To help redevelopment, city officials are easing off zoning codes. They allow businesses and families to coexist in multistory buildings in the financial district.
The city, which is on the Intracoastal, boasts two safe neighborhood districts -- Three Islands and Golden Isle, where homeowners pay additional property taxes in return for increased security from the city. Both neighborhoods' entrances and exits are monitored by video cameras.
Efforts to attract younger families continue to pay off as more working class families with children are moving to Hallandale, a city of 34,286 people.
Area children attend Hallandale Elementary School, Hallandale High School and McNicol Middle School, just north of Hallandale's boundary with Hollywood.
There are plenty of activities designed to keep residents busy. Some are provided at the Hepburn Center, 750 NW Eighth Ave., the social service building that houses the Department of Human Resources.
The center runs an after-school program for children, a nutrition service for seniors, and social and recreational services for the entire community.
Free transportation is available to those who need the service.
The city features a well-kept beach and about recreational facilities that include the $1.5-million Hallandale Cultural Community Center, the Hallandale Adult Community Athletic Center, a tennis center, two in-line skating rinks and a municipal pool.
A city manager runs the day-to-day activities of the city, but the City Commission sets rules and regulations.
The commission consists of a mayor, a vice mayor and three commissioners. The $5.9-million Hallandale Municipal Complex, at 400 S. Federal Highway, is a V-shaped building, nicknamed the Pink Elephant. It houses City Hall and the Hallandale Police Department.

