Hello All,
I am taking a cruise on the Disney Dream in September. Very excited for my first Disney Cruise! In the interest of going low budget, I am trying to arrange my hotel and ground transportation outside of the Disney Cruise website.
The Cruise is Sunday afternoon through Thursday morning. I'll need transportation from an airport (Orlando International) hotel to Port Canaveral on Sunday. After the cruise on Thursday, I'd like transportation from Port Canaveral to a Hotel on Hotel Plaza Blvd in Disney World. (Using loyalty program points to stay for free rather than staying at a Disney Hotel.) After a day in the parks, we'll depart Friday morning and need transportation from the hotel back to the Airport.
Any thoughts about the most efficient and cost effective way to do this?

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
The Empire Strips Back is a show unlike any other. Taking the classic characters from the beloved Star Wars film franchise and dropping them into the world of Burlesque. No expense has been spared in re-creating the details and magic of the original three films, if you are a lover of Star Wars or good entertainment this show is for you.
In 2011 Russall S. Beattie created the first run of Star Wars Burlesque in Australia. It was booked in a 150 capacity room, with the intention to run for 3 nights only. Those three nights sold out in record time, and the show has gone beyond all expections. Since then it has travelled the country and has delighted audiences of over 20,000 people. Still the show was designed for a small stage, and feeling like they had never taken full advantage of a full theatre stage, nor realised the ideas that were just a pipe dream for the original show, the producers destroyed all the props and costumes in May 2013 and started rebuilding a new show from scratch: The Empire Strips Back: A Star Wars Burlesque Parody.
Why go to that much effort for a Burlesque show? It's important to the cast and crew that the show feels like an extension of the Star Wars universe, The Empire Strips Back taps into what makes these films special and stand the test of time, the sense of wonder – all with tongue firmly in cheek.
It takes the best things of your childhood, and naturally mixes them with the best things about being an adult.
The new show is about to embark on it's biggest tour to date, starting on March 13th in Bathurst. So get ready to indulge yourself in a sci-fi fantasy of intergalactic proportions – George Lucas would never have dreamt that his characters could be used in such a manner, guaranteed to get some hearts racing with The Force.

Today I planted a Legacy sugar maple. There were several roots at the top of the potting soil coming directly off the trunk but they seemed comparatively small. I washed most of the potting soil off to bareroot as much of the root mass as possible and found the original flare several inches below the secondary roots that must have come about from being buried too deep in the pot. I proceeded to plant the original root flare just below ground level leaving the secondary roots way up in the air. I then pulled them out and covered as much as I could with dirt and the rest with mulch to prevent drying.
My first instinct is to prune them but this is probably at least 1/2 - 3/4 of the root system including feeder roots. Should I leave them for a year or two or clip them now?
Follow-Up Postings:
What a mess! If you think there will be a large enough rootball left, if you remove the upper roots, go ahead and prune them off. Since you've decided to plant based on the original rootflare, I'd recommend at least removing some of the adventitious roots (probably starting with the largest one). I'm not saying that you necessarily should have, but you could have planted this tree deeper and treated the new roots as the root flare. The tree has already done a significant amount of adaptation to that planting-depth level and would have probably done just fine in the long run. Most maples can adapt to being planted a little deeper much better than many other species. I hope your tree doesn't suffer from having it's former buried trunk areas newly exposed to sunlight and the elements. You didn't pay anything for that tree did ya???? |
Actually, I left the roots intact despite my urge to remove them for the feedback in this topic. I sure don't mind replanting the tree myself if the consensus is 'bury the flare' =) I also have the tree temporarily mulched up to the secondary flare to avoid drying and sunlight exposure. The tree looked good in the pot with the new flare visible. I never would have known the original was down there if I hadn't washed the potting soil off. I do think I exaggerated the amount of potential root loss. Is probably closer to 30-40% at most. I have done similar removal of secondary "high" roots on red maple cultivars with pretty good success. Just not sure how sugar maples would respond to this treatment. No one wishes trees were free more than my wife! But I have found no such source for free cultivar trees. I will be sure to keep it to myself if I ever do discover such a heavenly treasure, though lol Thanks, as always, for responding. I sure do appreciate it. John |
Most stock I see is badly rootbound so this one looks great to me - except you planted it too high. I would simply re-plant it at the correct depth and of course mulch it afterward. Having the graft union get buried over time could actually be a good thing as the scion might make its own roots and become independent of the stock. No need to retain the stock in this case as it only served to enable the grower to produce a finished specimen quickly. Not the same as when dwarfing or pest-resistant rootstocks are employed. And many combinations that appear to be compatible may not actually be, failures sometimes taking decades to become evident. |
Alright, I trust both of you. I'll replant it tomorrow if I don't get rained out. I planted at that flair initially then thought about washing all the soil off and discovered the original flare. I did expose and loosen quite a lot of roots in the process so at least the washing was not in vain. Bboy, since the graft is still quite a bit higher than the adventitious roots, how would you suggest I bury them over time? (After replanting it to the new flare of course) Would you keep mulch up to the graft line or just bury the whole thing in the ground? I am vaguely familiar with stories of a researcher that buried trees to the graft line way back when. John |
If it were me, I wouldn't bury the graft; I'd probably just replant at the depth it had been planted before. But, if you do want to bury the graft, go ahead and do it now. |

