I am an experienced professional with a background in music performance, education, composition, theory and arranging. *** Lesson Details *** Few musicians or music students have identical goals, musical interests or physical size. So, It is NECESSARY to customize the course of study to meet student requirements. There are common issues for any serious pursuit of learning involving the guitar; right and left hand technique, fingerboard knowledge, chord knowledge, reading and interpretation. However, to progress, it is also necessary for the student to practice daily. I try to maintain a healthy balance between the focus on performance and technical issues. *** Studio Equipment *** 16 Channel Mixer for Recording and Playback 16 Channel Audio Interface for Recording and Playback
Since he was seven years old, Mr. M. knew he wanted to be a singer. Once he heard the glorious voices of the three tenors (Domingo, Carreras, and Pavarotti), he knew he must spend his life learning to make those awe-inspiring sounds. It was at this time when he started singing in church choir, and Mr. M. highly encourages all aspiring singers to join a community choir or church choir as soon as they're able. Throughout his musical education at Georgia State University (Bachelors and Masters Degrees), he gained a firm musical foundation in vocal technique, ear-training, sight-reading, music theory, and a renewed appreciation for making music as part of a group. In addition, he had the good fortune to learn from some of the most phenomenal musicians in Atlanta: Dwight Coleman, Dr. ...

Jimmy Fallon loves going retro. What can he say? He is a child of the 80′s and 90′s.
So when Stevie Nicks visited The Tonight Show, Jimmy couldn't help but ask her to recreate the classic 1980′s music video Stop Draggin' My Heart Around. Of course, Jimmy plays the part of Tom Petty. They even added the obligatory 'shiny-grainy' look that was typical of the early 80′s music videos.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Adam Kennedy and Ryan Zimmerman hit back-to- back homers to help push the Washington Nationals to a 3-2 win over the New York Mets in the opener of a three-game set at a windy Citi Field.
Ivan Rodriguez continued his torrid pace with the bat, going 4-for-4 with an RBI for the Nats, who have won three straight games. The veteran catcher is now batting .393.
Rookie Luis Atilano (3-0) surrendered just five hits with five strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings to pick up the win. Miguel Batista earned his first save.
"We've played good baseball," said Nationals manager Jim Riggleman. "Sometimes the statistics don't bare it out in all categories, but I think we've played good baseball and they played good baseball. There was a lot of good baseball out there tonight. Both clubs left some runners on base, but the baseball was good."
Angel Pagan finished 2-for-5 with a home run for the Mets, who have dropped two straight contests.
John Maine (1-2) allowed two runs on seven hits in six frames for the loss.
"The only thing anyone cares about is that we lost," said Maine. "That's the bottom line. I probably could've done a little more. I made a couple of bad pitches, but it doesn't matter if it was good or bad. We still lost."
Pagan pulled the Mets within one in the ninth off Batista with one down, as he blasted a solo shot to center. After Alex Cora singled with two down, Jason Bay struck out to end the game.
The Mets finished the night 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base, including critical situations in the first, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth innings.
After Nyjer Morgan and Kennedy reached second and third with one down in the first, Maine struck out Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham to keep the score at zero.
The Mets followed suit in the bottom half as Pagan led off with a single, stole second and moved to third on Luis Castillo's walk. Pagan then advanced to third on a passed ball with one down, and Bay walked to load the bases. But David Wright and Ike Davis both struck out to end the frame.
Kennedy finally got the Nats on the board with one-out blast to right in third. Zimmerman made it 2-0 with a shot to left.
The Mets struck in the seventh. Jeff Francoeur beat out an infield single to start and moved to second on Rod Barajas' single to right. After pinch-hitter Gary Matthews Jr. struck out and Francoeur was caught in between third and home on Pagan's fielder's choice, Castillo lined a base hit to left, plating Barajas to get within 2-1. But Tyler Walker struck out Jose Reyes to stop the threat.
The Nats countered in the eighth. Dunn started the frame with a double to the right field corner and was replaced on the bases by Willy Taveras. Willingham moved him to third with a single and Rodriguez singled in the speedster for a 3-1 advantage. After Roger Bernadina struck out, Jenrry Mejia forced Ian Desmond to ground into a double play.
New York put runners on second and third with two outs in the eighth, but Barajas popped out to shortstop.

