Once again this fall, Thursdays at Shelter Cove Harbour mean live music, beautiful sunsets and lots of food and drink! The Music on the Harbour concert series, which brought big crowds to the popular shopping and dining village overlooking Broad Creek last fall and earlier this spring, will return in October for four Thursdays.
From 6-9 p.m., October 3, 10, 17 and 24, local bands will take the stage at Shelter Cove. Get out your dancing shoes and dance the night away as the sun sets behind you over Broad Creek. The Headliners will perform October 3 & 17, while Target Band will entertain on October 10 & 24.
While there's always plenty of dining available at Shelter Cove Harbour when you're ready for dinner, a new addition this fall is Taste on the Harbour which will run at the same time as the concert series. Shelter Cove restaurants will provide small plates of food by Neptune Statue for a sampling of what they have to offer. There will also be drink specials, including $3 beers, $4 wines and $5 cocktails.
The event is entirely free to attend, though it is weather dependent. Stay tuned to the Palmetto Dunes Facebook page and Twitter account for updates and cancellations. Additionally, no coolers or outside food are allowed at the event.
Here's a video of last fall's Music on the Harbour event to give you a sneak peak of the fun you can expect:
See you at Shelter Cove this fall!
Shooting your age is a coveted accomplishment for any golfer, because it not only means you've lived a relatively long life, but that you're still a pretty good golfer. Leo Luken, 95, a longtime player at the Hilton Head golf courses at Palmetto Dunes, where he lives, recently reached that feat for an incredible 1000th time. On Tuesday, September 24, Luken shot 47-45 for 92 at the George Fazio golf course.
Luken didn't start playing golf until the age of 45 and shot his age for the first time at 71. He plays golf several times a week and usually shoots his age – or better – two out of three rounds. Formerly a pitcher for the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Zollner Pistons, he holds a spot in the Kentucky and Indiana sports halls of fame.
Luken participated in the Shoot Your Age Championship in Florida 2005, which aired nationally on CBS, shooting his age for the 530th time and bettering his age by six shots. He ended up winning the tournament, besting even Arnold Palmer.
"Yeah, [one of the players] thought I was lying," says Luken. "Before we teed off the first day down at the championship, he was walking around introducing himself and asking guys how many times they'd shot their age. One guy said 12, and another said 30. When he got to me, I said, '529,' which was the number at that time. [He] threw up arms and said, 'Get outta here.' The next day I made it 530 and won the tournament."
Have you ever shot your age? Do you think you could do it 1000 times? Here's hoping you can, just like Leo Luken!
If you want to give it a shot, our 30-day Hilton Head golf membership is a good place to start. It gives you plenty of chances to hit the mark!

No receiver on the Jets has been targeted more this season than TE Dustin Keller, who was thrown to 87 times in the first 13 games. But even with all the attention he's received from QB Mark Sanchez, Keller has tended to disappear in games recently, one of the reasons for the team's struggles in the passing game over the past month.
The third-year pro started off the season as Sanchez's go-to guy, highlighted by a 7-115-1 performance in Week Two, followed by back-to-back games in which he scored two touchdowns in each. Since then, Keller has rarely been a major factor, catching no more than four passes in any game since Week Three and not finding the endzone since Week Four. The emergence of WR Santonio Holmes has contributed in part to the tight end's decrease in big plays, but offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said that it has been their opponents' adjustments that have led to the slip in Keller's statistics.
"Obviously defenses know where Dustin is. (Miami) did a good job of putting a corner on him most of the time," Schottenheimer said of the team's Week 14 game vs. the Dolphins. "There were other times when he was open and we got the ball to him. There were other times he was open and we missed him in the progression."
The latter of the coach's issues is a concern for the Jets. Sanchez has struggled in recent weeks to complete passes, oftentimes missing receivers who had created separation from defenders. In the team's consecutive losses to the Patriots and Dolphins, the quarterback completed just 44 percent of his throws (34-of-77) and tossed four interceptions to no touchdowns. No player highlighted those troubles more than Keller, who was targeted 16 times in the two games but came up with only six catches.
"We just hit a little dry spell here on offense," the second-year QB said. "We'll get it fixed, and it's my job to pinpoint exactly what it is. I have a pretty good feeling that a lot of it is me and it's got to get better."
For a team that has had trouble lately protecting the quarterback and running the ball, the obvious way for Sanchez and the Jets to turn it around would be to not only target but complete passes to Keller more often.

