An Apology
We would like to apologize to all of our fans, friends and supporters who attended our February 6th exhibition at Galleria Pavesi in Milano, Italy. The exhibition displayed was not the one we spent so much time, effort, resources and energy on.
We were upfront with Galleria Pavesi from the beginning about what our exhibition would entail. We were perfectly clear with the gallery that it would revolve around the illegal aspects of graffiti. The gallery stated that they were OK with this and agreed to our terms. Upon the gallery's request we even signed a "contract" stating that we would be renting the gallery, so that if there was any legal blowback, it would fall on us, not them. However, after numerous visits from various jurisdictions of police in the days prior to the opening, the gallery became nervous about the legalities of showing our exhibition, which includes photo and video installations of illegal graffiti acts. Instead of being honest with us about this, they chose instead to censor our artwork without our knowledge or consent.
Over 60% of the show we had planned was not displayed. No one contacted us about these changes, despite having ample time and opportunity to do so. We were not able to be in Milano at the time of the show, (we informed the gallery of this months in advance), but made sure we were available to talk every day for the month leading up to the show. Leading up to the show, we emailed the gallery numerous times to discuss the details of how things were to be displayed and to make sure that everything was going according to plan. We were constantly assured that all was fine, when clearly it wasn't.
What was displayed was done so extremely out of context. The artwork hung on the walls loses its significance without the corresponding video and photos. There is no context for the viewer to put them in .The gallery's actions took all of the meaning, message and vitality out of our artwork and exhibition.
As many of you reading this know, we have each spent a year in jail for our art and our principles. We are not ones to back down from controversy or bend to the popular demand. We have worked hard our entire careers of writing graffiti (and our entire lives in general) to never compromise ourselves or our artistic visions. We feel that by censoring us and doing so behind our backs, Galleria Pavesi has embarrassed us, insulted our art and greatly compromised our vision and everything we stand for. We were deceived, and in turn so was everyone who attended the show, which to us is something unforgivable.
We are ashamed at how this exhibition was executed and are disappointed beyond what words can express. We made it very clear to the gallery that we would rather have the police confiscate all of our artwork and press criminal charges against us than to be censored and not exhibit the show as we wanted and planned. We rarely show artwork, and when we do so it isn't primarily for monitory gain but rather to showcase something that we worked hard to create, something that we feel is special and worthwhile. Something that we feel others will enjoy and think is worthwhile too. We feel that Galleria Pavesi robbed us of the chance to do this. Instead of keeping their promises, our name and notoriety were merely used to hype up the gallery. The quality and message of our exhibition was not at all a priority or concern of the gallery.
Though we have received many accolades and much interest from various collectors, museums and art institutions regarding the show, none of this matters to us as we do not feel that the show that was displayed represents us accurately. We have requested that the gallery take down our portion of the exhibition, and they have agreed. We are currently in talks with various galleries in France, Germany and Italy to reshow this exhibition as it was intended to be shown the first time, alongside newer material we have been working on.
We will post the details of the next exhibition when we decide on a location and iron out the details. We intend to give out 100 free zines at this next exhibition as a token of our sincerest apologies for the unprofessional manner in which our artwork was displayed.
Grime Time!