you didnt answer the question .. did you really pay money for that???? i would return it.. period ... what a freakin nightmare ... well.. if you paid under 50 bucks.. whatever.. play with it ... if you paid $250.. get your money back.. and buy a quality tree ... this would be the first and only time.. a mulch volcano would be appropriate.. lol ... why do you imagine.. the trunk is thinner at ground level ... as compared to where the high roots come out.. does that tell any of the tree experts anything??? .. i dont know.. i am asking??? ken |
"you didnt answer the question .. did you really pay money for that???? " Really??? "No one wishes trees were free more than my wife! But I have found no such source for free cultivar trees." It was a $65 7-gallon with very nice shape (even the wife likes it!). It appears that growth this year was about 4". I think this is due to recent potting up. When that took place, the roots in question developed in response to being buried too deep hence the limited growth. I certainly won't return it as the drive to get it is about 3 hours round trip and this does not seem to be a terminal ailment. Ken, I would wager the trunk has swelled due to the tree now considering that area the true flare after the previous discussion in this topic. Just my guess =) John |
WOW John, I am sorry about that. I enver would have expected that. At least I have a possible solution for you. Make about a 4' wide mound to plant the tree in. Make the old root flare about even with the original ground level, awhile the new developing root flare will be at the top of the mound. The ideal is that the mound will allow gas exchange to all roots while the tree sorts out it's root issues. By the time the caliper is 8-10" the mound won't be noticeable anymore. Our clay has necessitated that I plant almost everything we have in this manner, and ti has worked extremely well. Also now that I am expanding the mulch rings around them, the mound is not at all noticeable. Lastly, the nursery needs to know about this. I have talked to them before about root bound plants etc, and they have been the most forthcoming of anyone I've talked to about it. Arktrees |
Ken, The thinner below the new roots IMHO is due to the tree putting it's efforts into the new flare, and not the old one. Result being an increase in caliper at the point instead of lower down. Also, the tree is most likely containerized. Meaning it was field grown, harvested bare-root and potted for fall/spring sale. IF that is correct, then I think the new developing flared started in the field probable due to the old flare being buried to control weeds. Well, that's my hypothesis anyway. Truth may vary. Arktree |

so ark.. are you suggesting it is turning the thinning trunk into a root??? did i offend you jon ..??.. i didnt mean to !!!! thats a tree worth 65 bucks .... like i said.. if you had paid 250 for a PRIME SPECIMEN ... then i would question its value .. ken |
Not offended at all. I find it funny when you ask a question (usually in haste to respond) and the answer is provided in a previous post ;) I do it all the time, too. Recently, I missed an OP's location for tree recommendation and complained about it when it was BOLDED in the topic title lol John |
Ken, You know, I hadn't thought about it like that, but I guess I could see that. I was just thinking of it in terms that the tree was spending it's root development energy at the new root flare at the top, so that anything below would not be growing as much or not at all depending upon circumstances. But with that said, functionally, the trunk below the upper flare, would basically act like a root with the new root flare in place. Also, I want to emphasize, that I don't "KNOW" that this is what's happening. It just seems to fit the evidence at hand. Arktrees |

who needs to be confused with the facts.. what others said.. lol ... i tell you what i think.. whether it agrees with others or not.. so i usually skim those posts ... you know i dont do the 'science' definitions.. and frankly.. i usually just get confused with all those fancy words .. i try to break it down.. to language.. i MIGHT actually remember .. somewhere down the line ... anyway.. crimminey.. i missed the obvious .. its a weed maple.. leave it exposed for a week.. plant it.. probably couldnt kill it if you wanted to ... lol .. one more time on that meme?? [sp???] ken ps: i still dont see where it was prior .. but i am in a very early morning coffee buzz.. the screen is kinda vibrating ... prime typing time.. rather than focusing.. with the eyeballs.. lol ... |

'Legacy' is actually a really nice sugar maple cultivar! It doesn't get as big as species sugar maple (from what I've read), and it has really nice fall color. Good luck! |

Threat in patch 3.0
Does anybody know how spells like consecration, exorcism, and judgements are going to scale in 3.0? Is it based off of AP + SP, or is SP entirely useless because it is calculated using the higher of the two values? What good is Touched by the Light if we are using attack power instead?
Oh, and does the Judgement speed reduction effect work on raid bosses, or is it a wasted talent for raiding?