CoreLogic Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Wednesday, November 02, 2011
CoreLogic Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results17:44 EDT Wednesday, November 02, 2011- Third quarter results exceed expectations on higher refinancing volumes and cost actions.- Company to exit five non-core businesses.- Annualized cost reduction targets increased to $80 - $100 million.- Full-year 2011 guidance increased to $290 - $300 million in adjusted EBITDA and $0.75 - $0.80 in adjusted EPS.SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of consumer, financial and property information, analytics and services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.Anand Nallathambi, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the quarter, "During the third quarter, we took aggressive actions to sharpen our focus on our core businesses and better position CoreLogic to capitalize on our competitive strengths in the data and analytics and core mortgage origination services areas. These core businesses benefit from their leading market presence, unique data assets, intellectual property and world-class domain expertise."Nallathambi continued, "With a more focused set of businesses and an aggressive cost reduction plan, we believe CoreLogic is positioned for stronger financial results in 2012 and beyond with less dependency on improvement in the mortgage market. Going forward, we believe CoreLogic shareholders will benefit from balanced revenue growth and enhanced margin profiles across our core businesses."Frank Martell, Chief Financial Officer, commented on the increased cost reduction targets, "We believe the actions taken this quarter, along with our continuing program of aggressive cost reductions and productivity improvements, will allow CoreLogic to reach its goal of 30% adjusted EBITDA margins through 2013. As a result of accelerated progress on our cost reduction plans and stronger mortgage refinancing activity in the second half of 2011, we are increasing our full-year 2011 guidance to $290 - $300 million in adjusted EBITDA and $0.75 - $0.80 in adjusted EPS."In the discussion below of the business segments and of CoreLogic as a firm, certain information is presented on an adjusted basis. For more information about the Company's adjusted results, as well as other non-GAAP financial measures used by management, please see the Company's quarterly financial supplement on the CoreLogic investor website and discussion on the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures found on page 4 of this release.Third Quarter Financial Highlights (continuing operations)Revenues, equity in earnings of affiliates and income from continuing operations were positively impacted by higher-than-anticipated mortgage loan refinancing volumes, cost reduction initiatives and the acquisitions of RP Data Limited and Dorado Network Systems.Revenues increased 5.5% year-over-year to $348.4 million, driven by a 14.5% jump in Data and Analytics segment revenues which reflected the acquisition of RP Data in the second quarter of 2011 as well as higher project-related revenues. Business and Information Services segment revenues totaled $169.6 million, down 3.1% from the third quarter of 2010 reflecting an estimated 22.4% year-over-year decrease in mortgage origination volumes offset partially by the acquisition of Dorado Network Systems.Third quarter pretax income from continuing operations totaled $9.3 million. Compared to the third quarter of 2010, pretax income from continuing operations was down $31.0 million due mainly to higher expenses including depreciation and amortization ($11.3 million), interest expense ($6.3 million), investments in improving operating efficiency ($10.1 million) and other one-time charges ($8.1 million); which together more than offset the impact of higher revenues. Third quarter net loss of $107.2 million was primarily due to the pre-tax write-down of goodwill and intangibles of $139.5 million related to the exit of the LeadClick business and other charges attributable to discontinued operations.Total adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $85.4 million (23.6% of adjusted revenues), a decline of 12.1% from the same prior year period. This decline was primarily attributable to the impact of lower mortgage originations.Adjusted EBITDA for the Data & Analytics segment totaled $54.9 million in the third quarter, up 5.4% from the third quarter of 2010, reflecting the acquisition of RP Data. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter was 29.4%, down from 31.5% in the third quarter of 2010 reflecting a greater proportion of advisory project revenue, costs incurred as a result of new product development initiatives and increased external cost of consumer credit data.Adjusted EBITDA for the Business and Information Services segment totaled $44.3 million, down 24.3% from the prior year due principally to lower equity earnings in the Company's affiliates, softness in default services and lower flood certification volumes. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter was 24.5% versus 30.3% in the third quarter of 2010.Loss from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.03 for the third quarter.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesAt September 30, 2011, CoreLogic had cash of $138.7 million. During the third quarter, the Company acquired Tarasoft Corporation, a leading provider of Multiple Listing Service systems software to the real estate industry for $30.3 million and also retired a pension-related note of approximately $17.0 million.Total debt as of September 30, 2011, was $911.1 million, down $28.0 million from June 30, 2011, with available capacity on the Company's credit facility of approximately $501.7 million. Trailing twelve-month debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio as of September 30, 2011 was 2.85x.Going forward, the Company will consider the repurchase of common shares and retirement of outstanding debt on an opportunistic basis.At November 2, 2011 there were approximately 106.5 million shares of common stock outstanding.Non-Core Businesses ExitedDuring the third quarter, CoreLogic determined that five business units would be exited in order to increase the focus of the Company's core operations and to improve overall profitability.Businesses designated as held-for-sale and reported as discontinued operations include Appraisal Management Services, American Driving Records, Inc., CompuNet Credit Services, and Consumer Credit Monitoring Services. As previously announced, LeadClick (Marketing Services) was closed during September 2011.For the third quarter of 2011, revenues for these five businesses totaled $58.6 million and adjusted EBITDA aggregated a negative $15.6 million, of which $10.7 million was attributable to shut down costs associated with LeadClick.Cost Reduction Program ExpandedThe Company increased its estimated annualized costs savings target to $80 - $100 million. These savings measures, implemented over the course of 2011 and 2012, include information technology, corporate overhead, real estate and procurement cost reductions as well as the results of enhanced productivity in the individual business units.During the third quarter, the Company reduced its U.S.-based workforce approximately 6% and completed the sale of its captive offshoring platform to Cognizant. The Company expects to further reduce its U.S. workforce by approximately 5% during the fourth quarter.Increased Full Year 2011 Guidance (continuing operations)Company increased 2011 guidance to $290 - $300 million in adjusted EBITDA and $0.75 - $0.80 in adjusted EPS. This positive revision reflects the impact of stronger-than-anticipated mortgage refinancing volumes and accelerated cost savings initiatives.2011 adjusted revenues from continuing operations are expected to total $1,350 - $1,370 million reflecting the impact of exiting the five businesses discussed previously partially offset by higher mortgage refinancing volumes.Strategic Alternatives ReviewAs previously announced on August 29, 2011, CoreLogic's Board of Directors has created a committee of independent directors to explore a wide range of options aimed at enhancing shareholder value. This review is currently ongoing.Teleconference/WebcastThe CoreLogic management team will host a live webcast and conference call on Thursday, November 3, 2011, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time (11:00 a.m. Eastern time) to discuss these results. All interested parties are invited to listen to the event via webcast on the CoreLogic website at http://investor.corelogic.com.

Risk and uncertainties exist that may cause the results to differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the anticipated results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements are set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including but not limited to: limitations on access to data from external sources, including government and public record sources; changes in applicable government legislation, regulations and the level of regulatory scrutiny affecting our customers or us, including with respect to consumer financial services and the use of public records and consumer data which may, among other things, limit the manner in which we conduct business with our customers; compromises in the security of our data transmissions, including the transmission of confidential information or systems interruptions; difficult conditions in the mortgage and consumer credit industry, including the continued decline in mortgage applications, declines in the level of loans seriously delinquent and continued delays in the default cycle, the state of the securitization market, increased unemployment, and conditions in the economy generally; risks related to our international operations and the outsourcing of various business process and information technology services to third parties, including potential disruptions to services and customers and inability to achieve cost savings; and impairments in our goodwill or other intangible assets. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), including adjusted revenue which includes equity in earnings of affiliates; adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted pretax margin which is adjusted to exclude historical corporate expense of the spun-off businesses, net realized investment gains/losses, employee separation costs, and other adjustments. Although these exclusions represent actual losses or expenses to the Company, they may mask the periodic income and financial and operating trends associated with the Company's business. To compensate for the inherent limitations of these non-GAAP measures, the Company uses them in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that they provide the Company's management and investors with additional insight into the operational performance of the Company relative to earlier periods. The Company does not intend for these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for any GAAP financial information. In this press release, these non-GAAP financial measures have been presented with, and reconciled to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Until Alzheimer's disease wreaked its gradual destruction, Ronald Reagan was an inveterate writer. He wrote not only letters, short fiction, poetry, and sports stories, but speeches, newspaper articles, and radio commentary on public policy issues, both foreign and domestic. Most of Reagan's original writings are pre-presidential. From 1975 to 1979 he gave more than 1,000 daily radio broadcasts, two-thirds of which he wrote himself.