Graduation and Certification
To successfully complete one of the teacher education certification programs (Early Childhood Education, Middle Grades, Middle Grade Post Baccalaureate, Secondary English, Secondary Mathematics, Secondary English Post Baccalaureate, or Secondary Mathematics Post Baccalaureate) the teacher candidate must pass the appropriate GACE Content State Licensure Examination prior to graduation. The GACE certification exam must be taken and passing scores documented prior to or during the teacher candidate's student teaching semester for the teacher candidate to be considered a Program Completer. Passing the GACE content assessment in the candidate's primary area of certification is required to graduate from the program.Visit www.gace.nesinc.com for more information.
- Early Childhood Education: Test Codes 001 and 002 (both are required)
- Middle Grades Education: (One test is required for your primary area of concentration)
- Middle Grades Language Arts Test Code 011,
- Middle Grades Mathematics Test Code 013,
- Middle Grades Science Test Code 014,
- Middle Grades Social Studies Test Code 015
- Secondary English Test Codes 020 and 021 (both are required)
- Secondary Mathematics Test Codes 022 and 023 (both are required)
Intent to Graduate Application
Program exit begins when the teacher candidate applies for graduation and certification.
In consultation with the candidate's faculty advisor, the candidate completes and submits the Intent to Graduate Application. After the candidate applies for graduation, the Registrar's Office conducts a graduation Degree Audit Report and certifies that the candidate has completed all requirements of the approved teacher education program, including passing the appropriate GACE Content State Licensure Examination, and is considered ready for graduation.
The Registrar issues a list of all program completers to the Coordinator of Field Experiences and Assessment, who uses the list to complete the paperwork required for recommending a teacher candidate for the appropriate Georgia certification.
Recommendation for Certification
The final step in the program exit process requires the teacher candidate to complete the Georgia PSC Certification Applicationand return it to the Coordinator of Field Experiences and Assessment. The Coordinator of Field Experiences and Assessment completes the Georgia PSC Approved Program Recommendation Form, selecting the appropriate certification decision. The unit's Certification Officer reviews each Georgia PSC Approved Program Recommendation Form and accompanying certification application and signs certifying the applicants recommended certification status.

