First, a little flashback to last Friday, Nov. 11:
DISNEYLAND IS FULL! Funny. Never seemed to stop them in the past??
At any rate, I really wanted to see the fireworks this weekend, so I got there Saturday morning before the park opened (at 8AM). I had so much stuff to do this weekend and had to be sure I could get back in when it mattered most.
Here is the tree (so big I had to chop off the top - sorry!):
And here is the castle at 8AM:
And now for Disneyland's field guide to commonly found birds!
And of couse ducks:
With the ornithological detour at an end, we can get back to our story.
In NOS, I noticed a growing queue by Pirates. But it wasn't for Pirates. It was for the Disney Gallery:
What are all these people waiting for? Oh, that's what:
I was in Disneyland from 8AM to 10 AM and rode Peter Pan, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, and Big Thunder. At a very leisurely pace, I might add. I also picked up FastPasses for Indy, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and Buzz. I then had to get back home and do some yard work that has been piling up for a month or more.
Later that night, I came back to use up the FastPasses. Waiting in line for Indy, who did I meet right behind me but two of the Gumball Rally winners:
It's kind of funny because I ran into the third part of their trio (Aaron, I am sorry I mis-identified you in my previous report) a couple weeks ago at DCA! Brandon and Lindsay here are very funny and crazy crazy (yes I wrote it twice). Brandon assured me he has the prized gumball machine in a place of high esteem, befitting it's regal splendour.
While trying to figure out a good place from which to observe the fireworks, an even more brilliant spectacle flashed before me:
Looks like a Jungle Cruise Gal to me!
The fireworks were great and awesome and I have never tried to do photos of them. Maybe some day I will, but Sadako and Crazy Legs have put up such fine pictures and video that I will happily defer to their expertise.
The following day (Sunday Nov. 19) I spent the first part of the day in Woodland Hills doing tasks not worth mentioning in this (or any) forum. Especially since they prevented me from attending the C.O.W.
I got to DL at around 4PM and felt totally bummed about missing the Meet. But the Happiest Place on Earth does not lack for diversions, so off I went!
I was (sort of) greeted by the Mayor of Disneyland:
Say McCheese! Actually, I went up and said hello to him and congratulated him on his recent re-election.
I wandered over to Big Thunder Mountain to try a few shots using the Night setting on the camera. I like the results:
And off to the Round-Up!
I have never been to this before (for whatever reason) so I was curious to see it.
I don't know. That first reindeer was a real heifer:
The Shed!
With some reindeer in the way.
My name is Blitzen. Is my order ready yet?
Something about that reindeer just ain't right:
Seems friendly enough though.
In the waning light, I tried to get a good shot of the castle. This one came out all right:
And look who showed up on my way to HMH:
And since the Disney Gallery was getting so much attention the day before, I went in to check it out.
Cool artwork:
And a mini-vacation to mini-DL! Some shots of the Olszewski Main Street:
Remember where you parked!
Look familiar?
Up up and away!
Behind the counter, they still have a few signed Pirates miniatures:
So lovely and so inappropriate for 5 year old twins!
Killing time while waiting for my Indy FastPass to come due, I noticed the good doctor himself:
GI Jones? I love how they put his picture right there so you really notice how NOT like him the figure looks.
I was on my out to catch the fireworks from the top level of the Mickey and Friends parking structure when I was accosted by a freshly minted Jungle Cruise skipper:
Wait. Is this that deja-vu thing?
Anyway, she directed me to go around the hub counter-clockwise 3 times and then guess which direction I was facing.
I made it to the parking structure and the show is really neat from up there. Not nearly as crowded and you can avoid shoveling snow on your way out. You can also get to your car and beat a hasty retreat when you have to work the next morning!
Which reminds me that I have to work tomorrow as well. Good thing this report is done because so am I. Thanks for joining me.

