- " I was very impressed by my experience with HI - New York City. The atmosphere was very friendly and comfortable; the staff was extremely helpful, especially when I had to leave my luggage due to checking in too early; and the cafe made for a wonderful breakfast. I enjoyed it so much that I posted about it on my Facebook and recommended it to any of my single friends travelling to New York City. Definitely planning to stay here again next time I'm in New York! "
- 01 Aug 2014 Melanie USA
- " I pretty much was only at the hostel to shower and sleep. The breakfast coupons are incredible, as is the cafe. The food is so good. The beds are comfy and I love the two outlets and light above each bed. The staff were nice and the place was clean and very secure. Only downside was the location but there are two different subway lined either side of the hostel which can get you to Times Square in about 15 minutes or so. "

If you're traveling and looking for a way to have your basic lodging needs met and save a little money, I'd highly recommend this hostel. The location was perfect! There were a lot of people to meet and activities to participate in if that's what you want. Rooms and bathrooms were great, and overall the hostel met my needs. "

In the dystopian future of Remember Me, Capcom's third-person action-adventure, the mind-erasing technology of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has been taken to the next level. The mega-corporation Memorize has created a brain implant called Sensen that commoditizes memories, allowing users to buy, sell and trade their recollections in order to remain blissfully ignorant of society crumbling around them. What could possibly go wrong?
Pretty much everything. While the upper class can afford to jettison any bad memories, the lower class covet happy memories that will help them forget their difficult lives. Many are overdosing, turning them into Leapers: junkies who look like Gollum with a bad meth habit. Meanwhile, Memorize can silence its critics by simply imprisoning them and removing their memories altogether, which is how we meet Nilin, the heroine of the story. Nilin was Memorize's most skilled ''memory hunter,'' but for reasons unknown, the company wiped her memory in order to contain her. Now with the help of a mysterious benefactor, she must put the puzzle pieces back together, restore her memory and take down her former employer.
Remember Me is set in a Neo-Paris of 2084, and it's gorgeously rendered. An anachronistic juxtaposition of vieux Paris architecture and gleaming futuristic skyscrapers, the city is bursting with personality. Androids and robots bustle about, cleaning and shopping amongst the fashionable Neo-Parisians. But the game is extremely linear, quickly ushering you from one point to the next; it's a shame you don't get to explore this imaginative world more. Nilin's Sensen pops up a bright orange arrow telling you exactly where you can jump or climb, which removes any sense of challenge from the bare-bones platforming. The only difficulty is in the clunky jumping mechanic, which too often leads to unnecessary deaths and leaves you staring at too-long loading screens while the checkpoint reloads.
The combat is similarly frustrating. While it's clearly inspired by Batman: Arkham City's free-flow fighting, it lacks the flexibility and adaptability that made that game so very satisfying. Remember Me tries to add something new with customizable combos, allowing you to equip modifiers that deal extra damage, restore health or decrease your special meter timer, and it's a nice way of adding strategy. But the system itself feels sluggish and unresponsive, and Nilin lacks Batman's counters and throws that let him chain together attacks seemingly endlessly. What's worse is that when taking on swarms of enemies, it's difficult to keep your combos going as they constantly swipe at you with cheap shots, and dodging will often break your combo. And while the combat often looks cool, particularly when you unleash a powerful special move or finish off foes with a flashy memory overload, it ultimately looks better than it feels.
Remember Me's most original mechanic is memory remixing. Nilin uniquely possesses the ability to alter people's memories by tweaking certain triggers in the memory, allowing her to alter their perception of what actually happened. This plays out like an interactive cut-scene, where you watch the events unfold, then rewind and fast-forward, searching for glitches you can manipulate that lead to different outcomes. It's an interesting idea, and far more engaging than a passive cinematic, though it ultimately comes down to trial and error until you discover the proper combination.
Capcom took a big risk publishing an original game starring a female character who isn't Lara Croft. Remember Me is an ambitious first game from French developer Dontnod Entertainment, who are clearly a talented bunch, and they've created a rich cyberpunk world with interesting characters. It's unfortunate that the gameplay doesn't quite live up to the big ideas, or it could have been something truly memorable. B-

Although they came from very different family backgrounds, Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden shared the description of having something of a Jeckyll and Hyde personality. Both could be described as very sweet or polite, particularly by their teachers and in school, but they also had a more hostile side. Those who were privy to the sweet side were stunned by the shooting and found it hard to imagine that Mitchell and Andrew could be involved. Those exposed to the temper or the abuse of animals were also surprised but considered their roles plausible.
By most accounts, Mitchell and Andrew were not friends, just acquaintances who met on the long bus ride to school.3 The bus ride provided the boys with a fairly lengthy period of unsupervised time, with the bus driver as the only adult present. Many parents complained of rowdy and inappropriate antics by older children on the bus, to which younger children were exposed. While Mitchell and Andrew were not assigned to sit together on the bus, many believed that their plans were likely hatched there nonetheless. Neither boy visited the other's house, they were in separate grades at school, and they had no common recess or activities together. In fact, adults at the school said they never would have paired the two together, their personalities were so different. But Mitchell and Andrew did call one another at least a few times, and friends said they saw each other outside school.
Four students and a teacher died in the shooting. The students who were killed were Stephanie Johnson, age 12; Paige Herring, age 12; Natalie Brooks, age 11; and Britthney Varner, age 11. Shannon Wright, who had been both Mitchell and Andrew's English teacher, also died; she was married and had a son of her own, 2-year-old Zane. She was hailed as a hero by many in the community and the press for shielding her students from the gunfire, giving her life for theirs.
The wounded were Candice Porter, age 11, who "dated" Mitchell for a few days before she broke up with him; Crystal Barnes, age 13; Whitney Irving, age 11; teacher Lynette Thetford, who had Andrew in her social studies class; Brittany Lambie, age 13; Jennifer Jacobs, age 12, who reportedly dated Andrew and broke up with him before the shooting; Ashley Betts, age 12; Tristan McGowan, age 13, who was Andrew's cousin; Christina Amer, age 12; and Jenna Brooks, age 12, cousin of Natalie Brooks, who was shot and killed.
The shootings took place on March 24, 1998, a Tuesday. Students and teachers had recently returned from spring break and were talking about

