Commuting can be stressful and time consuming, but it seems no matter how you slice it it's always expensive.
Even buying a monthly discounted rail ticket, it costs $4,632 a year to trek back and forth from the to New York City. Hopping on the bus is only slightly cheaper, totalling $3,336 a year.
With that in mind, it may come as a relief to commuters that NJ Transit will not be upping their fares in 2013. The Board of Directors recently approved a $1.904 billion operating budget and a $1.152 billion capital program for the 2013 fiscal year, which began on July 1, 2012, according to a press release from the company.
Fares account for $894.2 million, which is nearly half, of the operating budget. The remainder is drawn from about $109.8 million in commercial revenues, $363 million in capital transfers, and $536.9 million in state operating assistance and other state and federal reimbursements, according to NJ Transit.
The operating budget reflects a $13.2 million increase in passenger revenue and is split up to cover the cost of running the trains and buses. About 57% covers labor and fringe benefit costs while just under 30% is applied to expenses such as contracted services, fuel, and power.
The $1.152 billion capital program will be invested in infrastructure improvements, maintenance, and enhancing the reliability and safety of the transportation system, according to NJ Transit. It will also help fund an ongoing effort to modernize the fleet, including the continued acquisition of more than 1,400 new buses, more than 400 multilevel rail cars and more than 50 electric and dual-power locomotives, according to NJ Transit.
"By implementing sustainable and fiscally responsible operating and capital programs, we are able to maintain and enhance New Jersey's robust transportation system while responding to the daily transit needs of our customers," said NJ Transit Executive Director James Weinstein.
The last fare increase came in 2010, and resulted in a 25% increase to interstate bus tickets and rail tickets, in addition to the removal of off peak tickets.

RALEIGH — Every time he's asked about the quarterback competition, N.C. State coach Dave Doeren makes a point to mention he has five choices.
Doeren always includes freshmen Bryant Shirreffs and Josh Taylor when he talks about a potential starter for the Aug. 31 opener against Louisiana Tech.
In addition to veterans Brandon Mitchell, Pete Thomas and Manny Stocker, both freshmen will have a chance to win the job this month, Doeren said.
"That's all you can ask for," Shirreffs said.
While the odds are against Shirreffs or Taylor, a walk-on from New Bern, winning the job, there is a reason Doeren includes the two in the conversation.
"Both the freshmen run well," Doeren said. "They're both athletic."
Doeren prefers quarterbacks who have the ability to run. At Northern Illinois last season, Jordan Lynch ran for 1,815 yards and 19 touchdowns. In 2011, quarterback Chandler Harnish ran for 1,379 yards and 11 touchdowns. Both years, the quarterbacks led the team in rushing.
Doeren described Lynch as a "tailback that could throw." Lynch also threw for 3,138 yards and 25 touchdowns and led the Huskies to a 12-2 record and the Orange Bowl.
Both Shirreffs and Taylor can find inspiration in Lynch and the success he had under Doeren. Shirreffs, who is 6-3 and 218 pounds, ran for 1,372 yards last season and led Jefferson (Ga.) High to a state championship.
Like Lynch, Shirreffs was rated by Rivals.com as a two-star prospect. NIU was the only major Division I program that wanted Lynch to play quarterback.
Shirreffs was set to go to Yale before N.C. State offered after Doeren was hired in December.
Doeren said physically there are similarities between Shirreffs and Lynch, who is 6-foot and 216 pounds.
"Shirreffs is built more like Jordan, he's a really strong kid," Doeren said.
Shirreffs and Lynch had an embarrassment of college options compared to Taylor. Despite leading New Bern to a 15-0 record and running for 3,309 yards in his prep career and passing for almost 8,000, Rivals didn't even rate Taylor.
At 5-11 and 185 pounds, Taylor had a "bunch of Division II" offers but no options other Division I options other than to walk on at N.C. State.
Taylor's size worked against him in the recruiting process, but it didn't stop his production level at New Bern. He accounted for 130 career touchdowns and led the Bears to 42 wins.
"Josh is smaller but he's really quick, he can really run," Doeren said.
Taylor preferred the challenge of earning a spot in the ACC to starting right away at a lower level.
"I knew I was going to have to work, but I love the coaching staff and I think it's a good situation for me," Taylor said.
Even though they are competing against each other, and the other three quarterbacks, Shirreffs said all five players have helped each other get better.
Despite the camaraderie, the freshmen still understand it's a competition and there's likely only going to be one winner.
"The best one will get the job," Taylor said.

I want to paint it out for the Dominik bashers. This roster is so much better than the Allen era, but posters still demand more action. How many 100's of millions of dollars need to be spent, plus great draft picks like Freeman, McCoy, Williams, Clayborn, Bowers, Barron, Martin, and David.
Hate to tell you this, but about 20 teams in the league are "legit playoff contenders." The idea isn't to brag at the idea of our team going further, but actually leading it there. 0-for-4. We all hope it isn't 0-for-5.
Hate to tell you this, but we were pretty much the Cleveland Browns or Oakland Raiders when Dominik was given this job. Our team was awful throughout, our playoff game with Gruden came with luck and Jeff Garcia playing lights out. That roster was awful, and how many guys on that roster are still in the NFL? 2?
Can you guys give me the final 53 starting roster of the Allen period, and follow it with the current 53 roster of the Dominik period. I'm not aware of the websites where I can get the information, and I want to compare the GM's ability to build a roster. Solid input would be appreciated. Thanks
We had a an arena league roster when Dom took over in 2009. Dom is far from perfect, and has made many mistakes over the past 4+ years, but the difference between Allen's last 53 and our current group of guys is night and day.

Edgar Davids admits he is 'not really satisfied with a point ' after Barnet 2-2 draw with oxford United
12:55pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in Barnet FC By Adam Newson
It perhaps shows how far Barnet have come in the last month that coming back from behind to draw 2-2 with Oxford United left Edgar Davids "not really satisfied".
The Bees upturn in form since the Dutchman's arrival has seen three wins in eight matches and just two defeats.
Barnet went ahead against Oxford after four minutes when Jake Hyde headed in from a Mark Byrne corner.
Sean Rigg replied just 90 seconds later before Andrew Whing put the U's ahead one minute after half time. The Bees battled back though and Ricky Holmes crossed for Hyde to touch home the equaliser.
Reflecting on the game, joint Barnet head coach Davids said: "I'm not really satisfied with a point because we could've won the game. In the first half we conceded from a set-piece and in the second it is the same thing.
"The thing is with set-pieces is that you can work at them all you want but you have to be sharp in those situations.
"It is the same for every team and until you do that then you will not win the games."
He continued: "Oxford have a very good side. I've seen them play a lot of times and where they are in the table doesn't reflect their qualities to be honest. But that is football "But I'm pleased we showed we can play better than a top side than Oxford."
Davids was in the dugout for the game after he was sent off after receiving two yellow cards against Accrington Stanley.
His absence saw the Bees switch to a midfield diamond with Holmes playing behind Jon Nurse and Hyde.
When asked if he was pleased with how Barnet adapted to the change, Davids said: "They did very well. I'm happy about that but I am also happy that the players now understand what is demanded and how we need to play.
"They have adapted to a new system so there is a lot of progression that we have booked."

