After reading posts here, I had decided 5-inch can lights would be best for my 9-foot (downstairs) and 8-foot (upstairs) ceilings. This is a new construction. But, my electrical sub says he uses only 6 inch and 4 inch. He is "willing" to order 5 inch cans if I insist, but of course at a premium.
Are there discernible differences between 6 and 5 inch cans? I'm running at a good clip over budget already and recessed lighting is not a place where I expected to exceed budget. Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Six inch cans are more common, for whatever reason. The difference, for your purposes, is basically cosmetic; 5" cans would be less conspicuous than 6", and that matters to some people. Also, there seem to be fewer trims available for 5" cans. |
We are using Juno 5" recessed with the Wheat Haze. They seem to be a good product and have nearly every trim you would want available. If you click on the link and download the spec sheet for the housing you want, it will list all the trims available. I think the 5" are just a bit less obtrusive than the 6". You will need more 4" cans (more holes in the cieling) to get the same amount of light. I can't imagine that it costs anymore to install a 5" can versus a 6" one, but the housing might be more costly. I bought ours online at Laner Electric: (http://www.laner.com/ ) for less than $14.00 each. Trims vary in price between $6.00 and $50.00 |
Here is a link that might be useful: Juno 5
- Posted by formulaross (My Page) on Wed, Mar 14, 07 at 10:10
From experience, the 6" cans are much less costly, probably because they are more common. We went with 6" Juno's from Lowe's with the standard 24W-WH trim, and the Juno spec'ed 75W halogen bulbs for that combo and are very pleased with the lighting, minimal glare, etc. Did the sloped 6" in the great room. Also used some 4", and one special application for a 5". Got better pricing through Lowe's than a builder's discount got us through a lighting store. |
As stated this is cosmetic in looks. If you are over budget, you may want to look and see who in your area stocks Nora recessed. They are more reasonable and have the selection of trims that you might want. You can check out their website to see if they have what you want. Although their 5" trims do not have the selection as the 6" ones, they do have trims in black, white, nickel, copper and some others. Check out NoraLighting.com |

Thank you for the responses. Very helpful to know that if I decide to make this spendy decision it will be solely out of vanity, as you have confirmed that cosmetic is the only difference between the two. |

Fossilized Giant Penguin Reveals Unusual Colors, Sheds Light on Bird Evolution
Paleontologists have unearthed the first extinct penguin with preserved evidence of scales and feathers. The 36-million-year-old fossil from Peru shows the new giant penguin's feathers were reddish brown and grey, distinct from the black tuxedoed look of living penguins. The fossil shows the flipper and feather shapes that make penguins such powerful swimmers evolved early, while the color patterning of living penguins is likely a much more recent innovation.

Reviews for this vacation condo rental in Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawaii

Sterling, AK
Kalani Kai-Kona Condo
February 6, 2013
We found the condo clean, attractively decorated, spacious and bright for two adults. It was advertised to be suitable for two adults, but there were no other provisions for any other sleeping area. It had a good working air conditioner and a ceiling fan in the livingroom and bedroom. It doesn't have a view of the ocean, but we were constantly entertained by a couple hundred morning doves and some other grey birds. It was fun sitting on the lanai watching these birds leave and return in flocks. Sharon, the owner, checked in on us after our arrival to see if there was anything else we needed. She had identified the location of kitchenware, bedding, bathroom items, and cleaning supplies with labels. There was one parking spot for each condo and a parking lot for visitors. The tourist waterfront area was about 5 minutes away. Walmart and Safeway are a 10 minute walk uphill. If we travel to Kona again we are surely going to check on the availability of this condo or others Sharon may have to rent.
Owner's reply:
These folks were a delightful couple. Really appreicated how clean they kept the condo. I returned their full deposit right after they left. They didn't even rent a car. Everything was so close for them except one day they decided to go for a walk to the harbor. They found out how far and hot it really was and got a ride back. Would rent to them anytime I have something available or even my own home ohana.
Written in my guest book. From Alaska. Great location for everything I wanted to do. Saved me from driving around because I could walk. Just what I wanted to do. Loved all the birds that are in the trees outside the lanai. Your bed is one of the most comfortable we have had on this trip. Thanks so much
Boy you had everything we needed in the condo. It was so clean and quiet. Thanks for all your help giving us directions. Iron man from Columbia
Unit was so nice, quite and clean. Loved the location. Swim everyday without the hassle of parking. Great sea life. Mary S
What a wonderful home and area. It was all the ad said it would be. Had a lovely time. Washington.

golem is too hard too hit i don't know why
Because you need more dex.
I like it, except I've encountered the following:
Upon descending to the green lush dungeon, my weapons changed into a Dagger and Armor, and their upgrades were reset to basic.
Also, after that, my game would stop about 50% of the time that I selected the Legend skill - every combat option would disappear and the enemy would not respond.
1. Exploring is too slow, various events are too slow. Boring waiting for anything to happen.
2. Combat is boringly simple.
3. Too hard even on easy (maybe that's because of the psion class I chose but still...)
4. Game demands you replay it multiple times but is too slow and boring to have any replay value. The classes are too similar to each other to be interesting enough to play different ones.
5. Various bugs
Great game, but there's a bug where enemies can get stuck at 0 HP and be unable to die. They will continue to attack you until you die, and running always fails in this scenario.