Gilbert's fifth high school could come with synthetic grass on the football field, solar panels that operate ceiling fans in the dining pavilion and remote panels that show current energy usage.
Those are just some of the "green" options the Gilbert Unified School District is exploring for its final planned high school as the district enters the bidding phase.
District staff presented several green options to the governing board at Tuesday's study session.
The green options are in addition to elements already planned to save energy and water.
Groundwork has already started on the 60-acre high school site at Germann Road and Quartz Street between Lindsay Road and Val Vista Drive off the Loop 202 Santan Freeway.
The school is scheduled to open in August 2009.
Board president Helen Hollands said it's financially beneficial for the district to incorporate green concepts if the district can hold costs down.
The board asked the district to seek alternate bids for several of the green options.
"With the alternate bids we can pick and choose depending on the costs," Hollands said.
The board and district staff liked the options of using synthetic grass on the football field and installing desert landscaping around the campus.
Both of those options would reduce water usage and maintenance costs.
"I love the look of green and grass, but desert is better," said Stan Peterson, the district's director of operations.
Waterless urinals and two-stage flush toilets were not a hit with the board, although Hollands said she wanted the options considered for adult-only bathrooms.
Although the two options would reduce water usage, there would be higher maintenance costs for chemicals.
Extra care and education would also be needed with students.
"Kids don't flush the toilets as it is," said board member Elaine Morrison.
"And anything that requires extra maintenance is a loss for me."
Auto-flush toilets at Mesquite High School had to be removed because maintenance was too difficult and costs were too high to replace damaged units, said Clyde Dangerfield, the district's assistant superintendent of business services.
"We want to be green friendly, but we also want to be smart," Dangerfield said.
Green elements already planned for the high school include using nonpotable water for landscape irrigation, putting in low-energy lighting and adding a window in each classroom to give the rooms some natural lighting.

Web-to-Print: A Path to Buyer Satisfaction
July 2013 By Stephanie Pieruccini and Arianna ValentiniFor PSPs that do not offer Web-to-print, receiving files can be a challenge and create a bottleneck at prepress. In general, those surveyed reported that more than 36 percent of print volume is received via e-mail. While e-mail is more efficient than a physical hand-off of a job or mail (which is how PSPs surveyed receive 21 percent of print volume), it does present problems such as lost or misplaced e-mails or attachment issues, including file size and format issues, which cause unnecessary delays.
Web-to-print solutions enable print service providers to create automated pre-production checks that scan a file before the submission is complete, notifying the customer of any issues immediately. This saves the customer and the PSP valuable time and helps to ensure that the job is not delayed. According to the survey, 29 percent of print volume is received, on average, via Web-to-print solutions by print service providers offering this service. This translates to potentially 29 percent of print volume that could be automated (if it is not already). Customers using the Internet to submit jobs are able to interact with a self-service tool that puts them in control.
Speeds Request-for-Quote Process
Another challenge faced by PSPs that do not take the full leap into Web-to-print can relate to the quoting process. Web-to-print allows for transparency in pricing, which helps customers make decisions faster. According to the survey, 64 percent of PSPs are offering requests-for-quote forms on their Websites. While this may be a good step for someone who wants to leverage the Internet but does not have the time to implement Web-to-print, the challenge is that a customer may be reluctant to request a quote through a Website if picking up a phone to contact a printer directly is faster.
When PSPs were asked if Web-to-print was critical for their business, 82 percent agreed with that statement. For more than half of print service providers to say that they feel it is necessary to their business speaks to the value and opportunity that Web-to-print brings to their customers and the business. In a time of high competition, a well-integrated, Web-to-print system not only shows customers that a print service provider is on top of the latest technology, but also shows that they are committed to building and supporting customer's needs for the long term.
Print service providers also reported that Web-to-print enabled them to go after new market niches. For many printers, this niche is focused on expanding into marketing services. The challenge becomes selling these services to their customers who may be unaware that the PSP even offers them. Web-to-print storefronts are also an ideal platform for self-service digital marketing for those service providers that do not have the resources to offer complete marketing services. Providing access to these tools can empower customers to purchase and manage these services on their own. By including marketing services within a Web-to-print interface, customers can become aware of all of the service provider's capabilities.
Smorgasbord of Services
Figure 2 (in the photo tab to the right) demonstrates the various services a print service provider can offer its customers through Web-to-print. These include: e-mail marketing, Website design/creation, personalized Web pages and digital interactive catalogs. On average, each of the services previously mentioned was offered by print service providers with Web-to-print solutions 33 percent of the time. Keep in mind that new capabilities could also include new print applications, such as wide-format or packaging.
Technology, of course, plays an important role in finding success with Web-to-print. In the U.S. alone, there are dozens upon dozens of Web-to-print solutions on the market, promising PSPs massive success through the use of their solutions. Some solutions excel at applications like marketing management, while others are great for accepting a wide variety of jobs submitted in an ad-hoc fashion.
When shopping for a Web-to-print solution, it is important to keep in mind all of your customers. For some print service providers, it may be tempting to wait for a customer to request a Web-to-print storefront before making the investment. The challenge may be selecting a solution that is catered to a single client, and not necessarily best for expanding to other customers. When selecting a solution, it is important to consider not just the customer who is requesting it, but other clients who are ideal candidates to migrate to this technology, as well.
The key to a successful Web-to-print service is its ability to encourage one stop shopping for a busy customer. Not only is the process more accessible to busy print buyers, but an online storefront can serve as a reminder for other products and services that may need to be ordered. This allows a print service provider to showcase capabilities that would otherwise be overlooked. Choosing a solution that accommodates near-term and long-term service capabilities will ensure that the technology can grow with your business.
Print service providers looking to make an informed technology buying decision can leverage InfoTrends' Ultimate Guide Online at http://ultimateguide.infotrends.com to access guides on Web-to-print and many other software and hardware categories.
It is clear that Web-to-print already plays an important role in print businesses of all types and sizes. That role is only going to amplify as we continue to move forward as an industry. Web-enabling your print business can provide improved customer interaction, satisfaction, turnaround time, reduced costs for clients and an optimized production workflow. By investing in the right technology and building on its capabilities by adding new services and features, PSPs can launch unique, effective solutions that grow their businesses in new ways. Now is the time to invest in Web-to-print. PI