Afterhours is a state of mind, but significantly, it's more a state of 'I don't mind'. A determined continuation, contentment and relief that 'it ain't over yet!' An injection of music into attitude and occasion which creates an emotional wave forth that isolates globally, a ringing harmonic, a signal to a like-minded collective that 'we are only us'.

SOMETIMES THERE'S MORE TO a project than a stage, a lighting rig, a sound system, and a video display. DaVinci Fusion, a Northern California event production company, created a unique digital fabric set piece for The Tech Museum Awards: Technology Benefiting Humanity at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. The company incorporated bold and colorful patterns from Asian, African, and Latin American fabrics in the large-scale set piece, which served as a backdrop for the international awards ceremony and black-tie gala at Parkside Hall in San Jose.
The awards were given to educators and social entrepreneurs who use technology to benefit mankind. Twenty-five laureates, representing 11 countries, were honored in the categories of environment, economic development, education, equality, and health. More than 1,300 global technology leaders, philanthropists, and guests were present at the ceremonies.
"We wanted the set to have an international flair that mirrored the guests and the stature of the event," says DaVinci Fusion president Solomon Rosenzweig. "We chose to use fabric as icons of different cultures. In the design phase, these 'icons' worked really well when they were seen from close up. In the reality of a room with over 1,300 people watching, all the nuances of real fabric and its patterns were lost, however. At that point, we decided to enlarge the pattern, but lost the texture. The answer was to scan in the fabrics, thereby preserving the visual context of thread and texture, while still maintaining the appropriate metaphors. That still left us with the decision to paint or print. We chose to print. Since we have been developing the use of digitally printed canvas for some time, we were well prepared to succeed with this. It's quite a cutting-edge technique, and this was one of our more intricate applications for it."
DaVinci Fusion crafted three large panels, hung side by side, depicting fabric from three continents. These panels were each overlaid with three smaller, narrow vertical panels showing a contrasting fabric. The center panel showcased a bold, yellow-and-black patterned African mudcloth layered with separate panels of classic Chinese medallion fabric in hues of red and orange. To the left, a tightly patterned Indonesian batik in yellow and black was layered with Asian fabric in shades of blue. To the right, a coarsely woven green and brown Latin American fabric was layered with a delicate, leafy Japanese print in shades of green.
Rosenzweig's team scanned fabrics purchased at various ethnic shops in San Francisco then digitally manipulated the scans to create images on a much larger scale. "The fabric patterns were printed on impregnated low-sheen canvas with our printer's 16' flatbed printer, taking care to maintain a hand-crafted look," Rosenzweig reports. "We didn't want to lose the humanity in the fabric. Digital fabrication on the right material allows you to get the rich color saturation you want without the high-gloss sheen of vinyl. That meant the panels could be illuminated without looking like a shiny piece of paper, which would have destroyed the illusion."
Typography announcing The Tech Museum Awards 2004 appeared to float in the same plane as the central digital fabric panel but was actually a separate element layered over the panel and hung from the supporting superstructure.
"We received nothing but rave reviews for the set," Rosenzweig notes. "The audience didn't know what the panels were made of; people thought they were what they looked like — fabric."
"The set design was the most striking we've ever had — a great collaboration between The Tech's vision and DaVinci Fusion's translation and execution of that vision into a beautiful, multicultural tapestry that represented the global nature of The Tech Museum Awards," says Gwen Sobolewski, events manager at The Tech Museum.
DaVinci Fusion plans to make further refinements to the process of digitally fabricated sets. "We think there's an enormous future in working with these materials," says Rosenzweig. "There are still some technical difficulties to overcome, but we need to recognize the potential of the medium and learn more about how to design for it."
In addition to its innovative digital fabric set piece, DaVinci Fusion also provided the complete lighting, sound, and AV packages for The Tech Museum Awards, which included Christie projectors, Martin MAC moving lights and a full complement of ETC fixtures. Each award category was introduced by video created by Mediatrope that DaVinci Fusion displayed on two large screens. DaVinci Fusion also built a six-tiered, V-shaped thrust stage for the ceremonies, enabling the assembled laureates to be seen by the entire audience of over 1,300.

Hip to Be Square
Grounding Your Legs
Now press your inner thighs onto the sides of the block, feeling the firmness of the adductors as they perform this action. Make sure you are pressing evenly with your right and left legs. (Some people's adductors are stronger on one side, and this exercise is a wonderful opportunity to train the muscles for a more balanced action.) Also notice that as you press on the block, your weight becomes more evenly balanced between the inner and outer feet, and your legs ground firmly into the earth.
After holding this action for a minute or more, remove the block and re-create the same action in Tadasana with the inner edges of the feet touching each other. The action of the adductors will make your two legs feel like one�a strong, grounded foundation for the upward growth of your pose.
The adductors perform the same action in inversions such as Sirsasana (Headstand), Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Upward-Facing Tree Pose, more commonly called Handstand), and Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand); in all of these poses, their job is to hold the thighs firmly together. This action can be difficult to accomplish if the adductors on one side are stronger than on the other, a problem commonly associated with scoliosis or a leg-length discrepancy.
It can also be difficult if you have a fairly common form of adductor-abductor imbalance in both hips: relative weakness in the adductors combined with relative strength and shortness in some of the abductors. (The abductors are the muscles of the outer hips and buttocks�the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae�that lift the leg out to the side.) To overcome such an imbalance, you can work to build strength in your adductors by regularly squeezing a block while standing or while lying on your back with your legs out straight. Performing this squeezing action in inversions will also strengthen your adductors; over time, try to increase the duration of your upside-down poses, all the while imagining you are pressing a block between your legs.
Your adductors will also be worked hard in some arm balances, including Bakasana (Crane Pose), Bhujapidasana (Shoulder-Pressing Pose), and Tittibhasana (Firefly Pose), because these postures demand that you squeeze your thighs strongly onto your upper arms.

