup landing spot for the space shuttle. The taxiways have high-speed exits for landing aircraft, holding pads to enable planes to bypass those held on the tarmac, and a new drainage system; the sum total of the changes are designed to improve aircraft queuing and allow quicker departures and easier access between taxiways and terminal gates. According to the Port Authority, the improvements will reduce future delays by an estimated 10,500 hours.
Part of the Bay Runway had to remain open to traffic so that planes could taxi across the open portion between the terminals and the other runways. After the first phase, about 11,000 feet of the runway was to be reopened and the remaining 4,000 feet-plus were to be resurfaced in subsequent stages.
Procedural changes
Preparations began during night closures the month before the start date. Tutor Perini surveyors localized the jobsite using Intercounty's GR-3 base station from Topcon Positioning Systems. The GR-3's one-watt UHF radio left "dead zones" at both ends of the runway, typical in radio signal-dense airfield environments. So the surveyors set up Topcon's 35-watt external radio, allowing them to position the base station along the runway, near the middle of the jobsite, providing full radio coverage without interference from voice traffic.
Also complicating matters were several unseasonably large snowfalls during February. Once control points were located, they had to be cleared before the shots could be taken and drifting snow routinely refilled the control point holes. These weather conditions would have made the conventional method of gridding and marking out the runway in time for early March milling difficult to impossible, making it clear that an alternative method of elevation control would be beneficial.
Even when construction scheduling is designed to minimize the effects of adverse weather, a few snags are inevitable. Despite the fact that Intercounty made adjustments on the Roadtecs to allow for unexpected issues with the lasers, the system turned out to be invaluable for milling efficiency.

Restaurant employees help police catch alleged purse snatcher
The two employees at Margaritas, located at 1037 Elm St., told police they saw the patron place his jacket over a co-worker's purse, which was hanging on the back of a chair in the bar area. The suspect then walked out of the restaurant with the purse hidden inside the jacket, police said.
With the two employees chasing him, the thief tossed the purse behind Bridge Street Cafe and kept running, police said. The employees flagged down Officer Austin Goodman, who picked up the pursuit. The thief only stopped when Goodman threatened to use a stun gun on him, police said.
About the same time, other patrolmen were at The Farm Bar and Grille at 1181 Elm St. where a similar theft occurred a short time before Davis' arrest, police said. Employees recovered that purse in a nearby trash can. It was only missing a debit card.
A review of The Farm Bar's video surveillance revealed the same man stealing a purse in the same way.
Police charged Steven Davis, 41, of Manchester, with two counts of theft, both misdemeanors, and violation of bail conditions. He also was placed on 72-hour hold by probation.
Davis pleaded innocent to the misdemeanors Thursday in 9th Circuit District Court. A status hearing on those charges is set for May 15.
Davis was held without bail pending a bail revocation hearing Friday.

Dolphins coaches reportedly asked Richie Incognito to toughen Jonathan Martin up
According to at least two team sources who have spoken to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins coaches told offensive guard Richie Incognito to "toughen up" teammate Jonathan Martin after Martin missed a voluntary workout in the spring. The team sources told the Sun Sentinel that Incognito, who has been suspended indefinitely after he was accused of using threatening and racially incendiary language against Martin, took the orders too far.
A team spokesperson declined comment when asked by the paper about the accusations, saying that the Dolphins are complying fully with the NFL's current investigation into the team's culture. In a voicemail to Martin, Incognito called Martin a "half-n—–," threatened to kill him, and said that he would slap Martin's mother across the face.
Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post wrote on Wednesday that he's heard the same thing from team sources, adding that the idea was to bring Martin "into the circle."
"[Dolphins center Mike] Pouncey and Incognito, they talk to each other that way — redneck, [n-word], it doesn't bother the two of them. It's how they communicate," a source told Abramson. "They bond with one another."
Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin, according to sources, told his veterans to "cut out" the rookie hazing, but he did not police what was going on between Incognito and Martin. Martin left the team last week after a lunchroom prank in which Martin was asked to join his linemates at the table, and his teammates then got up and left the table.
