Growers vote to keep Modesto-based Almond Board
Growers have voted resoundingly to keep the Almond Board of California going for five more years, the Modesto-based group announced Tuesday.
The board, which dates to 1950, does marketing, research and other work on behalf of one of the state's most successful crops. It undertook the vote according to U.S. Department of Agriculture rules for such groups.
"It is gratifying to know that the work of the Almond Board is recognized by the growers we serve as essential to their success, and contributes to keeping California almonds the nut of choice around the world, and a crop of choice here at home," Chairman Bill Harp said in a news release.
The board could continue only with support from at least two-thirds of the voting growers or from voters representing at least two-thirds of the almond volume. It won 91 percent via the first method and 94 percent via the second.
The board employs 44 people at its downtown Modesto office and in Seattle; Washington, D.C.; London; Shanghai; and New Delhi, said Jenny Nicolau, senior specialist in industry relations. Its budget, based on a per-pound assessment on growers, is about $57 million for the crop year that began in August.
Most of the money goes to promoting almonds, the state's No. 1 agricultural export, in established and emerging markets around the world. California produces 82 percent of the global supply, according to the board.
It also does research on farming practices, food safety, nutrition, environmental issues and other topics. Findings about the health benefits of almonds have helped to drive demand for the crop, which hit a record 2.02 billion pounds in 2011 but could slip this year because of the drought.
A national audience got the message Feb. 10, when talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres did a live commercial for the board. "Almonds will give you the crunch and the energy that you need," she said while throwing nuts at a staffer jumping on a trampoline.
Almonds brought an estimated $1.51 billion in gross income to growers in Stanislaus, Merced and San Joaquin counties in 2012, according to their agricultural commissioners. Several thousand people work in processing plants and at companies that provide goods and services to the industry.

African Art - Currently UnavailableAminatta Forna, a young black journalist, looks at African art through African eyes, as she visits artists in western Africa and interviews curators and scholars. The Paris Exposition of 1900 first introduced African art to Europeans; the subsequent influence of African art can be seen in the work of such artists as Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani. Artists and curators stress the need to view African art in the context of the cultures and traditions that produced it. Museum director Samual Sidibe of the National Museum of Mali offers insight into the meaning of the art of the Bambana, Dogon, and Djenne people. Other commentators are curators Kirk Varnedoe, Museum of Modern Art, New York City, and Susan Vogel, Yale Art Gallery; and Professors Henry Louis Gates and Cornel West of Harvard University.Curator's Comments: Effective in making the point that it is important to understand the context in which African art is created and used. One African scholar points out that older objects are considered more valuable by Europeans; not so in Africa where objects serve a function and thus are used up, updated, or revised as needed.

Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse the target for Raz De Maree
Updated: Thursday, 24 Jan 2013 10:16 | Comments
The Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in April is the long-term target for Raz De Maree following his two lucrative victories this winter.
The eight-year-old won the Munster National at Limerick in mid-October and followed up in the Cork Grand National just weeks later.
He is currently enjoying a mid-season break, but trainer Dessie Hughes is looking forward to his return.
"We're keeping Raz De Maree ticking over and we're looking for the Irish National for him," said the Kildare handler.
"He had a couple of hard enough races so we've given him some time off.
"He doesn't really appreciate heavy ground, so there is no point in running him on it off his mark."

I don't think the PS is as much of an issue as the tie. I'm not a fan of it. I'm not feeling those trousers with this either. Seems to be a pretty sharp contrast with that shirt. This is a rare one from you that I am not a fan of, but the jacket is a winner in my book!
Caustic, I'm not sure I understand the issue you have with the trousers. I've never heard contrast between shirt and trousers mentioned as relevant to anything, let alone as a problem. Can you elaborate?

~~ ****~~ Dance with the Universe let your thoughts flow in the winds Become one with the Creator the moon and the stars Let your visions build dreams and create who and what your are Dance in God's Heavens and be blessed by His all abiding Love Give mercy unto others who're struggling and weakened by toils and cares Pray for grace to fall into their arms ... Like a babe who is in need of comfort from the world Give your blessings to others who may fall short of life's gifts Make sure they have help when others turn their faces to the wall Let your light shine like a candle in the wind- Don't hide it away in the dark from others in need of your light But most of all… Dance freely with the Universe for it shall bring you much wisdom, joy and grace For when you do good unto others - it will bless you three times over in return **~~**

