"One of the best facial treatments that I ever had. the facial included everything : cleanse, oxygenate, exfoliation , massage and neck and shoulders massage. And hydration. the organic Eminence products used are fabulous; I already order the Acai face cream. After the treatment my face looked younger and beautiful. I highly recommend her.
"He's an excellent provider. I went in in excruciating pain and when I woke up, all the problems were gone. He's got a great staff too. Like any neurosurgeon," it takes like usually a week to get in to see him initially, but after that it's fine. He's great in the office. I've had nothing but good experience with him.

analysisBy Gilad Isaacs
Popular economist Mike Schussler's recently published article distorts the available statistical evidence to buttress a bizarre argument. This is my response.
Schussler's article has three central thrusts.
First, he argues that South Africa is not as unequal as popularly thought.
Second, Schussler asserts that 'the major cause of inequality is not the pay gap, but rather the low number of people earning wage income, that is unemployment is to blame.
Third, he claims that the cause of high unemployment is "militant labour organisations" making "demands for ever increasing wages". Remarkably, the conclusion is that increasing wages for the working poor increases inequality.
The claim that South Africa is not as unequal as often believed relies on manipulations of the Gini Coefficient, a standardised global measure of inequality ranging from 0 to 1, with 0 the most equal and 1 being the most unequal. Schussler argues that if you take account of social grants, education, health provision, and "the highly progressive nature of our tax system" the world-leading 0.69 Gini Coefficient drops to 0.47 - in line with the UK and USA. When isolating those in the "small formal sector" the Gini coefficient is as low as 0.28,...

Homeowner Insurance: The Basics
By JAY ROMANO
Published: April 25, 2004
MOST people who buy a home are told by their lawyer to show up at the closing with a homeowner's insurance policy providing coverage for at least the amount of the mortgage.
After the closing, insurance professionals say, premium payments are usually made by the lender — which typically collects the money from the borrower by adding one-twelfth of the annual premium to the monthly mortgage payment — and so there is a good chance that many homeowners never give another thought to their insurance policy unless they have to file a claim.
The experts note, however, that the failure to have an adequate homeowner's policy can have significant consequences. "In the frenzied excitement of buying a home, it is important that consumers ask a number of key questions about securing financial protection for what could be their most valuable asset," said Jeanne M. Salvatore, vice president of consumer affairs at the Insurance Information Institute in Manhattan.
"You absolutely, positively must have enough insurance to rebuild your home," she said, noting that while that might seem rather obvious, many homeowners do not have adequate coverage. "If you buy just enough insurance to satisfy the lender, you may not have nearly enough coverage to rebuild your home if it is destroyed."
So, Ms. Salvatore said, prospective homeowners should sit down with their agent or broker and calculate how much it would cost to rebuild the home they are buying "from the ground up," and then purchase at least that amount of insurance.
Those who want greater assurance, she said, can purchase a policy with "extended replacement cost" coverage. With such a policy, the insurance company provides a stated amount of coverage to rebuild the home, and then adds a "buffer" to that amount. "The buffer can be anywhere from 20 percent to 80 percent over and above the amount of the policy," she said. So, if a home is insured for, say $100,000, a policy that provides extended replacement cost coverage will provide $120,000 to $180,000 to cover the cost of rebuilding.
Patti Clement, director of new business for the HUB Private Client Division, an insurance broker in Westport, Conn., said that some carriers offer an even more generous level of coverage. "The best coverage is guaranteed replacement cost coverage with no cap," Ms. Clement said.
With such insurance, she said, the insurer is guaranteeing that in the event the property is destroyed, it will be rebuilt to the same specifications and using the same type of materials as the original, no matter what the cost. In most cases, Ms. Clement said, the cost to rebuild a house to the same specifications as the original ends up being more — sometimes much more — than the purchase price of the house.
"You could buy a house in Greenwich for $1 million, but the cost to rebuild it might be $3 million," she said, adding that guaranteed replacement cost ensures "like kind" replacement of all elements of the house. So, for example, if a house built in the early 1900's has plaster walls, guaranteed replacement cost coverage will provide however much it costs to hire a craftsman to install new plaster walls.
Another thing that homeowners should look for when buying insurance is "unlimited building ordinance coverage." Ms. Clement explained that houses meet the building, fire, electrical and plumbing codes in effect at the time they were built. Such codes are frequently updated, however. If a house built 75 years ago is damaged in, say, an electrical fire, it is possible that an inspector could require the entire electrical system be upgraded to current codes.
Most policies, Ms. Clement said, provide for a dollar limit on the amount of ordinance coverage the policy will provide. "Smaller insurance companies might offer $5,000 in coverage," she said. "But in some cases, bringing a building up to code can cost tens of thousands of dollars. And there's no way of knowing how much it will cost in advance. So what you really need is unlimited building ordinance coverage."
Ms. Clement said some insurance carriers automatically provide guaranteed replacement cost and unlimited building ordinance coverage as part of their standard policies. If such coverage is not provided, she said, adding it would increase the cost of the policy by about 10 percent.
Dan McCabe, national marketing and customer relations manager for Chubb Personal Insurance in Whitehouse Station, N.J., said homeowners should also pay close attention to the amount and type of contents' coverage they have for personal property in their home.
Most policies, Mr. McCabe said, establish the amount of contents' coverage by using a set percentage of the coverage for the house itself. So, for example, a policy that provided $300,000 in coverage for the house might provide $150,000 in contents coverage.
Some policies, he said, provide "actual cash value" coverage for personal property. This means that unlike replacement cost coverage — which will provide the money needed to go out and buy a new television set — actual cash value coverage will provide only the value of the item at the time of the loss, after taking depreciation into consideration.
"People who are trying to save money may be tempted to get actual cash value coverage on personal property," Mr. McCabe said. "But it's almost never worth the savings."