If you're dating, particularly casually, it's important to have sex safely - whether you're having sexual intercourse, oral sex, or just using your hands. Practicing safe sex every time you have sex can help to protect you against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Making a commitment to have safe sex every time you have sex can also help you feel more confident in your sexual decision making. Safe sex may not be foolproof, but making the choice to practice it consistently also forces you to make a conscious decision to have sex instead of just letting it happen. That, along with the conversations that safe sex requires, is a great way to reduce the chance that you'll do something you regret.
Vaginal sex and anal sex are both types of sexual intercourse that can be made safer by using a condom. Here are some tips for making sexual intercourse safer:
- If you're using a male condom (detailed instructions here) to have safe sex, you should put the condom on as soon as your partner's penis becomes erect. Putting the condom on early will reduce the risk of passing on any diseases that are spread from skin-to-skin as well as the risk of forgetting to put one on later during your sexual encounter... when you are swept away by the heat of a moment.
- Female condoms can be inserted even earlier (detailed instructions here), although you may need to use a little lube both on the outside and on the inside.
- It is important to leave enough room at the tip of the condom for the person wearing it to ejaculate. Failure to leave room can increase the risk of condom breakage. For similar reasons, it's important to make certain that there is no air trapped in the tip of the condom when you first put the condom on.
- After the penetrative sexual partner has orgasmed (i.e. the person wearing the condom) they should make certain to hold the base of the condom as they are withdrawing their penis from their partner's body. This makes slippage less likely and decreases the odds of a condom failure.
- Always check the expiration date of the condom before you open the packet. You should also make certain that the condom package is intact by checking for the air bubble.
- It's a good idea to use a water- or silicone-based lubricant for intercourse. Proper lubrication reduces the risk of tearing and other damage during sex, which can reduce the risk of transmitting an STD. However, you may want to avoid lubricants that contain nonoxynol-9.
- Lubrication is important even if you're using lubricated condoms. Keeping a bottle of your favorite brand next to the bed is never a bad idea.
- If you start to put a condom on inside out, you should throw it out and start over again with a new condom. You shouldn't roll it off and try again.
Note: The techniques above can be used to make sexual intercourse safer no matter who you decide to have sex with - whether they have a biological penis or an artificial one.
Safe Sex for Oral Sex
Most people who decide to have sex don't only have sexual intercourse, and sexual intercourse isn't the only kind of sex that people should consider having safely. Safe oral sex is important as well, and there are several types of oral sex including oral-penile contact (fellatio/blow jobs) oral-vaginal contact (cunnilingus), and oral-anal contact (rimming). All of these types of oral sex carry some amount of STD risk, which can be reduced by having safe sex. Some tips for having safe oral sex include:
- Use unlubricated condoms or flavored condoms when giving your partner a blow job. Doing so can reduce the risk of diseases such as syphilis and herpes, which are spread by skin to skin contact during oral sex, as well as those such as gonorrhea that are spread by bodily fluids. You should put the condom on as soon as your partner becomes erect.
- When going down on a woman or engaging in oral-anal contact, it is also a good idea to use a barrier such as a dental dam - which you can either purchase from a sex supply store or make by cutting up a condom
- Putting lube on the back side of the dental dam, the side facing your partner, can make having safe oral sex much more enjoyable for both of you.
- Some sex toy companies make dental dam harnesses to make it easier to have hands-free safe oral sex.
Safe Sex for Fingering/Fisting
Although mutual masturbation and other ways that people have sex with their fingers and hands are less risky than ways of having sex when bodily fluids are exchanged, it doesn't mean they can't be made even safer. Using latex or nitrile gloves or finger cots can reduce the transmission of bacteria and other pathogens that can be found on the skin or under the nails. They can also reduce the risk of people transferring infections to themselves with their hands. Some things you should consider when you are using your hands to have sex include:
- If you are using your hands to penetrate your partner's anus and then their mouth or vagina, or their vagina and then their anus or mouth, it's a good idea to switch gloves.
- It is now possible to get latex and nitrile gloves in a wide range of colors. Some people find black or purple gloves to be much sexier than the standard white.
- If you have long nails, padding them with cotton before putting on a glove can reduce your risk of both scratching your partner and making a hole in the glove. Using gloves can thus also make it less necessary to cut your nails before using your hands to have sex.
- You can make your own finger cots by cutting the fingers off of latex or nitrile gloves.
- It's a good idea to use lubricant while having sex with your hands - whether you're penetrating your partner or giving them a hand job. Lubrication reduces the risk of chafing and skin damage, and it also makes sensations feel more slippery and more exciting.

Londoner dies in Nepal crash
Londoner Benjamin Ogden was one of seven British tourists who were among 19 people who died in a Nepal plane crash. The other British victims were named by travel company Sherpa Adventures as Raymond Eagle, Christopher Davey, Vincent Kelly, Darren Kelly, Timothy Oakes and Stephen Holding.
The group, who arrived in Nepal on Wednesday and were due to begin trekking today, were travelling with Hampshire-based travel company Explore Worldwide. Oxford University graduate Mr Ogden lived in London and worked for law firm Allen & Overy, where he had recently qualified as an associate.
– Senior PR Manager Campbell McIlroy
Everyone at Allen & Overy is deeply shocked and saddened by the news that Ben Ogden was one of 19 people who were tragically killed in a plane crash in Nepal this morning.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends. As well as being an excellent lawyer, Ben was a very popular member of the firm.
Ben had recently qualified and it was clear to everyone that he had an incredibly promising career ahead of him. Ben will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

