An unpopular proposal to use the site of a former Bayside temple for a public school will go before Community Board 11 on Monday.
The plan calls for tearing down the Jewish Center of Bayside Hills at 211-06 48th Avenue and building an early childhood center geared for kindergarten through the third grade. It would provide 440 seats.
But local residents say the property is too small and the streets there already too crowded for such an addition to the community. "We're not against education," said Bayside Hills Civic Association President Michael Feiner. "We just don't think this is the right place for a school."
He said membership at the Jewish center had been dwindling over the years and members decided to merge with another congregation. The facility is still being cleaned out, but worship services have not been held there in recent months.
"I'm against the plan for the school. The space is too cramped and it's our job to look after the community," Feiner added.
At a heated discussion last week at CB 11's Education Committee meeting, Lorraine Grillo, senior director of real estate services for the School Construction Authority, defended the city's choice. She attended to hear opinions, but added that additional seats are needed.
The committee unanimously rejected the proposal. Its recommendation will now go to the full council, which meets on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at MS 158, 46-35 Oceania Street in Bayside.
It has been estimated that District 26, which includes Bayside, is projected to need up to 2,000 seats in the next 10 years. But CB 11 Chairman Jerry Iannece says that argument isn't good enough.
"This is a terrible location," he said. "The property is the size of four houses or a quarter the size of a normal school. They want to build a four-story facility and there is no room for a planned playground."
He noted that 48th Avenue is narrow and has little parking. "They want to put in 50 staff members. Where are they going to park? It takes away from parking for residents."
Many residents believe a better idea would be to build on to nearby PS 31, which has a large schoolyard and a playground. Christine Jones, who lives directly behind the defunct Jewish center, said the street is very busy and already congested. "I want the Department of Education to add on to PS 31 on 46th Avenue. They have plenty of room to expand," she said.
Jones is also preparing a petition opposing the project but fears that it is already a done deal by the city. "I got the impression that Grillo was just going through the motions at the meetings," she said. "I'm for schools; my daughter goes to PS 31, but I am against this new school."
The city has already promised the Jones family special windows to block out noise from the planned school playground. "This will bring property values down," she said.
Jones would also find it more tolerable if the Department of Education reduced the size of the proposed school by half the students and expanded PS 31, which she says is already getting overcrowded with an enrollment of 600 students.
Alex Hagin, a resident of 212th Street for 30 years, opposes the new school because of safety issues. "The inevitable double-parked school buses on and near the very busy 48th Avenue will present a very real safety issue. This condition will be dangerous for the schoolchildren and the residents of our neighborhood."
Iannece noted that there are six schools scattered throughout the area and that this plan offers no relief for homeowners. "The city also did a traffic study on Election Day, which is not representative of the true picture," he said, noting that the results showed no traffic problem there.
He also favors the city adding on to PS 31. "They would already have existing services at the school," he said. "The proposed site is not big enough. We are being short-changed."
Even if CB 11 rejects the proposal, the vote is only advisory and Grillo admitted that the sale of the property was expected although it must get final approval from the City Council.
Iannece was not optimistic that the plan would be stopped. "It seems to be political," he said. "The city is not considering anything else. It will be up to the City Council to make the final decision."

With more architects and superintendents endeavoring to infuse a linksy feel into their courses, the ground game is back in vogue, which means you're likely to be faced with more long-distance bump-and-runs. The natural thought as you try these shots is to keep things simple, to use your basic chipping technique and just add some force to it. But that's not going to get the job done.
Anyone who has tried to bounce and run a shot from forty to eighty yards out using the same arms-and-hands technique that works on greenside chips will understand the problem: You won't be able to control the direction of the shot. That's especially true when nerves are involved. More often than not, the tension will cause you to pull the ball. If you're staring down a run-up shot of any significant distance, what you've got to do is bring the torso into the swing.
When you're practicing these punch shots, keep the following ideas in mind:
- Swing with an "all chest" feeling. Many a British golfer has been taught to think "stomach and buttons" as he works on this shot on the range. Turn your chest away and then through to the finish. If at that point your shirt buttons are facing the target, the clubface will have taken care of itself and your ball will be moving right along the line you picked out.
- To fine-tune that feeling, pay attention to your knees. Turning your chest through the swing as indicated will make your right knee kiss your left knee at the end of the swing.
- Take aim at a very definite target. If you have trouble getting the feel of how to aim, a great trick is to set up without a golf ball, then work directly through your forward swing and up to the finish, holding that position. Don't take a back swing—just move from address to finish, and stay there.

Have a bunch of these growing wild all over the front acre mixed about with the Pines, Yaupon Hollies, some other very similar shrubs which I believe to be Huckleberries. I believe them to be some form of blueberry, although they are, obviously, not pruned/fertilized/or mulched (aside from leaf litter) and I cannot recall fruiting of any consequence. I must say though, I haven't really monitored them all that well. I took a few photos and placed them in an album here: thanks in advance. |
Here is a link that might be useful: photo album
Follow-Up Postings:
Yup, blueberry. They tend to fruit less in shade, and the birds may be getting any berries that form just before they ripen. |

any suggestion as to breed? i've compared photos to quite a few others online and it seems there's always 1 thing that doesn't match. |
- Posted by maximusdecimus (My Page) on Mon, Mar 18, 13 at 0:27
also, I'd like to move some of them to a better location, we're kinda moving into spring now (though i'd call it summer here in MS) since some are budding/flowering already, I'd rather not move them now, round about which month would be best for them to be moved? Right after fruit drops? Or wait til fall/"Winter" Reason I ask is these don't drop their leaves and we've had retard long growing seasons the last few years. Lasting into november sometimes. |

there is a very active fruit forum.. where you might find more peeps with knowledge ... with berries.. you usually need a pic of the berry to get close on ID ... but my inclination.. is that wild sown berries are usually not prime plants .. and you are much further ahead.. buying specific named varieties ... usually via mail order .... the odds of you finding prime plants.. bird sown.. is low to nil.. in my experience ... but then.. you wont know how good they are.. until you move them.. and find out in a few years .... the only problem being.. if you buy some good ones.. in a few years.. they will also bloom.. so i suggest.. if you are a blueberry fiend.. to do both ... ken |
Your blueberry shrubs would benefit from pruning out most of the older brown stems in the center of the shrub, leaving the younger, greener stems to flourish. This pruning can be done in the spring. While is it possible to dig up and move an established shrub or tree, it's a whole lot easier to go out and buy a new, potted shrub, with an ID tag, so you know the variety, and plant it in the new location. Blueberries like full sun. |

