(EXT: London, England- Edmund's Creepy Castle)
--Ashton sits in the living room, on the phone, and learns of Eden, Kirk, and Pearl's impending arrivals. He smiles and says that it's time that everything be put in place so he, Kelly, and everyone else can live "happily" ever after. Kelly enters the room, able to catch the last part of his sentence, and he hurries off the phone.
"Happily ever after huh? I thought that was already decided on our wedding day, Mr. Lavery."
"Oh, it was, it was, Mrs. Lavery. I just got some news that should delight you and perhaps give you some pleasure during your downtime on our extended stay here in London. I'm sure you're about tired of my father, Christine, and all the construction on the East Wing by now."
"Actually, I find your father quite fascinating. A bit mysterious, but he never ceases to hold my interest. So......what is this happy news that is supposed to bring me such delight?"
"Your sister is actually on your father's jet, on her way to London right now. I've invited her....and her friends to stay here with us. At the castle."
"Oh? And what friends are you talking about? Julia? Mary?"
"Actually, they're both men. Pearl Bradford, that old friend of yours and my #1 fan, and Kirk Cranston."
"KIRK CRANSTON? Eden is coming HERE.....with Kirk Cranston? What the hell would possess her to bring that man here....let alone on daddy's jet?"
"I sense there's some sort of history there."
"Oh, not much. Just that they were married years ago. And he attempted to kill her. Multiple times. And gaslight her. And kidnapped her...and Cruz....again, multiple times."
"Doesn't sound like the ideal travel companion."
"My point exactly. It's all so strange. Why would Eden leave her children, Cruz's parents, and daddy, to come to London with Kirk Cranston, of all people?"
"Sounds like you'll have plenty to discuss over dinner tonight. They should be arriving before then and I've asked Christine to prepare a special meal for all of us....and our guests."
"Guests?" Edmund says, entering the room.
"Yes, father, guests. Kelly's sister, Eden, and a couple of her friends will be arriving later. I hope you don't mind that I've taken the liberty of inviting them to stay here. I figure there's plenty of room for everyone. It is a CASTLE, after all."
"Kelly, would you be so kind as to give my son and I a moment alone?"
"Of course. Obviously my husband here should have discussed this with you first. You've been very gracious to let us stay here as long as you have. I hope you don't feel too put out that Ashton here has invited my sister and her.....friends to stay. He's just trying to make me happy is all, as he always does. I'll go and get a cup of tea from Christine in the kitchen. Would either of you like anything?"
"Nothing at all my dear, the privacy will be quite enough."
Kelly exits the room, muttering to herself about Eden, Kirk, and :Pearl being the oddest of combinations. Back in the living room, Edmund glares at his son.
"Just what are you up to? It's been hard enough keeping Kelly away from her mother....now you've got her sister coming as well? Just what in the devil are you up to?"
"I suggest you listen and listen good. If you want this charade of a life that you've created for yourself and your pod in the East Wing to continue, you'll do everything that I ask of you tonight. Otherwise, I'll expose you to the Capwell girls, who will surely go running to daddy...."
"You wouldn't dare. You wouldn't risk your marriage to Kelly Capwell, that I know."
"You're right, I wouldn't. And you'll understand things as they unfold today. You just do exactly as I say or this whole thing will blow up in your face tonight father. Do I make myself clear?"
"Why you little.....just who do you think you are speaking to me this way? How dare you assume that I would go along with this, risk everything FOR...my God, if your mother were alive...."
"I thought she was. Upstairs. In her private bedroom. Isn't that the double entendre you're leading right now? You're just going to have to trust me for now father. As for now, I must be going. I have some business to attend to. Please, keep Kelly entertained while I'm gone. She seems to find you.....fascinating. If only she knew just how interesting the life you're really leading right now really is...."
Ashton exits and as he leaves, Edmund takes out his phone and dials Pamela.
"We've got trouble. Big trouble."
(EXT: Lionel and Augusta's London Flat)
--Augusta sits in her satin robe, staring at her husband across the breakfast table. Clearly uncomfortable, she attempts to break the ice.
"Well that went rather smoothly yesterday."
"Those aren't the words I'd use if I were you, Augusta. How dare you keep this from me for as long as you have. How dare you!"
"How dare I? After what that woman and your tawdry affairs with her have done to me over the years, you should consider yourself lucky I clued you in at all."
"Yes, lucky. I couldn't care less about Sophia and the last thing I want is for you to go waltzing down memory lane with her. But, I did the noble, unselfish thing and told you the truth. I thought you'd be rather proud of me."
"Yes, proud. What is with these one word inquisitions you're spitting at me? If I had my way, that woman would have stayed dead and buried where she belonged. Ironic, though, isn't it. Here we are, 34 years later, and it's 1979 all over again. Sophia is operating under a false name, with no previous recollection of her old life, Marcello is her only confidante....it's de ja vous. Only this time...well, I'm not quite sure I understand the logistics of it. She didn't fall off a yacht for pete's sake, she was pronounced dead. By Saint Mary Duvall of all people and there's no way Sister Mary would lie about this sort of thing. You have to give credit where credit is due....Edmund has pulled off quite the caper here. I think you'd rather enjoy his torturing of CC, if it didn't involve you're quintessential love, Sophia, that is. And here I am, allowing you to play hero to the tawdry slut you cheated on me with and created that.....circus performing son of your's with. And the only reason he's even alive is because your mother switched the babies all those years ago. Otherwise, Sophia would have shot your only child with her."
"Thank you, Augusta, for the refresher course and the lovely walk down memory lane. Well one thing is clear- I couldn't get through to her. And if I can't get through to her...there's only one other man who can....CC!"
"Lionel, have you gone mad? Did you not listen to the history course that Marcello gave you? CC has a past with Loretta as well as Sophia. His involvement could make this situation more chaotic than it already is and worsen Sophia's condition, which God knows is the lassst thing you'd want to do."
"He has a right to know that his wife is alive, Augusta. Whether I like him, hate him, respect him, or not, he loves her and is grieving for her. It isn't right that we keep this from him."
Augusta walks across the table and hits Lionel on the back of the head.
"Would you get your brain wired back in, Lionel? We need to put Sophia first here and involving CC is only going to cause a bigger mess than this already is. I suggest that we at least wait until we here from Marcello before we do anything rash. Where is that "dame" of a mother of yours when I need her to talk some sense into you? We at least need to wait until we hear from Marcello first. At the very least, he did put that tracking device in the suitcase, so we'll know- Sophi--Loretta's--oh whatever the hell that tramp is calling herself's whereabouts are at any given time. Patience, dear. I doubt this is the last we've heard from Marcello."
(EXT: Lady DuMonde's Mansion)
--Ashton is greeted at the door by the butler and requests to see Marcello at once. Marcello swiftly enters the room and wonders aloud what Ashton could want with him. Ashton suggests that they talk somewhere in private. He explains that he accidentally stumbled into Sophia's room and realizes what his father has done and wants to right the wrong. Marcello admits to a knowing Ashton that he already knows about Sophia and is trying to jog her memory. Ashton quizzically asks if anyone else knows and Marcello tells him only Lionel and Augusta.
"Doesn't Sophia have a history with the Lockridges?"
"A long one- she had a forbidden love affair with Lionel for a good portion of her life."
"Well couldn't you use that and your hypnosis techniques to kick start her memory?"
"I've already thought of that and I tried it yesterday, but Sophia and Augusta exchanged words and Loretta....Sophia got cold feet. She's truly convinced that she's your mother."
"My mother-in-law is brainwashed into believing she's my mother. Sounds like something out of a soap opera."
"You'd think so, but this has happened before, and the last time it did, it caused insurmountable, permanent damage to the Capwells, especially to Channing, Eden, and CC"
"Of course. Well, if I could get you in to see her again tonight, do you think you could get Lionel to come alone?"
"I'm not sure. Augusta can be a handful and she'll want to come but.... I can try."
"Try you will, if you want to bring Sophia back. And you will succeed. You seem a smart man, Marcello. I'm sure you can come up with a good reason to bring Lionel to the castle on his own. Here"
Ashton writes down his phone number.
"This is my cell number. You call me when you're on the way. Try to make it around 7:30, as we will all be at dinner at that time and it will be much easier to sneak you into the mansion."
"All of you?"
"Yes, my father, my wife, her sister..."
"Eden's going to be there?"
"Yes but she'll be at dinner. I haven't told Kelly or any of the Capwells about Sophia because.....well, because my wife has told me the sordid family history and I'd hate to put any of them through that again before Sophia realizes that she's....Sophia. I'm disgusted by what my father has done- it could damn well ruin my marriage and there's no way in hell I'm going to let that happen. You just follow my instructions and I'll make sure you're able to see Sophia. Now, I must be going, as my father will soon be wondering where I am. I was very careful not to be followed. I don't want him to have any idea that I know about this, nor that I'm helping you."
"I appreciate it Ashton You're doing a good thing."
"Yes well, I hope so and I do hope that everything goes as planned. Now as I said, I must be going."
Ashton sees himself out and immediately dials his phone.
"Ok, it's all set. I hope you're ready for everything that's about to happen."
The camera pans to a man in a suit, sitting in an office, without his face being shown.
A familiar, English accented voice is heard on the other line.
"Oh, I'm ready. I'm more than ready."
They hang up and the camera pans up to the mystery man.....