'Electronic music is intelligent music'
Ambivalent, one of the biggest names on the EDM DJ circuit, will play in India next week.
Arjun Vagale grinds his teeth whenever anyone equates David Guetta, ostensibly ranked the No. 1 DJ in the world, with electronic music. "Guetta isn't EDM, it's pop music!" he exclaims. Vagale, a part of Jalebee Cartel, India's premier electronic music act, is one of the many artists and fans who are struggling to hear and play music that's not on the Billboard charts.
If rock was the flavour of the '90s, then EDM or Electronic Dance Music has captured the millennial musical landscape. There are more clubs and venues supporting electronic music gigs than rock acts, and even the domestic EDM scene has more record labels and a more organised structure than indie rock.
As successful as the electronic music revolution in India has been in the last few years - Guetta made his Indian debut in March, Fatboy Slim is coming next week and every weekend sees some popular EDM artist spin at a club in Delhi or Bangalore - the focus has been on getting commercially popular artists. Even Sunburn, India's definitive EDM experience, regularly banks on the 'ranked' popular DJs and acts to bring in the crowds.
And it's this popular tag that Vagale and company are trying to shed and move ahead. "The whole scene has been very commercial of late, " complains the Indian DJ and producer, who has played his tunes in every major European city, including techno mecca, Berlin.
"I want to play and promote music that isn't played on the radio or television and even in clubs, " says Vagale. "There has to be a distinction, and we're trying to tell people that there are different sounds out there. Try something away from the mainstream sound. People need to have an open ear and enjoy new sounds. "
Vagale recently set up UnMute, an artist management and booking agency that has on its roster ten of the brightest and most talented techno DJs in India, including acts like Kohra and BLOT. UnMute also represents Global Underground artists Anil Chawla and Dale Anderson, who play regularly on the Indian circuit. Vagale has also recently established a Delhi arm of the ILM (I Love Music) Academy, which offers students courses in DJing and audio engineering.
Probably the biggest name coming to India amidst this techno renaissance is American DJ and minimal techno maestro Kevin McHugh aka Ambivalent, who plays in New Delhi and Mumbai next week. Ambivalent, best known for fusing house and techno music elements with experimental multimedia and urban installations, is an established name on the international circuit, and will be a new sonic experience for India.
McHugh, 36, who likens electronic music to the 'obdurate' art created by the minimalist artists of the '70s, shares Vagale's views on commercial music. "Guetta is just pop music and it sucks the oxygen of everything around it, " he says. "It's a media fallacy that new trends in pop music have anything to do with house music, and I congratulate the publicists who've engineered that notion. David Guetta has as much to do with house music as Madonna did with punk. "
Electronic music - according to McHugh, who shuttles between New York and Berlin - is physical and simple. "Electronic music is intelligent in its absolute dispensing of complexity, " he says. "Pretense tends to force itself in occasionally, but pretense rarely survives a raucous dance floor. "
Having studied the history of Indian art at New York University, McHugh's maiden India trip is likely to be an immersive experience for him. "I always feel like India has more to share than I could ever absorb. " His views on the current Indian scene are much like his views on everything else, refreshing and honest. "As far as the scene and what it needs, I would have to say that no place needs any more than it already has. The instant availability of music from anywhere in the world and the ability to make and share it as quickly has meant that the doors are wide open. The box has been opened, and there's no putting the contents back inside. It's now up to everyone to decide what they want to do with it. "
Ambivalent plays at the blueFROG in New Delhi on May 4.
and Mumbai on May 5

Brittle is one of the easiest candies to make, and the key is to have an accurate thermometer. If you're not sure, bring a pot of water to a boil and stick the thermometer in. It should read 212ºF. If it doesn't, just remember how many degrees up or down it is from there and adjust your recipe temperature to compensate.
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1½ cups untoasted sesame seeds
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
Grease a baking sheet with butter or shortening; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, stir together the first four ingredients and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until a candy thermometer registers 245ºF.
Stir in sesame seeds and continue cooking until thermometer reaches 295ºF. Add baking soda and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Immediately pour mixture onto prepared pan and quickly spread evenly. Allow cooling for at least one hour before cracking into pieces.