In September, First Baptist Church members will move their services out of their Bickford Avenue sanctuary, after almost 90 years of worship at the site.
FBC Pastor Charlie Blount and El Reno Public Schools Superintendent Craig McVay met Monday to discuss the sale of the church's property to the district, as part of the $45.3 million bond issue passed Jan. 8 by voters. As part of that plan, the church's sanctuary will be torn down to make way for new buildings that will become part of the district's downtown complex. A science and math wing is slated for the site, as well as providing extra space for the district's expected growth, officials said.
School board president Steven Jensen said earlier this month the choice to tear down the church was necessary because the 1920's era building has several issues, including possible asbestos, narrow hallways and no way to practically make the structure compliant for disabled students and others. Blount agreed.
"That was one of the reasons why we looked elsewhere for a location – it just wasn't feasible to do the work at this site," he said.
El Reno schools purchased the FBC site for $415,000, following the church's own investment in a site adjacent to the city's Public Safety Center on S.W. 27th Street. FBC will move its services to El Reno High School's auditorium beginning Sept. 15, with the district expected to take formal possession of the FBC property Oct. 1, Blount and McVay said.
It is unclear how long the church will remain in temporary housing, Blount said. Plans are under way for its new sanctuary and complex, but there is no timeline at this point, he said.
Even with that uncertainty, church members are "completely behind" the sale of the property to the school district, Blount said. The ease in working with school officials and others made the transition that much easier, he said.
"It's really gratifying that the property where our sanctuary once sat could be utilized for our children and community," Blount said.
The sale was an illustration of a partnership that has extended throughout El Reno, McVay said, something that was, in itself, exemplified by the margin in which the bond issue was passed.
"I still call it historic, it's amazing to me that the community came together and passed this by 73 percent of the vote," he said. "That shows a lot about El Reno, I think."
Work on other aspects of the bond issue has already begun, McVay said. Meetings have been held concerning the purchase of buses and work to be done at school sites across the district, with El Reno's maintenance director Jeff Johnson a key player, the superintendent said.
"The logistics from our side has been great – he (Jeff) already had a plan in place," McVay said.
When construction on the bond issue is complete, a third- and fourth-grade center will stand adjacent to Roblyer Middle School, while Rose Witcher and Hillcrest elementary schools will have secure entrances and more classrooms. Roblyer – which will be converted into a fifth- and sixth-grade center – Etta Dale Junior High School and EHS will also have more classrooms, and air conditioning will also be added to the combination cafeteria/gyms at Rose Witcher and Hillcrest.a'>Funding for the renovations – which will be completed in-house by Dan Jackson and inmate labor – is expected to run between $50,000 and $75,000, Edwards said. While county general funds were used to purchase the building, sheriff's fees generated through tickets, seizures and other items will pay for the renovation, he said.

CSULB's 37-member Chamber Choir performs in Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, April 24, under the baton of Music's director of choral, vocal and opera studies, Jonathan Talberg.
Also on stage will be Long Beach's Camerata Singers, the Nordhoff High School Chamber Choir and four community choruses from the New York-New Jersey area.
"Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the cost per student will be only $400 for five nights in New York City," said Talberg.
"Not only will the Chamber Choir perform at Carnegie Hall, but they will participate in New York's Riverside Church," he added. "This is a fitting successor to previous venues in which the choir has performed, including the Gehry-designed Disney Concert Hall, the Orange County Performing Arts Center and Descanso Gardens. We get out as much as any other CSULB group, including sports. I think we work very hard to maintain our image as the top music school in the California State University system. CSULB is the institution to send top students."
The road to Carnegie Hall, a first for any CSULB musical group, comes as part of a regular series.
"Every April, Carnegie Hall sends out invitations to choirs from across the country to take part in performances," he said. "Many groups are invited to perform each night of April under one conductor, and, this year, I have been invited to be one of those conductors."
The Carnegie visit is a tribute to the commitment of CSULB music majors, Talberg believes.
"The average music major spends an average of 22 hours a week in classes. Choir is five hours a week for one unit. Opera is seven hours a week for one unit. The average CSULB singer performs between 12 and 15 hours a week," he said. "What we're trying to do with performances like this one at the Carnegie is to replicate the life of a professional musician as much as possible. There is constant preparation of new works as well as performances, tours and recording sessions."

The RS-232 bus standard is one of the most widely used physical layer bus designs in industrial and instrumentation diagnostic port applications. To improve system reliability within a noisy environment and protect against voltage spikes and ground loops, isolation is often required between the RS-232 cable network and the systems connected to it. The ADM3251E transceiver incorporates ADI's iCoupler and isoPower® isolation technologies and is the first surface-mount RS-232 transceiver to feature full isolation of both the data and power lines. With a 2.5 kV isolation rating, the new RS-232 transceiver complies with industry-standard isolation regulations (UL1577 and DIN VDE 0884-10), ensuring it will meet the robustness levels required in noisy operating environments such as isolated RS-232 diagnostic data ports in industrial automation and control applications. The SMT package reduces board space by 45% compared with traditional ICs and helps to accelerate the manufacturing process and lower system development costs.
World's First Signal and Power Isolated RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver in an SMT Package
The ADM2587E/ADM2582E transceivers are the first surface-mount RS-485/RS-422 transceivers to feature full isolation of both the data and power lines and incorporate ADI's well-known iCoupler and isoPower® isolation technologies. With a 2.5 kV isolation rating, the new RS-485/RS-422 transceivers comply with industry-standard isolation regulations, including UL1577 and DIN VDE 0884-10, ensuring they will meet the robust levels required in applications such as programmable logic controllers, distributed control systems, motor control, building control systems, industrial fieldbuses (Modbus, BACNet Interbus, etc.), and telecom equipment.
Analog Devices' new ADM2587E (RS-485) and ADM2582E (RS-422) transceivers are the first surface-mount (SMT) transceivers to feature a line driver, line receiver, oscillator, rectifier, regulator, and transformers on a single chip that isolates both the data and power lines. The transceiver's SMT package improves manufacturability by allowing system OEMs to mount the device using fully automated production tools, reducing manufacturing steps and improving mechanical performance. In addition, the small footprint frees up circuit board space for other system functions. This highly integrated device provides a robust communications interface with isolated power for use in harsh industrial and instrumentation environments.