Current Time
Washington, D.C. hotels
Hotels in Washington, D.C., have been working hard to overcome their city's reputation as the all-work-no-play drone of the East Coast. Stuffiness is now trumped by buzzy modernity; even old-school power spots like the St. Regis (formerly the Carlton) have transitioned from fusty and overwrought to serenely elegant. The boutique hotel scene has evolved, too, from quirky (the Hotel Monaco and Hotel George) to sophisticated, with the opening of the modish Donovan House. Of course, a trip to Washington is a trip through American history, and hotels such as the Hay-Adams—once a salon for the likes of Mark Twain and Teddy Roosevelt and now a happy-hour spot for White House staffers—and the Willard, where Lincoln stayed before his inauguration, play their roles with gusto.
Though Washington is a relatively compact city, location does matter. Many of the top luxury hotels, including the Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, and one of the four area Ritz-Carltons, are located in and around leafy Georgetown. That neighborhood is one of the city's most idyllic, yet the lack of Metro access there means hotel guests rely on cabs to get around. Choosing a hotel downtown or in the Penn Quarter will put you near some of D.C.'s best restaurants and nightlife and within walking distance of the National Mall. For a more laid-back vibe, consider Thomas and Dupont circles, home to boutique properties like the budget-friendly Normandy and Kimpton Hotel Rouge and charming B&Bs such as Swann House.
Washington, D.C., hotels can be a great deal for weekend travelers. When business and political visitors head home, luxury hotel rates fall by as much as 50 percent and hotel restaurants fill with local residents. (Some of the capital's top tables are hotel-based, including Alain Ducasse's Adour, in the St. Regis; CityZen, in the Mandarin Oriental, and Blue Duck Tavern in the Park Hyatt.) Great deals also abound when Congress is in recess during late August and the winter holidays.