I felt it would be better to post in the gear forums since threat is gear-related. The talent issue with Touched by the Light ties into the gear question since spell power won't be used for tanking, and the Jugdement question I asked because I happened to think of it while posting and figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.
I don't think I should really have to explain why I posted where I posted, if the mods feel this is the wrong section they're free to move it to where they think it should be. Please answer the question or don't post.

I figured that the info wouldn't be in there since the sticky says that anything related to 3.0 shouldn't be posted there, but I checked anyway and didn't see anything. I'll dig around later but until then, an answer to the question would be nice.

text: I discovered this little DIY over at Cape 27 thanks to a House Crash post from Young House Love . I pinned it and waited way too long to make it. I knew I had to since I had some leftover mason jars from these babies. I will admit, it did not take only 20 minutes. It took me and the mister around 4 days to get it done between not having a drill or the right tools. Luckily we borrowed them and were finally ready to tackle this thing. I will confess, we are now proud owners of a drill people! I know, I'm impressed too! Days after completing this I got inspired to finally get one (thanks to a coworker selling it!) Maybe it was a sign? Anyways, the end result is pretty sweet. I felt like I had accomplished something huge after all my hammered fingers (true story). Who knew working with a little piece of reclaimed wood would be so hard. Check out the tutorial here. You know you want to. Please let me know how long it takes you to make it if you do! HA

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ella-NJ!
Facts about Ella-NJ
- Breed: Cane Corso
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Young
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Female
Ella-NJ's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Ella is a 12 month old female brindle Cane Corso. She needs an experienced adopter that is understanding of the guardian behaviors in this breed. Ella would do best in a home with children 10 years and older. Her ideal home will have another dog as a companion. Ella came into the shelter with her sister Sophie. At this time we feel it is better that the girls are separated as Ella is very dependent on her sister. We are still working through her anxieties but she has come a long way. She is more Corso in personality, naturally protective and leery of strangers. She is continuing to become more and more outgoing and less shy but it will take more time. She is house broken and crate trained and gets along with other dogs. She is currently living with an excellent trainer and will continue to be worked with on a daily basis. Ella is located in NJ, adopter must be willing to travel to meet and adopt her.
Other Pets at East Coast Gentle Giants Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ella-NJ, a Virginia Beach Cane Corso dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cane Corso for sale in Virginia Beach, or seeking a Cane Corso dog from a breeder in Virginia Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Virginia Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Virginia Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!

Christopher Columbus lands in the New World, Oktoberfest finds its roots, Sid is arrested for allegedly killing Nancy, and Matthew Shepard dies, all on this day.
1998: Matthew Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming, dies at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, five days after he was beaten, robbed and left tied to a wooden fence post outside of Laramie, Wyoming. Police arrested Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson shortly after the attack, finding a bloody gun and Shepard's shoes and wallet in their truck. The two would eventually each be sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. Shepard's murder brought national and international attention to the contention of hate crime legislation at the state and federal levels.

Public Hearing for Proposed Bylaw #1631 Municipal Development Plan
February 10, 2015 at 6:00 PM at Council Chambers in the Civic Centre
Kainaiwa Children's Services Corporation is requesting your assistance in the "Our Dreams Matter too" Campaign/Walk on Monday, June 11, 2012. Please call Stacey at 403-737-2900 to register.
Help Give First Nations children the same chance to grow up safely at home, get a good education, be healthy, and proud of their cultures.
Encourage children, youth, families, schools and organizations in your area to write letters to your MP and the Prime Minister supporting culturally based equity for First Nations children and organize a walk to a mail box in your community!
It is on Monday June 11, 2012 from the Old Outwest Gas Bar to the Post Office in Standoff at BTA which is the fourth anniversary of the Prime Minister's apology for Residential Schools.
First Nations children get less funding for services like education, health and child welfare than all other children enjoy. This makes it hard for First Nations children to achieve their dreams and grow up proud of who they are. This walk is to show how many people support First Nations children receiving the same opportunity to succeed as all other children in ways that respect their cultures and languages.
This peaceful and respectful walk supports three campaigns:
While we encourage the walks, we also very much appreciate people who take the time to send letters. Postage is free for letters to the Prime Minister and Members of Parliament. Download a sample letter at http://fncfcs.com/our-dreams-matter-too/participate
Donations can be made on-line, or by mailing a cheque or money order payable to the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada to: Suite 401, 309 Cooper Street, Ottawa Ontario, K2P 0G5
Please support our children by raising awareness through this walk, hope to see you there!
June 11, 9:30am to 12:00pm
Begin @ 9:30am at the junction of Hiway 2 and Glenwood Turnoff end at the BT Administration Post Office.
403-737-2900. Kainaiwa Children's Services Corporation Box 120 Standoff, AB T0L1Y0
Rain or Shine. Pls dress accordingly. Call Stacey at Kainaiwa Childrens Services Corporation @ 403-737-2900 or register by email firstname.lastname@example.com. KCSC will have a Police escort for the safety of our participants.

