Chesapeake Utilities Corporation Announces Officer Appointments
DOVER, Del., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — John R. Schimkaitis, Vice Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (NYSE: CPK), announced that the Board of Directors appointed Matthew Kim to Assistant Vice President of the Company at their meeting yesterday. In addition, Kevin J. Webber and Jeffrey S. Sylvester have been appointed to Vice Presidents of Florida Public Utilities Company (FPU); and Sean Garguilo has been appointed to Assistant Vice President of BravePoint®. These appointments are effective immediately.
"These appointments reflect continued strengthening of our leadership team, both at a corporate level and within our subsidiaries," said Schimkaitis. "The appointments reflect the Board and the senior management team's appreciation of their contributions to the Company, and confidence in their continuing leadership and contributions in the future."
Matthew Kim's appointment to Assistant Vice President of the Company reflects the expertise and contributions that he has made since joining Chesapeake in 2009. "The recent merger with Florida Public Utilities required us to move quickly to integrate systems and financial reporting processes across both FPU and Chesapeake," said Michael P. McMasters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Chesapeake. "While much remains to be done, Matt's oversight of these areas and his technical knowledge have been instrumental to our success in the integration of our systems and processes."
Mr. Kim joined Chesapeake in March 2009 as Controller overseeing all business unit accounting and financial reporting processes within the Company. In addition, he has responsibility for the development, communication and implementation of accounting and tax policies and procedures within the Company. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Kim was a Vice President and Assistant Controller for The Carlyle Group, a global private equity firm based in Washington, D.C., where he managed the U.S. corporate accounting team responsible for maintaining approximately 50 ledgers. Prior to joining The Carlyle Group, Mr. Kim was employed by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, where he held the position of Senior Manager.
Kevin Webber will direct Florida Public Utilities' overall sales and marketing efforts and its natural gas and propane operations in his position as FPU Vice President of Business Development and Gas Operations. "Kevin brings solid operational management skills, a great sense of how to position companies to take advantage of market opportunities, and a national view of the energy industry that will be a tremendous asset for our Florida operations and throughout the corporation," said Mr. McMasters.
With more than twenty-five years of utility and energy experience, Mr. Webber comes to Chesapeake from TECO Energy where, over the past ten years, he served in several management positions, most recently as General Manager of TECO Partners (an unregulated sales and marketing affiliate) and Director of Sales and Marketing for Tampa Electric. Prior to his time with TECO Energy, Mr. Webber held several operations and marketing positions in NUI Corporation's natural gas utilities in Florida and North Carolina. Mr. Webber has played an active role in numerous state and national energy associations. He serves on the Board of the Florida Natural Gas Association, is active on several Southern Gas Association and American Gas Association committees, and is a founding Board member of the National Council for Responsible Energy.
Jeff Sylvester's promotion to FPU Vice President of Customer Care is the result of his focus on process improvements, his technical knowledge, and his experience and contributions throughout multiple areas of the Company. "Jeff has taken on positions of increasing complexity and responsibility for the Company and performed in an outstanding manner in each assignment," noted Mr. McMasters. "Over the past several months, he has played a key role in the post-merger integration process to combine our Central Florida Gas and Florida Public Utilities operations. Of particular importance has been his oversight of the customer information and billing system conversion in Florida and the creation of a statewide Customer Care organizational unit," he added. "In his new role, I am certain that Jeff will continue to make significant contributions to our efforts to grow the Company's business in Florida."
Over the past six years, Mr. Sylvester successfully directed Chesapeake's corporate Business Analysis group and IT Department; served as General Manager of Peninsula Energy Services Company, Inc., Chesapeake's unregulated gas marketing affiliate; and most recently, held the position of Assistant Regional Manager for Florida Operations. Prior to joining Chesapeake, Mr. Sylvester spent the first ten years of his career in various finance roles at Plantronics, GTE Data Services, and ThruPoint, a start-up IT consulting company.
As Assistant Vice President of Sales, Sean Garguilo, will be involved in all of BravePoint's technical and sales services including product development. "Sean has been a guiding force in BravePoint's sales efforts over the years and will be an integral part of the execution of BravePoint's strategic plan, including oversight of the sales function for current products as well as future product development initiatives," stated Mr. McMasters.
Mr. Garguilo has served as BravePoint's Director of Sales for the Progress Division since 2008. He joined BravePoint in 1998 as a Technical Recruiter and has held various sales related positions over the years. He has been instrumental in helping to develop and launch BravePoint's successful Managed Database and Business Intelligence practices.
FPU and BravePoint are wholly owned subsidiaries of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. Headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, FPU distributes natural gas, propane and electric services to approximately 100,000 customers in growing markets throughout Florida. Operating from Norcross, Georgia, BravePoint provides domestic and international customers with a comprehensive suite of technology-related business services and solutions, including managed database administration services, consulting, training and application development for both enterprise and e-business applications.

The Reel Recovery retreat stands in stark contrast to the environment participants have been living with. All are men being treated for cancer. All have had their days consumed with visits and stays in hospitals. All have been under the care of doctors who are trying to save their lives.
The three day Reel Recovery retreats give the men a chance to focus on living for the moment and putting the battle with cancer aside, if only for only a short time.
"They're getting away from their trouble," Stan Golub, co-founder of Reel Recovery, said. "They're getting away from the battle."
The organization was founded in May of 2003.
Stewart Brown, an avid fly-fisher helped start the program at a retreat in Loveland just three days before he was to undergo surgery for a brain tumor.
Brown understood the tranquility the river brought to his life. He wanted to share that experience with other men facing cancer treatment.
While Brown lost his battle with cancer, Reel Recovery has thrived.
In the eight years since, Reel Recovery has conducted 129 retreats. The program is now a national one and has served more than 1,400 men battling cancer.
The non-profit organization provides the retreats to men with cancer free of charge. For more information about the organization you can visit their website at : www.reelrecovery.org.