On June 30, the world will receive a gift of time: a single, extra second known as a "leap second."
WALLISVILLE, Texas — A man and his son have survived an alligator attack at a lake near Houston.
DELAND — A Central Florida teenager faces multiple charges after authorities say he escaped the custody of a sheriff's deputy and stole a patrol car.
The incident unfolded Sunday in DeLand.
PETALUMA, Calif. -- A 10-year-old mutt named Quasi Modo, whose spinal birth defects left him a bit hunchbacked, is the winner of this year's World's Ugliest Dog contest.
RESTON, Va. — From the moment he went under, the wisecracks began.
Two million fire ants are crawling around inside a modest off-white building on Third Street S.
A nasty infestation? Think again.
Health officials are working to convince tourists and residents that Florida beaches are safe after their recent warning about a summertime bacterium generated overblown headlines.
XENIA, Ohio — A semitrailer carrying 2,200 piglets has overturned on an Ohio highway.
NEW YORK — A New York man who sought help from a fortune teller to fix a romantic relationship says she scammed him out of more than $700,000.
EAST LAKE — Dozens of geese can be seen from the street outside James Parish's home. The feathered creatures waddle around a fenced-in yard, honking now and then.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
For those interested in exhibition football... err, baseball, the Texans are up a touchdown and field goal on the Bears in the 7th inning.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Stubbs flies out to the track in right. 0-0 after 8.
Dang it, that ball leaves on any other day at this ballpark.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
Wow, thought that ball was gone. At least no LOB that inning...
We honestly have 4 guys in this line up who should be batting 8th. The guy batting 8th for us should be batting 2nd....according to his OBP
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
It's easy to joke about this kind of a game being in first place. If this were previous years, I'd be ready to stick my arm in the garbage disposal and flip the on switch.

Like millions of other small businesses, I have a Facebook page for my little Etsy shop which I use to showcase and yes, promote my business. What else is a business page for? But I just stumbled upon this info on my personal FB newsfeed -
"Facebook recently dropped a bombshell concerning business pages and promotional posts.
What does this mean for your business?
If you currently promote your store, products or services on Facebook (and what dedicated business owner doesn't?), your business page will be able to reach fewer Facebook users than ever before.
What does Facebook consider promotional posts from businesses?
Posts that promote products or services ("Check out our new arrivals," "Don't miss our sidewalk sale, today only," "Grab this look for only $50," etc.)
Posts that encourage Facebook users to Like, Share or Comment to enter to win something
Posts that are created with the intention of getting Facebook users to purchase from you
Why the change? Here's what Facebook had to say:
"As part of an ongoing survey we asked hundreds of thousands of people how they
feel about the content in their News Feeds. People told us they wanted to see
more stories from friends and Pages they care about, and less promotional
And thus, Facebook announced a change that will allow less – and eventually zero – of your promotional posts to be visible to your customers."
(via Retail Marketing Acadamy)
What? None of our promotional posts will be visible? Why?
I can see people not wanting ads and links to buy stuff constantly on their news feed, but to solve that problem all they need to do is not like any business's page. I would like to think that the people who chose to like my page are perfectly ok with the fact that they might see some promotions. That may even by WHY they liked my page in the first place, so they could see new items I have created, because hey, they might just want to buy them. If they're sick of it, they can just hide or unlike my page. Facebook needs to leave this alone and let us users decide on what content we get, not them.
This is yet another disappointing move by Facebook, right up there with making businesses pay to have more of their own fans see their posts, or get more likes. Um, no.
Now I know the skeptics might be saying the this Retail Marketing Academy is just trying to drum up some business by scaring us page managers, but let me tell you that I have seen a significant drop in the amount of reach in each of my posts the past couple weeks. I'm talking 12 people saw a post compared to 100 last month. That's why this caught my eye. I had been wondering what the heck was going on with Facebook lately.
So what now? I guess it's time to really figure out the ways of Instagram and Twitter, until they turn into the next Facebook that is. Ugh.
Thanks for listening to my rant. What do you think? Don't businesses have a right to promote? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Until Next Time,