LG's Vu series is a bit of an oddball thanks to its 4:3 aspect ratio, an idea that even Apple has abandoned on its phones. But the company seems intent on making it work for at least one more device, and so we get the LG Vu 3, shorn of Optimus branding like the flagship G2. And that's not the only thing that the Vu 3 has in common with the G2.
In a short press release sent out this evening, LG announced that it would be ditching the word (is it a word?) "Optimus" from its premium branding, opting to keep only the "G".
Furthermore, the release reaffirms the name of the company's upcoming flagship – G2.
The release contained one other tidbit – going forward, "LG's premium 4:3 display smartphones will be rebranded as simply 'Vu'." Yes, there will be at least one more Vu, if not more.
The LG Optimus Vu, which launched on Verizon as the LG Intuition with Verizon earlier this month, was undoubtedly a strange device. Taking a page from Samsung's – ahem – note book, LG created the Vu for the phablet market, but decided to go with a somewhat awkward 4:3 aspect ratio, adding to the device's laundry list of quirks.
Well, the Korean manufacturer has just officially announced the Vu's successor – the Optimus Vu II.
Do you like phones that look like they've been through a taffy puller? Then the LG Intuition (aka Optimus Vu) may be the phablet for you. The Intuition for Verizon was announced last week, and is available officially starting today, though Wirefly has (as usual) managed to offer it at a slightly more reasonable price: just $150 on contract (new agreement or upgrade). That's $50 less than Verizon is selling it for, so there's no denying it's a deal.
After an exclusive stint in South Korea and Japan, LG's Optimus Vu is about to take various other parts of the world by storm. Select countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America will be seeing the Vu hit store shelves in September, and I imagine it's going to be pretty hard to miss. It's big. That's the joke.
LG's press release says the Vu "blurs the line" between phones and tablets for a "truly unique experience." I'll certainly buy that.
We're not exactly sure why, but LG has developed a gigantic new device called the Optimus Vu. And while the growing market for "mega-phones" seems to be getting more and more crowded every day, we have to say, LG's takes the cake for ridiculousness. The Vu's 5-inch display may not be absurdly large, but it is absurdly shaped. A 4:3 1024x768 (think CRT, Windows 98, etc.) display on the device makes it ridiculously wide, and also very oddly proportioned.
MWC is still a few days away, and we're already starting to get some pretty great information on the devices that will shape the mobile electronics world in 2012.
Adding to the list of pre-MWC news items, the Italian blog Telefonino.net has posted a series of videos and photos, showcasing LG's complete Android lineup for 2012, from the LG Optimus 4X HD (which we mentioned yesterday) to the Optimus 3D MAX, to the Optimus LTE.