British Steel. Love it or hate it, you have to admit it's an important (if overrated) piece of music history. Though it is quite overhyped, the fact remains that this is a decent album – with flaws, of course. It really is much better than Point of Entry and the blasphemous Turbo.
Here Priest scraps the progressive epics in the vein of "Victim of Changes" and the ballads such as "Beyond the Realms of Death" for more concise songs. Halford doesn't scream here (maybe once), though he proves quite versatile in songs such as "Living After Midnight," displaying a bit of variation from his typical wail – meanwhile, the variation within the album is less present than without. The interesting basslines that dominated Killing Machine also have disappeared, leaving Ian Hill with not much to do but fulfill the purposes of his instrument. The drums aren't that special, either. Here it's the guitars that do the talking. They really expand on the album title – this is undoubtedly the most "metal" sound Priest has had (in the literal sense); the guitars sound much like clashing steel. The riffs vary in quality, from the substandard to the awesome, while leaving the solos to relish in their continued quality. The results of these changes are inconsistent at best.
Starting on a good note is "Rapid Fire." With its fast pace and heavy tone, it's a wise choice for an opener. The main riff here is pure gold, as are the unabashedly metal lyrics:
"Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam"
"Hammering anvils
Screaming muscle and might"
The best part of this song, though, is the middle section filled with highly impressive mini-solos. Blazing fast, they grab your attention completely. At the end of the song, Halford holds an excellent final note.
Another good moment is the immediately recognizable "Breaking the Law." Every person on earth and their dogs know the immortal main riff and lyrics. Concise yet effective, the only thing missing is a guitar solo (luckily, some live versions have a great one). This song is probably what people recognize most about British Steel.
The absolute magnum opus of British Steel, however, manifests itself in "The Rage." After an odd opening bassline, the best riff on the album comes in, crushing the listener's skull with its might. "The Rage" comes complete with raging lyrics and a brain-numbing solo. The climax comes after the solo, where Halford delivers his sole scream on the album as Priest "shake with rage."
Unfortunately, the rest of the album is of questionable quality. Take the single "Living After Midnight," for example. This here song isn't even metal – more like a song off Turbo sans a little bit of the suck. Sure, it's great for parties, but so is every other glam song. There are too many choruses and not enough variation to keep the listener interested, and despite a decent classic-rocking solo, the repetitiveness kills the song.
Other atrocities include the nauseously inane "Metal Gods" refrain (Priest sounds bored out of their wits!) and everyone's favorite punching bag, "United."
The latter song is (almost) the worst pre-Turbo song Priest ever unleashed. It opens with a promising riff reminiscent of the title track of the previous album, and then proceeds to embarrass the band with its shameless crowd-pleaser chorus. Its saving grace is its fortunate advantage in quality over "Take On the World."
Once British Steel was through, Priest began the most turbulent phase of its career. Priest could not keep up the quality from this point on. First came the awful Point of Entry, then the masterpiece we know as Screaming for Vengeance. Next we got the inconsistent Defenders of the Faith, followed by every headbanger's nightmare from which Priest never recovered. We may never see Priest's glory days again… at least in the studio.