I have a Midlet that makes periodic Http requests to a servlet.
Every time the Midlet wants to connect to GPRS, the phone (Nokia 7650/Nokia3650) asks the user to choose form an access point list.
How can i avoid the Access Point Pick List?
My access point ('accesspointname') is configured for:
'Session Mode=Permanent'
On the application settings, I have the same access point configured, and the application configuration is using:
Settings -> Default access point -> 'accesspointname'
Settings -> Settings -> Access point -> 'accesspointname'
Settings -> Settings -> Network connection -> 'Allowed'
Do I need to use any specific HTTP connection par¨¢meter to avoid the tedious pick-list question?
Thanks in advance,

Contact: Douglas Gardner, (207) 581-2846; Stephen Shaler, (207) 581-2886; Aimee Dolloff, (207) 581-3777
ORONO – Researchers at the University of Maine's AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center recently were issued a patent for technology that could change the way we build homes and other structures, while cutting the economic losses caused by natural disasters.
The invention is an improvement to Oriented Strand Board (OSB) that's used in the majority of single family homes in North America, as well as a significant portion of multi-family, commercial and industrial facilities. Primarily it's used as sheathing for roofs, walls and floors, but the existing material does have some drawbacks.
While OSB has become the dominant wood-based sheathing material used in construction over the last 20 years, displacing plywood, the OSB has certain disadvantages, such as high vulnerability to thickness swelling and water absorption.
The new technology increases OSB's resistance to high winds and earthquakes, but also contains a coating which both hinders water uptake and prevents the boards from swelling.
UMaine wood sciences and technology professors Douglas Gardner and Stephen Shaler are the lead inventors on the patent. Post doctoral research associates Ciprian Pirvu, Lech Muszynski and Jungil Son also worked at AEWC when the initial work for the patent was done from 2001 to 2003.
In their patent documents, the inventors note that the economic losses from natural disasters in the United States have averaged about $1 billion per week in recent years.
Roof sheathing often flies off in the turbulent hurricane winds, and the problem often has been attributed to improper fastening of the sheathing to the framing, many times causing the entire roof to fail. Without the protection of a roof, water damage often follows.
One potential application for the multifunctional OSB panel would be to eliminate the problem of roof shingle "telegraphing" in roof systems. This occurs when conventional OSB panels experience edge swell under shingles in a roof system and the outline of the panels can be seen on the roof of the building.
"This is an aesthetic problem that might benefit from our technology," says Gardner.
Surveys also show that a significant portion of the damage resulting from hurricanes or earthquakes occurs in nonstructural parts of the home because of the movement of the structure. The cost to repair nonstructural damage often makes it necessary to rebuild the structure rather than to repair it.
While there are building codes in place to minimize the damage from natural disasters, regulations often are misunderstood and enforcing compliance is difficult because it's not easy to inspect for these internal building practices.
UMaine's technology reduces edge swelling of the OSB while simultaneously improving its ability to stay fastened in place when installed properly.

To eliminate any potential disaster on your first ice cream try, start out with a recipe that doesn't call for an egg yolk or custard base. That way, you won't have to worry about your egg yolks curdling or scrambling, or the lengthy cooling time that follows. While gelato and frozen sorbet contain eggs, ice cream in its purest incarnation actually doesn't. This light, airy ice cream incorporates the rich flavors of maple syrup and walnuts with cream and a touch of milk. Beginners, if you're interested, keep reading for the basic recipe.
From In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite by Melissa Clark
Ridiculously Easy Maple Walnut Ice Cream
2/3 cup maple syrup, preferably grade B
2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup whole milk
Large pinch kosher salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- Toast walnuts: Cook walnuts in a skillet at medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Make ice cream: In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring the maple syrup just to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer to thicken for 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the cream, milk, and salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool to room temperature, then chill until quite cold, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- Freeze ice cream: Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. When the ice cream is almost at the desired consistency, stir in the nuts and continue freezing for another 5 minutes. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and store in the freezer.
Makes 1-1/2 pints.

