ZURICH CLASSIC OF NEW ORLEANSTPC LouisianaAvondale, LAPar: 36-35—71Yards: 6,973Winner's FedExCup Points Share: 500Purse: $6,300,000Winner: $1,134,0002008 Champion: Andres Romero (275, -13)
In only his 12th PGA TOUR start, Argentina's Andres Romero came from six strokes off the lead at the halfway point and went on to edge Peter Lonard by one stroke to win the 2008 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Because of bad weather, Romero finished his third round Sunday morning and then finished the final round two-and-a-half hours before the last group completed its play.The victory was the high point of Romero's career year, where he finished 28th in the FedExCup, earned $2,064,612 and enjoyed two other top-10 finishes.This is the third consecutive year TPC Louisiana is hosting the event following the course's closure after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Overall, this will be TPC Louisiana's fourth time as the site of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans
Andres Romero, the 2008 Rookie of the Year who earned his first PGA TOUR victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, returns to defend his title this week. Since his win in New Orleans, Romero has made the cut in five consecutive major championships, most recently a tie for 49th at this year's Masters Tournament. This season the 27-year-old has a season-best tie for third at the Northern Trust Open.Louisiana native David Toms made two major changes recently. The first was re-hiring his old caddie, Scott Gneiser, at the 2008 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational after a one-year hiatus. The second was reverting back to his previous equipment company, Cleveland Golf. Eleven of his 12 PGA TOUR titles came using Cleveland clubs. The 2001 PGA Championship winner looks to be back on track after a less-than-satisfactory 2008 when he had just one top-10 finish (a tie for eighth at the Viking Classic) and failed to make more than $2 million in a season ($799,114) for the first time this decade. After nine consecutive years finishing inside the top 32 on the money list, Toms was 131st last year. Toms won this event in 2001 with a 22-under 266. No player posted four rounds in the 60s at the 2008 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. In 2007, Nick Watney became the first Zurich Classic of New Orleans winner to post all four rounds in the 60s (69-67-68-69) since Carlos Franco turned the trick in 2000 when he posted scores of 67-67-68-68 at English Turn Golf and Country Club. Watney is the only player to enjoy all four rounds in the 60s at TPC Louisiana. Watney, this year's Buick Invitational winner, has been outside the top 25 in only one of his nine starts this season (a tie for 59th at the Northern Trust Open).Joe Ogilvie was one of five players to shoot all four rounds in the 60s (66-67-66-68) at the 2004 Zurich Classic of New Orleans when he tied for second with Phil Mickelson, one stroke behind winner Vijay Singh. Ogilvie's only round in the 60s at this tournament since then is a 69 in the first-round of the 2007 edition. He went on to tie for 80th that year.
PGA TOUR• This week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans presents the last opportunity to move into the Top 10 in the FedExCup standings and qualify (if not already qualified) for THE PLAYERS Championship in two weeks. Anyone in the top 58 in the current standings could conceivably reach the Top 10 this week.• You might want to look for a first-time winner this week in New Orleans. The last four winners of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans claimed their first PGA TOUR career title—Tim Petrovic, Chris Couch, Nick Watney and Andres Romero.• Tim Petrovic has found the TPC Louisiana to his liking. In his three starts at the course, Petrovic has finished 1st (2005), T7 (2008) and T24 (2007).• Todd Hamilton will be looking to continue his strong recent play at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. In his last two starts, Hamilton has finished T15 (Masters) and T4 at the Verizon Heritage. The T4 was his first Top-10 finish on TOUR since winning the 2004 British Open. In his last two starts, Hamilton has climbed 92 spots in the FedExCup race and is currently 84th on the list.• Ross Fisher is the newest member of the PGA TOUR accepting Special Temporary Membership for the remainder of 2009. Fisher is currently ranked #33 in the Official World Golf Ranking.• Danny Lee, the current U.S. Amateur champion, will make his professional debut this week at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.• Patrick Sheehan will be looking to equal Paul Stankowki's 1996 record of winning on the Nationwide Tour one week and on the PGA TOUR the following week. Sheehan won last week's Athens Regional Foundation Classic and will tee it up in New Orleans this week.
CHAMPIONS TOUR• Tom Watson and Andy North will be looking to win their fifth consecutive team title at this week's Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Not only have they won four in a row, they haven't made a bogey in 162 holes. North also won a team title in 2000 and 2001 with Jim Colbert, so he'll be going for his seventh team crown.• Tom Lehman will make his Champions Tour debut this week at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Lehman will partner with Bernhard Langer.• How about a little applause for 64-year old Mike McCullough. He finished T7 last week at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am for his best finish since a T4 at the 2004 Allianz Championship.• Doug Ford is expected to compete this week at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf and if he does so, he'll remain the only player to have played in all 32 events in the tournament's history.
NATIONWIDE TOUR• It's been widely reported, but just in case you missed it, Brendon Todd became the first player in Nationwide Tour history to make a hole-in-one on the same hole in consecutive days at last week's Athens Regional Foundation Classic. Todd aced the 17th hole in both the first and second rounds. He made par on the hole in the final two rounds.• The victory last week by Brian Gay was the 243rd on the PGA TOUR by a former Nationwide Tour player.• The field for this week's South Georgia Classic features 31 players who have won on the PGA TOUR, including 10 who have multiple wins.• Kinderlou Forest Golf Club, the site of this week's South Georgia Classic, is the longest course on the Nationwide Tour playing to 7,781 yards.