"In all my discussions with Jonathan and members of his family, at no time were there any accusations or allegations of misconduct by any members of this team or organization," Philbin said on Monday. "Later on Sunday, we were contacted by one of his representatives where they in fact had some concerns over player conduct that had occurred. We immediately took those concerns very, very seriously … These players when they walk in this door they feel like they have the best medical care, the best strength and conditioning care, the best coaching, the best fields to practice on, the best technology and the best classrooms to learn in. That's very important to me. I will tell you if the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is. I have that obligation to the players that I coach on a daily basis, and I will do that. Any questions on that?"
There have been many, and if this report is true, there will be more than ever. Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports was recently told by a former Dolphins offensive lineman that the team's coaches encouraged hazing, with the thought that it would toughen the players up.
Those coaches will of course say that they never expected things to escalate to this degree, but given Incognito's history of aggressive behavior, they'll have to take a lot of responsibility for this.
If the assistant coaches and/or Philbin himself were involved with this foolish mess either explicitly or implicitly, they need to be fired along with the other miscreants in the locker room as well as in the executive suite.
I think 2 more points to the Dolphins in the Inflammatory Rankings (they are in 1st place). What do you think?
I think the players know more about what happened in that locker room then anyone here. I am willing to let their opinions be mine because they know the facts and we do not. Right now most of the players are lining up behind Incognito and not Martin. Now I am not saying I condone hazing or that kind of talk but we do not know what went down between those guys. I think there is a lot more to this and the politically correct people ought to stfu.
Interesting how all the "teammates" and other players suggesting Martin should "be a man" are sticking up for a guy whose behavior bears a striking resemblance to that of a junior high school delinquent.
Nice VPL on Martin. Yea :).
The Generation Kill series had some pretty explicit and racial language that's used in the Marine Corps. Wonder if this is the same kind of thing?
Hey Philbin, as far as I'm concerned after your news conference today you are absolutely guilty of asking for Martin to be toughened up.
One of the major reasons I didn't go back to play for my college team after taking time off for monetary reasons was their history of hazing and what it entailed. Most of my friends were on the team and gave explicit details. Now, I am talking more than 20 years ago. In conversations with my son's former HS coach (my son is now playing college FB) who also went to my university several years after me, but started college in his early 20s, remembered it too. In his case however, being a man as a freshman instead of a boy, he refused and offered to go outside with anyone that took exception to his decision. No one did. As a coach now himself he has never allowed this to even be considered.
To hear that coaches would consider this a method of toughening someone up is a mind set of ignorance. I actually have met plenty of men (and boys) who had incredible physical strength and toughness but could also be bent and broken with emotional bullying and peer pressure. One is not indicative of the other and as your math teacher would have said, these are mutually exclusive. These coaches have obviously confused the two. Mean and tough are NOT perfect synonyms.
Let's wait until all the facts are in.
I also had no idea that telling a teammate that you will defecate in his mouth and slap his mother would "toughen him up" either. Learn something new everyday.
So calling each other "ni--er" and "redneck" helps bond two teammates? Damn, I had no idea.
While skill players in the NFL may love their job for reasons of glory and money, the grunt players in the trenches are largely anonymous if they perform their job decently. Except for the money, it is largely a thankless job that has long term adverse effects on personal health and safety. Keeping them motivated to sacrifice their bodies - and potentially injuring other players - must be as difficult as keeping otherwise peaceful soldiers motivated to keep killing other humans. The tasks are not the same, but my point is that maintaining violent motivation in the trenches for the good of the organization often takes extremes of language and insults. Some people respond positively to negative reinforcement, while others do not.
Did you order the code RED?!!!
The coaches who suggested this need to be terminated with cause, right now. Today. They've disgraced the entire league. It's offensive reading the comments from the neanderthals, hands on their 'man zone' no doubt, saying 'this is how men act', or 'it's a guy thing'. It is not. It is how juveniles act. It is how immature children act. And every responsible adult is disgusted with it. The league is becoming a laughingstock. And this is the time to take a real stand.