Publication Frequency: Twice a year Publisher: Urmia University Press
Periodical Type: Academic, scholarly Review Policy: Double blind review
Access: Open Access; Free of charge Publication/Processing Fee: None
Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research (IJLTR) was launched with the intention to make quality research output available for scholars in the field of language education. IJLTR is an open access academic, scholarly peer-reviewed journal and follows a double blind review policy. The Journal is scheduled for publication semiannually, in January and July, with the first issue to appear in January 2013. The journal team (and in particular the advisory board) is made of internationally renowned scholars in the field of Applied Linguistics and L2 education. As such, both our contributors and readers come from across the world.
Aims and Scope:
The main focus of the Journal is on research done on language learning and teaching. We are in particular interested in research papers on L2 education (in particular EFL/ESL), in public and private contexts, in natural and classroom settings as well as in a variety of levels including school level, university level, institute level, etc. The Journal welcomes papers on teaching and learning any component of language, including skills and sub-skills, as well as teaching/learning translation, literature, etc. Research on the use of new technologies such as CALL and MALL for teaching/learning languages is also considered appropriate for this Journal. Although the focus is primarily on research on language education, we will also consider papers in other areas of applied linguistics such as language testing as far as they have clear implications for language teaching/learning. Reviews of literature are not acceptable for this Journal; however, status papers by experts in the field are called for as long as explicit implications are drawn in favour of language teaching and learning. Reviews of recently published books on language education are also accepted for publication. Contributors are advised to consult the Journal office before doing/sending a book review.
Call for papers:
The Journal calls for unpublished original manuscripts to be considered for publication. The papers submitted to the Journal should not have already been published elsewhere except circulated as conference presentations, nor should they be submitted simultaneously to another journal. For author instructions and how to submit, select submission guidelines from the left menu or click here.

@TreeMan - Great point. Not to mention a lot of parks now don't let you bring in your own firewood because of things like the emerald ash borer and other pests.
I know someone who used to own a sawmill where they kiln dried logs before sawing them. Whenever they had scrap wood left over or logs that weren't good enough to cut up for lumber, they split them up and bundled them as firewood to sell.
If you are buying kiln dried firewood from someone, though, it pays to know your wood types. Wood like oak and maple burn hot and for a long time, and birch firewood is fast lighting. Some people will cut up stuff like sycamore and throw it into bundles even though it is a horrible wood for burning. People just don't know better than to not buy it.

World T20 cricket: Darren Sammy wants West Indies legacy
Captain Darren Sammy hopes winning the World Twenty20 title will inspire West Indies to "start something special".
A 56-ball 78 from Marlon Samuels helped West Indies recover from a poor start and set up a 36-run win over Sri Lanka.
Marlon Samuels"It was an all-round team effort. We want to be on top, even in Test cricket, as Test cricket is the best"
"This is the start of something special for the West Indies team and the fans back home," said Sammy.
"We won't say 'we're back'. Hopefully it's a step in the right direction and we've made the people proud. I'll always cherish this moment."
West Indies, the dominant team in international cricket from the late 1970s through to the 1990s, celebrated wildly in Colombo as they won their first major competition since the 2004 Champions Trophy.
"Throughout the last two years we've shown a never-say-die attitude," added Sammy, who made an unbeaten 26 from 15 deliveries in a total of 137-6 which looked unlikely when they were 32-2 after 10 overs.
"I've got to thank the Almighty, and thank everyone who's ever supported West Indies - this is for the fans.
"The team has been through a lot for the last decade. We left home with 'one team, one people, one goal', and the belief we left the Caribbean with took us through.
"I know it'll be a party from Jamaica down to Guyana. Thankfully it's Sunday as if it were a weekday nobody would be at work."
Sri Lanka seemed in control as they restricted West Indies' batsmen, with Chris Gayle taking 16 balls to reach three.
Completing the set
West Indies are the only team to win the World Cup, World Twenty20 and Champions Trophy outright. India also have their name on all three titles, but shared the 2002 Champions Trophy with Sri Lanka.
But an inspired Samuels hit six sixes and three fours to shift the balance of power, before Sri Lanka were bowled out for 101 in the 19th over.
Man of the match Samuels, who was suspended from the game for two years for passing on team information to a bookmaker in 2007, described the victory as a moment which would "live forever".
"Two years and I'm back. I can't explain how much this means to me," said Samuels, who also took 1-15 from his four overs.
He added: "My career has had its ups and downs - a lot of tough times but I'm not someone that will ever give up.
"The person that I am deep down inside is the reason I'm still here playing cricket.
"I have a family that believe in me. So if outsiders don't, that doesn't really matter to me.
"Being under pressure on a cricket field is nothing compared to what I've been through off the field."

So these players "have to live". Don't we all? Perhaps they COULD GET A JOB!!!!!!!
T20 is a quick-fix, nothing else. If you haven't got the concentration span to watch test cricket, become gnat. -

10th October 2012 - 20:20Please do some basic research before denying statements. Patrick Ewing was a promising cricketer in Jamaica, close friends with Courtney. He got drafted into the US college basketball syste. Google it. The point I was making was that you don't see very tall frightening fast bowlers bec they are playing basketball. Look at recent fast bowlers, short and skiddy. The talent has moved elsewhere

10th October 2012 - 19:18Cricket enthusiasts would love to watch the Windies in full flow all over again. Old timers still recall the joy of watching the likes of Sobers, Rohan, Kalli, Clive, Viv, Gordon, Haynes, Larry, Logie, Murray, Jeff, Richie, Hooper, Jimmy, Lara and bowlers Gibbs, Roberts, Holding, Joel, Malcolm, Walsh, Curtly, Bishop, Patterson, Baptiste and Co. Good luck to Team West Indies.

Comment number 52.
10th October 2012 - 12:31@45...Windies are seventh in the Test rankings above NZ, who are way ahead of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, so let's not twist the truth to suit an argument. Windies are now 2nd in the T20 rankings, and to a lot of new fans around the world that's more important. More fallacies - basketball is not taking Caribbean talent. Ewing grew up in the US. Caribbean talent is going into sprinting, like Bolt.