The room was nicer than expected...the bed was comfortable with clean and crisp sheets, the bathroom was of adequate size with plenty of hot water.
The location, while quite safe, was not particularly close (when walking) to restaurants, groceries, pharmacies, coffee shops etc.
Room was so cute and clean. We were over the street so it was pretty loud. I would stay there again.
Everything was clean and very comfy I felt just like home, their was no noises coming in from the street I was very pleased.
PARKING! wish they had parking but the garage is only 3 blocks away and it's cheap for overnight, so it's not bad either.
NO hotel parking lot... have to street parking and somebody stealing my car license plate
Location is great. Friendly staff.
The building is super old and needs some serious renovation. My room was on the second floor, and whenever there were people walking in the room directly above mine, there was lots of noise because of the super old building structure. I felt like the ceiling was going to crack. Also, make sure you read the description of the room amenities carefully. There is no air conditioner in the room. Just a fan. Which means there is no source of heat. It could get really cold at night. The bed is not comfortable enough, imo.
Even though everything in the room are very old and poor, it was surprisingly comfortable. Free breakfast is humble but enough. The best quality of Marina inn is it's reasonable price.
There were no fridge, no coffeepot, no air conditioner.
Great adorable room with a nice view.
The temperature change of the water in the shower. The blinds in my room did not work properly, called the front desk about it, told me there was a trick to closing them but still didn't work.
The staff is great specially Usha she helped us so much. Showed us how to get faster to places and took care of us in many ways... I would like to send a million kudos to her... Thank you Usha you won the Internet today :)
The noises of the elevator and the strong smell of cleaning products
Good hotel near to the center, clean and comfortable room. I did not have any problem finding a spot for a car but it was Sunday and you could park without parking restrictions. I would stay again if I can back here. thanks
I wish it was a bit cheaper but it's ok
staffs are friendly and accommodating I like the place cow its peaceful
it's just an old place .. Need to change toilet bowl and carpet .. Maybe they need to renovate
Excellent location
Parking is a nightmare. Drove for a hour before finding a spot. Continental breakfast is more of a snack. If ur looking for a decent breakfast your going out.
The hotel is a very good alternative for the very expensive hotels around Fisherman's Warff. Just expect a good hotel for your price !
very nicely decorated, clean, good location- great value for money- surprised!
Not much although the bed was pretty good
Dirty. Need a good makeover and deep cleaning
Loved the local neighbourhood but still only around a 15 min walk to Fishermans Wharf Big room, fast internet, good TV selection
Perhaps it was a bit noisy as room faced the main road. Breakfast was good but same every day. Did us though
When you step into the room, you see the lovely wall paper, the GIANT mirror which was awesome. Bed was comfy along with the ledge where you can sit and read. Really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it. They also had a continental breakfast which was great with eggs, yogurt and toast. Would definitely come back if I'm back in SF.
The price, the staff, and the location were great! "Free Breakfast" was actually, "Free Continental Breakfast"
The room seemed very old and there seemed to be minimal attention of the details such as stains, fixtures, rust in the bathrooms, etc...etc. Other than that, we can't complain since the price was so low compared to the other hotels around the area. Lastly, they should say "Free Continental Breakfast" instead of "Free Breakfast".
Location and wifi
Heating cannot be adjusted in room (central to entire building). Small room facing the constant sun plus the heating that staff will not turn off = sweltering, misery of sweat even on the coldest days with window open!! Other rooms "may" be fine, but they refused to move us!
Great location. Really have no complaints!!! I would deff go back!
The room was clean.
I don't know why but in my room they have two colors of lighting for the bathroom, white and RED. Red light really freaked me out coz it was really creepy when it was turned on. Also they place a big mirror next to my bed... Which is also really weird to me and I didnt feel comfortable sleeping such big mirror. The thing that I didn't like the most was the noise at midnight! During my stay, the room next to mine was really really really noisy because somehow they worked, like fixing the room or thing like that, at 2am! I couldn't even sleep.
The historical look
I did not like that there was no parking. It ruined our trip and we left early losing money on two nights because it was so unbearable.

Why Facebook is Better Than Twitter
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Twitter
(TWTR - Get Report) has had a rocky start to life as a public company, much like Facebook
(FB - Get Report). Unlike Facebook, Twitter is seeing downgrades left and right, and today's no different, as the two companies continue to get compared and contrasted.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali downgraded shares to "hold" from "buy," while keeping his $32 target, as shares have gained 60% since the initial public offering pricing. Squali notes that while he remains a fan of the micro-blogging social network and believes there's growth potential, "we find the current valuation excessive, discounting much of the short-term upside." The analyst is now looking for more evidence of the company's potential. "We move to the sidelines until management begins showing proof of further upside to consensus estimates; we favor FB instead," he added.
Shares of Twitter were lower in pre-market trading, off 1.5% to $41.12, while Facebook slipped 0.15% to $46.29.
Squali's downgrade is all valuation based, with much of the share price right now pricing in the strong growth that's forecasted over the next five years. Squali estimates revenue will grow at a 51% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, with EBITDA growing 92% over the same time frame. Twitter trades at 20.4 times enterprise value to revenue, and 173.2 times EBITDA, whereas Facebook only trades at 9.9 times Enterprise Value (EV) to revenue, and 16.8 times EV/EBITDA, despite having significantly more users, at 1.19 billion.
At present, Twitter generates over 80% of its revenue from fees paid by advertisers for "Promoted Tweets" and "Promoted Accounts." The company also generates a sliver of revenue from licensing data on the over 230 million member network, which generates over a half billion tweets on any given day. For the first nine months of 2013, Twitter reported $422 million in sales, up 120% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA grew to over $30.7 million through the first nine months of 2013.
While Twitter's user base is around 20% of Facebook's, it's growing faster, up 38.9% year over year, compared to 18.1% for Facebook during the same timeframe. "We think the risk for Twitter is remaining a social platform for the influential/well connected, but failing to become a daily habit for the masses," Squali wrote. "We won't have visibility into this for at least several more quarters."
Aside from the user base, what separates Facebook from Twitter is the amount of time spent on both services. Squali notes that time spent Twitter is approximately 15% that of Facebook, with 150 billion minutes spent on Facebook in September, compared to 7.8 billion for Twitter. The average user is spending 846.1 minutes on Facebook per month, compared to just 124.6 minutes for Twitter. "Unless this gap narrows, this disparity in engagement is likely to favor FB with brand advertisers and limit Twitter's ability to fully monetize its user base," he wrote.

