At Terminal 1 we have thought for a while about encorporating either a Winter Series Trials event, an outdoor trials area or somethingelse for the small geared wheelers that would be exciting, dynamic and alot of fun!
We teamed up with Pheonix Riders Co do see what our park had to offer the Trials Bike scene - it seemed to discover that the skatepark layout plus its silly amount of moveable sub boxes = ALOT OF FUN!
Please add us on Facebook - Terminal1 BMX Skate Park
Follow us on Twitter - T1 Park
When starting our business we wanted an outdoor trials area and searched for a bike company to work with us. we struggled with time and concentrated on our bmx, skate and scoot clients first.... but now
We would really love to make a winter series tournament or evening a couple of events happen this year at Terminal 1. Indoor facilitys like ours offer such a unique opportunity to this soprt and by working together we can make more of these events happen and help the future of the sport grow in more areas urban and rural. We are looking for a trials bike brand / trials company to help us get the ball rolling asap. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss making it happen.

Free Pretzels Friday!
The Philly Pretzel Factory store in Levittown will be giving away free soft pretzels to all of its customers Friday in honor of National Pretzel Day.
Sometimes it pays to be the early bird. Take Friday for instance. The Philly Soft Pretzel Factory store in Levittown is giving away free pretzels all day to celebrate National Pretzel Day. But, if you're one of the first 100 in the door of the 4216 Woodbourne Road location, you will receive a card for one free pretzel each day for the month of May. Last year, Manager Rich Voroscak said the store gave away 450 soft pretzels on the annual day for pretzels, which is celebrated every April 26. This year, he said he's shooting to give away 500 or 550. So, what do all these extra pretzels mean for the people making them? Perhaps just a little more hustling on Friday, Voroscak said. "Either way they have to come in at 3 o'clock in the morning…

Sony Australia Releases Camera Ads Mocking DSLR Snobs
Sony Australia Releases Camera Ads Mocking DSLR Snobs
Mirrorless system cameras are targeted at consumers who need something lighter and less complicated than a DSLR camera, while still offering superior quality when compared to a point-and-shoot. Sony's NEX cameras are no different, and in a likely bid to convince such consumers further, Sony Australia has released a series of videos that mock DSLR "experts" and snobs who do not know how to fully maximize a DSLR's potential. Check out one of the videos below. The irony of course, is that Sony sells not just mirrorless and compact cameras, but a whole range of DSLR cameras themselves.

This spectacular piece was discovered by our owner and founder, René Boissevain sitting forlornly in a basement in Hong Kong. When he enquired about purchasing it, René was originally told quite definitely that it was not for sale. " It was covered in dust, but when I scraped some away I could see the quality of the stone, and the artistry of the carving".
René tried again on his next visit to Hong Kong a year later and this time was told "maybe" , but a price was mentioned that was just too high, although René still didn't give up. "When I got home, I started sending him e-mails about the sculpture and eventually we negotiated on the price". The fact that the owner seemed to know little if anything about the origins of the carving meant that René had an advantage and eventually a price was agreed to.
After the sculpture arrived here at The Caves we started making enquiries about its likely origins. We sent high resolution images to several museums, as well as the fa- mous auction houses of Christies and Sothebys , all to no avail. The best information we were able to get that it was a "major piece" and was probably commissioned by "someone of significant importance". It was confirmed that the style of the art was consistent with the style that was common in China during the Qing dynasty.
Regardless of its origins , our "Ancient Chinese Lapis Sculpture" is regularly nominated as favourite for many of the people who tour The Crystal Caves. It is housed in a special glass enclosure in the Grande Grotto of The Caves and is a truly worthy addition to the many other specimens on display.