Singer Adele isn't afraid to show off her curves. The "Rolling In The Deep" singer graces the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
During her interview with the magazine, Adele reveals who her favorite singers are. "My favorite singers are Etta James and Aretha Franklin. If you were to look up the word singer in the dictionary you'd see their names. Not mine," she explained.
Adele is scheduled to undergo throat surgery in the coming weeks.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Intro Now that you have obtained your own Seaman egg, use the faithful recreation of Dr. Gasse's laboratory to follow in his footsteps, uncovering the secrets of the Seaman. When the Seaman egg hatches, the adventure begins...Seaman watches you from inside the TV. He reacts to your voice and understands all that you say. Seaman loves a good conversation. His wisecracks and salty wisdom will make you laugh. Share your life with the captive Seaman and take good care of him. If you neglect him, you'll get an earful of attitude. Encourage his growth and evolution, and solve the puzzles hidden in the vivarium to release Seaman to dry land, and to his ultimate destiny... GameplaySeaman is played using the Dreamcast's microphone peripheral, which plugs in the top expansion port of the Dreamcast controller. Most of the gameplay consists of Seaman asking the player a series of questions, to which the player responds with mostly one-word answers. Topics range from the player's personal life to science and politics. The game is not meant to be played for long periods of time, as Seaman with often become "bored" or "tired" from speaking with the player. In these instances Seaman will typically tell the player to "go away."Aside from talking, Seaman requires a few other activities of the player. Seaman's tank must be properly heated and oxygenated to keep Seaman alive and happy. There is also another tank in which the player must raise and care for larvae which grow around a plant. This tank must be kept moist so that the plant can grow and provide fresh leaves for the larva to eat. The larva eventually grow into moths. The moths then lay eggs which in turn hatch into new larvae. These larvae are Seaman's primary food source. Technology and Popular ReactionAt the time of its release there was much hype surrounding Seaman's voice-recognition technology. Already a commercial hit in Japan, many in the West expected to have conversations with the Seaman artificial intelligence. In reality Seaman could only understand simple predetermined words and phrases. While some players enjoyed the experience, others felt the gameplay was too limited and the voice-recognition was too clunky.

Toyota Sienna Maintenance and Repair (2003 earlier)
bigfrog Posts: 27Hi i don't want to sound like i am putting you down but toyota uses sealed nonservicable wheel bearings. Thay do not get repacked or lubed. (except on T100 land cruiser older rear tercel)I is more likley that the customer hit something just right or the cv joint was not tight or the tech missed the bearing problem and replaced the rotors the frist. But found it the seconded time around. Pretty hard to damage the bearing when removeing the rotor. We are only human to so i guess anything is possiable. I personly have not seen any bearing problem's on toyota except for corolla. But i do know toyota rotors warp easy?
wicnut Posts: 4Hi! Thanks to all that had responded on my sienna problems.
To jasdmw, at 39,000 miles that was my second set of rotors. What could cause the second set of rotors to go and have it replaced again? It's a new car, delivered to me with 10 miles on it. The reason why I brought the car in again was that each time I drove the car at different speeds on or off highway, I would get this rubbing sound. I'm not sure how to explain it. And that rubbing sound would get worst with speed. It's gotten to the point where I would feel vibration through out the front car. From my steering wheel to the floor. This problem was there after replacing the first set of rotors. When I brought it in, thats when I found out that I need new rotors. The same one that was replaced at 32,000 miles. I was so mad, I didn't know what else to do but to have it changed. When I got my car back after replacing the rotors (2nd). The problem that I had brought it in after the first set of rotors was still there. I called the dealership and complained that the problem was still there. So I had to go back in the following week and took it for a test drive with one of the service manager there. It took him less than 5 minutes to diagnose the problem. Whats up with that? I'm wondering to my self what else could go wrong? The reason why I brought a new car is to avoid all this hassle. I found myself visiting the dealership where I got the car more often than I visit my in-laws.
I contacted National Toyota about my unsatisfaction of the new car after I had found out I need another set of rotors at 39,000 miles and how I was treated at the dealership.
I was told that they would contact customer relation dept. and would hear from them in 3-4 days. Weeks went by, nothing. Called national again, weeks went by, again nothing. I just want some answers to why I'm having so much problem with the new car. It's gotten to the point it's at the regional office. Their response to me was " every body have different driving habits." To my understanding that they are blaming my driving habits. I personally don't buy it. If its my driving habits, I would be going through rotors like crazy, right? I asked them to expand on it their conclusion, "everybody have different driving habits ."
I'm not sure what to make of it. What do you or anybody think? Any personal experience with arbitration out there? Maybe I'll get an answer by going through arbitrator. Any suggestion? Does this dealership have incompentent mechanics working on my car. I feel like dealership is passing the buck, and no one whats to deal with me.
Thanks wicnut -
bigfrog Posts: 27you might want to keep in close contact with you service department tone things down a bit become more friendly try to get your reagional reps number speak to the tech working on the car and requset he works on it all the time. but at the same time get real nit pickey but nice nit pickey not pain in the [non-permissible content removed] nit pickey. keep all your records and write personal notes to keep for your self also try to keep a written track of your driveing habbits. it is a real pain to do this all the time and might be expensive to keep bringing it in but if you want to win your case with toyota you will need to do this i wish you the best of luck. oh buy the way we just had a ladey get a buy back at 32000 because she didn't like her tires so don't give up if you realy feel you have a serious problem
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,45632,000 miles on a set of rotors these days isn't bad at all. 7,000 miles isn't good.
I wonder if they over-torqued the wheels when they reinstalled them after replacing the first set of rotors. That can warp them.
Doesn't explain the bearings though (or maybe it could?).
Have you put this in writing? Maybe a written complaint to regional and cc the dealer and your local Consumer Protection agency would get you some relief since they seem to be ignoring your phone calls.