Close call in Arbor Heights: Tree branch falls near schoolMay 28, 2013 at 8:53 am | In Arbor Heights, West Seattle news | 12 Comments
8:53 AM: Close call in the street out front of Arbor Heights Elementary a short time ago – a tree on the other side of SW 104th lost a branch that itself is the size of a tree! Thanks to Christopher Grupp for the photo (and to others for texting/tweeting about it); we've been to the scene to take a look too – school buses are getting through eastbound, but the westbound side of the road is blocked until the tree can be cleared.
10:21 AM: Neighbors Dana and Ellie report it's cleared:
… and say it's thanks to these guys:
They shared the photos with this update: "Fallen tree in Arbor Heights cleared in one hour's time, thanks to quick teamwork of Pete Good, Craig Harold, and a trusty chainsaw! So grateful for extraordinary neighbors who helped …"
12 Comments
Nice job Pete and Craig! Way to step up and be helpful. Love that neighborhood.
Comment by alkiobserver — 12:27 pm May 28, 2013 #
Nice work Pete and Craig. Good to know there are selfless, motivated neighbors out there when it counts. Is that beer thirt?
Comment by Karl Larsen — 1:21 pm May 28, 2013 #
Kudos to the neighbors for jumping in to help. Kind, generous and caring of them!
I sure hope that they had put the chainsaw away before they broke out whatever adult beverage they have in the brown bag. I trust they also took off their safety goggles and work gloves before raising a glass. Working with a chainsaw is not something to take casually – there are many serious injuries that occur when they are not handled with the utmost respect. Wouldn't want anyone to get the impression from the photo that it is a party activity…
Comment by HungryKids — 2:34 pm May 28, 2013 #
That's not a "brown bag" – that's a cut on part of the tree. Zoom in on the photo.
Those are some funny observations/extrapolations from a single photo HungryKids. Though, I will say, they look like a couple of fun guys to party with.
Comment by alkiobserver — 4:21 pm May 28, 2013 #
Huge assumptions HungryKids.
- incorrectly thinking there is a brown bag in the picture
- automatically assuming it must have been an "adult beverage" in the non existent brown bag
I'm all for safety while using power tools, but your assumptions based on a photo are ridiculous. It would have been nice if you'd limited your comment to your first sentence and left it at that.
Comment by Suzanne — 5:00 pm May 28, 2013 #
Hey HungryKids – how about attending an Alanon meeting instead of trying to nanny others online.
Comment by CJ — 6:21 pm May 28, 2013 #
Good job guys! See Craig, we don't need "super" heroes when regular heroes will do. Way to represent the heights.
Comment by thistle stairs — 7:40 pm May 28, 2013 #
I saw several parents pitch in to help and felt all warm and gooey about our amazing neighborhood.
Comment by furiouskitty — 7:55 pm May 28, 2013 #
Guys, relax, it's just lemonade, we just thought it looked funny. Seriously, they were awesome.
Comment by Ellie — 8:48 pm May 28, 2013 #
Yesterday was the definition of community – really, if you look up "community" in the dictionary there is a picture of Craig and Pete standing there with cups of lemonade after efficiently and safely cutting up the tree that couldn't be moved by Cathy, Cathy, Ellie and I and moving it to the side of the street. Thanks to everyone who helped.
Comment by Dana — 9:02 am May 29, 2013 #
I owe these generous neighbors an apology. My aging eyes played tricks on me and I was convinced that was a brown bag. Pete and Craig – I was wrong and I am sorry I added a sour note to the conversation.
Everyone please do be careful whenever you are using power tools, or around people using them. I have met people whose lives have been upended in a single moment of inattention. Once you're done and the saw's turned off, celebration is in order!

EASTHAM — A two-car crash Friday morning caused a spinout that damaged the front wall of Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar, closing the restaurant temporarily. One person was taken to the hospital with injuries not considered to be life-threatening, according to police and fire officials.
The restaurant reopened at 4:30 p.m. Friday after repairs were completed, Eastham Police Chief Edward Kulhawik said.
Rescuers and the police were called at 11:43 a.m. to the crash, according to a statement from the Police Department. Jeremy Canneto, 23, of Eastham, was trying to turn onto Route 6 from Old Orchard Road when his 2003 Honda Accord collided with a 2013 Hyundai Elantra that was traveling north on Route 6. The Hyundai was driven by Myungsoo An, 52, of Weymouth. The impact of the crash caused the Hyundai to spin, veer off the road and hit the front of the restaurant. A passenger in the Hyundai was taken to the hospital, police said.
A town building inspector was called to the scene to determine the structural integrity of the restaurant and when it would be allowed to reopen, police said.
Northbound traffic on Route 6 was reduced to one lane for about an hour after the incident. The crash remains under investigation by the police, and charges are pending.

Remember the Third Way?
| 1196 hits
LONDON, MARCH 16, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Only a few years ago the "Third Way" was a prime topic for political pundits and international forums. Billed as a kind of middle ground between creaky socialism and free-market "fundamentalism," it captured the attention of the likes of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair.
Today it seems to have fallen out of fashion. The media, for instance, gave scant attention to a recent gathering of political leaders who met to discuss the "Third Way."
From Feb. 22-23, eleven heads of state and government met in Stockholm to exchange "practical experiences of progressive policies to learn from each other and create new progressive strategies on global and national issues," in the words of the organizers. Under the current name Network for Progressive Governance, this group has held other, more publicized gatherings in New York, Florence and Berlin in past years.
The participants this time included presidents (Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland, Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil, Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, and Ricardo Lagos of Chile), prime ministers (Jean Chrétien of Canada, Tony Blair of the United Kingdom, and Lionel Jospin of France) and a chancellor, Gerhard Schröder of Germany.
The closing statement of the summit declared: "We share a commitment to use the power of government to improve peoples´ lives; to foster a fair society and a dynamic economy; and to ensure that the powerful pressures of globalization serve the needs of the many, not the few."
The document went on to enumerate a number of principles to guide the actions of "progressive governments." For economic policy, these included the "commitment to economic discipline and competence," as a condition for social justice; the creation of jobs; and the reform of public services, including opening them up to private-sector participation.
In the social field, the leaders affirmed their aim to provide educational opportunity; to take a firm approach against crime; and to "govern inclusively" by providing equal opportunities for men and women.
With regard to the international sphere, the communiqué spoke of "a global perspective and a multilateral approach." Globalization should be characterized by cultural diversity and the promotion of democracy and human rights, they affirmed. They also announced their resolution to reduce global inequalities, increase aid to poorer nations, and to support a "reformed United Nations."
But the wind has gone out of the sails of this attempt to find a new ideology for progressives, argued the Financial Times on Feb. 23. Compared to the last time this group met, in June 2000, their numbers have dropped due to election losses in the United States, Italy and Argentina. And South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung and Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis both declined invitations.
One factor contributing to its decline is the difficulty in proposing a platform acceptable to leaders from countries with very diverse political traditions. From the start there has been tension between the Anglo-Saxon branch of Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, and the Continental European leaders, particularly French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin.
As Anthony Giddens, one of the chief ideologues of this movement, explained in his introduction to the 2001 book "The Global Third Way Debate," disagreements extend even as to the name. While Blair and Clinton were keen on the "Third Way," the title never gained popularity in Europe.
The Third Way was originally conceived of as an alternative to traditional socialist concepts and to the free-market fundamentalism typified by the Reagan and Thatcher eras. The former, based on government control of the economy, has been overwhelmingly rejected, with even supposedly Marxist China embracing the market economy. As for the second way, described by Giddens as neoliberalism or market fundamentalism, this is not acceptable due to its economic instability and the inequalities it generates.
But if it is clear what the Third Way is against, it is not so easy to define what it is for. Consequently, the meetings of recent years have confined themselves to a series of generalized principles, which in practice commit leaders to very little in terms of concrete action.
A core of beliefs?
The amorphous nature of this center-left philosophy was highlighted by a notable exchange recently in the British House of Commons. During question time a Labor member of Parliament, Tony McWalter, asked Blair for "a brief characterization of the political philosophy which he espouses and which underlies his policies."
The query seemed innocent enough, but it floored the Prime Minister. According to the Guardian on Feb. 28, the question left Blair both amazed and baffled. In the end he stammered out a reply, pointing out how the government is committed to rebuilding the health system.
The Prime Minister had a second bite at the cherry last Tuesday, when he addressed a group of academics at the London School of Economics. "Is there a core of beliefs that will sustain us?" he asked at the start of his speech. Oddly, he never seemed to answer his own question.
Blair started off with a fierce criticism of the Thatcher years and the "Tory values of elitism and selfish individualism." But his exposition of the Labor Party position was little more than a laundry list of achievements: the strong economy, the banning of handguns, Britain´s influence in the world, etc.
As for the future, Blair talks of a "third phase of New Labor." His description of this phase is a shopping list of initiatives -- "driving forward reforms, a sustained improvement in productivity and enterprise, overhauling the criminal justice system, welfare reform that cuts even further the numbers on benefit, completing House of Lords reform, Britain taking its rightful place at the center of Europe, implementing the plan for Africa" -- with nary a hazard as to what the "core of beliefs" may be.
David Davis, Conservative Party chairman, said Blair´s speech was an "elegant piece of waffle" and a "cosmetic gimmick," reported the Telegraph on March 13. An editorial in the Financial Times the same day was more brutal. Titled "Blah blah Blair," the leader characterized the Prime Minister´s attempts to explain his party´s philosophy as "vacuous" and "windy rhetoric."
It would be unfair to single out Blair as the only center-left leader uncertain about his ideological underpinnings. Ad Melkert, leader of the Dutch Labor Party, published an essay March 5 in the Financial Times explaining where Europe should be headed.
The text concentrates on the themes of economic reforms and public services. Melkert rejected the "smaller government" position, but at the same time insisted on providing better services and creating "an attractive climate for private investment."
What emerges from these statements is a ritualistic rejection of an extremist free-market ideology, combined with moderate reform proposals marked more by desires to win public support than by any clearly delineated philosophical position.
Occupying the center ground in politics is now the principal objective. It´s clear that winning power is necessary in order to bring about changes. But the Network for Progressive Governance runs the risk of reducing itself to pragmatism and a desire to maintain an attractive public image rather than establishing any core values for contemporary political philosophy.