PREVIOUSLY on HEAVEN'S MEADOW:
Hayley: James:
(Hayley is standing on the ledge. Tears are streaming down her face. Her entire body shakes as she looks down at the road 23 stories below her. She inhales sharply and reaches one hand behind her, grabbing the railing. With her other hand, she raises the bottle of vodka to her lips and takes a sip. Her hands shaking uncontrollably, a large splash of vodka splashes onto her chin and robe. Sobbing, she throws the bottle behind her and hears as it smashes on the balcony. She wipes the makeup soaked tears from her eyes one last time, and lets go of the railing. Just as she begins to lose her balance, a hand reaches out and grabs her arm, steadying her.)
James: You can't do this, Hayley.
(She turns to look at him through her blurry, tear soaked eyes.)
Hayley: Oh, don't pretend to care.You don't even know me.
James: Maybe not, butI know damn well that I'm not about to let you jump off of this ledge.
(He reaches out and wraps his arms around her waist, lifting her over the railing and back onto the balcony.)
Hayley: Leave it to me to have a one night stand with someone that actually gives a damn.
James: You honestly expected me to let you jump?
Hayley: I didn't expect you to be awake.
James: Well, thank God I was.
Hayley: Just because you pulled me off of one ledge doesn't mean I won't find another.
James: Look, I don't know what's going on in your life, but I know that this isn't the answer.
Hayley: You're damn right. You don't know anything about my life. You have no idea what I go through every single day. And you have no business interfering in my personal life.
James: You can say whatever you want, but I don't have to know you. I don't have to know you, to know this isn't the answer. My mother killed herself when I was 5 years old, and it has haunted me for my entire life. And I know who you are, Hayley. I know you have children at home. And I'm not letting you do to them what my mother did to me. I'm not letting you take the coward's way out.
(Hayley slaps him across the face.)
Hayley: Don't you ever call me a coward. How dare you.
(At this point, tears are once again streaming down her face. She stumbles away from him, and inadvertently walks barefoot directly through the shattered glass on the ground. She winces in pain as blood begins trailing from her foot.)
(James moves towards her.)
James: Let me help you.
(Hayley looks up at him, a mixture of pain and hatred in her eyes.)
Hayley: You stay away from me.
(She limps backwards throw the doorway and into the hotel room. She grabs her purse from the chair, as well as her clothes from the ground, and stumbles from the room wearing nothing but a silk robe and her underwear.)
Blair: Jack:
(Inside Skye's club. Blair is standing with Jack and Billy.)
Blair: Excuse me?
Jack: This is Billy. He's my boyfriend.
Billy: It's nice to meet yo--
(Blair cuts him off.)
Blair: Jack, I don't have time for your games. I have a lot going on right now.
Jack: Mom, this isn't a game.
Blair: You were livid at me for sending you to boarding school, and even more angry that you had to stay for the summer program. And what do you do? You skip school and pull a stunt like this.
Jack: This isn't a joke, Mom.
Blair: You expect me to believe that you're gay? You expect me to believe that you skipped school and hitch-hiked to New Hampshire to tell me that you're gay?
Jack: Yes.
Blair: Well, I don't believe you.
(Her voice cracks. She turns and walks away from them, to the other side of the room. She picks up a stack of papers, and begins fumbling through them. Jack moves towards her.)
Jack: Mom, please. I need you to--
(Blair swivels around and cuts him off.)
Blair: Why now? If this is true - Why now? In the middle of your summer term, you show up and tell me you have a boyfriend? You could have waited a few weeks until I visited. But you expect me to believe your story, when you show up here and drop a bombshell like this? I know you, Jack. You're up to something.
(Jack is chocked up. He swallows the lump in his throat and chokes back tears.)
Jack: Mom, I couldn't take it anymore.
Blair: Take what?
Jack: The bullying.
(Blair is visibly taken aback by this. Blair and Jack lock eyes for a moment. Tears well up once more in Jack's eyes, and he turns away from his mother. He walks several feet to the other side of the room and sits at an empty table. Billy, still standing by the door, glances towards Jack, and then Blair. He moves across the room towards Blair.)
Billy: Jack and I met in chemistry class this past year. We became friends instantly, and eventually it progressed to more. I've been openly gay for about a year now, and once Jack and I became close, he felt comfortable enough with me to admit that he had been doubting his sexual orientation.
Blair: And you just swooped right in and took advantage of that?
(Jack stands, visibly angered by this remark.)
Jack: NO!
Billy: I never came onto Jack. But once he accepted it, we began to explore our feelings for one another.
Blair: Jack, when did you start having these...feelings?
Jack: Last year...For Shane. I know I treated him horribly, and that's why. When my friends started bullying him, I hated it. Because from the minute that I met him, I felt...something. Of course I was in denial about it, and so I started bullying him harder than anyone else so that no one would know. But I hated it, because I had...feelings for him. Everything that I did was to cover that up.
(Blair sighs and rests her head in her hand for a long moment.)
Blair: Well, what is this that you said about bullying?
Jack: It was late at night, and Billy and I were down by the water. We shared a kiss, but we didn't know anyone was around. Apparently one of the guys from the football team saw, and he told everyone. The next day I came back to my room after class and someone had broken in. My room had been completely trashed, and they spray painted...
(He stops.)
Blair: What, Jack? They spray painted what?
Jack: They spray painted the word fag on my wall.
(Blair is visibly horrified. A look of sheer heartbreak spreads across her face. In that moment, all denial that she had was wiped completely out of her.)
Blair: You're serious.
Billy: He is.
Blair: Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!
Jack: I didn't tell anyone, Mom. It would have only made things worse. But I couldn't handle it any more. The harassment was too much. Everywhere I went, they would call me names and mock me. I know I deserve it, after what I did to Shane...But I couldn't handle it, Mom.
(Blair stands. There are tears in her eyes now. She moves towards Jack, who also stands. She embraces him tightly for a long moment.)
Blair: I'm so, so sorry baby. Everything's going to be okay.
Tad: Lindsay:
(Inside Lindsay's apartment. She is standing near the door, with Tad. There is a suitcase next to her.)