What You Need to Know about the Willits Wastewater Treatment Plant Dispute
Updated November 2014
The Brooktrails Township is a California public agency committed to honoring its contracts with others and complying with the Constitutions and laws of the United States and the State of California. The Brooktrails Township expects others, particularly other public agencies, to share that commitment. By doing so, we all avoid the costs and stress associated with court proceedings.
Since 1997 the Brooktrails Township has been asking - and then insisting - that the City of Willits honor a contract providing for the allocation of operating costs for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since 2005 the Brooktrails Township has been asking - and then insisting - that the City of Willits honor a contract providing for the allocation of construction costs for the new Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since 2013 the Brooktrails Township has been asking that the City of Willits new Wastewater Treatment Plant be brought into compliance with federal and state laws in order to avoid polluting the groundwater and surface waters of the Little Lake Valley. Thirteen years after the dispute started in 1997, Brooktrails filed a lawsuit seeking declaratory relief from the failure of the City of Willits to honor the contract. The contract compliance issues involve millions of dollars. Those millions of dollars represent per customer sewer service charges totaling at least $24.50 per month continuing for decades as follows:
Acceptance of the policies establishing these long-term costs also would determine how future wastewater treatment plant repair and capital improvement costs would be distributed to Brooktrails ratepayers.
The dispute is complex but others have tried to succinctly summarize it. The Local Agency Formation Commission of Mendocino County in its November 2014 Public Review Draft of the City of Willits Municipal Service Review states:
"On September 11, 1967 the City of Willits (City) and the Brooktrails Resort Improvement District – now the Brooktrails Township Community Services District (District) entered into an agreement allowing the District to dispose of up to 0.49 mgd ADWF of sewage into the City WWTF. "The Agreement has been amended over the years: Amendment No. 2 in 1975 (which also repealed Amendment No. 1); Amendment No. 3 in 1982; and Amendment No. 3 in 2007. In 1997, a dispute arose between the District and the City regarding the allocation of operating costs for the WWTF. This dispute, along with several other issues has been ongoing for the past 17-years. In 2010, the District filed a lawsuit in Mendocino County Superior Court seeking declaratory relief regarding a number of issues, including metering to measure the flow of sewage, accounting methods and allocation of operating costs, annual audits, WWTF construction costs and plant capacity, and disposal of treated effluent. "The degree of time and energy devoted to this situation is best reflected in the respective meeting agendas of the City and the District, as at practically every regular and special meeting there is a closed session on this litigation. There does not appear to be any resolution of these issues in the foreseeable future. As the District said in a report to its ratepayers in June 2014: 'Township officials in 1997 did not believe litigation was the best option for the region. As it turns out, it has been made clear after 17 years that the only way all four components of the dispute can be resolved is through an 'independent adjudicator, be it judge, jury or arbitrator,' as the [then] City Attorney threatened in 1997.'"
In October, this was written in the Anderson Valley Advertiser:
"THE DISPUTE BEGAN WITH accounting questions back in 1997 and culminated in a lawsuit in 2010 after Brooktrails was unable to get the City of Willits to comply with the with the terms of their agreements. The main focus of the dispute now is that Willits expects Brooktrails to pay for treatment capacity at the new plant that is needed to treat sewage from Willits. Brooktrails is willing to give up treatment capacity that it is entitled to, but only if Willits will agree to pro-rate the treatment plant construction costs based on the flow that each party contributes to the plant. Willits is supposed to meter the flow but the meter quit working in 2002 and Willits never replaced it with a meter capable of accurately measuring the amount of flow that each party contribute."
A Full Explanation of the Dispute is AvailableAs always, the Brooktrails Township provides an updated full explanation of the dispute on line with extensive supporting documentation. Use the link below to be fully informed.
A complete explanation of the Brooktrails viewpoint as of November 2014 is available here
Summary of Recent Dispute-Related Occurrences
Three recent occurrences seem to be related. At its August 5, 2014 meeting the Brooktrails Township Board of Directors adopted a resolution expressing a concern that a large volume of partially treated sewage from the Willits sewage treatment plant is percolating directly into the groundwater in the Little Lake Valley. About 20% of this sewage is from Brooktrails homes and businesses. The concern is the potential impact on our neighbors in the Little Lake Valley who depend upon wells for their water. Brooktrails had raised the issue in April 2013 based upon anecdotal reports and subsequent data gathered by a local state-licensed engineering/hydrogeology business showing that in excess of 100,000,000 million gallons per year of sewage entered the sewage treatment plant but seemed to disappear in the ponds associated with the plant, probably percolating into the groundwater. You can read more about this problem and the Brooktrails effort to get it corrected here
The second related recent occurrence was the receipt of a September 17, 2014, letter from the Willits Mayor to the Brooktrails Board President insinuating that the local engineering/hydrogeology business mentioned above at the behest of Brooktrails officials engaged in "a planned mission, attempting to lay a trap with the hope that City staff would violate its permit and accept diesel fuel mischaracterized as septage." It was, of course, not true. The letter was written less than eight weeks before the upcoming election. The Willits-area engineering/hydrogeology business which has an unsullied reputation is providing professional engineering services to many local private clients. The City had not made the letter public. Brooktrails did not respond. Unfortunately, the City Manager at the October 28, 2014, Brooktrails Board of Director's meeting insisted the letter be made public and that the Brooktrails Board President respond. You can download the letter exchange as well as a review of the incident by another engineer (it is a large PDF file with functional links to state websites). As noted in Board President William's letter to Mayor Madrigal: "The Brooktrails Board is choosing to not take offense at the accusations in your final paragraph in the spirit of needed regional unity." The third seemingly related occurrence was the presentation of an Agenda Summary Report, Item No. 9e (1) for the November 12, 2014 Willits City Council meeting. In it November 14, 2014, edition The Willits News offered this report:
"Adding fuel to the already hot conflict between Willits and Brooktrails, was Willits confirmation at the Nov. 12 council meeting that its flow meter measuring the total flow of sewage into the new plant was built wrong. "Brooktrails advised the city in July 2013 it considered the new meter to be inaccurate. The city took no action. In October 2013 Brooktrails had its contractor inspect the meter. "In April 2014, Brooktrails provided the city with copies of the inspection showing the meter had a number of installation flaws, according to [City Attorney James] Lance. "The city took no action. "In July 2014, after the city sent Brooktrails a bill for payment (based on the faulty meter) Brooktrails requested a copy of the calibration records for the meter in question. Willits contacted a meter calibration firm which advised the city there were problems it had found in October 2013. The firm, MCC Control Systems, confirmed the problem areas in August 2014. One problem, a programming error, was corrected in September 2014. The other involving the improper installation of the meter, was not discovered during the original installation by Speiss Construction Company in 2009. "Lance suggested the city contact Speiss to have the problem corrected. "Until the installation error is corrected the city expects to use the meter leaving the plant to determine flow rates through the plant."
The Agenda Report and City staff have asked for a response from Brooktrails. The Brooktrails General Manager sent a letter to the City Manager pointing out that both the sewer plant's permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Agreement between the City and Brooktrails require a correctly functioning meter measuring the sewage influent as it enters plant, as well as any meter measuring the effluent as it leaves the plant. That meter combination allows federal and state regulators to determine wastewater losses from the various storage ponds. In the General Manager's letter it was noted Brooktrails will be providing engineering recommendations regarding the metering of influent.
A fourth recent occurrence which was mentioned in our website June 2014 Report was the filing on November 10, 2014, of a new cause of action by Brooktrails related to the above mentioned taking of Brooktrails purchased exclusive wastewater treatment plant capacity. Simply, contrary to the project's Environmental Impact Report the new sewage treatment plant was designed with less capacity than the old plant leaving insufficient capacity for City customers after deducting the Brooktrails-owned exclusive capacity. Brooktrails pointed this problem out to the City in the Spring of 2013 but was reluctant to file the action in court because if successful it would impose a moratorium on new sewer connections in the City. However, because of the new water connection moratorium ordered by the State (see below), the effect on the City would be minimal particularly since Brooktrails has suggested the new matter be combined with the existing lawsuit so that legal expenses would be reduced. And the City could address both the water supply and sewage treatment capacity issues within the same time period.

I can only tell you the sealer I use - Tile Lab glossy from Home Depot. I like the glossy look of the grout. I brush it all over the subject, and don't worry about wiping it off the tess. Posting a picture - if you want the picture within the text of your message, and if you are in Photobucket, look under your image and copy the HTML code, then at the end of your message, paste the URL/code into the message. If you want just the link in your message, look at the codes before and after your URL, and copy those codes before/after your URL.

Vettel Edges Webber As Teammates Clash
In an explosive and quite extraordinary Malaysian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel brazenly disobeyed team orders to win the race from his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber. The Australian had led after the final round of pit stops and the drivers were instructed to hold position until the end of the race, but Vettel passed Webber after the tensest of tussles with 13 laps remaining. Within Red Bull, the fallout from the duel was acrimonious and immediate.
"I want to say sorry to Mark," the German told reporters, having been rebuked by team boss Christian Horner on the radio as they dueled on the track. "This is silly Seb, come on," Horner warned.
Lewis Hamilton scored his first podium finish for Mercedes, coming home third, while the Mercedes teammates had their own contretemps over team orders, with Nico Rosberg pleading to be set free to try and chase down the two Red Bulls. Ross Brawn vetoed that idea in order to save tires and bring the cars home, leading Hamilton to say that "If I'm honest, I feel Nico should be standing here. He had better pace throughout the race." Lewis added "Hats off to Nico, he was the driver of the day for me."