This session with Nellie McKay was an unexpected pleasure.
Not that we didn't expect her performance to be delightful -- we just didn't expect to have her in at all. McKay was in town for an eTown taping, and within just three hours of inviting her in after her arrival in Boulder, she was charming us with her ukulele and arresting voice.
McKay has an impressive resume. Her latest project, I Want to Live!, is the musical story of Barbara Graham, the third woman to die in the gas chamber at San Quentin, and it had the New York Times raving. Her other albums earned her appearances on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," among a slew of other talk shows. We won't even try to list all of the TV shows that have featured her music. In fact, there's so much more, you should read her bio for yourself.
She's also a big environmental activist; Ashley discussed this with her in her Garage interview. Check it out at secondstorygarage.com, along with her performances of "Bluebird," "Adios" and "Caribbean Time."
What they brought us: This was so last minute, we didn't get anything but her lovely presence. And we're more than thrilled with that.

"Really loved this design and the ability to customize the back with a small photo in the center and writing below! Also the regular envelopes instead of the square were an option so did not have to pay premium postage to mail. Thanks! And will be back next year!"
"I have received so many compliments on this card, everyone thinks I applied a special treatment to my photo when it was really built into this beautiful card. I upgraded to the pearl paper option and it adds an even greater wow factor."
"this card has an angelic feel to it.. truly simple but beautiful. i loved them so much - i ordered more once i received them!"
"I really loved that once you add a photo the filters just alter the photo and voila, it's done. I didn't have the best photos this year for our holiday card, but this layout did wonders! I also really appreciate that you can add text or photos on the back of the card. Just perfect."
"So pleased with these cards. The color splotches on the bottom really add to the muted tones that the filter creates. I chose the glitter paper option and it also added the perfect soft sheen to the card. Highly recommend!"

The UFC's newest European acquisition, undefeated Welterweight Benjamin Brinsa, is denying any connection to nazi groups. Here's his statement via his publicist (via MMA.tv):
"I am not a neo-Nazi, never have been, never will be. At no time in my life have I ever made any xenophobic, anti-Semitic or racist statements, either in public or in private. Yes, I do have a past as a football hooligan in my youth, but that is a thing of the past as I have been solely focusing on my professional career for the past couple of years.
"My grappling coach and good friend Marcin Bandel hails from Poland and I have friends from all over the world. Next week, I will join a training camp with fighters from Bosnia, Brazil, Greece, Iraq, Italy, Morocco, Poland, Russia and Tunesia - do you think I had any interest in training with all these non-German athletes if I was a neo-Nazi?
"There is just no place for racism and xenophobia in an international, global sport like MMA."
UFC president Dana White has promised to investigate Brinsa's background before allowing him to step foot in the Octagon.

I heard from many residents that Montville was not listed on the program website so I called Town Hall to get some answers.
Finance Director Terry Hart said, despite the news release issued to begin running today informing folks about the new program, the cards will not be mailed till the end of the month and the CCM website will not be updated to include Montville also until towards the end of the month.
Original Story:
Beginning Monday, the Town of Montville will provide uninsured and underinsured Montville residents with a free prescription discount card that offers "steep savings" on prescription medicines, according to a press release issued by the town Friday.
The town is able to provide the cards through its association with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM), the statewide association of towns and cities. Montville is a member of CCM and this new program is only available to CCM member-communities.
In Connecticut, over 10 percent of Connecticut residents – nearly 360,000 people – currently lack health insurance and prescription plans and another 800,000 residents are underinsured. There are over 50 million uninsured individuals living in the United States.
What it is
Officially called the 'Town of Montville Prescription Drug Discount Card' helps residents save money on their prescription medications any time their prescription is not covered by insurance. This new prescription discount card will provide immediate fiscal relief at the pharmacy counter for uninsured and underinsured residents and offers the following features and benefits:
-- Anyone can participate regardless of age or income;
-- All prescription medications are covered including pet prescriptions that can be filled at a pharmacy;
-- There is no cost to the municipality or to participating residents;
-- Cost savings average 45% ;
-- There are over 63,000 participating pharmacies nationwide, including CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Stop and Shop, and Big Y, and many independent pharmacies;
-- Discounts are also offered on other medical services including vision, hearing and Lasik services.
"This is an important solution to a pressing issue that will assist residents in need across Montville," Mayor Ronald McDaniel said.
How it works
Each residence in Montville will receive a "Town of Montville Falls Prescription Discount Card" by direct mail which they may use at any participating retail pharmacy. Cards may be used by all town residents regardless of age, income or existing health coverage.

