Customer Raves & Reviews
excellent colors matching
Tender Tree Rectangle Invitations I wish I would've paid closer attention to the font sizing on our RSVPs & the size of our save the dates, but otherwise, we couldn't be happier!
Ceremony to Remember
Tender Tree Half-fold Programs Our wedding was a Jewish wedding, but my husband is not Jewish. His family is not aware of all the things we do in our religion and so our rabbi suggested to make a program. Best idea ever. We were able to introduce our bridal party, parents, my Nana, explain what certain things were and most of all we were able to acknowledge the people who were not able to be at our wedding who we know would have been if it wasn't for their passing. It was our sentimental remembrance of them. It turned out beautifully!
Great customer service
Tender Tree Rectangle Programs For my daughter's wedding last weekend,we used magnet street to print the order of ceremony. Magnet Street did a wonderful job for us. Quality was excellent. I would definitely recommend this company to others for anything they needed printed. But my only suggestion is that they start the process earlier than we did! Waiting until 2.5 weeks before the ceremony to get them done makes one a little anxious! That's where Magnet Street's customer service is outstanding!
wedding stationary
Tender Tree Rectangle Invitations The invitations came out beautifully! The colors and layout worked perfectly and received so many compliments! We had to fit many details on some of the items, but it did not look cramped and was easy for our out-of towners to follow.
Functional but with personality!
Love in the Woods Rectangle Invitations The MagnetStreet team has done it again! So far we've ordered magnet save the dates, invite proofs (which we were credited for!) and now these awesome "In the Woods" invitations! The designers accommodated our request to remove the oar design since it didn't mesh with the rest of our theme and they sent a revision over right away! The custom color options are also fantastic and very fun and easy to use once you get the hang of it! Thanks again - I'm already designing our Thank You cards!

Hi all,
We were talking about stunted and strange iris growth in another thread, and I got a photo today of the phenomenon in my Ecstatic Echo plant. This has also happened to a division of the plant I gave to my mom last year, so it's not Roundup (which I haven't used anyway). Cajun Rhythm is right next to this iris, and blooms just fine. Any suggestions? Renee |

I have been reading about Ecstatic Echo, and people report trouble with it in hot climates. I know thrips do damage like this too, but I don't see other signs of thrips. Since we both live in California in hot areas, perhaps its the heat that is doing this. |

When the Chevrolet Camaro finally returned to the scene last year, it laid waste to the pony car competition. Even its V-6 was top of the heap, but then the 2011 Mustang V-6 came along and stole the Camaro's thunder, offering even more power. Chevrolet was none too happy about that and has announced today that the Camaro will take back the V-6 crown with 312 horsepower, seven more than the Mustang.
"The 304 horsepower in the 2010 Camaro was actually a conservative rating on our end," said Tom Sutter, GM's V-6 chief engineer. "But we knew already that this award-winning engine produced at least the amount of power we stated, but now we've gone the extra step in certifying the engine for this application and have verified an additional 8 horsepower."
The recertification process also found an extra 5 pound-feet of torque hidden inside the Camaro's 3.6-liter V-6, giving it a new total of 278 pound-feet. Mustang fans will point out that the Camaro still falls 2 pound-feet short of Ford's V-6. Because GM hasn't actually changed anything in the engine, just recertified it, the V-6 Camaro's performance numbers shouldn't change. That means a 0-to-60 time of 5.7 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 14.4 seconds at 98.3 mph, leaving it still just behind the Mustang, which hits 60 in 5.1 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 13.7 seconds at 102 mph, owing to its lighter weight.
Chevrolet didn't just recertify the engine for the 2011 Camaro; it also added some features. After proving popular in the Corvette and other GM cars, Chevrolet will now make its Head-Up Display optional on the Camaro. It's capable of showing vehicle and engine speeds, OnStar directions, stereo settings, temperature, phone information and more.
Also, if you're a fan of the Synergy Green color first launched on a special-edition car, you'll likely to be happy to know the color will be expanded throughout the 2011 Camaro portfolio. For a limited time, the special green will be offered on all trim levels -- including the SS -- for an extra $325.
"When we looked at the overwhelmingly positive reaction we received from SEMA attendees and consumers on Synergy Green, making the color available across the board was pretty much a no-brainer," said John Fitzpatrick, Camaro Marketing Manager.