Riffs: Best show flyer of the year?
By David Malitz
Wednesday night's Ty Segall show at DC9 was one of the best I've seen in a while. Garage rock on overdrive, overflowing with hooks for 45 minutes. (Could have done without the "Gloria" encore, though.) I didn't buy any merch but I did walk out with a nice little trinket -- the flyer above.
Show promotion these days has gotten to the point where a Facebook invite often serves as the only way to get the word out about an upcoming gig. Maybe a few photocopied flyers left at some local clubs, some posters around town, those multi-color postcards left on your windshield whenever you park around U Street. But local garage duo Thee Lolitas took the time to individually draw and write each of the flyers they handed out. Now that's commitment. I was already planning on attending Sunday's matinee at Quarry House in Silver Spring with fellow high-octane rockers Pujol and The Moonhearts, but this really cemented my attendance. If Thee Lolitas put half as much care into their songs as they do their flyers, they'll be well worth catching.

There are so many mixed opinions on which way Disney is going here. I'm not sure Disney even has it all cast into stone yet. There are just too many variables to consider.
The first one put out there is the park hours are not really going to be cut more the park hours for everyone are to be extended by an hour. So ya, cutting EMH's by an hour but still the same length. What is going on now is Disney is extending every guests hours and then still have in place the additional 3 hours. By cutting the EMH they will still be closing around the same time that they use to. Disney is expecting at the MK to have longer hours for the opening of FLE late this year to accomodate guests.
Holding off until January when parks are slower is likely the best time to give it a try.
The second theory I've seen is the XPass. By having the perk for Resort guests preplanning their entire trip before outside guests, the need to lure more guests to stay on property with EMH might not be necessary anymore. Lets face it, there are some nicer deluxe resorts for far less money offsight and the dining options off sight are better values. EMHs is a draw to the resorts. Yet if Disney replaces their FP with the XPass for resort guests what do they really need EMH's for? EMH's are rough on the CM's, those are long hours for their full time CM's and more often than not it is the Full timers that are extended except during the busiest of times.
I too have done AK during the night. It is pretty. Beyond that not much is open during those evening hours. There is a low number of attractions in AK to start with and to support night EMH's there it is like welcome to very little. Disney is currently experimenting with night vision wear to open up that end of the park at night. They need to figure out how disruptive this will be to the animals during the night hours so I understand the need to test this out before making a commitment on this.

Of the 30,000 species of bees that exist worldwide, 400 of them can be found in Missouri. Bees contribute $14 billion to the value of U.S. crop production. Three quarters of all flowering plants require pollinators, such as bees, to reproduce. In their six week lifespan, one bee produces just 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. It takes 60,000 bees to produce one pound of honey. And bees have been experiencing a mysterious rash of disappearances over the last decade.

Sound Test
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
Noise levels on the GHz Edition of the HD 7970 are pretty similar; you can see the reference cooled Diamond card come in at 59.3dB / 62.9dB while this card comes in at 60.8dB / 63.5dB.
So while we've got a couple of extra degrees present on the new GHz Edition card, we can see that we have no real change in noise levels.

How to get around in Rome
If you are a tourist and you are coming to Rome for the first time, some prior knowledge of Rome Public Transport System can not only help you in getting around easily but can also save you a lot of time and money while you are on vacation in Rome. Find out how you can travel and visit the various attractions, sightseeing and museums in Rome.
Rome historic center is not particularly large and since most of the monuments lie in this area, you can visit the main attractions like Colosseum and Piazza di Spagna on foot. You can choose from a variety of walking tours and hop on/hop off tours to visit the historic areas and attractions in Rome. You can also take public transport to visit all the places in central Rome and Vatican City.
Rome public transport is extensive and often a good value for tourists. Apart from point-to-point tickets, there are 1-day/3-days/week pass to cover all of Rome by bus, tram and metro. The tickets should be purchased in advance from tobacco shops, newsstands, bars, or vending machines (accept exact change only!) at metro and major bus stops.
There are numerous ways to get around in Rome, each of which offers its own unique set of benefits and potential drawbacks. Your options are quite varied and range from using public transit such as buses and the metro to taxis, cars, bicycles, and of course, walking. One of the best pieces of advice for anyone choosing to visit Rome is to book accommodations in or very near the historical center of the city, as this offers easy pedestrian access to most of the city's biggest attractions and puts you in a central location to see all that Rome has to offer.

Principal chamber music genre of the Baroque era. Despite its name, it requires four performers: two melody instruments and continuo (usually a keyboard instrument and a bass instrument). It arose early in the 17th century as an instrumental version of the Italian vocal-duet ensemble. The two upper instruments, usually violins, generally wove their melodic, quasi-vocal lines high above the accompanying parts. Two standard forms emerged after 1750: the sonata da chiesa, or church sonata, standardized as a four-movement form (in slow-fast-slow-fast order); and the suite-like sonata da camera, or chamber sonata. By 1770 the genre had been abandoned in favour of the solo sonata.
Learn more about trio sonata with a free trial on Britannica.com.
A trio sonata is written for two solo melodic instruments and basso continuo, making three parts in all, hence the name trio sonata. However, because the basso continuo is usually made up of at least two instruments (typically a cello or bass viol and a keyboard instrument such as the harpsichord), trio sonatas are typically performed by at least four musicians. The trio sonatas by Arcangelo Corelli (opus I, 1681, opus III, 1689) set an inspiring example.
The melody instruments used are usually both violins. A well-known exception is the trio sonata in Johann Sebastian Bach's The Musical Offering, which is for violin and flute.
Johann Sebastian Bach's trio sonatas for organ (BWV 525-530) combine all three parts on one instrument. Typically the right hand, left hand and pedals will each take a different part thus creating the same texture as in a trio. For obvious reasons, these six trios have been transcribed for four musicians in recent times. A further innovation of Bach was the creation of what are strictly trio sonatas, involving a concertante (obligato) harpsichord part and one melodic instrument, thus for two players. Known examples are the six sonatas for harpsichord and solo violin (BWV 1014-1019), three sonatas for harpsichord and viola da gamba (BWV 1027-1029) and the three sonatas for harpsichord and flauto traverso (BWV 1030-1032)