Paris Jackson Tweets: Grandma Katherine Jackson Is Home
Katherine Jackson has returned to her home in Calabasas, Calif., after fleeing to Arizona for over 10 days, her granddaughter, Paris, tweeted early Thursday morning.
"grandma's here ! #thankyougod <33" the 14-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson tweeted at around 5AM Thursday.
"5 hours of sleep last night," she added. "been awake for 23 haha goodnight everybody<33 ... time to #hibernate."
Katherine, 82, returned to California mere hours after a court suspended her guardianship over Michael's three children -- Paris, Prince Michael, 15, and Blanket, 10 -- in favor of her nephew, TJ.
On Wednesday, Katherine -- who was reportedly resting at her daughter Rebbie's home in Arizona since last Saturday -- spoke publicly for the first time since her disappearance, telling ABC News she is "devastated" by the court's decision.
"I am devastated that while I've been away, my grandchildren have been taken away from me, and I'm coming home," she said.
"There are rumors going around about me that I have been kidnapped," she added. "I am here today to let everybody to know that I am good and fine ... My children would never do anything to me like that."
The Jackson family has been at the center of controversy for weeks after Michael's siblings signed a letter demanding that John Braca and John McClain, the executors of the late King of Pop's Estate, resign immediately. In the letter, the siblings accused Braca and McClain of faking Michael's final will before he died on June 25, 2009.
On Monday, siblings Janet, Jermaine and Randy stormed the property of Katherine's mansion, during which Janet and Paris got into a heated -- and violent -- confrontation over tweets that Paris had written about Katherine's whereabouts. (Full details here.)
In the wake of Paris' latest round of tweets, her brother, Prince Michael, has come out in support of his younger sister.
In a long message posted to his twitter on Thursday, he wrote, "I would first like to start off this tweet by thanking the fans that have always stood by me and my family, my dad really appreciated your support and I still treasure it to this day. As I am sure everyone is well aware of the events that have been going on. I have been holding off on backing up my sister and her tweets avidly because I was waiting for the time to reveal my side."
He continued:
As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways. Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I'm really angry and hurt. The following image is of a group chat I had started to several family members. This group text message I had started was replied to but they didn't know that I could see the responses. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. "If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truthPrince Michael followed the tweet by posting a screenshot of a text conversation he had with members of his family, including Janet, demanding the return of Katherine.-Michael Jackson Jr.

Magic Johnson promotes 'A Gary Promise'
By Christin Nance-Lazerus email@example.com April 28, 2014 8:44PM
Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson introduces Earvin Magic Johnson during a press conference held at the Genesis Center in Gary on April 28, 2014. | Jim Karczewski\For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: May 30, 2014 6:06AM
GARY — As Earvin "Magic" Johnson squeezed his way into a packed conference room at the Genesis Convention Center, it became clear the media was here for a reason other than A Gary Promise.
The Basketball Hall of Famer who starred for the Los Angeles Lakers was in town to headline a dinner to raise scholarship funds for Gary students.
But on Friday, a recording was released that allegedly has Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist remarks — creating a firestorm of controversy and extensive news coverage over the weekend.
That meant the bulk of Monday's news conference concerned Johnson's reaction to the comments and how he thinks the NBA should respond.
Prior to Monday, Johnson had condemned Sterling's remarks — which included Serling asking his girlfriend not to take pictures with blacks or bring them to games — and advocated for the NBA to force him to sell the team.
"There's no room in society or in sports (for such comments), so it's a sad day for all owners," said Johnson, who owns part of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
As for A Gary Promise, the program will award scholarships to students who fulfill Indiana Core 50 academic requirements with a minimum grade-point average of 2.5. It will also offer mentoring and enrichment programs, student leadership training and career awareness projects at all grade levels. One of the goals is to achieve a 100 percent graduation rate.
Johnson said Gary Community Schools Supt. Cheryl Pruitt was determined to get him involved in Gary's educational future.
"I thought Michael Jordan was tough when it came to pressure," he said.
Johnson's company, SodexoMAGIC, received the food service contract for Gary public schools last year, and the contract included an appearance from Johnson at a fundraiser.
He raised $100,000 Monday for A Gary Promise by auctioning off six sets of Lakers floor seats, plus Johnson himself donated $28,000 and SodexoMAGIC donated $22,000.
Johnson emphasized the importance of education in his life, and he credited his parents.
"I was so lucky that they stressed education," he said. "My dad worked at GM, and my mother worked in the school cafeteria. They made sure that I was doing well in the classroom before I stepped on the basketball court."
He credited teachers for helping him improve his reading skills when he was reading at a fourth-grade level in seventh grade and encouraging him to take college prep classes in high school.
"It's about applying yourself and then, us as parents and the community, providing hope and love for these young people," Johnson said. "That teacher showed that she cared about me."
Johnson has been active in educational initiatives across the U.S. for more than 15 years through his foundation and partnerships with Edison Learning. He's launched Community Empowerment Centers, Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academies and dropout prevention programs.
Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said the city is in discussions with Johnson about possible investment in Gary as well, and he's set to tour the city soon. Johnson's companies have invested in inner-city areas in New York City and Los Angeles, bringing in restaurants and entertainment options.
"It's not a one-hit wonder but sustainable development," the mayor said. "That's what makes me very excited."