Pathways Mentoring Program Guide
For 2014-2015 Pairs
Pathways is a collaborative effort of the University Advising and Career Center and the Alumni Association and provides:
- A mentoring program which brings together alumni professionals and UNH students.
- A forum for alumni to share their knowledge of the "real world" and provide insight on launching students' post-UNH plans.
- The opportunity for students to develop career networks and skills to become better professionals and leaders.
Time Commitment & Logistics
- On campus meetings/dinner:
- September 18, 2014, 6-7:30pm
- April 9, 2015, 6-7:30pm
- Monthly meetings arranged by mutual convenience of each pair. Face-to-face is best, however telephone, Skype, email, various types of social media may be used as well.
- Monthly check-in forms need to be completed by one member of the pair and submitted each month.
Goals and Expectations of Pathways
Student Goals
- Gain career insight from successful UNH alumni.
- Prepare for the "real world" and its professional challenges.
- Experience the give and take of career-oriented feedback.
- Learn the value of mentoring relationships and how to utilize mentors throughout life.
Student Expectations
- Maintain a professional demeanor at all times.
- Meet or speak with your mentor monthly.
- Fill out the monthly check-in form.
- E-sign the mentoring agreement and honor confidentiality terms.
- Attend both on-campus meetings/dinners (if possible).
- Contribute equally to the mentorship by suggesting goals and topics of interest to you. Help your mentor to help you.
- Communicate proactively with your mentor. Do not rely on him/her to facilitate the process.
- Develop short and long-term career goals and identify action steps to attain those goals.
- Contact your Pathways Team if you have questions or issues.
- Respect and appreciate your mentor's time and knowledge with thank you notes/emails.
Alumni Goals
- Make a difference in the life and career of a UNH undergraduate.
- Connect with alma mater in a personal way.
- Take advantage of a valuable opportunity to "give back."
- Encourage bright young students to become future leaders.
- Network with fellow alumni.
Alumni Expectations
- Maximize this opportunity to make a difference and engage fully with your student.
- Meet or speak with your mentee monthly.
- E-sign the mentoring agreement and honor confidentiality terms.
- Attend the two on-campus meetings/dinners if possible.
- Encourage inquiry from the student.
- Assist your student in the development of short and long-term career goals and the subsequent action steps to attain those goals.
- Contact your Pathways Team if you have questions or issues.
Tips for Successful Communication
- You may find you use a variety of ways to connect; phone, email, texting, social media, etc.. We recommend that you come to agreement about what methods you plan to use at the beginning of the program.
- Pre-establish methods and parameters for contact; home, work, day, evening, weekends.
- Be prompt in responding to voicemails, texts, emails, etc. Professional standards recommend responding within 24 hours, even if it is to say that you are still working on a more detailed response.
- Electronic communication is fast and efficient but can make enthusiasm and emotion hard to decipher. A brief response from an at-that-moment busy person could be misconstrued as a brush-off or lack of interest. Plan to follow-up soon with a more detailed and professional form of communication.
Discussion Library
- We respect that each pair will be unique, each working on different goals in varying ways.
- To help guide your work we have created the Discussion Library.
- We encourage you to discuss topics of your own in addition to, or in place of, those we have suggested.
Questions or Concerns?
Don't hesitate to contact any of us on the Pathways Team if you have questions or concerns, or if communication drops off between your mentee/mentor.

cooking spray
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 1/4 cups Champagne or other sparkling white wine at room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup Champagne or other sparkling white wine at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
I loved these! I used a strawberry cake mix instead of white and they are pretty and pink and taste awesome. I have never made homemade icing, so I just used a can of vanilla frosting. I had to make these for an office party and didn't have time to risk my icing not coming out well. Next time I will try the icing. But, i highly recoommend the strawberry cake mix, tastes great!
Not as moist as I thought they would be. I made two batches because I forgot to add the eggs to the first batch and honestly the ones without the eggs were sweeter and more moist. Not sure I would make them again, I have definitely had better.

These were abosolutely delicious! We enjoy every bit of it... Thankyou for....
This were good I put butter in the mix instead of oil and I put a little may for moist in the batter. I made the icing with whip cream,frosting pack from frosting creations,a liitle butter,and vanilla flavoring.
Wasn't any different than a regular white cake to me and the icing was gritty.
The icing was a bit too sweet, and the cake was kind of odd tasting.
Mine turned out perfect!
The cake is a little spongy but the frosting amazing!!!

New contractors quote up to 40 per cent less, says BBMP
Soon, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) may be spending less for solid waste management. The financially starved civic body spends around Rs. 400 crore on solid waste management.
BBMP's Special Commissioner K.R. Niranjan said that the contractors who participated in the new garbage tenders had quoted up to 40 per cent less.
"This will help decrease BBMP's spending on solid waste management. The new garbage tenders were opened recently and they will be placed before the Standing Committee for Health for approval, following which it will come before the BBMP Council," he said.
He said that with the relaxation of terms and conditions in the new garbage tenders, the new contractors were able to participate, thus breaking the hold of the previous contractors.
This issue was discussed during the BBMP Council meeting recently and councillors had sought relaxation in terms and conditions to ensure that the "garbage mafia" did not get to participate in the new tenders.
About the irregular clearance of garbage, especially from apartments, Mr. Niranjan said the old contractors, who knew they were on their way out, probably were disinterested in segregation and clearing garbage from bulk generators, especially apartment complexes with more than 10 units, in the city. "When the new contracts come into effect, things will be different. Segregation at source is slowly gaining momentum as well," he said.
The BBMP had given Hanjeer Biotech Energy Pvt. Ltd. the work order for the scientific disposal (segregation and composting) of 750 tonnes of municipal waste a day.
The company will set up two units, one at Subbarayanapalya and the other at Mandur.
"The company will be segregating garbage on a private land and then transporting wet waste to sites in Subbarayanapalya or Mandur," he said.
Work order
He said that work order had been given to Ashok Biogreen to set up 12 bio-methanisation plants in the city.
The company had, in turn, submitted a letter of acceptance to the BBMP.
Talks with another company, Melhem Engineers, were in the final stages for setting up four more plants.
He added that the BBMP had entrusted the construction of 20 dry waste collection centres to the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Ltd.
"As many as 20 have been set up," he said.
About the opposition in a few areas regarding setting up of these centres, he said that citizens need not be apprehensive, as these centres are only going to store dry waste.
He said that the BBMP pays Rs. 10 for a kg of plastic to pourakarmikas.
It has also signed a memorandum of understanding with K.K. Plastic and the civic body will be paying Rs. 24 a kg.
"This plastic will be used to lay roads, and a circular making the use of plastic mandatory for asphalting has been issued by Commissioner," he said.
Garbage clearance
Mr. Niranjan conceded that there is backlog garbage in the city that has not been cleared owing to resistance from the communities near Terra Firma and the Karnataka bandh on Saturday.
"We are in talks with the community near Terra Firma and are confident that dumping will be resumed soon. Within a couple of days, the backlog garbage will be cleared completely," he added.