There has been much research conducted about what motivates people to give. But most of it is focused on donating to the cause itself and not on peer-to-peer giving. The advice from this research, like "state a suggested donation amount," is good to give your participants for increasing the size of their donations, but it doesn't answer that fundamental question of what motivates a donor to click the donate button in the first place. Our research shows there are three key factors that motivate giving in peer-to-peer fundraising:
In events that fundraise through peer-to-peer, improving your communications to fundraisers can (and should be) a never-ending process. There's always a better way to say something, or new programs and successes to share with your constituents. But it's common that organizations don't update their messaging annually. We know how overwhelming your to-do list is and realize that updating notifications isn't at the top. So we've done some research on this and prioritized each notification's importance for fundraising. By just updating the top three, you can see a major improvement in your event totals.
The Giving USA 2015 Report is out today and shows a big positive swing for nonprofits. Overall giving is up 5% with $358 billion donated. Broken down, individual giving is up 5.7%, foundation giving is up 8.2%, bequest giving is up 15.5% and corporate giving is up 13.7%. Corporate and bequest giving have made big rebounds from down years. Overall giving in all sectors is up, which we feel shows the sound health of philanthropy in general. The strongest growth in giving was to arts, animal welfare and environmental causes (all smaller categories, 8% of all giving) when compared to religion, education and human services (those three combined are 60% of all giving.)
When the economy is going well it can cover up a lot of faults with signature events. A good economy may have served your event so well that you didn't notice problems developing. But those issues become obvious when the economy goes sour and the money gets tight. As Warren Buffett said: when the tide goes out, you find out who's naked. Low tide happened for many signature events across North America that weren't run well. They had a lot of money coming in because the economy was good and it covered up the fact that the event was growing unhealthy.When the economy turned sour, it became the scapegoat for all the event's problems. Now that the economy is getting better many the events are not recovering. That's because they still have these common faults we've seen that they haven't dealt with.
When your event revenue comes up short, it can be disastrous for your organization. If you can find a quick fix for that shortage of money, that's great. But it doesn't really help fix the problem for next year and the years to come. And it's a problem you must fix for the long-term success of your organization.
This article gives you a series of questions that can help you determine where the problem lies. Don't worry about blame. Just answer honestly so you can spot the problems.
When you work for a nonprofit you know the importance of making the ask. But in peer-to-peer fundraising it's your supporters who make the ask. Not everyone is an expert and many times it can be frustrating that they seem reluctant to do it. Here are some proven methods DonorDrive clients are using to get better fundraising performance from their event and campaign participants.
If you think you're "bothering" your supporters by contacting them when not asking them to give or to participate in your event, you're missing out on a great opportunity. Today's supporters, especially Millennials and Boomers (probably 50% of your supporters base), expect more engagement from your organization, not less. If you're not engaging to their expectation, you're not building the relationship.
The day after your signature event, what you'd really love to do is take a vacation. But that's usually not in the cards. There's always so much to do with wrapping up all the lose ends, evaluating the successes and failure and jotting down notes for next year's event. So we've created a schedule to make the process go more smoothly and make sure things get wrapped up tight.
As an executive director, before you can build that better board, you're probably stuck with your current board for the time being. Let's assume you have a worst-case scenario and have a difficult bunch on your hands. Maybe you've just started with this organization and inherited them. Or maybe you've fought with them for years and now realize you need to make peace in order to keep your job and make the organization work. While the relationship won't magically change, there are some things you can do to dramatically improve it.
The right board members that bring the right resources are a necessity to your organization. But it's also important that you have the structures and protocols in place that help maintain the balance you've built. Executive directors can often feel that each committee is just another headache to manage. But having the correct committee structure can make your life (and your board's life) much easier. Committees are also good proving grounds to weed out problem supporters and for proving board candidates.