Our research focuses on how the innate and adaptive immune systems cooperate during development and resolution of airway inflammation. In my PhD and early postdoctoral studies, I concentrated on demonstrating that T lymphocytes (Th2 cells in particular) are essential in regulation of the inflammatory changes in the lung. These cells, however, cannot exert a proper function by themselves. The pulmonary innate immune system both cells and released epithelial products, play a very important role in shaping the direction and extent of the adaptive immune changes and the consequent inflammatory airway response. Research fellows in my laboratory are involved in projects studying asthma exacerbation by environmental exposures (cigarette smoke and ozone inhalation or psychosocial stress). We investigate the role of lung collectins, IgE-mediated immune mechanisms, promoter regulation of the surfactant protein D gene and mechanisms of corticosteroid resistance. My laboratory is involved in multiple collaborations with the Airways Biology Initiative, the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology and the Allergy & Immunology Section. Our projects are funded by the NIH and also supported by grants from the American Lung Association and the pharmaceutical industry. We work in a lively, highly collaborative laboratory setting and have one of the best animal facilities at UPenn for our transgenic mice. The main techniques include lung physiology (pulmonary function testing), the use of specifically designed animal exposure and plethysmography chambers and state of the art setups for a wide spectrum of immunological, cell and molecular biology techniques.
Current basic research projects open to fellow participation:
Innate immune regulation of ozone-induced exacerbation of asthma.
The surface area of an adult lung has approximately the same size as a football field. This area is constantly bombarded by inhaled foreign particles and yet it normally remains inflammation and infection free. The mechanisms that ensure both the elimination of inhaled toxic, infectious or allergenic material and protection from an ensuing inappropriate immune response are unclear but we know that the resident innate and adaptive immune mechanisms play a key function. This project aims to unravel dendritic cell-mediated regulatory pathways during development of inflammatory airway changes. My laboratory was one of the few that originally raised the importance of the lung collectin, SP-D in allergen-induced airway inflammation and the one that discovered a feedback regulation between Th2 cytokines (IL-4/IL-13) and IL-6 with the SP-D gene. Our current studies support a novel concept that lectin-like modulation of the innate and the adaptive immune responses in the lung facilitates resolution of the inflammatory airway changes and is necessary to prevent chronic damage. These studies are important because they will provide us with unique, novel opportunities to control and manipulate the pulmonary immune system.
Social stress and steroid resistance in allergic airway inflammation.
Psychosocial stress has a severe impact on the course of chronic asthma but the mechanisms are poorly defined. Altered innate immune cell-T cell interactions may play a role in stress-induced enhancement of the allergic immune response. This project will study the importance of altered glucocorticoid responsiveness by immune and epithelial cells and the role of the innate immune lung collectins in the impact of psychosocial stress on allergic airway inflammation. We developed a unique mouse model to mimic these conditions in order to unravel the cellular and molecular regulatory pathways.
Role of TSLP in allergic airway inflammation.
Air pollution, particularly O3, induces exacerbations of asthma that substantially worsen morbidity and mortality. Regulation of pulmonary dendritic cell maturation and migration is important in protection from development of chronic damage. Currently, neither the effects of O3 on dendritic cells nor the consequent alterations in the pulmonary immune system are understood. We hypothesize here that a protective presence of SP-D in the normal airways inhibits activation of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). This gene encodes a hemopoietic cytokine proposed to signal through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the TSLP receptor and the IL-7R alpha chain. It mainly impacts myeloid cells and induces the release of T cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells. Alternative splicing of this gene in humans results in two transcript variants and has been shown to be strongly associated with predisposition to asthma. This project will unravel the importance of TSLP in ozone-induced exacerbation of the asthmatic changes using mouse models.

Of all the technological advances in golf, arguably none has revolutionized the game more than the motorized cart. Scourged by purists, the now ubiquitous buggy has literally taken golf to new levels: into terrain so vertiginous it's otherwise navigated only on skis or by rope and belay. Nowhere is this more evident than in Colorado, where without the aid of an E-Z-GO even Lance Armstrong's legs would burn during a round at any number of Rocky Mountain layouts. And the list keeps growing: Over the past decade and a half, more than a hundred new courses, the work of virtually all of the game's finest architects, have opened across the state, from the red-rock mesas of Grand Junction to the rough-hewn sandhills near the Nebraska border.
But it's not as if golf just arrived here. Cherry Hills Country Club outside Denver has hosted three U.S. Opens, including in 1960, when Arnold Palmer began a final-round charge to victory by driving the green at the par-four opening hole. A year earlier, Jack Nicklaus won the U.S. Amateur at the Broadmoor, the iconic Colorado Springs resort, which, by the way, will stage the 2008 Senior Open.
Beyond the state's double-black-diamond golf, its gourmet food and classical music festivals thrive in the glorious settings of Aspen and Vail. And the Denver Art Museum recently unveiled a striking new Daniel Libeskind-designed addition, a tangle of long, sharp, shiny triangles that evokes the mountains and stands as a symbol of a revitalized city.
Where to Play
The Broadmoor, East * * * * *
Host of two U.S. Amateurs and the 1995 Women's Open, this historic parkland layout is already being groomed for next year's Senior Open. But it's the bones of the Broadmoor's East course that impress the most: a seamless combination of strategic Donald Ross holes from the original 1918 design and brawnier holes built by Robert Trent Jones Sr. more than a generation later. Towering pines and oaks frame the bentgrass fairways, and steep bunkers and false fronts protect some of the most indecipherably crowned greens this side of Pinehurst. When putting, you're better off trusting your ears instead of your eyes: Every quarter-hour, bells peal from the Will Rogers Shrine atop nearby Cheyenne Mountain, and every putt, without fail, breaks away from the shrine. Architects: Donald Ross, 1918; Robert Trent Jones Sr., 1958. Yardage: 7,130. Par: 72. Slope: 135. Greens Fee: $190. Contact: 1 Lake Avenue, Colorado Springs; 800-634-7711, broadmoor.com.
The Broadmoor, Mountain * * * * 1/2
Completing an arc begun as an amateur, Jack Nicklaus returned to the Broadmoor as an architect in 2003. His charge was to completely redesign the Mountain course, which had been chewed up by underground springs and erosion. The course reopened last year, and it's safe to say that the Golden Bear triumphed again, adding penal rough and meaty shoulders to a site that clings to the side of Cheyenne Mountain. Despite opening with a string of five par fours, the course bucks and kicks with such variety that it never gets monotonous—and never lets up. Bunkers gape from the landing areas, and greens shed approaches that have the misfortune of finding the wrong tier. Architects: Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, 1975; Jack Nicklaus, 2006. Yardage: 7,637. Par: 72. Slope: 149. Greens Fee: $190. Contact: 4325 South Club Drive, Colorado Springs; 800-634-7711, broadmoor.com.