In 1969 Valentine won her breakthrough role as a new teacher on the ABC television series Room 222, with Lloyd Haynes and Michael Constantine. She was discovered by Gene Reynolds, the director of Room 222, who saw her lip-synching in rehearsal and saw that she was funny. She was nominated twice for an Emmy and once for a Golden Globe, winning an Emmy in 1970 for Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role.
The actress later starred in her own television series, Karen, in 1975. She played the title role in the critically acclaimed true story Muggable Mary, Street Cop and was Gidget in the film Gidget Grows Up, as well as many other movies for television. Valentine was a regular on Hollywood Squares, often trading quips with Paul Lynde. She guest-starred on many series, including Starsky and Hutch, Baretta, McMillan & Wife, Cybill, and Murder, She Wrote and multiple episodes of The Love Boat and Love, American Style.
Her feature films include The North Avenue Irregulars, Hot Lead and Cold Feet and The Power Within.
Valentine continues to work in television and on stage. She co-starred with John Larroquette in a 2004 Hallmark Channel TV movie, Wedding Daze. She has starred on stage in many productions, including Romantic Comedy on Broadway and National Tour, Breaking Legs Off-Broadway and National Tour, and the Los Angeles production of Steel Magnolias.

Recipe by Philadelphia Cooking Creme
"You can bake it right away or freeze it for later, but either way this cheesy tortellini bake with a creamy tomato pasta sauce and basil will be a hit."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
1 (270 g) tub Philadelphia Tomato Basil Cooking Creme
1 cup pasta sauce
1/4 cup water
1 red pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese
1/2 cup Kraft 4 Cheese Italiano Shredded Cheese
This was easy and tasty. Plus you can add some mushrooms, chicken, sausage or little meatballs to make it even better. I like the fact you can make it ahead of time and heat it up when you want it.
good recipe we'll make it sunday and have it ready in the fridge for a weeknight meal. I've always had trouble finding the specific cooking creme the recipe calls for so this last time i dumped a small container of flavored cream cheese in and added some extra tomato sauce to think it out. Not sure if you all have this problem too but i can only find frozen cheese tortellini in 19oz and not 16oz (like the recipe calls for) so i just use the whole 19oz bag (don't want to waste) and add a little bit more sauce. I usually have extra sauce because i can't find 8oz pasta sauce so it works out just fine. And last i don't bother buying the kraft 4 cheese blend i just use the store brand mozz. It's cheaper, has more use for the other cheese you don't use & tastes just fine to me. Overall very happy with the recipe and it's in our rotation

Good recipe. I assembled the casserole day before so all I had to do was bake on the night I had company. A great time saver.
So yummy!
So easy and delicious. I added cooked chicken. Will make again.

Hiker4life | Fuji freeway Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2009 | |
I started hike from the 5th station at 5 PM and arrived at the 8.5 station at 8 PM. After about 2 hours of sleep I joined the hordes on the remaining hike to the summit at 3:30 AM. It was only about an hour to the summit where hundreds of people (mostly Japanese) gathered for the sunrise. Clouds obscured most of the views unfortunately. I made the short walk over to the true summit and was back down at the trailhead by 9 AM. | ||

andre hangaard | Preseason climb Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2014 | |
Me and my girlfriend Åsa wanted to experience a quiet Mount Fuji far away from the crowds we had heard of. Therefore we climbed it before the season started. For a proper acclimatization we camped two nights on the mountain. We started out from the town of Fujisan and took a taxi to the Yoshida trailhead. After a night in the lush Yoshida forrest, close to the 5th. station, we continued up until above the 9th station at around 3.500m where we pitched our tent on a little outcrop beside the trail. From there it was a short hike up to the summit and we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise all alone on the mountain. Although there was lots of snow and some part of the trail was icy. The true summit, Kengamine, was hidden in thick fog but we finally found it when walking around the crater ridge. It was marvellous when suddenly the fog lifted and we were blessed with sun and blue skies. One note for off-season climbers though: Be sure to bring enough water as all huts are closed. | ||