Support Groups - Floozies #33View Full Version : Floozies #33 ShelleyM 05-18-2008, 01:15 PM I hope you find this thread, ladies! The other one was getting toooooo looooooonggggg! gdeann 05-18-2008, 01:24 PM Thank you Shelley for starting the new thread! Your a sweetie! We came home from church to find police officers, orange cones, flags etc. out down the street a couple of blocks. I guess we had a couple of stabbings in our area. Really makes me feel secure about letting my child out to play... Off to the graduation, hopefully all will go well and ding-ding SIL will be on her best behavior. She is married to a superintendant of schools with a huge ego, quite the pair, he thinks he knows everything and she is a ding-bat. LOL! SuzyMc 05-18-2008, 07:05 PM Thanks for starting a new thread Shelley...this one loaded much faster for me! :) Gayle, that is so scary! It seems that things like that are happening everywhere these days. It doesn't matter if you live in a small town or big city. It's a scary world we live in. :( ShelleyM 05-19-2008, 06:33 AM Whoa, Gayle. That is very scary. We are getting new neighbors. The house next to us finally sold, after 2 years. I am very excited. They seem nice.. coles 05-19-2008, 09:35 AM Holy cow Gayle, that is not good. Good luck at graduation. Dee - prayers to you and your family. The weather here is terrible, it rained all weekend. 4myloves 05-19-2008, 11:24 AM Dee, I'm thinking of you during this time. Shelley, glad you liked the pics of Jake! Yea--New neighbors! Hope they're good folks! Gayle, those stabbings would cause me to keep Jake inside for quite a while! Janice, I know how it is with the rain. It's finally stopped here--we probably won't get anymore 'til August now! :( ShelleyM 05-20-2008, 06:35 AM Send some rain my way, ladies! We really need it in Fl. coles 05-20-2008, 08:13 AM Shelley - I would gladly send you some rain. I have seen the wild fires on TV, must be very scary. There is so much devastation in the world right now with the eathquake in China I can't imagine the suffering of those poor people. I should count me blessings that all I have to complain about is rain. I weighed in this morning and gained 3 pounds. I didn't log and keep track of my calories last week and thats what happens. I am back to logging my food and keeping track of everything that goes into my body. I AM A BAD GIRL!! Deelite 05-20-2008, 05:45 PM Hi girls, I am just checking in to let you know that we are home. It has been tough. It is a long story....It just doesn't seem fair but we are just the step kids. Nobody let us know that he died on monday. Dez was reading the paper on her birthday on friday and said oh no. I looked over and seen that she was looking at the obituaries. I went over to see who died. She said it was Papa. I couldn't believe that nobody even called us to tell us. He wasn't close to his kids so we never seen them except at their wedding and viv's funeral. He never saw them either. We loved Papa, He was the one person that we knew that loved life to the fullest. He was so compassionate and caring and funny. There is a big whole in our life without him. We were his family but not in blood. Larry truly adopted them as his real family. Papa couldn't believe that Larry's dad didn't want to be a father figure or a grampa. He said he was so lucky to have us but we felt that way about him. We decided not to go to the funeral on saturday. He didn't want one and his kids that didn't know him put it on. We felt like we were outsiders as no one thought to let us know that he died or that he had been in the hospital for 10 days prior. I feel so cheated that we didn't get to say good bye. He was 73 and died of a broken heart. We lost Baba at Christmas and Papa couldn't go on without her. They were country singers. They cut a cd a few years ago. I am just playing it now. Oh it hurts to know that we won't be seeing them for a long time. The tears just won't stop. I feel like a fool because there is no one to cry with. Just the kids and Larry and they are saying it is over life goes on and not showing any emotion. Now that is scary. We have had so much death that they can't cope with it any more. But boy do we have some awesome memories. The best memories I have are with them because they were so spunky and fun and full of love. I guess that is why there is so much pain. Don't forget to tell your love ones that you love them. gdeann 05-21-2008, 12:37 AM Dee, we need to remember we have everlasting life. Our time here on Earth is short, and we need to remember life after death continues. No wonder your crying, Papa and Viv sound like they were wonderful people. I KNOW they are in Heaven together and just as loving as ever. It's sad when families have problems. Steve & my families act like complete ding-dongs. I haven't spoken to 2 sisters and a brother in several years because of the way they treat a parent. Even though you couldn't be with Papa, he truly knew who loved him, no question at all. God bless your family and I wish all of you peace soon. coles 05-21-2008, 09:03 AM Dee- my heart breaks for you. I know how much you miss them, but their love and memories will be with you forever until you see them again. Everyone handles grief differently and in there own way. We got a call Monday night, Doug's uncle had just passed away. He was having angioplasty surgery on his heart and didn't make it. The service is on Saturday. Such sad news lately. gdeann 05-21-2008, 10:22 AM How sad Janice. We have had alot of grief on here as of late. Prayers to your family. Cheryl, are you doing ok with your upcoming surgery? Is it still scheduled for Friday? Hmmmm...a little birdie told me we have a birthday on the board coming up next week... 4myloves 05-21-2008, 10:41 AM Dee, my heart is breaking for you. I can't believe no one thought to let y'all know that Papa was sick and then when he died. I hate it when people who don't care for a person act like they were the ones who did everything for them when they were alive. Those are usually the same ones who fight over all of the possessions. Gayle, my surgery is still on go for Friday. I'm not worried about it--I figure whatever happens happens. I made a tape of myself singing and talking to Jake for him to have just in case something unexpected happens to me. I want him to know Momma loved him and to "remember" my voice. SuzyMc 05-21-2008, 10:45 AM Love and hugs to you Dee. I know how difficult it is to be surrounded by so much sickness, death and heartache. I also know that there isn't much that anyone can say or do to make it better, so just know that you are loved and that we all care. :hug: Janice, you and your family are also in my prayers. My sympathies to Doug and the rest of the family. Deelite 05-21-2008, 03:15 PM Janice I am sorry to hear about Doug's uncle. I understand the pain you must be going through. Don't beat yourself up on the 3 pounds lost. Just get back to it and journal. You did it before and you can do it again. Cheryl you will do fine on friday. I know that you must be scared. Our prayers are with you. Whe n you talked about leaving a tape for Jake so he coulld here you, that is such a good idea. Yesterday I put on Lucky and Viv's cd they made. It was like they were right here with me. You are right it will be his kids that are going to fight for everything. We want so very few things and they are things that we gave them. Even then if there will be some trouble them we will back out and keep our memories because that is better than any of that stuff. I don't think that I even told you that today was the day for my next painful back procedure. I went this morning all drugged up and then they decided since my back is doing so well they will leave it alone and treat my leg. He hesitated about doing it right away because he perfers a scan of it first. So now I am waiting for an appointment then we will go again. I am still whoosy from the drugs but I am feeling better. Prayers to all you ladies than need a little extra love and comfort. Thanks for the kind words. Deelite 05-22-2008, 11:55 AM Good orning Ladies, Anybody out there? It is quiet here. What are you all up to? I didn't feel like going to the gym this morning. Hopefully I will get my butt in gear and go for a walk. It is cool out. I think that we will go camping again this weekend. I am going to go plan a menu just in case and get everything ready. Cheryl good luck with your surgery friday. I will be praying for you. I hope that it makes you feel better and that you will be able to nurse Jake again. Deelite 05-22-2008, 03:52 PM Hey there is some Foozies that are being Knotty..........you haven't posted your birthday on the birthday thread and this old chick has such a bad memory that I might forget it. 4myloves 05-22-2008, 04:27 PM Mine is January 14th :) Deelite 05-22-2008, 11:24 PM Larry is off at noon on friday. We will be gone camping again this weekend. We will be close to the city but the park has a lot of wonderful camping trails. I will see if I can avoid poison ivy by keeping Larry on the bottom. The weather is looking good. It will be nice to be away. Be good girls. Cheryl thanks for letting me know when your birthday is. I will get it posted. Anyone else. Cheryl you will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Let us know how you are doing. gdeann 05-22-2008, 11:55 PM Poor Larry is going to end up with poison ivy rug rash. Wonder if he'll mind?? :-) Cheryl, good luck with everything. You are in my thoughts and prayers sweetie. Who is taking care of Jake for you? Make sure big Stew is a good nurse and gets you back here posting soon! SuzyMc 06-06-2008, 08:34 PM Stop! A new thread has been started. See "Floozies...a fresh start! #34". ellis 06-07-2008, 01:05 AM I'll just close this again. :D Sorry about the lost posts, everyone. :grouphug: vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

7. Bejeweled (2001)
Among all the things that happened to gamers during the decade, having to fight with our moms, wives and sisters for computer time is one of the strangest. It's hard to nail down a specific game that bears the most responsibility, but for well over 100 million people, the gateway drug was PopCap's gem-matching puzzle game Bejeweled.