NEW YORK -- Sandy Weill is having a change of heart.
Weill, the aggressive dealmaker who built Citigroup on the idea that in banking, bigger is better, said Wednesday that he believes big banks should be broken up.
Speaking on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Weill, 79, appeared to shock the show's anchors when he said that consumer banking units should be split from riskier investment banking units. That would mean dismembering Citigroup as well as other big U.S. banks, like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.
It's an idea that's traditionally more in line with the banking industry's harshest critics, not its founding fathers. It's an ironic twist coming from an empire-builder who nursed Citigroup into a behemoth.
Weill, who with his wife, Joan, donated $12 million last year to complete Sonoma State University's $120 million Green Music Center and has a home in Sonoma, said the radical change is necessary if U.S. banks want to rebuild trust and remain on top of the world's financial system. Weill also criticized banks for taking on too much debt and not providing enough disclosure about what's on their balance sheets.
"Our world hates bankers," he said.
Big banks have been villainized in the financial crisis and its aftermath. Resentment lingers over the government's using taxpayer money to give bailout loans to the biggest banks, including Citigroup.
But standalone investment banks, Weill said, wouldn't take deposits, so they wouldn't be bailed out. Banks that have both investment banking and consumer banking say it's necessary to keep them together because they balance each other, ensuring stability no matter the economy.
Weill's professed conversion set off a flurry of reactions. The banking industry's critics hailed it. "Sanford Weill is one of many banking industry experts who have observed that too big to fail is often too big to manage," Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said.
Others were unimpressed. Joshua Brown, a New York investment adviser and blogger, called Weill "the original architect of Too Big To Fail" banking and noting that Weill didn't apologize "for the Citigroup he built or its imitators."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Welcome to Day 2 of the post-Urban Florida coaching search. This time it's for real. We think.
Florida AD Jeremy Foley says he'd like to have someone hired in 2-2 1/2 weeks. He also says he hasn't contacted any candidates. Of course, he hasn't. That's not the way searches work. Coaches who want to remain anonymous can keep on the down low by speaking to a third party. You can bet some influential Gators have been burning up the phone lines talking to candidates already -- probably some of these candidates.
Here's my list in descending order of probability...
Bobby Petrino, Arkansas: You know Petrino would come. Moss is practically growing on him by now in Fayetteville. If he does leave, the Hogs cannot whine at all. You knew (or should have known) what you were getting into when you hired this guy.
It would be a good get for Foley, but for how long?
Kyle Whittingham, Utah: Hire back-to-back Utah coaches? Why not? This is the perfect job at the perfect time for Whittingham. Meyer's former defensive coordinator with the Utes kept the momentum going after his boss left for Florida.
The biggest drawback: Whit is an accomplished head coach already headed to a BCS conference (Pac-12). He could take a bigger step going to the SEC. If they hired him, the Gators would play defense, I guarantee you that.
Dan Mullen, Mississippi State: This is almost too easy. Florida has to call him and Mullen has to accept to get out of StarkVegas after two seasons. Florida's offense hasn't been the same since the former Gators offensive coordinator left.
Here's what bothers me: Mullen isn't exactly known as an aggressive recruiter. His record in two seasons with the Bulldogs is still only 13-11. On the plus side: Steve Spurrier didn't enjoy recruiting either and he did all right. Mullen would unite the Gator Nation, although whoever gets hired is going to be the guy to follow the guy. Never a good thing in the coaching profession. You know what happened here the last time a coaching icon left.
Kevin Sumlin, Houston: Foley loves him.
Jon Gruden, NFL analyst: This is getting tiring. Gruden's name will come up. It will gain momentum and he won't get the job. Unless they've absolutely fallen in love with him, ADs are wise to his act. Gruden wants to alert NFL GMs and owners that he is available. That's what the whole Miami thing was about.
Chip Kelly, Oregon: If his team wasn't playing for the national championship I bet he'd more than listen. The timing, though, is a deal breaker. Kelly wouldn't leave until after the BCS title game (Jan. 10) and Florida sure wouldn't wait that long.
Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: There will be some sentiment for Spurrier's former defensive coordinator to come "home". Insiders know that Stoopsie is perfectly happy in Norman, loves his AD (Joe Castiglione) and can continue to compete for Big 12 and national championships each year. Sorry, Gators.
Chris Petersen, Boise State: As much as I like Pete, he wouldn't last three minutes in Florida's media fish bowl. There's a reason he hasn't left yet. Petersen is completely comfortable at a place where he can win forever.
Larry Fedora, Southern Miss: Could be dark horse candidate.
Will Muschamp, Texas defensive coordinator: If this had happened a year ago -- wait a minute, it did -- Muschamp might have a better chance. Anyway, no matter where the fault lies Muschamp's star fell a little bit this season after Texas' horrid 2010. Muschamp, with an SEC pedigree, could be a fallback candidate if the search hits some snags.
Charlie Strong, Louisville: Florida's former D coordinator is a strong recruiter and great man. Florida needs a rock star. Charlie Strong is not a rock star.
Jim Harbaugh, Stanford: NFL first, Michigan second, Stanford third if neither of the first two open up. Florida isn't going to be option No. 4.
Steve Spurrier, South Carolina: Don't. Think. So.