Lisa Williams, a Holmes Beach resident advocating for Manatee County to adopt a no-kill policy for its animal services department, took steps to have her voice heard by the Manatee County Animal Services Advisory Board.
In addition to board members and representatives of area animal rescue groups, the meeting also was attended by Islander publisher Bonner Joy, Manatee County Commissioner Carol Whitmore and county public safety director Bill Hutchison.
Having just finished finding adoptive homes for nine pets rescued from death at Manatee County Animal Services, Williams, who works for The Islander, is interested in raising awareness and motivating commissioners to stop euthanizing homeless and abandoned pets.
Williams attended the meeting with the hope of opening a dialogue on her push for a no-kill community — a community in which all savable animals are eventually placed into permanent homes. She was allowed five minutes to speak under public comment.
The board congratulated Williams on her ability to effectively find homes for the pets she rescued and asked her to suggest ideas rescue groups could use to get more animals out of shelters and adopted.
"My first recommendation was to take killing off the table," said Williams. "Then you work toward more adoptions, getting more foster families, more volunteers to care for shelter pets and you build more kennels."
Williams said she faced more questions about how to realistically achieve those goals. "Raising public awareness and advertising is a good place to start," said Williams. "You have to let people see what is happening to make them aware of the need for adoptive families and volunteers.
"And if killing is off the table, more people might be excited about volunteering."
Williams was recently asked to rescue a pit bull and find it a new home, but she had to decline due to restrictions in her lease agreement.
However, she has stepped up to the plate to provide support in raising awareness and advertising the pets currently sheltered by animal services.
"If you want to increase adoptions," said Williams, "then you need to showcase those pets in as many places as possible for them to have a better chance for adoption."
According to Williams there are plenty of avenues through which to advertise adoptable pets: newspaper classified ads, Facebook, Oodle.com, bradentondog.com and Bay News 9, which features a shelter pet daily.
Williams has begun sharing the pet profiles of adoptable animals listed on the MCAS website with other online resources. She noted that Bradentondog.com is a new site where adoptable dogs are featured along with many valuable community resources for dog owners. It's just one of the many free online resources she is utilizing.
Williams believes when the county takes better advantage of social media tools, such as Facebook, that they will see an increase in adoptions.
At the close of public comment, Williams didn't feel as encouraged as she'd hoped.
Cindy Morton, a volunteer with the Lakewood Ranch Humane Society, followed up with a suggestion for the advisory board to read Nathan Winograd's "No-Kill Primer," which Williams hopes the board will do.
In the meantime, Williams plans to make a no-kill presentation to the advisory board at its April meeting.
WMFR approves Station 1 remodel
Despite an objection by West Manatee Fire Rescue district board member Scott Ricci, other board members at the March 17 meeting approved a preliminary budget estimate of $279,846 from contractor Ross Built Construction of Holmes Beach to proceed with plans to remodel Station No. 1.
Ricci was not opposed to remodeling Station No. 1, but objected to the $70,000 cost to install a sprinkler system at the station.
"If there is any place on Anna Maria Island that's safe from fire deaths, it's that building," he said.
WMFR board chair Larry Tyler pointed out that the initiative to require all new construction to have a sprinkler system installed came from the board several years ago.
Fine, noted Ricci, "but I just think that's money that could better be spent elsewhere."
WMFR Chief Andy Price said if the sprinklers were not installed, contractor Ross Built Inc. would be required to include fire-retardant material for the walls and ceilings to meet the fire code. That would cost about $5,000 more than the sprinklers, he said.
Ricci suggested taking the sprinkler system out of the proposal for now and examining it further, but Greg Ross of Ross Built said if the project were split into two phases, that would add to the total project cost.
In addition to the sprinkler system, the proposed budget calls for replacement of the air-conditioning system along with new ducts, insulation, ceilings and the old fire alarm system. It also includes reconfiguration of several rooms to gain storage and living space.
The preliminary budget called for $59,000 to remodel the station, $151,314 for maintenance and $69,442 for the sprinkler system.
Price said he was confident the contractor would return with a lower cost estimate.
"We figured high on this and I truly expect the guaranteed maximum price will be less."
With the 4-1 board approval of the budget proposal, Price said Ross Built would now obtain bids from sub-contractors and come back to the board with a guaranteed maximum price.
The project was not bid by contractors, but awarded through a request for proposals by the board.
Price said this is a "design-and-build" project, based on a 2009 report by a Sarasota company that listed what repairs and renovations were needed at all WMFR facilities.
In other WMFR business, Price announced a "plant party" in April at the new administration building on Third Avenue in Bradenton that will begin with landscaping of the grounds and vacant adjacent land purchased by the WMFR when it bought the former medical office in 2010.
Price also advised board members of a planned burn on 13 acres of vacant property adjacent to DeSoto National Memorial park in the near future, but he did not yet have a date.
That's because the burn can only take place when the winds are out of the south or southwest to protect two houses in the area, he said.
The next board meeting will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 21, at the WMFR administration building, 6417 Third Ave. N., Bradenton.