Conference on aging addresses quality of life
EVANSVILLE - Dr. Bill Thomas believes senior citizens need an alternative to nursing homes.
Thomas said older people don't stagnate, but continue to grow develop, and Green Houses allow for that.
"Green Houses grow people the way greenhouses grow plants," he said.
These houses are developmental models helping elders grow, whereas, traditional nursing homes concentrate on medicine and treatment.
Thomas, a physician from Ithaca, N.Y., spoke Thursday at the University of Southern Indiana during the fourth annual Mid-America Institute on Aging.
"Different providers from the community have come together to bring awareness to aging and ageism," Peggy Graul, USI's coordinator of continuing education, said.
Nearly 400 vendors and guests from as far away as Wisconsin and Oklahoma are signed up to attend the two-day conference that continues today.
The conference has 14 speakers each day on a range of different topics associated with aging.
The conference "gives folks in our community some information on raising the quality of life for persons as they age," Graul said.
"The number of people that are entering their older years is increasing," she said. "It's an important part of all our lives."
Thomas said Southwestern Indiana is ready for change in geriatric care.
"My feeling is that this part of Indiana is ripe for fundamental change in aging," he said.
He said he feels Southwestern Indiana has a strong traditional commitment to old people.
Suzann Baehl of Evansville, said she is attending the conference because she's watched her parents age.
Baehl said the conference is wonderful and enjoyed Thomas' presentation.
"He's got a lot of ideas and concepts I'd like to see implemented before I get there," she said.
Amy Koch, an administrator for assisted living at the Charles Koch Ford Memorial Home, in New Harmony, Ind., said she's attended all four conferences.
She said the most important thing she's taken away from the conferences is the motivation and inspiration provided by the speakers.

Mario Manningham claims he never said there was a 75 percent chance that heâd wind up signing with a team other than the Giants, as was reported over the weekend, but the wide receiver who will be a free agent two weeks from today did put his odds at staying with the Giants at â50 percentâ in an interview on WFAN this morning.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 1/23/13
DALLAS Former NFL star Tim Brown has so frequently alleged that that his Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan "sabotaged" their chances of winning Super Bowl XXXVII a decade ago that the story had taken on an "urban legend" feel in Brown's hometown of Dallas. But this week, with the Super Bowl on the horizon and with Brown as a Hall of Fame finalist, the allegations have gained so much national media traction that Callahan has moved to hire a law firm to help defend himself. Callahan then issued a statement, forwarded to five media outlets (including 105.3 The Fan) from the Nevada firm of McDonald, Carano and Wilson. It reads: "I am shocked, saddened and outraged by Tim Brown's allegations and Jerry Rice's support of those allegations. To leave no doubt. I categorically and unequivocally deny the sum and substance of their allegation. To suggest otherwise, especially at this time when it involves the Super Bowl, is ludicrous and defamatory.

Thread: Monitor VS. 1080p LCD TV
July 3rd, 2010 #1
Monitor VS. 1080p LCD TV
First of all
Anyway. I'm making a big move and I want to have a massive monitor in my new space, but I don't want to break 1k.
One day I was able to hook up my laptop to my Samsung LCD Flatscreen just for kicks and was pleasantly surprised that everything worked pretty smoothly. No problems with PS:CS... Even videos played pretty nicely, and the computer didn't seem to be in struggling any more than normally. I cant use that one though because it is way to big at 52" and I cant sit in the living room doing that all day like a moron.
So, instead of getting a new pricey monitor just for the sake of high resolution, why not just get a massive 37"1080p LCD Screen, and use it as a monitor. It's cheaper than most monitors at comparable size, plus...extra tv!
Only thing is that I might have to move back from the wall a bit when mounted so my eyeballs didnt burn out. And the resolution wont be higher than 1080.
Comments? Arguments?

I'm currently using a 40" 1080p TV as my main monitor. It has worked out well.
And having to move away from the screen a bit is nice, as sitting too close is bad for the eyes in the long run.

You will have a hard time trying to calibrate colors on your LCD TV. There's a lot of mechanisms in modern LCD TVs to make picture crisp and colors super vivid and your produced artwork could differentiate significantly on an average PC monitor, not to mention printing. I'm also afraid it won't be very ergonomic in a long run. Just a few thoughts, maybe it will work out for you.