Delicious, homemade cheese in 30 minutes
The urban farming trend is now in full force, dominating suburban gardens with honey-gorged beehives, backyard chicken coops and rooftop raised beds bursting with home-raised fruits and vegetables.
It's not unusual to prepare your own ingredients for recipes anymore. In fact, more and more restaurants are gloating over their house-made foods and locally grown produce—and the home cook is now following suit.
Urban farming has graduated from its trend moniker; it's now a lifestyle, an outreach to the past. And something that has taken it to that level is the return of homemade cheese.
A once-dying practice, cheese-making not only offers bragging rights for the homespun creations, but also the flavors of fresh, tender cheeses enlivening salads, pizzas and cracker spreads.
The thought of making cheese may be daunting—a whirlwind of odd contraptions, strange ingredients, and perhaps the most off-putting of all—a whole lot of time.
But a batch of fresh mozzarella requires little more than a gallon of milk and 30 minutes. Citric acid and rennet tablets, which cause the milk to coagulate, can be purchased at fine foods stores or online.
They also store well in the freezer, allowing for old-fashioned cheese-making whenever the mood strikes.
A few finicky rules do apply to homemade cheese, though. Ultra-pasteurized milk should never be used—it won't form curds; but plain pasteurized, homogenized or fresh milk from a farm will do the trick.
For the purest, creamiest mozzarella, stick to whole milk. Low-fat milk works, but offers a tougher, drier result.
Odd contraptions? There aren't any, unless you consider a candy thermometer an unusual kitchen gadget. From pot to plate, this mozzarella requires only a colander, slotted spoon, glass bowl and thermometer.
This from-scratch mozzarella lasts up to a week in a sealed container in the refrigerator; although, it more than likely will be eaten within the first few days. Cut up fresh and topped with tomatoes, basil and olive oil, it creates a divine caprese salad. Slid into sandwiches or plopped upon a homemade pizza, it is still a rich delicacy.

The Capital Grille Kicks-Off 3rd Annual Artist Series Wine Event
2012 Limited-Edition Cabernet Sauvignon to Benefit Share Our Strength®
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Capital Grille Artist Series Wine Event is returning for its third year this spring, beginning March 19. This annual event gives guests at The Capital Grille a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience an exclusive, limited allocation wine adorned with a unique piece of original artwork as its label, while supporting Share Our Strength® and their mission to end childhood hunger in America. The nationally renowned fine-dining restaurant, known for its dry aged, hand-carved steaks, fresh seafood and award-winning wine list, will once again donate $25 to Share Our Strength® for every limited-edition bottle sold.
This year's Artist Series wine is an exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon hand-selected by The Capital Grille's own Master Sommelier, George Miliotes.
"We are extremely pleased to bring back the Artist Series Wine Event for a third consecutive year, as we relish the opportunity to bring our guests a restaurant wine experience unlike any other," said John Martin, President of The Capital Grille. "As always, we are thrilled to support a worthy cause like Share Our Strength, which helps feed hungry children in America. The Capital Grille has donated nearly $1 million to Share Our Strength over the past four years, and we look forward to reaching and exceeding that milestone this year."
The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet was hand-crafted at Napa Valley's Freemark Abbey Winery by Ted Edwards, in collaboration with George Miliotes, one of only 186 Master Sommeliers in the world. Fewer than 1,000 cases of this unique wine, blended solely for The Capital Grille, will be produced. The wine's grapes were harvested from carefully selected vineyards in Napa Valley, where differing elevations and a unique terrain result in the perfect conditions for creamy, roundly textured flavors.
"We are committed not only to a fine dining experience, but also to introducing our guests to the wonderful world of wines," said Miliotes. "We strive to give our guests the chance to enjoy fine wines from across the globe, and created The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon to give them an incomparable opportunity to experience a magnificent vintage with ripe fruit flavors, prominent tannin and the complexity and balance expected of a fine Cabernet."
To match the work of art inside the bottle, The Capital Grille invited artists and wine lovers to submit original art for the bottle's label, during a competition held last fall. The winning painting, Complexity, by Missouri-based artist Julie Agee, was chosen for the way the vibrant colors and abstract lines perfectly complement the robust flavors and subtle undertones of the wine. The artwork will appear on every individually numbered bottle of The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon. This is just one part of The Capital Grille's award-winning wine program, which is routinely recognized by many industry and media outlets. Featuring more than 350 Old and New World selections housed in floor-to-ceiling, temperature-controlled wine kiosks, The Capital Grille also offers a Captain's List of 125 collector wines. Additionally, guests have the opportunity to lease a wine locker, personalized with an inscribed brass nameplate.
Please visit our website for restaurant locations and additional information. Reservations may also be made online at www.TheCapitalGrille.com.
About The Capital Grille
The Capital Grille owns and operates 45 locations nationwide. The restaurant is known for its dry aged steaks, award-winning wine list and professional service in an atmosphere of relaxed elegance. For more information on The Capital Grille, please visit www.TheCapitalGrille.com.

Seafair Pirates land spot in SI Swimsuit Issue
By KOMO
SEATTLE -- When you pick up the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue you probably wouldn't expect to find a bunch of grizzled, sword-wielding Seattle pirates.
But that's exactly what you'll see this year on page 186 of the popular magazine, where Seattle's own Seafair Pirates appear alongside swimwear model Melissa Haro.
Mark Jensen, spokesman for the Seafair Pirates, said the group participated in the magazine's photo shoot during their annual appearance at Pirates Week in the Cayman Islands.
Jensen said the magazine had been planning a pirate-themed shoot and contacted the pirates in advance asking if they would help out. The motley band of local pirates had to arrive at about 5 a.m. on the day of the shoot in early November and spent several hours working with the photographers.
"The hardest part was keeping the pirates quiet the last few months," Jensen said of their desire to let everyone know that they'd been involved. But the pirates, along with everyone else involved in the production of the Swimsuit Edition, were sworn to secrecy.
Jensen said they didn't know until early Tuesday morning that one of the photos including the pirates had been selected to be published in the magazine. He said they also sang a few songs during the production that he hopes will be included in the "making of" DVD put out by Sports Illustrated.
Asked if the Seafair Pirates were subjected to the hours of primping and makeup like the swimsuit models, Jensen replied, "We're not those kind of pirates. They took us as-is."
You can see some of the photos featuring the Seafair Pirates at the Sports Illustrated web site:

Ham radio clubs 30th Christmas...Amateur Radio is by no means dead
Jerry Durgan, Contributing Writer
For at least thirty years, explained Betty Kilgus, weve had Christmas dinner for members of the E.A.R.S. members (Edisto Amateur Radio Society) and their families. The Kilgus's (Betty and Carl) have annually hosted the annual E.A.R.S. dinner at their home. More than two dozen hams and their spouses enjoyed the 2010 Christmas dinner.
Though talk among the shortwave enthusiasts at the ever-popular dinner was about everything from politics to the national debt, much of it still, as always, revolved around shortwave antennas, the newest shortwave equipment acquisitions, rf (radio frequencies), amateur radio repeaters and news of past E.A.R.S. members.
Though amateur operators, on the average, are getting older (some estimates are that the average age is over 50), amateur radio is by no means becoming defunct.
The challenge that I see is going to be keeping the aging body of the amateur community from miring us in the past and keeping us from making the innovation necessary to maintaining the appearance that amateur radio is relevant enough stated ham operator Kelly Martin in her blog Nonbovine ruminations.
Thats certainly true, particularly when many amateur radio operators are aging and younger folks concentrate more on digital cell phones, iPods, etc. that amateur shortwave radio simply cannot compete. Amateur short wave transmission and reception is globally capable while the currently more popular forms of the new digital-age communication are quite limited. The only exception is the computer-based and now cell-phone based internet access that is truly global in its very nature. Even so, an amateur radio operator in Bamberg, for example, can talk with another ham operator in China or India, or Cape Horn or Argentina, Hawaii or Fiji. And there are those hardcore amateur radio enthusiasts who are looking into new digital and video shortwave techniques and even internet access to short wave transmission and reception to take amateur radio back out of the dark ages.
And amateur radio still has a vital place in emergency and disaster communications. When land-line telephones are out of service, cell phone towers are down or incapable of communicating, battery operated and handheld amateur short wave radio still has the capability of communicating, not only with other hams but with state-wide and county-wide disaster professionals to report and convey essential information as well as to the National Weather Services Skywatch and Skywarn. Skywarn amateur radio spotters provide important weather information to the National Weather Service. Periodically, National Weather Service personnel complete radio checks with local ham operators to assure continuing communication capability.
For those youngsters who think amateur radio has nothing to offer, amateur radio has several communications satellites in orbit operating on various bands and modes. The Space Shuttles and the International Space Station include Amateur Radio as part of their payloads. One can work these orbiting stations with a modest antenna and a handheld transceiver. At various times, amateur radio operators have had the honor and pleasure of talking directly with astronauts while in space. Several astronauts, in fact, are ham operators themselves.

WINCHESTER, Calif., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A national nonprofit has been working closely with over a dozen communities across the nation in order to offer complimentary Valentines for Veterans Concert ticket admissions to veterans and their families.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121220/LA33655LOGO)
The Concert events have been designed to show appreciation to America's veteran and military population and respect to America's Gold Star families, while increasing awareness about the need for volunteers at VA medical facilities.
Funding for the Concerts is provided in large part by Help Hospitalized Veterans, (HHV) along with dozens of local sponsors within each community."HHV ensured that Concert admissions be free for attendees, because through the sacrifices of our veteran and military, the price has already been paid," said Mike Lynch, HHV president and CEO. Last year, nearly 30,000 veterans, military and their families were in attendance, and since the initiative began in 2008, there have been approximately 1,000 volunteer signups as a direct result of attending a Concert. The 2013 Concert Series All Star Artist lineup includes country music greats Lone Star, Aaron Tippin, Daryl Singletary, James Wesley and Lucas Hoge; R&B legends The Chi-Lites and The Manhattans and pop music favorites The Grass Roots and Juice Newton.

Healthy Snacks for School
printable version
Providing healthy snacks for children helps them grow and develop and supports life-long good eating habits. Serving nutritious snacks as part of a healthy diet can help prevent disabling diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity. Just as important as serving healthy food items, is serving the right portion. Make sure a snack is a snack small and satisfying. Please avoid sending foods of poor nutritional quality such as cookies, cakes, pastries, candies, fruit roll-ups, ice cream, chips, sodas, and other sweetened drinks.
Following are just a few ideas of healthy snacks and drinks for you to bring to school when it's your turn to provide refreshments for the classroom, parties, birthday treats, and other school activities. If you have questions or other snack ideas, please contact your child's teacher.
Let your child help you prepare these nutritious options and experiment with their creativity. For example, how about Fresh Fruit Kabobs, String Cheese Stuffed Celery, Cookie Cutter Sandwiches, or Cheese Cubes on a Pretzel Stick? Show your child that healthy snacks can be fun and tasty.
Before sending any food to school, please check with your child's teacher(s) to make sure there are not classmates with food allergies.

Improved 10g management with EMSubmitted by Donald K. Burleson on Sat, 2004-05-01 00:00
Just a few years ago, many senior Oracle DBAs detested Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM). Viewed as a crutch for beginners who could not memorize the command syntax, EM was largely ignored by the veteran DBA who preferred the ease and certainty of the SQL*Plus command-line interface. This is about to change.

Building Oracle Applications that use Bind VariablesSubmitted by Mark Rittman on Fri, 2004-04-09 21:04
If you've been developing applications on Oracle for a while, you've no doubt come across the concept of 'Bind Variables'. Bind variables are one of those Oracle concepts that experts frequently cite as being key to application performance, but it's often not all that easy to pin down exactly what they are and how you need to alter your programming style to use them. With this in mind, I've tried to pull together the key information about bind variables and why they are a 'good thing' when building Oracle applications.

Unconventional Emergency Oracle SupportSubmitted by Donald K. Burleson on Thu, 2004-04-01 00:00
Being an emergency support DBA is a job with huge stress-levels and it always provides a giant adrenaline rush for even the most experienced DBA. Senior management is in a panic, and high-level executives are continuously asking for a status update. Most of these databases are brand-new to me, and I have only a few minutes to access the situation and devise a plan to quickly relieve their bottleneck.

Candidate keys: Choosing the right primary keySubmitted by admin on Mon, 2004-03-22 00:00
It is the business that has the knowledge about their entities (things of importance) and what kind of unique information that separate them (invoice numbers, customer IDs, and so on).
Your role as an analyst/designer is to validate such properties, and to fit them into a normalized database model that reflects the needs of the business.