Great vacation in a beautiful condo!
This is a very impressive condo. My family and I stayed here two summers ago and had a wonderful time. This condo is beautifully furnished. Very comfortable. Pictures are very accurate. Extremely nice and clean. Love that both bedrooms are beachfront. Beautiful views. The resort itself is awesome. Great amenities. The owners of this condo are very accommodating. My wife, son, daughter in law, and two grandkids 3 and 6 had a great time in this unit. It was configured perfectly for us. Love the balcony with access from living room and both bedrooms. I would highly recommend this condo to you. I certainly hope to get to visit again next summer.
This being our first trip to Destin, we didn't know what we were in for, but this unit didn't disappoint. It was everything we wanted, and more. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were a family of 5, but because of the spaciousness, we never felt crowded. The balcony was large, lots of chairs and tables so we could all enjoy our coffee and the amazing view. The public spaces were very clean and it was obvious the building management took pride in taking care of everything; we saw the pool area being cleaned and well maintained every morning, along with all the public areas. The pools were very large, so it never felt crowded and there was plenty of seating for everyone. Everything was very secure, you need a key fob to get in the building, in the garage, and the pool, for some this may be a headache, but for our family, we were thankful for the security. For those of us that enjoy sightseeing, sometimes just getting on the main road can be a chore, if the entry to the building is in a bad spot, but this building is located at a red-light, so there is no dread of turning against traffic and it makes getting around so much easier. I would highly recommend this unit to anybody. Sheila, with ITZ was great to work with and answered all my questions, (and there were a lot), in a timely manner. Thank you so much for making our first family vacation and our first trip to Destin so wonderful!

Exclusive: 50 Cent Points Out Twitter Tough Guys: "They Couldn't Say It To You Face-To-Face Because They'd End Up..."
Monday, Jan 14, 2013 3:30PM
With G-Unit's 50 Cent known for adding punch to Twitter on a regular basis, SOHH recently hit up the platinum-selling rap star to learn more about his status with the popular social networking site.
Fif said fans should appreciate his frequent tweets as rap stars like close friend Eminem do not have the same activity on their pages.
"You know what Twitter does? You see people like, they forget that you're actually, well, [it makes you realize] maybe you shouldn't actually talk to them," Fif told SOHH. "Or maybe not respond to the things that they're actually saying because then they actually try to have a reason to aid you in finding yourself in a confused point. You could just take the Twitter and [seldom use it]. Like, when Em does it, it's something specific. He's notifiying you of something. He'll send a message saying "Go here" or what's happening, it's specific things. You don't actually have to talk to him. He's just telling you what it is." (SOHH)
The G-Unit leader also pointed out why he often gets targeted by Twitter bullies.
"When you're an artist and have an aggressive aura to you, people are urged to be aggressive enough to say something to you," Fif added, "and at that particular point, it's the only place that they could. They couldn't say it to you face-to-face because they'd end up in an awkward situation, like standing upside down on their head. [laughs] They're not [brave enough] to say it face-to-face, they're not strong enough to say the things they'd want to say to you and it's why they're on Twitter. When you look at it, you go, "Wow, look around. How many other artists do you see corresponding to their fans?" (SOHH)
In mid-November, Fif vowed to take a break from the popular social network.
"I'm leaving twitter today to many anal people.get a retweet some were else. Lol SMSaudio," Fif tweeted November 18th.
"I'm not responding to anything,just shooting out information. SMSaudio" (50 Cent's Twitter)
Back in 2010, G-Unit's DJ Whoo Kid revealed what triggered Fif's Twitter addiction.
"I think he got the new iPhone and they put the [Twitter] app on there. And then [Tony] Yayo was talking about 'go on' and he just started wildin' out. Once he saw how easy it was, that was it. Because before, he had a Blackberry, he didn't really care too much about going online. Whatever he needed to promote, he had somebody promoting it. But now he has it in the palm of his hands, and he's going bezerk. He cursed me out on there like twice. I'm like a f*cking human punching bag on Twitter. But it's all good because the more they curse me out, the more followers I get...This is like a nightmare now that he has 3 million followers, and I'm assuming he's trying to break the 5 million follower capacity. But making him mad and he has Twitter is a nightmare , so I would suggest not to go at him too tough. Leave him alone. Because basically whatever he says on Twitter, everybody knows." (VIBE)

Antonio goes to Bo and after discussing the incident at the club where he saved Claudia, he talks to Bo about getting his badge back.

Todd and Blair discuss in the hospital corridor Starr's condition and whether or not they can pretend that they are still engaged for Starr's sake. Todd doesn't believe that he can pretend to still be in love with Blair just as he doesn't believe that Blair can convince Starr that she is still in love with Todd with Spencer lurking around. Blair tells Todd that due to Starr's condition, she can't be upset and she will do whatever it takes to help her recover. They both agree that for the time being until they have the test results back, they will pretend to still be in love. When Blair makes a comment about the kiss that she and Todd just shared, Spencer walks up as if on cue.
While Todd accompanies Starr to her CT scan Spencer asks Blair to be straight with him and tell him if she is planning on leaving him for Todd.

She finally manages to convince Spencer that she loves him only to have Todd and Starr return while Spencer is caressing her hair.

He accuses her of being thoughtless and selfish. With her parents in the hall arguing, Starr reveals to her friend that she is faking her amnesia.
John is worried that the picture that Blair took of a younger Spencer with the gun that may have killed his father will not be enough evidence to get a search warrant for Spencer's place. John believes that Spencer hid the gun in a safety deposit box that he got in his father's name. While discussing with John whether or not the picture Blair took of Spencer and his father with the gun is enough to get a search warrant, Natalie reveals that she is on the verge of flunking out of the forensics program. She tells John that she didn't do so well on her exams because she doesn't understand some of the material. John tries to help her by going over some of the material with her. He asks her why she didn't tell him what was going on. Natalie tells John that she wanted to handle the situation on her own. When the call comes in that a search warrant will not be issued, Natalie tries to convince John that Blair is the only one who can get the key to the deposit box and that even though it is dangerous he should ask her since Blair is determined to bring Spencer down with or without police help.