Here's your NFL. What a deranged, Neanderthal culture.
match made in heaven or hell ... a bully and a sensitive guy.
I said this last week when Incognito was suspended...that was the first step. There is absolutely no way the coaching staff didn't know what was going on and condone it. If I was the owner, the entire staff would be relieved and we would forfeit the rest of the games. A team must act like a team.
Martin is a wuss. This is why the youth these days is a bunch of coddled morons that can't handle adversity. Their first reaction is to tattle or cry rather than deal with the problem head on and earn respect that comes with time. This is an example of how times have changed and everybody is way too sensitive about everything.
Of course, there's no conflict of interest there. Given that the entire O-Line participated in the vicious "prank" that set this off: Come sit with us, then get up and walk away.
They're all going to be totally honest. Suuuuure.
@Schmoogalicious Often delinquents stick together!...
@djp9 Agree "mean" describes how you treat others, "tough" how you expect yourself to respond to difficulties.
As a math teacher, I must challenge your understanding of "mutual exclusivity". Strength, toughness, and many other physical/psychological characteristics certainly can and do simultaneously occupy any individual personality (in varying combination of dominant or recessive quantity) and thus are, by definition, NOT mutually exclusive. The degree of independence between the traits within a personality falls in the domain of psychology – and no multivariant calculus yet exists to deal with it.
Not meaning to be pedantic, but your comment raised the topic, and stated it incorrectly. I hope you take my comment as an elucidatory attempt, not a derogatory attack.
@djp9 I remember pledging for a fraternity in college and being a victim of hazing. One of the fraternity brothers(?) hit me with a paddle. Just once, because I told him that if he hit me again, it would be the LAST time he hit anyone. He did not hit me again. Later that year we became friends and I even let him borrow a suit of mine. Both of us were economically challenged and had to share what little we had. However, I never joined the fraternity, and while I recognize the positives of fraternity membership, I still have somewhat negative feeling towards fraternity that feel hazing/abuse is necessary to attract desirable members. I feel the opposite is true!
In a closed system, with a psycho-"leader" in charge, even the strongest, mentally toughest person can break.
Ironically, because he's trying to be a good team guy by knuckling under to fit in and not make trouble. Which is the signal for monsters to "pile on."
@salvaje50 Doing that could get you killed!
@salvaje50 Old school Marine Drill Sergants used to say much worse to toughen soldiers up.
@salvaje50 We can't expect wimps indoctrinated in PCspeak to understand a great many aspects of communication – some of which transcend choice of vocabulary or nonverbal expression of attitude.
In my experience, 'having no idea' is several steps down the ladder from making uniformed choices among a more or less varied choice of several available ideas.
@Rickapolis AMEN!...
@Rickapolis Well said. Stories like this, and some of the responses to them (just read some of these comments, oh my), go far in reminding us that there are still pervasive, fundamental issues in our culture regarding our treatment of each other. Actually rather disturbing seeing how some people can come up with utterly illogical, inapplicable 'justification' for this behavior and any and all arguments against it.
@M20 Absolutely, M20. A disgrace. I used the same description in my comment before I saw yours. It's pathetic.
@Heidi damn. you beat me to it. OH well, that jokes going to get made 50 times this week. haha.
@Bahia A bully like Incognito should be careful...he may end up in "HELL" sooner than later!
@me1 Just like in politics, far too often, money talks and principles are left in the dust...or, in this case,...on the turf.
@me1 This is why kids these days grow up unable to handle difficult situations. People overreact to things they dont understand because of the media. Richie Incognito was harsh but Martin really didn't fit into the team. A team is built on trust and working with people you trust. Honestly if i was fighting in the trenches or going against a defensive linemen trying to rip my qbs head off, I'd rather have Richie on my team than a wuss like Martin.