Oscar Nominated Best Animated Short
Friday, January 17th, 2014
Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and I was excited to see one of my family's recent faves, Room on the Broom, receive a nod for Best Animated Short. Based on the picture book by Julia Donaldson (author of modern classic The Gruffalo), the quick flick tells the tale of a cheerful witch, her faithful feline companion, and three helpful animals they meet. The cat's not so thrilled to share precious broomstick space with the new critters but finds that they must ultimately work together to save their beloved witch from a hungry dragon. The sweet soundtrack and beautifully rendered characters hooked my kids, ages 3 and 6, after just one viewing, and they've asked to watch the 25-minute short again and again. Given the lovely lessons the film imparts—the rewards that come from making new friends and cooperating with your peers— I'm more than happy to oblige.–Beth Honeyman, Research Chief

So after the girls busted my not so shelty camp i packed my stuff and got back on my hors..ehh bike. Bonjovi singing: Im a cowboy, on a steel horse i ride i rode past the two girls and back out on the road. but only for a few hundred yards. Stopped at a service stations rest are and made myself a hot breakfast.
Thanx to the Norwegian army to suply me with food. It taste like shit but you can live on it.
To be honest its not that bad. you only need a little water and that start a chemical reaction that cooks the meal.
After this i dared to visit the toilets but after a quick look inside i decided not to. Almost lost my brekfast after that. And no don't worry there will be no picture this time.
Got back on the bike in a hurry and took off for Budapest. I have heard that its supposed to be a beautiful city and they where right. Parked my bike beside the biggest sand clock(is that the right English word, i dont know) in the world. It a 8 meter diameter and the sand take one year to move from the top side and down. then its turned by manual labor so it can go for another year. Its made to last for ever so we have to see if it will.
Walked over a bridge to a small castle. It was early int he morning but tourists where already pouring in by buss loads, and on a bike.
Anyone know who this is? Not the girl but the statue. Don't know who the girl is either, but it was impossible to get a picture whit out someone sitting on the statue.
This statue was popular to but i manage to snap a picture before the lady rush in to take her picture.
It was a very warm day. must have been at least close to 30 degrees C and i was feeling a little warm in my gear. So i did something not so adventurous. I got on a tour bus and did a 3 hour sightseeing ride on that bus. yeah yeah i know.. but hey i was tired and warm, give me a brake ;)
at 1500 i was back on my bike and heeding east. Had to stop at another rest area to have a 15 min nap on a bench, as i was to tired to go on. But that worked miracles and i entered Romania later that evening.
The city of Oradea
Less pretty then Budapest but somewhere outside i found a small motel. Again it was nothing fancy but at 20 euros you cant really expect much. The lady in the reception gave me the key to a small room on first floor and i started to haul my luggage up. The some guy came and showed me a room at the kitchen entrance to park the bike in. Perfect but it was a tight squeeze to get it in there.
After i parked my bike i went toward my room with the panniers. Then the hotel owner shoved up and yelled at the reception lady. Apparently he was annoyed that i was given a room on first floor as they had bigger rooms behind the hotel on ground floor. He spoke a little german and explained that i should have the bigger room for the same price so i did not need to haul all my stuff up the stairs.
What a nice guy.
The dinner i had at the hotel restaurant was pork and fries. Always exiting to see what you end up with when you don't share any language.
Had a cold shower.. not only because i was hot, but also because there was no hot water. But the bed was great and i sleept like a baby.