Tad: I can't believe I just got back, and now you have to leave.
Lindsay: I know, but there's just something that I need to take care of. And now that you're officially living here, we'll see each other so much more. No more back and forth to Pine Valley.
(Tad smiles.)
Tad: Thank God.
(The two kiss.)
Tad: Where are you going again?
Lindsay: To Seattle, to see my sister. She's had some crisis or another, and asked me to come see her. Always the drama queen, that Melanie.I'll be back in two days, okay? There's food in the refrigerator for you, and plenty of towels in the linen closet. Oh, and--
Tad: Lindsay, I'll be fine! Go! Before you miss your flight.
(The two kiss again. Lindsay grabs her suitcase from the ground. She opens the door, and steps into the hall, closing the door behind her. Tad moves across the room and has a seat on the couch. He reaches for the remote, but before he can turn the TV on, his phone rings. He picks his phone up off of the end table and looks at the caller ID: "Call from: Dixie Martin"
Lindsay stands in the hallway. She opens her purse and takes out her plane ticket. It reads: DESTINATION: Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. She speaks quietly to herself.)
Lindsay: I hate lying to you, Tad. But it's time I pay an old friend a visit.
Hayley: Brianna:
Lucas: Skye:
Clint: Erica:
(Inside the WAVE Studios. Hayley sneaks in through a side entrance, still wearing nothing but underwear and the long silk robe - which is now tied. She creeps down the hallway and towards her dressing room. When she gets to her dressing room, she is surprised to see the door already open. She peers in and spots Brianna packing things into a large cardboard box. She enters the room.)
Hayley: What the hell are you doing?
(Brianna looks up, visibly stunned to see Hayley there.)
Brianna: Hayley...We didn't expect you to show up today. It's so late already.
Hayley: Don't deflect the subject Brianna. What the hell are you doing in my dressing room?
Brianna: I shouldn't be the one to tell you this...
(Before Brianna can finish, Hayley storms out of the room and down the hall into the large open room containing the set on which the show is filmed, as well as the camera crew, snack table and makeup touch up table. She spots Lucas on the other side of the room and marches towards him.)
Hayley: Lucas, what the hell is going on here? Why is Brianna packing things in my office?
Lucas: Hayley, I...I'm so sorry.
Hayley: Sorry for what? Lucas! What the hell are you talking about?
Lucas: You missed another day of taping, Hayley. I tried to defend you, I did. But...they've decided to let you go.
(A look of utter confusion spreads across Hayley's face for a long moment. Slowly, it morphs into realization, and then anger. Before she can continue speaking, Skye enters the room through a set of double doors across from where Hayley is standing.)
Hayley: You! You did this, didn't you?! You bitch. I asked you not to say anything.
(Skye looks genuinely sympathetic.)
Skye: I didn't do anything Hayley. This is out of my control.
Hayley: No, I don't believe you. No, you did this! You hypocritical bitch. I asked you. I begged you not to do this to me. I should have known you couldn't change.
(Before Skye can speak, Clint enters the room and begins speaking.)
Clint: Skye had nothing to do with it, Hayley. This was my decision.
(Hayley turns around slowly to face him.)
Hayley: Excuse me?
Clint: Your erratic behavior won't be tolerated anymore Hayley. It isn't benefiting the show or anyone involved, especially you. I'm very sorry, but you are being let go.
(Hayley slaps him across the face with all the force she has, leaving nail marks across his cheeks.)
Hayley: You bastard! You came to me. You came to me and told me you respected me, that you respected that this is MY show. But that was just a lie. It was nothing but a lie....You are just like the rest of them.
Clint: I know you're upset, Hayley. But this is your own doing.
(Tears well up in Hayley's eyes and cascade down her cheeks. She turns to storm out of the room but spots Erica Kane standing across the room. An evil glint fills her eyes as marches towards her. She shrieks.)
Hayley: YOU! This was your plan all along, wasn't it? Swoop in here and steal my show because you're such a complete failure yourself. I should have known better than to trust you. You truly are the shallow bitch everyone makes you out to be, Erica.
Erica: You should know I would never do that to you, Hayley.
Hayley: But you did. You did do it, Erica. You slutted your way through Pine Valley for 40 years, and once that well was dried up you decided to swoop in here and cash in on your own daughters death, at my expense.
(Tears well in Erica's eyes. Hayley opens her mouth to speak again, but Skye steps forward and in-between Erica and Hayley. She speaks.)
Skye: Don't do this, Hayley. Don't take this out on Erica, or anyone else. You've made some mistakes, but it's not to late to fix them.
(Hayley pushes Skye away from her and steps back.)
Hayley: Oh, shut UP Skye. I am so sick of your incessant preaching. You are an alcoholic, slut mob princess. And everyone in this family hates you. You may be a biological Chandler this week, but it doesn't mean anyone wants you. We have been pretending you didn't exist for decades, and you begging to be my safe place isn't going to get you back in the will, honey.
Skye: I've been where you are, Hayley. I know saying those things makes you feel better, but it isn't helping. You need to snap out of this denial --
(Hayley cuts her off.)
Hayley: Oh, honey. I'm not in denial!
(She opens her purse and pulls out a flask.)
Hayley: Ladies and gentleman, Hayley Vaughan is off the wagon! And I am loving every damn minute of it!
(She uncaps the flask and takes a swig before recapping it and putting it into her purse. She turns to walk away. She moves towards the stairs, but before she can walk down them, Skye chases after her. Skye grabs her arm.)
Hayley: Let go of me, Skye!
(Hayley jerks forward, attempting to break Skye's grasp. Skye loses her balance and stumbles forward, down the steps. After the fall, she lies unconscious at the bottom of the steps, a small pool of blood on the floor near her head. Hayley looks down at her for a moment, before beginning down the steps. She walks down the steps, her high heels clicking with each step. When she reaches the bottom, she steps directly over Skye's unconscious body and walks out the exit of the building.)
Don't forget to check back TOMORROW
For an ALL NEW episode of
So it may not be my strongest episode, but I hope this helps set up some more of the drama ahead. Apologies if the tone seems a little disjointed at this point, I'm still trying to figure out the right mix of comedy and drama here, but I think it still turned out okay.
Thanks for reading!