Rapids, IA 08/16/2013)— With just one week to go in the Hy-Vee/ I-Wireless
Championship Series chase for 2013 victory lane was visited by familiar faces who also happen to riding the top of the point standings.
In Barron Motor Supply Hobby Stocks,
Matt Petrzelka posted a green to checkers run to grab
his eleventh win of the season. The race was \slowed by two cautions but Petrzelka pulled away from the pack on each restart to
secure the win. The best battle on the track was a mother-son race between Kandi and Jacob Floyd. Jaconb prevailed
for second with Kandi finishing third.
Dave McCalla
held off a lap three challenge from Jim Hanson as he
racked up his ninth win of 2013. McCalla split Hanson
and Dave Ballstaedt as the trio headed into turn two while running
three wide on the first lap and once McCalla took the
lead he wasn't giving it up. He and Hanson pulled away from the pack and after
Hanson's lap three challenge was thwarted McCalla
widened his margin over the second place car of Hanson.
Last week's winner, Ben Glascock,
slipped around Dave Ballsteadt to take the third spot
on lap nine but couldn't gain much ground on the leaders as the final laps
ticked off. Hanson settled for second and Glascock was third.
The Dublin
City Pub INEX Legends feature was the most exciting of the night with three and
four-wide racing coupled with just enough "give and take" to avoid any serious
crashes. Dennis Diercks led almost the entire first
half of the race holding off Caleb Adrian, Austin Kunert,
Tim Goettsch and Kyle Diercks.
However, Diercks may have been using up his tires
holding off the hard chargers behind and on lap thirteen he lost the handle and
spun, putting Caleb Adrian into the lead.
Adrian held the lead until lap 21
when Tim Goettsch rallied a charge for the lead.
Adrian stayed in second while holding off a late-race challenge from Kevin
Korsmo. Austin Kunert crossed the stripe in fourth
and Bryuce Bailey was fifth.
The Miller Time Modified feature saw Tim Plummer wrestle the
lead from Ryan Luedtke on lap seven and motor to his
12th win of the season. Plummer continued to stretch his lead as the
laps ticked off and he crossed the stripe a dozen car lengths ahead of Luedttke Luedtke held
off Mike Schulte to finish second.
Earlier in the evening during their heat race, Brian Gibson
and Craig Bender tangled in turn 4, badly damaging both cars and knocking them
out of contention for the rest of the night.
The Sunline Hornets feature saw
Kurt Bohnsack take the lead from Steve Woodrow on lap
two and cruise to an easy victory. Woodrow maintained second and held off Brad
Schmidt to finish second. Schmidt finished third and was followed to the stripe
by Jose DeJesus and CJ Van Horn.
win was the seventh of the season.
Jay Jaspers did everything he could
to hold off Tim Plummer in the Carpetland USA Late
Models feature but eventually used up his tires and Plummer prevailed for his fifth
win of the season. Plummer challenged for the lead briefly on lap three and
again on lap fourteen but didn't rally the winning pass until just five laps
remained in the thirty-lap feature. The pair made slight contact in turn two
with six laps to go as Jaspers was fighting the handling on his car and that
was the opening Plummer needed to take control.
Thor Anderson slipped around Jaspers
with a couple laps to go securing the second spot. Jaspers finished third, Andy
Edwards was fourth, and Chad Siems was fifth.

Emergency Road Closures
No entries found for this date.
Entry Date | Reporting Agency |
Unit ID | Description |
Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other severe weather related hazard. The main reason is people underestimate the force and power of water. More than half of all flood related deaths result from vehicles being swept downstream. Of these, many are preventable.
Most cars will float (and be swept away) in 18-24 inches of moving water. Trucks and SUVs are not much better with only 6-12 more inches of clearance. Creeks and rivers can rise very rapidly and the road bottom can also wash away making the water much deeper than it appears.
Once cars are swept downstream they will often roll to one side or perhaps flip over entirely. The driver has a few precious seconds to escape the vehicle. In fact, many drivers panic as soon as the vehicle submerges and are found later with their seat belt intact.
Sedgwick County Emergency Management strongly discourages motorist from driving into flooded roadways. Whether a water covered road is closed with barricades or not, Turn Around, Don't Drown!