Walk the guy. Rolen is good, but at least Tackleberry has a shot. Any strike to Pujols ends up in the stands.
Considering what had happened in the game before that, I walk him and let someone else win it for them.
Go Gators!
It was a no brainer... and apparently JN didn't know that.
The guy had already hit two homeruns for Pete's sake. So in the bottom of the 9th with a runner on and up only one run, Narron decides to pitch to him. My God! It doesn't get much stupider than that!
Nothing like just handing this game to the Cards on a silver platter. I blame no one but Narron for this one. The offense worked their butts off in this game and IMHO, Narron blew it.

ah. what's the chances of a 3rd home run! We need a closer bad.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
And This One Belongs to the REDS!!!
You pitch to Pujols and don't pump him a meatball when ahead in the count. You have to. Folks, the guy hitting behind Pujols is named Scott Rolen and Scott Rolen can tie it up more easily with a runner on 2B than can Pujols with a runner on 1B. At minimum, if Rolen manages to advance Marquis to 3B with one Out, you've set yourself up for a suicide squeeze or the opportunity for a Sac Fly, Error, WP, or Passed Ball to tie it up. And all because you just chose to put the tying Run at 2B with none out.
What you don't do is pitch to Pujols earlier in the game with a base open. If the Reds had played those other PA smartly, this thread wouldn't exist.

i would have pitched to him...the inexcusable part of the inning to me, was letting marquis get on in front of albert in the first place...i really don't understand the "need" for weathers to have been brought in to close it out in the ninth...he's not dennis eckersley...
I agree. Can Coffey not go two innings? In my opinion, the role of the closer is way overrated in baseball these days. I'm still relatively young, but I can still remember the days of closers going two and three innings.Originally Posted by Red in Chicago
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
In hindsight, I walk him.
"Hyperbole is the greatest thing ever" Redsland
I was thinking about Pujols after the Reds took the lead in the 8th. I knew if the Reds didn't score again and Pujols got to the the plate, the Cards win if you pitched to him. They did and they did.
The way I see it:
Pujols: Sure HR
Rolen: Maybe something better
The big problem is the way the Reds pitch him. Who wrote the Reds' scouting report on Albert Pujols, Helen Keller? Why pitch him up and out over the plate? That's suicide. Pound him low and inside pitch after pitch. If he walks, fine, but make him hit your pitch.

You have to pitch to him. No way do you go first and second, no outs, with Rolen coming up.
Weathers had him 1-2, and all he had to do, with multiple chances, was execute with his best pitch, a slider, down and away.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
And that is what really pee'd me off.... that he had him 1-2 and got careless (or maybe cocky, thinking he could get one by him and K him).Originally Posted by lollipopcurve
But to allow the pitcher on base before that was an absolute sin.

PHOTOS: Thousands descend on Goodland for annual Mullet Festival
Outflapping her opposition with the madcap gusto reserved for the Buzzard Lope dance, Beverly Verhusen of Naples claimed the colorful title of Buzzard Lope Queen 2010 at the annual Mullet Festival.
It was held over the weekend at Stan's Idle Hour Restaurant on Goodland for the 26th year running.
Sunday, under grey skies that didn't dampen anyone's spirits (mostly fortified, if the truth be told), revelers ate 600 pounds of oysters and about 2,000 pounds of fried fish.
Significantly, mullet wasn't on the menu, due to the extensive fish kills in the area after the January cold snap that lasted a week.
By any standards, the rousing festival is a potpourri of cultural contrasts — leather-clad bikers, visitors in shorts, loose shirts and baseball caps, and locals in their customary tattered jeans and logoed T-shirts.
The great leveler is that everybody gets together for two days of inspired lunacy in the tiny waterfront town that calls itself a "drinking village with a fishing problem."
Social class distinction takes a hike as revelers imbibe and dance to a hot local country rock band, eat oysters and fried mullet until it comes out of their gills, and then settle in for the Buzzard Lope Queen contest.
Indiana visitor Tom Ludwig, sporting a Rastafarian cap and (false) locks, said the festival coincides with an annual visit each year.
"It's a really neat festival," he said, particularly the age mix. It's pretty unique."
He said a female Ludwig family member might indeed become next year's Buzzard Lope Queen.
"We're doing a demographic study on the crowd, learning how to influence the judges, and coming back next year to win," he said with tongue firmly in cheek.
Sioux Falls, S.D., visitor Ron Koiker sported a hat that looked like a reshaped 12-pack Coors Light beer carton.
"It gets better every year," he said. "I like to just watch (people)."
After her win, new Buzzard Lope Queen Verhusen said she'd treasure the honor for life.
"I'm really excited. I love this place," she said.
In the early days, the festival was aimed more at mullet fishermen, with a cleaning contest (that still takes place), and then some dancing afterwards.
Octogenarian host Stan Gober brought in the buzzard angle about a decade ago.
"The good Lord sent me the song about a buzzard, and the next thing there were gals dancing and we had a (Buzzard Lope) Queen," he said.
Gober said he takes pride in the festival being named as one of the top 10 Florida festivals to be sure not to miss.