@me1 Absolutely no way that the NFL would allow that and no way the organization would want to. It is a business that wants to make money. Talk about an unfair competitive advantage to the rest of the teams scheduled to play the dolphins....extra bye week with automatic win.
@rich426 You really think that in today's day and age that taking death threats seriously is being "way too sensitive"? How would you react if a co-worker threatened you physically, or threatened a member of your family?
And hazing happens to be ILLEGAL!! NFL locker rooms are not exceptions under the law.
@rich426 You sure it isn't FDRJFK/LBJ/Carter/Clinton/Soetero's fault ?
You appear from nowhere, and make a few comments -- so far, just two -- virulently anti-Martin.
The Richie I. fan club, spamming-commenter division, in full swing!
@NateFrawley @salvaje50 So we're dealing life/death issues in Pro Ball??
And Paris Island had shocking levels of suicide.
Good leaders don't have to destroy people to build a team.
@Snow_Veil @Rickapolis I'm not so much disturbed as disappointed when apparently educated people resort to distortion in order to promote their own control of how every one should speak or act.
Your bullying by ridicule of anyone who might have an individual opinion is actually very little different than what occurs in locker rooms or jr hi hallways..
@rich426 @me1 So "harsh" is how you describe threats to a teammate's life? May I remind you that hazing and threats are not only the wrong way to build a team, they are also illegal. And coaches who tolerate such a workplace atmosphere are liable under the law. This IS going to end up in court, and the Dolphins and the NFL had better realize that just because this happens in a locker room or during training camp will NOT be an adequate defense before the law.
It seems to me that it is the coaching staff's job to evaluate not only a player's physical condition, in deciding whether he can do his job, but also his psychological condition. Some may have the physical talent, but not the psychological ability. The answer is to either find ways of helping the player develop the ability to cope with the difficulty of playing in the NFL, or decide to find another player. It is NOT to allow bullying and hazing as ways of "toughening" up a player. The problem I have is that according to these same coaches evaluations, Martin was doing his job. So why the need to "toughen him up" or tolerate the hazing??
Now we may not know what EXACTLY what happened in this locker room, but the evidence of the texts and voicemails is pretty strong. Strong enough to indicate that laws were broken.
Someone mentioned in an earlier comment that Tony Dungy banned all such practices as hazing, or other similar methods or approaches to building a team. And his teams were quite successful without any of that.
@MidwestGolfFan @rich426 ha not really a richie i fanclub. Just more anti-Martin and what our society is becoming. Weak and overly sensitive. Whatever happened to survival of the fittest. Kids getting trophies for participating is just a prime example of everyone being forced to be liked and fit in. Promotes weakness
@Mech @MidwestGolfFan @NateFrawley @salvaje50
Your blitheness about those boot camp suicides is monstrous. Apparently, they don't count as human beings because they couldn't hack it at "the Island."
They were struggling to make it -- but were failing. Real leaders would have known it was hopeless, and weeded them out before they killed themselves. Instead, screaming psychopaths in Smokey the Bear hats drove them to self-destruction, with the blessing of guys like you.
Was it used as a morale-builder? He was weak, he killed himself, and now that he's dead, this unit is stronger!?
There were many good things about the "Old Corps." The sociopathic brutality of you describe was not one of them.
@ianlinross @MidwestGolfFan @NateFrawley @salvaje50 Are you implying an NFL roster is only allowed three or fewer Type(other than A) personnel ?
@MidwestGolfFan @NateFrawley @salvaje50 As a retired combat decorated Marine I would tell you the suicide rate was not high, but,,,, I would rather lose them at the Island then lose ten more fine Marines in combat because that one man failed.
@MidwestGolfFan @NateFrawley @salvaje50 If the general public knew what goes on in a professional locker room, especially with 50-some Type A personalities on a roster, they would be shocked. On some teams, there's probably an Animal House mentality that's part of the culture.