Dear Trader,
I would like to personally invite you to spend 20 hours with me as I teach you how to apply all the necessary tools and strategies you need to succeed at the highest level of professional trading.
You'll find all of this in my new trading course, Trading With The Generals 2004, presented for the first time on high-resolution CD-ROMs and my 777-page Trading Strategy Manual with over 350 clear and detailed charts, tables, diagrams and interactive exercises. Recently, I presented this course live to a small group of serious and dedicated traders. Now, you can possess all of this knowledge in a clear, convenient and easy-to-use format that you can learn from and review over and over again for the rest of your life. My goal is that when you complete my 20-hour course will have the techniques, strategies and technology to make high-probability trading decisions with reduced risk exposure every day.
I will teach you how to combine my primary strategies with advanced tools that will give you an edge that few traders possess. And while the trading examples I take you through will be for today's markets, the methods you learn will prepare you to trade any kind of market or product.
This course will be your opportunity to learn in-depth how I use these advanced tools to potentially find higher-probability trades using strategies such as RSTs, 1-2-3s, Trap Doors, Gap Pullbacks, Slim Jims, Flip Tops, Gap Reversals, Roofers and much more.
Throughout my 20-hour course, I will drill you on hundreds of real-world examples to help you improve your trading, walking you each step of the way through all the rules of my trading strategies and tactics.
To experience this very intense and hands-on trading course click here, or call 888-484-8220, ext. 1 today.
If you would like to see the course outline, you may view it below.
I am looking forward to this opportunity to teach and train you!
P.S. I am available to help you further master the material long after you complete my course. You may email me at any time to assure that you fully understand and are maximizing the effectiveness of my strategies.
Click here to order now. Or read on to learn more....
The Goal
My goal is for you to reach the highest level of success as a trader by teaching you how to apply the knowledge I have accumulated as the head of trading for Fidelity Capital Markets and from my 30 years of professional trading experience.
The course is divided into eight segments. Each is critical to your long-term success as a trader. The knowledge, strategies and tactics that I teach you during our three days together is designed to help you master each of these critical areas and apply it immediately to your own trading.
I. The Generals: Learn How to Recognize and Trade With Them
Who are the Generals and why are they important to you as a trader?
The Generals are large mutual funds, major money managers, and broker/dealers. They are important to you because they are the ones who move the markets.
I will show you how to gain an edge in your trading by teaching you the specific behaviors the Generals repeat over and over again as they react to information flow.
The best part of this is that you and I can monitor this very same information each day. You will learn how the Generals think and operate so that you will be better equipped to know what to buy, when to it buy it and how to trade it.
You will also learn how the Generals, hedge funds, market makers and specialists all interact with the order flow on a daily basis including the retail emotional flow.
Having this knowledge enables to you to trade on the same side as the Generals and professionals as they move the market, instead of getting whipsawed along with the weak hands.
This knowledge, together with the strategies and advanced tools I teach you, will enable you to trade both sides of the market in any environment. It matters little whether you are trading during bull or bear markets.
II. My Core Framework
To be a successful trader over time, you must have a solid framework of how the markets react, and their underlying price relationships. Once you have this, you can develop trading/investing styles that emanate from that structure.
I will teach you my Core Framework in my course. It is a powerful, simple, easy-to-understand approach to the market that identifies high-probability trading/investing opportunities with positive mathematical expectations, excellent risk/reward and minimum capital exposure.
And here is the key point: There is nothing subjective about this Core Framework. It is based on market facts and relationships that are proven over decades of market action and my own observations of their primacy.
All traders are constantly influenced by news and price surprises, so in this volatile market environment, having a Core Framework is most important to long-term success.
This framework is applicable to all major markets and timeframes, regardless of whether you trade futures, stocks, bonds, FOREX or longer-term mutual funds.
It is the best way to develop enough conviction and confidence to pull the trigger on the high-probability trades that you will generate from my sequence method of trading.
III. Trading within the Framework: Sequence Trading
My method of trading within the core framework is called "Sequence Trading." It is a much less stressful approach to trading/investing, which enables you to make decisions without the emotional barriers that hinder most traders.
In this course, you will learn how Sequence Trading combines volatility, price and time with some powerful and explosive strategies to identify highly probable trend reversal and continuation zones, This is in addition to support and resistance trading opportunities.
The Sequence Tools that you will learn enable you to anticipate levels of opportunity in advance and not rely on lagging indicators that confirm trends after the fact. It is a disciplined, lower-risk and profitable method of achieving success in the markets, especially when combined with my best strategies.
The strategies included in the course are based on how the markets trade and also how the Generals -- hedge funds, specialists and OTC market makers -- influence the "game."
IV. Primary Strategies Plus Advanced Tools
Once you fully understand how the Generals move the markets, I will teach you the best strategies to use on a daily basis in order to trade in sync with the flow of their money in and out of the markets.
Whether the market is basing, advancing, topping out or declining, you will have an optimal strategy to apply. Plus, I will teach you how to use the advanced tools that I use in order to improve the probability of each trade as well as other tactics that I have not taught in previous courses.
You will learn:
V. Selection of Daily Stock and Index Trading Setups
What is the best way to ensure your success in applying the strategies I teach you during my course? The answer is...consistent planning and preparation--every day, no exceptions.
In this portion of my 20-hour course, I will show you how my preparation ritual plays out each day after the market closes.
You will learn how to combine my proprietary screens with the TradingMarkets Stock Scanner to quickly and efficiently identify stocks that are exhibiting buying or selling pressure. As you find these stocks, you will just add them one-by-one to your hit list for the next day's trading.
And once you have your full list of stocks in hand, I will walk you through the step-by-step process of analyzing their charts in order to find the trades that have the highest potential for success if they are triggered the next day by a continuation of buying or selling pressure.
VI. Risk Control and Money Management
VII. Interactive Case Studies: Learning to Apply Your Knowledge to the Real World
Finally, to ensure that you are able to successfully apply every strategy and technique that I teach you, I will test your comprehension by applying, practicing and drilling your newfound knowledge at recognizing and selecting trades.
I will give you numerous real-world chart examples to work from and analyze. Going through one chart at a time, we will take time out to analyze the patterns and identify trading setups and the proper course of action as the patterns may dictate.
After we examine the charts, I will explain how I arrive at my conclusions in order to ensure that you completely understand why I take action in the way that I do.
At the end of this course, you will have in your possession nearly 350 examples of all the patterns which you can then utilize in your trading.
VIII. Q & A Session
The cost for my course is $1,750. This includes my 700+-page Strategy Manual containing over 350 clear and detailed charts, tables and diagrams. These visual training tools are among the highest quality that I have ever made available and you will have unlimited access to this knowledge for years to come.
Click here to order today! Or call toll-free at 888-484-8220, ext. 1, and you will be one of a small handful of traders who will spend 20 hours learning directly from me!
P.S. I am available to help you further master the material. After completing my course, you can email me at any time to assure that you fully understand and are maximizing the effectiveness of my strategies. Call 888-484-8220, ext. 1, or click below to purchase your copy of my course today.

Hoping unconfirmed remains unconfirmed...
Can you design a better lifejacket? .
Let's hope the unconfirmed reports of the three British sailors kidnapped by Somali pirates remains just that – unconfirmed. They were, however, sailing in much the same waters as the Chandlers were when they were kidnapped just over a year ago, and a long way from either the official transit zone or the Yemeni coast.
Yemen, who used to produce its share of fishermen-turned-opportunistic-pirates, these days is a full member of the unofficial club of countries trying to curb piracy. Read what it's costing them.
Two opportunities this week – if you have an iPhone or other brand of smartphone, Passage Weather is looking for those willing to beta test their new app; and if you think you could design a better life jacket, you could win US$5,000, and the competition, run by BoatUS, is open to all nationalities.
One can only imagine Tony Bullimore won't be too happy that his crew capsized the Spirit of Antigua when he wasn't onboard. They weren't even racing, but obviously enjoying the ride. 'We were sailing fast and close to the wind. We then had a big gust, and because it's a multi-hull, the apparent wind induces a much worse effect.'....well, gosh, it was a multi-hull all the time and they hadn't noticed.
Lots of other news both close to home and away – a product of the week to look after the quality of your fuel, and some misadventures. As a cruising sailor, the useful purpose in reading these stories for me is: How can I make sure that this doesn't happen to me? They were easy this week – check your rigging and don't let it get too old, and, the simplest of all, take an EPIRB with you when you sail. Find the stories that match.
Much more too, so browse down the headlines to find what catches your interest.
Sail safe and, as winter approaches for most readers, keep warm!