The earthquake that was Operation Lost Trust shook the very foundations of South Carolina politics to the core back in the early 90′s. Corruption, greed and vote buying ushered in sweeping ethics reforms that demanded better of our elected officials and those running for office.
But in these last days of the Columbia mayoral runoff, a recent video has left us scratching our heads wondering if, yet again, history is doomed to repeat itself.
Last Thursday, former mayoral candidate Aaron Johnson had a group of student voters interviewed for his new online show "This Is Columbia." The video of Benedict College students being driven to the Richland County election office to vote absentee, tells quite a story.
As Johnson put it…
The team that shot the footage at the voter registration office was dispatched when we heard that Benedict students were organizing to vote absentee on Thursday, April 15th. We were originally doing a story on student and young people participating in the election and the runoff, but when we found out incentives were being offered and students were being taken to cast absentee ballots by candidate Steve Benjamin's staff members we decided to release the footage.
The footage was captured with the permission of all interviewees. The woman interviewed in the released interview provided her name as Aja Wright. We have interviews with several other students who were participating in Benjamin campaign's voter transportation and incentive program.
Driving people to the polls, in and of itself, is not wrong; but from what the student in the interview, Aja Wright, said, there was more than just free rides to the election office. "The young man, he's on the campaign for Steve Benjamin, and he has 'incentatives' to get the students out there to vote. You know, you have the 'Party Bus', and he's giving people food and drinks and everything to come out, you know, to come out and vote. We've also been registering people to vote too, as well."
The Pulse also received word on Friday from an eyewitness at Benedict College that Benjamin personnel and former City Manager/Police Chief Charles Austin had held a luncheon open to students who either were voting or had voted absentee.
In response to the YouTube video, Free Times is reporting…
Benjamin's campaign said Monday that they don't have much to say about the video, other than to note that the person speaking is never identified.
"We have been offering rides to anyone" using a variety of vehicles, said Benjamin's campaign spokesman Michael Wukela. "And we have not been saying 'Vote Benjamin.' We've been saying 'Vote.'"
The video in question was released on Friday, and now has 1000+ views on YouTube.
In response, former Chairman of the State Election Commission, William DePass, said, "I conducted the largest voter registration drive that had ever taken place and recruited Billy Webster as my co-chairman…and they wouldn't even let us give new registrants a free cup of coffee at Bojangle's (which the Websters owned at the time) because it violated the law."
There is a place and time for voter registration.
There is a place and time for encouraging people to vote.
And there is no better place and time than tomorrow's mayoral runoff election for the people of Columbia to say, "This type of political manipulation is enough!"

GameCube classic Eternal Darkness almost certainly has a sequel on the way, according to Denis Dyack, director of developer Silicon Knights.
Dyack has revealed in his blog that the three-game approach the team took to the forthcoming Xbox 360 game Too Human was always a possibility for Eternal Darkness. Every time the team designs a game, he says, it is intended to tell a story within a larger universe and that other stories are still there to be told.
This means that Too Human's - and now perhaps Eternal Darkness ' - story will arc over three self-contained chapters. "We want each game to be a complete experience on its own, the major plot lines will be resolved at the end of each game," said Dyack.