HawkeyeHuff | Mt Fuji Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2001 | |
Met my friend Jim Lundgren and his daughter Ashley from Moscow, Idaho to hike up Fuji. We arrived at the mountain about 7pm on Saturday, August 25th after four hours in trains/bus from Tokyo. After climbing for awhile at a healthy pace we realized we needed to slow way down, taking long stops at the various stations, to arrive at the top for sunrise (We didn't want to be exposed at the top for several hours waiting). Met people from USA, Europe, Australia and Asia. I was surprised at the number of people who smoked during rest stops! Trail was somewhat steeper than I expected. We got to the top just after sunrise at 6am. Visibility was pretty poor - it is more days than not I'm told. Descending trail was in great shape and we got down pretty fast.

Walkoutnow | Great experience Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2014 | |
Took the Yoshida trail, starting at daylight. Really enjoyed the trek up, stopping at the huts (which were starting to close up, or make preps for it), trying to converse with locals, getting the "touristic" walking stick stamped, everything. The views at the summit were muted because of the clouds sitting at about 9k ft. However, the weather was fantastic, completely sunny above the cloud ceiling, a bit of a brisk wind, but overall very lucky. Not too bad with crowds going up, but passed quite a bit heading down that afternoon. The 5th station was a mad house at the base when I returned, however. Get in your bus line early, as they fill up quick, and are in short order this time of year. | ||

bwilldur | Yoshidaguchi at Night, No hut Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2014 | |
Wanted to hike Fujinomiya originally but the weather and timing didn't match up, so I elected to try for the Yoshidaguchi trail. Started walking from the Fujisan train station and arrived at the Sengen Shine around 4pm for the official start of the hike. The lower stations were great but hiking at night there was not too much to see. The train of people and the desolate landscape after the 6th was a bit depressing. Altitude sickness kicked in pretty bad near the top and I slowed to a crawl. Summit at 5:30am, just after sunrise. Terribly boring descent and bused out slightly disappointed but proud. | ||

ZeroFC | Winter Climb Date Climbed: Jan 18, 2014 | |
Winter season solo ascent. Second weekend in a row to make the climb - Weekend prior had to turn at station 8 because of wind conditions over 110km/h that would not let up. Yesterday was successful. Yesterdays conditions in terms of wind was much better but temperatures were below -15c before taking wind chill into consideration which showed temps of 35c. Lots of hard snow/ice above station 8. Knowing how to self arrest is crucial. It was more challenging than I expected. Done in a 24hr period. | ||

JeremiahJohnson | Fuji-San Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2013 | |
Climbed Fuji-Chan via the Gotemba Route with one experienced Mountaineer and 2 inexperienced hikers (all Japanese). Left at 7PM to hike under a full moon in hopes to reach the summit by sunrise. Unfortunately, I was the only person in our party that was able to summit to watch the sunrise. We were on the trail for 18 hours total due to the inexperienced hikers needing lots of rest stops. Super fun, although somewhat of a long slog... | ||

One day climb during the first week of September 2008. I remember the weather was terrible at the summit with little viability and temperature at approx -10C.

nicozone | Kawaguchiko/Yoshida Trail Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2011 | |
Arrived at the Kawaguchiko 5th Station in the late evening, and tried to find a open room at the hut lodges within the station. Decided to use the remaining hours of daylight and head up to prepare to view the sunrise from the summit. We stopped at the 8th Station and turned around when the winds on the summit picked up speed and it began to look dangerous continuing upward. I will have to get the summit next time. Can't wait to try some of the other Japanese mountains. | ||

Climbing Japan's highest peak itself was not that exciting, but the view from the top is to die for. For anyone planning a climb of Mt. Fuji, I've compiled a page with the most frequently asked questions (FAQ): http://www.garyjwolff.com/climbing-mt-fuji.html Best wishes !! | ||

The park officially opened in July, but this year there was extra snow, so it wasn't going to open on time. There was a good trail about 2/3 up the mountain, but then it turned to snow/ice. I met three people on their descent, and after that I had the mountain to myself. | ||