CSS/Javascript navigation page identifier script
I am trying to figure out how to code this type of horizontal navigation like this site. http://www.maxdesign.com.au/
When you click on, say, "News", the CSS button turns red and white. I am thinking that this is done with JavaScript and a basic CSS list menu. But I cannot seem to find an example of this the of menu anywhere. The Max Design site is based on WordPress and apparently this navigation uses an API built into the WP framework.
I need this type of horizontal menu for a custom coded CSS and PHP site.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Either code or point me to a tutorial.

No. As far as I can see, there must be a server-side code beneath, not JavaScript, which writes different classes. Or server-side includes.
There might be several solutions. If you say you are using PHP, let us know if you need some examples in PHP.

Hi Kor,
Yes. I am using PHP and a server-side method would be excellent. Could you point me to some examples. As I mentioned in the first post, I want to set up navigation so that the CSS button changes to the page it is on.
All the best,

you can set a class on  on each page of your site, reflecting the location of the page.
your nav has corresponding classes that match up with these sections.
as an example, the about page's body tag could look like
example html navCode:
Code:

Home

About

Contact Us

the css
in this fashion the body's class activates a particular navigation item.Code:.nav a {color: blue; } body.about .nav .about a, body.home .nav .home a, body.contact .nav .contact a{ color: green; }
no javascript or server processing needed.

SeaTac $15 wage win tempered by recount, legal hurdles
Opponents of a ballot initiative that would raise the minimum wage for workers at some businesses in and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to $15 announced on Tuesday that they were calling for a recount in the narrowly decided and closely watched contest.
The prospect of a recount and more legal hurdles hardly stopped supporters from celebrating their narrow victory in the three-week-long vote count by King County Elections. The initiative, SeaTac Proposition 1, which eked out a 77-vote victory, has garnered national attention as other cities, including Seattle, weigh the merits of upping their minimum wages. Supporters pointed to the measure's potential for spurring wider action.
The hot-button ballot measure continues to pit business owners, who say they can't afford the 63 percent wage hike, against workers ,who say they can't make ends meet. Proposition 1 is also facing legal challenges. Two small food businesses, Alaska Airlines and the Washington Restaurant Association have a case pending against the city of SeaTac, the city's clerk and the Port of Seattle in King County Superior Court, contending the ballot measure violates state and federal laws.
"When an election is this close, everyone should be assured the outcome is as certain as possible," Scott Ostrander, co-chair of Common Sense SeaTac, the campaign opposed to the initiative, said in an emailed statement about the recount.
Common Sense SeaTac has requested a hand recount, which, according to Kim van Ekstrom, chief communications officer for King County Elections, will likely get underway next week. "We'll get on it really quickly because we're anxious to get it done," she said.
SeaTac voters cast a total of 6,003 ballots for and against Proposition 1. Certified election results released on Tuesday show 50.64 percent of those votes for the measure, with 49.36 percent opposed.
Around the time Common Sense Seattle announced the recount request, supporters of Proposition 1 were extolling its passage at a press conference in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Arrival Hall.
"Workers at Sea-Tac deserve better pay and better benefits," said Sergio Salinas, president of the Service Employees International Union Local 6, and a backer of the Yes! for SeaTac campaign. "We are making history nationally."
Labor organizations contributed heftily to the Yes! for SeaTac campaign. One of the top donors was the SEIU Washington State Council, which gave $165,000. The Service Employees International Union gave $106,000 and SEIU Healthcare 775NW chipped in $50,000. In total, the campaign raised $1.4 million.
By comparison, the Common Sense Sea Tac campaign raised just over $665,000. Alaska Airlines gave $126,000, the Washington Lodging Political Action Committee contributed $109,000 and the American Car Rental Association dropped $100,000 in the pot.
Proposition 1 would apply to roughly 6,300 workers at 72 non-union businesses in and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The initiative includes exemptions for off-airport restaurants that are not part of hotels, grocery stores and airport retail businesses with less than 10 employees, along with hotels and parking lots that are smaller-sized.
Washington's current minimum wage is $9.19 per hour. In addition to the $5.81 bump in hourly pay, the initiative would provide up to 6.5 days of paid sick leave a year for full-time airport employees and would prevent owners taking over businesses from firing existing staff during the first three months.
"The upshot is that businesses will look to reduce costs either directly in labor, by reducing positions, or by creating other efficiencies," said Common Sense SeaTac spokesman Gary Smith. Rental car companies, he said, could look toward automation and hotel restaurants might shy away from hiring servers and offer buffet style meals instead. "It's likely there will be fewer jobs as a result of the initiative," Smith said.
Dave Rolf, president of Service Employees International Union Local Healthcare 775NW, said at the press conference on Monday that concerns about job cuts are overblown. He cited an October 2013 report that discusses the effect of wage increases at California airports. Academic studies cited in the report found that the pay increases for low-wage workers did not cause the number of airport jobs to decline, but did reduce employee turnover rates.