Have any of you used these paints? If so, is there something you could offer to help when painting on tin or glass with these? Punk |

That turned out so pretty, Punk, love the pink and black together. I've not tried those paints so no tips to offer. Did they give you any problems? Sure doesn't show on your project if they did! ;o) Luvs |

Punk, this turned out so pretty. It doesn't look as if you had any problems with it. Did it feel different than regular acrylic? Really good job, love the leaves. |
Luvs and Bebe, glad you like this project. Did it feel different. Oh boy, this paint is a gloss so you can't blend like you do with acrylics. I found it very hard to paint on and look good. The nice thing about the paint is you don't have to varnish when your done painting. I will spray a light coat of clear and call it good. Punk |
Very nice! I always love painting on a black background, it really makes the design 'pop'! I've never used the newer Plaid indoor/outdoor paints but I do have some. I have so many other outdoor paints...enamels, Durable Colors, Patio Paint, and usually choose the set of paints for a project that has the most colors I'm interested in using. |
Beautiful project. I have used the plaid outdoor paints. I did not like them much. Would rather prime, paint with acrylic, then varnish. The Final Coat wipe on varnish is easy and gives a beautiful finish. I use a lot of enamel paint on glass, and it does not blend and float as well as acrylic. But necessary on glass for durability. I love the pink on black, just beautiful. Barbara |
Punk....great cake tin! I love the poppies! They look so light and fluffy! And against the black they are really super! I have use Plaid on glass and you can't blend or float, or atleast I never found a way, looks like you did. Thanks for sharing!!!! Belle |
KM, thanks and I have other paints that I need to try and see if I like them any better. Please share some of your projects you have used these paints on. Barbara, thanks for all your sweet comments. It's good to hear that you didn't care for the ways these paints go on. Please share some of your projects with us here. Belle, your such sweety. You think I figured it out.LOL I will try on glass next and share and see what you think. Punk |
grrrr! So sick of my posts disappearing! Punk~ I agree with Claudia....your poppies are so fluffy and the lacy edges are perfect. I think the black background really makes them pop. |

Hi, planted 200 crowns of Jersey Supreme.
Had hoped to get Jersey Knight since I have clay silt loam (not heavy clay, but a really thick loam). Trenches are 'loosely' covered with 3-4 inches of heavy loam (as loose as heavy clay silt loam can be!), and will be 6-7 inches deep when filled in. Any problems with Jersey Supreme in non-sandy soil? Does Jersey Knight really do better in soils with clay? Anyone add sand into the asparagus when filling? Extensions say not to get too wet, so I had not watered until now. Subsurface stayed moist but the surface got really hard so I started to water lightly. The asparagus has not come up after 9 days. Some are close, and some have only started budding. How long do they take to come up (cool/light frosts)? How much have others watered to help emergence? The area is on a slope, and I would rather not have drainage soak into just the sand and rot the crowns unless sand has helped others. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Be patient. A couple of crowns I moved last year are just coming to life, though the established plants are well on their way. Have you mulched the surface with something biodegradable? I think that will be much more useful than taking any other step. The roots will move up or down to find their most comfortable depth over a period of years, and it all works best with good top-down fertility that creates habitat for night crawlers and suppresses weeds. Asparagus is a great plant for a slope. Stop worrying, the drainage will take care of itself. |
Can anyone tell the difference in the different Jersey varieties? 4 years ago I planted 10 crowns of Jersey Knight, Jersey Supreme and Jersey Giant. I cannot tell much of a difference, though I haven't kept track of how many spears I have harvested from each plant, just looking down the row it looks about the same. I am thinking with just a few plants it won't make much difference, maybe if you had acres it would show a difference in volume. This year I wanted 20 more plants and the Garden Center I bought from only had Jersey Knight and Jersey Supreme so I bought 10 of each. I planted them March 20 and as of last night I can see 18 plants. I live in WI and it was 80 when I planted them but now we are much more normal with getting frosts almost every night. |
Thanks Planatus- no mulch yet (trenches only part filled). What works well for asparagus? Wood chips? Thanks Buckyz4 - will be patient. Had read emergence in a week through 6 inches, but that must be an over-generalization and too short a time. Did you fill in the trenches all the way at planting? |
Right now I'm throwing grass clippings on my asparagus, but that supply will soon run short and I'll switch to a mixture of weathered sawdust and wood chips. My garden soil "eats" a lot of wood and has a good appetite for the stuff. |
- Posted by egganddart49 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 12 at 0:46
I planted 40 Jersey Knight crowns in clay soil last May; it was cold and wet until June. I read conflicting information about planting in clay soil, whether to amend it, what depth to dig the trenches. So I loosened the soil about a foot deep, forked the subsoil a little and replaced the original soil mixed with compost and a few natural amendments to within 6" from the top. Planted the crowns, covered them with a couple of inches of soil and compost. It took about a month for all the spears to come up. Of 40 planted, about 38 came up. So far only about half have come up this spring, but I expect most if not all to emerge. They look pretty healthy. |

I want to dry my Rose of Sharon flowers but I'm not sure when or what part. Do I do it before they open? while open? or after they're done blooming? While they're open the pistil is all covered in pollen - seems like that would be weird to have in tea... Attached is a picture of what they are dropping after they bloom. I have searched for this info - most sites just say use flowers fresh but I want to dry them... It's different than for regular Hibiscus (this page is great if you're looking for that info: http://blog.cherylsdelights.com/2013/03/harvesting-hibiscus/ ) |

Follow-Up Postings:
You can use them when they are blooming or when they have just finished blooming. The buds are too strong. Best to use them fresh, because they lose a little flavor when they are dried, but just leave them in a warm, dry place with no insects to dry them. Putting them on a screen is best, covered with cheesecloths to keep insects out. You can only use the petals, and only if they have not been treated with pesticides or liquid fertilizers. |
thanks!! |

Wow, Kasima and Dzr4. I had no idea. What does Rose of Sharon tea taste like in your opinions? |
I haven't made it yet - will report back soon! |