deepan Posts: 342Thanks for the info. When i chked the controls again over the weekend it worked fine!!! Do i attribute this behaviour because of the frigid weather we had last week. Infact the van was parked in a indoor heated garage for a day during the cold spell and it still didnt work until Saturday!!!
sj1bj1 Posts: 20I just had my 2000 Sienna XLE in for its 60,000 mile service at our Toyota dealer. Again I complained about the squeal I've had for a couple of years, and again, hundreds of dollars later my brakes still squeal. I asked about new drums, but they just keep saying, all we can do is lube them. Somebody please tell me how to convince Toyota that there is a problem!!
hottmusic Posts: 11There is a fix. Toyota has newly designed rear brake drums that so far have worked for me. Contact the service manager, let him/her know that you are aware that the new brake drums are out. On my invoice it appears that the part number is 472151. I also have the 2000 XLE with 53,000 miles, and I have been complaining to the dealer for 1 1/2 years now. I also sent an email to Toyota about the problem. Mine was fixed on November 3, no charge, and so far so good. If you're dealer seems to be unwilling to help you, ask to speak with the regional rep for Toyota.
Good luck. -

sj1bj1 Posts: 20I'd like to try the magnets to stop my squealing brakes. Eric, can you or someone email me the type and where you got the magnets, and pictures or description of how to install them. Thanks a lot and I hope Toyota comes up with a fix other than cleaning the dust. My email is: firstname.lastname@example.com
5star Posts: 1Radio does work but the radio light sometimes doesn't come on, although the radio is on. Other times it just blinks on and off. Then other times it stays on like it is supposed to be. Anyone have any feedback? I did take out the radio and checked for loose wire connections, but it did not help.
bicalino Posts: 13I have an '02 sienna , in may of '02 .now w/ 10,300 miles . prior to purchasing , I was well aware of the rear brake squeal. I noticed it as early as 1500 miles, though it wasn't that bad . 1st. oil change 3,000 miles mentioned it, but it was not documented. 2nd. oil change 6500 miles, mentioned it and was told , "they all do that " which , I knew , but didn't tell them. third oil change 10,000 miles, I complained again, and it was documented. they told me they checked and everything was fine . afterwards ,I came on this site , saw the recent posts regarding the toyota fix, re: replacing the drums w/ new type drums. I called the dealer , told him that I knew of others who had this repair done on their sienna. I didn't mention this site though . he said he'd check the vin and see if it applied to my vehicle. he called me back, said it did , and when the parts came in would schedule a repair under warranty. I just picked it up today , he said they replaced the drums and brakes , but he wasn't sure what else if anything else was done . so far , 8 miles , no squeak, lol. I would like to thank those that participante on this site , for their valuable information.
jasdmw Posts: 118As noted earlier, I had my drums replaced about 2 weeks ago. I now notice a significant rumble when braking from speeds over 50 KM/Hr (30 MPH). Will need to have dealer look into this. Anyone else with the new drums hear this rumble as well? Note that the rear brakes seem to bite much more than before.
sj1bj1 Posts: 20When you called your dealer, did they have something from Toyota telling them to change the drums, or were you just persistent enough to have them do it for free? Do you have the part number for the new drums? What area of the country, or what dealer is doing this change. I still am getting nowhere with my dealer. Thanks.
bicalino Posts: 13actually , I'm not persistent at all. I knew b4 I purchased the van that they had a tendancy to squeal. didn't realize it was that loud.
I figured , toyota needed time to address it . when I got the recent info from this site ,(about a fix being available ) I became persistent.
I did told them the the van squeals like a pig. it's a new van, did it from 1500 miles, has only 10,000 now and it's unacceptable.
I'm in westchester ,n.y. I mentioned to the dealer service dept. that I had a part # . didn't tell him I got it from this site. he wasn't interested in it . said he'd check if there's an applicable fix using my vin #.
when he called me back , all he said was that they would order the parts , & schedule an appointment when they came in .
the service inv. says
472021 rear brake shoe R&R
2 42431-08012 drum brake
1 04495-08010 shoe kit,brake
2 47427-08010 plate, parking brake
I hope this helps . I havent driven it more than 50 miles . not long enough to see if the squeal is fixed. I haven't felt the brakes to be grabbier yet,but , I will pay attention to it, after reading one of the above posts. -

payson Posts: 32I have had the same problem for the last 3 months.I did a search on the web,and found a couple of others with the same situation. One woman took her van to the dealer,and was quoted $200+ to fix. When she picked it up,they told her it was no charge. She was out of warranty.My 2000 XLE has 48K miles.I live 60 miles from my dealer,and haven't had time to take it in. I don't think it is a safety issue,just a sensor.Please post what you find out,if you take yours in.
newcar4newfam Posts: 20I had dreaded the day that I would have to own a mini-van. However, I am now a born again mini-van owner. I bought a used '99 Sienna with only 35,000 miles on it and I have fell in love with it over the past 6 months. It is awesome! Especially with a new born and a 100 lbs. golden retreiver. Now I can't imagine not owning one for the rest of my life. Especially a Toyota. Its so awesome.
However, I have now run into a little problem that I would greatly appreciate some help with. My CD player won't let me put a CD in it. I'm pretty sure there isn't a CD in it. I have obviously hit the eject button and nothing comes out. However, my wife was driving it the day before I noticed the problem but she does not remember putting a CD in it either.
It seems that there is a single bar within the unit that prevents a CD from entering the player. I would guess that I need to hit a reset button our something, but I don't know how or where it would be. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to have to pay a mechanic for a seemingly simple problem.

By Robert Half International
Part of what makes looking for work so stressful is that it's hard to know what you're doing right. The feedback you receive consists mostly of silence, with an occasional "Thank you for your time."
The typical response is either to rip up your résumé and start from scratch or stay the course and chalk up your lack of results to bad luck and a tough job market. Neither of those approaches is likely to get you much closer to your next job. But a job hunt audit can.
Get a second opinion
What's involved in a job-hunt audit? Nothing more than verbalizing your experiences and asking a friend for feedback. This act can reveal patterns that you've been too closely engaged with to notice.
If possible, sit down with someone who's familiar with your industry and career. Then, review the following areas:
- Your network: For each of the last few opportunities you've pursued, describe how you found it. Was it a publicly available listing, or did you have a connection that might have given you an advantage? Have you been pursuing a range of networking avenues, online and off? What have you done lately to help members of your network with their own careers?
- Your résumé and cover letter: If you've landed a lot of interviews, your résumé and cover letter are doing their job. You probably do not need to invest much energy here. If, on the other hand, the phone has remained silent, review your recent application materials. To what extent have you customized your résumé to match each opportunity? When a cover letter can be included, have you taken the time to draft one that concisely explains how you can benefit the employer? Have your friend go through each document line by line and point out information that is weak, unclear or unnecessary.
- Your interview performance. Have you been called in for multiple interviews without receiving an offer? If so, you may be stumbling at this stage without realizing it. Describe your recent interviews, recapping the questions you were asked and the answers you gave. What's your friend's opinion of the impression you made? You may even find it helpful to have him act the part of the hiring manager and replay portions of certain interviews.
- Your choice of positions to target: If the opportunities you've been pursuing don't match up with your skills and experience, excellence in every other facet of your job search won't matter. Are the key responsibilities of the roles you've been seeking in, or at least near, your area of expertise? Ask your friend if you seem under- or overqualified for the positions you've sought.
As you conduct your audit, don't overlook more mundane elements. For instance, how consistent is your job search? Do you work on it for a day or two and then put it aside for a while? If so, you could be losing momentum. How much time do you spend searching for employment, and how focused are you? The sheer number of hours is less important than the quality and consistency of those hours.
You're as strong as your weakest link
Identifying problem areas is one thing; working to improve them is another. If you enjoy networking, for instance, it's natural to want to spend more time on that than on revising your résumé. But keep in mind that an hour spent working on a weakness is more likely to hasten the end of your search than several hours spent in your comfort zone.
Wrap up your job-hunt audit by developing an action plan for addressing your liabilities. Be specific in the steps you'll take and the time it will take you to improve. Ask your friend to check in with you about your progress.
Conducting a job-hunt audit isn't an exact science. In fact, you might not receive clear answers about what — if anything — you're doing wrong. Many of the elements that determine when you'll get your next offer are entirely out of your control. But taking a close look at what you've been doing can be the first step toward making your job search smarter — and shorter.