Don't challenge the initiative, Don't modify the Street pricing requirements for SeaTac airport on-site vendors, let the market rule. Of course that means that the SEIU will have to find a whole bunch of folks jobs because they will be unemployed, but that has never stopped the union before. Just once I would like to see the union act as a model for the business cases they propose. Union, get in the fast food business and show us all how you make money in a union owned, union operated, living wages and benefits business while competing in an open market. You say there are no impacts, you say you can still make enough money, go ahead and show everyone how you do it. Talk is cheap.

Riddle me this? Has a recount ever changed the outcome (I.e. person who won, issue passed) in Washington? The Secretary of State used to have a history of recounts on its Web page that it would update, but it's been years since I have seen it and I can't seem to find it today--maybe it's just a lack of coffee.

There SHOULD be a recount in any election this close. I'm a little dubious as to how this measure violates state and federal laws, but I'm sure we'll hear about it.
Otherwise, if the yes votes win the recount, I expect a LOT of layoffs and other cutbacks or shifts in services. You just can't realistically expect any business facing a 63 percent increase in labor costs to do nothing in response.

As a resident of SeaTac, I have opposed this measure from the first. The unions exempted themselves, so a union shop does not have to pay $15. Pretty hypocritical from the bunch who wrote and backed the measure. My little town gets compared to big cities in California--LA and San Jose, specifically--who have raised min wage. The pro's omit the GLARING differences. Both LA and San Jose own their airports. SeaTac does not, it's Port of Seattle property. LA's population is 3.8 million with the average house price of $580K. San Jose is about 900K population, average house price is $630K. SeaTac is 29,000 population, average house price is $200k. Just where is our tax base to pay for administration and enforcement of this? Last night, I witnessed an assault at one of our SeaTac parks. The response time from the police was over 15 minutes, well after the perp fled. We hear budget restrains as the excuse for poor police service all the time. Thank, Prop 1 supporters, for constraining our city budget even more.

In Lapidarium in Berlin, there are a lot of huge monuments and statues of key figures of German history. These are all very old and huge.
The Lapidarium (at the pumping station in Kreuzberg on Hallesches banks), was built in 1873 and consists of two huge rooms. There is a slight musty smell and the air is slightly damp and cold. This place is used for storage and exhibition of huge ancient monuments. These were formerly in the Berlin Victory Boulevard and at the zoo. There are now partly only replicas of the originals. In Lapidarium, you'll meet a five-foot Johann W. von Goethe, or an oversized Otto von Bismarck.
Unfortunately, the rooms are not open to the public, but per request (or luck), it is possible to then take a quick look inside and take pictures. It's unbelievably fun, but it's forbidden to climb between the figures and sit on the arm of Charlemagne. Since it is relatively dark, it is wise to choose a light-sensitive film or flash.

In 2007, a kind soul named Laura posted about finding some Hoyas for sale at a botanical garden in Florida. I had commented about how great it would be to make this discovery and I'd be snatching up all that I didn't already have. She got hold of me and offered to get a few for me and send them to me, and I gratefully accepted her kind offer. She said they were not tagged, but I didn't have a lot of unusual ones at that time, and I was willing to take the chance of getting some duplicates to hopefully acquire a couple of new ones. Well, I don't even remember how many or what others showed up, but to my delight, one of them was a beautifully grown Hoya mitrata. At first, I had serious doubts that it was even a Hoya because it was so un-Hoya-like. But I did some research and found it was, indeed, a Hoya and I was thrilled. And it became one of my favorites with its opulent leaves. Well, I lost mine this late winter/early spring and I'm heartbroken. When I did a search for mitrata, it took me to Gardino's site, where it says "no longer available". I contacted Paula and she said they had lost theirs, too, and were on the lookout for it, and they would put me on a "waiting" list for it. I told her how I had come about mine, and her question was "do you know what botanical garden?" So, I'm posting to see if Laura is around and remembers where she got that lovely mitrata. Denise in Omaha |
Follow-Up Postings:
While I'm waiting to see if Laura responds... I thought I'd tell you guys that I found one on eBay that ricnfl was selling. It ended before I could bid, but apparently he didn't get a bid and relisted it. So I marked my calendar to bid when it got close to the end date (I didn't want to get into a bidding war with someone 'cuz when I want something bad enough, I can lose my mind!) Well, when I went back, it had ended again! I contacted ricnfl and he said it had gotten a little sunburned so he ended it because he didn't want to sell anything that wasn't in great shape. So I'm hoping maybe that one will pan out at some point! Denise in Omaha |
Here is a link that might be useful: ricnfl's mitrata