I am traveling with a group of 10 on a Disney Dream Cruise in February. We will have three staterooms, two with 4 people, and one with 2 people. One of the staterooms with 4 people has been on a Disney Cruise before. (My room) That makes us Castaway Club members, which gives us the ability to choose our check-in time 90 days prior to the sailing date instead of the regular 60 or 75 days before. (I forget if it is 60 or 75) Now, the other two staterooms contain people who haven't been on a Disney Cruise before. They are also members of our very close family, and this is a family cruise. We would all like to have the same check-in time, so that we can be in the same boarding group, and board the ship at the same time. (As early in the day as possible) How can this be done?
Wait until all staterooms are eligible to check in, and then check in at the same time and pick the same arrival time.
I was a first time cruiser last year traveling with family that have been on other DCL trips (two seperate rooms). We could not pick our port time until 75 days out, but we were still able to get the same 11a as our family members (I was on at midnight the first day I could choose so I made sure I got what I wanted). Once we check in I believe they were give #3 and ours was #4, they just waited until they called #4 to board and we all went on together. and in all honesty I think that the time between them calling #3 and #4 was only about 10 minutes if that so it was no big deal for us.
If the newbies do their onboard check-in as soon as they can (75 days before the cruise) they may get a decent boarding time. If you do end up with different port arrival times and boarding numbers, just have the early people wait and board with the later ones.
Any rooms with Silver CC members (completed 1 DCL cruise) can complete the online checkin at 90 days. Any room with no CC members complete their online checkin at 75 days. The only way around it is to have one CC member in each room. I will point out, there's every possibility that all the rooms will be able to select the same PAT on their respective checkin window. The boarding number you receive at checkin at the port is tied to your PAT. Each PAT does have several boarding numbers assigned to it. I've read that those who select a specific PAT earlier that those who select the same PAT later will have a lower boarding number. That said, the spread between the lowest and highest boarding numbers within at PAT is only about 6-9 numbers difference (probably about 15-20 minutes between first one called and last one called). DCL does ask that, if your party has different boarding numbers, and you wish to board together, everyone wait until the highest boarding number is called.
For the earliest possible check in time, you just complete your oniine registration as soon as you are allowed (different lead times for different CC categories). You are likely to get different boarding numbers at the terminal. But that's really easy, you all just board with the person with the highest number, and you'll be together and off on your adventure. Don't sweat the truly small stuff...it may seem like it's better to get on early, but the many hundreds of people who have later boarding times will also have a tremendous cruise. Savor being together!

Filed under: Education, In the media
This recent piece in the New Republic generated a lot of conversation on our SymphonyCast Facebook page. I wanted to be sure you were invited to participate in the conversation.
Clearly, music education is important to me both personally and professionally. In fact, one of the most important pieces of our mission at Classical MPR is music education on all levels, from helping budding musicians take their very first baby steps with their own instrument in our Play it Forward program, to showcasing the most talented around with Minnesota Varsity, to the continuing-education aspect of Emily Reese's Learning to Listen.
But that doesn't address the gist of Mark Oppenheimer's article and why it gets so deeply under my skin. And I guess what is most upsetting is his smug, out-of-hand dismissal of music lessons for the average, i.e. for those not expected to become professionals. I did have a momentary reflective moment asking myself if we in the music business simply have an ulterior motive of training young musicians so we'll have a future audience.
But quickly, I thought that conclusion is not only bleak, but misses the entire point of what makes music and music making in particular so life-changing and life-enhancing. Simply look at the incredible success of a program like Venezuela's El Sistema, which uses the very act of becoming proficient in music to add hope to a child's life, which may be one of poverty, not just financially but in spirit. These children don't all go on to be Gustavo Dudamel; most of them simply become better citizens, but their lives are forever changed by the discipline, the self-reliance and teamwork required to become a musician, not to mention the whole world opened to their ears of the greatest music ever written.
That's my two cents, and I certainly welcome yours. And if you're finished studying an instrument for the time being and want to donate yours to a young eager musician, you know who to call!

Predictive genetic testing for Huntington's disease (HD) has revealed early cognitive deficits in asymptomatic gene carriers, such as altered working memory, executive function and impaired recognition memory. The perirhinal cortex processes aspects of recognition memory and the underlying mechanism is believed to be long-term depression (LTD) of excitatory neurotransmission, the converse of long-term potentiation (LTP). We have used the R6/1 mouse model of HD to assess synaptic plasticity in the perirhinal cortex. We report here a progressive derailment of both LTD and short-term plasticity at perirhinal synapses. Layer II/III neurones gradually lose their ability to support LTD, show early nuclear localization of mutant huntingtin and display a progressive loss of membrane integrity (depolarization and loss of cell capacitance) accompanied by a reduction in the expression of D-1 and D-2 dopamine receptors visualized in layer I of the perirhinal cortex. Importantly, abnormalities in both short-term and long-term plasticity can be reversed by the introduction of a D-2 dopamine receptor agonist (Quinpirole), suggesting that alterations in dopaminergic signalling may underlie early cognitive dysfunction in HD.