(Updates with Motorola Mobility comment in fifth paragraph.)
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. won a German patent ruling against Apple Inc. today that may be used to block iPad and iPhone sales in a dispute over technology used in the products.
The court in Mannheim found Apple infringed one of Motorola Mobility's cellular-communications patents, granting an injunction and declaring Apple, in principle, liable for damages.
"We're going to appeal the court's ruling right away," said Alan Hely, a London spokesman for Cupertino, California- based Apple, in an e-mail. "Holiday shoppers in Germany should have no problem finding the iPad or iPhone they want."
There are several patent cases pending in Mannheim between Libertyville, Illinois-based Motorola Mobility and Apple. The iPad maker said at a hearing in a related case on Nov. 18 that it may face as much as 2 billion euros ($2.7 billion) in lost sales if the court rules in favor of Motorola Mobility.
Motorola Mobility has "been negotiating with Apple and offering them reasonable licensing terms and conditions since 2007, and will continue our efforts to resolve our global patent dispute as soon as practicable," General Counsel Scott Offer said in an e-mailed statement.
Motorola Mobility can enforce today's decision during an appeal only if it posts a bond of 100 million euros, according to the ruling. That figure usually reflects the potential damage the court thinks enforcing a ruling could cause to the loser. It can take several weeks to enforce a patent verdict and parties rarely enforce rulings while an appeal is pending.
The decision was reported earlier today by Florian Mueller on his patent blog.