Enjoying every minute
Oswaldo Minda talks about MLS and So Cal weather
June 30, 2012
Six months have passed and Ecuadorian Oswaldo Minda has already established himself among the top midfielders in the league, obtaining his first nomination to the 2012 MLS All-Star Team. The midfielder signed with Chivas USA just two days after having been crowned National Champion of the country's Serie A league with his now ex-club Sociedad Deportivo Quito, where he helped the team earn two national championships. Now, he is searching for another one with Chivas USA.
"I'm very happy to be here. I'm trying to give my all with my experience in soccer and give all that experience on the field," Minda said. "We're in a good position; we're close to qualifying [to playoffs] and we're going to have to improve this second half of the season."
In the 16 weeks of the MLS season, Minda has played a total of 14 games (all starts), missing just two games due to yellow card accumulation (he will also miss the match vs Vancouver on 7/7) and international duty with the Ecuadorian National Team. But just in the sixth week of the season, Minda proved his winning mentality when he scored the victory goal as Chivas USA defeated Toronto at home, earning him the Latino of the Week title and a nomination to MLS Goal of the Week.
After six months with the Red-and-White, Minda has started getting used to MLS; a league in which he believes is very competitive and different to those in South America.
"In South America, we play very good, but this league is also very competitive, and a better league than most in South America," Minda said. "For the infrastructure, the players in the league, the stadiums and the fans, obviously that helps in the development of the player. This league is very attractive, at a good level and hopefully things will turn out well."
But the move to another league has not just been at the professional level, but also personal. Minda had played in Ecuador all his life, so moving to another city, let alone, another country, has not been easy, but six months later, he's getting used to it, enjoying all that Southern California has to offer (including Disneyland and other theme parks) with his family.
"I really like the weather and my team. Here, we have everything at our reach," Minda said. "My family is very happy. So now we have to continue focusing on our job and win what's important."
For Minda, the goal that Chivas USA must reach by the end of the season is clearer than water. And obtaining anything less is not in his plans.
"For me, there is no other alternative that is not winning the championship. We're a team that is growing and we're improving more everyday," Minda concluded.

Despite management's warnings, Aramark employees at WWU seek to form union
After graduating from culinary school, Michelle Wolters knew that she would be happy making soups and sauces for a living, so when she got the opportunity to do just that at WWU, it seemed like the perfect job.
When she started at Western's Viking Union, Wolters said, she was guaranteed a 40-hour a week job, eight hours a day, meaning she would have the ability to apply for, and afford, benefits.
Last year, Aramark was successful in earning a 10-year contract with WWU, providing dining services to all of the university's dining halls, catering, and retail cafes and markets across campus. Their contract began September 1, 2011.
Like her new employer, Wolters said she is also new to working at WWU.
"I was excited about it," Wolters said. "I still am, because I love my job."
What she doesn't love is that Aramark is seemingly trying to intimidate employees from forming a union, after cutting their hours.
Shortly after applying for medical benefits, Wolters said her hours were cut to 30 per week–full time by Aramark's standards, but not enough for her to be able to afford her benefits, she said. The explanation she was given: it was slow.
"Thirty hours a week, I can't survive," Wolters said. "I'm now looking for a second job. That means I'm going to be working seven days a week, just to make ends meet."
It's issues like these, as well as stressful conditions regarding the time clock and breaks, and no set pay raise or evaluation schedule, that make Wolters, and other Aramark employees, want a contract, and they want Union help to get one.
A few months ago, Wolters said, a fellow Aramark employee approached the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) local chapter about starting that process.
Earlier this month, Aramark Resident District Manager Stephen Wadsworth weighed in on the situation, sending a letter to all Aramark employees urging them to "think carefully before becoming involved."
"Deciding whether to join a union is a very serious issue, [emphasis kept]" Wadsworth wrote in the letter that was delivered to employees. "And I hope everyone will think carefully before becoming involved."
In the letter (see below), Wadsworth said he was writing the letter to the employees so that they would know their rights, and know that they do not have commit, or stay committed to, a Union, and that a Union may not be in their best interests as an employee.
"You and I working together can continue to make our operation at Western Washington University a better place to work," Wadsworth wrote. "I believe that after you have given this matter the kind of thorough consideration it requires you will see that you do not need a union and will exercise your right [sic] not sign the Authorization Card."
But one paragraph in particular has employees, like Wolters, worried.
"A union can also cost you your job. As non-union employees, you do not have to worry about the possibility of a strike. At Union Companies, strikes are common place. Employees who are on strike receive no paycheck and are not allowed to collect unemployment compensation. Worse than that, employees who go on strike can be permanently replaced."
"I felt it was intimidating," Wolters said. "It pretty much stated 'If you join a union you will be fired,' without actually saying it. That's the message I got. "
Wolters said that, while Aramark has held focus groups to gather concerns from their employees, she doesn't feel the company is really listening, and a Union will help them have a say in the decisions that affect them most as employees.
"We really feel as if the only way we are going to be able to better our working conditions is to have a voice in these decisions and the only way to do that is to have a union and to have it in writing what's going to happen as far as our jobs are concerned," Wolters said.
In a letter delivered to WWU President Bruce Shepard, Western's faculty union, United Faculty of Western Washington, stated they also felt the tone of Wadsworth's letter was not in-line with Western's values and gave a misinformed view of unions.
"The letter from Aramark offers a deeply flawed view of the value and integrity of unions," the letter, signed by UFWW members said. "Moreover, the letter foes well beyond giving offense and trespasses on the right of employees to make fair and informed decisions in an environment free from fear and coercion."
Reached by email, an Aramark communications representative, Megan Haney, said Aramark does indeed respect the employees' right to make the decision on their own.
"While we do not believe that third party representation best serves the interests of our employees, the students, or our client, ARAMARK recognizes the right of its employees to choose to be represented or to not be represented by a labor organization."
Despite not having heard anything else regarding forming a union from Wadsworth or Aramark, Wolters said she thinks just by beginning the union-forming process, things have changed for the better for Aramark employees.
Before, employees were told that in order to continue earning health benefits throughout the summer, when many of them may be unemployed due to lack of business, they would need to file through COBRA, an expense that many of them may not have been able to afford, Wolters said.
Shortly after that, when employees had made that one of their focuses to work toward fixing with the help of the Union, Aramark approached the employees and said that was a misunderstanding and that they would remain covered.
"I'm looking at it and it's like, we don't even have the Union in place yet and it's already benefitting us," Wolters said.
Wolters said the Union hasn't officially been formed yet, but is gaining a lot of support. The next step is to petition the National Labor Relations Board to hold a secret ballot to see how the Aramark employees really feel.
Having never been a part of something like this before, Wolters said she's not sure how long the process will take. But to her, it's time well spent.
"The way I look at it is, even if it takes six months, it's worth it," she said. "I think what we're doing is paving a road for future employees so they wont come across situations like this."