and now that I have a husband and kids to journey this life with,
my prayers for a fresh vision from HIM include them as well.
from the Holy Spirit call/vision/direction from the One who calls me HIS.
My heart melts, my eyes redirect, my ears are freshly tuned
and often my steps redirected to follow more closely the One I love.
so I can more fully grasp on with both hands to a new dream...HIS dream.
even means running as fast as I can in a new way altogether.
And if that's what it takes, then running is what I'll do...
Because sometimes looking back means I still have one hand on my old dream
But that's not the way I want to respond to the One I love.
homeschooling for the first time this year.
I've had several conversations with friends about details of their lives...
and the question that we always end with is, "What vision does God have for your family?"
Loving Him and loving others looks unique based on the context each of us lives in.
and all these things will be added to you as well. - Matthew 6:33
instead of just my world in my hands...and I gain an overwhelming assurance that whatever happens,
as long as He gets the glory He is due, it's going to be okay.

Not having a home is weighing on CJ's mind, and nobody has been able to cheer him up. To make matters worse, the electric company calls him and tells him the electric bill hasn't been paid. And Janine is increasingly acting more and more strangely, blowing up at the kids and seeming agitated and nervous. She's also getting strange calls from a guy named Blue. Calvin later tells CJ that he heard on the street that it was arson that caused CJ's house to burn down. So CJ decides it's time to get to the bottom of things.

"I received many positive comments from recipients. They all mentioned how cute the card was. I would order it again. The cards arrived in good condition and in a timely manner."
"This card is very nice quality and printed/shipped to me very quickly. The only thing that would have made this better would be if I were able to pick the hair and/or eye color of the girl so it can be a bit more customized. I understand that would add to the production time however."
"Overall I was very pleased with this card. I read the reviews before I purchased it so I knew to expect the texture verses a flat card; however, even though the paper wasn't completely smooth, I didn't have a hard time writing on it at all. It has the perfect coloring for what I was looking for, and it looks just like the picture available on the webiste. Also, it is the perfect size for a thank you card with just the right amount of space to write."
"I really liked these thank you notes because they were printed on fabulous paper and the colors were exactly what I wanted! My notes to my friends will be given in style!"
"I am a 'heart' lover and these cards are not only cute, but the perfect size for thank you notes. The back of the card also has a heart saying "very much"."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