The Prophet married his first wife, Khadijah, when he was in his mid-twenties. She gave him six children over a period of 10 years. All six children were born before he received his first revelations, to become Godâs Prophet and messenger. He then lived with his first wife for 15 more years before she died. She gave him no more children. After she died, he married nine other wives, three of whom had children by earlier marriages, but none of them gave him any child, although all of them except Sawdah were of childbearing age. Then he had an Egyptian slave girl sent to him as a gift by the ruler of Egypt. She gave him his last child, a son whom he named Ibraheem, after his great ancestor, Prophet Abraham.
Why was Muhammad (peace be upon him) denied having sons who would grow up and give him support? We remember that his grandfather, Abd Al-Muttalib, prayed to God to grant him 10 sons to grow up and give him protection. He did so at the time when he was commanded to dig up the well of Zamzam. When he did so, helped by his only son at the time, his people wanted to take the well from him. He wished to have his own sons to protect him. Had the Prophet had sons who were young men at the time when he faced determined opposition by the unbelievers, they could have given him the support that seemed at times to be lacking. A case in mind is that when those unbelievers emptied a camelâs stomach over his head as he was prostrating himself in prayer. In fact, the unbelievers took comfort from the fact that he was without sons, saying that once he died, he would soon be forgotten.
It was Godâs will that he would have no direct line of offspring, because people would have attached a privileged position to his descendants. God has willed that Islam would not be linked to anyone or any group other than His messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet stressed to all his relatives that their positions did not give them any privilege and that they were in exactly the same position as everyone else. Therefore, they needed to ensure their own salvation through hard work. Yet people, even today, think that those who are given the title âSyedâ, indicating that they have some relation to the Prophet through their ancestry, have a special status. How mistaken!
More than 20 years elapsed between the birth of Fatimah, the Prophetâs youngest daughter, and Ibraheem, his last son. Yet he had several wives, some of whom were in their twenties, i.e. in the prime period of reproduction, while others were mothers of children born in earlier marriages. There was nothing wrong with the Prophet or his wives to prevent the birth of children, as it was proven when he had his last son, Ibraheem. May be God wanted him to concentrate all his attention on the progress of his mission.
Yet he was always looking after his grandchildren, of whom he had a few. He also cared for the young children of his companions, particularly those who were close to him. When Jaafar, his cousin, died in battle, he went to enquire after his young children and to ensure that they lacked nothing.
Then he had Ibraheem, a son born when the father was about 60. With him a great hope was born, but only 18 months later, all the hope was extinguished as this young life was brought to an end. In all this, Muhammad (peace be upon him) provided a model of resigned acceptance of Godâs will. He taught us that when parents suffer the loss of a young child, that child will be waiting for them on the Day of Judgment, to take them by the hand into heaven. ¬

The Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association Presents
A weekly farmer's market focusing on local organic farm fresh produce
Every Wednesday Rain or Shine
4pm-7pm October through April
5pm-8pm May through September
Parking lot B 600 s Vulcan Ave, Corner of E and Vulcan
Encinitas will be getting a new farmer's market. The downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association has been working for over a year on the new Encinitas Station Certified Farmer's Market Project. The market is intended to fill the need for a mid week farmers market in Encinitas. DEMA has a long history coordinating farmer's market but unfortunately the proper location has not been available until now.
Carris Rhodes, Program Assistant at DEMA was the lead on the project and is thrilled to introduce a night time farmer's market to downtown Encinitas. DEMA has been the main coordinator of this farmers market and aims to bolster foot-traffic in the downtown Encinitas district while giving residents more access to fresh, organic local produce.
This market will be taking a different angle than most in the county and will have no prepared foods vendors or arts and crafts vendors. The market will focus on spceailty food items such as cheeses meats, honey breads and local gourmet organic produce. The market has a strong partnership with Whole Foods Market and the North County Transit District. May through September, the farmers market will run from 5 to 8 p.m.—and October through April, it will run from 4 to 7 p.m.
This will be Encinitas' second farmers market. This market was coordinated to be a compliment to the Sunday Farmer's Market coordinated by DEMA's sister organization, The Leucadia 101 MainStreet. The Leucadia Market is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday at Paul Ecke Elementary on Union Street.