How's BMW reliability (thinking 650/800GS) and maintenance?
View Single Post
Studly Adventurer
Joined: Aug 2003
Location: Escondido, CA
Oddometer: 568
Not bashing BMW... just the truth
Just a little background: I have ridden BMW's since 1983 and accumulated over 860,000 miles on BMW bikes.
I have been stranded several times dues to mechanical failures. Since I used to travel long distances, I always rode a well maintained bike. Thus the failures, which were always covered under warranty/ goodwill.
I'm sorry to say the BMW bikes today are not as relaiable as the bikes that I first started riding back in the 1980's.
When I get together with other BMW riders ( I still own a R1200GS), the conversation seems to always get arround to mechanical problems that the dealer fixed under warranty. BMW riders used to talk about the long trips that they just completed or had planned.
It is my personal experience that the new BMW bikes are not particularly reliable. I strongly suggest having a towing service contract, like AAA premier, prior to going on a long trip. It is also a good idea to have a complete listing of BMW dealers in case you need assistance.
The new "F" series bikes look very interesting, but for $5000 less you can buy a totally relaible V Strom. The V Strom may be "souless", but by that I guess you mean that you have a Mechanically uneventful trip. I feel that mechanically uneventful trips are a Good thing.
I have enjoyed ridding BMW's and I wish BMW would stop having their customers beta test their bikes. Perhaps BMW, which is a low volume mfg. should focus on making less models, but making them much better than they are today.
I am enjoying ridding my DL650, and leave the R1200GS at home.

Arms race: Rotation spots up for grabs
GM Krivsky discusses possibilities for Reds' starting five
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- With seven weeks remaining until the Reds open Spring Training on Feb. 16, this is how their rotation looks:
There are two established starting pitchers in ace Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo. Next is Matt Belisle, who has just one year under his belt as a big league starter. The rest are promising prospects Homer Bailey and newest acquisition Edinson Volquez have a little Major League experience. Johnny Cueto and Matt Maloney have none.
That's five young arms competing for the last three spots.
Last month, Cincinnati was one of several teams seeking a potential deal for Orioles lefty Erik Bedard. Since acquiring the 24-year-old Volquez from the Rangers in exchange for Josh Hamilton on Dec. 21, the Bedard Hot Stove ember involving the Reds appears to have been all but extinguished. Baltimore was believed to be seeking a cadre of elite prospects in return, including Minor League Player of the Year Jay Bruce, Joey Votto and Bailey.
"We feel good about adding Volquez to compete for a job," Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky said on Thursday. "But it's always ongoing to look to add more depth and competition."
As a policy, Krivsky does not speak in specifics about potential trades or signings.
Adding another experienced pitcher to the mix could bolster the starting five and also push the younger guys in camp. Krivsky plans on having some lesser known non-roster invites add to the numbers, but didn't rule out doing something a little more dynamic.
"As far as the recognizable names on the free-agent market, we're still looking at that," Krivsky said. "There's still a possibility of a trade to bring someone that has more name recognition."
Most of the interesting names remaining on the free-agent market are a few years past their best seasons, but could offer benefits in the middle or back of the rotation. Livan Hernandez or Brett Tomko would fall under that category. Others are coming off significant injuries like Jon Lieber, Kris Benson or Bartolo Colon.
As far as re-ignited efforts for a top-tier starting pitcher, don't count on it. But don't fully count it out either.
"It's always a possibility," Krivsky said. "You just have to weigh everything. During the holidays, it died down. But I'm sure calls will pick up again as teams fine tune their rosters going into Spring Training. We'll have to wait and see."

Yesterday morning brought the most excellent news that newly reunited '90s heroes L7 are finally playing some reunion shows in the US this spring and summer. I loved the band for all sorts of reasons — the music, obviously, along with the general sense that they gave absolutely zero fucks — but the thing I remember perhaps most strongly of all was the imagery around their 1990 record Smell the Magic. As a very innocent 12-year-old, I'd never seen anything quite like it, and when I saw it on a T-shirt, it made, um, quite an impression. The '90s were, in fact, something of a golden era for risqué band shirts. Click through, and you'll find the results of a trip down the '90s band T-shirt rabbit hole. (Metal bands are excluded because their shirts are always offensive.) … Read More

Don't Believe the Nostalgia Machine: 1994 Was a Shitty Year for Music
It's a strange thing to see an era you remember being regurgitated by the nostalgia machine. The last couple of years have been a constant stream of early-'90s anniversaries: Nevermind! Dazed and Confused! My So-Called Life! It's not like we didn't see this coming, of course — culture tends to move in generational 20ish-year cycles, so a resurgence of interest in the '90s was inevitable. (And, of course, these days culture bloggers just love a good anniversary as an excuse for a think-piece, a trend from which this site is certainly not exempt.) Sure, the early '90s were a rich flourishing of culture after the desert that was the late '80s. But this year, we're at the 20th anniversary of 1994. And listen: 1994 was shit. … Read More