Log in to share your thoughts Re: What don't I need to pack in my hospital bag? Good question. We put this one to the new moms on our message boards, and here's what they had to say:"I didn't use any of the PJs I packed! Hospital gowns were just fine for breastfeeding." -- MLE21707 "I didn't use my sexy hot pink towels -- I decided to let the blood get on the hospital's gross towels. I didn't use my own underwear either -- I used their mesh ones." -- Kimba1185"I did not need all the baby clothes I packed. In the hospital they kept him swaddled and in a t-shirt (they supplied) and diaper. We only needed I coming home outfit. I also took my own pads, and didn't need them. The hospital ones were 'heavy duty' and worked much better than any I had." -- HappyTXChick"I didn't use my socks -- I had so many hot flashes I didn't need them!" -- gisellems "Definitely didn't need my own nightgown, underwear or toiletries (shampoo, etc.)." -- nielio "I didn't use my big pink fluffy robe to wear over my hospital gown, but I never did walk around during labor either." -- RednekPrincess"I brought the maternity jeans that fit me when I was seven months pregnant, but did not fit when I was nine months pregnant. They still did not fit two days after I gave birth." -- dimake "Leave the 'entertainment items' (movies, magazines, CDs) at home. I was dumb enough to put in a movie while I was in labor, and the nurse and DH were more interested in watching it than paying attention to me!" -- mrsrsh re: Q: Hospital bag don't pack? When I gave birth to my daughter I actually brought a video game console from home. I was induce so I knew that I was going to be there for a while. I was a nice distraction for the early part of my labor, but my gaming skills seemed to wane as I came to the end of my labor. It was really the only thing that I brought with me, and it was a VERY good idea., and thankfully the birthing center I was at was very accomadating. I even had one nurse (who was a guy which was weird when I was having the baby) come in and play games with me for an hour b/c I was the only patient in the birthing center at the time! Traebysbaby | re: Q: Hospital bag don't pack? The only things I actually used (I was induced at 4am and had my son at 9pm) were my sodoku book, my cell phone, the laptop and my toothbrush. You pretty much only need a going home outfit for both you and the baby, the hospital has just about everything else. Qivarys | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I took a laptop and dvds so i could watch movies during labor...it was awesome for passing the time mickig22 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I did not use the nightgown that I packed, nor any of the baby clothes..only the coming home outfit. The hospital also had all the diapers that we needed. geminikah | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Diapers, formula, receiving blankets and nightgowns. All of these are more than provided by the hospital. I brought all that stuff to the hospital and it was all in the way. The hospital provided so much stuff for the baby, my mom took my bag home and dumped them out and took everything from the hospital. they don't do anything but throw it away. WhitBaby | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? It has been along time i forgot all the stuff the hospital provided after reading this i can slim my bag down alot i did only pack a going home outfit for the baby but for got that you stay in that gown until you get ready to go home so I am going to leave in my toiletries and a going home outfit for me and baby float like a butterfly sting like a bee!! heavenschild | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? thanks so much on the info i was so confused on what to take im a single first time mom and my mom is my "back up" so i only want her to worrie about one thing when im ready to go....the car! but you guys left out one thing a camera!!! everyone wants to have pictures of the lil one when it "pops out" newmommie01 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I packed an extra bag with a change of clothes, some extra toiletries, extra socks, and comfort items and left it in my car. I'm glad I did, because I was so uncomfortable in that stupid hospital gown that it was great to be able to send my husband to the parking lot for my extra clothes (instead of sending him home to bring me stuff). cecilitw | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Moms have told me to pack wipes for the baby b/c the hospital only supplies cotton balls and they are awful for those dirty diapers. AGSkelton | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? When I had my daughter, I loved being able to dress her up and make her look pretty. So I actually packed extra baby clothes for this time around. One thing that I did not use was the puzzle books, or game boy. The hospital had really good cable and a movie channel with new movies, so even when the baby was in the room there was always something to do. kittym1c2n3 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? When i had my daughter i forgot my whole bag. When my husband brought it to me i ended up using all the baby clothes for her didnt like the ones they had there, and my own night gown i wanted to be comfortable, the one thing i needed and forgot was breast pads they give hard plastic ones that are not comfortable at all. Im now on baby number two and i am going to remember to pack my bag ahead of time. angeluv4uus | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I'm about to have my first baby any day now. I'm in a birthing center, so I guess it is a lot different from a hospital, but they gave me a really long list of stuff to pack and I'm only supposed to be there 6-12 hours after the baby is born. I am having a waterbirth though so I have to have a swimsuit and so does my hubby. About the wipes...I read that you aren't supposed to use baby wipes on the baby for the first month or something like that, that you are supposed to use cotton balls and warm water. Maybe that's why they don't provide wipes at the hospital? jes1404 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? For the ladies worried about cotton balls vs. wipes. I used the hospital washcloths with warm water, when I had my first son. Someone else is doing the laundry anyway. taffie | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I also forgot to mention that the cotton balls are nice for circumcisions though, washcloths are rough and the chemicals in wipes aren't recommended. taffie | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? The chemicals in wipes are always a bad idea. I'm using a pure detergent for my baby's clothes, so why would I wipe her most delicate parts with preservatives and other nasties? Water and a washcloth is always the best idea, until you can really get them clean at bathtime. KatAaaa! | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? You really dont need much..Just tooth brush, makeup, some hair gel, brush,some lotion and sandals if u wanna shower in the hospital. For the baby just 1 outfit so when u bring him/her home..i highly recommend to pack a bag for the siblings..just in case they have to stay with someone. =) andrea_23 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? you definitely don't need make up and hair gel! I stayed in the hospital gowns last time, but because I was too lazy to change and too lazy to get up regularly to change my pad. This time, I packed black sweatpants (just in case it won't stain) and a tank top...to be more comfy. Other than that, a coming home outfit for baby, cotton pads (they simulate wipes better than cotton balls), and a diaper for the ride home--we don't use disposables at home. Face wash and stuff... tooth brush... really, you want essentials. anything that makes you look pretty, you can leave at home. afskinner | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Even though you aren't in the hospital that long and probably won't really feel like getting dressed to the nines, it is nice to know you can make yourself presentable if you would like to. Go ahead and pack makeup, hair supplies (for easy maintenance- I have curly hair and gel is the easiest thing for me to do) and a comfy/ cute outfit.. Remember you will be being photographed quite a bit during this time and some people just feel better automatically when they feel dressed. Also, check with your hospital to see what they use (especially on things like the cotton balls versus wipes/ washcloths) and disposable underwear/ pads for you. This way you are more prepared for what you actually need (and it is completely ok to want your own things from home). fashionflirt2000 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I brought 2 or 3 outfits for both of my first two kids and was glad I did! Especially with my little girl. She weighed 7 lbs 4 oz when she was born, but had a few problems and had to stay in the nursery. She lost a little over a half pound before we got to take her home 5 days later. I was glad I had packed a backup outfit that fit a little smaller than the one I really wanted her to wear. The one I originally picked out for her to wear home didn't end up fitting her until she was almost 2 months old! saradu | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I bought a brand new plush fluffy white bathrobe for the hospital- I'm pretty sure I spent around $70 on it. Apparently someone forgot to tell me, and I didn't do enough reading to find out how much BLOOD there was!! I had NO idea! Seriously!! Call me stupid, but I thought once the baby was out, it was all over. Plus the