@rich426 @MidwestGolfFan Sparta and Athens ... which one survived? "Survival of the fittest" applies to animals, not humans. I'll take "overly" sensitive over lacking in sensitivity. And, finally, I welcome a world where we are "forced" (?) to like people. Certainly not thrilled with how you would suggest today's kids be "forced" to toughen up.
Apples and oranges.
"Participation trophies" are bad.
What was Martin supposed to do? Go to team leaders? Incognito was one of them, officially appointed by management. Go to the coaches? They told Incognito to go after Martin. He was trapped and he exploded. That's neither cowardice nor weakness -- it's brutalization.
@rich426 @MidwestGolfFan Disgusting.
@rich426 @MidwestGolfFan "Whatever happened to survival of the fittest?" Are you kidding? You are suggesting that at some point that was promoted as a goal for human interaction?

I was very happy when it turned out I was not the only virgin at the sex toy party I went to last night.
An American went to live in the Shetland Islands. He bought a little croft house in the middle of nowhere. He was there for three months and no one came near him. One day there was a knock on his door. He opened the door and he opened the door in the howling gale and there stood a 6'4" Shetlander with a dirty old sweater and a huge beard and he says "I'm here ty welcome you to the Shetland Islands".
American: "Hello. It's nice to see you."
Shetlander: "I'm here ty invite thee ty a party."
American: "Well I've been here for three months on my own. I hadn't seen a soul. So I'd be really delighted to come to a party."
Shetlander: "But I have ta warn ya, it'll be a wild Shetland party - There's going ta be drinkin'."
American:"Well I like a little drop of scotch now and again. I can hold my own with the best of em for drinkin'."
Shetlander: "... And there's goin ta be wild Shetland dancin'..."
American: "Well actually when I was in college I was considered very light on my feet."
Shetlander: "... There's goin ta be dancin' - wild, hairy-arsed Shetland dancin'... "
American: "Well, I told ya I was light on my feet the last time...."
Shetlander: "... There's goin ta be a fight - there's aaaallllways a fight..."
American: "Well, actually, when I was in the military, I was the unit boxing champion so I can hold my own."
Shetlander: "... and then there'll be sex - WILD Shetland sex..."
American:"Well I've been here for three months - I haven't seen a soul. So a little of that wouldn't be out of the question either. So what should I wear?"
And the Shetlander says "Oh, just you come as ye are. There's just going to be you and me."

The first episode of Thundercats doesn't even make sense. Why would Lion-O grow but WilyKit and WilyKat stay small? Why does Jaga tell Lion-o that the sword will never respond to a command but then later tell him to command the sword to come to him? also why does he have to say "thunder thunder thunder cats ho" before it works, it it works of its own free will? Why weren't there any people on the flagship? There entire planet was exploding and they had that GIANT ship and only 4 crewmembers, three children and a pet? The room with the sword in it alone could have carried like 60 people comfortably. Why is the Eye of Thundera able to penetrate stone but it can't penetrate tar? If berbils are robot why do they eat? it's all dumb, fun to watch on Youtube though.

On March 11, 2011, a devastating magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit the coast of northeastern Japan, triggering a tsunami that sent waves as far as six miles inland.
On the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the disaster, "Moving Forward: Life After the Great East Japan Earthquake," on display at the Fowler Museum at UCLA from March 4 through April 15, commemorates the victims and the struggles of the survivors and highlights the reconstruction and recovery efforts.
Featuring a series of large-scale photographs, short articles and videos, the exhibition focuses on the stories of those recovering in the Tohoku region, which was hardest hit by the disaster, and how the people of Japan are dealing with this difficult situation and helping one another in their day-to-day lives.
Arresting pictures taken by photographers for the local newspaper, The Kahoku Shimpo, in the hours and days following the quake and tsunami show the unprecedented destruction in the region. In one, a man and boy walk their bikes through the tangled mass that was once Otsuchi City. In another, a woman carries an elderly lady on her back as they head out of the now-unrecognizable city of Minami-Sanriku-cho. Yet other images captured in the days and months that followed reveal the hope and resilience of the people in this region and the recovery efforts that are now underway.