Beautiful dress! It looks so very special!
Apr 21, 2013, 08.30 PMby liliv-1
you can't have low confidence in a dress like this!! It's so pretty!
Apr 21, 2013, 08.44 PMby Irina Schwab
oh, thank you. the lack of confidence stems in a commission i took for bridesmaids dresses. the bride changed her mind a few times about length, even design, i felt quite down because of that. i did not want to come near the sewing machine again!

i know how you feel, people always say to me i'm sitting on a goldmine?? they mean i should make clothes for people? . i don't enjoy it though. i make for friends but it always ends up such hard work as they change the length etc. i just love sewing for me and my loved ones.i really don't thimk non sewers realise the work that goes into a dress etc!! i can make myself something very quickly but making for others is stressfull and time consuming. i applaud you and all the other sewers who make for clients x

Man prangs £830k Bugatti Veyron
An unknown driver trashed an £830,000 Bugatti Veyron on Sunday in what UK tabloid The Sun is calling "the world's costliest road crash". The Bugatti Veyron. Picture: Bugatti The 253mph beast crashed in pouring rain on a 40mph stretch of the B375 near Chertsey, Surrey, while allegedly doing 100mph. The driver apparently lost …
My sympathies...no, honestly!
What a tragedy!
Bloke buys motor for a wedge that could purchase half of my street
Bloke takes delivery and one week later rents said phallic extension to boy racer for more than most of us spend on a new motor
Boy racer does 100mph in heavy rain on 40mph road
Boy racer loses control hitting Astra driven by pregnant woman and totals expensive four-wheeled dildo (but was he using his mobile at the time?)
If it weren't for the fact that these kind of tossers (like the motorbike tosser who was nicked after displaying his tosserness on You Tube) put our lives at risk on the road every day and in this case hospitalised a pregnant woman (never mind her trashing her means of transport) I would say: HO-HO!
I just hope one loses his money and the other gets locked up.
It's a shame such a fine piece of technology is wrecked. All that work, design, effort wasted. No doubt the owner is question will be inconsolable. I would like to know the insurance costs prior and after the incident.
When "money-to-brain"-ratio is not balanced....
Driven by two?
According to the BBC's coverage of the crash at http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6423241.stm, "The £800,000 car was being driven by two men."
I don't know much about the Bugatti Veyron but isn't it supposed to be driven by one person at a time? Perhaps that's the cause of the crash...
300 made - 299 in existance... now!
Apparently, as was said on Top Gear' each car cost some 5,000,000 to produce. It was never going to be a money maker; just a moment in time; a Concord moment.
Second accident?