Cancellation question. If I booked a pkg. for Sept., and a hurricane is going to hit Orlando, or where we live (the Gulf Coast) when its time for our trip, and I decide not to go, how much do I loose? (cancelling just a few days before the trip) Do I loose anything if I reschedule for Feb (I know I would loose Free Dining) If we purchased the trip insurance, how much would I loose if I cancelled with short notice? Thanks, I am trying to decide: first week of this Sept or first week of Feb '14. Do you think crowd wise, they are pretty comparable? I know weather wise, they are not.
Disney's policy appears to be - if a hurricane is coming and your flight is cancelled, they will waive their cancellation fee policy regardless of whether you have insurance or not. If a hurricane is coming and your flight is NOT cancelled and you decide to cancel anyway, their cancellation policy will kick in. Standard policy for a package, if you cancel, you lose $200 deposit. If you re-schedule, there is a $50 change fee if your new package costs less than your original one. Buying insurance won't matter if you decide not to go simply because you THINK a hurricane will affect your trip. The hurricane will actually HAVE to affect your trip in order for your insurance claim to be valid. So, if you are going in September, I would buy the insurance simply because, even if you make it down for the trip, if a hurricane should hit while you are there, it could affect your flight home and you could get stuck in Orlando. This happened to a friend of mine during Sandy this year - she was on DCL and got stuck in Orlando for four days because she couldn't get a flight back to NJ - cost her a fortune.
Also, it is rare that a hurricane could effect your entire trip. They blow through pretty quickly and Disney is fairly well prepared. I go cruising through hurricane season because it is so inexpensive, they sail around them and if you do encounter bad weather, it does not last long and they add all kinds of extra activities to compensate for it.
The Disney policy only applies to trips booked through the Walt Disney Travel Company. You would have to contact the TA or third party provider otherwise. The full policy is here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/hurricane-policy/
Sorry, should have mentioned, we are driving from AL. So no flight to worry about. I just don't want to go, if say, the hurricane is going to hit Orlando or where we live. We live on the coast, so we do get hurricanes sometimes.