OK, this is to discuss the RUMORS of what is happening, and a look at what MIGHT happen and its impact on the place.
OK, looks like Route 66 is the main point of extreme makeover, not just for the Wonderful World of Color water show, but in removal of attractions, and seeing a lot of bulldozers.
So what does Disney need to do and what changes need to be made.
First off, the clear issue is the Entertainment corridor and the need for it to avoid the area, at least during the makeover.
And it sound like Disney has come up with an easy answer, use the Main Emergency exit gates near First Aid and the Tortilla Factory. There are some issues involved, but nothing major.
If you hold off on moving the parade route until after the Christmas season, Block Party Bash is going to WDW, the DEP is on hiatus and the new Play Pals parade can be delayed if needed. That leaves only High School Musical 2, and they can just have one show at Sunshine Plaza, as the Bug's Land Farm area doesn't seem wide enough to have the stage back far enough for a second stop. But maybe Disney could rework the show a bit to make it work.
As I understand it, here is the new Parade Route.
So what should Disney do next, IMHO build the Preview Center in the Bathroom Row building, as it will show park guests why so much of the nearby area is closed.
It is a pretty big building, so they might not need the entire thing...
Last time I was inside of the building, it was pretty much a warehouse with basic walls and a concrete floor, so Disney should make it seem more like nice preview center, but should take long to install a nice public area inside.
Then it is time to get to work on getting the area ready for new attractions, and to make a decent seating area for the new water show.
So close off the area to allow the bulldozers to come in and start removing stuff.
This looks like the area that will get the extreme makeover.
So we are going to lose at lot of things, some could be moved, some could be sent to other parks or sold to another company.
The six attractions in the area and IMHO what to do with them.
Golden Dreams - Remove it, but place the film on DVD so the few fans who like it can buy it for there collection.
Golden Zepher - Maybe move it to the Timon lot area, but it is limited due to winds, so let it go somewhere else.
Jumpin' Jellyfish - Maybe re themed for a bug land, or sent elsewhere
Orange Stinger might be able to stay, but more than likely just remove it and move/sell it.
s.s. Trustworthy - Tear the stuff down, nothing worth packing up and sending elsewhere. Already 2 water play areas in the park.
Mulholland Madness - Maybe to Florida, maybe sold.
But there is a lot more in the area, so let's see what should be done.
ODV carts - You could move the 2 stands (Ice Cream and Lemonade) in front of Golden Dreams either to the north near the Grizzly Smoking area and/or us some of the Entertainment corridor to the east of the area (since it won't be used for parades). Also the coffee cart near the Amphitheater can be moved to the same area.
The Pin Cart, put in in storage, you have many other pin locations, and bring it back when the area is done.
The Portrait Artists - Moved to the Entertainment Corridor near the west end of the Wine Country Trattoria, either on the path, or maybe inside of the unused wine bar area.
Souvenir 66 - Pretty much generic stuff, so just close it down.
Dinosaur's Jack's Sunglass Shack - Close it down, but stock more sunglasses at the Rushin' River Outfitters and other locations.
Burger Invasion - As far as I know Disney doesn't have a long term agreement with McDonald's, so remove it, if needed, relocate it to the Lucky Fortune Cookery area until the contract is over.
Corn Dog Castle, either add the item at Farmer's Market, or build a Corn Dog Cart like the one on Main Street and place it on the Parade Route area near Wine Country Trattoria. Or maybe place it in the old Fortune Cookie area in the Wharf.
Pizza Oom Mow Mow - Let it close, no real easy way to relocate it.
So what to save, well, the restrooms on Bathroom row are needed, as it is a bit of a walk to other locations.
Also the restroom next to Burger Invasion, located in the North West corner of the area, no need to rebuild them, so just leave it alone.
The Pizza Omm Mow Mow and Burger Invasion buildings - Depending on the plans and what is needed for the planned Beer Garden, either leave them standing and re-theme them, or remove them for new structures.
Other things in the area - the old Paradise Pier Hotel entrance, it can be removed, no use for it.
Then you have a support building and some electrical equipment near the Golden Dreams Theater (just to the north-west). Both of these can be left and/or relocated, depending on the needs of the new attractions.
So you have a pretty empty slate after everything is removed and bulldozed.
The southern edge can be totally redone to allow for Wonderful World of Color seating, and support equipment (One plan has an lighthouse being built near where the Golden Zepher is currently, for the main show support). Also you could plan special seating on the west edge to match up with the Beer Garden to allow for reserved seating (at an additional price and/or food purchase).
Then redo the Parade Route (not required, maybe just leave it with the new, shortened route, expanded if Carsland goes in the area).
That leaves the north edge for the Little Mermaid Ride and the Ratatouille coaster on the Northern side. Also the timing of the new ride construction will match up with the DVC units that will be built just north of DCA in the area.
Of course, in the Little Mermaid/Ratatouille area, add a shop or two, and some food stands, and then a lot of ODV especially in the evening hours for the Wonderful World of Color crowds gathering.
Other things that will have to be addressed.
More than likely Ariel's Grotto will have to close down their outside seating area while the lake is drained, or maybe they just place refurb walls up and enclose the patio area.
The Cove Bar will have sight issues, maybe more refurb walls, close it or just leave it open. Also an option to move the area to the Wharf area, using the kitchens of the old Lucky Fortune Cookery for food and then a portable bar set-up for cocktails (beer is already in the area).
What to do with Screamin' while the lake is drained? Maybe build some refurb walls just north of the tracks to block the empty lake and the majority of the constructions.
Also you have some access issues with Maliboomer and the Sun Wheel, but if ToT is at a Dead End, I guess it can remain that way for a year or so.
I specifically blocked off the current Parade Route gate, as IMHO it will be needed for construction access. A wall next to the Maliboomer exit could be designed to be used in case of an emergency to get people out quickly.
But you still also need to address the remodeling of the area to match up more like what the Toy Story Mania! area will look like, so maybe you just close the entire area off (or at least anything west of the Screamin' exit and the restrooms) for a few months in the first months of 2008 to get everything done, and then reopen the area when Toy Story Mania! is ready to open. Hopefully by that time, the Lake itself has had everything installed and can be refilled, along with the northern edge of the lake remodel.
That should allow most of the area to reopen and looking new with all the "plussing", while the Route 66 area remains closed for the entire year to continue major construction.
Anyways, just some thoughts while waiting for the bulldozers to show up.

For decades, this has been a safe and elegant—albeit somewhat cramped—place to indulge in that spicy smorgasbord of the gods, the Indonesian rice table. Stay alert when the waitstaff points out the hotness of the dishes; otherwise you might wind up having to down several gallons of antidotal witbier, the sweet local wheat beer. It can get rushed here so it's best to book for a weeknight—though even then, you may still need to wait (a handy time to study the endless menu) for a seat to open up.

Very good indonesian food, prepared in the old way. I went with locals who go there regularly and received an excellent service. To go for the food and experience, not the decor.