Thu, Nov 15, 2012
The announcement by the European Climate Commission that it would be pushing back the full implementation of the EU-ETS on Monday did not deter members of the U.S. House of Representatives from overwhelmingly approving a plan by U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and John Thune (R-SD) (pictured below L-R), which the bill's authors say would protect American consumers and jobs from a European Union tax on the U.S. airline industry. The measure, which cleared the Senate before the election, passed on a voice vote in the House and now heads to President Obama's desk.
"All that's left to prevent the European Union from unfairly taxing American citizens is the President's signature, and I urge him to support this commonsense measure," McCaskill said in a news release following the House vote. "European governments taxing air travel in the United States has never made a bit of sense, and it's refreshing to be able to work across the aisle to protect American consumers from this kind of nonsense."
With McCaskill and Thune's legislation advancing in Congress, the European Union announced yesterday that it will delay the E.U. Emissions Trading System (E.U. ETS) for one year to allow time for an international agreement. "It's good that the E.U. has seen the writing on the wall, but it's important for the United States to act and show European governments that we oppose this misguided proposal," she said
ETS is an emissions trading program that levies a tax on U.S. airline carriers' flights into and out of E.U. countries. It is related to European countries' interest in reaching their own internal goals for carbon emissions. The E.U. program applies a "cap-and-trade" carbon tax system to all flights originating or landing in Europe-taxing even those emissions that occur over the United States, international waters and elsewhere outside Europe. Remarkably, these taxes are not set aside for a specific purpose, and could be used as part of the general fund of any European Union government for virtually any purpose.
The McCaskill-Thune legislation has the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as well as unions representing airline employees. The bill was introduced in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee leaders, including Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL) and Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Tom Petri (R-WI) (pictured below L-R).
"This bill is a firm response by the United States Congress that this nation will not allow U.S. jobs and our aviation industry to be threatened by the EU's unilaterally imposed and unlawful tax scheme," Mica said. "Participation will put U.S. air carriers at a competitive disadvantage and lead to fewer aviation jobs for Americans."
U.S. airlines have estimated that this European tax could cost more than $3.1 billion between 2012 and 2020, which will ultimately increase the cost to passengers.
"An emissions tax on other nations' civil aviation operators while those flight are in EU airspace is one thing," Mica said. "However, imposing this tax over the entire flight, the bulk of which may be in another nation's airspace or over international waters, clearly violates international law and U.S. sovereignty. This scheme has the appearance of nothing more than a cash grab by a struggling European Union, as there is absolutely no requirement that funds collected by EU Member States be used to reduce aviation emissions."
"The bottom line here is obvious," said Rep. Petri. "The European Union seems not to have noticed that it is not sovereign in the United States and has no right to levy taxes here. The European Union also seems not to have noticed that it is not sovereign over the rest of the world, since the EU also intends to impose these taxes on the citizens and businesses of non-European countries worldwide. The non-Europeans have noticed, however, and have joined with us in protest. The delay announced by the EU yesterday is a temporary reprieve, but the message and intent behind this legislation remains unchanged."
"The message could not be any clearer -- overwhelming bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate have spoken: EU ETS violates U.S. sovereignty and will not do what it purports to as the funds do not have to be used for environmental protection," said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio. "There is a better way to improve the environmental efficiency of the airline industry, and U.S.-based carriers are already leading those efforts."
Calio (pictured left) said A4A strongly supports efforts to gain full agreement on the global framework provisionally adopted by ICAO in 2010. U.S. airlines were among the global aviation leaders in developing this framework, which includes an industry commitment to a 1.5 percent annual average fuel-efficiency improvement through 2020 and carbon neutral growth from 2020 onward, subject to critical investments by industry and governments.
"We urge President Obama to swiftly sign this bill into law. By doing so, he will protect U.S. air carriers from paying an illegal tax and safeguard American jobs and the sovereignty of our nation," said ALPA president, Captain Lee Moak (pictured above right). "We thank members of Congress for supporting this bill, which will allow the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] to focus its efforts on creating a global solution to reducing aircraft emissions."
Under the EU ETS, all airlines using EU airports would be required to pay significant taxes for each ton of carbon used over historical emissions. The EU ETS could cost U.S. carriers an estimated $3.1 billion over the next 10 years, which could lead to lost airline jobs.