bathrobe would have been way too hot. I also didn't wear any of the underwear or pants I brought. Blood- Ugh! Not looking forward to that again! SuperMomReturns | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? If you are planning on a c-section then you would need to bring other items from home. One thing I can recommend is a belly band, to support your belly post c-section. The hospital has this if you don't have one, but there are nicer ones out there. Bring soft slippers for that first trip out of bed after anesthesia runs off and they ask you to walk. I was very uncomfortable, from the incision, so you may want to bring an extra pillow from home, or request nurse bring you 2 pillows because hospital pillows are very thin. Bring a non-perfumed/fragrance liquid soap or bar soap that you know is not going to gather bacteria. You will need this to clean your incisions with warm water in the mornings and at night before sleeping. It will keep away infections and the staples wont have that nasty 'ooze' all over them. Bring change and cash with you. They will want you on a liquid diet, but if you are breast feeding you need to have something else to consume that is light and non-invasive. I will be having another C-sec in November and this was what I learned the first time around. boobgenie409 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I didn't wear any of the shirts I brought - I did switch to my own pj's on the second day, but had to borrow my husband's shirts as I was still wearing the really thick pads and were very obvious with my shirts. So if you plan to switch to your own pj's, you probably want some long shirts... MichAW | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Socks, a t-shirt, and baggy pj pants are a must. You need to feel comfy. Leave robes just bring a sweater. Do not pack makeup, just lipgloss and a ponytail holder. DVD players and magazines were a waste. yesacruz | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? You have to think and know that people go into labor all of a sudden all the time, so hospitals will have anything you could possibly need! Our hospital even has carseats they give you if you need one! Chances are, you will go home wearing the same thing you showed up in (Yes it will still fit you after you give birth!). All you really need is something for the baby to wear home, and whatever you want from home that helps make you comfy if you need it. tkcbupp | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I highly recomend bringing a breast pump if you are gong to breastfeed. With my 2nd child my milk came in at the hospital and I was so ingourged that the baby couldn't latch on. The hospital said they could only give me a hand pump if the baby was sick or needed NICU care. It was aweful!!! I will be bringing my hand pump this time. Instread of nursing bras wear a nursing tank top or other really comfortable nursing top (think visiters in the room). A PLASTIC VASE for flowers that do not come with a vase is somrthing good to pack. Pack light when it comes to your own clothes, you really dont need much, your just going to be sitting around in your bed. I dont have cable at home so i am excited about being able to watch TV, but if you are already a tv watcher then dvds and stuff might keep you better entertained than basic cable, but I think you could leave that kinda stuf at home. Our Hospital has a picture taking thingy so a cute picture outfit might be needed, but your going home outfit might be just fine. The boppy pillow makes a nice cushion to sit on if you need that and I really did with my first child! A Cell phone would be nice too. Michellemomof3 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I loved having my make up and the travel sizes of my shampoo, conditioner, and lotion! It made me feel SOOOOO much better to be able to look (and smell!) semi-good after having a baby! The hospital things will work fine, but it's nice to feel like yourself after such a life changing event! Lady713Luck | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? if having a hospital birth i would suggest bringing the bare minimum. chances are it will either get lost, ruined or just go unused. the mesh underwear sounds gross, but having bloody underwear of your own is worse. USE THE MESH! also if nursing, wait until you get to the hospital to buy a nursing tank/bra .. they usually have a fitter in there that will get you the right size and right artical of clothing for you. then you can buy more once your home. thats what we did. bring a toothbrush, and travel toiletries. (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant) you neednt bring any make up or hair products.. unless you think the nurses are going to mind your "just labored" look. i brought make up with me cause they say its nice to feel like a human.. but theres no time, rhyme or reason to need to wear make up. your baby doesnt care what you look like. i am having my son at a birth center this time, and am lost as to what to bring since it is so much different than a hospital. but they gave me a checklist of the absolute necessities. personal hygeine items.. outfit for me baby and dad. swim wear for the tub (if uncomfortable naked) .. diapers for baby.. nursing items.. camera/camcorder .. music.. things for to eat/drink .. a bag for hubby and other children. tracycerra | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Don't need: tons of clothes, diapers, formula, bottles, pump, toiletries, underwear, pads. Do need: Camera, and extra set of clothes for dad (he doesn't get a nifty gown but may get puked on), something to do, and a take home or first picture outfit for baby, and you. I've noticed a lot of people leaving out dad and his needs. Make sure you take something for him to do and wear. Greatdialup | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I bought a really long shirt/moo moo gown thing with my daughter and loved it with those nice mesh undies they give you. If the hospital is anything like ours, it gets stuffy, so no sweat pants were nessecary lol. A camera works, but I brought a disposable incase I had a guest or staff who wasn't honest (never know). A take home outfit for baby, if at all possible buy a premie one, because newborn take home outfits are huge. But also bring a newborn outfit incase your little one is to big for a premie. A cell phone is nice. and a go home outfit as well for you. The hospital does supply everything you need and it is wonderful. But don't forget the carseat or you can't take baby home. leelynsmoma | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Something that helped me a lot with my son that people don't mention is to bring hard candy because you won't be able to eat and something for aromatherapy during the contractions really takes your mind off the pain. tinah888 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Having nice travel sized tolietries from home for the first showers was really nice.. definatley recommend! And a hairbrush, lip balm, and music (i had an MP3 player with travel speakers) worked great during my long labor. My hair would be knotted and the brushing felt good. I also liked having some makeup with me for my final couple days. Yes, not necessary for labor and at first, but I ended up having a C-Section and was there extra time. I never used the long t-shirt I brought for a nightgown (hospital gowns are easier for breastfeeding/pumping), but was really glad to have the thin and lightweight silky robe that I brought for over my hospital gown for trips to the nursery or down the hall. bugmagnt | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I brought a portable DVD player with my first born... I was induced... I did not even watch a full movie... I did not pack another one! I will say though, that with all three of my previous births, there were huggies brand wipes provided by the hospital! I am currently 31 weeks pregnant with number four, and I am looking forward to packing just the bare minimum and meeting my son! fallenangelmom | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? With my first I packed everything I would as if I was staying the night with my friend. I didnt use any of it. Thank God. I was so heavy bleeding that I bled all over everything. I even had to call the nurses to change my sheets. I do suggest bringing some chap stick bc my lips got so dry. And when you leave the hospital, literally take everything home that they provide for you, (I.e. towels, diapers, bags, cups). It all comes in handy at home. Plus, that's what its there for. tnt3 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? I'll just say this - be warned! When I gave birth to my daughter, I used and took home everything the hospital so generously offered me - the kimono type shirts for the baby, the pads, the underwear, the toiletries, the diapers, the pacificers - everything. I thought it was complimentary. It was not. When we got our outrageous bill from L&D, I asked for an itemized list of what they were charging me for - and there was every last item I had used or taken home, listed. They even charged me $12 for a pill cutter that the nurse used to cut a pill in half for me. SERIOUSLY. So, this time around, I'll be taking my own supplies and not using any of theirs. I'm sure it's different at each facility - it may be worth asking when you take your L&D tour. Good luck! LizTedrow83 | Q&A: What don't I need to pack for the hospital? Here's a link with easy to understand and a simple list of everything you should bring to the hospital WITH PICTURES from a second time mommy. http://makeoverwithaspen.blogspot.com/2013/07/what...