Jia Perkins scored 21 points and Danielle Adams added 18 to lead the Silver Stars to a 91-71 victory over the Tulsa Shock on Saturday night.
Sophia Young added 15 points and Becky Hammon 13 for San Antonio (17-6).
Riquna Williams led Tulsa (4-19) with 17 points and Ivory Latta added 15. They were the only two players in double figures.
Two days after having their 12-game winning streak snapped by the Sparks in Los Angeles, San Antonio extended its home winning streak to nine. The Silver Stars only loss at home came in their opener May 30 against Chicago.
San Antonio outscored Tulsa 47-25 in the second and third quarters in securing its ninth straight victory over the Shock.
Tulsa took its largest lead at 15-12 in the first on Latta's free throw to complete a four-point play. Latta was fouled on a 3-pointer by Robinson, although replays showed no contact.
Williams scored seven of Tulsa's final 10 points in the first quarter after entering with 4 minutes left. She hit a 3-pointer and sprinted for two layups, including one with 4 seconds left to pull within 27-25 after the first quarter.
The Silver Stars turned the tables to open the second quarter, using their speed to sprint by and around the Shock for an 11-2 run.
Perkins' free throw completed a three-point play after she was fouled on a layup. The play gave San Antonio a 36-27 lead and prompted a timeout by Shock coach Gary Kloppenburg.
The break did little to slow San Antonio. Adams scored San Antonio's next eight points following the timeout.
The Silver Stars extended their lead to as many as 23 points in the third quarter. They made four 3-pointers and outrebounded Tulsa 20-7 in the third.
Perkins' 3-pointer gave San Antonio a 70-50 lead with 2 minutes left in the third.

Prab will feature the key equipment of a chip-handling system, including the Model R tramp metal separator, diagonal-shaft wringer and vertical-axis crusher. It will also showcase the candle filter, a fluid filter designed to reduce operating costs and protect machining and grinding equipment while increasing throughput.
The Model R tramp metal separator removes bar-ends, broken tooling and other solids from the chip flow. Designed to protect processing equipment from damage, the separator is said to reduce labor costs, improve productivity, and enhance the work environment along with employee health and safety. The unit incorporates a blower and rotary air lock mounting to the wringer in feed conveyor. An adjustable air-flow panel enables customizable settings to optimize efficiency based on size and weight of the metal chips. Manual calibration enables customized settings to process very small solids from the chip flow. The separator is engineered to continuously handle metal scrap at rates as fast as 60 ft3/hr. (1.6 m3/hr.).
The separator is designed to work with the company's diagonal-shaft wringer, which uses up to 700 Gs of force and is said to reclaim as much as 98 percent of coolant and cutting oils from aluminum, brass, cast iron, steel, stainless steel and other metal chips. The fluids can be recycled back into the metalworking process. The wringer is said to reduce hazardous waste disposal costs while increasing scrap worth by producing more valuable dry chips.
The company's vertical-axis crusher is designed to reduce turnings and wads of material into shovel-grade chips, reconditioning the metal for further processing and recycling. The solids ejector automatically discharges bar-ends, maximizing uptime and protecting equipment. The crusher can produce material up to 4,000 lbs/hr. (1,814 kg/hr.) and is said to reduce the amount of material, decreasing the required storage space.
More technology – a lot more!
IMTS 2014 will be the year's largest showcase of new product technologies and new process innovations. If you're looking for machining, tooling, systems, software, solutions and more, you'll find it at IMTS 2014.