Rex goes to Natalie with his suspicions that Dorian set him and made him look like the stalker in front of Adriana which caused her to clock him over the head with a lamp and take off. Natalie doesn't buy it but Rex is convinced that Mommie Dearest is capable of everything he is accusing her of and now Adriana could be in real trouble because of it. Natalie doesn't believe that Adriana could think Rex capable of stalking her and asks Rex what proof she had that convinced her that the man who has done everything possible was not worthy of her trust. Rex tells Natalie about the emails that Adriana discovered and how she caught him talking to the hooded guy. Natalie feels that Adriana apparently didn't need much to turn on Rex but Rex tries to convince Natalie that fear pushed Adriana to do what she did and Natalie would have thought the same thing if she were in that situation. Natalie tells Rex that there is no way she would ever believe that John would stalk her no matter what the evidence said and that Adriana's lack of faith in Rex should give him cause to be concerned. An exasperated Rex leaves the station to find Adriana on his own. Once alone he thinks about the time Adriana told him that she trusted him and is convinced that Natalie is wrong.
Right outside of Starr's room, John asks Blair to help him find the key to the safety deposit box that Spencer has in his father's name. Blair refuses to help him now that Starr is in the hospital and still having tests run. She wonders why John even believes that Spencer still has the incriminating gun. John feels that since his father gave him the gun, it will have sentimental value to Spencer. Blair agrees to help John after Starr gets the all clear from her doctors.
Meanwhile Starr is in her room telling Langston how she is faking her amnesia as a scheme to get her parents back together. Unfortunately, Spencer walks in and asks to speak with Starr alone. He asks her how she is doing and then tells her that the tests show that she is all right. He warns her that he is going to do everything possible to get to the bottom of her mysterious illness. When Blair comes back into the room, Starr asks her to keep Spencer away from her. Todd also returns and Starr questions when they will be able to go home to the penthouse as a family.
Bo enlists Renee's help with returning the photo Blair took from Spencer's desk drawer. She agrees to return the photo where it belongs but tells Bo that he needs to stay in the hall since he is not authorized to be in Spencer's apartment. While Bo is waiting for Renee outside, Spencer walks up and wonders with the newly reinstated police commissioner is doing outside his room. Renee walks out and covers by saying that Spencer's faucet sprung a leak and that she had to check it out and instructed Bo that she could not let him into Spencer's penthouse. Spencer is suspicious and wonders out loud about the leak when Renee and Bo try to leave. The maintenance man comes out of Spencer's apartment with a mop and bucket informing them that everything has been taken care of. Renee and Bo take their leave.
Nash runs into Todd at the hospital and asks him why he is there. Todd shares with him what happened to Starr and Nash tells him how he brought Jessica there to see Dr. Jamison but now Antonio is there with her. Nash tries to compare himself to Todd while trying to convince Todd that he is concerned about Jessica. Todd tells Nash that he will help Jessica just as Antonio walks in with Jessica. Antonio informs Todd that Jessica doesn't need his help since he is looking out for Jessica. Antonio goes on to get into an argument with Nash when he asks how Jessica's session with Dr. Jamison went. Jessica sends Nash away and tells Antonio that she is tired of his fighting with Nash and that it doesn't help the situation. Antonio apologizes and agrees to try harder to avoid confrontations with Nash. He also tells her how he talked with Bo about getting his badge back so he can get back to doing what he loves. Jessica tells him that she will not stand in his way and if it makes him happy then he should do it.
Bruce makes it clear to Adriana that he is not happy with her attempts to get away from him. After drugging her again, he makes a call to Dorian who wonders why he hung up on her that last time they spoke. Bruce tells her that it must have been a bad connection and goes over with her all the things he did to make it look like Rex was stalking Adriana. Dorian wonders where Adriana disappeared to but Bruce tells her that it's not his problem. He then goes on to tell Dorian that if she does not come up with some money then he will reveal to everyone that she was behind Adriana's stalking.

Jess is bummed over Antonio's wanting to return to the police force but she wants him to be happy. Having a poor night's sleep due to the baby being up further makes her grumpy as well as not wanting to be tied down in the apartment any longer. When Nash arrives to visit the baby, she agrees to accompany them to the park. He tries to pin her unhappiness on Antonio but she won't hear of it. She's afraid of raising the baby alone if something happens to Antonio she tells him. That'll never happen, he reassures her. She'd like to learn about Tess, which startles Nash. She won't turn into her, Jess insists, but she's started to have Tess' memories. Jess' confessions are important to Nash and he advises her that he'd like to remain in town for the baby.
Todd gets Evangeline home from the hospital and they are surprised when Layla greets them, followed by Vincent who walks out of the bedroom behind her. Evangeline expresses her extreme annoyance though they deny having slept together; Vincent was helping with computer problems. Vange finds it difficult to believe it's something he learned in college, though Todd assures her that it's true. Furthermore, he suggests she not be annoyed or miserable any longer, after going through what she did. She will only push Layla away besides. He asks her to attend the hospital bash with him and he even has two extra tickets, for Layla and Vincent. He knows she's seeing Cris and though she wanted to surprise him with her arrival home, she agrees to go. She thinks he wants to go with her to impress Blair and Spencer. He tells her to wear something sexy. He also mentions that Vincent might not be so bad, considering that Cris has even killed a man and he himself is evil. She apologizes to the pair. Todd mentions that he used to live in Atlantic City as Walker Flynn and asks Vincent to help him with getting information on Spencer. The speculator, as he calls himself, is reluctant but since Todd smoothed things over with Evangeline, he agrees that he owes him one.
Kelly is arrested but finds out it was bogus; Hugh ordered it because he knew she was planning on leaving town. She is angry as she had the momentum going and was actually on the way to the airport. Antonio, in Bo's office working on his return to the force, inquires about the opening in vice. He wants to hunt down more of the child pornographers around and has a lead on Norman Leeds' previous address. Though Bo warns him that he can't use the job for a personal vendetta, does some research and learns of other sex offenders living in close proximity to that address. Antonio wants to do some unofficial digging; Bo emphasizes that he wants things done by the book. He wants to protect his daughters and Jess and recover any tapes that might still be around. Hearing Kelly and Hugh arguing, Antonio offers to talk to Kelly when Hugh is unable to convince her to stay in Llanview. She explains her feelings and how everyone will know and talk about her and the baby. He tells her that because people do things they regret at times, it doesn't make them bad. He offers his help in the future. She appreciates this but acknowledges that she has to leave. When Kevin shows up and wonders what's going on, she informs her of her imminent departure. He also tries to get her to stay to no avail. Leaving the police station, Antonio spots Jess and Nash fawning over baby Bree.