CA Coast Wonder cruise Sept 23 - 30 Trip Report! Updated and started adding pics!
(I am having trouble with photobucket so I will post some pics as soon as I can.)
When I saw that these CA Coast cruises were not selling that well, I immediately began looking regularly on the DCL website for *GT rates. I knew I couldnt take my boys on this trip though since they will be missing 2 weeks of school when we go on the Panama Canal cruise in December. I, however, really wanted to do this cruise because for one thing, the Wonders time on the west coast is dwindling down. I want to spend as much time on her as possible. Secondly, I love San Francisco and overnight there sounded great! So with dds birthday being Oct. 2, I thought why not do a cruise in place of a birthday party. She is just in pre school so missing school is not as important as her brothers missing school. I went ahead and asked my MIL if shed mind watching the boys if *GT rates came available and she said no problem. Back in July, IGT and OGT rates came out first. I almost hit the submit button but really wanted to hold out for a VGT rate. I saw the cruise before this one was offering the VGT rate and it was only $100 more than the OGT rate so I held out. Finally the VGT rate became available a couple days later and I booked our mother/daughter cruise! Day 1 My oldest son had a baseball game on the way to the port so we dropped him off at his game and then my MIL drove us to the port. We arrived at the port around 10:40 with a boarding time of 11. We cruised right in and just like previous cruises at this port, no one questioned what boarding time we had. We were able to walk straight through the CC line to check in. This is my first GOLD cruise and dd wasnt happy that she got a silver lanyard and I got a Gold one. LOL I told her that when we sail in Dec, she and I will both have Gold and her brothers will only have silver. She liked that! After getting checked in, I asked if there were any upgrades available. I was walked over to the supervisors desk and was shown which 1 bedrooms were still available. There were about 6 or so. We booked a VGT room and were originally assigned 7546. I was told it would be $964 to upgrade so we took it! So we moved up a deck to room 8546. There was no one in line for kids club registration so that took less than 5 minutes to get done. We then walked over to wait in the concierge area to board. Here is dd excited to be boarding soon! I thought boarding was a little late compared to previous cruises. We didnt board until close to 12. Once onboard, I went immediately to Guest Services to get Disney Friends Tea Tickets only to find out they are not offering it on these cruises. Dd was quite bummed about that. We then headed to Parrot Cay for lunch where we saw some friendly faces, Bonieface and Salomie, both servers who have taken care of us in the past. Lunch was good, especially the pineapple coconut soup. Unfortunately, I am always too busy eating to remember to take pics of food! After lunch, we headed to the Cadillac Lounge for the Concierge Reception. It was great to see Tawanda, our concierge host, again. Such a nice man! We chatted for a bit and dd told him how she wanted a Gold lanyard so he went and got her one. She was so happy about that! LOL After, dd really wanted to go swimming. It has been very hot here in So CA for the last 6 weeks or so and today was no different. We entered deck 9 from the forward stairs and I was surprised to see the adult pool and the goofy pool empty. Almost all the table by the Mickey pool were taken. I was able to grab one by the windows but it was directly in the sun. I was starting to cook sitting there and was regretting not packing my bathing in my carry on like I did for dd. I do love the heat but dripping in sweat is no fun. Im sure in 2 days time Ill be complaining about how cold it is in San Francisco! After some swim time and an ice cream cone, we head to our room at 2. The room is nice and I know Ill appreciate the extra room when dd sleeps in (or at least she better sleep in since she always wants to at home!) Im looking forward to ordering in breakfast for this reason. Dd relaxes while watching Cinderella and I am certain she is about to fall asleep. I was hoping to head to the DIS meet at 3 but dd napping is much more important! Soon it is 3:30 and dd never fell asleep and I wasnt about to let her now since we have the safety drill at 4. The safety drill was miserable because we were in the sun the whole time on deck 4. I arrived right at 4 hoping to cut down on the wait time only to realize all that did was put up in the front of everybody directly in the sun. Dd complained the whole time and wanted me to hold her. I told her there was no way I was holding her because I was roasting right along with her. The drill seemed to drag as they said everything in English followed by saying everything in Spanish. I dont recall them doing this before or maybe I just now noticed since I desperately wanted to get out of the sun. The drill finally ended and we could escape the sauna. Dd didnt want to go to the Sail Away Party. I think swimming really exhausted her so we went back to our room where we called home to see how my sons baseball game went and to say a final goodbye before we set sail. Thankfully the boys didnt seem bitter that they were not with us on the ship. They were too busy to even talk much since they were playing the Wii at Grandmas house. We set sail a little late but were finally on our way about 5:20. Docked at the same port is the SS Iowa battleship. So cool to see. My ds7 was in the car when we were dropped off and he was in awe of it. Ill have to see how long it is stationed there and maybe well go take a tour soon. I didnt make a dining rotation request and we ended up with TAPAPTA. I did request to have Bonieface as our server and we were granted that request. Dinner was good. I had the shrimp with horseradish sauce which dd also enjoyed. I also had the escargot, Market Salad, Beef Tenderloin and dd and I shared a sundae for dessert. Right before we got our dessert, I had a very pleasant surprise Pierre, the F&B manager came to my table! I first met him back in April on the MR cruise and he was also on the Hawaii cruise a few weeks after that. Such a nice man! I knew he was heading to the Magic after Hawaii and I even asked here on the DIS if he was on the Magic in July. He was, so I assumed he was still there. What a nice surprise to see him here on the Wonder! That is one of the reasons why I love coming on board the Wonder, it is truly like coming home with all these familiar faces! Seeing as this is a Pixar cruise, the Childrens menus are Pixar themed. I thought I did pretty good on my Dash drawing! So far we have not seen any Pixar characters no were any scheduled in the Navigator for photo ops. Dd decided she didnt want to go see the show Let the Magic Begin because she was too tired. I have a feeling this will not be the first time this happens this cruise. She doesnt have her brothers here helping her get a second wind! We head back to the room to find a nice Pixar book. The letter says it is for being a returning CC member and a Disney Visa cardholder. Im not sure of you only need to be one or both. There will be an opportunity later in the week to have the book signed by Tia Kratter. We then ordered in the movie Alladin II for dd to watch and I place our breakfast order from Tritons for tomorrow morning. I love having breakfast on the verandah which is one of the reasons why I like sailing in a concierge room. The one bedroom concierge rooms come with 100 minutes free Wifi which is why I decided to write the trip report live. My last 2 trip reports were never finished because life got in the way once back at home. Since dd will be in bed early most nights, I decided to try and write each days events at night! Hopefully I can help any future Pixar Cruisers. It is 9:30 and dd is almost asleep and I think I will be close behind her. Bummed that tomorrows navigator isnt here yet. Oh well, I will study it over breakfast in the morning. The balcony door is opened and we will fall asleep listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean. So far, the ship is motionless for the most part and there isnt much creaking noise from the wood in the room like I have encountered in other concierge rooms. Fingers crossed this continues throughout the week.