Hotel tax: Menlo Park challenges ballot language
Original post made on Sep 2, 2012
Read the full story here Web Link posted Thursday, August 30, 2012, 1:35 PM
on Sep 2, 2012 at 6:19 pm
Menlo Park is a very desirable destination city. We have two types of hotels:
1) Luxury Hotels such as the Stanford Park and the Rosewood, and
2)Hotels that compete on price such as the Mermaid Inn
The Menlo Park Luxury hotels compete against the Four Seasons in East Palo Alto, the Garden Court in Downtown and the Westin Palo Alto.
The Mermaid Inn's competition are the price concious hotels in Redwood City.
By having a lower TOT rate than the surrounding communities makes Menlo Park a more desirable hotel destination than East Palo Alto, Palo Alto and Redwood City. What little is lost on the TOT rate is more than made up by our sustained volume.
We don't want to see our TOT revenues decline because we have unilaterally forfeited our TOT rate advantage.
This is not the time to be greedy. This is the time to be smart. We need to be focused on maximizing TOT revenues not maximizing TOT rates. If we raise the TOT rates we will see a dispoportionate decline in hotel bookings which will result in less TOT revenues. We don't want to give away our competitive TOT rate advantage.
Keeping the TOT at 10% is a win-win for the City of Menlo Park and our local hotels.
on Sep 2, 2012 at 6:46 pm
I hate to tell you this, but when most people book a hotel room they don't pay any attention to what the hotel taxes are. Maybe you do because [portion deleted. Please don't attack posters], but no one else does. We book our rooms based on location and the base rate. Don't believe me? Go on line and book a room. See when the room taxes show up.
Raise the tax. I will have no effect on booking rates.
on Sep 2, 2012 at 8:36 pm
I'm with Menlo Voter, [portion deleted]. I've never seen the tax until I pay the bill. Hank should find a new hobby.

vacation rental description
This brand new beach house is located in a new eco-friendly development on the west coast of
Nicaragua in an area known as the "Pacific Riviera" and is only 2 Hours from Managua International
Airport! It has become a popular vacation destination as here you can have it all - surf, sand,
ocean, private swimming pool, wildlife and endless activities - all within a private and secure
gated community!
Your rental house is large (over 3,000 square feet!) and you have your own private infinity pool
that looks directly out over the grand, Pacific Ocean. You can even see the shining coastline of
Costa Rica from nearly every room in the house!
Best of all your private, gated community has its own secluded, white sand beach which is just a few
steps away from your house (only a 30 second walk), with gentle waves that are fun yet safe for your
whole family! One beach over (a short walk or drive) and you and your friends are in a quaint,
charming fishing village called Gigante that has its own gorgeous white sand beach, and larger waves
that are great for beginning surfers.
Time in this village moves as slowly as the incoming tide. Take some time to search for shells, join
a game of pickup soccer on the beach with the locals, or cool down with some body surfing in the
ocean. The only big decisions you have to make here are which spectacular beach side restaurant you
should choose to dine at as you watch the glowing sun set over the Pacific horizon, or whether to
have fresh lobster, fish, or locally grown chicken or beef for dinner.
Tomorrow you can go another beach over and surf the big waves with the experts (or watching them
surf) - the Colorado Pipeline attracts surfers from all over the world who come to experience this
long, rolling barrel wave!
This place is paradise! There are endless local activities. Take your family or friends on a safe
(yet thrilling) canopy tour and fly through the air while enjoying spectacular ocean views!
Choose a magical horse ride on the beach! Go golfing or fishing! Set aside an afternoon to go
snorkeling or even scuba diving. Take a day and go sailing down the coast. Visit nearby Spanish
Colonial towns rich in culture and dine, shop, or sip a local fresh fruit juice and watch the clouds
form on a distant volcano.
This green, eco-friendly development has preserved the surrounding wildlife, making it a giant real-
world terrarium for children and nature lovers alike! Watch friendly monkeys eat from the fruit
trees next to the deck of your house! Watch flocks of pelicans fish the ocean right from your own
private poolside!
Watch a bright green parrot fly and perch next to you as you enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the
veranda. Watch spectacular, breathtaking sunsets. Grab a flashlight and your camera and find sea
turtles nesting right on your own private beach!
If you google "safest country in Central America" you will soon learn that Nicaragua boasts the
lowest crime rate of any Central American country! Plus, you will feel extra safe knowing your
community is gated and guarded 24 hours per day.
When it comes to sleeping, this Villa offers sleepy surf sounds from every bedroom, and can sleep 13
in 8 beds!
Master Bedroom: Kingsize Bed
Bedroom # 2: Fullsize & Twin
Bedroom # 3: Queen, Full, and Single
Bedroom # 4: Queen
Living room: Single Convertible Day Bed
You will learn after your plane touches down in Managua that you have reached the land of tremendous
value, where travel, food, rentals, and activities are only a fraction of what they would be
elsewhere! You will feel like you are traveling back in time, as you can buy a soda for only 30
cents, a delicious lobster dinner for only $6.00, and take a canopy tour for only $25! Rental cars
and rental properties are also extremely inexpensive.
Choose this beachside villa and experience Nicaragua in style!