The Braves ended their regular season on a high note with a 45-42 win over 2-18 Salem on Friday.
"It was an emotional night, it being Senior Night," Borden coach Doc Nash said. "We were able to make a couple plays down the stretch to pull out the victory."
Both teams got off to poor starts. Salem scored just one first-quarter point and Borden's Garrett Vick shouldered the scoring load netting all eight Brave first quarter points.
Both teams opened up in the second quarter. Josh Vollstedt caught fire for Borden and scored 13 of its 17 points in the frame. Salem put together 15 points of their own sending the game into the half with a 25-16 Borden advantage.
Salem got back into the game after the break, and closed the gap completely entering the final quarter knotted at 33.
In the fourth quarter the Braves tightened up on defense and were able to make the timely plays to close the regular season at 16-4.
Vollstedt finished with a game-high 20 points and hit four of the team's five 3-pointers. Vick added 11 points for the Braves.
Borden begins sectional play Friday and will await the winner of Rock Creek (13-9) and South Central (5-16).

The Rock Creek Lions will enter section play on a four-game winning streak after a 70-55 drumming of Cannelton on Friday.
Rock Creek looked to end the season with the victory and jumped on the Bulldogs from the opening tip.
With a 40-22 Lion lead going into the half, Rock Creek was in full control and was able to empty its bench.
"This was a good win for our guys," Lion coach Chris Brown said. "It was Senior Night and we were able to play all 11 guys."
Devin Burt led Rock Creek with 17 points. Will Brown scored 16, Ronald Karenzi added 10 and Gedeon Nzombi was a rebound away from a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds.
Rock Creek (13-9) will face South Central (5-16) Tuesday in the opening round of the Class A Borden Sectional.
Cannelton 11 11 10 23—55

What is in this article?:
- 2014 Second 100: Appendix
- Explanation of Terms
- Frequently Asked Questions
This is part of Nation's Restaurant News' annual Second 100 report, a proprietary census ranking restaurant brands Nos. 101-200 by U.S. systemwide sales and other data. This special report focuses on a smaller, more growth-oriented universe than the Top 100 report.
Explanation of Terms
Definitions of column headers for chain and company tables throughout the report:
Chain: The brand name of the restaurants, retail stores or other entities in a multiunit organization, as identified by signage, logos or trademarks.
Chains/divisions: The names of the chains or foodservice groups operated or franchised by the company or its operating subsidiary. In some instances the listed chain or chains are franchises of restaurant brands owned by other companies.
Company: The business entity that ultimately owns the specified foodservice revenue. An asterisk indicates a U.S.-based entity whose stock is publicly traded in the United States.
Concept: The type of restaurant or foodservice operation run by the chain, as defined generically by its food type, service style, retail context or operating format. Most concepts are self-defining and categorized by Second 100 traditional categorical parameters. Full-service concepts are distinguished from one another by dissimilar price-point ranges and whether full bar service is included in operations, as in casual-dining restaurants.
Fiscal year-end: The ending date of the fiscal year represented in the Latest-Year column. If a fiscal year's actual ending date occurs in the first half of a month, the preceding full month is shown as its fiscal year-end, pursuant to conventional financial-reporting practices.
Latest Year, Preceding Year and Prior Year: Three consecutive years, the most recent of which ended or will end in the month and year indicated in the fiscal year-end column.
Latest-Year rank: The Second 100 chains and Second 100 companies are ranked in descending order on the basis of actual, estimated or projected systemwide food and beverage sales for the organizations' latest fiscal years, generally the year ended or ending nearest Dec. 31, 2013. Data are limited to the chains' systemwide food and beverage sales in the United States only; company data are limited to domestically generated revenue derived from foodservice only. Ties are assigned the same rank.
Preceding-Year rank: The same Second 100 chains and Second 100 companies are ranked on the basis of U.S. foodservice sales and revenue in their preceding full fiscal year.
Parent company: The business entity that owns a chain's trademarks and master franchising rights, whether directly or through an operating subsidiary, and that ultimately profits from operating, franchising or licensing its concepts. An asterisk indicates a U.S.-based entity whose stock is traded publicly in the United States.
U.S. food and beverage revenue: Sums generated through U.S. consumer foodservice activities by the company or its operating subsidiaries. U.S. dollar amounts are irrespective of foreign-currency conversions by foreign-based companies. Included are sales at company-owned operations as well as food and beverage sales royalties and fees collected from franchisees. Excluded from revenue figures are total sales at franchised restaurants, revenues generated by manufacturing or wholesaling of food or other products, foodservice distribution revenues, and other revenues from nonfoodservice sources. Figures for hotels, contractors, in-store feeders and theme parks exclude nonfoodservice retail sales and contract activities. When there is no revenue figure in the Preceding or Prior Year, the company is either a new corporate entity or an existing company that did not book U.S. foodservice revenue.
U.S. systemwide foodservice sales: Foodservice sales at all domestic restaurants, stores or other outlets in a chain, including company-owned, company-managed, franchised and licensed units. Sales from manufacturing, distribution, merchandise, video games, facilities rentals and other nonfood sources are excluded.

FCC adjusts focus on U.S. broadband policy
The United States' broadband policy is going to be technology-neutral, and will recognize that "relying on market forces alone will not bring robust and affordable broadband services to all parts of rural America."
The Federal Communications Commission has just published "Bringing Broadband to Rural America" (available here). The report does not set policy – not due until 2010 – but it does state principles that the final policy will be based on.
Acting FCC Chairman Michael Copps calls the report "a prelude to, and a building block for, the national broadband plan." Unlike most government documents, this carries a byline – Copps' byline. For a government document, the report is almost shockingly readable.
The "market forces" argument is likely to be controversial, but after getting input from many of the key providers of broadband in the U.S., Copps is firm. His conclusion is that "all levels of government should explore ways to help overcome the high costs of rural broadband deployment."
The report states explicitly that policy will remain technology-neutral. It refers to DOCSIS 3.0, new wireless technologies (specifically Long Term Evolution and WiMAX), and to FTTP approaches adopted by more and more rural carriers and co-ops, as well as to broadband over powerline (BPL).
The report recommends tight coordination among federal organizations, state authorities, and – in an expansion of the list stakeholders – tribal governments and local communities. That coordination should extend to standardizing on definitions, specifically including the definition of "rural."
The National Cable & Telecommunications Association has been one of the strongest voices advocating for consideration of the demand side of the broadband supply and demand equation, and the FCC acknowledges that demand will be an important factor.
"Various factors may affect demand for broadband services in rural areas, including a lack of knowledge regarding the benefits of Internet access, lack of training on how to use a computer, socioeconomic and demographic factors, and affordability," the report states. "To help stimulate and sustain demand for broadband services in rural areas, both public and private entities should consider developing consumer education and training initiatives, broadband affordability programs and other incentives to achieve sustainable penetration rates."
Broadband policy will have to take into account a number of related issues in order to be successful, the FCC argued. These include universal service reform (which Copps singled out as a priority), network openness, spectrum access, middle mile/special access reform, intercarrier compensation, access to poles and rights of way, tower siting and video programming proceedings.
The American Cable Association jumped in with praise: "ACA agrees that a rural broadband strategy must address middle-mile connectivity. Many small- and medium-size broadband providers can't offer their rural customers high-speed Internet access at reasonable prices when the Internet backbone service providers are overcharging them for their low-capacity, middle-mile pipes."
The report has no specific mention of retransmission consent, but ACA President and CEO Matthew Polka took the opportunity of an oblique mention of "video program proceedings" to comment on one of his organization's biggest frustrations.
Polka said: "ACA also agrees that video programming issues are germane to a discussion about rural broadband deployment. When small- and medium-size operators in rural areas are forced by broadcasters to pay higher retransmission consent fees than larger operators in cities, and to carry unwanted channels by the media conglomerates, consumers in rural America pay the price because their cable provider has less money and bandwidth to devote to high-speed Internet access."