FOLIO:'s 2010 Consumer Magazine CEO Survey
Executive and ownership changes are coming fast and furious in the consumer magazine world. The summer kicked off with Hearst Magazines announcing Cathie Black was moving to chairman, to be replaced by former CondĂ© Nast group president David Carey (CondĂ© Nast consumer marketing group president Robert Sauerberg then became president of the company). Jack Griffin left Meredith as president of its national media group to take over as CEO of Time Inc. Linda Johnson Rice stepped down as CEO of Johnson Publishing, Hachette CEO Alain Lemarchand passed the torch to former Primedia and Source Interlink executive Steve Parr and electronics magnate Sidney Harman bought Newsweek. Â
Smaller consumer publishers are seeing big changes as well. Kalmbach Publishing, which has magazines in the crafts, models and astronomy markets, bought Discover Magazine. (Who could have predicted that when Discover went on the block in May?) Music magazine Paste folded after a "last-minute complication" killed a deal for outside funding, while the editor of racing magazine Speedway Illustrated bought the rights to the title after it folded and plans a return to print.
Foremost for publishers large and small is a shift in revenue streams. Overall, consumer publishers reported that print advertising slipped from 41.9 percent in 2009 to 39.8 percent in 2010 [Charts 1 and 2, page 44]. Larger publishers are demonstrating a larger shift from print advertising than smaller publishers (at least as a ratio of overall revenue), but smaller publishers are reporting e-media as a slightly higher percentage of overall revenue in 2010 (11.4 percent versus 10. 9 percent for bigger publishers). However, with 8 percent to 15 percent considered a good ratio of e-media revenue, the industry as a whole is making progress.Â
Paid subscriptions represented the second largest revenue stream for consumer publishers in 2009 and 2010, with very slight growth this year.
Profits Up
Many consumer publishers are reporting revenue gains in 2010, although that's typically in comparison to the disaster of 2009, rather than the pre-collapse numbers of 2008. However, many publishers are starting to see the cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives they enacted in late 2008 and early 2009 start to come through, bumping up profits. Sixteen percent of both large and small publishers reported they expect overall profitability to be 30 percent or more in 2010, compared to just 9 percent who expected the same last year [Charts 3 and 4]. Thirty-three percent expect profits in the 20-29 percent range (up from 17 percent last year) while 36 percent expect profits to be in the 10 to 14 percent range, compared to 23 percent last year.
Still, 20 percent of respondents say they won't be profitable this year, compared to 29 percent who weren't profitable last year.
Fastest Growing Parts of the Business
Even while it remains fairly small overall, e-media continues to be the fastest growing stream and is even picking up steam. In 2009, e-media was the fastest-growing revenue stream for 42 percent of smaller publishers and 38 percent of larger publishers [Chart 6]. In 2010, e-media is the fastest growing revenue stream for 47 percent of smaller publishers and 54 percent of larger publishers [Chart 7].
"Our revenue is migrating to the Web for 2011," says one respondent. "2010 puts us in position to move to 50 percent digital."
Much of the buzz surrounds the iPad and with good reason. Wired's iPad downloads beat newsstand sales without cannibalizing print. However, Apple remains a difficult partner in terms of both getting apps approved and limiting publisher control over audience and revenue (Sports Illustrated saw its app rejected due to a proposed subscription model that would offer the iPad to print subscribers for free this year with new readers buying content a month at the time). Other digital vendors are scrambling to offer publishers an alternative to selling subscriptions to the iPad and other devices.
Some publishers are trying to define their own e-products. At a time when magazine publishers are racing to market with applications for tablets and smartphones, Bonnier Corp. and Interweave have launched new digital products specifically for viewing on desktops and laptops. Bonnier launched Skiing Interactive, a digital edition with unique content and advertising that was developed specifically for accessing on a computer. Each issue will include features like a navigation scroll bar at the bottom, high definition cover videos, interactive maps and ads that allow users to click through for additional product information.
Separately, Loveland, Colorado-based enthusiast publisher Interweave has launched Quilting Arts in Stitches. The e-publication is available for purchase in Interweave's e-commerce Web site for $14.97 per issue.
While just 24 percent of smaller publishers and 5 percent of larger publishers said print was one of their fastest growing revenue streams, print is actually surpassing expectations for some publishers.
November will be one the The Atlantic's best issues ever and the Financial Times, which expected content revenue to surpass print advertising this year, has postponed that prediction until next year due to an unexpected jump in print advertising revenue.
Newsstand Stagnates
But while print advertising may be showing signs of life, newsstand sales continue to disappoint. Most respondents say they expect newsstand sales to stay the same, while 27 percent of larger publishers and 19 percent of smaller publishers expect an increase [Chart 9]. An almost even number of larger and smaller consumer publishers expect newsstand sales to decrease in 2010. In the first half of this year, unit sales of audited consumer magazines declined to 320 million—a drop 7.6 percent. Revenue declined to $1.28 billion—a fall of 6.7 percent. "Newsstand is our biggest disappointment, other than some success we've had with Barnes & Noble and maybe Borders," says one respondent.
Since 2008, unit sales are down 22.3 percent and revenue off 19.9 percent, while the industry is selling nearly 25 percent fewer copies than it did just a few years ago, according to newsstand consultant Baird Davis.
While publishers and wholesalers are increasingly seeking distribution at specialty stores, "The newsstand, remains a hit-driven market," wrote Davis in FOLIO: sister magazine Audience Development. "Witness the sales of the top 10 titles, ranked by 1st half revenue (1st half unit sales changes in parenthesis)—People (-2.3), US (-7.7), In Touch (3.4), Woman's World (6.9), Star (-11.6), National Enquirer (-8.2), Cosmopolitan (1.6), OK! (-9.5), Life & Style (-10.1) and Globe (-10.8). Overall their unit sales were down 3.3 percent and revenue declined 3.2 percent."Â
Still, some publishers are looking to the newsstand for success with specialty issues. After shuttering Gourmet last fall and announcing the brand will be relaunched as a digital product called Gourmet Live that will be available on multiple devices, Condé Nast is bringing Gourmet back to print in the form of three newsstand-only digital editions, starting with Gourmet Quick Kitchen. A spokesperson declined to say what Gourmet Quick Kitchen's exact distribution will be, but says the model is "based on efficiency and a smaller print run." The debut issue carries a $10.99 cover price.
Remaining Changes for 2010, 2011
Sales and profitability remain the biggest challenges for publishers for the remainder of 2010 and going into 2011 [Chart 10]. However, a significant 27 percent say business development is one of their biggest challenges as well. "We aren't able to access working capital to allow for expansion," says one respondent.
Still, 25 percent of smaller publishers and 41 percent of larger publishers say they plan to launch an ancillary service this year [Chart 11]. "We're launching new print products and see an expansion of our events business," says one respondent.
And with the rampant changes in consumer publishing leadership, there could be dramatic changes in the business models over the next year as well. In announcing the promotion of Robert Sauerberg to president, Condé Nast CEO Charles Townsend said the company needs to "move away from the magazine."
"Print is still a key medium for Condé Nast and will be for a long time to come," Sauerberg told FOLIO: "However, it is not our only focus. Technology and consumer expectations have changed dramatically, and we think this is the moment to double down on the opportunities before us. Our success will be based on being able to provide our content seamlessly across every appropriate platform that exists."
The survey sample of 1,000 was selected by Red 7 Media and Readex Research and included FOLIO: recipients classified as executive management titles at consumer publishing organizations. Materials production, addressing, mailing and tabulation were all handled by Readex Research. Data was collected via mail survey from May 24 to July 13, 2010. The survey was closed for tabulation with 211 usable responses. The margin of error is plus or minus 6.4% at the 95% confidence level.