Playoffs start in flag football
The dress rehearsal also known as "regular season" has ended in the Anna Maria Island Community Center's NFL Flag Football League. Playoff action — where it's win or go home — is here and there's plenty of excitement on the field.
The youngsters got started March 16 with three playoff games, none of which were close. The 10-12 division took the stage first as LaPensee Plumbing Falcons defeated Sandbar Cowboys 19-2. Levi Lengal passed for 46 yards and a touchdown pass, while also rushing for 39 yards and a touchdown. Henrik Brusso added 43 rushing yards and 25 receiving yards, including a touchdown reception. Tyler Yavalar added an extra point on offense and completed the scoring with an interception return for a touchdown.
Keegan Murphy accounted for the Cowboys score when he sacked the quarterback for a safety. Murphy finished with a game-high four flag pulls and a pair of sacks, while also leading the team with 88 all-purpose yards in the loss.
A second 10-12 division playoff game saw LPAC Cardinals roll past Southern Greens Bucs 19-0 behind a defense that produced three interceptions, including one each by Ethan Bertrand and Michael Latimer that they returned for touchdowns. Offensively, the Cardinals were led by Issac Henderson, who passed for 28 yards and a touchdown pass to Bertrand, and Tyler Pearson, who rushed for 57 yards and caught an extra-point pass.
Andrew Zink passed for 120 yards to lead the Bucs on offense, while Dylan Joseph led all players with seven flag pulls on defense. Corey Jaques added an interception and Brandon Mills sacked the quarterback once in the loss.
Beach Bistro Bears earned a first-round playoff win when they sautéed Mr. Bones BBQ Eagles 33-8 in the final game of the evening. Nick Mello had a big game for the Bears, rushing for 96 yards and a pair of touchdowns on offense, while also intercepting a pass and taking it to the house for a defensive touchdown. Austin Ferrer also accounted for a pair of touchdowns with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Henry Bernet to go along with a short touchdown run. Ferrer and Bernet also contributed interceptions on defense in the victory.
JT Goode led the Eagles with 40 passing yards and a touchdown pass, while also rushing for 65 yards. Chris Johnson added a 15-yard touchdown reception to round out the Eagle offense. Elijah Clay-Chapman led the Eagle defense with five flag pulls, while Brandon Blanford added an interception. Joey Salinas pulled off a quarterback sack in the loss.
The adult division playoffs got started March 18 with three games. Walter & Associates Steelers edged Slim's Place Jaguars 26-25 in the first game, while Sun Falcons slipped past Rotten Ralph's Packers 33-29 in the second game. The last game saw Hurricane Hanks Patriots get gifted into the second round of the playoffs thanks to a no-show forfeit by Beach to Bay Construction Rams.
The playoff action culminates Saturday, March 26, with Super Bowl games and Pro Bowl games all day. The action starts at 10 a.m. with the 13-16 division Super Bowl.