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?

After three hours of gentle cajoling, a young maiden and I slipped into my room for the rupturing of a lifetime. Twenty minutes later, amid declarations of undying love, she had managed to take off my pants.
"No, no, my dear," I whispered, "this will not do. We have hours to fulfill the night's promise. Let's not rush and ruin."
She agreed, and we resumed dry gyrations. This was my first mistake, for she was still in her jeans while I was in naught but billowy boxers. For all intents and purposes, it was tumescent flesh against denim. A funny thing happens to the mind in the throes of passion: it shuts down pain receptors, even those in one's tenderest regions. By the time we were both naked and the "Are you sure you want to do this?"s had been said, my soldier was abraded to the point of hemorrhage. Even then I was unaware of the damage, however, because I was concentrating solely on the line of bullshit streaming from my mouth. And as I entered her, I began to feel the pain. It was as if I had attempted to mount a salt mine. I prayed to God she would attribute my tears to my sensitive nature. After five minutes of agony, I faked completion and excused myself, fleeing to the bathroom. When I pulled off my underpants and looked down, I found a pathetic burn victim, bleeding far more than a penis ever should. Legend has it this poor girl found me there sometime later, passed out in a puddle of blood. And to this day she is an avowed lesbian.
I'm a rock star—sort of. I had drugs—sort of. And the girls liked me—sort of. So did I have sex with all three of them—all young, beautiful, naked, double-D-breasted three of them? Oh, yes. I invited one of my girlfriend's best friends (all of 17 years old!), a 23-year-old Gothic type who'd done a little professional photography (take that however you want to), and, of course, my girlfriend (because it ain't really cheating if she's there). The next thing I knew, the three girls and I were sitting very close together. It was too much—all those, um, possibilities within arm's reach. So many combinations you can make with four people. So many. And then when daylight arrived, the 17-year-old freaked out, and I had to chase her down the road. A few days later, my girlfriend and the Gothic porn star decided to start making out while the three of us were at the movies. I was told they needed each other. I was crushed. And now all I've got on the horizon is a m�nage a moi. "Exploring" can be really hard on your heart and soul.
Some friends and I went into a bar we knew right away was trouble: it was empty except for a wall lined with hookers. They immediately latched on to us like leeches and began rifling through our pockets. We ordered drinks; the hooker ordered for me. I don't know exactly what it was, but it was a mixed drink, which I know now is a bad sign. After the drink, I began to feel funny. I couldn't really move right. My limbs didn't respond to my thoughts. She climbed on my lap and started to work. Then she rolled off me and giggled to her friend, who was busy robbing my drugged-up companion. Then she grabbed my wallet and took all my money. I couldn't do anything. She gave me back my empty wallet, and I sat there for a while. Then panic hit me, and I got up, crashing into tables and chairs. I lurched out of the bar and onto the street. I began running wildly until I found another friend asleep in his car. I banged on the window until he woke up.
"Man, I got AIDS!" I screamed and drooled at him.
"What did you do?" he asked.
"I think I had sex with a whore!"
"Well, shit, then that's what you deserve," he said. "Why did you do that?"
"I don't know," I said.
"You two should just get it over with and sleep together," the art director said. Oh, shit, I thought. He knows. But as the conversation continued, it became clear he had no clue that the new salesperson and I had inked that particular contract months ago. This wasn't two college bartenders sneaking off after closing. This was a full-time fling in a real job, and just three weeks after swearing to keep things strictly business, there I was: lying on her disheveled comforter, praying out loud that nobody had seen that subtle 30-minute liplock in the middle of the dance floor—or our straight-to-bed tango out the door. Sneaking down the street for a midnight meeting was almost too exciting. So were the twisted trysts during trade shows or after-office parties, where we'd test the limits of time, location and occasionally taste. A little less enjoyable were the camouflaged interoffice squabbles the day after, like trying to pass off a romantic problem as a printer issue. And when the road signs indicating that the thrill ride was heading toward "true relationship" became more frequent, a battle ensued between work ethic and "working it." But eventually it became clear that this was more than just some oversexed overtime. So we waited for the Christmas party to expose ourselves, took a bow for our Oscar-winning performances, and then it was back to business as usual. Four years later, we share a house and a wedding date, but no office, and those once all-consuming jobs are now little more than fodder for r�sum�s. It's funny. We spent eight months fighting a relationship for fear it might ruin us, and we ended up being fixed for life.