text: At her awfulest, Suzanne Vale -- the same Ms. Vale of tears and bons mots from Fisher's wisecracking-through-rehab 1987 best-seller ''Postcards From the Edge'' -- stops taking her medication for bipolar disorder. She has a psychotic break, quite different from her usual state of brittle mirth as a Hollywood insider with a daughter by a fellow Hollywood insider who ''forgot to tell her he was gay.'' (She'd fit into a Bruce Wagner tale.) Eventually Suzanne is hospitalized. (She'd fit into an Augusten Burroughs tale.) Then she's released, happy for the mother-and-child reunion with her adored little girl. Fisher's prose is trademark snappy and free-associative, and, as in ''Postcards,'' she gaily courts speculation about the book's real-life models. But there is something disconcertingly blue and lost beneath the book's hectic charms, like dark circles of sleeplessness under the eyes of the life of the party.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 464 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Romeo1201 Horribly dirty furniture and carpets The room (719)I was given initially had horrible stains on all the furniture and carpeting except for the beds. The pullout mattress had fresh blood stains on it when I opened it to put the linens on. The fridge was not working properly and the bathroom had black mold growing. This was totally not acceptable so we were moved to room 703 which was better. Still had stained carpeting and furniture but better. The service was pretty good but at checkout there was room service charges which we never used. I would not recommend this hotel at all. December 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tara39 This hotel did not meet my expectations of a sheraton The room to me was hot and the air condition was not cooling. I called the desk and they sent up a engineer who did nothing but say he would have to go and turn up the main control. I was not happy because I can't sleep when I am hot. I also had a problem getting towels. Housekeeping never had towels. I would have to go down to desk and get towels. I will think twice before staying at sheraton next time. August 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Joe49 TIME TO CLEAN UP YOUR ACT The room I got had dirty carpets and stained chairs at the table. The table and counter were sticky.....we ended up cleaning them and the bathtub looked so dirty that we had housekeeping come and clean up again. The tub still looked dingy and unappealing. The mattress was extremely soft and in general the rooms need a facelift. The hotel itself looks quite nice and the pool area is not bad at all. Excellent staff at the front desk.......always a smile and a good morning or evening whenever they saw you. February 8, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by NHNative Lobby area is impressive Rooms are looking a little tired, but the bed was just heaven. TV in the living room didn't get a signal, there was a handle missing off one of the drawers and there was no blow dryer in the room. After calling twice to get a blow dryer, I finally got one. Also, I had to change my reservation and stay an extra day, but they couldn't link the two reservations - I had to go to the front desk and reactivate my keys. Odd! July 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BigDaddy27 Housekeeping Poor Housekeeping at Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek was inconsistent... one night - did not change towels, restock coffee, we had 3 persons in the room and only left towels for 2 persons on other nights, did not remove breakfast tray and dirty dishes one day.... October 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Vilhelmina This hotel needs much work! Late information about very extensive renovation. Bad cleaning: Toilette cloughed when arriving. No extra linen for bedsofa when arriving late at night, even though we had booked for two children in the room. The pool area was in terrible condition: Cigarettes, plastic glasses and empty cans in the spa, many leaves and much sand ni the pool, loose pavers and broken sunbeds, loose latter. The poolguy was unsure weather or not it was OK to swim since the pool was leaking, etc, etc. April 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by karinblixen Friendly staff Hotel staff were friendly and attentive. Internet was free. Bed was quite comfortable. Room was spacious and clean but a bit dated. Bathroom was very small. Some road noise from an early morning commuter train outside my window. Breakfast was $15. Ample parking. Nice looking lobby. October 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by RBCanes Under construction but trying Hotel is under construction/renovation but we were warned. Wasn't much of an inconvenience and the front desk/hospitality staff went out of there way to please. New fitness center is nice as is Platinum Lounge. Housekeeping is surly, one bar of soap in the room doesn't cut it nor does two shower towels and no water. Struggled to get soap and towels and attitude in return saved me a few dollars in tips. Give the property a chance to finish renovation and then worth a try. February 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by WET22 Terrible suite and poor customer service Check in was okay. We upgraded to Club floor as our room wasn't ready. This room on 7th floor had a "used" smell , had human hairs on one of the bed pillows, and was missing some expected amenities. Upon setting up my computer to work, found 2 cockroaches crawling out of the electrical outlet by the table. Called down to desk, they said "we don't have roaches" and "manager" Tasha said someone will be right up. Wasn't. Some time later, called down again, was told by Tasha someone from housekeeping was coming. Why? - I know how to tell what hairs and bugs are. Asked for a different room and a bellhop to help with the transfer. Another hour. Finally got a different room on 8th floor..smelled lovely, no visible evidence of bugs or hair. But the room safe didn't work, so called down again and was told the maintenance man would be up. Another hour...no show. Called down again..Tasha said he didn't know how to work the safe "resetting" tool. She would leave instructions for Monday. Monday morning has a nice breakfast in Club room (female attendant was terrific every day!) Stopped at front desk to see what time safe would be fixed - they had no work order. Went up to room to retrieve valuables and saw maintenance worker in elevator. Asked nicely if he could take a look at our safe..he said "sure" - came right up with tool, re-set safe, (5 seconds) Was lovely and apologetic and sincere. He is Kwami Saunders and should be PROMOTED for salvaging a very negative experience. We were ready to check out and go the another Hotel. August 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by FromAtlanta Stayed for vacation I stay at various Sheraton Suites for getaways and vacations 5-6 times a year because of the ambience and amenities most offer. While this might be an older hotel it is still really nice. This was my first stay at Ft. Lauderdale and it started off really bad. Upon check in and arriving in my room I found a rotted full eaten corn on the cob under the bed along with used paper towel on floor. I took picture and informed staff and they changed my rooms the next room was nice but the guy who changed it only rekeyed my card key for one night when I was staying for four. He was really unapologetic. After heading out shopping the next day and returning during a busy check in time we found we couldn't get in our room due to this. So, we had to wait in the long line for that. The young lady over the weekend of July 25-27 took care of everything though and made the stay much better! The trip started disappointing in terms of stay but she made it much better getting us taken care of. August 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Maddie777 Going "green" doesn't mean ignore our trash. The first 2 days of our stay was ok. The 3rd day the staff forgot to get our trashbins outside of the room. We called 3 times only to be ignored. Called twice to get a microwave plate that was missing..........never received. Upon checkout didn't receive our $5.00 off food voucher. Unsat. August 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jmll Dated and inexpensive Outlets not working in room,; room service with no backup - therefore couldn't get through. No bottled water in room. Service lackluster at best from restaurant and bar August 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MrJaiBell Needs Improvement Im in the hotel business and visiting the Sheraton hotel, I expected better service. The room did not have a iron, was not stocked with towels, the phone either didn't work or there was no one available to answer my call at the front desk. August 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Adventure707 Hotel has a different look and it's Ok I had a wonderful time during my stay, the reception was nice, but I was very disturb with the various disturbance on the last day, we had at list 3 attendance come to our room between 8am and 10am to asked when we are leaving, they seems to want us out of our room in a hurry, the check out time was 12noon. I was not happy about that at all. One of the attendance actually open the door without nocking. It was a shame. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doubledad Customer Service With access to the club room during our stay we had the opportunity to meet Tommy our host at dinner and Ann at breakfast. All I can say is both were outstanding !!!! Tommy was able to give us advise on what to see and how to see it in addition to fulfilling any request my wife or I ask a true pleasure to meet. Ann was equally great during breakfast and could not do enough for us. With employees like this i will be back. October 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by SWEETC16 not happy needs to be upgraded and exterminated from the bugs. There were too many dirty dishes left in front of my door in the hall way from evening to the next morning. this is what brings bugs to the rooms. August 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by isay Disappointed I reported the bath tub was clogged after taking a shower and yet nothing was done. I saw a roach in the bathroom. I got a couple of insect bites on my legs. And i cannot control the room temperature from my room, it was too warm. July 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MichaelDG Great value - a few problems Beautiful hotel. A few inconveniences: We found our door ajar when returning at the end of the day. The housekeeper never closed it. We were also missing adequate hangers when we checked in. The maid also did not replace the coffee we drank.Last month's HBO Guide was never replaced with the current one. Finally, the drinks and food at the bar were tasty, but VERY pricey Eleven dollars for a small bourbon and coke is very high. August 9, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by PalmLuvr85 All The Comforts of a Five Star Hotel My family recently had the pleasure of spending 9 nights at the Sheraton Cypress Creeks. The facility was extremely well maintained, the aesthetics were classy and pleasant, and the suites were spacious and comfortable. I really liked the the fact that the hotel had such "openness", meaning the elevators were windows, and the balconies to each floor was open, so it did not feel claustrophobic. The rooms were huge...and I loved how it didn't just feel like a "room", but like a large studio apartment. It was also a pleasure to come back each day to a clean room. All in all, the hotel is run very efficiently and we are so happy to have spent our time here. We would definitely come back! June 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gail23 Disappointed This was my second visit, The first one was in March and had a good room I guess, This time I was put in 717, The bed was high in middle and I was falling off bed all nite, the air was noisy and did not cool properly. The bed pillows got switched to soft pillows the second nite do not know why. We were really disappointed this time. This lobby was nice and parking free. They need to redo the hotel and get new beds. May 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BigDaddy27 Did the job We used this hotel for location convenience, reasonable cost and a bed, the restaurant was adequate to get breakfast and a meal when needed. The Saturday night Prime Rib was fantastic. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sg12 Nice atmosphere Very nice rooms nice a large very clean. The downstairs was nice and relaxing watching the water falls and the way the place is decorated. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TheEmu You get more than you pay for This hotel is conveniently located by major Fort Lauderdale arteries. The rooms are large and well-maintained. The courtyard approach is inviting, the staff is on top of things, and the price is a total steal! December 30, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by KKP1 I dislike staying here If it wasnt for the fact that my office is right down the street and my regular hotel is not always available...I would not stay here. The only positive thing that has happened is that they removed the annoying water savers off the faucets. This place is in desperate need of a complete make over...the carpet is stained...and the overall room looks tired. The elevators are painfully slow... March 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Hawa11 This should not be called a Sheraton 1- first room reserved for me still had trash in the trash can, dirty bathroom floor and very nasty carpet. 2- moved to room 535 that had a hugh stain on the carpet by the end of the bed. 3- the lights went out in the entire hotel leaving us with non-working elevators. 4- I took my children to the heated pools to wait out the black out only to step on compiled hair on the filter. April 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shane25 DISAPPOINTED First, charging $10 a day for Wi-Fi is ludicrous. And it's not even a decent high speed!! Second, we were not informed housekeeping came at 9am and were woken up. Maybe had we been given a "do not disturb" sign we might have used it. But our room didn't have one. Third, a pair of shoes from a previous guest were found under the bed. I guess the staff doesn't clean very well. September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BP72 This hotel is very welcoming We found a scenic waterfall in lobby which made a perfect background for pictures & the dining area. Impressive from the various levels above as well. The pool provided an awesome relaxing atmosphere where you could meet other guests, and swim of course!!! We enjoyed the big comfortable chairs in the lobby and bar area too! March 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ginger777 A Way to Go For a hotel trying to recapture a time of success it may have had in the past, it is doing some things right. *Excellent staff at the front desk and at the breakfast buffet. *New furniture and bedding in the room *Quick, friendly help when I couldn't connect to the internet on my computer. *Nice atmosphere in the atrium *Beautiful marble floors. *Quiet room on the opposite side from the train. *Pop machine worked and prices were good. The details is where attention is needed: *The bottom of the bathroom door stuck on the floor and caused potential injury as it got stuck part way open/closed. Just needs sanding. *There were bugs in the bathroom and possibly the furniture. *The bed was made and towels replace each day, but nothing replenished-water, soap, toilet paper. Had to go to the front desk to get these. A checklist would help here. *Room did not appear to have been vacuumed during our stay. *The ice machine on 7 did not work. The note referred the guest to floor 3, but there wasn't a machine at all on 3. So-no ice. * There was a foot of water surrounding the hotel on Thursday when we returned to the hotel. It was at least a foot deep and we had to take off our shoes to walk through the lot to get to the hotel. This seems to occur frequently (according to someone in the hotel) and is being addressed, along with other parking lot issues. However, couldn't a pump be used to divert the water? The beautiful marble floors were then very wet inside and slippery. August 2, 2014