With close to 4,000 aircraft on order from carriers in Asia Pacific, coupled with the continued boom in the low-cost segment, the region's maintenance repair and overhaul players have a busy future.
One only needs to learn that there are at least 10 new low-cost carriers planning to launch in Asia Pacific this year, to get a glimpse of the magnitude of growth in this part of the world.
A country with an especially bright MRO outlook is Singapore. The city-state today accounts for a quarter of the region's MRO output. Its two homegrown MRO players – SIA Engineering Co (SIAEC) and ST Aerospace – are both working towards being one-stop solution providers for airlines, and have their eyes set on the LCC boom.
"The positive outlook for air traffic demand especially in the Asia Pacific region, where the LCC market will continue to grow and fuel the traffic growth, and its buoyant fleet renewal market, has the attention of most MROs in the region, including us," says an SIAEC spokeswoman.
Though full-service carriers continue to be the main contributors to the Singapore Airlines maintenance arm's revenue stream, engagement with the LCC market has also proved necessary.
To capture the "substantial growth in the LCC market" and stay ahead of the pack, SIAEC says it will be "LCC centric" and provide targeted solutions to these players. One example is to provide these price sensitive carriers with MRO services where costs are lower.
This explains its joint venture with Philippine low-cost giant Cebu Pacific to set up a heavy maintenance facility at Clark International Airport. Expansion is now underway to add two new widebody hangars. Besides maintenance work for Cebu Pacific, the facility, which SIAEC has a 65% stake in, also does third party work.
Besides Cebu Pacific, SIAEC's LCC customers also include Tigerair, Scoot and AirAsia X.
Securing work from low-cost carriers has also become increasingly important for ST Aerospace.
"A lot of Asian airlines have their own MRO facilities. So the interesting thing about Asia is you've got to fit the solution for the operator. Airlines here are likely to take a lot of their own line maintenance and checks and only outsource the heavy work - except for the LCCs, that's why our engagement with them is growing, " says ST Aero's president Chang Cheow Teck.
Last year it won a contract from Jetstar Asia to do line maintenance on its existing and future fleet of Airbus A320s. Though it has supported Jetstar Asia with line and base maintenance since it launched in 2004, the airline temporarily took the work in-house in 2010 when it decided to set up a maintenance operation at Changi Airport. ST Aero however continued to conduct heavy checks for the airline, which now extends to include line maintenance.
ST Aero also works with LCCs such as Korea's T'Way, China's Spring Airlines and Japan's Vanilla Air, tailoring services to meet their needs.
"We have to focus on where the needs are and where we can add value. Now that we have a diversified portfolio of services, we can focus on services that are complementary to airlines, rather than a threat to them," says Chang. "ST Aero always thrives on being flexible and catering to customers' needs. We don't have an airline to give us business, so we have to go and beg, borrow and steal, be flexible," says Chang candidly.
Consultancy ICF SH&E forecasts that overall MRO demand in Asia Pacific will grow at 5.5% annually over the next five to 10 years. The primary drivers of growth will be China, followed by India and Indonesia.
ICF vice president David Stewart says there will be an exceptional growth of almost 10% per annum in the number of engine shop visits and engine MRO demand for single-aisle aircraft. These types will also see an 8.3% per annum growth in airframe heavy maintenance manhours.
Competition from the region
The sheer amount of work available also means that the two veteran Singapore MRO players are facing stiff competition from peers in the region expanding rapidly in a bid to capture a larger slice of the MRO pie.
Indonesian low-cost carrier Lion Air for one is investing $250 million to build a maintenance hub at Batam's Hang Nadim International Airport, a 50min ferry ride from Singapore. Lion has acquired a 25ha plot of land at the airport and is building four hangars, targeted to be opened for operations this year. The facility will also house component repair and overhaul shops as well as an engine MRO centre complete with a test cell.
The facility's proximity to Singapore will give Batam Aero Technic good access to spare parts and services from OEMs based in the city-state. Besides managing Lion's massive fleet of incoming aircraft (it has 237 A320 and A321s, and 301 Boeing 737s on order), the vision is also for the facility to be certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency, so that it can do third party work on foreign aircraft.
Garuda Indonesia's maintenance arm GMF AeroAsia is meanwhile planning to set up new maintenance facilities in the eastern and western parts of Indonesia. A hangar in the west will allow GMF to do heavy maintenance on widebodies for foreign clients, while another in the east will cater to the line maintenance of domestic players.
GMF's president and chief executive Richard Budihadianto has said that Indonesian MRO firms need to grow faster to meet the maintenance needs of the country's airlines. He forecasts that Indonesian airlines will spend some $2 billion on MRO work in 2015. Local MRO firms now absorb less than 30% of the country's maintenance work, with 70% flowing out to firms in the region, including Singapore.
Challenges ahead
Stewart says that though ST Aero and SIAEC are well poised to absorb the Asian growth, they need to address key challenges such as ensuring cost competitiveness and having sufficient skilled labour.
"The MRO business environment is certainly getting more competitive as a larger market share will have to be captured to counter-balance the pressure on yields," says SIAEC.
To stay ahead, SIAEC says it will look at developing more niche products and value-add solutions to extend its offerings to airlines. The firm also expects cabin retrofits and modifications for legacy carriers to be a major growth area, as airlines work to meet passengers' rising expectations.
To ensure cost competitiveness, ST Aero is looking at set up shop where costs are lower: "While our facilities in Singapore will focus on turnkey engineering, we also need to compete with facilities in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. We want to have a facility where we can compete effectively at their cost rate, with our brand."
At home, it is in negotiations with Changi Airport Group to build an A380 capable hangar so as to grow its line maintenance business locally, in line with the airport's expansion plans to cope with traffic growth in the years to come.
The two firms are also keenly aware of the need to continuously invest in new technologies to remain relevant and keep up with the deliveries of new aircraft types. ST Aero for one is United Technologies' aerospace systems division's maintenance partner for its equipment on the Boeing 787.
"The biggest change over the next decade will be the shift of the operating fleet to newer technology aircraft as deliveries of 787, A350 and the neo and the max ramp up. The implications of this… is that MRO supply will become more OEM centric and MRO suppliers will need to ensure access to the associated new technologies and capabilities," says Stewart.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 21 October 2011 10:10AM
Speaking as part of a session entitled 'Creative and Design Evolution' at yesterday's Media Guardian Changing Advertising Summit, Hood explained how keeping the fans at the "centre of the experience" enabled AKQA to create an app fans would want to use while watching the Uefa Champions League football.
Hood said: "We had to accept what we do has to support the fan's experience. Whatever you do it has to support the idea and not the other way around.
"One thing that remains consistent in a world where we're talking about products is user experience is what we do. This is what we create. Without a good user experience products fail. User experience is all about keeping them at the centre of the solution."
The Star Player app, which won a Gold Cyber Lion at Cannes this year, is targeted at people who watch Champions League football even though their favourite team is not playing.
Hood said: "Our audience is disconnected and they don't have an emotional investment in what happens."
The main technical issue AKQA had to overcome was the different countries and broadcasters across Europe do not broadcast the games at exactly the same time so their footage is slightly out of sync.
The issue was solved through a spreadsheet which details how long each piece of match action usually takes and how that changes at different points of the game. "The beating heart of the Star Player app is a spreadsheet," Hood said.
Earlier in the day Heineken's global head of digital media Floris Cobelens told the 200-strong audience of media owner, agency and marketing execs that the Heineken brand can reach out to 320 million people through its four million Facebook fans.