The Hunted (nBSG)
View Single Post
January 6 2013, 03:40 PM
Re: The Hunted (nBSG)
. . . furthermore, the Raptors have searched this system exhaustively in the last twenty-four hours, Captain Jon Banacek said. We have detected no ships or debris indicative of combat. Whatever happened here is long over, gentlemen.
Except that while we know the final log entry was made two hundred and twenty one days ago, Major Denise Church said in a very sour voice, we know from those same logs that Typhon had six times the amount of fuel we found on-hand at that time. The pumps have been activated at least four times since that final log entry and a massive amount of tylium transferred; enough to fuel two
-class Battlestars running on empty.
And not one body has been discovered aboard the station, Mathias mused. The corpses were removedit strains credibility that they all floated away into vacuum. Sensor logs?
Erased, Commander. Even the back-up disks were wiped cleanand those are supposed to be secure from tampering, added Captain Joan Danis, the ships DRADIS, communications, and computer systems officer added.
Munitions stores aboard Typhon were also broken into, chimed in Captain Paul Cook, the chief of
s tactical section. Almost all of the Viper and Raptor munitionsshells, missiles, and droneswere removed, along with the contents of the secure nuclear warhead storage facility. Chief Sinclair found enough ordnance remaining though to fill our magazines to capacity, both for the Air Wing and the gun mounts.
Food? Air? Spare parts? asked Mathias.
Untouched, Commander, answered Major Marius Tyche, the ships operations officer and third in chain of command. We have stripped Typhons holds bare of anything we can possibly use, but there are still tons of supplies on-hand. We might squeeze in a bit more, but for now we are fully stocked, Sir; atmosphere has been exchanged and our water supply topped off, along with frozen provisions from the station for our pantries. I instructed the Chief to kill the power plant again and vent the station to vacuumjust like when we found it.
Colonel? the Commander asked, and the XO nodded.
We arent going to find anymore answers here . . . but Ive got an itch between my shoulder-blades something fierce, Commander. Rambler and I have been speaking, and we would like to send a recon patrol of Raptors into Cyrannus before we put the ship at risk. Jon?
The CAG stood again. Commander, I asked my pilots for volunteersthey all stepped forward. Admittedly, a Raptor is bit more vulnerable than
herself, but if there is trouble back home, we wont be risking the crew jumping in absolutely blind. At the moment, we are planning for four Raptors on the mission, one each for the planetary systems around each of the four stars our colonies orbit.
That is half our complement, Captain, Mathias said, but the tone of voice was one of question, not objection.
Yes, Sir. However, we should know by the traffic pretty fast whether or not anything is wrong. Raptor 101 will deploy into the Erebos Asteroid Field in the Helios Alpha sub-system; from there, it should be able to get a good look at Caprica, Picon, Gemenon, and Tauron. 104 is tasked with Helios Beta, with a destination of the Ouranos Belt for a look at Leonis and Virgon. 105 has been assigned to Helios Gamma, destination of the Acheron Belt. That should allow the crew a good look at Scorpiabut Saggitaron and Libran are on the opposite side of the system. And finally, 107 will enter the rings of Hestia, which shares an orbit with Aerilon and Canceron. From there, they can take a good view of Aquaria as well. The pilot paused and he shook his head. This has to be some snafu, Commander; a mix-up with orders mothballing the station. I think we are going to send the Raptors ahead and have the rest of the Fleet laughing at usbut on the off chance that something has happened, this is our best chance for a getting a first look without putting the ship in harms way.
Two problems with that, gentlemen, Mathias said as he stood. A recon patrol will have to jump in without their transponders activeand their DRADIS will be off-linein order to try and avoid detection. The sensor network we emplaced in the asteroid fields, will, however detect their emergence from FTL. What, if there is nothing wrong, will the Fleet do upon detecting one or more vessels in Cyrannus jumping in with zero emissions and without a transponder?
Silence answered his question and both Tom and Jon winced, their faces pinched and tight; the Commander confirmed their thoughts with his own nod. Exactly, they will shoot first and investigate later; and since we have one hundred and nineteen active Battlestars and their escorts patrolling all four of our sub-systems, we will be sending those pilots and birds into a potential shooting gallery.
The second problem is that if something is wrong, if the Cylons have crossed the Armistice Line, they could well be patrolling the same areas of space to keep the Fleet from relieving their ground assault on our worlds. And have seeded the belts with their own sensor buoys.
Six ashen faces jerked as the Commander uttered those words that everyone in the room was thinking.
We havent even detected a Cylon ship in forty years, Commander, Major Tyche whispered.
True, and I agree with Rambler that this entire situation is probably a major snafu that is going to cost someone his career, Mathias said. But we are examining all of the possibilities. No, gentlemen, the Raptors will jump inall eight of thembut they will do so in formation with
. And we will make our FTL jump at Condition One with the guns on-line and hot.
What exit coordinates? asked Tom.
Damn if I dont want to jump straight into Picon orbit so I can lambast whatever idiot is behind this, Mathias said. And then he sighed. But that might end my service career rather abruptly, if everything back home is nominal. Our orders are to return to the Scorpia Fleet Yards, and that is what we are going to do . . . or close enough to that destination for government work.
Sir? asked Joan.
Mathias bent down and activated the tables map feature, pulling up the Helios Gamma sub-system. We will exit jump here, he said pointing to the space outside of the orbit of Scorpia, ten SU outside of planetary orbit. One point five million klicks should give ample room to detect any hostilesand if the situation is normal, all fracked up, no one in the Fleet will blame us for exercising caution on our return.
One by one, the officers nodded their agreement. Good. Major Church, what is the minimum time required to recalibrate the FTL drives between jumps?
By the book? Five minutes is the absolute minimum under regulations, Commander, she smiled and held up her hand as the Commander started to open his mouth. I can get it done in two.
I knew there was a reason I wanted you on this ship, Denise, Mathias said with a chuckle. Final prep for FTL jump in thirty minutesI want this ship prepared in case we are emerging in the midst of a hostile Fleet. Vipers in the launch tubes and pre-spotted on the elevators for a second launch. Jon, are your pilots capable of doing a zero-acceleration deck launch from the pods as well?
Yes, Sir. I can have another ten Vipers spotted and magnetically grappled to the deck in each podthat will give us twenty-six in the air immediately after launch, with six more in under a minute.
Get with the Chief and spot the Vipersbut we will NOT launch unless I give the order. If we have to turn and run, I dont want to be slowed down with recovery operationsand our pods are not large enough to land our entire complement in a single combat recovery.
Understood, Sir.
Good. Then to your stations, gentlemen. Colonel Jayne, I think it is high time we disconnected from the station and moved to a safe distance for FTL operations. Make it so.
Aye, aye, Sir.