20 Dad-Rock Albums You Should Learn to Love
Dad-rock (n.): 1. (lit.) music played by dads; 2. music made by old white dudes that somehow always ends up on the car stereo and/or being played on the hi-fi at various school friends' houses. Both these definitions probably leave you with the impression that it's something to avoid, and while this is often true, it's not always the case. Apropos of a recent Flavorwire office discussion about modern-day dad-rock, here's a list of 20 AOR staples that are actually, y'know, good, starting in the golden age of dad-rock (i.e., the '60s) and stretching through to the present… Read More
In Praise of Pearl Jam's Massively Popular Yet Totally Underrated 'Vs.'
I can remember the poster perfectly, because for a while in the early 1990s you couldn't go anywhere without seeing it up on someone's wall. It was an evocative black-and-white shot of a young Eddie Vedder, clad in shorts, mic in hand, climbing onto a monitor, against a backdrop of an apparently endless crowd. Across the bottom was the wording "Pearl Jam, Vs. — Fastest Selling Album Ever." These days, you can't even find it on the Internet (although you can see the photo below). You certainly don't see it on walls anymore — I guess most copies got torn down as adolescence gave way to adulthood, and maybe some are still gathering dust in garages and attics the world over. The past doesn't change, but the way we look at it does. Twenty years makes a hell of a difference, really — because Vs. came out 20 years ago tomorrow.

How Ticketmaster Made Online Ticket-Buying Terrible
Picture the scene: it's a chilly night during the Australian winter of 1997. Your correspondent, aged 19, is huddled in a sleeping bag on a Melbourne doorstep with a couple of friends, a pack of playing cards and a crate of beer for company. The doorstep belongs to Ticketek, the Australian precursor to Ticketmaster, and we are queuing dutifully to buy tickets for Radiohead, whose OK Computer tour was announced that morning and is due to visit town for two dates in early 1998. We hang out all night playing poker for 50-cent coins and drinking beer that never gets any warmer because the night is so damn cold. When the Ticketek dude turns up at 8:45am, he seems slightly taken aback that four bedraggled teenagers have spent the night camping out, but he dutifully sells us tickets for both shows. We head home cold and hungover and happy. … Read More
Flavorwire Roundup: The First CDs We Ever Bought
Despite how easy it is to go online and quickly download an entire album in just a few seconds (which we are paying for, of course), there's nothing particularly special in purchasing music from the ether. Gone are the days of driving to the mall to browse through the racks of CDs at Camelot Music and Sam Goody; no longer can we fill out multiple Columbia House order forms for seemingly free albums. CDs were the last physical music objects, and our first purchases say a lot about us as much and the time in which we grew up. (For the record, I like to tell everyone my first CD was the Reality Bites soundtrack, but it was, regrettably, the revival Broadway cast recording of Grease! featuring Brooke Shields as Rizzo.) I asked a few friends from across the Internet to share their first CD purchases. Click through after the jump, and share your stories in the comments! … Read More

District 3 brought Nicole Scherzinger to tears with their performance on tonight's X Factor.
District 3's performance left Nicole in tears. Copyright: [rex]
After last week's negative comments from pretty much all the judges, we were crossing every one of our fingers and toes that the boys would smash it.
Luckily, they did just that!
The boys managed to tear the house down with a flawless performance... not literally: that would have been a whole separate story.
[Related story: District3's Dan exclusively chats to omg! about textgate]
[Related story: Mickey Parsons looks JUST like Jahmene Douglas]
They boys whipped out a bit of Eric Clapton Tears in Heaven, a song choice that got one judge grasping at the tissue box.
Yep, Nicole Scherzinger literally broke down in tears saying that the song means something special to her.
And if watching X Factor for the last ten years has taught us anything, it's that a sobbing judge means one thing: a definite pass to next week!
District 3 mid smashing it. Copyright: [rex]
So with District 3 seriously upping their game we think there is a definite battle of the boy bands emerging on this year's show.
Union J put on an equally strong performance which has left us split between the two - however, we think District 3 might have our vote tonight.
Gary Barlow however, is still not convinced and said that he reckons Union J 'have the edge' and that District 3 'lack something'.
And according to the bookies the boys are the favourite to go this week, but we get the feeling those odds were compiled before tonight's amaze performance.

Network Thermostat announces the iPhone App for the Net/X Wi-Fi & Ethernet Thermostats
Grapevine, TX, Dec 31, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Network Thermostat and Remote Thermostat introduce the official iOS app for controlling Network Thermostat's Net/X Wi-Fi and Ethernet communicating thermostats: "The world's most flexible Internet thermostat platforms" and winner of the WFX 2012 Best HVAC Product award.
With the iPhone app the end user can control an almost limitless number of thermostats anywhere in the home -- or anywhere in the world. Heating, air conditioning, fan modes, vacation schedules, override programmed schedules and more...
Because the Net/X Wi-Fi units and IP units are LAN-connected thermostats, secure connection and control can occur from anywhere inside the home or business, and connection from the Internet if you're not at the thermostat's location. In addition to the app, controlling multiple thermostats is as easy as controlling one. Users have multiple options of using the free Internet-based Net/X(TM) Remote Device login tool, free Net/X(TM) Device Explorer tool for on-site LANs (both tools will list all of the users' thermostats), the free Enterprise-Class Net/X Command Center software for drag-and-drop scheduling and control of multiple thermostats.
The Net/X thermostats have universal equipment control for conventional gas/electric, heat pump (including dual fuel), electric, and hydronic heat systems. The thermostats engage both residential and commercial features, including Smart Schedule Recovery(TM) which allows intelligent temperature recovery, Efficient Equipment Restart(TM) which efficiently staggers scheduled start times to eliminate multiple units starting at once, adjustable override time and min/max setpoints, fan recirculation, vacation scheduling, keypad lockout, and many more powerful features.
Availability iPhone App - This App is available immediately at the Apple App Store.
Net/X Wi-Fi Thermostats - The entire line of Net/X Wi-Fi thermostats is available through an ever-growing network of online retailers, HVAC distributors and contractors. Detailed information on this product, and NetworkThermostat's industry leading network solutions can be found on the web at:

Be honest.... Am I being a brat? Or are my desires justified?
Mom to Kyle (6) and Paige (2) and Alex 1/11/13
Is it worth it to keep them from coming here to meet your little one and be supportive to you and your BF?
Me (35) DH (30)
My very own parents are getting a hotel room when they come for baby. It was my mom's idea and I'm so Happy. You don't want to have to fuss over guest when all you really want to do is sleep and hang out with Baby and hubby. Your Home, your rules!! And if mama aint' happy, no body happy!
But How you explain it is very important. "We would love for you to visit us during this time. I can help you find cheap lodging if you like (expeida negotiator). We want this time to be special family bonding time at home. " You might want to through in.. "If you'd like to come later in the year after the initial month, we would love to host you here... "
Sugar coat it some and talk a lot about family bonding time. I hope they are understanding people with a child of their own. :D
Nutmeg has many layers.
After years of trying, and many losses,
We had our Rainbow baby. Fingers crossed for Baby #2
Understand it may be my hormones, so I'm really debating the situation.

Happy National Boss Day! The holiday was first celebrated in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski. She felt bad about forgetting her boss's birthday, so she registered the date as a holiday. (Her boss was also her dad.)

Last week, Justin Timberlake appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie role. After the interview, the pair launched into a fully choreographed hip-hop medley that has come to be known as "The History of Rap" (although it focuses heavily on late 80's, 90's, and 2000's songs -- this is by no means a full history).
Fallon and Timberlake trade off the MC role, as The Roots (Fallon's house band) provide backup. It's fun, it's impressive (who knew Fallon was a song-and-dance man??),... READ ON

TV's favorite stone-age family first visited our living rooms on September 30, 1960.

You'd think that Producer Chuck Lorre would have enough of a forum to speak his mind, considering that he created the two popular CBS sitcoms Two and A Half Men and The Big Bang Theory. Apparently not, though, because he also takes the opportunity each week to share his thoughts during the credits of those shows.
As Slate explains, rather than airing a logo for his production company, Lorre caps off each episode with a brand new "Vanity Card" for a few split seconds at the end of his shows. These... READ ON

This delightful 15-minute video features a young Jim Henson explaining puppet-making (and thus Muppet-making) in 1969. This was made before Sesame Street went on the air later that year. It's part of a locally produced show for kids, and the production values are amazing. My favorite part is when Henson creates a Kermit-ish character with hat and cowboy voice, around ten minutes in. Just after that, we see an early appearance of Rufus, the shaggy white dog. Here's what Iowa Public Television has to... READ ON

I agree with Zap and I believe that he is a lawyer.
It doesn't, depending on the rights. To be unconstitutional, the rights taken away have to be provided for by the Constitution. Homosexuals, whether you like it or not, are not protected under the federal Constitution, nor under most state constitutions.Quote:
Maybe someone with a law background can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a protected class for it to be unconstitutional to take your rights away. If a state voted in a law that banned people under 5'2'' from being teachers I'd imagine it would be deemed unconstitutional in court even though people under 5'2'' are not a protected class.
Zapp's legal argument is completely right. If homosexuals are so concerned about their right as a group, with that group being classified by sexual preference then they should band together & seek a constitutional amendment.
By the same token that amendment would have to protect the sexual preference rights of heterosexuals as well.
The rest of the debate is just moral, not legal.
Gays seek marriage as a way of legitimizing their lifestyle. I find 2 things very funny & interesting:
1) I beleive that by informal poll that only about 1 to 2 % of the US population calls itself gay. I find it interesting that such a smaller minority sucks up a disportionate amount of attention in the media.
2) The main thing a marriage gives you is the LEGAL right to call your spouses stuff YOUR STUFF. Husbands & Wives are afforded specific rights that boyfriends & girlfriends are NOT. It also gives you the OPTION of a joint tax filing which can save you money.
If gays were really interested in those 2 advantages that marriage brings you then I would make a suggestion that I have already explored & executed:
As a couple create a S corporation & then put all purchases thorough that corporation. You can issue shares 50/50. It is A LOT easier to create & liquidate then a marriage!!!!
Also nothing is stopping gays from having a WEDDING. They just don't get the license but a S corp would give them a certain amount of legal binding & protection.
Most gay people of the male sex still self-identify as males.
The most disturbing thing about this thread, is the AD.
It is not about tax savings or pushing a lifestyle, it is about not wanting to be discriminated against by the state.
As far as Maine rejecting this I am disappointed. Speaking as an elitist liberal New Englander, I truly thought that this area of the country is more progressive than elsewhere. I also feel that Maine's no votes contain a higher percentage of people who just don't like homosexuals and voted against giving them rights, as opposed to elsewhere in the country where fundamentalist religion plays a stronger role in politics.
Maybe voters in Maine realize that GAYS ALREADY HAVE RIGHTS! ODH, I am not trying to pick on you or anyone else, so I am not trying to force my opinions on anyone. The voters have already spoken. I do have an honest question, though. What do gays have to gain by getting married other than tax breaks? If they get legally married, what would that prove to them or anyone else? They aren't being stopped from anything now. They just like to tell everyone they see about their sexual preference when nobody cares. I think that maybe people are voting against them because they are sick and tired of hearing about their sexual preferences. Sex is for the bedroom not parades.