I have a little brick-sided bungalow. It's been painted white for quite some time. The paint is flaking off, in some places in rather large chunks, revealing a more yellowed white paint beneath. I would imagine that, although I could scrape or blast off most of the loose flakes, it would just continue to flake. Someone who has done quite a bit of painting said that, if done properly (removing old paint, priming, painting etc), it would probably be just as cost effective to get vinyl siding on the house (windows and soffits are fine) A neighbour in a similar situation just routinely scrapes off the loose stuff and repaints with exterior latex. This then (I'm guessing) would have to be done every few years. Cost-wise, is it true that even if I do the work myself, I'd end up paying a huge sum just in paint materials? (Considering that siding is done only once) Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
A can of good exterior paint costs roughly $50 and covers about 400 square feet. You can do the math and call a local vinyl siding dealer for a comparison. But in my opinion, you would be reducing the value of your house by covering the brick with vinyl siding. I would rather look at flaking paint than vinyl siding. |
- Posted by badgergrrl (My Page) on Wed, May 4, 11 at 19:06
Yeah, the person who suggested you get put vinyl siding on your house? Don't ever talk to them again - about anything. Any cost savings you gain in the materials of the project you run the risk of losing in equity. There is nothing good about the words bungalow and vinyl together in the same sentence. Nothing. |

Our spy shooters recently caught this early prototype of the next Mercedes-Benz GLK, and it appears that the boxy little crossover, well, isn't. The very familiar two-box, upright design of the current model (that we all rather like, by the way) looks to be going away in favor of something that's a bit more streamlined and fluid.
That's probably just as well, since the new GLK is expected to grow in size in order to better separate it from the recently unveiled GLA-Class. And with a more curvaceous body, the larger dimensions of the next GLK will likely be better masked.
The next GLK will share its platform with the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and thus, powertrains will likely be shared between the two. That means gasoline, diesel, and possibly hybrid power will find its way to the GLK, a vehicle that is currently only available with a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 or a brand new 2.1-liter turbodiesel inline-four.
Mercedes will show the next C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January, with sales starting in August of next year. Look for the GLK to show its face sometime after that.

AMOCA provides a high-quality enrichment experience in the visual arts for children and teens. Sessions are taught by professional artists who design fun, challenging and educational projects. Students will be encouraged to explore their own ideas while discovering the possibilities of clay.
During camp, young artists examine ceramics by learning a new technique or begin a new project each day, dabbling in pinch pots, coils, and slabs. Participants have the option of registering for a half-day session or a full day session. The schedule of classes is designed around age groups and interests.

Marina Santana was born in Los Angeles, California. She completed a B.A. in Art Education and Sculpture with magna cum laude at California State University, San Bernardino. Marina's projects explore themes regarding the body internally and externally. Her work has typically taken the form of ceramics, metal and multi-media pieces. More recently however, she has developed an interest in the human body and personal experiences that others can relate to. Marina has previously worked collaboratively in the community with senior citizens to probation students. Each experience has had a huge input into her development as an artist. She is looking forward to starting Graduate School for her MFA in Sculpture.
Ms. Holt

Restaurants and other food options
Gianna's will excite the vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore alike. Famous for their Philly cheesesteaks. Also excellent sides and desserts. Not to be missed.
This little grocery store has excellent samosas. A worthwhile trip to University City.
This is a totally vegan restaurant and satisfies all your cravings for food you probably never thought you could again. From Shark Fin Soup to Won Ton to Sweet and Sour Chicken, KOV is phenomenal. I highly recommend the dim sum.
An excellent place just across the street from the conference center. You can buy groceries or a meal. It has Amish foods and various other kinds of food. Some of my favorite vendors are: Famous 4th Street Cookie Company, Nanee's Kitchen (Indian), Iovine's produce.
It has free wireless, but it is ALWAYS crowded!
Middle Eastern and American food (meaning, you can get both falafel and fries). Seriously the best falafel and baba ganoush this user has ever experienced.
Vietnam Restaurant 221 N. 11th St (near the convention center)
Kinda fancy, but not too expensive. Has several tofu options.
910 Christian Street (9th and Christian) Sabrina's is really crowded if you go for brunch, but not so bad for dinner. It's near the Italian Market, which is also worth checking out. For vegetarians, who might otherwise miss out on Philly cheesesteaks, Sabrina's has a great seitan version! The menu is kind of like classic American food with a twist. BYOB
Farmacia 15 S. 3rd St (3rd and Market) - about 7 blocks from the Convention Center
A little expensive, entrees cost $13-25. Several vegetarian options. It's the kind of place where even if you order something ordinary, the food is extra good.
3420 Sansom Street (34th and Sansom, near UPenn)
A little expensive, $16-25 entrees. There are usually only a few vegetarian options. Ingredients are mostly local, organic and seasonal. The owner is committed to social justice, and they host many community events. Very good!
221 Church Street (2nd and Church, a small street just north of Market)
In addition to being a terrific Ethiopian restaurant, Dahlak is a great bar. When I lived in Philly (2001), they also had a dynamite jukebox. In west Philly.