Reports are saying that the next Xbox will begin production late in the year and be released in fall 2013.
Production of Microsoft's Xbox 720 is expected to begin by late in 2012 and will have a GPU coming from AMD'S 6000 series. IGN reports that the Xbox 720 is expected to have six times the graphic capability of the Xbox 360 and have 20 percent more power than Nintendo's upcoming Wii U.
According to sources, the new Xbox will be introducing a new version of Kinect, its hands-free sensor system. Kinect 2 would have an on-board processor, which would more effectively detect a users' motion. Also, the Xbox 720 is expected to have a smaller controller.
Kotaku.com reports that Microsoft plans to include an anti-used game system in their Xbox 720, but it was not certain exactly how they had planned to do so. One method would be to link a game with a user's Xbox Live account, but that can be beaten by keeping a system offline. Used games are a solid source of revenue to retailers like GameStop.
Microsoft XBox 360 update moves closer to Bill Gates' vision for TV-PC
Microsoft released a statement about the anti-gaming restriction rumors that read, according to CNET, "As an innovator we're always thinking about what is next and how we can push the boundaries of technology like we did with Kinect. We believe the key to extending the lifespan of a console is about the games and entertainment experiences being delivered to consumers."
But Nerdreactor.com reports that Game Stop has scheduled a number of store closures in Northern Ireland, and wonders whether they are a reaction to the Xbox 720 reports. Other reports say they plan to close all of their stores in Europe, according to the site.

Public lecture: Perspectives on bilingualism: From birth to aging
Living in a city with many languages, we are often confronted with personal debates about what are the best decisions to make for our children and for ourselves. Have you wondered when is the optimal time and in what way to introduce a second language to your child, or whether raising a child in a bilingual environment can create confusion? Have you heard that being bilingual might slow down cognitive decline in aging and provide a buffer against neurodegenerative disease?

Towers and Terraces : Tony McCorry
- 16 May — 15 July 2015 *on now
Tony McCorry constructs painted scenes of urban British townscapes. The images are not of specific locations, they are instead built up from pieces of memory to recreate a sense of a place rather than a physical reproduction. That sense combines the memories of physical elements such as the architecture and materials, the colours of that architecture, and the forms and shapes, as well as psychological and 'mood' memories like the feeling from events that took place that might alter the colours or tones and therefore the mood of the image.

First World War In Biscuits
- 16 May — 15 July 2015 *on now
The country's largest biscuit factory, Huntley & Palmers, played a crucial role during the First World War, supplying ration biscuits to troops on the front line. The ration biscuits were very hard, but when the soldiers soaked them in water or tea, they became a substantial meal, providing badly needed sustenance. As well as being a staple of the army's diet, some of the biscuits were creatively re-fashioned by soldiers in the trenches and sent home to friends and family with personal messages. Rather than being consumed, the biscuits were transformed into picture frames, postcards and canvases.
These army biscuits have formed the inspiration for The First World War in Biscuits, which is a stunning audio-visual, object-centred installation that explores the relationship between food, creativity and conflict. Included is a unique collection of 100 year-old ration biscuits, personally modified by soldiers, alongside a range of archival materials, interviews, photographs and film-footage.
As well as being able to see examples of how these biscuits were crafted by soldiers, this exciting installation provides an opportunity to hear historians talk about the army biscuit and the significance of food during the war. It reflects on the emotional and social role of the biscuits in the soldiers' lives and explores the broader issues of separation and loss.
Suitable for
- Any age

COLUMBIA (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union is set to hold a rally in support of the Voting Rights Act.
ACLU members plan a news conference for noon Tuesday at the Statehouse to discuss why they think the civil rights legislation is still important today.
The rally comes a day before the U.S. Supreme Court hears a case out of Alabama that could end a requirement for South Carolina and other states with histories of discriminatory voting practices to get federal approval for any new voting laws.
The ACLU said maintaining the entire Voting Rights Act is critical to make sure all people remain on equal footing when going to vote.