Re: pbuffer rendering in background X-session
Thanks for the reply, Thunderbird.
It's partly trying to make the most of limited resources. The machine is the main visualisation server used within a VR lab. The web server running on the machine is set up to provide real-time interactive graphics to any connected web browser (similar approach to SGI's VizServer, but via a standard browser interface). As well as keeping the web server running continually, I also want to allow people to log in at the machine and use its graphics features normally, so using a separate X-session (and maybe the second FX3450 card) for their login, from the one that the web server uses for its own rendering needs, is desirable.
A side issue is that I'm also trying to measure how fully the graphics card resources on a multi-card / multi-processor setup can be used. For a lot of the work, the VGA/DVI card outputs aren't needed, but the ability to render to pixel buffers and pull these back into main memory as fast as possible, is. It would be useful to know if separate X servers, each using it's own card will work, or if a single X server with access to both cards is going to be better.
Hope that this makes sense. I'm not sure that I've explained it as well as I might, but it's a bit of an odd configuration and I'm still working through my own mental model of the architecture.
All the best,

The body is cylindrical with a series of five wide grooves encircling the body at regular intervals from approximately halfway up its length to near the top. The platform is shaped like a circular disc. The pillar-like body is topped by a cotton reel shaped form. A brass, screw-top tube projects from the centre of this cotton reel shaped form and heads a circular hollow that pene- trates down through the centre of the body and exits via the centre of the plat- form bottom. A subsiduary channel exits via the side of the platform, the channels serving as receptacles for electric cords.
Found in Area A of workshop. Displayed on high shelves in area that may have functioned as display area/shop window.

cargo carrier MK Airlines has bought a second ex-Kitty Hawk International
McDonnell Douglas DC-8-63 freighter from UK aircraft marketing and asset
management specialist Focus Aviation.
Airlines, which suffered the loss of a Boeing 747-200 freighter during a
landing accident at Port Harcourt in Nigeria towards the end of November,
acquired a DC-8 from Focus last month.
latest addition is the tenth former Kitty Hawk DC-8 sold by Focus in the past
14 months. Customers for the aircraft have included Memphis-based Universal
Asset Management.
says the sales make it "optimistic" that it can also dispose of another two
DC-8-62s which the company is currently marketing.

So, it's with great pleasure that I can announce the arrival of a woman who should be able to break the seemingly arbitrary 'glass ceiling' in country music; Jana Kramer. While she's a beautiful brunette, Jana adds a potent vocal and burgeoning songwriting talent on top of her model looks. It's a potent package that certainly should find Kramer plenty of female and male fans alike.
Her debut single "Why Ya Wanna" finds the Michigan native showcasing a surprising twang that effortlessly flows as she sings about the guy she's still not quite over. It's a charming feature to her voice that appears on every song so it's not as if she's 'faking' the twang. "Good Time Comin' On" leads off the record and finds Jana mixing a traditional country melody that has her voice sounding like a unique blend of Ashton Shepherd and Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum. It's a fun tune that could be a potential country radio smash sometime in 2013 (as a spring/summer song perhaps).
The mandolin parts of "I Hope It Rains" kind of remind me of "Baba O'Reilly" while the rest of the song uses some pop rock power chords in the melody but Jana sings the lyrics in a matter which make the single a clear modern country pop song while "Goodbye California" finds Jana perfectly happy to have given up the 'glamourous life' of a Los Angeles actress for her country music career and life in the south (Nashville). Two other tempo-filled tracks which clearly standout are "King of Apology" and "What I Love About Your Love."
"Whiskey" and "Good As When You're Bad" stand out as the best ballads on the record but in all honesty, this record falls right in line with quite a few of the new artist releases in 2012 thus far. In fact, we think this record is one of the 12 best albums I've heard in the year through the first of June.
Jana Kramer had a lot riding against her in Nashville, one thing being her career as an actress on One Tree Hill but if this record proves anything, it's that she's serious about being a country star and as a 20-something female, she is singing to the mainstream's #1 demographic and fans should find something to easily relate to on this record. I cannot recommend this one enough.