Fishing – 03-23-2011
Rich Hunter, Jeff North and Bob Krough, all of New Jersey, show off the hogfish caught on a recent charter trip with Capt. Warren Girle.
Spring break brings no break for top island fishing action
What did you catch over spring break? Hopefully, you reeled up lots of fish. Fishers around Anna Maria Island are being treated with a variety of species, as the water temperature continues to climb. Inshore species are coming out of their winter haunts in search of food — baitfish. Spotted sea trout are making a good showing on the deeper flats of Sarasota Bay.
Small twitch baits such as a Yo-Zuri pins minnow, are producing nice-sized trout, but try removing the front treble hook on your lure to make dehooking easier on you and the fish.
Plastic baits on a jig head are working equally well. The MirrOlure "Lil John" has been a good choice. Try the watermelon red-glitter color for good results.
While fishing the deeper flats for trout, don't be surprised to also catch some Spanish mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish, and, if you're lucky, a pompano. You can still catch rat reds around the docks and canals of Sarasota Bay, as well as Anna Maria Sound. Live shrimp is still the best bait, but you can catch them on a Berkeley Gulp shrimp, too.
Sheepshead are still congregating around docks and piers. Don't miss this winter-cycle action.
Moving out in the Gulf of Mexico to where you no longer see land, fishers are catching a variety of species. Amberjack in the 30- to 40-pound range are being caught on white bait and pinfish. Bottom dwellers such as red and gag grouper are still being caught and released in good numbers. Mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper and hogfish have joined the list of offshore species, along with Key West grunts, porgies and triggerfish.
James Followell at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge South Fishing Pier says sheepshead still are a regular catch. Fiddler crabs and frozen sand fleas are catching the most fish, although shrimp are working, too. Pier fishers opting to use shrimp also are catching silver trout.
There's no size or bag limit on silver trout, so it's best for the fishery to only take what you need. Spanish mackerel are still carousing the man-made reefs around the pier and chasing glass minnows, so don't forget to have some Gotcha plugs handy.
If its catch-and-release gag grouper action you're looking for, try dropping a live pinfish under the pier and hang on tight. Daily catches of gags are happening using these little "rainbow porgies." Last but not least, Followell says pompano are making a showing. He suggests trying a Doc's goofy jig or a reasonable facsimile.
Jonny Keyes at Island Discount Tackle says reports are coming into the shop that beach action is picking up. These fishers are encountering ladyfish, mackerel and shark from the shoreline of Anna Maria Island. Keyes suggests using a "shiny lure," such as Gotcha plugs and spoons, for the ladies and the macks. "The shark are hitting frozen threadies or squid," Keyes says.
In the backwaters, redfish are still being caught on live shrimp around docks. "Shrimp has been working well for trout, too," Keyes says. "Try fishing a live shrimp using a Cajun thunder cork."
Moving offshore, fishers willing to go 20-30 miles out are rewarded with amberjack and red and gag grouper. "Pinfish is the bait for the AJs and grouper," Keyes says. Switching over to a select shrimp results in yellowtail and mangrove snapper, as well as hogfish.
Dave Sork at the Historic Anna Maria City Pier says Spanish mackerel are making a good showing. He's seeing sizeable macks of lengths up to 25 inches. "Now that the bait is starting to show up," Sork says, "so are the mackerel." Sork added he's seeing gator trout blasting ballyhoo at night around the lights on the pier.
Capt. Rick Gross of Fishy Business Charters says he is targeting a variety of species while fishing the nearshore structure and backwaters of Anna Maria Island.
While fishing the reefs, Gross is catching Key West grunts, also known as imperial snapper, using live shrimp. He's also catching sheepshead, hogfish and black sea bass on shrimp.
Moving into the backwater, Gross is boating spotted sea trout up to 22 inches using Cotee cracker shrimp in the measles color. While targeting trout, Gross, also is catching Spanish mackerel in the 24-inch range. "A lot of times you'll get hit before your jig can even reach the bottom," Gross says, "resulting in a Spanish mackerel."
Capt. Steve Salgado of Compleat Angler Fishing Charters says offshore action is going strong. Salgado is targeting amberjack in 100 feet of water or more. "We fished a school the size of two football fields out there the other day," Salgado said. "They were jumping out of the water like tuna."
Salgado is also catching mangrove snapper up to 5 pounds and catch-and-release gag grouper in the 30-inch range. "We left the grouper biting again," Salgado added.
Inshore, Salgado is using artificial baits for spotted sea trout. Slot-sized fish have been the norm, although some have been up to 22 inches.
Capt. Warren Girle is fishing nearshore structure with good results. While fishing ledges, Girle is seeing catch-and-release gag grouper in the 8- to 10-pound range. Also in the mix are mangrove snapper up to 16 inches. "It's been on fire out there," Girle says. Other catches aboard Girle's boat include hogfish, Key West grunts and flounder up to 2 1/2 pounds.
Girle also is having success in the backwater in Sarasota Bay with spotted sea trout, redfish and sheepshead. Golden bream Exude Darts are working well for the trout. A tasty live shrimp has been Girle's choice for the sheepies and redfish.
Capt. Mark Johnston of Legend Charters is reeling up Spanish mackerel in the Intracoastal Waterway using live shrimp. Fish ranging from 18-20 inches has been the norm, although some as big as 26 inches have been caught.
Johnston is catching limits of sheepshead — up to 2 1/2 pounds at inshore structure. "There's a ton of sheepies out there right now," Johnston says.

ENVIRONMENT: This has been tested for Windows XP, but I'm sure it will work on Windows 2K and Windows 98, although the keys might be different. I used ZENworks 4 and above to push it out.
PROBLEM: Some users in my environment do not like to or forget to change the the Drop Down Menu option to "Shutdown" when they go to leave for the day. This is especially true for computer labs in schools. If the setting is not automatically set to Shutdown and set to, say, Restart and the users do not realize it, they Restart the machine instead of shutting it down.
SOLUTION: To remedy this and to ensure that the Shutdown option is always the default choice I created a simple application to push the setting down for the current user.
This application will push the following registry setting down:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer DWORD: Shutdown Setting Value: 2 (for shutdown) 1 (for log off) 4 (for restart)
Just create an application and use the Registry tab, insert these keys, and push it out as a Force Run, Do Not Show Progress, Unsecure System User, and Distribute Always checked.
This works well in a Deep Freeze environment as well. Although the setting isn't permanent, if you have it set to always run, it will get set every time the user logs in.
If you have any questions you may contact Ryan at email@example.com