Club awarded Swim 21 accreditation
Warriors of Warrington Swimming Club welcome in the new swimming season with the news that they have successfully obtained the nationally recognised Swim 21 accreditation in both Skills Development & Competitive Development.
Swim 21 is the ASA's Club Development model - a planning tool, based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development, enabling clubs to help athletes, coaches and volunteers to achieve their full potential. It focuses particularly on the needs of athletes - striving to provide them with the best possible support and environment.
Swim 21 Accreditation is a 'Quality Mark'. It recognises nationally and regionally the clubs that are committed to providing safe, effective and quality services for the benefit of their members. Swim 21 Accreditation is available to ASA clubs and positions the club at one or more of the four levels of:
- Teaching
- Skill Development
- Competitive Development
- Performance
The club has been working towards this accreditation for over 2 years and has been successful due to the high standard of Swimming in the town. It now completes a pathway for Long term Athlete Development for swimming in Warrington.
A big thank you to all our Coaches especially Darren & Swimmers who have made Swim 21 accreditation possible as it is through their achievements at County, Regional & National level this has been possible along with the help of all our volunteers who run this club.

"I didn't see this recipe, I saw the original recipe and made it. It was FANTASTIC! Some changes I made -- instead of butter I used olive oil. My family likes very spicy dishes, so I added cayenne to the cream mixture. I can't find garam masala, so I used curry powder instead. I added frozen peas in the final 5 minutes of simmering. Delicious..."

Update: Bahamas-Bound Hurricane Irene Triggers More Cruise Itinerary Changes
(Updated 7:40 a.m. EDT) -- Hurricane Irene, the ninth named storm and first hurricane of the 2011 Atlantic season, is steadily increasing in strength as it swirls toward the southeastern Bahamas. Weather conditions have forced Carnival and Royal Caribbean to alter itineraries for nearly a dozen cruise ships.
According to the National Hurricane Center's 5 a.m. EDT advisory, Irene is some 105 miles southeast of the popular cruise port of Grand Turk. Maximum sustained winds are now 100 mph, and the storm is expected to intensify into a major hurricane with winds in excess of 125 mph as it chugs toward the Bahamas.
Cruise Ship Itinerary Changes
Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival Pride
, which left Baltimore on Sunday for a week-long Bahamas and Florida cruise, will sail a revised route. The ship will now visit Port Canaveral (Tuesday, instead of Wednesday) and Freeport (Wednesday), after which the line will determine the remainder of the itinerary based on Irene's projected path.
Carnival Triumph
, which sailed from New Orleans on Saturday for a week-long Bahamas and Florida cruise, is swapping its Bahamas calls for visits to Western Caribbean ports. The new route includes stops in Key West (Tuesday, as planned), Cozumel (Wednesday) and Progreso (Thursday).
Carnival Destiny
, which departed Miami on Monday for a five-night cruise to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau, will instead visit Key West (Tuesday), Cozumel (Wednesday) and Costa Maya (Thursday).
Carnival Conquest
, which left Galveston on Sunday for a week-long Bahamas and Florida cruise, will now sail a Western Caribbean itinerary. The new route calls for visits to Costa Maya (Wednesday), Cozumel (Thursday) and Progreso (Friday).
Carnival Victory
had to cancel Monday's call at St. Thomas and is proceeding to Barbados for its scheduled call on Wednesday. Spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the line is still evaluating the remainder of the itinerary. Victory is on a seven-night cruise from San Juan.
Carnival Liberty
, in the midst of a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Miami, is stopping at Grand Turk Monday instead of spending the day at sea as originally planned. The line is evaluating the remainder of the itinerary.
Carnival Miracle
, which embarked from New York Thursday on an eight-night Eastern Caribbean cruise, is sailing an altered itinerary. Instead of visiting San Juan, St. Thomas and Grand Turk, the ship is now calling on Grand Turk (Monday) and Half Moon Cay (Tuesday).
Royal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean
has reversed the itinerary for
Oasis of the Seas
, which left Fort Lauderdale on Saturday for a week-long Western Caribbean cruise. The ship is now visiting Cozumel on Monday; spending Tuesday at sea; calling on Falmouth, Jamaica on Wednesday; and visiting Labadee, the line's private peninsula in Haiti, on Thursday. Oasis will spend Friday at sea before returning to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday as scheduled.
Freedom of the Seas
, which left Sunday from Port Canaveral on a week-long Western Caribbean cruise, is sailing a reversed itinerary. The ship is now calling on Cozumel (Tuesday), Grand Cayman (Wednesday), Falmouth, Jamaica (Thursday) and Labadee (Friday).
Oasis' sister ship,
Allure of the Seas
, is visiting all the ports originally scheduled on its week-long Caribbean cruise, but in a slightly different order. The ship will visit Nassau, Bahamas on Saturday (August 27) instead of Monday (August 22). Visits to St. Thomas (Wednesday) and St. Maarten (Thursday) will take place as planned.
Royal Caribbean has scrambled the order for
Serenade of the Seas
' seven-night Southern Caribbean cruise, which left from San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday. The ship is now visiting Aruba (Tuesday), Curacao (Wednesday), St. Kitts (Friday) and St. Thomas (Saturday).
Weather Outlook: Possible Affected Ships and Ports
The core of the storm will be passing just north of the Dominican Republic and Haiti early Tuesday before reaching Turks and Caicos Tuesday night and the Bahamas early Wednesday. A hurricane warning remains in effect for the Turks and Caicos, the southeastern and central Bahamas and the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
The current forecast shows the center of Irene making landfall Saturday afternoon somewhere near the South Carolina and North Carolina border. This is, however, an early projection. Meteorologists expect the storm's effects to be widespread along the East Coast.
We'll keep you posted if there are additional itinerary changes.