Todd arrived early at Evangeline's to take her to the gala. Vangie was still in her robe. A moment later Cristian showed up at her door and told Evangeline he wanted to take her to the gala. Evangeline said she would go with both men. Todd walked off to take a phone call from Starr, and Cristian expressed dismay at having to spend time with Todd. Evangeline said Todd will always be her friend. "He wants more than friendship, Evangeline," Cristian said. Evangeline said that no matter what, Todd is still in love with Blair and that he only wants to bring her to the gala to make her jealous. She also reminded Cristian that Todd is quite aware of the fact that she has a boyfriend and alluded to she and Cristian having some romantic fun after the gala.
Antonio walked up to Nash and Jessica and told Jess that his cop duties will be working on busting up the local child porn rings. "Anyone who uses kids that way should pay the price," Antonio said. He took a call and said he had to leave. Nash told Jessica he was not getting rid of the vineyard, but that he also wants to stay in Llanview, close to his daughter. When Jessica went to get the car, Nash told Brennan not to worry, that Tess would come back.
Antonio questioned some old guy about a past association he had delivering envelopes for Norman Leeds. He got a bunch of names of people to whom he would deliver the packages. The guy said the envelopes contained video tapes labeled with girls' names, like "Rose, Donna, Tess."
John gave Blair a photo of the safety deposit box key and wished her luck finding it in Spencer's suite. He told her, however, that because it is an illegal search, even if they do uncover the gun it won't be admissible in court. Blair went up to the suite but Spencer was already inside. He went in for a little sugar, and Blair pushed him off. Spencer asked why she was so on edge, but Blair changed the subject. Spencer promised a very special surprise for Blair at the gala. Spencer went to fix his tie in the bathroom and Blair spotted Spencer's key ring. He came back before she could grab it. She made up several more excuses to get Spencer to leave her alone, and finally she had enough time to remove the key from the ring. As they were leaving for the gala, Spencer left Blair in the hall and went back into the suite to make a quick call to his bank to see if he could drop by right away and pick something up from his safety deposit box.
John asked Natalie to join him at the gala so that they could get Spencer's key from Blair. Natalie went to talk to Renee about the seating arrangements for the event and asked about the exits. John dropped in and Natalie set up a plan for Blair to get her the key and for them to sneak away with it without anyone noticing.
Bo questioned Dorian while Rex hurled accusations at her. Dorian said she honestly had no idea where Adriana is. She told Bo Adriana was probably just cooling off because she's so angry "about Rex's betrayal." Clint walked into Bo's office to hear Rex accusing Dorian of shooting him up with heroin the last time she tried to break up him and Adriana. Clint told Dorian if what Rex says is true that he'd never be able to look her in the eye. Later, a scared Dorian told herself that what she did is not responsible for what has happened to Adriana.

At the police station, Roxy stopped by to see Rex. He shared that they still haven't found Adriana and that he thinks Dorian knows where her daughter is. Rex reminded his mom of the lengths Dorian has gone to to break him and Adriana up. He showed his mom some of the stalker's messages, where he called someone "painted lady." Rex concluded that the stalker is a butterfly expert.
A worried Dorian thought about Bruce.... Bruce told his hostage Adriana that she'd soon know what he wants from her and that she'd be going home soon if all goes according to his plans. He wouldn't say what those were, but didn't hesitate to chain her up. Adriana screamed for help and regretted thinking Rex was her stalker. She though back to their happy romp on the beach.... Dorian told Bruce that he can tell Adriana about their agreement because Adriana will believe her over him. Bruce revealed that he kidnapped her daughter and warned her not to call the cops. Later, Bruce rejoined his hostage. Adriana was confident that Rex would find her.
At the gala, Clint asked Viki what his ex thinks of him. They agreed that they work well together as parents. He promised that no matter what happens with him and Dorian, his and Viki's kids will be his priority. Viki asked if he thought she wants to be with him.
Also at the gala, Claudia complimented Renee's set up of the Palace dining room, as Nash looked on. Nash informed her that he's looking for a new business opportunity in town. Claudia offered to invest in it, but he wasn't so sure.... John and Natalie wondered how Blair is doing with Spencer. Nat worried that Spence is on to John.... Todd told Evangeline that he's not in love with Blair anymore. Vangie didn't really believe it. Cristian then arrived and told her that he doesn't care who she came with because she's coming home with him. Vince reminded him not to drink and to go to bed early so he'll be ready for his fight. When the guys went off to talk, Evangeline expressed her concern for Layla and Vincent's relationship.... David was surprised to see Paige there. She revealed that she interviewed for a new job. Both planned for Spencer's downfall. After, David jokingly tried to flirt with Viki, but she wouldn't play along.
Todd told Viki that he can't forgive Blair. Viki urged him to be happy he got his life back and reminded him that he's lied to Blair. She also stated that Starr got hurt because the teen was upset over her parents' problems and had acted out. Viki then shared how grateful she'd been that Ben had forgiven her for pushing him out the window.
En route to the gala, Blair tried to get Spencer's safe deposit box key, but Spencer wanted to stop at a bank to get something from his box. Blair tried to get out of going to the event, but Spence told her she has to because he had something "special" planned for her. Later, at the gala, Spencer proposed to Blair in front of everyone.

A word from Petrossian - New York
Founded in 1984, New York Petrossian restaurant is housed in the historic Alwyn Court Building on Manhattan's West Side, one block from Carnegie Hall and four blocks from Lincoln Center. Owned by the Petrossians, it serves a French-influenced contemporary menu that features the caviar, smoked fish,
and foie gras delicacies for which Petrossian is known throughout the world. Lunch, dinner, & brunch can be enjoyed at either the art deco style mirrored bar or in the dining room. Designed by Ion Oroveanu, the restaurant features Lalique crystal wall sconces, bronze sculptures from the 1930's, etched Erté mirrors, Lanvin chandelier and pink Finnish granite, all harmonizing to create a visual ambiance that can be savored equally with the unsurpassed gourmet experience.

Diner Reviews
Yum. What could be better! The
appetizers, caviar, champagne and vodka are the best parts! Fill up on those, skip the entrees, and have dessert if you must."
Dined on 8/25/2014
To bad on a Saturday night, only 3
tables were full.kind of depressing.fodd very good, the Georgian waitress very nice. We,ll come again"
Dined on 8/23/2014
Always a special experience. I
will say the same song played over and over again over the sound system which was annoying"
Dined on 8/22/2014
One wonders if Petrossian is going
to be around, given their casual approach to answering their phones and the attitude of the help... notably the women servers, who seen to be disinterested and not very professional. The meal was quite good, but very over priced!!!"
Dined on 8/18/2014
The Brunch at Petrossian is great
value for money! A three course gourmet meal at $38 is hard to find. Food was excellent, creative and tasty. Place it self is a bit cold, not too many customers. Perhaps an August Sunday was the wrong time. Regardless, do your self a favor and try it!"
Dined on 8/17/2014
There is an almost courtly feel to
the service and ambiance at Petrossian -- sort of from another era, and most welcome. The servers are quiet, professional, and efficient (none of the "Hi, my name is Scott and I'll be your server tonight!" stuff). The food is wonderful, and while Petrossian's menu is a bit old-fashioned, it can't be beat for smoked fish and caviar. The Lalique glass and beautiful granite, not to mention the diagonal bar, all contribute to a great dining experience."
Dined on 8/16/2014
well worth a detour and some dy I
will do the caviar menu"
Dined on 8/15/2014
I loved the presentation of the
food . Service was impeccable. Decoration and music amazing. I like the presentation of the caviar."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Petrossian restaurant in New York
is always our first choice for a special occasion dinner. Its location is ideal, the decor and ambience encourage relaxed dining, the food is delicious and elegantly presented, and the service is unfailingly gracious and attentive. We recommend Petrossian highly to our friends and to everyone else."