Best Produce and Bread In LA
I'm new to the LA area. I'm a chef and I want to know where the best produce and bread are in La. I live in the culver city are off the 10. Thanks.
For produce, it's hands down the farmers markets. The Santa Monica weds is great - block after block of amazing produce.
re: J.L.
The Van Nuys store is about 10-15 minutes from the 405/10 interchange and is bookended by Sam Woo and Pho So 1 - either are great stops for a meal BEFORE we shop. If we go into places like 99 Ranch on an empty stomach...
The 99 Ranch in San Gabriel (in the Focus Plaza Mall) obviously offers a lot more eating options in the immediate area - too many to list - but is about 30 minutes from the 405/10 interchange. Still, it's well worth the trip. Number one on our list of meals to take in close by is Mei Long Village... This particular 99 Ranch is probably their busiest and carries the best selection of the 99s that I've been to. But because Focus Plaza is so popular, the parking kinda sucks. You can also go across the street to Hawaii Supermarket - much more ethnic, prices are very good, not as clean, and the frogs and turtles may freak out the more timid...
Either way, take at least some sort of cooler (if you're going during the day) to preserve your produce and other perishables, as both areas can get quite warm outside of the winter months...
re: prainer
Also Breadbar. Eric Kayser's breads are legendary in Paris, and now in L.A., too.
re: Jack Flash
I would definitely argue that BreadBar has the highest quality bread in LA. Other bread places have one bread of theirs that is good, but across the board, BreadBar has the best. I especially love their five grain and their alpine loaf, but go for yourself because they have a wide variety.
re: hobomike
I was a regular Marina Farms shopped and still like the place, but it really cannot compete with the farmers markets.
re: glutton
I agree - Marina Farms is my fallback in case I can't make it to our usual farmers markets or ethnic markets. A very good fallback though, and it shows the depth of great choices we are so lucky to have in SoCal.
re: bulavinaka
Well said!
If you're new to California, then you are in for a real treat -- year-round farmers' markets. Even in the dead of February there is succulent citrus, fantastic fennel, amazing avocados... and, of course, while the peak for strawberries is June, they are a year-round fruit here.
As for bread -- it depends what you're looking for. If you want artisanal bread (the kind you might find at a Banette-labelled place in France) then Breadbar would be where I would send you. I once did a post -- you may be able to search for it -- on the wide variety of ethnic breads available in the East Valley (east of the 405, north of the 101).
re: Das Ubergeek
breadbar at century city is excellent. produce - santa monica farmer's market. expensive, but best quality without a doubt.
re: risottoman
Breadbar Cheese Bread WOW....
Frisco Bakery on San Fernando and Ave 26 is going to be a jaunt from Culver, but they do have the best sourdough in LA, IMHO.
621 W Avenue 26
Los Angeles, CA , 90065-1017
Phone: 323-225-6111
Places with great bread that one can easily hit from Culver City:
Amandine, on Wilshire in West LA.
Bread Bar, Santa Monica, Century City, 3rd Street by Cedars-Sinai.
Bay Cities Italian Imports, on Lincoln in Santa Monica.
French Market Cafe, on Abbot Kinney in Venice.
Grand Casino Bakery/Cafe, Main Street in Culver City - Argentine-style bread. Softer than euro-type breads, but still very good.
Le Pain Quotidien, on Santa Monica/3rd St in Santa Monica.
La Maison Du Pain, West LA/Fairfax area on Pico.
Le Pain Du Jour, on Pico by Lincoln in Santa Monica.
Market Gourmet, on Abbot Kinney in Venice - they carry breads from Le Maison Du Paine and other great bakeries.
Rockenwagner/3 Square, on Washington in Culver City, Abbot Kinney in Venice, recently opened on 3rd Street in Santa Monica.
Farmers markets. Most farmers markets have bread stalls. Some are very good. Sunday Mar Vista farmers market on Grandview has had a very reliable and bread stall - I believe the owner is the French gentleman who is there on occasion. Cafe Laurent has decent bread as well - French as well... I personally don't care for the bread stall at the saturday farmers market on 3rd Street in Santa Monica, but they have a lot of variety...
re: bulavinaka
Trader Joes has some great par baked bread that you finish in your oven at 400 for 8 minutes or so. Couldn't be fresher and very reasonably priced. And dont forget Costco for La Brea Bakery bread.
Great Harvest Bread Company has wonderful bread. They have been regulars at the Brentwood Farmer's Market on Sundays on Greta Green (just a block west of Bundy running between Montana and San Vicente Blvd.).
re: jaykayen
I just tried breadbar's baguette today, thought it was nearly perfect. Their rye was very good also.
re: rednyellow
i was just turned on to Breadbar's 'Walnut Raisin'...really wonderful...along with those ridiculously delicious Allpine Rolls they make.
re: latindancer
Have a bit of the walnut raisin with a bit of a creamy blue cheese and drizzled with some honey... the perfect combo.
re: jaykayen
Jaykayen, you 'loathe' Breadbar's baguette?
May I ask why? :)
re: latindancer
Sorry I missed this.
it can't, just CAN'T compare to my favorite Little Saigon baguettes, and it's overpriced to boot!
specifically what I don't like is that the exterior is a bit tough, but not crunchy. The crumb is fine, though-"hearty" comes to mind.
Talking about ethnic markets, has anyone been to Super King on San Fernando Road? Great cheese counter, unusual deli items, fresh produce and other eastern european and russian products. It's like another world. The prices seem to be ridiculously low. But you have to fight the crowds of women buying for what seem to be huge families.
re: TIRGL
I love Super King... not everything is of the highest quality, so you have to go through the store with some skepticism and every now and then, you just need to make a leap of faith on some products because you don't know the brand, etc. That said, the deals are fantastic and they have lots of ingredients that are harder to find. And the adventure of going there on a Saturday and fighting your way through the crowd is great entertainment, so long as you approach it with the right mindset.

New Jimi Hendrix Track, 'Earth Blues,' Streaming Online
The complete album won't be out until March 5, but if you're interested in getting a sneak preview at a cut from the new Jimi Hendrix compilation 'People, Hell & Angels,' you're in luck.
The complete album won't be out until March 5, but if you're interested in getting a sneak preview at a cut from the new Jimi Hendrix compilation 'People, Hell & Angels,' you're in luck.
If we're to believe 'People, Hell & Angels,' the latest in a long string of posthumous albums by Jimi Hendrix, its dozen previously unreleased tracks were the building blocks to the late guitarist's follow-up to 'Electric Ladyland,' his final album with the Experience.
On March 5, mono vinyl versions of the first two Jimi Hendrix albums, 'Are You Experienced' and 'Axis: Bold as Love' will be released. The news was announced yesterday (Jan. 8) via press release.
Jimi Hendrix is one of the most exhaustively chronicled musicians in rock music history. Though he released just three studio albums in his lifetime, he has been the subject of a seemingly inexhaustible series of mostly-exploitative posthumous releases.
On March 5, Experience Hendrix hopes to rectify some of that with the release of 'People, Hell & Angels,' and now you can get your first listen to a track from that collection titled 'Somewhere.'
Jimi Hendrix' 1969 vehicle registration clearly states, "If you no longer own this vehicle destroy this card." Thankfully, someone failed to follow through with that instruction giving collectors an opportunity to bid on a vehicle registration originally addressed to the guitarist. This official government document baring Hendrix' (typed) name sold for $2250.00 on eBay.
Hopefully the Jimi Hendrix fan who dropped nearly $380K for a guitar that was allegedly torched on stage in 1967 didn't immediately begin searching for the fire damage. The famous, black Fender Stratocaster was sold at auction this week (Nov. 27) by James Wright, a manager at Hendrix's record label.
We're learning more about 'People, Hell & Angels,' the most recent collection of previously unreleased material from Jimi Hendrix that was announced last week. For starters, we have the names of all 12 tracks (listed below) as well as a release date of March 5, 2013.
Just one day after fans of Jimi Hendrix were given a glimpse at the track-listing of 'People, Hell and Angels' -- a new album scheduled for March 5 -- engineer Eddie Kramer has revealed a sample of some of the sounds the legend was working on before he died in 1970. In a new video he shares a clip of 'Somewhere,' a song Hendrix recorded with Stephen Stills and Buddy Miles.
It hardly seems possible, given how aggressively his vaults have been mined for material over the years, but we can expect yet another album from Jimi Hendrix next year.
Fans would pay good money just to see one of the many artists that took the stage during Saturday night's (Nov. 17) Jimi Hendrix tribute concert at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Wash. Amongst the dozen or so guitarists, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready left the biggest impression, according to reviews and confirmed in the below video of him playing 'Voodoo Child' with former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan.
Jimi Hendrix may be one of the most exhaustively chronicled performers in rock music history, but a new book aims for a fresh angle on the legendary guitarist, whose life has been mythologized to the point where it often overshadows his music.
On Nov. 26, the day before what would have been Jimi Hendrix's 70th birthday, select movie theaters around the globe will show 'Hendrix 70: Live at Woodstock.' This marks the first time the guitar legend's entire set at the 1969 festival has been shown on the big screen.