In September last year, I made the trip to Hong Kong in search of a Disney fix whilst I awaited returning to California.
Here's what I have to show for it:-
Walking from HKDL's Hollywood Hotel to HKDL.
Self explainatory.
Water! It's so hot in Honkers.
More water... and statues.
In fact, I think these great character statues are in place of the character busts one would normally find in the plaza near Sleeping Beauty Castle.
It takes a while to get used to looking at HK$ values.
All decked out for Halloween.
No expense spared.
Despite being the smallest global Disney property, the detail and themeing far outways anything remotely similar in Australia.
This decoration isnt so crash hot -- just a bit tacky.
Following in Movieworld's footsteps... Park open. Rides Shut. Not the best concept, made worse by the swealtering heat.
Long lines of sweaty tourists waiting for meet'n'greet photos. Why doesnt HKDL have PhotoPass!?!
Main street pavers. Thank god actually, bitumin would have made it much hotter!
Where's the statue of Walt and Mickey?
Wonder if I actually thought I was taking this photo straight!?
Adventureland. Pity I missed seeing this as Pirate Island.
So, there's plenty of nice themeing... and not much else.
This is good.
Takes up alot of prime real estate. The queue/waiting areas are vast, but not really confined to lines. Different culture, but explains why Asian tourists in Aussie themeparks are not accustomed to waiting.
More queues for little attractions. I dare say Tarzan's Treehouse is only in the centre of the Jungle Cruise so that it forces people to actually ride the Rafts, otherwise it'd propably be a quiet attraction.
Jungle Cruise. Very nice themeing in this ride, the differences to Disneyland are also nice.
Another show. Wonder if this is any better on the cruise ships?
In fact, HKDL has a few good shows, in place of more rides, but it makes for a nice change of pace. Seemed to be more fitting of the culture here too.
"You've got a friend in me"... whilst I'm on the Toy Story topic... at least the 3D double feature is finally coming to cinemas in Australia!
I don't have much to compare this scene to until I finally get a trip to Walt Disney World.
My first Small World experience since Disneyland in '97 - seeing as it was closed at DL in November 2008 for the Holiday refit.
"Small" Batman Building -- since everyone was still TDK crazy.
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Purple Koala?
Like castle, like hedge.
Time for a Parade.
This has nothing on Parade of Dreams.
The band was the best part...
...and always ready for photos!
This balloon has seen better days. Dirty much.
I blame Briberry for my latest Alice/Hatter obsession. Although Hatter was noticably absent from HKDL. And despite trekking from Oz to LA twice in 2yrs, I've still only glimpsed them at DL before the Christmas Fantasy Parade.
One of the better floats.
Float reminiscent of POD?
Space Mountain.
Ghost Galaxy. The Halloween themeing was nicely done, simple yet effective. This concept should be adopted on rides in Australia!
This whole area of the park is well kept.
Just like Disneyland. Always fun!
A good excuse to get out of the sun -- all the attractions here are covered/shaded.
Motion blur.
For the Fantasia fan in me.
Cant miss the Castle photo.
All lit up for Halloween.
Ready for another parade.
Hello Jack. HKDL's Glow In The Dark Parade.
better than the daytime parade.
Not quite Murphy...
but the closest thing HKDL has to offer. Making me wait until NYE @ Disneyland.
"Mr. Crocodile, do you like codfish?" -- wrong show again.
Back to the band again.
What'd I say about photos...
Pirates. Always a great way to finish.
Ready for some fireworks.
For the BTS junkies. Setting up for the fireworks display.
CM's on the castle setting fireworks.
It's starting...
my first Disney fireworks show since '97, seeing as winds cancelled the LA show during my 2008 visit.
A good light show...
... the soundtrack unfortunately, wasnt so great.
All lit up.
Looking just as good at night time.
Good night HKDL.
So we fronted up for a second day at HKDL, not that you need one, but it was free with the hotel booking so why not. How cool is the Jack costume.
It's just not the same when its not in english.
Everyone else was doin' it.
Stitch was cool, but Crush at DCA was better. Interestingly enough, Stitch did pick me out of the crowd and gave me the third degree about why I had yet to propose to my gf. Little did he know...

The DMBA Inn of Court (IOC) strives to promote strong relationships between attorneys in different firms and practice areas, provide mentoring and training opportunities, and foster regular and constructive contacts between the bench and bar. Based on the English model of legal apprenticeship, the DMBA IOC involves monthly, team-led programs that address issues of law, ethics or practice.
The structure of the DMBA IOC is similar to other models. The Inn is divided into "Teams," each of which has a member of the State or Federal bench. Each Team also has several "Masters" who typically have more than 20 years of practice. A Team also includes "Barristers," with at least 5 years of practice, "Associates," who are newer members of the bar, and "Law Clerks," who are law students and non-attorney legal professionals.
The Judges and Masters provide strategic guidance, inspiration, coaching and practice pointers to the Barristers, Associates, and Law Clerks. All members of the Team work together to create and present a thought provoking and engaging program. Lectures and scripted presentations are discouraged. The most valuable aspects of the Inn come from the Teams' preparatory and social meetings, as well as the full Inn discussions and social interaction during and following the programs. All Teams are encouraged to get acquainted as a team early in the Inn season. The Inn season ends with a summer party at a leader's home.
Inn members are expected to attend all programs and participate as engaged members, not merely observers, unless an absence is excused in advance. The DMBA IOC is part of the American Inns of Court.
The application deadline for the upcoming season was October 1, 2014. The kickoff event was December 1, 2014 @ the Detroit Beer Company. The six monthly programs begin in January.
This year's theme is "Beyond the Courtroom". We will cover matters ranging from ex parte and social communications with the Courts, to business development ethics, litigation risk analysis, budgets and plans, getting paid for your work, showing your work and public speaking.
2014-2015 IOC Leadership
Inn President: Thomas McNeill
Inn Counselor: Hon. Patricia Perez Fresard
Inn Administrator: Mitzy Sharp Futro
Inn Directors at Large: Ben Jeffers, Elizabeth Jolliffe
2015 Monthly Programs: 6 pm - 7 pm @ Dickinson Wright, 500 Woodward, 40th Floor, Detroit