Several short articles excerpted from The Kahoku Shimpo are reproduced on graphic panels to offer a sampling of astounding stories: an emergency broadcaster who stayed at her microphone to broadcast evacuation warnings yet fled too late herself and perished; "memory search parties" that have sprung up to reunite loved ones with their keepsakes; and hundreds of thousands of volunteers from across Japan who have come to clear streets thick with rubble and sludge.
The following symposium is planned in conjunction with the exhibition and the anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami:
Saturday, March 10
1:30–3:30 p.m.
'Moving Forward: Life After the Great East Japan Earthquake'
A reception will follow the symposium. The symposium will include the following participants:

Older is a specialist in disaster risk-reduction and emergency preparedness at Save the Children.
Hideya Terashima
"Covering the Disaster"

Neighborhoods: Northeast, Tenderloin
Wonderful food – Amaaaaaaaaaaazing food
love all the soups they offer, there egg plant is "to DRIVE for"
Highly recommended
great americanized thai – been goin here since i came to SF 5yrs ago and its still my favorite thai place. Cheap, tasty, nice ppl. Love their soups!
An Awful Place To Eat – This place is the worst customer service place I have ever been. It took 10 minutes to get a glass of water. The staffers were not friendly. The cashier tried to keep the change when I paid my bill. If I could give it a negative rating I would have.
Great late night grub! – This is a great place to grab a quick pre-show dinner, or a late night snack. My favorite here is the Pad-see-ew, and although I'm not vegetarian, their vegetarian version of it tastes great with fried tofu and Chinese broccoli. Their crab fried rice is pretty good and so are some of their appetizers, although I would say their pad thai, duck noodle soup, along with seafood noodle soup is just okay. They have some yummy hot tea as well at no extra charge!
Below average Pad Thai did not make a good first impression... – I ordered the Pad Thai to go among a busy crowd, I guess the options in the downtown area are as slim as they say it is. I received my order in about 15min. The waitress took the bills I gave her and did not hesitate to move on to her next task. I was planning to tip, but I would have at least received the courtesy of change. The Pad Thai was AVERAGE at best. The thin noodles (with very little of everything else - 3 shrimp off to the side with uncooked sprouts) were medium to mild spicy. one napkin and a fork came in the bag. I give the restaurant a 3 because as a American Thai restaurant I would expect higher quality. The customer service was shabby. Price is normal, cheap for the area. I wish I had gone to Jamba Juice or the other restaurant on 16th which my co-worker pointed out. Happy eating people.
A no-frills mini-chain serving standard Thai fare to neighborhood crowds. – In Short
With spare, comfortable dining rooms and expansive Thai menus, this local chain has developed a loyal clientele. Popular dishes--pad thai, sour tom yum gai soup, satay and spring rolls--are offered along with a list of more elaborate plates, such as stir-fried glass noodle with chicken or seafood. Fresh rice noodle soups are seasoned with cilantro, onions and chili paste, and stocked with vegetables and beef, seafood or roasted duck.
Great value, open late!! – my fave is the Kao Gra Prow w/ ckhn - delicious. if you need a late nite bite to eat, this should be the place to come to. order a soup (Guay Tiew Gai), Larb & maybe Som Tum and you should be good to go. try to make it before the bars close, place gets packed. food is served fast and hot! and the servers are cute Thai girls.
Great Pad Thai – I think the best thing on the menu is No.18 the Pad Thai, ask for it vegitarian.
For the bold demand extra spicey.
Fried egg rolls & No.17 w/ground chicken – 'nuff said.
Word of caution: the crushed red pepper on the tables is not your garden variety pizza-joint mild red pepper. You've been warned.
as a vegetarian – Everything that souned good had meat- the vegi selection is blan and not worth going back for. The waitress was very friendly and attentive and the portions were ample. But the restaurant is really nothing special if they can't eat the creative meat dishes.