I've been teaching flute and piano for as long as I can remember and I like it, but I don't absolutely love it. My true loves in music are performing and conducting, but I've been supplementing our income with my teaching. (only a little though).
Hubby made a comment yesterday that he'd kind of like for me to stop teaching for a while. Although the extra money is nice, we don't need it and we'll be fine without it. I've made my pros and cons list, but I feel like it really is pointing for me to quit, but honestly, I'm scared to.
Reasons to teach:
A little extra money
Feeling like I contribute to the household
Scared to quit
Feeling like I will disappoint my students and their families
I enjoy teaching (but probably wouldn't miss it)
Reasons to quit:
Our days wouldn't be tied up with my teaching schedule
We could establish more of a routine to our days
Time: Time for planning school for the boys since we homeschool, time for household projects, time for cooking and baking that I love and desire
Stress: I do stress out on my teaching days. The house needs to be clean enough, etc.
Simplify: Between homeschooling, teaching, church stuff, wife, mom, etc..I'm feeling like I'm trying to do it all and not really doing any of it good.
I know it looks obvious, but why am I wrestling with this so much? Anthony is fine with whatever I choose to do. He was just putting it out there that quitting teaching is an option that he would support if I want. (Just don't want you to think he is controlling because he isn't)
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

Maybe just take some time off. If your love is performing and conducting, maybe do just that. Good luck.

Yes that too Alee, that's something I was trying to express and you hit it as well....husbands usually suggest things for a reason, they aren't usually the out of the blue people. lol That's what I was thinking too! ;o)
Posted - May 29 2012 : 05:23:00 AM
I don't know about your husband, but mine doesn't really come up with suggestions out of the blue unless its something he feels strongly about. And if you homeschool as well- then I applaude your endurance for having done lessons as well! If nothing else I would say you are closing the doors for 3 months for the summer. If I remember right, when I had lessons as a child we had summers off. You could assign like 5 hard pieces and say that was their summer homework to perfect it etc. That way you could feel like if the parents want to approach you after summer then the ball is somewhat in their court but you also get at least 3 months to really determine if you want to re-open the door.
But I think that if you are not really absolutely in love with teaching and you have other things going on- I would focus on those things that really bring a smile to your face! :)

Exactly what Jeanna said, she just said it better then me.

Having worked as a nurse for the past 39 yrs and now being the only one bringing in an income, I could go either way with this, BUT I agree that you should quit at least for the summer. The kids grow up SO fast and life just goes by. You can always restart after the summer if you miss it. And I agree that you already contribute to the household BIG TIME and if you don't need the income, just try it for a few months anyway.
Please don't give up on me. I think about you often and I promise I WILL write as soon as we get settled somewhere. Hugs, Joey

Wendy, the thing on the list that I paused at is when you said you contributed to the household by your teaching. If you are a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, housekeeper, laundry maid, taxi driver, etc. you already more that contribute to the household. I think we as a nation have gotten to thinking that making money is primary way to contribute, but, as you know, it is not. I would quit. Your children will only be young once and need you to be as stress free as possible and you want to keep the hubby happy too. Good luck on which ever way you decide to go.

I totally understand where you are, as I'm a piano and voice instructor. Currently I don't have students and I'm reluctant to take any students because the instruction schedule REALLY does tie up your days. I agree with Dawn . . since it is summer it would be reasonable to tell your students you are taking a break of undetermined length. You can let them know that you'll contact them if and when you're ready to teach again.
If you're like me, you struggle with it because it is so much of who you are. But I wouldn't worry about your students and their parents . . you have to do what's good for you. You might also give them name(s) of some teachers you would recommend if they are wanting to continue the instruction.
My teaching days were totally focused on that . . . right now, I'm happy to NOT be teaching.
Wishing you the best!

I don't know your husband personally so I can't say if this is true for him personally or not. But, many men like to be the sole provider. It makes them feel good. I don't see that as controlling, but rather caring, and kind of even inherently ingrained in many of them. Personally for me I also see it as part of their spiritual obligation. But, that's personal and I don't force my views on others. That being said, my husband is serious about wanting to be the sole provider. He takes it seriously even if we are struggling, he likes me to be home caring for the home front. Funny enough neither of us came from such families (my mom is a dr-bringing in much more then my father as a nurse, and his mother is a nurse bringing in more then his father as well! haha). But, this was in our discussions while dating and what we decided on and what he's been committed to. Also we got a ton of flack for it living the first 10 years of our marriage in NYC where this was almost unheard of! But, it works for us. I understand your pros though, when I first read your starting out of this, I thought keep teaching as you can and do what you want. But, as I read further I got to thinking how my husband feels about being the one to provide for us...it's a pride issue, I think. And I'm happy to oblige him. In the meantime I do like you try to care for my household etc, in a modest way to help him not have to struggle to provide for us.
So again I don't know your husband personally, but you may want to think about "why" he said you could quit...I don't think it is anything controlling in the least either, but it may just make him feel good knowing he is the one who is completely providing for his family. And that you are such a capable wife caring for the house and children so well.