The PCAOB on Thursday adopted a suite of eight auditing standards, Auditing Standards (AS) no. 8 through no. 15, that the board said would enhance the effectiveness of the auditor's assessment of, and response to, the risks of material misstatement in financial statements.
The risk assessment standards address audit procedures performed throughout the audit, from the initial planning stages through the evaluation of audit results.
The standards, if approved by the SEC, will be effective for audits of fiscal periods beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2010.
"These new standards are a significant step in promoting sophisticated risk assessment in audits and minimizing the risk that the auditor will fail to detect material misstatements," said PCAOB Acting Chairman Daniel Goelzer in a news release.
The PCAOB initially proposed a suite of standards on Oct. 21, 2008. After making changes in response to comments, the PCAOB reproposed the standards on Dec. 17, 2009.
The reproposed document contained seven standards, but the final standards separated planning (AS9) and supervision (AS10). Goelzer said in an official statement to the board that "a separate supervision standard … affords a better platform for future development of the concept of supervision." He also said the audit planning standard "has been revised to better take into account multi-location engagements in which part of the work is performed by other auditors." Goelzer's statement made clear that further standard setting is likely in each area.
The standards supersede six PCAOB interim standards and related amendments: AU section 311, Planning and Supervision; AU section 312, Audit Risk and Materiality in Conducting an Audit; AU section 313, Substantive Tests Prior to the Balance Sheet Date; AU section 319, Consideration of Internal Control in a Financial Statement Audit; AU section 326, Evidential Matter; and AU section 431, Adequacy of Disclosure in Financial Statements.
The following are summaries of the eight standards:

Running on Empty
Why unbridled oil consumption in the Middle East could pose a threat to the region and beyond.
From the American point of view, the biggest energy revolution in recent years has been the explosion in domestic supplies of oil and gas that has catapulted the United States into the top ranks of global energy producers.
But globally, one of the most important, if less visible, energy revolutions has been the ongoing explosion in demand for oil in the Middle East, still the epicenter of oil production and exports. The region's surge in demand over the past decade, and the likelihood of further increases in its consumption over the next 20 years, raise serious concerns about Middle Eastern countries' ability to keep exporting large volumes of oil. That could upend global oil-market balances, seriously erode the finances and domestic stability of important countries in the region, and spark even more regional instability.
That's one reason that U.S. and international policymakers have been increasingly reaching out to counterparts across the Middle East, urging leaders there to shift gears before it's too late, by, for example, reducing the generous energy subsidies that encourage the rampant use of oil and oil-generated electricity.
"The more they consume, the less they're going to be able to export, and that's the main source of revenue for most of the governments," Dennis Ross, a diplomat who's worked in several presidential administrations, told Foreign Policy. "Something's got to give."
The choice is stark and risky: If Middle Eastern countries don't rein in their popular energy subsidies, their future economic lifelines will be threatened. If they do, they risk roiling domestic populations already energized by the Arab Spring.
Over the past decade, oil consumption in the Middle East has skyrocketed because of the region's growing populations, relatively strong economic growth and increasing need to generate more power for its own use. While China's seemingly insatiable appetite for oil grabbed all the headlines in recent years, Middle Eastern oil consumption was just behind the Middle Kingdom's.
China, with the world's second-largest economy, consumed an extra 5 million barrels of oil a day between 2002 and 2012; the entire Middle East, whose non-petroleum economy is on par with Spain, increased oil consumption by 3 million barrels a day. Europe, in contrast, shrank its oil consumption by 1 million barrels a day over the same period.
That is eating away at the barrels that are available for export. According to statistics from BP, the Middle East exported more than 80 percent of the oil it produced in 2002. A decade later, it was exporting only 70 percent. That trend is also present in North Africa. Across both regions, most of the production gains over the past decade have gone to meet rising domestic consumption, according to a recent report by Securing America's Energy Future.
Publicly, regional leaders say they're aware of the problem and getting a handle on it. But the ugly truth is that most of the factors driving that consumption boom haven't gone anywhere and probably won't for years to come. Foreign Affairs recently noted that Saudi Arabia could by the late 2020s consume more oil than it exports. BP expects the region to add almost 5 million barrels of oil in demand over the next twenty years, even as it expects Middle Eastern exports to remain essentially "static."
Why, with relatively small populations and economies, are Middle Eastern countries guzzling so much oil? While there are plenty of examples of energy consumption run amok -- from Dubai's indoor ski slopes to Saudi Arabians' tendency to leave air conditioners running while on vacation -- the chief culprit is simple inefficiency. That shows up most clearly in power generation and use, and the profligate use of subsidized fuel for transportation.
Electricity generation is the most egregious demonstration of Middle Eastern oil consumption -- but also among the easiest to fix, on paper. Saudi Arabia, despite efforts to tap more natural gas for power generation and an increasing interest in renewable energy such as solar power, still gets about half its electricity by burning $100 barrels of oil.
"It's probably the most inefficient and expensive way to generate electricity right now," said Gary Clark, a commodities analyst with Roubini Global Economics in London. Regionally, he said, power generation accounts for about 25 percent of oil consumption.
That's why countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are starting to consider across-the-board economic reforms to address the problem. The payoff could be huge: One study estimates that improvements in Saudi power generation, efficiency, and transport could save almost 2 million barrels a day of oil by 2025 -- allowing Riyadh to reap enormous amounts of new money.
They're also looking at alternative sources of energy, including nuclear power. When you're paying $200 to produce a megawatt-hour of electricity with oil, nuclear starts to look like a bargain. The UAE's landmark nuclear deal with the United States, the first nuclear cooperation agreement between the United States and an Arab nation, came about solely because of the small Gulf nation's rising domestic oil consumption. And it explains why even more ambitious nuclear plans, such as Saudi Arabia's hopes to spend $80 billion on 16 nuclear reactors, are getting Washington's blessings even as Iran's nuclear program has triggered a Western effort to use punishing sanctions to destroy the Iranian economy.
A few countries, led by the UAE, are also diving into renewable energy, especially solar. Abu Dhabi even houses the International Renewable Energy Agency.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has established a royal center for atomic and renewable energy, and even the Saudi oil minister talks up the prospects of solar power when he visits the United States. Other countries, from Qatar to Kuwait, are also looking into the prospects of renewable energy providing cheaper (and, incidentally, cleaner) power than their current mix.
Still, the transformation of the power sector appears to be lagging behind the explosion in electricity demand, according to the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook. That's especially true with the huge seasonal swings in electricity demand caused by the need for summertime air conditioning; Saudi Arabia alone uses up close to a million extra barrels a day for cooling in the summer. Coming to grips with institutional weaknesses -- such as ministries with dueling mandates -- as well overcoming a dearth of reliable data on energy use could help governments across the Gulf region finally start to implement smarter energy policies, Chatham House concluded recently.
The bigger, and much tougher, problem to tackle is the artificially cheap fuel prices that encourage residents to drive gas-guzzling cars as often as they want, and as far as they want.
"They provide cradle-to-grave energy subsidies as a kind of obligation of the regimes to the public, as a social contract," said Ross. Gasoline in Saudi Arabia, for example, costs about 45 cents a gallon, hardly an inducement to fuel-efficient vehicles.
The IEA estimates that subsidies for oil and oil products in the Middle East cost about $112 billion in 2012 -- or 13 percent of everything those countries made by exporting oil in the first place. Counting subsidies on electricity and natural gas, governments across the Middle East and North Africa are shelling out more than $240 billion a year, the International Monetary Fund estimates.
While U.S. and international policymakers for years have railed about fossil-fuel subsidies, and made calls for their rollback a staple of G-8 gatherings, that's easier said than done.
Many in the region consider fuel subsidies practically a birthright. Furthermore, countries that have rolled back subsidies have found it tough going; Iran's halting efforts to partially liberalize energy prices have been anything but smooth. Morocco just ended its own fuel subsidies -- but only under pressure from the IMF, while neighboring Tunisia had to scrap plans to raise energy prices due to popular protests. Saudi's economy minister publicly attacked energy subsidies' role in "distorting" the economy last spring -- but little has been done since. The UAE's efforts to rein in subsidies stalled after 2010, though the oil minister recently raised the need to cut energy subsidies, at least for expatriates.
The task for Saudi Arabia is even harder, because it has acquired a host of financial obligations outside its borders. Bruce Reidel of the Brookings Institution estimates that Riyadh's external commitments, including support for tottering allies such as Egypt, Pakistan, Bahrain and Yemen, now totals about $30 billion a year. "The cost of supporting the counter-revolution in the Arab and Islamic worlds adds greatly to the challenges facing the House of Saud in the years ahead," he wrote in a new Brookings study released Thursday.
But if the Middle East does not come to grips with its rising oil consumption, the implications could be dire. Saudi Arabia's crucial role in global oil markets comes both from the sheer volume of its exports, and the fact that it maintains "spare capacity" that it can essentially turn on and off as needed, making it a sort of central banker of oil markets. The greater the domestic consumption, the less potential spare capacity in OPEC's biggest producer. And that could lead to higher and more volatile oil prices, which would be bad news for the entire global economy.
Internal stability could also be threatened. Countries in the Middle East, as well as petro-states like Russia and Venezuela, have come to rely on exceedingly high oil prices in order to balance their budgets and meet domestic commitments. That has worked for the last few years because oil prices are, in real terms, about as high as they have been in a century.
But the rapid increase in oil production in the United States and Canada, coupled with the emergence of additional production in Brazil, Iraq, and possibly even Iran, has OPEC members worried about too much oil in the near future. That could send prices down to levels that would be great for the global economy -- but terrible for oil-dependent budgets. Only exporting greater volumes could make up for the lower price-per-barrel, but greater domestic consumption threatens those extra barrels.
"If the oil market becomes more flush, it's going to create problems for them, and they're going to have to make choices that, so far, high oil price have allowed them to avoid making," Ross said.
To date, U.S. policymakers have been trying to increase Washington's cooperation with Middle Eastern countries on issues such as energy conservation, energy efficiency, nuclear power, and renewable energy. The UAE inked a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with the U.S. in 2009. The State Department's roving energy ambassador, Carlos Pascual, spent last weekend in Abu Dhabi, talking up renewable energy. And Ernest Moniz, the U.S. energy secretary, just met with Saudi officials, including a tour of the King Abdullah atomic and renewable energy center, to chat up the prospects for greater U.S.-Saudi cooperation on clean energy and efficiency.
All of that underlines one simple truth: No matter how much oil flows out of Texas and North Dakota, the U.S. won't be disengaging from the Middle East anytime soon. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Nova Scotia farmers offer tourist stays
Would you pay to stay on a farm for your next vacation?
Some farmers in Nova Scotia are banking on farm tourism to bring in cash. It's all part of a farm experience Nova Scotia farmers are hoping to sell to tourists.
But agriculture laws will have to change for farm-stays to become reality. Many county by-laws don't allow farmers to use land for accommodations. The province is working to change that and allow farmers to bring in extra money.
The accommodations would vary from a cabin to a gypsy caravan or a yurt. The whole experience would cost between 75 and 100 dollars a night.
About 40 farmers have expressed interest in offering farm-stays. Several have already started.
We want to hear from you. Would you pay to stay on a farm for your next vacation? Leave us a comment in the section below.

appcrash in explorer.exe when trying to start ControlPanel
When trying to open the Control Panel explorer.exe crashes. In every other situation explorer works normal. Its a dead end cause I cannot remove or add programs from the control panel.
I have all latest Windows versions with Windows update and have added XP compatibility mode to Windows 7 (32 bit, pre-installed). SQL Server 2012 is installed including .Net framework - apart from that nothing special.
I get the following message, but no BSOD (in Swedish);