We found them to be very
inflexible for a high end restaurant. They refused requests for minor changes to menu items. When told my wife did not like her dinner, they were indifferent. Our friend was allergic to nuts. It was a garnish and retrospectively it appeared nuts were added just prior to serving. Consequently she settled for the ice cream. Restaurant week or not, we will not be going back."
Dined on 8/14/2014
We went on restaurant week and it
is a beautiful place and quiet which is hard to find. We enjoyed the food and the ambiance. I think it is a little pricey if it's not restaurant week."
Dined on 8/14/2014
My friends and I had a great time.
The food was delicious and the service was very nice. I would go again if I had friends in town. Thank you for a great lunch."
Dined on 8/13/2014
I hadn't eaten there in years. It
was better than ever, they were very generous with portions, I don't understand why this classic isn't ranked higher. Underrated, a truly top NYC restaurant."
Dined on 8/12/2014
We went during NYC restaurant
week. The entrees were sorry excuses for a main meal. The steak was flimsy and tasteless; the sturgeon was expensive and lacking flavor. Caviar was good; dessert was delicious. Go only for caviar and dessert -- avoid everything else."
Dined on 8/10/2014
Excellent service, truly, very
accommodating to late arrivals in our group and attentive to any needs at the table without being asked. The brunch menu offered a variety of options and was deliciously satisfying."
Dined on 8/9/2014
I enjoyed with my friend at
Petrossian during the Restaurant Week. This place is legendary, elegant, grand and romantic ~~~ and worth it. The food are delicious and high quality. Definitely should try their most famous caviar. We will go back soon."
Dined on 8/8/2014
I always wanted to go to the
restaurant in this NYC landmark. From the outside it looks like a real classy restaurant but the food and service significantly underdelivers. The preparation lags inspiration and the flavors are very poorly matched. The mackerel was over slated and the fishy taste was overbearing. Overall a big disappointment and especially in NYC don't waste your time and money there since there is an abundance of excellent restaurant."
Dined on 8/7/2014
Had Smoked Trout and Salmon
Pastrami, Crocante de quinoa, pickled carrots Jerusalem artichokes, young tomatoes-cucumber raita, as 1st course. There were bones in trout, but it was ok. The salmon was incredibly tasty. 2nd course was Lightly Grilled Spanish Mackerel, Sushi rice, enoki mushrooms, green onions, spinach, carrots, Bonito lime broth. It was truly Japanese food. The broth was full of amino acids. It reminded me O Zohni in New Year's Day. The last course was Carrot cream cheesecake with carrot sorbet. Cheesecake was descent, but sorbet was a little bit too carroty. Overall, food was wonderful. Love the taste. However, the restaurant needs to be cleaned much more thoroughly."
Dined on 8/7/2014
I had lunch here during restaurant
week. To begin with, the hostess was busy chatting with two other guests who were leaving and did not even acknowledge me. Another lady walked in and the hostess was about to see to her when the lady kindly pointed out that I had been waiting there first so I was finally seen to and shown to my table. (Perhaps as I'm Asian, she did not think it worth her while to attend to me.) My husband and I both had the smoked salmon as a starter, I had the duck for my main and my husband had the steak. The smoked salmon was ordinary, the duck was dry and the steak so so. For dessert, I had the carrot cheesecake which was the only good dish. Waiting staff were very brusque and not courteous. Conclusion: Avoid"
Dined on 8/7/2014
We had a lovely lunch during
Restaurant Week. The food was very good, prepared nicely, and a number of choices were offered. We recommend the restaurant both for restaurant week and at other times."
Dined on 8/7/2014
I had never dined at Petrossian
before but I had always read wonderful reviews. Well it is all true. Everyone loved what they ordered. The food was fresh and the duck confit was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. Flawless is the only word I can think of."
Dined on 8/7/2014
Petrossian's Signature Borscht
with Crème Fraiche and Pirojkis is a most exquisite light dish that pleases the eyes and taste buds."
Dined on 8/6/2014
First time , and very bad
impression of the place , never would go back , you paying money just for the name , not the food . Waste of time and money ."
Dined on 8/5/2014
The duck was amazing. Service was
attentive. Nice and quiet so you can actually have a conversation. I will recommend this restaurant especially during Restaurant Week. Great deal."
Dined on 8/5/2014
I think for the price is Fair,
Food is Good, Service not professional - when on restaurant week they didnt have rest wk menu- same as pre-fix $10 less? Ambience- inside is OLD, outside looks great building is very nice. Only time...will not go back"
Dined on 8/4/2014
We went for the Restaurant Week
Lunch. Petrossian offered it's typical $38 lunch pre-fix for the $25 restaurant week price, and it was terrific."
Dined on 8/4/2014
We had a good meal and the service
was perfect. Will be back here any time!"
Dined on 8/4/2014
went for restaurant week and
choices seemed good but a steak that is about 1/8 inch thick is a joke. sturgeon which another member had tasted stale. maybe their regular menu is better but won't take a chance after a disappointing meal"
Dined on 8/3/2014
The gorgeous art deco mirrors
would be worth a visit just by themselves, but don't miss the food which is as outstanding as the decor."
Dined on 8/3/2014
Very nice restaurant, superior
service! Caviar and sturgeon dishes were very good. Excellent wine."
Dined on 8/1/2014
We might have a high expectation.
The service is fair but a little slow. I like the appetizers better."
Dined on 8/1/2014
The restaurant is just gorgeous
and so was the food presentation. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We went for Restaurant Week and it was a great experience."
Dined on 8/1/2014
Everything was good except for the
steak. Three of us (two women and one man) had steak and all three agreed that the steak was salty. The carrot cheesecake was out of sight. The first course (fish & lox) was outstanding. The fourth person had the Spanish mackerel and he said that it was outstanding."
Dined on 7/31/2014
The restaurant served up some nice
dishes on its restaurant week menu. I ordered the smoked trout and salmon for the appetizer - it was light and refreshing, and the fish was fresh. For the main entree, I had the pork loins which was decent but outshone by the carrot puree that came with it. Dessert was a delicious cheesecake. Given the good food, the service was average and make sure you are properly bundled up for the cold temperature."
Dined on 7/31/2014
always pass by the cafe,w ant to
try the restaurant. good size not noisy. smoked salmon and duck both good too. dessert better than expected. we are happy and will back sometime soon."
Dined on 7/31/2014
I've always wanted to try the
Petrossian because of the lovely exterior of the building it is located in. I had such high hopes but, unfortunately, they were not met. The service is nothing to crow about. We asked to be moved to a table away from the distracting kitchen door and they said they were not able to do so despite the fact that there were numerous empty tables. We decided not to fuss because we figured an exceptional meal would make up for it. However, none of the food served to us proved to be great. The vongole was a little salty. The hanger steak and the duck were a bit overcooked. I'm glad I finally got to try this restaurant but I won't be returning anytime soon."
Dined on 7/30/2014
I have been here on numerous
occasion. Though the place is a nice room especially the building and interior it has somewhat of a cold feel. The hostess on several occasion can be cold to rude maybe not knowingly but comes across as not very welcoming The maître d is efficient but also a bit cold and too strict they need warm up their staff it feels very geared to corporate world. The food was good nothing exceptional though Can be nice if you are surrounded by warm friends and placed in a ice spot in the room. I have been placed on two occasion right in front of the entrance window which never felt special sort of like were you would put the people you care less about. Anyways I don't think I will visit this place soon-"
Dined on 7/30/2014
The food was excellent. The
service was extremely professional and courteous. The waiter was very attentive and help us pick a wonderful wine to go with our dinner."
Dined on 7/30/2014
We dined there as a family for a
birthday and it was spectacular. Highly recommended. Delicious food and wonderful service. Really beautiful place!"