If there never is a new Peoplemover, and assuming the new subs and redone monorails are completed, would you happy with Tomorrowland's current state? I noticed since the new paint, Buzz and Space, nobody complains anymore.

If there never is a new Peoplemover, and assuming the new subs and redone monorails are completed, would you happy with Tomorrowland's current state? I noticed since the new paint, Buzz and Space, nobody complains anymore.
Hmmm, you're right. No one has comlained about Tomorrowland in a long while. I guess we shouldn't jynx it. I don't know if I'd be ok. Everytime I go to Tomorrowland, I always manage to look up at the empty PeopleMover/Rocket Rods track and always think of those two former attractions. I guess, for me to instantly stop looking up everytime I enter the land, an attraction has to be put up there.
Now, if we could just get people to stop complaining about California Adventure. Hmm, we'll have to think about that one.
DCA is a bigger problem right now. But hey, it's nothing that time and money can't heal.
Don't misinterpret the lack of noise for satisfaction. After so many years of depression over the vandalism of Tomorrowland, we're all finally feeling better about the new direction the land is now taking. Believe me... we're all expecting a whole lot more progress, but as long as it continues we'll shut up. If the progress stops... invest in ear plugs.
Not satisfied, but happy with the direction they are taking things!! I hope it keeps up!!!
I won't be satisfied until the PeopleMover returns.
I wont be satisfied untill these things happen:
1. Subs Return
2. Tomorrowland Terrace comes back IE drop Club Buzz
3. Some kind of attraction on top of the peoplemover track.
4. Updated Star Tours
5. Cosmic Waves gets replaced with something.
6. Innoventions gets replaced with an attraction hopefully ATIS 2.
7. Starcade upper floor gets filled with something or an attraction.
8. Relocation of Rocket Jets to upper platform.
9. Rocks at the entrance are removed.
10. New Tomorrowland symbol and the one at the entrance. They should make a similar one to the first symbol they used to have.
11. Autopia gets a more futuristic design and they get rid of that sucky sponsor Chevron.
12. HISTA gets replaced.
Tomorrowland has never been my favorite land, but I've never hated it or have been sad about it. I am excited about riding Space Mtn and Buzz!! Sadly, the older I get the worse my motion sickness gets, but I must ride the Mtn! I will prevail! :)
I do believe Walt once said that Disneyland would never be "completed" per se; as long as there is imagination in the world, the park would continue to grow. So any cessation on the progress of ANY land should be cause to make some noise, IMO.
Tomorrowland-wise, though, I especially would be disappointed to hear that they stopped working on it, because there's room for so much more, and they're selling themselves short.
(I know I'm new and all, but I've noticed the disheartening state of my favorite land, and it makes ME complain, just not usually on the public level).
There are still so many more updates and attractions that are needed to bring it anywhere near the the status it had in the 70's and 80's. I am glad TL appears to have hit rock bottom and is on the upswing now. But don't forget the long long road of neglect and abuse this land suffered through. It really couldn't have gotten any worse.
STILL NEEDED for TL :
Subs - coming, but not for a couple years
Peoplemover replacement of some sort
Something worthy to replace Carousel of Progress and America Sings
Astro Orbitor to the old rocket jet location
New Monorail fleet is desperately needed
Updated revamped version of Star Tours
Replacement for the old Skyway, (several levels are integral to TL and Skyway was the highest)
Updated 3D movie for Honey I Shrunk the Audience.
A new attraction in the old Mission to Mars building
Something futuristic for Autopia
As Soon as those things are accomplished, THEN ask the question again.
It will take decades to fix TL for the one decade of abuse and neglect.
I want it all like there is no Tomorrow, baby!
This is EXACTLY how I feel. This sums it up and if Tomorrowland fixed all the things listed, then, and only then would I be satisfied. Except I would like to add that they need a new monorail fleet. Not an all-new fleet, just a replacement fleet with the same exact look and new parts.Quote:

If they do not proceed, we will start complaining again. And loudly. TL needs to be completely restored - - No joke there! It's the most important issue at Disneyland today...
Aside from the Submarine Voyage and Monorail fleet, already in progress, here are a few requirements:
1) Rockets back up on the platform in the center of TL - - Observatron begone! A MUST.
2) PeopleMover replacement on the track through TL. I like the Incredibles pods idea. A MUST.
3) Removal of Wet marble. A MUST.
4) Removal of creepy moon rocks and Astro-Orbitor at entrance to TL. A MUST.
5) Restoration of the Tomorrowland Terrace and Stage (and stage top). A MUST.
6) Conversion of Radio Disney booth into functional snack bar or other.
7) Fix Innoventions, bring back Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress from WDW or do something new in there... How about the Little Green Men version of Flying Saucers?
8) Get rid of Honey I Shrunk the Kids and replace with something else - or return to Space Stage Pavillion.
9) Bring back Adventure Thru Inner Space (in Pizza Port and/or Honey?).
10) Bring back Skyway.
11) More paint - go back to mod white, blue, black
12) Restore Mary Blair murals or add Jumbotron video murals! (Current ones are an improvement, but tacky).
13) Open up walkway by removing Star Tours fastpass
14) Revive the tech in Star Tours (digital projection, etc.)
15) Do something about "backside of TL/former Goth Alley"
16) Why not bring back the House of the Future too?
17) How about a spacy video canopy like Downtown Vegas?
People actually love Disneyland and need more attractions opened or revived to handle the ever-expanding crowds - - new little things DCA is a waste of good money, unless they plan on some REAL layout and theme redesign.
I think what Autopia needs is a more narrow track. Right now it's so wide-open, it's just a bunch of cement with the scenery (what little there is) far away.
They need to bring it back to its more intimate old self. Make the track smaller, bring the scenery closer and not have it so you can see hundreds of feet in front of you. Bigger is not necessarily better. Look at all the mega-casinos in Vegas...you'd think they'd be walking all over the smaller casinos when it comes to gambling. But the small casinos get way more gamblers than mega-resorts. The reason is people like small, intimate settings sometimes. The Autopia, much like the old Motor Boat Cruise, is your own private little journey with just you and a vehicle and it's fun to feel like you're the only one around. It's one of the few rides in Disneyland where you get your very own ride vehicle all to yourself. This sense of privacy can only be achieved when the track is narrowed and the expansive sightlines are reduced.
Frankly, I liked the old Autopia better because it was more intimate and personal. The new one is too sterile and streamlined.
There is one thing I have not heard here. Who agrees that the pavement color and the type of blocks they use are ugly? Have you seen the old pictures? The current one is too warm and it needs a colder feel to it. I remember the old one used to be blue or something. Look at the pavement in this picture: http://webcot.free.fr/articles/futur...rowland-70.jpg
I found a cool picture: http://www.tdrfan.com/tdl/tomorrowla...jets_intro.jpg
Those are the rocket jets in Tokyo. If it were my decision this is what we would get on the platform. What is funny about that shot is that the rocket jets say USA on the side and it is in Tokyo lol but I guess they weren't the ones that went into space.

An Ohio man accused by German officials of Nazi war crimes is set to be held by US authorities ahead of his deportation to Germany, his lawyer says.
John Demjanjuk, 89, is accused being an accessory to the deaths of some 29,000 people at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in World War II.
His family have claimed that Mr Demjanjuk, who is bed-ridden, is too unwell to be deported.
Lawyers for Mr Demjanjuk have filed an appeal against the deportation order. More at BBC News.

This is a v.basic question for WPF.
At first glance, it seems that WPF is case-sensitive. But if this has to be true then how come width="auto" & width="Auto" both works fine? On the other hand if is case-insensitive then why do controls don't accept 'width' as its property? You can define the width of a control only using 'Width' (Capital W).

Casmir by Chopard
Synthetic and overly warm vanilla-coconut pudding too onedimensional and sweet for my taste. I agree with From Smoke when asserts that the melange between coconut, mango and vanilla produces a sort of flavour of banana pudding. The peaches are also detectable till the powdery end. I don't perceive a lot the floral middle transition while clearly detect sandalwood and patchouli in an ocean of fruity vanilla. The drowning of flowers in a lake of creamy, fruity vanilla turns the scent not enough sophisticated in my opinion. A touch of musk impresses a bit of woodsy feel but is not enough to reduce the claustrophobic warmth. I don't perceive the scent as a complex one and i smell it too synthetic and cloying. The dry down is boring and a bit close to skin while the longevity is good.