Sharp pain in my right side won't go away
well i have been taken off my feet for the rest of the pregnancy, i can work but i have to work at the front desk instead of the clinic on my feet like i normally would...i have serious back issues, my lower right back, my OB sent me to an occupational health dr. to have it looked at and its a "lumbar strain" and he said it'll stay till after baby comes, but mine is terrible pain!! i was up crying until about 2 am last night because of it!
Justine (26)& Dave (27)<3
One AMAZING baby boy born 8/22/2011
We're tied the knot 5/26/2012 <3 !!!!
How bad is the pain? If it's unbearable, it could be a kidney stone. I've got two in my right side...they are more common during pregnancy :(
It sounds like you have kidney stones!! They are so painful! I have had them twice with this pregnancy!!! Please get checked out the pain with kidney stones does not go away and you will feel like shit!!!!
Mama of 6 wonderful Diva's!�Kayden due in Sept but C-section in August!! Also Mama of wonderful pitbulls!! Married to my best friend! :)�
I was going to guess kidneys as well. When you say "right side" do you mean at the front or the back? If it's back "Flank" pain I would say it's more likely to be kidneys (sort of where your waist used to be where there is/was a curve). There's always the possibility of your appendix on the right side too so definitely get it checked out.
If it is your kidneys, it could be stones or a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). I have had a number of UTI's pre-pregnancy that present exactly how you're describing. If you wee in a cup they can confirm it pretty quickly - or send it off to the labs for more specific results.
I have had this pain 4 times since I have been preggo (which felt just like UTIs in the past) but there was no bacteria so it's not a UTI. They suspected kidney stones but never did any testing. You can't get a CAT scan when pregnant and ultrasounds aren't great at picking up stones. Also, you can't treat them like you would normally if you weren't pregnant (so hope it's not that!). My pain went away on it's own, which was good, but each time it's come back it's been more severe, which is bad. I ended up in so much pain I couldn't even drive myself to hospital last time but then the next day it was gone again.
Drinking lots of water is great for flushing out your kidneys - just make sure you have those heartburn pills nearby!
I have had a pain in my side that felt like a side stitch. When I asked the dr. at my last appt. she just said it is from the ligaments, etc. on my side stretching. It comes & goes but hasn't been too much that I felt the need to contact her again. I go back next week again. My sister had kidney stones REALLY bad while pregnant & it was extremely painful for her. I hope that it is not that for you. Good luck!
Tana married to my DH 5/29/10
First Love!
Tanner: 7/23/11, mc 5/2012
Could the baby be kicking you in the ribs? Just saw my OB today and complained about it, and he said on the right side especially it can be so painful that it feels like gallbladder stones. Hope you feel better!

Xerox's Burns Looks to Europe, Latin America to Boost ACS Sales
May 11 (Bloomberg) -- Xerox Corp., a year into integrating its $6 billion purchase of Affiliated Computer Services Inc., is expanding its services business internationally to boost sales after its largest deal ever.
"There's significantly more to go -- it's a big opportunity," Chief Executive Officer Ursula Burns said in an interview yesterday after the company's investor briefing at the New York Stock Exchange. ACS, which helps customers handle tasks such as accounting and human resources, gets more than 90 percent of its sales from North America.
Burns is trying to squeeze costs and boost sales while integrating ACS. She projects that expanding services -- first in Europe and then in Latin America -- will increase sales in the unit 6 percent to 8 percent next year.
"We have a very, very strong presence already," Burns said. "Xerox is everywhere in Europe."
The company boosted its 2012 earnings forecast yesterday and also reiterated its profit forecast for this year, according to a statement.
Xerox, based in Norwalk, Connecticut, climbed 28 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $10.46 yesterday in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have dropped 9 percent this year.
The company has started hiring sales personnel for services in Europe, focusing on selling first to Xerox customers, Burns said. The services market there could be a $3 billion business for Xerox, said Lynn Blodgett, the former CEO of ACS who now heads the division for Xerox.
Cost Cutting
Xerox cut costs by $100 million in 2010 after the ACS deal, and plans to slash another $120 million this year, Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said yesterday. Burns is using services from ACS internally to help Xerox lower costs. She's also eliminated about 5,000 jobs.
While total sales climbed 16 percent last quarter as it gained ACS services, revenue at the company's technology business, including its printing equipment and related supplies, was little changed for the second consecutive quarter.
Xerox forecast sales to increase by 1 percent to 3 percent in the technology unit next year, as it expands equipment distribution to small and medium businesses and boosts sales of color pages.
Per-share profit, excluding some items, will be $1.18 to $1.28 next year, the company said, boosting its earlier forecast of of $1.10 a share to $1.20. Analysts, on average, estimated $1.23, according to a Bloomberg survey. Xerox maintained its 2011 forecast of $1.05 per share to $1.10, excluding some items.
Repurchasing Shares
Total sales will increase 4 percent to 6 percent in 2012, compared with the company's forecast of 3 percent to 5 percent this year. On that basis, sales would be at most $22.7 billion this year, compared with analysts' average estimate of $22.9 billion.
Xerox also reiterated its plan to begin repurchasing shares this year, after halting buybacks after the ACS acquisition. The company will spend at least 70 percent of its available cash, which should total $1 billion to $1.2 billion, on the repurchases, starting in the third quarter, Maestri said at the investor briefing.
"It's a huge deal -- massive, massive," said Ananda Baruah, an analyst with Brean Murray & Co. of the repurchases. "It's as big a reason that people are in the stock as anything else."