Here is the trick to get to Add/Remove Programs window without Control Panel:
(It works in pretty much in any Windows from Windows 95 to Windows 8)
Press Win+R, in a Run window paste this
Click Ok.
As for a problem, my guess would be that you have got some custom Control panel file (*.cpl) installed, which is messing up your Control panel.
Therefore, I would search Windows\system32 and/or Windows\SysWOW64 folder for *.cpl files and examine everyone individually to find out an odd ball. Likely, there is one, which is causing the problem (it happened with me once, when I tried to install some drivers in Compatibility mode, it installed some cpl file, which was not working).
|My System Specs
|20 Jan 2013
Cpl files
Thank you for your help. I cheched \Windows\System32 but no cpl files, only 2 cpx files with older date (2009)
- 12520437.cpx and 12520850.cpx.
|My System Specs
|20 Jan 2013
Control PaneL files are *.CPL, not CPX
Is your windows 64 bit?
On more detailed instruction how to search them please refer to first part of this article.
Never mind the second and third part, where they talk about regedit and policy editor. You are only interested in search of Windows\system32 (32 bit Windows) folder or Windows\SysWOW64 (64 bit Windows).

Oops, I blinked.
Daughters are all grown up, married, with three kids each. That was fast.
But we're still a close family, get together often, have plans for the future. I call the daughters a couple of times a week. Sometimes I probably bug them but I don't care.
Family rocks.
My wife Brenda is in the middle. She loved me when I was drunk and lost, and she now loves me sober and found. I don't know how she could love both. Oh wait: that's what Jesus does. I learn about grace from her every day.
The Nester (right) is our first daughter. As a kid she was always moving Barbie furniture around and now she's always moving her real furniture. She says it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful, and she's right. Her book about all that will be available in Spring of 2014. You can meet her at Nesting Place.
Emily (left) is our second first daughter. As a kid she journaled – STACKS of pages. Now she writes books about living with peace and grace. Her first book is Grace for the Good Girl, second is is Graceful, and the new one is Million Little Ways. You can meet her at Chatting at the Sky.

Wiikly Wares: Castlevania III takes Jungle Speed on Planet Pachinko
Jungle Speed (Playful Entertainment Inc., 1-8 players, 1,000 Wii Points): So, here we have a card game that comes with no cards and, at $10, costs twice as much as an actual card game. Sounds like a great deal for those of you who don't own tables.
Planet Pachinko (Allied Kingdoms Inc., 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone-Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points): We can't tell you how many times we've been playing pachinko in our favorite local haunt and thought, "Why can't I have this kind of fun on my Wii?" Our next thought is usually something like, "Why is our favorite local haunt in Tokyo? We're spending a fortune on airfare." [Update: This isn't a pachinko game. In fact, it looks absolutely insane.]
Virtual Console:
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points): A classic, but doesn't the premise sound like the fan fiction of a 12-year-old? "OK, so you're one of the Belmonts, right? You're ... umm, Trevor. But instead of just using your whip you can transform into a really hot girl that uses magic and ... uhhh, Dracula's son. Oh! And also a pirate. Listen, there's more, but I've gotta get to Pre-Algebra."

weld seam,
oil spill,
Justice Department,
Thorsten Schier
NEW YORK Manufacturing defects around the weld seam of an Exxon Mobil Corp. oil pipeline in Arkansas caused its failure in late March, according to a metallurgical report.
"Based on the metallurgical analysis, the independent laboratory concluded that the root cause of the failure can be attributed to original manufacturing defects, namely hook cracks near the seam," Exxon said in an e-mailed statement.
"Additional contributing factors include atypical pipe properties, such as extremely low impact toughness and elongation properties across the electric-resistance weld (ERW) seam," the Irving, Texas-based company added.
Internal or external corrosion did not play a role in the failure, according to the analysis by Euless, Texas-based Hurst Metallurgical Research Laboratory Inc.
Exxon is conducting supplemental testing to "help (it) understand all factors associated with the pipe failure" and "ensure a similar incident does not occur again," it said.
In the meantime, the affected Pegasus oil pipeline remains shut "until we are convinced it can be safely restarted," a company spokesman said in an e-mail.
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration did not return a request for comment, while an Exxon spokesman declined to name the pipe supplier.
The 850-mile line, which carries Canadian heavy crude oil to the Texas Gulf Coast from Patoka, Ill., ruptured near the city of Mayflower, Ark., on March 29, spilling about 5,000 barrels of oil and leading to a sustained cleanup effort by Exxon (amm.com, April 2).
The incident was categorized as a "major spill" by the Environmental Protection Agency. The state of Arkansas and the U.S. government have since filed a joint complaint in federal district court in Little Rock, Ark., seeking civil penalties against Exxon, according to a statement by the Department of Justice.
The Pegasus line, which was built in the 1940s, consists of 20-inch-diameter X42 seamless and low-frequency ERW pipe of 0.312-inch wall thickness (amm.com, April 3).

Under the Gun Lyrics - Dokken
D. Dokken/J. Norum/K. Keeling
So long baby bleed
Had more than enough time to burn it all
Down to the core
Of your bottomless soul
Thought you always wanted to be free
I won't miss you when you're gone
So hard to believe it went on for so long
But I'll carry on without you
Like before
You will have
Your day in the sun
Close your eyes it's gonna burn
Your day in the sun
Will you ever learn?
So long baby blue
Waited so long but you never came through
We dried all your tears
Thought you were the one I could believe in
I won't miss you when I'm gone
It's hard to believe this went on for so long

TraPac Jacksonville opens for business
After much anticipation, TraPac marked the official opening of its new 158-acre terminal, with the arrival of the CMA CGM Virginia (Voyage 161E) at the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT).The Virginia's arrival brings to fruition nearly four years of work that began with a groundbreaking ceremony on August 3, 2005.
"The opening of the TraPac Terminal signals JAXPORT's move into the big leagues of international trade," said Rick Ferrin, JAXPORT's Executive Director. "This is the start of Jacksonville's future as a hub for transportation and logistics, and we look forward to a long, successful collaboration with MOL/TraPac."
Financial figures estimate that TraPac's new JAXPORT terminal is expected to generate nearly a billion dollars annually in local economic benefits – almost three times the proceeds generated by the Super Bowl – from private sector wages, taxes and revenue earned by neighboring businesses.
With its outstanding rail and highway access, as well as a cutting-edge container handling system capable of 800,000 TEUs annually, TraPac Jacksonville is destined to become a first-string player in one of the fastest growing markets in the US.