If approved, the changes would allow the governments to take excess funds from the north road project to cover additional costs on the south side road. Each road is being constructed to give interstate access to the industrial park.
"They would lessen our commitment on the north side and increase our commitment on the south side," Bradley County Engineer Sandra Knight said.
Representatives from the city of Cleveland met with the Bradley County finance committee Tuesday to discuss moving forward.
Finance committee chairman Ed Elkins voiced concerns about the plan.
"The bottom line is if we take money out of the north (road) and then there is some problem with that, we don't have something to fall back on," Elkins said.
Knight said half of the project is being funded by state funds and the other half by local funding. The local funding is equally split between the city and county.
The project was estimated to cost $4 million.
However, erosion control issues have caused the contractor to request nearly $434,000 to replace and fix elements to control water flow. Knight said it looks like the north interstate connector road will be under the budgeted amount. Elkins asked if there was a way to be certain the north road project would come in under budget. Knight said if the north project receives as much heavy rain as the south side there could be similar complications.
"The longer the project goes and the more the rain hits ... you have to replace erosion controls, you have to repair, so that starts eating up these line items for that stuff," Cleveland engineering director Jonathan Jobe said.
"This are a lot of change orders from the percentage of what the original project was bid for," Elkins said.
Jobe said the bid was based on the estimated amount of erosion control measures that would be needed.
"He already knew some of them would have to be replaced during construction (and planned for that.) This project originally was supposed to be done by Oct. 31 of last year," Jobe said.
He said the lengthy time of the project has caused some of the issues.
According to Jobe, the road was originally estimated to be completed in three months. The project has been in progress for 16 months, he said. The delays have been caused by a variety of reasons. Elkins and finance committee member J. Adam Lowe expressed concerns about how contractor error may have contributed to issues.
An additional $347,000 has been added to the south road project to change part of the road grade from 8 percent to 6 percent.
Jobe said the plan for the project had originally had the grade at 6 percent but it was changed to 8 percent to save money.
"When we bid out ... there was enough at the time, we didn't have all these erosion controls (then) ... we had enough money in the budget to bring that grade back down to 6 percent," Jobe said. "So we went ahead and changed the grade back to 6 percent."
Elkins said the condition seems "to be getting worse." Knight said fixing the issue has been delayed because the first plan to address the issue was not approved by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Jobe said TDEC is now considering the new plan.
"We are only probably a month or two from finishing the entire road," Jobe said.
The north interstate connector road project will not begin for two years.
Also during the meeting:
- Rich Kienlen of misdemeanor probation presented updated information on the proposed work release building for nonviolent inmates who are employed. He committee approved Kienlen giving a presentation to the full Commission. A motion asking Kienlen to meet with Bradley Sheriff Jim Ruth about the project was also passed. Current revenue projections for the work release program to be self-sufficient include 25 state inmates being held in the facility. Kienlen said this would not effect the Sheriff's Office budget.
- The committee approved amendments to the BCSO budget and the drug court budget.

- Subwoofer
The XPS510's 20 watt subwoofer features a solid wooden casing. This assures more undistorted, deep bass effects when compared to a plastic casing. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded and features a 5.25" paper cone driver with a frequency response of 35Hz - 180Hz. On the back of the subwoofer you will notice a rather large, black heatsink. This helps keep the unit cool after extended periods of use. Another thing to note is that the subwoofer is quite compact compared to some competing solutions, measuring 170mm(W) x 315mm(D) x 238mm(H). This makes it ideal for those of you that do not have much room around or under your desk.
Unlike some high-end speaker systems that feature a separate control box full of knobs and switches, the XPS510's controls are on the subwoofer itself. There is a power switch, a volume knob and a bass knob. One complaint I have about the controls being mounted on the subwoofer itself is that because I usually place the subwoofer on the floor, it is quite inconvenient having to reach under my desk to adjust the volume, bass, etc.

O'Brien & Schridde Frames
Yesterday on decor8 I highlighted "Coastal Chic" style that is a little shabby, a little country, and very coastal — think California and Sydney cottages washed with light, linens, lots of white and beautiful blue tones. You can see two cottages that I spotlighted here to get a sense of what I'm referring to. Below is a glimpse, this is from Maria's home in California — she authors the Dreamy Whites blog and imagine this — she has a husband and 5 children who occupy this very white, very clean space!
After writing about this style, Louise and Daniel Schridde wrote to me to share O'Brien & Schridde Designs which is a frame company founded in 2003 based in Burbank, California. Their frames fit this style perfectly with their weathered and worn finish with details that include floral patterns (their newest line is shown below) and other details like gold leafing. These new frames are artboard and available in either blue/green or pink/green. Later this month, they will introduce matte boards in pink, blue and sage in both stripes and polka dots to compliment these frames.
Sadly, I can't order these frames in Germany where I live but if I could I would have the Nostaligic round frame (medium) in gray — it's so hard to find frames like this here! If you live in the states you can order from them here.
Have a lovely Friday! I'll be back on Monday — enjoy the weekend!