Learn about creating your own personalized check list by reviewing how to create a backwards timeline.
Three weeks out from your event is a good time to check to see how your planning is coming along. The following is a checklist to make sure your organizers are on track to planning a successful event.
Day of the Event List
The day of the event is often chaotic. We have created a list of tasks to help you organize and keep track of your progress throughout the event day.
Early A.M.
Mid Day
One hour before Event
End of the Event
Providing Notice of Availability of Information in Accessible Formats
Any publication describing services, programs, or activities (e.g., brochures, handouts, position announcements) must include the following statement:
This publication will be made available in an accessible format upon request. Please call [list the phone number and contact person of the sponsoring department].
Accessible formats can include: large print, Braille, or audio taping. Departments are encouraged to state if specific formats already exist.
Note: Individuals requesting large print usually need font size 18 or greater. Braille transcription is limited on campus, but can be done with advance notice from an ASCII file. Specialized formats and tape recorders may need to be used for audio taping materials. Short passages can often be read directly to the person.
For more information visit the Technology Access Program.
Providing Notice of Opportunity to Request Accommodation Based on Disability
Physical access must be provided for all campus programs, conferences, and events. It is the responsibility of the coordinator of the event to make sure that the location is physically accessible and to be aware of particular limitations of the space (i.e. front and back access to a room, parking nearby). By inviting requests for accommodations by a specific deadline, needs should be met and surprise requests prevented.
Allow at least seven working days when scheduling a sign language interpreter. When a formal lecture is given, it is helpful to provide a copy of the speech to the interpreter several days ahead of time. Sessions that last more than three hours will usually require at least two interpreters who share responsibilities. For interpreter services, contact Disability Access Services at (541) 737-3670.
Please note that when academic credit is being received by an OSU student for attending a program, it is the responsibility of the student to request accommodations through the Services for Students with Disabilities Program.
Athletic, Theater, and Music Events
Individuals attending campus events must be given the opportunity to request accommodations within a specific time period. All announcements, ticket information, brochures, posters, etc., should include the following statement:
Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made to [sponsoring department contact person and phone number].
Note: If specific equipment is available or is a sign language interpreter has already been scheduled for a specific performance, note that on printed materials.
Lodging Accommodations
To the extent possible, no University sponsored event should be held in an inaccessible location on or off campus. If an event includes arrangements for lodging, the degree of accessibility must be determined and alternatives to inaccessible meeting rooms developed. Hotels should have completed an ADA barrier survey and should be aware of the extent to which their facilities are accessible.
The event coordinator should make certain the hotel understands its responsibility for access and has a procedure for asking if customers have special needs related to a disability. If a lodging facility does not handle registration, the event sponsor needs to coordinate receiving requests for accommodations or insure that a lodging representative is named as the contact person for accommodation requests.
This publication will be made available in accessible formats upon request to the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity. Please call (541) 737-3556.
This information was provided by the office of Affirmative Action and can be found at the Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, disabililty resources web site in the "Guidelines for providing notice of access.
Pre-recorded home videocassettes and DVDs ('Videos') that are available for rental or purchase include the right to exhibit the movie for home use only.
These motion pictures do not include a license for showing outside one's home. If you wish to show movies for any other use or in any other place, you must have a SEPARATE license which specifically authorizes such use.
These simple and straightforward rules are detailed in the federal Copyright Act, as amended, Title 17 of the United States Code. According to The Copyright Act, only the copyright owner holds the exclusive right, among others, "to perform the copyrighted work publicly." (Section 106) In summary, the Copyright Act mandates:
The rental or purchase of a Video does not bear the right "to perform the copyrighted work publicly." (Section 202)
Videos may be shown without a SEPARATE license in the home to "a normal circle of family and its social acquaintances" (Section 101) because such showings are not considered "public."
Videos may be shown without a license for non-profit educational purposes and in certain narrowly defined "face-to-face teaching activities" because the law provides limited exceptions for such showings. (Section 110(1)).
All other public performances of Videos are illegal unless they have been authorized by license. Even "performances in 'semipublic' places such as clubs, lodges, factories, summer camps and schools are 'public performances' subject to copyright control." (Senate Reprt No. 94-473, page 60; House Report No. 94-1476, page 64).
Both for-profit organizations and non-profit institutions must secure a license to show Videos, regardless of whether an admission fee is charged. (Senate Report No. 94-473, page 59; House Report No. 94-1476, page 62)
A party is liable for contributory infringement when it, with knowledge of the infringing activity, contributes to the infringing conduct of another.
Proprietors of a social establishment are vicariously liable for infringement committed by an independent contractor. Vicarious liability arises where a party has "the right and ability to supervise the infringing activity and also has a direct financial interest in such activities." Gershwin Publishing Corp. Vs. Columbia Artists Management, Inc., 443 F.2d1159, 1161 (2d Cir. 1971). Both the property owner and exhibitor must make sure a license is in place before a video is shown by either party.
Non-compliance with The Copyright Act is considered infringement and carries steep and significant penalties. Such exhibitions are federal crimes and subject to a $150,000 penalty per exhibition (Section 506). In addition, even inadvertent infringers are subject to substantial civil damages ($750 to $30,000 for each illegal showing) and other penalties. (Sections 502-505)
Please do not hesitate to call us at (800) 462-8855 or send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions about the U.S. Copyright Law.
Q. We own the video, do we still need a license to view or show it in public?
A. Yes. The location requires a license regardless of who owns the Video. While you may own the actual video, you are only granted the right to view it in your home, not to perform it in public.
Q. We do not charge admission. Do we still need a license?
A. Yes. Regardless of whether an admission fee is charged, a license is required. However, the Umbrella License® covers only those situations where admission is not charged.
Q. We are a non-profit organization. Do we still need a license?
A. Yes. Under the law, it does not matter if you are a non-profit or for-profit organization. You are required to have a public performance license to show Videos.
Q. How much does the Umbrella License cost?
A. In most cases, the MPLC has set license fees based on the type and size of facility. However, if the facility and/or use falls outside of these categories we will determine a reasonably priced license fee within your organization's means based on the nature and size of the audience and anticipated frequency of showings.
Q. We are a preschool; do we qualify for a "face-to-face" teaching exemption?
A. No. The educational exemption is narrowly defined and applies to non-profit academic institutions only.
Q. We show videos on our closed-circuit system. Do we need a license?
A. Yes. The Copyright Act provides that closed-circuit transmissions are automatically deemed public performances.
Q. We are not open to the general public. Do we still need a license?
A. Yes. Any location outside of the home is considered public for copyright purposes and requires a license.
When in doubt, check with the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation to make sure your activity is exempt.
Open events, on or off campus, that involve the service of food by a University recognized organization must be in compliance with the regulations of Benton County Environmental Health Division, OSU and the State of Oregon.
The following is an outline to assist student groups in planning and preparing a safe and successful food event.
Women's Center, Native American Long House, Cesar Chavez Cultural Center, Asian Cultural Center and the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center can be licensed as a Temporary Restaurant by Benton County for small gatherings with limited menus sponsored or co-sponsored by the Centers. Contact Benton County Environmental Health to submit application for license. Events that have an outdoor cooking component may be required to have a Temporary Restaurant License. Contact Benton County Environmental Health to submit application for license.
All groups preparing foods for public consumption are required to have at least one member with a Food Handlers Permit through Benton County Environmental Health. This person is responsible for training volunteers in safe food handling practices. At least one licensed food handler should be present at the event at all times.
Items that are purchased service ready,( i.e., deli trays, baked goods and fruit trays, must meet Benton County requirements during transport, holding and serving. Special attention should be given to maintaining temperature, sanitation and safety and to eliminating the possibility of cross contamination.
Many venues on campus have a specific list of approved food service providers. Make sure your plans fit within the guidelines of the venue.
Please note: due to a University wide Pepsi contract, no other brand of canned or bottled beverage is allowed during any food event, as of 6/11/2006.
Tips for a Successful Self-Produced Food Event
Investigate possible menu structures Provide 2 or 3 options. Have the committee research best fit options. A variety of items including meat, vegetarian, entrees, side dishes, appetizers, desserts, and beverages should be researched.
When choosing recipes keep these things in mind:
Collaborate with the Committee Chairs to discuss set-up, decorations
Create a serving plan
Clean up
It is your responsibility to make sure your event is safe and within code. No flames (such as candles) may be burned without written permission from the fire marshall. Also, make sure that all exit doors are marked and accessible. For questions regarding Fire Safety contact the Corvallis Fire Department at (541) 766-6961.
Uniform Fire Code Permit Requirements (Word Document)
Once you have chosen your event components, tasks, event coordinator, and committees, you will want to map out a backwards timeline. The timeline is a guide to make sure you include all the details and tasks to make the event successful.
Begin with the actual day of the event. This is week zero. Write down everything that will take place on the day of the event, including tasks, program, decorations etc.
Then, working backwards from week one, write down what needs to be done in the prior weeks to make your event occur as you have mapped out.
Make sure you map out the most important components first, and then add the less necessary components.
Also, having your committees map out their own backwards timeline for their specific component can be a very effective way to make sure they are aware of everything they are responsible for.
Backwards Timeline Example:

The Wonderland Murders
Wadd the Informer
Dressed in hip-huggers, with his shirt unbuttoned to expose a bony chest, 'Johnny Wadd' looked more like a cheap imitation of a Las Vegas lounge singer than a classy Sherlock Holmes. He chewed bubblegum on camera and bungled his lines. But none of this mattered, of course — the Wadd flicks weren't really about winning Oscars, they were about showcasing Holmes' assets.
Nevertheless, this was back in the days when the nascent porn industry believed it was making art, not smut, and directors wanted their theatre pornographique to have a cohesive plotline in addition to frenetic humping.
Producing porn in the early '70s was still a felony. In 1972, the movie Deep Throat was ruled obscene and shut down in theaters around the country. In 1973, Holmes was arrested on location and charged with pimping and pandering. He called Sharon to bail him out, but she didn't have the money, so he struck a deal with the LAPD: He'd keep the department abreast of the goings-on at local porn sets, and the department would keep him out of jail, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Making pornography was hard work, but Holmes bragged to Hustler that he was a natural for the job:
"I can keep an erection almost indefinitely. In a porno movie, a four-minute sex scene on the screen means that I have maintained an erection for the five hours it took to shoot it, dripping sweat under klieg lights hot enough to drive the temperature on a set up to 104 degrees. I can also keep an erection straddling a girl at the edge of a cliff, looking down at 300 feet of nothing, with my knees bleeding from the sandstone surface. I come on cue."
Holmes bragged to the magazine in a 1983 interview that he'd had sex with some 14,000 women, including tricks ranging from 35 to 60 years old who paid him handsomely for his services.
"Twelve of these women, all married and with the approval of their husbands, are mothers of children I have sired — each for a large fee."
What is true is that in his prime, the 'The Sultan of Smut' made over 2,000 pornos and commanded $3,000 a day to have sex on-camera.
At his nadir, he smoked away roughly the same amount in freebase cocaine.