I hardly ever felt so ripped off. I know the restaurant is highly regarded, and we were eager to go. The food is nothing special, and way overpriced. Our experience at Tempo doeloe almost spoiled our otherwise great time in Amsterdam. Here is what happened to us. We asked to share two appetizers and one order of rijstafel, priced at 29 euros (we ordered no wine, just water). When it came it seemed abundant but halfway through the course my wife
spotted two long black hairs. The waitress seemed horrified and took the dish away. We were not too happy and thought we had had enough, so when she said that she wanted another portion prepared for us we told her not to bother and asked for the check. At the entrance there is a sign saying 'we do not accept Espresso credit cards'. We have Mastercards so we did not worry. The check had two shocking surprises: we were billed two, not one, orders of rijstafel, for a total of 81.30 (I went home hungry, which is not bad for such a considerable amount). And out of nowhere along with the check a note materialized warning that they did not accept Espresso or Mastercard. I went to talk to the manager. He was adamant that they had brought two servings of rice (the issue was what we had ordered, not what they brought, which we could not tell anyway given the unusual display of saucers and bowls), and that he preferred cash--he would not give a reason why Mastercard was not acceptable. I paid with the last two 50 euro bills and it did not even cross his mind to, say, give me 20 back or bill us one order of that dish: he proceeded to count all the coins up to 18.70 while I looked at him in silent amazament. We have been back a week and I am still outraged.
No Thanks

Attending Music Events
When you like to listen to music, you probably want to find music events to go to in your city. This is a great idea. You should be able to find a few to go to no matter where you live or where you would be willing to travel to.
Depending on your location, different types of music will be more popular than others. You might need to look around if you are looking for something a bit different from what most people around you enjoy.
The best thing to do would be to make a list of music events coming up that you would like to attend. Make sure you write down when they are and where they are location. Include deals such as if you are to bring your own dinner or blanket or where you would sit.
You also might think about looking for music that is offered at coffee shops or book stores. These music events are a little more low key which can be nice. You just show up when they are planning to have someone play music.
If you would like to perform at music events you should look into what you need to do to apply. Some places have open mic where anyone can play and others you have to apply ahead of time. You can also join a group that performs in different locations.
If you have a friend or family member that likes to be in the events, take the time to go and listen to them. They will be happy that you came to see them perform and it would make for a great time.
You also can join groups that attend music events together. After the event they might get together to talk about what they liked and didn't like. It can be a great way to meet new people and talk about your mutual interest in music.
Going to an event would be a good thing to do on a date. It doesn't matter if it is your first date or you have been married 20 years. It can be a great way to spend your time together.
Make sure to take the time to find the events in your community. They would be worth going to and would be a great way to spend your time. They are the perfect thing for someone who enjoys music to spend their time doing.

LEESBURG, Va. (AP) -- Former champion Kirk Hanefeld shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday at rain-softened River Creek to take the first-round lead in the Senior PGA Professional National Championship.
The 55-year-old Hanefeld, from Acton, Mass., had seven birdies and a bogey. He won the 2008 event.
Tom Herzan of Findlay, Ohio, and Mike Lawrence of Anderson, S.C. were two strokes back. They also opened at River Creek Club. Because of the wet conditions, preferred lies were used.
James Kane of Edmond, Okla., had the best score at Creighton Farms, a 69. The final two rounds will be played at Creighton Farms.
The top 35 finishers will earn spots in the Senior PGA Championship in May at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich.

NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing. This decision was reached in view of the Company's September 15, 2008, filing of a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the timing and outcome of the bankruptcy process as well as the ultimate effect of this process on the Company's equity holders.
In this regard, we considered the Company's September 16, 2008, announcement regarding the definitive agreement signed with Barclays Capital to acquire substantially all of the North American business and operating assets of Lehman Brothers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain related assets of the Company and its affiliates.
NYSE Regulation also reviewed the abnormally low price of the common stock since the bankruptcy filing on September 15, 2008.
The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation. Applications to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the issues are pending the completion of applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff's decision. The NYSE noted that it may, at any time, suspend a security if it believes that continued dealings in the security on the NYSE are not advisable.
* Listed on NYSE Arca. The other 12 securities are listed on NYSE.

Woman attacked husband's mistress with wine bottle, deputies say
An East Naples woman attacked his husband's mistress with a wine bottle outside a grocery store Sunday afternoon, Collier County sheriff's deputies said.
Madjuie Richard Durocher, 48, of the 4200 block of Gulfstream Drive, was arrested by deputies at the 4800 block of Davis Boulevard. She faces a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Deputies said Durocher followed her husband and his girlfriend to Publix, where she boxed in her husband's car and tried pulling the victim out of the vehicle while holding a wine bottle. Durocher then swung the wine bottle, which missed the victim and shattered against a car door, an arrest report said.
Durocher threw the remnants of the bottle at the victim and a scuffle ensued, the report said. Durocher's husband broke up the fight, which left the victim with a cut near her eye, deputies said.
Bond was pending Monday afternoon for Durocher.