As President Barack Obama's proposal to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 stalls in Congress, companies like Swedish furniture giant IKEA are pushing forward with pay hikes of their own.
Twenty-three states, including Washington, D.C., have wages that top the federal minimum. Cities across the U.S. are also adopting a medley of higher wages with Seattle in early June raising minimum pay to $15 an hour, the highest in the country.
The last time the U.S. saw a wage hike was back in 2007 when minimum pay was raised in three increments over a two-year period from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour.
A Congressional Budget Office analysis in February found that raising the minimum wage would lift 900,000 people out of poverty but also result in a loss of 500,000 jobs by 2016. There are about 45 million people currently living below the poverty threshold, CBO estimates.
But companies like IKEA and Gap aren't waiting around for a federal mandate. Here's a look at eight companies paying entry-level workers more than the federal minimum, which could add some pressure to McDonald's Corp. MCD, +0.43% and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, -0.03%
—Michelle Coffey
IKEA is raising its minimum hourly wage by about 17% to $10.76 on Jan. 1, 2015. The pay will be pegged to a cost-of-living calculator, which factors in taxes and housing, food and transportation costs based on the store's location. The company also said it will not be raising prices as a result of the wage hikes.
Gap Inc. GPS, +0.44% is bumping up its minimum hourly wage to $9 an hour this year and $10 an hour in 2015. More than 65,000 workers will see a pay increase. "It's good for business," Gap spokeswoman Paula Conhain said in a statement. It's helping the store "attract and retain the best talent in retail, which is a real competitive advantage for us," she said. The Huffington Post reports Gap has since seen a spike in job applicants since it unveiled its plan to raise pay.
Costco Wholesale Corp.'s COST, -0.07% hourly pay starts at $11.50 an hour and the average employee makes about $21 an hour, according to a Bloomberg Businessweek profile. The wholesale retailer's CEO and President Craig Jelinek has been a vocal advocate of Obama's push to raise minimum wage above $10. The company comes in second, behind Google Inc., on Glassdoor's list of 2014's Top 25 Companies for Compensation & Benefits.
Whole Foods
Whole Foods Market Inc. WFM, -0.63% starts workers off at $11 an hour and many are eligible for benefits and stock options. A letter to shareholders from earlier this year shows Whole Foods' average hourly wage in 2013 was nearly $19 an hour.
The fast-food company pays all new hires a minimum of $10.50 an hour, according to its website. In-N-Out also offers paid vacations, flex schedules and a 401(k) plan for full-time employees.
Ben & Jerry's
Ben & Jerry's pays entry-level workers $15.97 an hour, based on the living wage in Vermont, a company representative told the Huffington Post. The benefits package includes three free pints of ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbets every day.
Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's workers start out at $13.29 an hour and also get free dental and vision care, paid time off and a retirement plan.
The online apparel company Zappos, owned by Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +0.07% pays its call-center workers $16 an hour, according to Forbes.