Just got a phone call from a medical office nearby. I have a job interview on Monday 10am. The position is for a medical biller. I expect them to lowball me big time. However, I need to go to as many interviews as possible. Check out how this convo went: John (caller): I see that you don't have any medical billing experience. Me: That may be true. However, I do have a 4 yr degree and over 9 years of working experience in the business world. I have worked for a marketing firm and a automotive repair shop doing billing, A/R, A/P, payroll, collections, everything to help run a business. John: OK, so you know how to do some softare applications? Me: Microsoft Office and all the other software applications on my resume. (I'm thinking, did this guy really read my resume)? John: Why don't you come on in Monday 10am? Me: I'll be there. Yes, I was very cocky but this character didn't do his homework. Maybe I'll take his job
Ignore the post above. The guy called back saying that they found the right person. Thank God. However, I do have a job interview this Friday morning at 10 with Prestige BMW in Ramsey, NJ as a client advisor. I have no sales experience and they knew that, but they still called me within 2 hours after I emailed my resume to them. Sorry for posting every job opportunity here but being unemployed is not cool and getting good news is something I would want to share to my fellow BMW freaks
Yeah, forgget about that RedZone thing. Sounds very similar to some sort of MLM. I tried something like that once and I ended up going door to door. I HATED IT! But being a BMW client advisor would be awesome. Someone in there who actually knows and enjoys these cars....that's unheard of.
I have to come up with a game plan for this interview. I know the questions they will ask me: Why should we hire you with no experience when we can hire someone with experience? Why do you want to work for us? How can you presuade potential MB, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus, Acura, Hyundai Genesis customers who walk into our showroom that a BMW would be the car that they really want? How can you be an asset to this dealership? What do you think makes BMW stay competative throughout all these years? You are not only selling our products, but the dealership. Please explain what this means.
And your answers are? And what is this job you speak of in Bridgeport? There's A JOB HERE? Since WHEN??? Come on, you know you wanna come to Bridgeport! That opportunity at Prestige BMW would be awesome. Hell, just for that, if you were to still work there in a few years, I would seriously consider buying a car from there just so I could talk with someone who knows their Bimmers.
I have the answers saved in the back of the huge melon on top of my neck. I still shouldn't get my hopes up. They want me to meet the contact at the CPO lot. I just hope that they won't throw me in a 2004 745Li and have me demonstrate I-Drive. Botond, you should buy the 1995 850csi they have for sale at Prestige. The car is black on black with Style 5's and has only 32K miles. Price? Heck, you can afford it. $69K.
Chris, I realize it's on the wrong end of the State, but I'm told that EB will be hiring folks in the Finance Department in the next couple weeks. Check www.gdeb.com Another friend of mine says that Northeast utilities is also looking for accountants lmj
Thanks for looking out Lance but that place is too far . Well, tomorrow is my job interview at Prestige BMW in NJ. Wish me luck
Well, I'm back at my old desk/old job as I am typing this. I came to pick up my stuff and sign the severance papers. I guess the IT guys didn't cancel my user name/ID. Anyway, the job interview was ok. In the end, the guy gave me his card and told me to call him next week. He is going to interview alot of people next week. I guess its a good sign that he told me to call him. However, I'm not feeling the base salary at all. It isn't nearly 1/2 what I made at my last job. I though the base salary would be more considering its BMW but I guess I'll find out if this guy wants me on his team. If not, then I will just move on. Ok, I better leave my old job before they give me work to do!
They told me the base salary would be only $300 per week. How can I feed my family on $300 a week . The commission would be 20% of profits. The sales manager was rude. He was busy texting while I was asking him questions. I was asking him questions that only enthusiasts would know (ie, the last E39's were built 7/03) so I wanted to know what would I do if a customer wanted a few grand off of the price because only 5 months of CPO would be left. He looked at me like I was a ghost after I asked that question. He threw me a curveball by asking me if I would rather work at a Chevy dealership making $80K or at a BMW dealer making $40K. I told him that I do not trust the Chevy brand and money isn't always everything. I would rather sell a product I know and trust so I would pick BMW. I could tell this sales manager and the other 5 salesmen at the CPO lot aren't BMW enthusiasts. Heck, I know more about bimmers than all 6 of them combined . He told me to call him next week so either he will say: 1) Thanks Chris but I would rather have someone with experience or 2) I would like for you to come in again I was so turned off for him being unprofessional texting during the interview and being so uninterested about my BMW knowledge and how I could use that for my advantage selling CPO cars. All he cares about is money, which is fine but if he wants to have his CPO lot exceed expectations he should have paid more attention to me. If he calls me wanting to come in again I feel that I should just blow him off because of how he treated me. I expected much better from a BMW sales manager. I expected a professional business man but he reminded me of a Kia/Saturn sales manager. Many of you might be thinking that the reason why he was texting is because he was bored of me or that he didn't like me. If that were the case, then why does he want me to call him? Does he tell that to everyone he interviews?
Dude, if someone works at a dealership, they're most likely in it for the money. You can't expect everyone at a dealership to be an enthusiast. The fact that most BMW buyers nowadays aren't enthusiasts either is still there, so with an atmosphere that nobody cares around there probably wouldn't suit you so well. I would have thought they'd be more professional than that, but at least you walked away with something positive, and the main reason you attended: interview experience.
I should open my own BMW dealership: Autohaus BMW. I need a shop foreman/master mechanic-Moosehead, your hired. Botond, you are in charge of parts. Everyone else, come on in and apply
Did the Sales Manager mention the "pack?" Betcha he didn't. The "pack"is what goes to the dealership before you get your split. So let's say the profit on a car (new or used) is $1,000. The pack will typically take 25% off that amount. Do I here $750 left over? Then they may charge off other items (technology fees, who knows what). So then you get your 20% (I think seasoned sales people get more than that) or $150. And that's if you get the $1k. I do know several people, in sales, at a few Connecticut Dealerships. Trust me, there are very few sales right now. I think I heard last year they sold 70 cars in a month, now they are down to 30 and have had to lay people off in all departments. You will be churned and then tossed out. Some times things are meant to be (not getting hired by the auto dealer). You should reconsider Electric Boat. Yes it is a long drive, but real income (maybe some medical benefits) are a good thing. I used to be a parts manager (Toyota/Mazda/Honda/and a few other makes) about 13 years ago. I do not think I could ever go back into it. Not a fun gig. So Matt (me), tell us about your job in Real Estate these days..... (hijack for another day)
The last I heard from a salesman at a BMW dealer (a friend of my old boss') was that the "profit" on a car was like $350-$650. You also need to get people into financing if you want to make money. My old boss' brother worked at a Saturn dealer and they chewed him up and spit him out too. I'd steer clear of a place like that. The lack of professionalism coupled with your being a nice guy means that they will probably use you and poach your sales and you will go hungry. You'd be better off in the parts department- at least you know how to use the parts catalog (unlike the people at the dealers here and in Richmond.)
I think the guy's attitude during the interview probably tells you all you might need to know. If he treats you that way during the interview, I can't imagine it would get any better were you to be hired, and his attitude is probably reflective of the entire organization. Ditto on Paul's point too - new or CPO BMW's are luxury, relatively niche items, which will be at the bottom of people's economic priority lists for the forseeable future until the economy substantially improves. Personally I'd wonder about the hours too - I'd guess you might find yourself having to be in the showroom 'til 9:00 p.m. and weekends, as the new-man-on-the-totem-pole.