Things I liked:Like everyone reading this, I debated 97K, TX200 and A.R. Pro-Sport. With the /97K or KT I like there is no way for the cocking lever to hit the barrel. I like the cocking lever release button. I like the thumbhole stock. The P.S. is the best looking of the three. The walnut stock is incredible I am not a fan of that aluminum cocking lever. Should be ionized steel similar to the side lever of the RWS48. I understand you make me happy and you have a hunter not wanting that extra weight. The TX200 in my mind needs the cocking lever like the 97 with that catch piece designed to prevent the cocking lever from hitting the barrel. Such wonderful airarms blueing with a tiny rubber bumber to protect it. Things I would have changed:As you can see from above I want the best of 3 worlds. Look of the P.S., walnet stock like Air Arms has, cocking lever and action of the 97, flawless metal-work like the TX. I opted for the 97KT. The price is about $100 on the high side. At least in the USA it comes with a lifetime warranty. Time will tell if it will be there when you need it. What others should know:I will upload 2 pictures I took of the the 97KT. Of course I would prefer Oak over Beech but I have to say the staining looks beautiful. I have also seen TX200 comments where the owners have stated their Oak stock was rather plain when compared to the online photos. While that is a certaim amount of luck that is one of the issues with online shopping. No way to look before you buy. P.A. sales and service is top notch. I only had to return a bad scope so far. One final note. Since the stock on the KT is not the traditional rifle stock an AR-15 softside case I bought at a local sporting good store who's name starts with a "D" is a perfect fit. Things I liked:beautiful gun, shootsaccurately,very comfortable,great craftmanship,love it!!!!! Things I would have changed:cant put it on safety after you have taken it off,worst of all it is soooooo!!! heavy,NOT A GOOD FIELD RIFLE for that reason i have a bad shoulder and it is hard to carry and hold up!!!! What others should know:Just the weight is the real disadvantage to this beautiful gun!! Things I liked:Awesome, but not perfect . . .
I have been saving my pennies for what would be my ultimate air gun purchase. Torn between the Air Arms TX200 and the Weihrauch HW97K, the thumbhole stock of the HW97K was the deciding factor. I own four other air guns, but none compare to this engineering marvel. Ordered from PyramydAir and paid through Amazon, my rifle arrived within the 2 day delivery advertised by PyramydAir.
Knowing that I would mount a Hawke Sidewinder TAC 30 6.5-20X42 Mildot Riflescope, I also ordered a set of 30mm BKL Double Strap dovetail rings. After mounting the scope and cleaning the barrel, it was off to my backyard range to site in the scope. Sighted in with three shots using Crosman Premier Domed .177 Caliber 10.5 Grain Pellets. The fourth shot nailed a squirrel at 25 yards. The fifth shot nailed a crow in a tall oak at 40 yards using hold-over. Groups are one ragged, dime size hole. The rifle's documentation claims accuracy will increase after shooting x-number of pellets. I don't see how, this rifle is spot on.
Cocking is effortless and is as smooth as silk. The two stage trigger is a work of art, for me a bit heavy, but a small counter clockwise tweak solved the problem. Using a Birchwood Casey Presto Gun Blue Pen, purchased from Academy Sports, the barrel's bluing flaw was repaired. I wasn't in love with the stock's satin finish and gave it a hand finished treatment using TurtleWax Polishing Compound and the Platinum Series Ultra Gloss automotive paste wax. Things I would have changed:My initial inspection revealed imperfections in the finish of the stock and a bluing flaw on the top of the barrel near the muzzle break. The rifle was shipped in a box within a box encased in a plastic bag. The stock's finish was marred from what appeared to be water droplets. I don't know the origin of the droplets. Possibilities include the wood or finish not being thoroughly dried, and/or condensation during storage or shipment. The satin finish of the stock only highlighted the issue. The plastic bag appears to have contributed negatively with regard to protection of the HW97K. What others should know:After applying the TurtleWax treatment the rifle really pops. For me, the jury is still out on the forearm and grip stippling. I would have preferred the ornate fish scale of the Air Arms TX200. The stippling is a magnet for a cotton cloth. Hopefully, this magnetism will abate with time and wear, and the stippling will grow on me. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase . . . Urban Squirrel Hunter – New Orleans Reference accompanying photograph . . .
I was torn as well and bought the TX200. My TX200 is in for warranty repair for the 2nd time with a main spring issue. I am sure you made the best choice. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

Dry Idea: The story behind Maui's favorite noodle dish, Sam Sato's dry mein
by: Catherine E. Tothposted: Fri Jan 03, 2014 at 09:15 AM
Continued from previous page
Said Toma, "The secret is in the dough."
Sam and Gladys Sato continued to talk story with customers and work in the restaurant through the 1980s, when Lynne and Charles Toma (Kirk's parents) took over. Gladys Sato passed away in 1989, and Sam eight years later.
These days, Kirk is charged with making the dough for the manju; Charles makes the fillings while Lynne usually takes over the side dashi and mixing the top-secret sauce for the dry mein. Kirk, who will be the third-generation owner of Sam Sato's when his parents retire, plans to make sure his family's legacy remains a part of life on Maui for years to come.
"There are a lot of mom-and-pop [businesses] closing left and right and we're still here," said Kirk. "We have a lot of people from the Mainland who come every year, or college kids who come back on their breaks to eat here. That's one of the reasons I wanted to take over: to keep this going."
Our wait outside finally over, we were seated in Sam Sato's main dining area, packed with hungry patrons. Many knew the servers by name. Most were eating bowls of dry mein paired with grilled teriyaki beef skewers, a favorite local pairing with saimin. Others were feasting on hamburger and fries combos and plates of chopped steak, teriyaki beef, hamburger steak or beef tomato, a sugar-plantation-era dish with Chinese origins.
Still, it was clear that noodles—dry mein, in particular—will likely always rule the menu at Sam Sato's.
"People just like noodles," said Kirk Toma. "Noodles are our comfort food."

I thought I might start a new thread about Disney Triggers. You know, you're walking down the street and pass a bakery and the smell reminds you of the Main Street Bakery.
I know that my sense of smell is strongly linked to my memory and I have a real weird one relating to Disney.
When I was a CM at Tony'sTown Square Restaurant in MK, I was a seating hostess. We entered the restaurant from downstairs and made our way upstairs into the kitchen and then out to the dining room. Of course, in the kitchen, there's the dishwashing section. The kitchen always smelled of good food but whenever you had to walk over to the section where there were freshly washed glasses that we had to get to re-set the tables, you could always smell, well, the smell of dishwasher water. It has that particular smell. If anyone's ever worked in a restaurant, you know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, I now work in a hospital. Our cafeteria has one of those automatic tray returns that takes your dirty dishes and trays to the back to be washed. Whenever I take my dishes to the return, I can smell the dishwasher water and it takes me back to the days when I worked at Disney.
I know that's incredibly weird, but I figure you guys would appreciate the sentiment, if not the actual experience. LOL!