Delish Cooking School: Types of Mushrooms
There are a lot of mushroom varieties to choose from these days at farmers' markets, and many are even available at supermarkets. If your only experience with mushrooms has been button and field, you're in for a culinary treat. Get a lesson in what various mushroom types look like and how to use them with this exclusive content from the Delish Cooking School cookbook.

Large, white mushrooms that are fully open with gills exposed are more flavorful than smaller white varieties (buttons, caps). Earthy and rich, they are great for casseroles, stuffing, or grilling; portobellos make a great substitute.

RELEASED: Oct. 30, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Symphony Orchestra will perform its fall concert at 2 p.m. Nov. 9 in Gantner Concert Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
The Symphony Orchestra, directed by Nobuyoshi Yasuda, associate professor of music, will begin the concert with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, op. 92 in A major. The piece was premiered in Vienna on Dec. 8, 1813, at a charity concert for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Hanau.
The orchestra next will perform Benjamin Britten's "Four Sea Interludes" from the opera "Peter Grimes." Each of the four pieces is an interlude created to reflect stage action used to set the tone of the play. The opera in which these pieces originate tells the story of a fisherman who fails to relate to fellow citizens in Borough, England.
The concert will conclude with "Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes by Carl Maria von Weber" by Paul Hindemith. The piece, written and performed in four movements, was composed in the summer of 1943during World War II. It started as a ballet Hindemith was to write for Leonide Massine, who suggested he study the music of Carl Maria von Weber. After a falling out with Massine, Hindemith saved the music he had written for the ballet and created this piece.
Tickets, available at the UW-Eau Claire Service Center, 715-836-3727 or 800-949-UWEC, are $5 for the general public; $4 for those 62 and older, children 17 and younger and faculty and staff with a university ID; and $1.50 for students with a university ID.
Tickets for all campus events also are on sale at the Service Center's ticket office in the main lobby of Haas Fine Arts Center. The ticket outlet is open Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and is closed during holidays and academic breaks.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Van Rooyen, Ronel email@example.com URN etd-10102012-172457 Document Title Exploring stressors in air traffic controllers in South Africa Degree MCom Department Human Resource Management Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr G J Steyn Supervisor Keywords
- critical incident stress management
- air traffic controllers
Date 2012-09-07 Availability restricted AbstractThe aim of this study was to explore the stressors in Air Traffic Controllers in South Africa by means of identifying the possible causes of stress as well as to determine the demographic differences such as age, sex and size of Air Traffic Control Centres in these stressors. Air traffic control is commonly considered a stressful job, and the researcher decided to examine the situation in South Africa.
The air traffic control job was also studied to identify the causes of stress as Air Traffic Controllers are very important in their own right and the aviation world are becoming increasingingly complex in which air traffic control plays an essential part. Air Traffic Controllers perform extremely demanding and challenging work, as indicated by the fact that many controllers retire before their acctual retirement with stress-related work disabilities.
Stressors, applicable to air traffic controllers, were discussed to help the controller to identify his or her source of stress. It is important because stress is an everyday fact of life, which cannot be avoided but must be adjusted to. Stress is often regarded as an individual problem, however, there are characteristics of work, called "job stressors" that can cause a stress reaction in most workers.
The data was collected by means of the Experience of Work and Life Circumstances Questionnaire (WLQ), that was sent to all Air Traffic Control Stations across South Africa. The questionnaire was developed to determine the levels and causes of stress of employees. The WLQ endeavours to establish whether employees experience normal, high or very high levels of stress, and also identify those factors, which cause these levels of stress. The questionnaire consists of three different parts, namely, a demographic questionnaire, experience of work which determine the levels of stress and finally, circumstances and expectations which analyse the causes of stress.
It was clear from this study that for Air Traffic Controllers, uncertainty and lack of control over their own destiny and immediate circumstances, contributed to an increase in the levels of stress. It was clear that Air Traffic Controllers value their skills and want to be rewarded accordingly. Therefore, it was further demonstrated that remuneration, employee benefits and employee policies contribute substantially to the levels of stress experienced by Air Traffic Controllers.