The Dangers of Sleep Deprivation
Your brain requires a certain amount of sleep in order to operate and function properly. If you get less sleep than your brain needs…then technically, you are considered sleep deprived. Each year, thousands of people (who have NOT gotten enough sleep) get behind the wheel of a car or other piece of heavy machinery and cause accidents. Not good. Driving while sleep deprived has become such a huge problem that an actual foundation was formed to bring awareness to the issue. The Drowsy Driver Program was formed by the National Sleep Foundation in order to educate people about the dangers of driving (or working with heavy machinery) on little to no sleep.
Consequences of Sleep Deprivation
If you don't sleep well on a regular basis then you probably feel drained and downright awful. People who do not get enough sleep are, for lack of better words, running on an empty tank of gas. They have trouble doing basic, daily tasks as their minds are dull and their bodies unmotivated. What a horrible way to live! Sleeping poorly can really affect your life. Individuals that do not get enough sleep on a regular basis also……
- Age more rapidly
- Are irritable and not fun to be around (this can affect both your personal and work relationships)
- Become depressed more easily
- Develop an increase risk of heart disease and obesity (great…fat, tired and sick…not good!!)
- Become sick more easily (due to a worn down immune system)
- Have trouble dealing with stress
- Forget things
- Develop a lack of concentration and decision making skills begin to decline
If you are sleep deprived it is very important that you examine your life style in order to figure out why you are not getting enough rest. Are you working too much? Staying out too late? Or can you simply NOT fall asleep due to stress or a possible medical condition? Whatever the cause may be, it is important that you confront the issue immediately as I promise you…sleep deprivation and all of the problems associated with it WILL EVENTUALLY CATCH UP WITH YOU!
Go to Bed! Recognizing When You are Tired!
When you are tired and your body has had enough…trust me, it will tell you! Recognizing sleep deprivation isn't difficult. Your brain has several ways of letting you know that enough is enough…time for bed! LISTEN to your brain! Sleep is a necessary and important part of life. In order for your brain and body to recharge…you must sleep at least six to eight hours per night! Let your body do its' job…and go to bed! If you have a sleep disorder that is making sleep difficult or impossible…well, that is a different story and will be discussed in another post (so be sure to come back soon!). In the meantime, go take a nap!
Signs That You are Tired or too Tired to Drive
- Yawning and rubbing of the eyes
- You can't keep your head up (droopy head)
- You can't keep your eyes open
- You are in a daze while driving and miss your exit…or worse, can't remember driving for the past few minutes
- Constant blinking, droopy eyes
- While driving you are startled by the sound of your car hitting the rumble strips that are located on the side of the road
It is important to note that if you are driving…and realize that you are tired…PLEASE pull over! Call a friend or family member to come get you. After all, it is YOUR LIFE we are talking about here. Not to mention you are dangerous to OTHER DRIVERS as well!!!

After more than seven decades, a 90-year-old man was recently reunited with his high school class ring.
Jesse Mattos said he accidentally flushed the beloved ring down the toilet 72 years ago. He never thought he'd see the jewelry again.
That is, until he got an unexpected phone call from Dunsmuir, Calif., city worker Tony Congi.
"He called me up, told me 'I found your ring.' (I asked) 'What ring?'" Mattos recalled. "He says, 'Well it's your ring, I think. Because it's got your initials in it. And I looked in the year book, and you're the only one in '38 that had those initials.'"
Congi found the ring in a backed up sewer line. Inside the ring were "Class of 1938" and the initials "J.T.M."
Mattos said it's amazing the man went through all the effort of finding him.
"That was an expensive ring," Mattos said. "It cost $29. In those days that was expensive!"

I've seen prices range from $60 to $160. What's the price for one of these? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is a Capital Wok ring for Precision and other non-Culinarians that is about ~$60. Then there is a Capital Culinarian Wok Grate. Cheapest price I have seen is $140 with free shipping. |
WOW, pretty proud of thier Wok Ring I would say.... |
It is about the price of any pro-style grate of the same weight. Pic below |

I've got one, no pictures to share though. Works as described. Very sturdy and stir frying clearly as good as you can get on a residential unit, but still a cry from the crazy heat made by dedicated commercial units. Yes, Bluestar lets you do this without buying a ring. I will add I was able to get a BIG wok, onto it though, maybe its 18 or 22 inches across? This might not be as possible with the bluestar. I don't have any issues swapping out the grates. Heavy, but take your time and don't drop them. |
Vs Bluestar if you turn the grate to block the view of flames it protects your hand from the heat. I didn't think much about it when I purchased CC but I really that about the range. |

I watch almost everything alone, so calling out at the screen is of limited utility. The 2009 version also suffers if you watch it minus a 3D screen so that the gimmick shots stand out as what they are.
The Towering Inferno. Why the hell did I watch this? Disaster movies aren't my favorite, and Irwin Allen specialized in this kind of thing.
Okay, setup. A gigantic skyscraper - the tallest building in the world as of 1974 - is undergoing its inaugural gala tonight in San Francisco. Lots of people will be there, but something's wrong on the 81st floor - it seems a wire from an electric connector came loose and sparked a collection of oily rags inside an isolated room. What will happen?
Before we continue, let's meet just some of our cast!
Steve McQueen IS the Chief of the Fire Department in San Francisco who doesn't appear until 43 minutes in!
Paul Newman IS the architect who designed the building and is not happy about the shortcuts taken in its construction!
William Holden IS the business magnate who funded the enterprise, and whose son-in-law made the electric system happen!
Faye Dunaway IS Paul Newman's partner! Want more character traits? You're in the wrong movie.
Fred Astaire IS a guy who takes a woman to the gala for some reason!
O.J. Simpson IS the chief of the building's security!
Robert Vaughn IS a US Senator!
Plenty of others here too, don't worry!
Like so many disaster movies, there are just too damn many characters. Some of them are completely useless, and others just serve to pad the running time to the outlandish length of 2:40. That's Transformers-movie timesink level, people. Not to say this is on the level of those helpings of garbage, it's just way way too long. Trimming an hour would have been easy. It's nice to see the shots of fire engines zipping through the streets of San Francisco, but they're unnecessary. Entire characters are unnecessary, come to that. More snipping could eliminate the option of a drinking game whenever an exterior shot of the tower in flames appears. There are a lot of those shots, but the movie is so long that lots of space between them still happens.
I can praise the work of numerous stunt men, several of whom are on fire for long periods of time. Effects are mostly good, though the rear projection is pretty obvious often. The script is stupid though and the whole thing is way too long. For being the only time a lot of these people shared the screen, it's a lousy way to go. Fans of 70s disaster movies probably still like it.

You are supposed to play the Civil War game using cards from the same house. But wouldn't it be more fun playing all characters at the same time, as the characters in the book seem to dwindle back and forth anyhow. I also just don't have that many cards yet as I just own 1 core and 1 deluxe exp. Is this doable or am I missing something obvious?
I'm not fully familiar with the cards yet, but it seems a better format in theory. I know the Starks, for one, will have need of the direwolfs and that will be hard, but most others will be fine on itself, right?
It speaks for itself the additional gold costs will be annuled.