What is life? What is my place in it? What choices do these questions obligate me to make? More than a half-century after it burst upon the intellectual scene - with roots that extend to the mid-19th century - Existentialism's quest to answer these most fundamental questions of individual responsibility, morality, and personal freedom has continued to exert a profound attraction.
Now, in a series of 24 probing and thoughtful lectures, you can enrich your own understanding of this unique philosophical wave, the visionary thinkers it brought together to ponder and debate these questions, and the prominent role it still plays in contemporary thought.
"Existentialism is, in my view, the most exciting and important philosophical movement of the past century and a half," says Professor Solomon. "Fifty years after the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre gave it its identity and 150 years after the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard gave it its initial impetus, it continues to win new enthusiasts and, in keeping with its still exciting and revolutionary message, vehement critics." Plumbing both sides of the debate, these lectures examine a wide range of Existentialist thought. You'll be exposed to the religious approach of Kierkegaard; the bold fiction of Camus; the warrior rhetoric and often-shocking claims about religion and morality posed by Nietzsche; the radical and uncompromising notion of freedom championed by Sartre; and the searching analysis of human historicity and finitude offered by Martin Heidegger. And you'll encounter the reluctance - often angrily expressed - of many of Existentialism's major figures to be thought of as part of any philosophical movement or even as intellectual allies!

"Brilliant Life changing"
For non-fiction it is one of the best I've listened to. Clear, interesting.
It explains a complicated subject surrounded by much colloquial mystery simply. It also gives philosophical reasons why we really don't have excuses and why doing what we need to do just is...so get on with it!
Intonation and some personal comments that give thoughtful support
A clear explanation of what this philosophy actual is and how it really applies to normal modern life
It changed my life and when I start over thinking things, wondering why something is, I listen to parts of it and feel much better about what choices I have and that I just need to get on with it. Being human isn't as complicated as we make out sometimes!
Audiobook addict.
"Wonderful Survey of the Evolution of a Philosophy"
This was an incredibly compelling audio course. I appreciated Prof. Solomon's inclusion not only of philosophical thinkers but also writers like Camus, Hesse, Dostoyevsky and Kafka. Their inclusion helps greatly to bring the elements of the philosophy out of dry generalities and into the real of human experience.
I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in existentialism, but also for a richer look at the works of writers mentioned above.
"Made want to read Camus!"
But he lost me on Heidegger...
Seriously, great course! The professor conveys passion for the subject and yet the critique is balanced and understandable.
"Loved it!"
A nuanced and careful look at some pretty fiery characters. The professor has a nice cadence and clear speech (rare in philo profs!). I wanted more when he finished!!
"One of the best of the courses series"
Seems to me some subjects are better in audible form; philosophy certainly seems to be a subject that transfers well
I've been a member here for a few years now. Nothing will ever replace printed books for me, but I do enjoy lots of things Audible has!
"Perfect for intermediate philosophy!"
So the thing is, this is a great course. You don't need to be a philosophy major to get anything out of this, but I would recommend it for people who at least know what existentialism is.
"must listen if interested in philosophy"
fantastic listen, time well invested as a story and education in the ways and means of existentialism
Imagine, some type of, virus, attacked the transcript, of this, audiobook, and inserted commas unnecessarily every few words… this is how, this narrator, reads....
"No excuse not to try this book."
Good introduction to the subject with a conversational, not professorial, style. Just enough wit and personal story telling to keep a potentially dark subject matter tolerably light and easy to follow.
"Love Philosophy but This Was Soooo Boring"
People who have ALREADY read many of the works discussed. This course was too technical and detailed for someone new to these philosophers.

School life and planning ahead
School is a major part of a young person's life, not just for learning and gaining qualifications, but it also can be the starting point for friendships, hobbies and out-of-school interests.
This section addresses the specific issues that may come up about being at school with a vision impairment, like adaptations for exams, or how to study most effectively. There is also guidance about starting to plan for life after school, most commonly known as Transition Planning.
In this section you will find information on:
Teaching young people with a vision impairment
There is also information about teaching young people with vision impairment, including subject-specific guidance in our Education Professionals section. You may find it helpful to review this yourself, so that you can influence the way your subjects are supported.

A group of young people have made a short film about their experiences at mainstream secondary school.
Watch the "Through their eyes" video or read the video transcript on the Action for Blind people website.