Black History
Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time
for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history.

XULA Library Resource Center Archives
Xavier Archives and Special Collections houses a number of photographic and manuscript treasures relating to the history of African Americans in
New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Gulf South.
Arthur P. Bedou, one of the preeminent African American photographers of the 20th Century, was also the first official
photographer for Xavier. The Arthur Bedou Collection consists of some one hundred and fifty of his photographs,
including photos of many prominent local Creole individuals and groups, Booker T. Washington (pictured above), and the
last photographs of Marcus Garvey taken before his deportation from the United States (pictured above). In addition to
this collection, the Xavier University Photographs Collections includes some four hundred of Bedou's photographs,
making Xavier Archives the largest repository of his photographs.
Like the Bedou Collection, the Xavier Photographs Collection consists of images of African Americans in New Orleans and the surrounding area.
Within the collection are four photographs of Mother Katherine Seale (pictured above), a 1930's era trombone
playing spiritualist, whose congregation emphasized the importance of women, and held services in a tent in the Ninth Ward. Also in the collection
of photographs of local surgeon Dr. Rivers Frederick, S. W. Green, the Chancellor of the local Knights of Pythias, floats in the Zulu parade, and
group photographs of the People's Life Insurance Company and the staff at Flint-Goodridge Hospital.
The Xavier University Photographs Collection provides a treasure trove of visitors to the campus over the years. Pictured above are three of
those visitors: Andrew Young, Bryant Gumbel, and Arthur Ashe. Among the many other notables whose images can be found in the Archives are
President Obama, Jesse Jackson, poetess Gwendolyn Brooks, opera singer Miriam Anderson, Dr. Ralph Bunche, Olympic medalists Jesse Owens
and Ralph Metcalfe, and entertainers such as Lou Rawls and Lionel Hampton, and many more.
On September 18, 1842, while in Cleveland, Ohio, Frederick Douglass wrote a poem he entitled "Liberty," in which he expounds on his newly found
liberty which allowed him to "talk with thunders." Xavier Archives holds Douglass' original, hand-written poem. This piece is part of the large
Heartman Collection, comprised of original manuscripts from the 1820's to the 1830's depicting the life of both free Blacks and slaves in New
Orleans and Louisiana. Other manuscript collections include clippings from The Crusader newspapers, published in New Orleans in the 1890's by
Rudolphe Dedunes and others involved with the Plessy case, the papers of writer, poet, and editor of Obsidian, Alvin Aubert, and copies of the
Josephite's archives, and many others. Among the Rare Books and Periodicals are Les Cenelles, the first anthology of poetry written and published
by African Americans, St. Augustine's Messenger, and The Claverite.

From March 15-21, 2009, Pine Manor College students traded in their beach towels and sandals for work tools and work boots to experience a spring break like never before in "The Big Easy" – New Orleans, LA.
Through fundraising and collaborative efforts the Center for Inclusive Leadership and Social Responsibility (Cilsr) along with Gulf Coast Volunteers for the Long Haul, which is headed by Rev. Mary Harrington, 10 students, one alumna and two staff members ventured on a life changing journey. "…most amazing and inspiring week in New Orleans," Cilsr Director, Whitney Retallic stated upon her return.
During the course of the week each student was asked to sign up to prepare a meal for the group of 50, which included students from Hampshire College and Smith College, with four others. Each morning the group arose by 7:30a.m., enjoyed breakfast, packed a bag lunch and headed for their worksite, that was posted the night before. Much of the group gained new valuable skills at their worksites that included tutoring at local elementary schools; gutting houses (emptying it to its foundation), tiling floors, grouting floors, fiber glassing buildings and painting to name a few. Students were shocked to see that there was still so much to be done. Senior – Visual Arts major, History minor Samantha Cunningham was one, "You never knew what you were going to see [when] going to the worksite, but the people always showed hope for a new life."
Hope was definitely present. Neighbors of the families' home the groups worked in would often come by just to say, "Hello." They may not have known everyone by name but they knew why we were there and they made sure we knew they appreciated it. At some worksites the group had the honor of working side-by-side with the home owner; sophomore – Social and Political Systems major Sheila Martinez was one of the lucky few, "After seeing everything from the residents' perspective, I have a new appreciation for life and everything I have."
To be sure the group didn't go to sleep with overwhelming emotions the group participated in guided reflection activities in the middle and at the end of the work week. The group also enjoyed social and historical activities, meeting people from the surrounding areas, getting to know each other and going on outings to historic sites such as Snug Harbor. Snug Harbor is a popular jazz club in New Orleans where they witnessed (and some performed with) jazz singer Charmaine Neville. We were also able to go to the Dooky Chase Restaurant which is known for its "Creole cuisine," antiques, original African American art and famous chef, Leah Chase.

geographical nameIsland, south-central Indonesia. It is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, separated from Bali (west) by the Lombok Strait and from Sumbawa (east) by the Alas Strait. It occupies an area of 2,098 sq mi (5,435 sq km). Lombok is divided by two mountain chains; its higher northern range rises to 12,224 ft (3,726 m) at Mount Rinjani. It was ruled by the sultan of Makasar in 1640. The Balinese later seized control and established four kingdoms there; the Dutch ruled the kingdom of Mataram from 1843 and gained control of the entire island by the late 19th century. Following World War II, it became part of Indonesia.

The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. | 1 Zedekiah son of Josiah was made king of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. |
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, hearkened to the words of the LORD, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah. | 2 Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention to the words the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet. |
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to the LORD our God for us. | 3 King Zedekiah, however, sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: "Please pray to the LORD our God for us." |
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison. | 4 Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison. |
5 Then Pharaoh's army had come from Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem. | 5 Pharaoh's army had marched out of Egypt, and when the Babylonians who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew from Jerusalem. |
6 Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, | 6 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet: |
7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you to me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which hath come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land. | 7 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me, 'Pharaoh's army, which has marched out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt. |
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. | 8 Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it down.' |
9 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans will surely depart from us: for they will not depart. | 9 "This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves, thinking, 'The Babylonians will surely leave us.' They will not! |
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained [but] wounded men among them, [yet] would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire. | 10 Even if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian army that is attacking you and only wounded men were left in their tents, they would come out and burn this city down." |
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army, | 11 After the Babylonian army had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army, |
12 Then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people. | 12 Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property among the people there. |
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward [was] there, whose name [was] Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. | 13 But when he reached the Benjamin Gate, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, "You are deserting to the Babylonians!" |
14 Then said Jeremiah, [It is] false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. | 14 "That's not true!" Jeremiah said. "I am not deserting to the Babylonians." But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. |
15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and beat him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. | 15 They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison. |
16 When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; | 16 Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. |
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there [any] word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon. | 17 Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, "Is there any word from the LORD?" "Yes," Jeremiah replied, "you will be handed over to the king of Babylon." |
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, In what have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison? | 18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, that you have put me in prison? |
19 Where [are] now your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? | 19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land'? |
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. | 20 But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there." |
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the baker's street, until all the bread in the city should be consumed. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. | 21 King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard. |