On November 21, I introduced you to Mark Rembert and Taylor Stuckert of ENERGIZE Clinton County -- two ambitious recent college graduates with a bold plan to revitalize their hometown's bleak economy by turning it into a Green Enterprise Zone. Today, I'd like to update you on the most recent developments of this inspirational project.
Before I get to that, though, I'll throw this out there right up front: You can now donate to ENERGIZE Clinton County to help fund their green revitalization campaign. Please follow the link and give whatever you can spare -- $5, $50, $500, or anything in between. Help make this a happy holiday season for Clinton County and Wilmington, Ohio residents by showing your support.
More new developments and ways you can help, and a recap of the history of this project, over the flip.
As you may recall from my last diary, ENERGIZE Clinton County began when local employer DHL Express announced it was closing its Wilmington, Ohio plant at the end of January 2009, laying off nearly the entire town in the process. Mark and Taylor, who grew up in Wilmington and were on furlough there before a planned Peace Corps stint this coming February, were horrified at the looming economic devastation their community faced. They decided to help their hometown help itself by organizing a movement to turn Clinton County into the state's first Green Enterprise Zone -- a region where green technology could be developed and built, subsidized by state and federal government, thusstimulating the local economy and helping to solve America's energy crisis at the same time. They built a basic website, began sounding out local politicians and community leaders, and started to get the word out.
That's where we left matters back on November 21. Since then, a number of highly encouraging things have happened for ENERGIZE Clinton County.
- On Tuesday, December 2, Mark and Taylor held a community forum to discuss their proposal. A hundred local residents turned out, an impressive number for a town of only 12,000.
- Local newspapers and TV stations have done several stories on the initiative.
- Mark and Taylor have begun to flesh out their idea with specific policy proposals, beginning with a three-phase Roadmap to Development.
- A local high school teacher produced this delightfully amateurish promotional video for the campaign.
- In light of the outpouring of community and media support for their enterprise, Mark and Taylor decided to defer their Peace Corps appointments and will now be working full time on ENERGIZE Clinton County for as long as it takes to revitalize their community.
Taylor and Mark have achieved remarkable things without a budget, but now it's time for them to kick up their lobbying efforts a notch -- to turn the Green Enterprise Zone from a wild idea into a reality. To do that, they need money, and lots of it. They've set themselves up as a 501(c)3 through the Clinton County Foundation, so the money won't just be going into their pockets, but will be directed toward lobbying and policy efforts (the two men continue to volunteer their time for the project). "This initial fund raising campaign will help us build our capacity as an organization to work with public officials and the community towards building a sustainable community in Clinton County," they write.
Information on donating, as well as a snail mail address for people who'd like to send checks, can be found here. If you want to skip straight to the donation page, click this link.
ENERGIZE Clinton County has also opened an office. "Our goal is to use this space as a gathering point for community members interested in being a part of our work to build a Green community in Clinton County," write Mark and Taylor. If you can't donate cash to the group, the group also needs reused office supplies. Here's a list:
•Office Supplies (pens, pencils, paper, cork boards, filing folders, etc.)
•Old Car
•Coffee Pot
•Chairs (office, straight back, and comfy)
•Book shelves
•Anything else you think might be useful
If you don't live in the area, and you'd care to ship any of these items to the group, you can use the following address:
Energize Clinton County
120 W. Main St.
Wilmington, OH 45177
Finally, as before, the most important thing for the future of this project is to continue to get the word out. Make sure to sign up for ENERGIZE Clinton County's e-mail list, and let Mark and Taylor know if you have any suggestions for their project or would like to volunteer your time in person. They need all the help they can get!
If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading, and please help to build an economic future for Clinton County residents by helping ENERGIZE Clinton County in any way you can.

24 September 2013 11:15 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON(ICIS)--Czech producer Spolchemie said on Tuesday that it is initiating a new perchloroethylene (perc) production campaign this week.
The producer plans to restart its 15,000 tonne/year perc plant in Usti nad Labem on 26 September which will run until 4 October, a company source said this week.
The source added that a second campaign is scheduled to start on 21 October.
"We are not sure how long [the second production campaign will go on for]," the source said. "It will be based on demand levels [at that time]."
The company had originally planned a single campaign in October but subsequently split production to two separate cycles as machine parts needed to be ordered due to minor technical issues, the source added.
Other European perc producers include Dow Chemical, Solvay and Anwil.

Submitted by netbuzz
netbuzz writes: "The Yahoo Search site may have been down for a spell this morning, but the company's main site — Yahoo.com — is on quite a roll of uninterrupted uptime: 266 days to be precise. That makes Yahoo the reigning uptime champ among the Internet's 20 most trampled Web sites, according to Pingdom. Google does great, too, but those additions to the Google family — YouTube and Blogger — have had little to brag about in this regard.