Denise, you did not want to ask Ric to just sell you that plant or a cutting outside of ebay? (Yet again I am reminded that many people have way better self-control than I do. Sigh.) By the way, mitrata looks like it could be another candidate for the type of leaves that do not photograph well. It sort of looks gritty and gnarly and rugged - not your typical "pretty" hoya, but handsome none-the-less in its own right. About that Florida Botanical Garden... I am assuming you saw this, right? http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/hoya/msg0721024110946.html. It's not from Laura, and not from 2007, but hey it's a BG in FL that sells hoyas, so maybe... What was Laura's username? Perhaps you can hit her with a PM, even if she does not hang out here any longer. A google search can also be more successful if you know the username.Tell me (if you know), and I'll try a few tricks to try to find that thread. |

That's so weird that mitrata is such a hot item these days. I have to say I've been getting a lot of trade requests for it, too. I find this plant a bit mysterious, so I'm quite anxious at the moment about keeping both of mine alive… My main mitrata was in S/H and it had been doing okay… doing this thing where it would grow a lot and then lose some leaves and then grow a lot and then lose some leaves. The whole time while living in an aquarium with very stable conditions. Then it just started losing too many leaves in a row so I chopped it up and am currently trying to save it. Then, I have one from Jack, that looks fine. But they always look great when I get them and then die within 6 months, so clearly I haven't cracked the code. But I have to say that he has the most delicious collections of mitrata. If I can get this one to survive for a year, next year I will buy every other mitrata he has. Or maybe I'll just do that next month. ;) |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 16:46
Mitrata leaves kind of remind me of if caudata and waymaniae had a baby. They're big and have these rolling curves like they were shaped by pressing a mold onto a knuckled fist. And they are pale green and heavily speckled underneath. The tops are very licheny looking with that matte mossy green color and faintly rough texture. Anyway, they just fit into that group of Hoyas that look like they are on a covert mission. |
This post was edited by greedyghost on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 16:54
I've always described the leaves as looking like they have an clear but slightly opaque layer that shines on top of the leaf, so kind of shimmery. And I'm intrigued with the way it grows in clumps (or as Ted Green describes it, "cabbage-like growth") then it will get a vine that's a foot or two long with a grouping of leaves. And I, too, always found it a bit temperamental. It would go through cycles where it would lose leaves, then recover. But I find it's VERY hard to root, or I'd just get a cutting from Ted. Which I may do next spring, during "ideal" rooting time, if I can't get one soon... GT, unfortunately, I don't have Laura's username. And I see on the member search page, there are 44 pages of "Lauras". A lot to wade through!! BUT, after your posting I went back and narrowed it down by state, and there were far fewer in just Florida - 2 pages!! So I think I'll do some checking through those as that's very manageable... And yes, GT, you must see mitrata in person to truly appreciate it. GG, next time you order from Jack, perhaps you could give me a heads-up and I might just add a mitrata and give it a whirl. You have such good luck with ordering from Thailand, but I don't dare!! Here's my "$200 Hoya" (as I call it) - the one that survived the 2012 Thai debacle... It's absolutely lovely, and I got my first flowers just a few weeks ago - so small and hard to photograph... ALMOST worth it!! Denise in Omaha |
- Posted by greentoe357 7b NYC under lights (My Page) on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 21:53
It looks like a million dollars, Denise! So hey, you got a profit of $999,800! :-) What's its name? |
Oops, I did forget to say what it was! Cv. 'Rebecca'. And a photo of the lovely mitrata I lost... Denise in Omaha |
Well, Denise it looks like you found me!! My ears should have been tingling-hehe. The name of the garden is University South Florida Botanical Garden. It is run by volunteers and donations so it struggles along. They have a member who donates the hoyas. You could contact the garden and talk to Kim and see if they have that hoya. I don't think they would ship but I go to the garden or near the garden regularly. If the garden does not have it there might be a way to find out who the grower is. Good luck and let me know what is going on. I will check back regularly or you can email me. For now...work! |