A blog designed to help those interested in promoting affiliate programs related to jobs, careers and employment.
Frederic Thom, who is the affiliate program manager for Employment 911, provides excellent insight into the world of affiliate marketing and how best to make money in this very competitive marketplace. If you haven't signed up to the Employment 911 affiliate program, you should do so. It's a good way for you to make extra income while helping your users find great jobs. You can sign up here.
I was just reading some threads from Internet marketer newbies who spent a few thousands $ in Adwords to promote other affiliate programs and didn't get any sale. They do not have any website, including instead their affiliate url in the ad and pointing straight to the program's website.
Unless you're an Adword specialist, you probably won't make any sale if you don't have a website, mostly because there is already lot of competition in Adwords for the same affiliate offers. In addition, if people don't wan to buy right away, they will go back straight to the program's site next time and you will loose the sale, unless cookies are set, as we do it here at Employment911.
Instead of wasting your money, start by differentiating yourself by building your own web site related to the affiliate program you want to promote. Write articles on the subject, include recommendations about the affiliate offer and set up a mailing list.
You are now ready to start promoting your website in Adwords. If people don't buy right away, they can still come back to your site at a later time or sign up for your mailing list. In addition, if your site offers valid content, chances are that it will get spidered and listed by Google, thus providing you with a source of free traffic.

Beautiful Shoes
Classic cobbling
What we say:
In that wonderfully straightforward way that many Cambodian shops are named, Beautiful Shoes does exactly what it says on the sign. Tucked around the corner from Toul Sleng Museum on an average Phnom Penh street, this unassuming shop has become something of a magnet for footwear fetishists. If you're tired of flip-flops or get your kicks out of custom-made kicks, here's our guide so you don't put a foot wrong.
Beautiful Shoes makes, well, shoes. And boots. And belts and handbags and wallets. But mainly shoes. Made to measure, hand cobbled and designed by the customer. Apparently, clients have been known to become a bit giddy on a first visit, overfaced with cabinets stuffed full with a rainbow of shoes.
It can be a good idea to know roughly what you want before you go, to avoid being distracted by mandals, colourful two-tone brogues and heels that require scaffolding. If you have firm ideas, take along a picture or old pair to copy. The shop can help with albums of previous creations, and those samples in the cabinets. Play Cinderella — if the shoe fits, these ready-made styles are available to take home.
Once you have an idea of the basic style, you need to choose leather and heels. A large ring of leather samples, including faux crocodile, patent, sparkly and suede, can take some time to work through. For women, there are several drawers full of heel samples — kitten, wedge, stiletto and flats are all possible. Staff are able to offer advice in excellent English and are used to dealing with dithering Imelda Marcos wannabes. As a final step, feet will be drawn around and measured, with notes on your chosen options.
Most designs will take a week to 10 days, so if you're only in Phnom Penh briefly, it's worth planning a visit early. We know people who travel directly from the airport to get their order in, and often collect on their way to catch the flight out. Dedication to foot fabulousness requires forward planning!
There is, of course, the matter of footing the bill. Women's sandals start at around $20 and shoes from $25. Men's lace-ups are around $35, but leather soles and fancy designs cost more. While you can find cheaper at the markets, having your own cobbler suits those who prefer the real deal to pleather, and those blessed with a large footprint.
If waiting times are long or the shop is busy, try the shoe shops either side of Beautiful Shoes, which offer a similar selection and service.

BASALT, Colo. (AP) Basalt officials say it will cost up to $1 million to relocate residents of the Pan and Fork Mobile Home Park.
According to the Aspen Times, some of the land is needed for development.
Town manager Mike Scanlon said Thursday residents are getting a financial settlement based on how long they have lived in their residences, the size of their family and whether they own or rent.

Posted on April 30, 2012 | Category: Politics; Business, Sport
http://www.newsday.co.zw/article/2012-04-30-zitf-awarding-nrz-evidence-of-mediocrity/ –
The awarding of the prize to NRZ, albeit just for the displays at its stand, dramatised the parlous state of the trade fair; how it has become very easy for flops to mount the winners podium.
The NRZs poor state of health is well-documented. At the beginning of the year, rail workers went on strike to press for outstanding salaries and allowances.
The staff are still owed thousands of dollars because NRZ has no capacity to pay as it is making monumental losses.
It was reported early this year that it was generating $7,5 million per month yet its expenses were over $10 million.
The medal winners locomotives and rolling stock are antiquated to the extent that a train driver has to stick an arm out through the window to measure the speed of the train.
Three hundred kilometres of copper cables on the once-electrified Harare to Gweru line have been stolen.
Cellphones have replaced signalling equipment. The parlous state of the railways is dramatised by the sight of huge haulage trucks moving coal on an 800km journey from Hwange to industry in Harare.
At the last officious disclosure, we were told that NRZ required at least $400 million to recapitalise.
The government does not have this kind of money. The countrys rolling stock is grinding to a halt and with it prospects of industrial recovery in the country do not look very promising.
The NRZ is a very sick parastatal, which has been in the infirmary for over a decade now where it has shared the ward with other intensive care patients, Zesa and Air Zimbabwe.
NRZ does not appear to be leaving the hospital soon. Successive Transport ministers have been making hospital visits and seeing the condition of the patient continue to deteriorate.
On Friday, the patient was wheeled from hospital to pick up a prize for putting up a good show. The parastatal from its lofty perch at the trade fair cannot be called to duty to perform the critical task of hauling coal, which is required to fire the furnaces at Zimsteel in Kwekwe or cure tobacco in the northern part of the country.
This will be akin to asking the patient to be taken off life support machinery in order to run a marathon.
That this sick man of Zimbabwes industry was fted as a winner on Saturday should be a huge embarrassment to organisers of the exhibition. NRZ was among winners because the quality of exhibitors at the fair was poor.
We had electric trains 25 years ago, and now we are almost back to steam locomotives and this is celebrated as success!