Biographyby Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Donald Fagen was one of the two masterminds behind Steely Dan, the seminal jazz-pop band of the '70s. Fagen's solo work has been a continuation of the band's work of the early '80s -- carefully constructed and arranged, intricately detailed pop songs that are more substantial than their stylish surface may indicate. His 1982 solo debut, ... Read more in Amazon's Donald Fagen Store

Running a little behind with your electricity bill? Prefer to do business face-to-face rather than waiting on hold with an operator? Never had a checking account to pay your bills by mail?
If using Con Edison's downtown Jamaica customer service center has been your answer to those questions up until now, you may have to look for new solutions soon.
Company sources said this week that the utility giant is planning to relocate its customer service center at 92-15 Union Hall Street in the next two months.
But they add that the new office, at 89-67 162nd Street—which will be shared with KeySpan Energy—will have only three staffers, down from 14 at the current location.
Besides not being able to accommodate the daily traffic flow of 400-500 customers a day that the old location handles, none of the three staffers will process payments, according to the sources.
That would effectively shut down Con Edison's only remaining bill payment center in Queens and force walk-in customers to pay their bills at independent check-cashing offices.
Joy Faber, a Con Edison spokeswoman, confirmed that the utility was planning to move, but because negotiations are ongoing, she wouldn't say when or where the Jamaica office will move.
However, documents obtained from the Public Service Commission, the state agency that regulates utilities, indicate that Con Edison is indeed negotiating with KeySpan's Jamaica office and expects to move in December or January.
"Some customer service representatives at the Union Hall center will move with the center and continue to handle customers' concerns," she said.
Although Con Edison has negotiated with Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers Of America to ensure that all employees can find work within the utility company, Faber acknowledged that there will no cashiers to accept payments at the new location.
"We are still in negotiations right now for some services," she said. "Keep in mind that we have 3 million customers and this will affect only a small percentage of them."
With the closure of the bill payment service at the new Jamaica office, customers can still make payments at no charge through authorized payment centers, which are normally check-cashing establishments and banks.
There are 34 such third-party payment centers in Queens, although only 14 of them can accept payments for accounts that are about to be, or have already been, disconnected.
"It's important that people don't think they are losing something," Faber said, noting that bills can be paid over the Internet, through the mail or at the authorized centers. "We are taking nothing away. There are more options than ever to pay bills."
But that's not how most customers using Con Edison's Jamaica office feel.
Jean Bryant, of Richmond Hill, said that she pays her bill at the office nearly every month and that she hopes it will not close.
"This is fine for me the way it is right now. It's convenient, it's easy. Not everyone can get their bill in the mail in time to meet the due date."
Other customers said that they pay their bills at the Jamaica center because they have spent more than 45 minutes on hold when trying to clear up problems by telephone.
"I only come here once in a while but I want it to stay," said one elderly woman who declined to give her name. "I don't want to go to a check-cashing place. I don't feel safe in them."
Most employees at the center declined to speak on the record about its imminent relocation, but said that they felt that it was a bad move for customers.
Stephen Dagis, a customer service representative and union steward for the center, said that the relocation was the utility's latest move toward cost savings.
"You have to wonder how much they are really going to save. We are all going to keep our jobs and they might save a little money on rent, but does that make it enough to inconvenience the customers? I don't know," Dagis said.
And according to Tracy Shelton, of the consumer advocacy-oriented New York Public Interest Research Group, the people who stand to lose the most are the poor and senior citizens.
"The people who use these centers are not people with big checking accounts. Some of them might not have checking accounts at all," she said.
"And there might be agreements now to keep the authorized payments center free, but that might change in the future."
Con Edison operated 18 customer services centers throughout the metropolitan New York area as recently as five years ago, but there are only four now.
xhe Jamaica location was slated for closure two years ago, but was given a reprieve after elected officials intervened.
The remaining centers are located in lower-income areas, including Flatbush, Harlem and the North Bronx.
According to Faber, Con Edison is also reexamining the fate of those offices.

I grew up showing, sold my horses when I went off to college, life happened and now its been 15 years and I'm ready to get back into it and so excited...the only problem is I can't possibly ask a poor horse to lug me around right now! So, my first personal goal is that I have to be able to mount from the ground to be able to ride...I have done this before at about 230 and didn't feel so guilty for the horse.