The 1909 World Series featured the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Detroit Tigers. The Pirates won the Series in seven games to capture their first championship of the modern Major League Baseball era, but their second championship in the club's history.
The Tigers might have finally won the Fall Classic in their third try had it not been for Babe Adams. A rookie pitcher for Pittsburgh that year, manager Fred Clarke started him, on a hunch, in Game 1. Adams won that game and two more.
The Detroit Tigers thus became the first American League team to win three consecutive pennants, and the first team to lose three straight World Series (the New York Giants would lose three straight Series during 1911-1913).
Ty Cobb had a fairly quiet Series, going 6 for 26 with 2 stolen bases and 1 caught stealing. There is a long-standing legend that Cobb, standing on first base, called the German-ancestored Honus Wagner "Krauthead", told him he was going to steal second, and was not only thrown out but that Wagner tagged him in the mouth, ball in hand, drawing blood from the Georgia Peach's lip. However, an examination of the play-by-play does not indicate that such a play occurred. In the one "caught stealing" charged to Cobb, during the first inning of Game 4, he was actually safe at second due to a throwing error by first baseman Bill Abstein.
The Pirates, meanwhile, ran at will against the weak catching corps of the Tigers, stealing 18 bases overall.
For the first time, four umpires were used at the same time, with the standard plate umpire and base umpire along with two outfield umpires.

Competition Heats Up To Head World Bank
By editor
The World Bank is expected to announce its new president in the next several days. For the past six decades, the bank has been led by an American. President Obama has already nominated Dartmouth College President Jim Yong Kim for the job. But for the first time in its more than 60-year history, there is serious international competition for the job.

With many job seekers using Gotorecruitment.co.uk to find relevant recruitment agencies and recruitment agencies all advertising their jobs not just on their own website but on Job Boards as well, even to the point that niche Job Boards exist to concentrating in specific sectors, means that as a country we can move, adapt and change our workforce extremely quick. This is a major benefit when trying to stabilise the economy and look at ways of increasing our GDP.
These websites will therefore allow job seekers to hopefully find suitable positions by spending a few hours searching the net. It will also allow job seekers to understand the sectors better and maybe allow them to evaluate other jobs that they previously would not have considered. If a job seeker is serious in looking for work, then the net provides the biggest gateway to finding a new position, something we have not been able to utilise in previous recessions.
Even employers can benefit from using the internet, from using websites as Gotorecruitment.co.uk to compare recruitment agencies to save on costs, or by using CV databases that now exist to search through CVs, a concept that did not exist a few years ago. This all plays a massive role in allowing companies to adapt their business model to concentrate in the more profitable parts of their operations in this period of downturn.
It is quite clear the internet plays a key role in helping the economy and websites such as Gotorecruitment.co.uk provides a valuable service to both job seekers and employers.

Officials suspend rescue efforts in mall collapse
ELLIOT LAKE, Ontario The threat of another collapse at a shopping mall in Northern Ontario forced rescue crews to abandon their search for possible survivors despite recent signs of life, officials said Monday, days after a falling portion of the structure's roof killed at least one person.
The collapse on Saturday afternoon also left at least one other person trapped.
Officials said at least two bodies were still inside the building, including a person who recently showed signs of life and could still be alive.
"That person is still there," said Ontario Provincial Police Insp. Percy Jollymore. "I don't know the condition of that individual."
However the building is "totally unsafe" and could collapse at any time, said Bill Needles, a spokesman from the Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team. He said the building has deteriorated so much that a rescue mission would be too risky.
Needles earlier confirmed one person had died and said crews used a remote device called the life detector to determine a person was breathing as of 4 a.m. Monday. But he said it was too unsafe to send someone in to rescue the victim or any others who might be trapped.
"I would have liked to explore that but to put an OPP officer in a crane and drop him in a bucket into the ruined structure to do that examination - and then put a team of safety officers on the roof - I just can't do that," Needles told a news conference.
"Our team is certainly not happy. I'm not happy, nobody's happy that we have to stop work, but that's unfortunately the way that we've had to end this situation."
Jollymore said officers are still trying to determine how many others are missing. A list of names submitted by concerned citizens has been fluctuating dramatically since the accident, he said, adding at least two have remained constant.
"We do have two names of people who are known to be in the mall," Jollymore said. "Their names have never disappeared on the list."
Needles said local officials will resume control of the site, which is under investigation by the Ontario Ministry of Labour. Ministry officials will issue an order for at least part of the mall to be demolished, he added.
Needles earlier said the confirmed dead person is the same one whose hand and foot were visible in images captured by a remote camera on Sunday. Needles had said he doesn't have further information about the dead person because rescuers haven't retrieved the body and they are focused on the other victim.
At least 22 people suffered minor injuries in the collapse at the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake when a portion of the roof that serves as a parking area crumbled into an area near the mall's food court. Workers used cranes to remove debris from the structure.
Bianka Manning, a teacher from the local French high school, earlier said she feared a former high school classmate may be trapped among the wreckage.