The jazz show band: piano, drums, bass, guitar, trombone, two trumpets, and three saxes, give a memorable performance whether in the pit, on stage, or in the lounges when the theater is dark. There's even an opportunity for karaoke cruisers to sing with the band.
The Nouveau Steakhouse is worth every bit of the $30 surcharge. Climb a glass staircase above the grand atrium and you enter the dining room below a glass-paneled ceiling at the top of the ship. It's the most exclusive space on board. The food is not cooked before you sit down and the service is impeccable.
They've added an adults-only pool area at the back of the Lido deck with basket-weave cabanas. There are two new water slides, one that launches you vertically by dropping the floor away.
The cruise director, Stu Dunn, is a hoot. He is a fountain of funny stories and a master at finding new ways and reinvigorating old ways for cruisers to have fun on board.
We took a Mexican Riviera cruise: Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and Ensenada, but the Spirit is relocating to Australia.

The Suites
There's something very restful about staying in the banyan forest, surrounded by trees and kentia palms. And so close to the beach that you can hear the sea.
We have three types of suites, because different things matter to different people, but all the suites have some very good things in common.
Skylights mean there's lots of natural light and you can adjust the louvre windows to make your suite just as breezy as you like it. We service the rooms twice a day, and turn down your bed at night. There are bathrobes and slippers of course. Every suite has an ensuite bathroom, a private outdoor deck and a mini bar.
The all-inclusive room rate includes a full breakfast, light lunch, afternoon tea, selected pre dinner drinks and a three course dinner.

Take a Las Vegas revue, add a touch of vaudeville, plus a few Cirque du Soleil-style acts, Canadian singer Paul Brandt, a club atmosphere, and roll it all into Century, the 2012 TransAlta Grandstand Show at the Calgary Stampede. This 77-minute show ran for just ten nights in July, as part of the Stampede's centennial celebration.
"I have been with this show since 1996, and we had about 48 PAR cans back then," recalls Canadian lighting designer Pierre Marleau of Calgary-based Orange Frog Productions. "I always try to update the technology, and we have evolved to a show with over 600 fixtures of which more than 400 are moving heads." Marleau is also part of the producing team for the show, which he notes "comes from the vaudevillian era, when fairs had a show every night. We are the last of the big fairs that still does a live show on this scale."
Each year, an audience of 25,000 people per night comes to see chuck wagon races at 8pm and stays to see the Grandstand Show that begins at 10pm. After the chuck wagon races, the largest John Deere tractor in existence pulls the 500,000lb stage one-quarter mile into place, during a 25-minute changeover (the stage measures 100' long by 30' deep by 45' tall). "The stage was built in 1999 by F&D Scene Changes in Calgary, who build a lot of Broadway shows," Marleau points out. "We are lucky to have them in our backyard. They do our new scenery every year."
One of the challenges for the lighting team is that the sun does not set over western Canada until 10:45pm in July, so there is still full sunlight when the show begins. That also means any programming is done from 11pm until about 5am. "Since the show is outdoors on a stage with no roof,
we need fixtures that work well in the rain," Marleau adds. "We can't lose any moving lights and can't afford to lose time programming, with just one week to program a 77-minute show. Luckily, Epic Production Technologies created watertight rain gear for the moving lights."
Marleau draws his plot in Cast Software wysiwyg, but he does not do advance programming. "We hit the deck running," he says, "And I try to make the rig as flexible as possible. From 6 to 11pm, we watch rehearsal, have a powwow, and then start programming." This year, programmer Michael Wilkinson used an MA Lighting grandMA2, and once the show was programmed, it ran via SMPTE timecode.
To add color and intensity at the top of the show, 31 light boxes were built into the stage, each with 12 Philips Color Kinetics ColorBlasts. The automated fixtures included 53 Clay Paky Sharpy units, 32 Martin Professional MAC 101s, and 67 Philips Vari-Lite VL3000 spots. "The Sharpy fixtures really helped reshape the show," says Marleau. "I started playing with them earlier this year and found they could really help us, especially in a club scene at 10pm when we needed the extra brightness. The MAC 101 was the real little workhorse to give me a base color. I'd like to have about 150 of them next year. I am also a big fan of Vari-Lite and really like their optics." Epic Production Technologies provided the rig, which also included 20 Altman Lighting Fresnels, 20 VL2500 Spots, 15 VL2500 Wash units, 16 MAC 700 Profiles, 25 High End Systems Studio Colors, six Lycian M2 followspots, ETC Sensor+ dimmers, and six Philips Strand 240V power distros.
Eight Reel EFX DF-50 Diffusion hazers and eight Martin Jem ZR33 Hi-Mass units provided fog all around the stage. "We never know which way the wind is coming from and hope we can hold the fog," Marleau notes, adding that he lights to the music. "The show is very cue-heavy, maybe 1,200 to 1,300 cues in a 77-minute show. There is not a specific palette; for the more rock 'n' roll numbers, we just go from pretty picture to pretty picture."
For a number with young Chinese acrobats, the look was cartoony and kid-friendly in pastels, from pink to a dash of fuchsia, and soft puffs of color in the light boxes. For a Japanese lariat act, a kung-fu anime feel permeated the video, its colors supported in the lighting.
Another scene featured an animated eagle with a 60' wingspan and native hoop dancers on its neck, with a large mirror ball that was flown in during a more modern music section (the likes of Lady Gaga). "Usually, the music is more dated, but this year, they wanted a more modern soundscape," explains Marleau. "Our composer is David Pierce, who also composed for the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 and serves as sound designer as well."
Marleau worked closely with video director Jamie Nesbitt on the coordination of looks and color. Much of the video content was created in Adobe After Effects with playback via Dataton Watchout, with images seen on 120 18mm Mesh LED panels by MVI Multi Vision Inc., used for original content and I-Mag.
"This is a huge outdoor spectacle, and we want a different look every year," says Marleau. "You always have to find new tricks in your hat and see what you can bring to the table to change your game."