I can't translate that sentence, "hail to the king". I've found something like "greetings to the king" but is this correct?
Nowadays, among it's meanings it has this one: The Archaic usage is signalled as follows:
Considering this, we can say that "Hail to the King!" can be both a way to express acclaim, praise to the King and express greeting. But we even might be able to say that it can be both together. Deciding which one of these is the correct meaning depends on the context, as it usually happens with words with different acceptions. The Etymology is this one: which is related (it surprised me a bit) with Whole and its etymology: |
You need only look up the definition of hail: In this case, the second definition is most appropriate, although the first may apply as well. Perhaps the "to" in "hail to the king" is confusing you though -- hail can also serve as a noun denoting the act of hailing, so there's an implicit imperative here: "give your hail to the king." |

Seattle waterfront merchants 'livid' over seawall construction plan
Plans for building Seattle's waterfront seawall call for a construction shutdown from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year to protect the peak summer tourist season for visitors and waterfront businesses, but business owners say that's not enough.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Open House on Seawall
An open house on the Elliott Bay Seawall Project Draft Environmental Review will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center's Maritime Events Center, 2211 Alaskan Way. Short public presentations will be at 5:15 and 6:15. The city will be taking comments.For more information: www.seattle.gov/transportation/seawall.
Plans for building Seattle's waterfront seawall — overwhelmingly approved by voters last week — call for seven years of construction, with a shutdown from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year to protect the peak summer tourist season for visitors and waterfront businesses.
Alaskan Way's four lanes will narrow to two, pedestrian access could be blocked as the work progresses along the waterfront, and the area will be noisy and dusty as the city undertakes what leaders say is the most intensive and complex such project in its history.
Knowing that, some business owners are complaining that a three-month construction shutdown isn't adequate. They want work on the seawall to be stopped through September, which they say is just as busy as June.
And they say the city has told them over the past few years that a four-month shutdown would be honored as work on the Elliott Bay seawall gets under way next fall.
"Waterfront businesses are livid," said Bob Donegan, president of Ivar's, whose flagship restaurant is at Pier 54 on the downtown waterfront.
"The weather is still good in September, the cruise ships are still sailing. The Mariners, the Huskies, Sounders and Seahawks are all playing. It's a busy month for us," Donegan said.
He said that based on data from the past two years, waterfront businesses do about 54 percent of their annual sales between June and September, with some doing as much as 80 percent in that period.
City officials say they're trying to balance the costs to the public of extending the construction project beyond the scheduled seven years with maintaining a vibrant and viable waterfront economy.
The city has a tight timeline for completing the seawall. Phase One, from South Washington Street to Virginia Street, must be finished by 2016, in time for the planned removal of the viaduct and the replacement of Alaskan Way. A tunnel will replace the viaduct.
"We have significant deadlines that are really not flexible," said City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen, chairman of the Transportation Committee. "We're trying to strike a balance between meeting the needs of businesses and getting the project done."
In addition to the summer construction stoppage, the city also faces state and federal restrictions to protect migrating salmon. Work can't be done in the water between Feb. 15 and Aug. 1.
"We have seven species that are threatened or endangered. We're already facing limitations about when we can schedule work," said Jennifer Wieland, seawall project manager for the Seattle Department of Transportation.
Wieland said the city is willing to talk with waterfront businesses about extending the summer shutdown for another month, but is currently committed only to June through August.
Kevin Clark, president and CEO of Argosy Cruises, said September and October account for 20 percent of his company's annual income and that Argosy loses money January through April, when few people want to be on the water.
"We've been emphatic that the city needs to push the work out until after September. Their assumption is that after Labor Day, the waterfront goes dark," Clark said.
Voters approved a $290 million, 30-year bond measure to rebuild the seawall in the Nov. 6 general election with 77 percent of the vote.
The city Tuesday released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement on the entire seawall project. Waterfront businesses were briefed on the draft last week.
The draft environmental review specifies a shutdown from Memorial Day through Labor Day and notes that disruptions to transportation and business during construction will be substantial. Wieland said mitigation measures will be detailed in the final report in March.
Donegan, of Ivar's, said the city doesn't have flexibility in scheduling now because of delays in planning the project over the past few years.
He said the city changed design contractors, changed city staff on the project and chose to pursue funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, rather than going forward with what the city could finance itself.
"They want the biggest supporters of the project to now pay for their delays. That's not what they promised us. That's not what we agreed to," Donegan said.
The city says it has worked steadily on planning the project since 2010, when Mayor Mike McGinn identified the seawall as a critical piece of infrastructure that wasn't built to modern seismic standards and needed replacing.
Preliminary design work wasn't completed until March. Until then, Wieland said, the City Council believed it didn't have enough certainty about the project and design costs to place a bond measure before voters.
"The suggestion that changing design teams and working with the Army Corps has led to years of schedule delays is not accurate," she said.
The city is still hoping for federal funding for Phase 2 of the project, which will extend north to Broad Street.
City Council President Sally Clark said the city's goal is to complete the seawall as quickly as possible without damaging either salmon or waterfront businesses.
"Maybe we can trade June for September, but can we talk about extending the length of time we're down there without increasing the costs? I don't think it's possible to do this project without impacts," she said.

A high-quality systematic review is designed to be the most reliable source of evidence to guide clinical practice. The purpose of a systematic review is to deliver a detailed summary of all the available primary research in response to a well constructed, specific research question.
Systematic reviews use existing research and are sometimes called 'secondary research' (research based on research). Today, systematic reviews are often required by funding agencies and institutions to establish a baseline of existing knowledge and are frequently used in healthcare guideline development.
In nursing, researchers may be interested in questions of systematic reviews about the effectiveness of interventions on patient outcomes. These types of reviews synthesize quantitative research via a meta-analysis (a statistical pooling of data extracted from primary research) or if meta-analysis is not possible, a narrative and tabular synthesis of extracted data. When meta-analysis is possible, the research can determine confidence intervals and judge the precision of the pooled result. In addition, the statistical procedures (eg odds ratios, weighted mean differences) weigh the contribution of individual studies so that low powered, imprecise studies contribute less to the bottom line than a high powered, precise study. Therefore, clinical decision-makers can have more confidence in the direction and magnitude of the findings because of the rigor and power of the pooled result.
In addition to the evidence about the effectiveness of interventions, nurses need to understand how patients experience their health, illness, symptoms and even the way that we deliver care. The richness of meaning of an experience cannot be extracted from a trial. Instead, qualitative evidence is more appropriate to address these kinds of questions. Systematic reviews of qualitative evidence synthesize narrative data by aggregating themes and findings from primary qualitative studies. These types of systematic reviews can help nurses understand patient values, preferences and experiences.
Systematic reviews are marked by transparency in methods and exhaustive approaches to searching. Therefore, the authors should identify the search strategy, sources (which should be many relevant databases and grey literature sources), key words and even the logic of the search. In addition, the authors should be very clear what types of studies they considered and what tools they used to judge the quality of the evidence. At least two researchers should have evaluated the studies for inclusion and verified the data extraction. If these elements of transparency are missing, it is difficult to judge the quality of the systematic review or if it is a systematic review at all.–Lisa Hopp PhD, RN