what's with the pop gun Rae's holdin'? i'm thinking he's more of a desert eagle – type. ch-ch-bow!! move from the gate now…
seriously though, he's been talking about originality missing in hip-hop in some interviews but he's still coming with this coke shit. ice water isn't very original either. i mean, what are they really bringing to the game? seriously? just watch the video they got out. frontin'. plus the album is snoozy, from top to bottom…Comment by sooch 09.27.07 @

yeah raekwon is terrible, wu tang never made a good record, rza beats have always sounded like some fisher price playskool shit, i like raffi and the wiggles, thems are true gangsta hip hop, they will bust caps in all you fake ass wannabees, they teach the seeds, boobah is the best……….you stupid fucking clowns i swear ta god y'all talkin rae fell off are on some speak and spell shit, learn to tie your shoes first before you speak ill of a true lyricist shifting tectonic plates bar by bar, and yeah its true rza doesn't have the same beats of '94, but he has made thousands of beats since then, i personally think that there are some up and coming djs and producers that deserve more shine than the ones who have made their mark, i think enoch who produced a couple of cyne albums sounds like some old school rza, and pretty much anything that marco polo touches is pretty golden, its too bad its only dre and rza on ob4cl2, because raekwon could easily turn dime-a-dozen beatmakers into well known producersComment by gstatty 09.29.07 @
gstatty you need to chill, nobody said Rae had fallen off, I said his new material is lacking and sooch mentioned originality.
I'll ignore your namecalling, for now.Comment by silent minority 09.29.07 @
@finally "Rae sounds lethargic and fat. Not the nimble rhymer he was in '95."
i think hes gotten better, silent minority, i didn't have any problems with your comments or sooch's
i'll ignore your confusion, for now
oh and i agree with sooch that ice water is pretty much a snoozefest, there are a few standout tracks, but i'd say 70 percent of it is garbage and doesn't get much play from me if anyComment by gstatty 09.30.07 @
Definition of lethargic:
'deficient in alertness or activity.'
That sounds like Rae on most of his new material, though. Just like the nyquil comment by bbatson.
Everyone wants some heat from Rae but he has to live up to the promises he keeps making.
In all honesty, everyone is on his side.Comment by silent minority 09.30.07 @

Daryl 'Razor' Reaugh on Bruins announcers' role in last year's game with the Stars: 'It was like dragging meat in front of a lion'
Dallas Stars color commentator Daryl "Razor" Reaugh was on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket on Friday with the Soul Patch when the topic of Boston Bruins radio announcer Jack Edwards came up. Here are some of his comments:
"It's a little bizarre, but to each his own. If that's the way he wants to go about his business, then whatever.
"It was interesting last year just prior to that game unfolding, I didn't think there was going to be much to it in Boston between the Bruins and the Stars. Then before the game, they re-ran the last time the Stars were in Boston. That was the Sean Avery swarm and all that, [Mike] Modano was saying after the game 'if that's what we're going to be about, then I'm going to get a desk job' and all the other stuff.
"So they replayed it. It was like dragging meat in front of a lion. It seemed to rev things up. Then the opening faceoff with [Gregory] Campbell and Ott, and they go at it. Then there's another one, and another one, and another one. We'll see if there's any h'orderves for the one on New Year's Eve and gets it revved up. I think it will be a great game, whether it has shenanigans involved with it or not. I think it will be a real good hockey game."

Artopia - MUZEO - March 22,2014
Photo of Paul F. Contreras's "Ticking Time Bomb" by Scott Feinblatt
March 22,2014
The Muzeo stands in the heart of the city of Anaheim. Within its main gallery, the Carnegie Building, and Anaheim Heritage Center are contained artifacts and documents which tell the tale of the town's history as well as galleries which display the works of local artists and touring exhibitions. The Muzeo museum and cultural arts center are also available for hosting events, and on the evening of Saturday, March 22, OC Weekly set up shop in honor of its 2nd annual OC People issue.
As the name of the event, Artopia, indicates, this celebration highlighted the arts. Vendors of quality culinary delights as well as those of non-perishables lined the Muzeo's courtyard and occupied some of the gallery space, which was principally set up to showcase the artwork of 10 local artists, who were selected by the public. As it frequently turns out in events such as these, the overall programming can threaten to eclipse the focus on the featured artists. However, since the programming was principally made up of local musicians and vendors, the result was a well-balanced milieu in which patrons of the arts, scenesters, and locals could mill about between the hours of 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The impressive line of folks wanting to gain access to Artopia stretched about 200 ft., through one of its two connecting courtyards, from the entrance of the event to West Center Street Promenade, for an hour before it finally tapered off. Part of the $20 admission fee (or $40 for a VIP ticket) contributed to the operational costs of the event, but the proceeds principally sponsored the 501(c)(3) non-profit Muzeo and its ongoing operations.
Once guests were through the gates, they could sample varieties of free food, use tickets to sample a few drinks (and buy additional ones), and patronize the non-food vendors (including booths featuring: the designer swimwear of Syrup; the men's barbershop, Hawleywood's; and, the smokey stylings of Majestic Hookah and Vapor [what 21st century event wouldn't be complete without the ubiquitous vape shop?]). Of course, as prominently placed as the vendors were, they and their goods were periphery to the featured aspects at this celebration of the arts.

How the Subway Diet Works
While there is no official Subway Diet, anyone who has watched television over the last decade or so has seen Subway commercials that feature a man named Jared Fogle who lost a tremendous amount of weight by simply eating Subway foods. Subway capitalized on Fogle's success story and thus the legend of the Subway Diet was born.
Basically, the unofficial Subway Diet has a participant eating two meals (usually lunch and dinner) that consist of a low fat and a low calorie Subway six inch sub. The rest of the meals and snacks throughout the day should also be low fat and low calorie and if you want to do it the way Jared Fogle did, then you have to walk daily as well.
Do Dieters Lose Weight on the Subway Diet?
Dieters can lose weight on the Subway Diet if they go about it the right way. First, you have to be certain you are only eating the six inch subs from Subway that are low fat and low calorie. In addition, you have to be sure the rest of your meals and snacks are also low fat and low calorie. Exercise will also help determine if you lose weight on the Subway Diet and how much you lose.
Is the Subway Diet Easy to Follow?
The Subway Diet is not an easy diet to follow. First off, there are only a few six inch subs at Subway that actually fit the category of low fat and low calorie so eating the same subs over and over again can get old in a hurry. You also have to be aware of the type of bread you get your sub on as many of the breads Subway makes are not all that low in fat and calories.
Additionally, there is no guide to the Subway Diet so you are on your own after you eat your two subs from Subway. If you like a program with structure, then this diet is not going to be easy for you to follow.
The Subway Diet is a clever advertising ploy that Subway has been able to parlay into much success, but the diet is not cheap. To do the diet the way it is suggested you are looking at over $300 per month and that doesn't include your food for other meals and snacks. Two six inch subs per day and two diet sodas per day can easily equal $10 per day or more and again, that is only covering two meals a day.
The Subway Diet sounds like all you have to do is eat Subway subs and you will lose weight. Unfortunately, there are no magic ingredients in Subway subs that allow you to eat what you like from the restaurant and still lose weight. In order for it to work you have to eat low fat and low calorie all day and while at a Subway restaurant. While many may have come to know "Jared the Subway guy," the truth is he only lost weight because he exercised daily and strictly cut his calories which he would have accomplished even without eating Subway subs.