In what's being called a 'game-changer' in California politics, former President Bill Clinton is backing San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom for California governor over state Attorney Gen. Jerry Brown.
"This is huge. It's a potential game-changer," said Ben Tulchin, a California-based pollster, told ABC News.
Cinton's decision to appear on Oct. 5 alongside one of his wife's top backers in her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination comes at a critical time for the San Franciso mayor. Newsom has built a Facebook-Twitter base among younger voters, but Brown, a former two-term governor, has raised more than twice as much money as he has.
Clinton's trip to California next month is expected to include an event in predominantly Latino East Los Angeles as well as a high-dollar fundraiser.
"There has never been a former president who has endorsed a candidate in a primary for statewide office in California," said Art Torres, a former state lawmaker who headed the California Democratic Party from 1995 until earlier this year but is neutral in the current race.
"In 1992, Bill Clinton beat Jerry Brown in California by 7 points. He then beat Bush by 13 points in the general," Torres said. "And then in last year's presidential campaign, Hillary [Clinton] beat Obama by 9 points including a 67-to-32 margin among Latinos."
In addition to helping with fundraising and Latinos, the Newsom campaign is hoping that Clinton's endorsement can help the San Francisco mayor make inroads in Southern California.
While California has never in recent memory seen a former president intervene in a competitive statewide primary, Bill Clinton has already done it in two other 2010 races including Rep. Kendrick Meek's, D-Fla., Florida Senate race and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher's Ohio Senate race.

Games To Play (if you haven't already)0

While Western artists have historically often attempted to represent a person exactly how they look, many African artists instead have created portraits based on a specific physical or personality feature of the subject.
This terracotta head, most likely depicting the oni, or king, of ancient Ife, shows that Yoruba sculpture was already highly developed a thousand years ago. Ife court art interprets the human figure with extraordinary naturalism. This head, however, is not intended to be truly representational or realistic. It shows the oni in the prime of life, with no imperfections.
Fiegnon is composed chiefly of a discarded oil jerry can. Although Fiegnon may appear to resemble a mask, Romuald Hazoumé has noted that his works are, in fact, portraits—of particular individuals or of social types. With its long braids, this work represents a Fulani man Hazoumé met fishing in the lagoon where he found the oilcan.
The striking differences in style and materials in these two portraits may also reflect a marked gap in status and power between their two subjects.

In the treatment of
open-angle glaucoma, your eye doctor will try to
reduce the risk of damage to your optic nerve by keeping your eye pressure
(intraocular pressure, or IOP) from rising above a certain level. That level of
pressure is called your target pressure. By reducing the risk of optic nerve
damage, maintaining the target pressure in your eyes may help slow the
progression of the disease.
Tonometry is used to measure the pressure in the eyes. The target
pressure is based on the degree of optic nerve damage, the amount of visual
field loss and, to a lesser degree, the initial pressure in the eye and how
widely it varies each time it is measured. The target pressure varies from
person to person.
The target pressure may be lowered during treatment if there are
signs that your glaucoma is getting worse.

BOGOTA (AlertNet) - Around 1.5 million Haitians are going hungry because devastating floods caused by Hurricane Sandy washed away food crops and harvests and destroyed swathes of agricultural land, the United Nations said on Monday as it appealed for an additional $39 million to fund emergency aid programmes in Haiti.
The appeal is for funds to provide food to the worst-hit farming and rural communities, particularly in western and southern Haiti, healthcare, drinking water and shelter. It brings the total amount sought to meet Haiti's humanitarian needs over the next year to just over $151 million, the U.N. said.
"At the moment, one of our biggest worries is in areas that are still isolated after Hurricane Sandy, where women and children face worsening nutrition. At the same time, it is crucial to help Haitian farmers so that they can plant crops for the small December season and for the main agricultural season in the spring," said Myrta Kaulard, head of the U.N.'s World Food Programme (WFP) in Haiti.
"Without immediate cash contributions, the situation of these rural households will continue deteriorating until the next main crop in mid-2013," Kaulard added in a statement.
The WFP says it will continue to provide food to 20,000 families in Haiti's worst affected areas, totalling almost 800 tonnes this month, including cereals bought locally from smallholder farmers.
Hurricane Sandy hit Haiti on October 23, killing 54 people and damaging or destroying around 30,000 houses. Some 2,300 Haitians are living in hurricane shelters, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Before Sandy, Haiti was still struggling to rebuild following the massive earthquake that hit the island in January 2010.
"This is a major blow to Haiti's reconstruction effort, making life for the most vulnerable Haitians even more precarious," Nigel Fisher, the U.N.'s humanitarian coordinator for Haiti, said in a statement.
"In the meantime, international partners' ability to respond has been reduced by dwindling donor support," added Fisher, who is also the deputy special representative of the U.N. Secretary-General in Haiti.
A combination of rising food prices, drought in May and July, Hurricane Isaac in August and more recently Sandy, has weakened Haiti's already fragile food supply and left thousands of families too poor to buy enough food.
The government estimates the agricultural sector has lost a third of its annual output due to these disasters during the last year. It has declared a month-long state of national emergency.
In the aftermath of Sandy, Haitian health authorities have also reported a rise in the number of new cholera cases, with 1,081 new cases reported in the first week after the storm.
The disaster destroyed 61 cholera treatment centers, reducing the government's already low ability to respond to a spike in the number of new cases, aid agencies say.
Since the epidemic broke out in October 2010 cholera, a water-borne disease, has infected nearly 600,000 people and killed over 7,500 in Haiti, according to government figures.