I bought a mitrata from Ric on Ebay early on in the season. He seemed to have a lot of it as it was listed there for weeks. Mine rooted in no time at all. I'm growing it in semi-hydro, and so far it has been a model citizen. After reading about everyone's troubles though, I will have to keep a close eye on it. Doug |
- Posted by greentoe357 7b NYC under lights (My Page) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 10:48
I am glad the mystery is solved! And it turned out to be the same Botanical Garden mentioned in that more recent thread! That mitrata looks great, Denise - no wonder you are trying to get one back into your hands again. |
- Posted by teisa 6 (email@example.com) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 23:05
Denise, I remember you posting that pic before and it is a Gorgeous plant. I've looked at sights for years for anything that looks close to yours. Its a Beauty. |
I'm so glad you came by, Laura! I'll call the folks at the Botanical Gardens and see what I can find out. And I'll let Paula know if they do have them as she really wants to get it back in their stock, too. I'll be e-mailing you privately, too... Denise in Omaha |
- Posted by wanna_run_faster (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 14 at 20:30
Denise, I contacted the USFBG to see if they had a list of their hoya collection / offerings but they didn't have one available. If you DO find the original benefactor and get a list of her / his collection and / or donations to the gardens, I would love to get a copy! Helen :) |
Denise...there's a H. mitrata listed on Ebay as of an hour ago...ends next Saturday...go get it!! Fondly, Patrick |
Helen, I haven't had a chance to call them yet - I'm in the wedding biz and we had a BIG one last night, so I was crazy-busy all week getting ready for it. Thanks for checking - I'll have to do some digging. Patrick, I did a search of eBay and nothing is listed under mitrata. Any chance you could post a link?? Denise in Omaha |
Denise, sorry I don't know how to post a link...you know how computer illiterate I am!!! Just type in Hoya Mitrata under Ebay Home and Gardening...there's only the one listing...it's currently at $9.99. Best wishes and good luck! Fondly, Patrick |
Thanks, Patrick - I found it! Well, I tried bidding on it and quit at $30 (with shipping). I will check in on it again toward the end. Perhaps I'm just not destined to have this one right now, and that's ok. I will get another at some point... Denise in Omaha |
Sorry Denise...it'd probably be best to wait for Ric Moreira...he'll be back home around September 8th...you can contact him then. It's so strange how fast those prices/bids can get unreasonable. It's truly best to wait!! Fondly, Patrick |

Hollybrook resident finally getting closure
As disabled residents of the Hollybrook Apartments on St. Joseph's Villa property south of the main campus navigate to cross Brook Road, many face difficulties with traffic and are fearful for their safety. Resident Brian Montgomery has been fighting for enhancements for the Brook Road corridor along the Villa's property since 2000, when he was struck by an SUV while on his way to get groceries. His chair wound up under the vehicle and he barely escaped breaking his neck. Twelve years later, he is finally seeing plans put in motion to make the corridor a safer area for residents and pedestrians.
The Hollybrook complex is a HUD Section 8 apartment community for people living with disabilities and was designed for people confined to wheelchairs. It now serves seniors and people with mental illnesses as well and consists of two developments, Hollybrook I and Hollybrook II; each has 30 units. For the residents of Hollybrook, crossing the busy intersection is something they do daily because across Brook Road sits a Wal-mart and other stores that many of them frequently use. With a high number of handicapped people in close proximity to a major roadway, the chances of getting hit or dealing with careless drivers has escalated. It's frustrating for tenants because despite safety concerns, there have been no major improvement to the road for more than 60 years – until now. Things are finally moving forward, as VDOT and Henrico County are funding a $5.5 million project at the site. The construction budget originally was assessed at $2.4 million, but after a delay of five years to finalize plans, the cost more than doubled. Project plans include sidewalk enhancements at the Villa entrance and Wal-mart entrance at the back of Hollybrook; sidewalks will be enlarged from four feet to seven feet. A sidewalk behind Brook Road that runs from the corner of Villa Park Drive to the entrance of Hollybrook will be enlarges as well, and an additional sidewalk will be built to run all to way to Parham Road in front of the Villa. It has taken more than a decade of advocating through letters, e-mails, meeting and phone calls for Montgomery and residents of Hollybrook Apartments to see any signs of change. Montgomery wishes the issue had been handled sooner, so that several life-altering incidents could've been avoided. "I got hit back in 2000 and I met some neighbors of mine and we started contacting Henrico County, trying to get sidewalks and improvements out here in Hollybrook," he said. "When it was built in 1984 they should've put the sidewalks in but they didn't. We've been going back and forth with Henrico County and VDOT for about 12 years trying to get it all nailed down." A few sidewalk and crosswalk signals were added to the Brook and Wilkinson intersection more than five years ago, but the changes almost served as a temporary fix to the serious safety issue that residents encounter. "When crossing Brook Road, you have to put your life in your own hands to get across there because the traffic just keeps on getting worse and worse. We do have countdown clocks and sensors at the stoplights now to help us but it's not enough," said Montgomery. Montgomery has been lobbying for years to see changes made and has dealt with defeat before. His hopes were raised in 2005 when Henrico officials allocated $500,000 toward the project, but when funds from VDOT fell through, so did the transportation fix. The corridor enhancements have an expected completion date of November 2012. Until then, Montgomery is going to be patient and hope that his continued efforts and optimism will lead to positive changes for himself and the residents of Hollybrook. "It isn't going to hit me until i see the improvements and I see them putting in the changes," he said. |

Missed Connection: Lady Working At Quizno's
Date: 2008-07-02, 6:29PM CDT
Underground Man said, "Don't put entrails in the cup." Apparently he prefers his offal jokes to be tasteful. So you can blame him that there are no delicious delicious entrails floating in milk broth. I think of my phone like I think of my toilet. Once every three years, I peer into its darkest, most mold-encrusted corners and briefly contemplate cleaning it. I scrape off two layers of caked shit-dust and gag. Then I give up. Also, I rub my face against it, but that is a story for another day. "All right, we just had a wonderful meal courtesy of our challenger. Now it's time to see if our own Iron Chef College can top him. Chef Kiwi, are you prepared to present your meal?" "Yes, for the first course I've prepared oriental flavored Ramen with a side of steamed broccoli." |