Sandy aftermath threatens to cause Election Day chaos
November 3, 2012 12:00 AMSome New Jersey voters may find their hurricane-damaged polling sites replaced by military trucks, with -- in the words of state Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno -- "a well-situated National Guardsman and a big sign saying, 'Vote Here.' "
Half of the Nassau County polling sites on New York's Long Island still lacked power Friday. And New York City was planning to build temporary polling sites in tents in some of its worst-hit neighborhoods.
The Superstorm Sandy aftermath is threatening to create Election Day chaos in some storm-racked sections of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Some effects may be felt in other states, including Pennsylvania, where some polling sites still lacked power Friday morning.
Disrupted postal delivery will probably slow return of absentee ballots. And with some polling sites likely to be moved, elections officials were bracing for a big influx of provisional paper ballots that could delay the vote count in places.
Storm-related voting disruptions seem unlikely to change the presidential election outcome, since the biggest problem areas are in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, which are all expected to go for President Barack Obama. But even when elections officials get polling sites up and running, many voters may stay away as they grapple with lingering damage to their homes, power failures and gas shortages. With turnout projected to be down in all these states, Mr. Obama could see his share of the national popular vote reduced.
The storm may already have affected the early vote, which could be important, given that analysts estimate that more than a third of votes this year will be cast before Election Day. Early voting was temporarily halted in some states. In Ohio, the crucial Democratic stronghold of Cuyahoga County, including Cleveland, had more people vote early every day this year than in 2008 -- until Monday's storm, when the daily tally began to lag from its levels of four years ago.
But the storm's lingering aftermath could have a bigger -- if not always easy to predict -- effect on state and local races. In Connecticut's U.S. Senate race, in which Democratic Rep. Christopher S. Murphy is running against Republican Linda E. McMahon, a former professional wrestling executive, some Democrats worry that storm damage in Democratic strongholds such as Bridgeport could depress the vote.
Several close House races are being waged in areas that saw significant storm damage. In Suffolk County, on Long Island's eastern end, Rep. Tim Bishop, a five-term Democrat, is in a rematch with Republican businessman Randy Altschuler, who nearly won the seat two years ago.
And on Staten Island, which saw some of New York City's worst storm damage, first-term Republican Rep. Michael G. Grimm, facing questions about his fundraising practices, is trying to stave off a challenge from Democrat Mark Murphy.
In Pennsylvania, power was out for 250 and 300 polling places just four days before the presidential election, state officials said Friday. The Corbett administration would not identify which sites were in the dark. Most outages were in the southeast, Lehigh Valley and northeast; others were scattered throughout the state. Pennsylvania has about 9,300 polling places.
Utilities have been asked to make polling places a priority after such customers as hospitals and nursing homes. The deadline for absentee voters in counties that had to close election offices because of the storm has been extended through 5 p.m. Monday.

No surgery for Orakpo, Meriweather
ASHBURN, Va. -- Brian Orakpo and Brandon Meriweather escaped serious damage from scary-looking injuries in the Washington Redskins' second preseason game.
Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that neither player will require surgery, although both will sit out the final two games of the preseason.
NFC East blog
ESPN.com's Dan Graziano writes about all things NFC East in his division blog.
An MRI revealed that two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Orakpo damaged some scar tissue in his left shoulder when he stretched his arm to try to tackle Chicago Bears receiver Devin Hester in Saturday night's game.
Orakpo had surgery on the same shoulder after tearing the pectoral muscle in the final game of last season. He thought he had torn the muscle again.
"I worked this hard trying to get back," Orakpo said. "And when I felt the pop, I thought it was done, to be honest with you. But it wasn't what we thought."
Meriweather, signed in the offseason to fill the vacant starting strong safety spot, hurt his left knee when a player fell on him during a touchdown run by Michael Bush. Shanahan said Meriweather's knee was sore and swollen, but the MRI revealed no major damage.
Also Monday, linebacker London Fletcher returned to practice after missing Saturday's game and multiple practices last week. Shanahan and Fletcher both said the defensive captain wasn't feeling well but declined to elaborate.
Shanahan said running back Roy Helu Jr. now has soreness in both Achilles. Helu had been limited with tendinitis in his left Achilles, slowing his bid for the starting job. He missed Saturday's game and did not practice Monday.

The county signed off on the Charles McGlashan Pathway this week, formally issuing a notice of completion for the $2.3 million project.
The popular Tennessee Valley path, renamed in honor of the late county supervisor, runs along the southern bank of Coyote Creek for a half mile, stretching from its intersection with the Mill Valley-Sausalito Path to the intersection of Tennessee Valley Road and Marin Avenue.
McGlashan, who boosted the project and helped obtain $2 million in funding for it, was an exuberant environmentalist who served on the county board for six years. He died at 49 of heart failure three years ago during a ski weekend at Lake Tahoe.
Officials continue to work on traffic congestion issues stirred in part by a traffic signal at Shoreline Highway and Tennessee Valley Road installed to provide a safe pedestrian and bicycle crossing across Shoreline. The signal also facilitates left turns, but congestion mounts during peak commute hours as roadway and pathway users converge.
Traffic signal timing is being studied at signals at Shoreline's intersections with Flamingo, Almonte and Tennessee Valley roads as a consultant reviews the traffic situation.

Blow-dry bars are reminiscent of an old-fashioned beauty parlor, where ladies would go to have their hair washed and set each week. This incarnation attracts women with all hair types, but the core customer is someone with long, thick locks who wants a just-groomed look, not necessarily pin straight, but sleek and smooth with volume and fullness. The salons don't cut or color hair; they simply wash, dry and style it. WSJ's Elizabeth Holmes tells us about her trip to a blow-dry bar. Download MP3
To Hover Over Schoolwork, Parents Go Online
More public and private school systems are wiring up data-management systems, and school work is just the tip of the iceberg. Parent-accessible websites and "learning community management systems," are increasingly handling schools' scheduling, emergency contacts, immunizations, academic assessments and even meals. As districts look to save money by going paperless outside the classroom, the digital push is picking up steam. WSJ's Molly Baker tells parents how to take their hovering to the World Wide Web.