Since daylight savings time ends just over a month into fall semester and begins just before spring semester ends, we spend the majority of our time on campus in the darker part of the year. That lack of daylight may seem like a drag for many reasons, including your safety. Danger CAN strike at any time, though, so it's always important to stay alert. Here are a few tips to keep in mind to keep you safe on campus.
Keep your friends on the up and up. We make bonds and tend to stick with our friends as much as possible so it's rare to see anyone roaming a college campus solo. If you do get separated, make sure to let someone (a roommate, friend or even your parents) know where you'll be, who you'll be with and when you'll be home.
Be careful with your keys. It might seem like a given but it's important to keep an eye on your keys. They're easy to lose and easy to duplicate so keep yours as close by as possible. If you do lose them, be sure to alert maintenance or campus security, as you may need a lock change.
Don't travel alone in the dark. Most nights, you'll head out with your friends and head home with them as well. If you do part ways, take advantage of your campus security escort service. It's better to get home via campus security than to walk alone and put yourself at risk.
Whether or not we'd like to admit it, our schools are like second homes to us and with the amount of time we spend there, it's important that we feel comfortable and safe. You want to have the best college experience possible, right? Good – just take a few minutes to put your safety first!
Angela Andaloro is a junior at Pace University's New York City campus, where she is double majoring in communication studies and English. Like most things in New York City, her life and college experience is far from typical – she commutes to school from her home in Flushing and took nearly a semester's worth of classes online – but she still likes to hang out with friends, go to parties and feed her social networking addiction like your "average" college student.

Applying to some of the top schools in the country is unquestionably unnerving but after months of stress, sleepiness nights and stomach pains, it all seems worth it when you read those magical words, "Congratulations! You've been accepted." Most would celebrate such an occasion with screams of triumph, followed by an immediate Facebook update or witty tweet sharing their enthusiasm...until that same school you were sure you'd call your alma mater informs you that there's been a terrible mistake and that you have, in fact, been rejected. Is this a nightmare? Nope – it was an unfortunate reality for dozens of Vassar applicants.
Roughly two hours after 76 Vassar College early admission applicants learned they had been accepted to the prestigious liberal arts school, they received emails stating that they were actually rejected. The school president, Catharine Hill, said in a statement, "We understand how very upsetting this is for those students who viewed the inaccurate decisions that we posted online, and we are very sorry to have added to the overall stress of the college admissions process for these students and their families." The school says that though it will refund application fees and is reaching out to each individual family impacted by the error, the admissions decisions are final. Ouch.
Do you think Vassar should grant admission to those affected by the technological gaffe or would it be unfair to the rest of the student population? Let us know what you think.

SunTrust out, Gainsco in trouble at Rolex 24
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. One former Grand-Am champion was knocked out of the Rolex 24 at Daytona less than an hour into the race, and another lost several laps a quarter of the way into the twice-around-the-clock event.
Max Angelelli took the No. 10 Chevrolet to the garage with an engine issue 25 minutes into the race. The team sent the car back out after a few minutes, but Angelelli was back in the garage for good moments later in the 50th running of the prestigious sports car event.
About five hours later, Alex Gurney took the No. 99 Chevrolet behind the wall after hitting something on the 3.56-mile road course and puncturing a hole in the radiator.
Gurney, a two-time series champion and two-time race champion along with co-driver Jon Fogarty, lost four laps during repairs. Their Gainsco Racing team is the one five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson has driven for in recent years. Gurney, Fogarty and Johnson finished 15th last year.
Angelelli started second in the race that began Saturday afternoon. He and teammate Ricky Taylor will still earn points because Angelelli completed 30 minutes of racing, but it will leave them in a huge hole following Grand-Am's season-opening race.
"We've never had an engine problem in all the time we've run the Chevrolet engine program, so this is the first time," team owner Wayne Taylor said. "There was truly nothing we were worried about. In fact, this is probably the one 24 Hour I think we all felt - the only thing we were worried about was traffic, and we didn't have any issues. Really caught us by surprise."
The engines are made by NASCAR's Earnhardt Childress Racing organization. Taylor said the problem was in the valve train, and was "catastrophic."
Angelelli and Wayne Taylor won the Grand-Am championship in 2005, and have finished second in the standings the last two seasons to the Chip Ganassi Racing team of Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas. The SunTrust team also won the 24-hour race in 2005.
Ricky Taylor said it will be difficult for the SunTrust team to get back into the championship race because the Daytona Prototype class is so large in this race, adding that the last-place finish will hurt more than if it happened in another event.
"There's 14 cars. It is hard to make up points," he said. "The 24 Hour, we always have the most cars of any race, so we are losing more points than we can gain in any other single race. We'll just have to go out there and pick up where we left off at the end of last season and just win a lot of races."
The failure also cost IndyCar driver Ryan Briscoe a shot at driving in the event.
"It is just tremendously disappointing," Briscoe said. "The effort that everyone on the whole team put in and Wayne, Max, Ricky, the engineers, all the mechanics - this is a big race for this whole team and proud to be a part of it. Still am. Obviously it hurts right now not to have a shot at winning the 50th."

A look at a company that changed the world

ABB Ltd
) recently supplied 6 Resibloc dry-type transformers with 5,860
kilovolt amperes (kVA) in order to power the Daocheng-Yading
airport in the Sichuan Province of China. This airport is located
4,411 meters above the sea level, which is 77 meters higher than
the current record held by the Bamda airport, Tibet.
The Tibetan airport (before the Daocheng-Yading airport) was
the world's highest airport with an altitude of 4,334 meters,
having the longest runway in the world.
The Resibloc dry-type transformers assembled at the ABB's
facility in Shanghai are specifically designed to resist
challenging weather and environment given the airport's high
altitude. In addition, about 60,000 such transformers
manufactured by ABB are currently operational across the
The reason for the huge success of these transformers is that
they are safe, dependable, cost efficient and eco-friendly. The
transformers are made of fiber rovings, which enables them to
resist extreme weather conditions with temperatures falling to as
low as -60ºC or rising to as high as 50ºC. Further, they are also
explosion resistant.