The 10th annual May Day Safety Fair sponsored by the Kids Safe Coalition of Central California was an education day at Chukchansi Park baseball stadium where first-graders from local schools had the opportunity to receive valuable information on how to be safe. Community's Leon S. Peters Burn Center partnered with PG&E to present how to be safe around power lines.
The Central San Joaquin Valley has one of the lowest physician-per-capita ratios in California, and changes in healthcare are making it harder for people to find a doctor here. Community Medical Centers' 40-year partnership with the University of California, San Francisco – rated among the top five best medical schools in the nation – educates more than 300 physicians a year in Community's hospitals.
Community Medical Centers provides its employees with numerous educational opportunities to grow their careers in the Valley. Last year the healthcare network invested more than $18.5 million in educational reimbursements, professional certifications and clinical education' and advanced leadership training.
As part of efforts to find the best nurses, Community Medical Centers teamed up with West Hills College Lemoore on an innovative program to train new nurses – providing for all the students' clinical rotations and nurse externships in all of Community's hospitals. Students are mentored by seasoned nurses, working side-by-side with them providing direct patient care in a variety of clinical settings, including pediatric, burn and psychiatric care.
Dr. Gregory Hendey, UCSF Professor and Chief of Emergency Medicine gives information about measles — the signs, symptoms, history, the importance of immunization and what you should do if you think you have the virus.Back to Videos
Community Medical Centers and University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center (UCSF) have signed a formal Letter of Intent to significantly expand pediatric specialty care and the pediatric medical education program at Community hospitals and clinics.
Community Medical Centers provided more than $186 million in uncompensated services and programs in fiscal year 2013-14, equivalent to nearly 16% of its total expenses, according to the nonprofit hospital system's annual community benefits report filed with the State of California.
When Dr. Andreé Kühnhardt wanted to further his surgical learning, his mentors at the suburban Madrid hospital in Spain where he practices recommended flying to Fresno to study under bariatric surgeon Kelvin Higa at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital.
Community Regional Medical Center's sonography school has joined the only other program in the United States with accreditation to teach all four learning concentrations – General Sonography, Adult Cardiac Echo, Pediatric Cardiac Echo and Vascular Sonography. Even programs teaching ultrasound techniques at the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins do not have pediatric cardiac echo approval from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
The GetWell Network turns the television in patients' rooms throughout Community Medical Centers' three hospitals into an entertainment and education portal where they can watch video education courses and view discharge instructions tailored just for them – in English or Spanish. Such technology shows patients and their families exactly what improvements they must achieve to be discharged and how to make sure healing continues at home, with videos on how to care for stitches and take their follow-up medication.

Family and neighbors of Gerald B. Gilliam say they are still in disbelief over his death and what transpired between him and neighbor Andrew D. Johnson.
Elmer Clark, 89, who lives one street west on Beatty Avenue, said he has known "Bill" Johnson for about 15-20 years but only knew recently of disagreements between the neighbors.
"I know they had been arguing for the last three to four weeks," he said. "I was shocked, I didn't think it would come to that."
Johnson, 59, was charged with murder and attempted murder Saturday night after shooting Gilliam in his midsection with a .38-caliber pistol after the two argued, according to police.
Gilliam later died at Firelands Regional Medical Center.
"It seemed like something happened at that moment of time and he just snapped," Clark said. "It surprised the hell out of me to find that out."
Grant Avenue resident Chris Harper said he, too, was shocked.
"He (Johnson) was a good guy," Harper said.
Michelle Drury, a longtime friend of Gilliam's wife, Sandra, described recently wed couple as "pretty crazy about each other."
The Gilliams were married in March, according to Erie County Common Pleas Court records. The Register visited the Gilliam residence Monday, but family declined to comment.
"Of course she's devastated. They had a good relationship, very loving to each other," Drury said.
"I know that Sandy had helped him through a lot in his life," Drury said. "He was getting his life back together with Sandy."
Gilliam had worked for about two and half months doing outside maintenance at Harvey's Market on Columbus Avenue, according to Frank Elhage, part manager of the business.
"He's a hard worker ... he made me laugh. He was a good guy," Elhage said, adding the two would talk about cars and movies together.
Elhage said he also knows Johnson as a regular customer at his convenience and liquor store.
"Every time he sees somebody here he talks to them," Elhage said. "I don't know what happened."
Wesley Smith, Gilliam's stepbrother, knew Johnson from doing car work for him over the years.
"I just don't know why he would have done it at all. Bill was always nice. He pretty much kept to himself," he said. "He never caused any trouble in the neighborhood."
While Gilliam had a history of charges including domestic violence, Smith said he was starting a new leaf.
"My stepbrother, of course, he wasn't always the perfect man. But as he got older, he straightened his life up," he said. "A terrific person if you got to know him."
Other residents and family of Gilliam told the Register police said not to talk about the incident.
Perkins police Chief Tim McClung denied this, saying officers told residents they could choose not to talk to the media if asked.
Toft Funeral Home & Crematory will handle a private service for the Gilliam family. Donations to fund a funeral are being accepted by Sandra Gilliam's employer, The Community at Parkview.
"They don't have very much," Pastor Bill Michaels said. "They don't even know how they're going to pay for the funeral."

When Travis Ishikawa first met the woman who turned out to be his future wife, she apparently didn't notice that he looked like Rocky Balboa after going 15 rounds with Apollo Creed. "She says she doesn't remember me having a swollen face," Ishikawa said. "My cheek was all swollen and she says she doesn't remember any of that." It is true, then, that love must be blind, because Ishikawa's face was about twice its usual size after he got in the face with a fastball in the first game he played with the Giants' Class A affiliate in San Jose, in 2004. Ishikawa started that season with San Francisco's low-A team in Hagerstown, Maryland, hit well, and was called up to San Jose. "I flew cross-country all day," Ishikawa recalled. "I got into the San Jose airport around 2:30 or 3, just in time to go straight to the field for batting practice." Because the club had several players injured, Ishikawa was inserted into the lineup that night. The game was unremarkable until Ishikawa's final a...