Culdrose runway to become running track for Santas
4:42pm Monday 3rd December 2012 in Helston
December has arrived and so too has the Santas on the Run event in Helston.
The final countdown is on for Children's Hospice South West's fun festive fundraiser that takes place at RNAS Culdrose this Sunday, December 9.
Hundreds of Santas will take to the runway to walk, jog or run the 2km route and raise funds to support their local children's hospice Little Harbour at St Austell.
Mary Murfin, local community fundraiser for Little Harbour, said: "This is the first time such an event has been held at RNAS Culdrose and is a unique opportunity to join a host of other Santas for a jaunt around the home of the Royal Navy's Merlin helicopters.
"What a sight it will be to see hundreds of Santas painting the airbase red and white. Mums, dads, children, toddlers, grannies and grandads can all take part, so why not get your family, friends, or work colleagues together and join us for a belly-full of laughs and seasonal jolliness?"
Everyone taking part in the Santas on the Run event will receive their very own Santa suit to run in and a medal on completion of the run.
Registration starts at 10am, at the public viewing area cafe, where the participants will get suited and booted as they are kept entertained with festive music by the CuldRoses Miltary Wives and Royal Naval Volunteer Band.
The Santas will then be gathered at 11.45am for a warm up by Helen Tite of Falmouth's The Core.
At midday it will be "on your marks, set, ho ho ho" as the Santas start the 2km circular run, jog or walk.
Registration costs £10 for adults, £5 for under 16s and is free for under threes, with a family ticket of two adults and two children costing £25. Children under the age of 16 must have parental consent and be accompanied by an adult who is also running.
For more information or to sign up visit www.chsw.org.uk/santas or call 01726 871800.

Some 10,000 pounds of documents and artifacts arrived at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's American Geographical Society Library (AGSL) this February, delivered from New York City.
The archives include stacks of hand-written letters that pre-date typewriters and a leather-bound notebook long ago abandoned in the Arctic. There is a 13-star flag that just might have been waving on-board Charles Wilkes' ship, when the American explorer first laid eyes on the ice of Antarctica between 1838-1841.
There are photographs—one picturing Charles Lindbergh, possibly taken in Wisconsin. "Though more research is needed," says AGSL curator Chris Baruth.
The archives include medals commemorating some of America's greatest expeditions and explorers. One memorializes the first crossing of the Polar Sea in 1926; another honors Richard Byrd as the first man to fly over both the North and South Poles.
Also unpacked and dusted off are several diaries from Robert Peary's return to the North Pole after his claim to be the first to reach it in 1909 and a piece of wood from the keel of Peary's ship, the S.S. Roosevelt.
Baruth describes these as just a few of the many treasures offering a glimpse into the American Geographical Society (AGS) archives that now are reunited with the full AGS library after more than three decades apart.
"This is definitely a bonus for the university as it really completes the AGS Library," says Baruth.
Archives make for "one stop shopping"
When UWM was chosen to house the AGS library in 1978 after a nationwide selection process by the Society, it came with more than one million items—half of which are maps and charts. The archives had remained in New York up until this point, at times proving a difficult arrangement for researchers.
"What we've been finding out through the years is that so much of what's in the archives relates to what we have in our library here," Baruth says.
For example, Inuit sketches from the early 1900s are part of the archives. But, they also go hand in hand with an Inuit map of the Belcher Islands in Hudson Bay that was already at the AGS Library. Baruth says all were drawn by memory for Robert Flaherty, who created the 1922 silent documentary "Nanook of the North."
Yet, with such prizes comes at least a little pain: Senior academic librarian Susan Peschel expects to spend years organizing the archives. Dozens of file cabinets, boxes and shelves currently hold the invaluable resources.
"I think the size and the scope (is the most overwhelming part); there's a lot of material here," says Peschel. "People who have research interests in things that we can only imagine will find this material and use it. That's why it needs to be processed well."
Ultimately, the AGS archives will be cataloged, scanned and accessible. Right now, they're a new point of pride for UWM's AGS Library.
"People come here (from around the world) because of what we have. We expect now that we have this, there'll be even more people coming and wanting to visit us," Baruth says.
You can visit the AGS Library on the third floor, east wing of the UWM Golda Meir Library.
You can also visit www4.uwm.edu/libraries/AGSL/ for more information and to browse online digital photography and historical map collections.

1. Evaluate every room and ask yourself a few questions:
2. Invest in functional furniture that fits the style of your home. Whether you want a simple writing desk (ideal for a laptop computer) with a lap drawer for supplies, or a large desk with drawers for supplies and files, focus on function, and then decide whether the desk matches your décor. Use an ergonomically correct chair, instead of a kitchen table chair, to keep you from straining your back and neck.
3. Decide which of the five basic furniture arrangements for your home office is best for your space: L-shape, Parallel, U-shape, corner, or reverse corner arrangement. The arrangement you choose depends primarily on the size of your office, the type of furniture you have, and how much work surface you will need.
4. Be creative with file storage. Instead of using a grey, metal file cabinet to store your files, consider other options. You could store files in a wooden or wicker ottoman, below a window seat with file frames inside the drawers, or inside a decorative wooden trunk. A good way to keep files you use often nearby is by using a desk with at least two deep file drawers.
5. Save space within your home office by using multifunction or "all-in-one" equipment that prints, copies, scans and faxes documents in color. The smaller footprint (and often low price) of these machines makes them ideal for most space-challenged home offices.
6. Add a simple bookcase or install shelves to get books and information off the floor. You can also use shelves to hold magazines and office supplies in decorative containers.
7. Design your office to reflect your taste, interests and style. Your home office doesn't have to resemble your old corporate office. One of my clients, an avid sports fan, framed signed jerseys from various players and hung them throughout his home office.
8. Before you share a home office with your spouse, consider whether you have compatible working styles. One of my clients likes to keep all of his papers out on the desk, while his spouse likes to file everything. By adding another desk for his spouse to use, we've made sharing an office easier for both of them.
9. If you are going to meet with clients at your home, set up a space within your home office or next to your office to meet. One of my clients, an accountant, used the dining room next to his home office for client meetings. His family used the dining room twice a year, so the space was clutter-free and available anytime.
10. Set a specific time to work in your home office each day. It's easy to get sidetracked on your way to work, even if your commute lasts only a few seconds. Be flexible, but have an idea of when you want to work in your home office every day. Otherwise, before you know it, it will be noon and you'll still be doing laundry, emptying the dishwasher or handling other personal tasks.
Thanks, Lisa! Nice list of reminders. I've worked from home for years and I agree you do need to think it through instead of just plunking your computer on a table and then letting the chaos grow up around you as you get busy. Taking time to consider where you'll put files even before you have that much paperwork to deal with means you'll be able to grow your business seamlessly.