Your House
Changes In Attitude is a beautiful one-story house just a short walk from the beach; in fact, the path to the beach is right outside! It's also very close to the tennis courts and the pool. You're never far from where you want to be.
Coming back from the beach, for your convenience, one of the 3 bathrooms is located downstairs. So you'll never have to track sand into the house! Once refreshed, head upstairs, go inside, pour yourself a cold beverage, and plan your evening. Will you watch the cable TV, see that movie on DVD you ve been looking forward to, maybe listen to some music on the stereo CD player? Cook dinner on the charcoal grill or in the huge kitchen, and perhaps dine on the screened-in deck while enjoying the exquisite view? Surf the wireless Internet? How about curling up with a good book or a nice conversation in front of the fireplace? (Yes, fireplace!)
At the end of your day, it's time for bed. You'll want to keep the King-sized bed for yourself, of course, but there are three Queen beds for the rest of your family and friends.
By the way, your furry friends can use some Changes In Attitude, too, so it's great to know that both the house and the beach are pet-friendly.
Morgantown is an upscale beach community located just fifteen minutes west of Gulf Shores. The community is strict about their appearance; all houses are in pastels colors, the yards are beautifully kept, and the utilities are buried. There are two swimming pools and two tennis courts to enjoy and a gorgeous pet-friendly beach. Be prepared to relax and have tons of fun!
By the way, do you love golf? Mellow Yellow just happens to be next door to the world famous Kiva Dunes Golf Club, a winner of numerous Golf Digest awards. And just down the street the Peninsula Golf Club, with 27 beautifully manicured holes. Both world-class resorts are waiting for you to play!
Gulf Shores
Gulf Shores is known for its beautiful white sandy beaches, warm sunshine, excellent golf, restaurants, shopping, and family-friendly activities. Reward yourself today! Come on down to Gulf Shores and enjoy the friendly people, excellent restaurants, the sand, and the surf. We know you'll have the time of your life.
Prices include everything except Alabama state sales tax, a $50 reservation fee, a small house cleaning fee of $125 and a linen charge ($25/bedroom and $10/bathroom) - which includes all your linens, bath towels, toilet paper, paper towels and even little soaps at all of the sinks. There is also a small amount of clothes detergent, dish liquid and dish washer soap.
To protect your investment, we also offer trip insurance from an AAAAA rated insurance company. We highly recommend you give it your consideration because, if you would have to cancel your trip for any reason, you'd receive a full refund for your rental.

Video has 'largest impact' on business networks
Video currently has the biggest impact on business networks, according to network solution providers. This includes video in all its forms – including live, collaboration and streamed. Google recently announced that its video-sharing service YouTube had surpassed four billion video views worldwide every day.
Due to the greater demand on the network, IBM said that it is seeing a trend among its customers for networking services to be integrated into projects. "We are seeing a change in the scale and scope of projects. More and more customers are asking us to include network services rather than as a standalone requirement," said Daniel Rendell, enterprise services leader at IBM Global Technology Services.
According to Rendell, IBM is seeing more investment in the network by organisations than 24 months ago. He said that the most successful business cases for investment in the network were those that were focussed on the business benefits, rather than on the IT. However, Mark Urban, senior director of WAN optimisation solutions at network management company Blue Coat Systems, said that companies still need to have a good idea of the network impact so that they can justify the investment.
"The world on the network has become so complex that it makes it more difficult to understand what the allocation of the budgets are," Urban warned. "A US federal customer was talking to us about the growth in bandwidth demand, and how he owned the WAN budget. He couldn't make a case for expanding the network service because he couldn't explain how the bandwidth was going to different mission-critical applications," he said.