Single-park and Park Hopper passes, three-day tickets and one-day tickets, season passes and seasonal deals—deciphering the welter of admission tickets can be as bewildering as trying to unlock the human genome. Whichever you choose, Disneyland is not cheap: plan to shell out $60 to $80 per day per person for admission, parking, and snacks. If you live in southern California, you also have access to twofers, restricted yearly passes, off-season discounts for locals, and, occasionally, bargain tickets, sold next to the Tic Tacs in the checkout line at supermarkets. If there is even a slight chance you're going to be returning to the area within a year, get the cheapest annual pass available—it runs $229 per person—or, if you have a bit of chicanery in your heart, get a local friend or relative to buy it for you, which will make it $119 with a lot of restricted dates.
Disneyland may attract visitors from everywhere, but it is also the de facto playground for the O.C. (In some parts of Orange County, it would be hard to find a teen who didn't have an annual pass to the resort.) The locals are the ones with sun-kissed spiky hair, tribal tattoos, and T-shirts celebrating Jack Skellington instead of Mickey Mouse—which is okay with Disney, because they own Nightmare Before Christmas too. My favorite day at Disneyland is the last Sunday of August, which is informally known as Bats Day in the Fun Park, a convocation of teen Ursulas and Cruella De Vils and Wicked Stepsisters, the magnitude of which the place sees but once a year.
The Disney resort is less than a 20-minute drive from the splendid Vietnamese restaurants of Orange County's Little Saigon district and a straight shot to the grills and cafés of Anaheim's large Arab neighborhood. Directly south are Santa Ana's wonderful Mexican restaurants. Too bad you're not going to taste any of it. Because once you are finally in the park, there is no way you're going to leave for something so inconsequential as a chicharrones taco. Fortunately, there are a few decent options right here.
In Disneyland: the Blue Bayou (lunch for four $100), a vast dining room that opens onto the swamp at the beginning of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, is the destination restaurant here. Although the Creole-inflected cooking is strictly institutional, generations of California kids swear by the Monte Cristo, which is a sweet, deep-fried club sandwich. Better to pick up a hot churro or a roasted turkey leg from one of the carts scattered around the park, the decent fried chicken at the Plaza Inn, or the massive, hand-dipped corn dogs on Main Street, as good as the ones you had at the state fair.
In Downtown Disney: A quick monorail ride from Tomorrowland takes you to composed salads, pressed sandwiches, and cappuccinos at a branch of Nancy Silverton's renowned La Brea Bakery (lunch for four $35). Other good bets: jambalaya and hot beignets at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (lunch for four $80), the only California outpost from the family that owns Commander's Palace in New Orleans, and Tortilla Jo's (lunch for four $60), a margarita-fueled Mexican restaurant from Patina chef Joachim Splichal. My top pick: Catal (lunch for four $100), Splichal's relaxed French-Mediterranean bistro, which has a nice wine list and a kids' menu of steak frites and chocolate mousse that you will covet for yourself.
If you have the money and the time, Napa Rose (dinner for four $200), the restaurant in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, is one of the highest-rated dining rooms in Orange County. The menu of grill-intensive California cuisine is supplemented by a stunning list of California vintages and the first kids' tasting menu I've seen varied enough to keep even preschoolers in their chairs.

Thursday, August 26, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Bush lawyer resigns over swift-boat flap By Seattle Times news services
Although Benjamin Ginsberg, leader of the 2000 Bush recount legal effort, said his dual roles were "entirely within the boundaries" of federal election law, he wanted to end the "distraction" that his work with Swift Boat Veterans for Truth had caused. Election-law experts agreed that Ginsberg's double duty was permissible as long as he didn't engage in any coordination. Ginsberg's involvement with the swift-boat group caught the Bush campaign by surprise, sources said, and it could create problems for a presidential re-election organization that had stressed it had no ties to the Swift Boat Veterans. "The resignation underscores a serious problem of perception," said Larry Noble, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics. Ginsberg's resignation capped another day of fast-breaking developments in a controversy that has dominated the campaign for almost three weeks. The Kerry campaign attempted to force a showdown near Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland, a triple amputee from wounds suffered in Vietnam, tried to deliver a letter from nine Democratic senators who are veterans that called on Bush to renounce the anti-Kerry ads. "These scurrilous attacks on John Kerry's conduct in war, his courage and his valor are false, and George Bush is behind it," Cleland said after he was turned away from Bush's ranch. "Where is his shame?" The Bush campaign sent out Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, a Marine veteran from Vietnam, to take the letter.
Patterson produced a letter of his own signed by him and six other veterans accusing Kerry of trying to "have it both ways."
While both campaigns continued to spar, both candidates came under criticism from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who supports Bush but has denounced the anti-Kerry ads. In an interview with Knight Ridder Newspapers, McCain reiterated his disgust with the attacks on Kerry, but urged Kerry to pull an ad that uses McCain to attack Bush. Also More documentary evidence supporting Kerry surfaced. A Navy report from a military unit known as Task Force 115 says Kerry was under enemy fire on March 13, 1969, when he rescued Special Forces soldier James Rassmann, leading to a Bronze Star and his third Purple Heart. Task Force 115 was commanded by Roy Hoffmann, now chairman of Swift Boat Veterans. John O'Neill, the chief critic of Kerry's military record, told President Nixon in 1971 that he had been in Cambodia in a Swift boat a claim at odds with recent statements that he was not. "I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border," O'Neill said in a tape found at the National Archives. O'Neill yesterday did not dispute what he said to Nixon, but insisted he never was actually in Cambodia. Compiled from Knight Ridder Newspapers, the Chicago Tribune and The Associated Press.