A short story/rant about my time working at a children's play area in a family restaurant.
This day can't possibly get any worse.
Oh wait.
It can.
All I have to do is stand there, right? Just stand there, take people's money and let the children into the play area. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Try standing on the same spot for nine and a half hours. Needless to say, my feet hurt.
I turn up for work and, first of all, I have to decipher what my colleague is saying. This isn't her fault; she's French, there's really no cure for that (despite centuries of breeding). Anyway, she updates me on the morning's events, how much cleaning she hasn't done and so on. I make a mental list of what there is to do to keep me busy for the next nine to ten hours.
My shift starts at midday and finishes at ten o'clock. During that time I take people's money and – surprise – I let children into the play area. There's more to it than that, though. Oh god is there more to it than that…
1) Contending with people who get offended by our prices. They come up to me wanting to get the kids out of their hair for a while. They've had their food and now they want their peace and quiet. But, before that, they have to pay the one pound entry price. Yes, a pound. Extortion, isn't it? C'mon people, the recession's not for another seven years!
There was this one chap earlier on, god he looked sour. He asked for a Froot Shoot drink for the small boy at his side. I get the flavour he wants and hand it over. "Three pounds fifty, please." I say with a smile. He's not smiling.
"Three pounds fifty for a drink!" he says.
"No, sir", I say, "It's two-fifty for the drink and a pound to go in the play-area."
I'm still smiling.
He hesitates. I maintain eye contact yet, out of the corner of my eye, I see that the child has grabbed and opened the drink. Mouth clamped over the top, he stares up at his father.
(I knew he wasn't going to buy the drink. Most people had the exact same reaction. I've seen it a dozen times before.)

Marisa Miller taps in to Conan O'Brien's inner surferAdd to Favorites | Conan
Marisa Miller is a drop-dead gorgeous Victoria's Secret model. She also happens to have her own line of stand-up paddle boards. Yes, really.
On Monday (Aug. 1) she dropped by "Conan" to talk about her surf-and-sun-tinged youth and give the late-night talk show host a paddling lesson. Well, a paddling lesson that involved a green-screen ocean and lots of double entendres.
Miller's paddle boards, just fyi, are catered to a woman's body. Maybe that's why Conan had such a hard time fake-paddling his.

PITTSBURGH - NOVEMBER 14: Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots celebrates scoring a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 14, 2010 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
Rob Gronkowski Gronkowski will miss an extended period after suffering a fractured forearm in New England's win over Indianapolis. The Pro Bowl tight end underwent surgery to fix the break Monday morning. The good news is bone tissue is able to repair itself back to its original integrity and the inserted hardware will insure the mending bone is properly aligned. Unfortunately, the news does little to help fantasy owners who will likely be without Gronk for the remainder of the fantasy season. The early timeline has been established at four to six weeks, meaning even in the best-case scenario he would return in Week 15 or 16. With the regular season of many leagues ending in Week 14 or 15 a late-season return is irrelevant. In the meantime, the return of Aaron Hernandez should help minimize the effects on Tom Brady's numbers. Hernandez has missed six games nursing a sprained ankle but hopes to return in Week 12. A quick decision will need to be made on Hernandez's availability wi...