But when a nonprofit promotes a new idea to actually employ the homeless, well, those same government and homeless-agency leaders can't seem to spare a dime.
Consider the plight of StreetSmarts, a struggling monthly magazine about the homeless that's now being sold on Broward street corners. The idea is to put the unemployed to work actually selling a publication instead of panhandling. Of the buck it costs, the vendor keeps 60 cents and 40 goes back to the nonprofit for expenses.
Similar papers across the country have succeeded because they point a spotlight on poverty issues such as gentrification of neighborhoods and black market shelters. StreetSmarts is still trying to find a local focus: The cover story features a homeless Santa, and there's a celebrity interview with Martin Sheen, which was taken from another publication.
The publishers have sent out hundreds of letters to homeless coalitions and government funders, only to be turned down each and every time. An attempt to get some money from the Broward Coalition For the Homeless led to an offer of a $500 ad -- that's if the paper runs a story written by the person running the Coalition.
Looking for a few good metaphors?
A number of Hollywood residents lobbed literary devices at the political backers of Diamond on the Beach, Inc. during last Wednesday's city commission meeting.
Eighteen months have passed since the commission approved the company's lease to build a luxury hotel at Ocean Drive and Johnson Street, but Diamond on the Beach still has failed to secure financing for the project. The antidevelopment forces have resorted to pulling out the similes and analogies.
"When these agreements were made, the city thought Diamond on the Beach would hit a home run for Hollywood," said Joe Schneider. "Instead, it's not even been able to get to first base."
Locker-room language is fraught with double-entendres. "Who's carrying this baby?" asked Estelle Loewenstein. "We really don't consider this to be an immaculate conception."
Jack Byer urged the politicians on the dais to "end this bad marriage now."
If the city doesn't divorce itself from the deal, warned Johnson Street resident Vincent Dondero, it will end up with "a rhinestone on the beach."
Several locals alluded to the recent legal troubles surrounding the SunCruz casino boats operated by Diamond on the Beach developer Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis.
"Mr. Ghoulis,..." said Byer, pausing to excuse his Freudian slip, "gives Hollywood a black eye."
After telling us he's tired of so much lobster, the Sun-Sentinel's Insider is going on a much welcomed vacation.
Maybe it was too much champagne. Jose Lambiet was partying on Paradise Island with the rich and pretentious, intimating that so and so had full glasses of alcoholic beverages. (My goodness!) We think Insider must have joined in because he wrote that Larry Flynt is the man behind Penthouse magazine. Oh Jose, that's Bob Guccione. Any insider knows that Flynt begat Hustler. Rest up.

Eh, there are worse things in life ;)
Happy Monday!
WELCOME! This blog is a personal project I started in August 2011 with the goal of drawing and posting an illustrated status message a day - I haven't stopped since. On weekday mornings, I get up, draw a cartoon, and post whatever I can manage to before going to work. I began cartooning to find my voice. Still searching, but I've learned that the attempt is everything. What's your status message today?

Hi there! I was surfing the internet for some cool pics about being single and eventually your blog'd popped out. And it's amazing, honestly! I just love The Single Girl Adventures — it's funny and smart and i gotta admit — has a lot of sad truth in it. But still — these cartoons of yours are so good, inspiring in some way. You're great! Hope to see some 'The Married Girl Adventures' soon ;)

Cape Air flights to T.F. Green may not begin this year
Despite a $900,000 guarantee from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), an expected scheduled air service between Block Island and T.F. Green Airport in Providence is still in the planning process.
Last August, the DOT awarded a grant to the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, its partners Cape Air and the Puerto Rico tourism board. In part, this money will go to providing a Cape Air summer air service between Block Island and T.F. Green.
The Block Island service was planned for May to October. Flights were predicted to take about 28 minutes and cost $60 to $80 each way. There would be four daily round trips on average. In the winter season, scheduled flights will run between two islands in Puerto Rico.
But the service may not get off the ground this year.
"Our initial thought was to have the service starting in summer of 2013, but as you can imagine, we are approaching this process very diligently and deliberately," Trish Lorino, Cape Air managing director of marketing and public relations, wrote in an email.
"Our service into Block Island is contingent upon securing a new (different) aircraft. That process is still ongoing. We will likely not be serving Block Island until next year," Lorino wrote.
The bulk of Cape Air's current fleet consists of Cessna 402Cs, which are too large to land on the short Block Island and Puerto Rican airstrips.
Cape Air is still looking at options, explained Lorino, and has approached several different manufacturers about an aircraft that would be suitable.
When the grant was awarded to RIAC, with Cape Air as the designated airline, Westerly-based New England Airlines filed a letter of opposition to it, particularly the process by which the grant was awarded.
New England Airlines runs a scheduled service year-round between Block Island and Westerly with its fleet of Britten-Norman Islanders.
Company owner Bill Bendokas told the Times last June that he had been alerted about the grant application in late May and was given only until June 7 to respond.
"New England Airlines would of course also be interested in establishing a Providence service," Bendokas had said last June, "but it is past the point when we could participate on a level playing field."
When contacted this week by the Times, Bendokas offered no comments on the possible service delay until 2014.
The grant money amounts to a two-year revenue guarantee, meaning that up to $900,000 would be tapped if the new service loses money. The money would return to the DOT if the service meets or exceeds revenue expectations.
Lorino said that the revenue guarantee wouldn't go into effect until Cape Air begins service.
The DOT awarded 33 grants nationwide totaling more than $13.9 million through its Small Community Air Service Development Program.
