Remember Me
Arriving in the Bay Area only a short time ago with his trademark Fender Telecaster and backed by one of the hottest bands around, he has already gained quite a reputation as a Bluesman.
Born in 1954, Daniel started playing guitar at the age of 12, when his older sister gave him a $13 guitar and a stack of B.B. King albums. She taught him his first three chords and he's had the Blues Bug ever since.
His real Blues education came at the age of 15 when he began playing the Blues Scene in South Central L.A. There he was noticed by "Loud Mouth" Delmar Evans, who had been working with the Johnny Otis Show. Daniel cut his teeth backing up many of the great artists from the Johnny Otis Show, including Pee Wee Crayton, Little Ester Phillips, and Delmar Evans himself. They all took Daniel under their wings and he toured with many of them across the U.S. From there, Daniel began fronting his own Band, playing clubs from San Diego to L.A., always playing from his heart, and trying to live up to the integrity of the musicians who taught him how to play the Blues.
In 1989, Daniel began commuting to the Bay Area, playing a series of monthly venues. In 1995, he made the move permanently, putting together a band that literally burns up the stage. The Daniel Castro Band provides an incredible musical spirit and is an awesome vehicle for Daniel's guitar playing, leaving audiences in a cold sweat of amazement.
The Band is just as comfortable playing tough, raw Chicago Blues as they are playing a hard-driving-funky-rockin'-down-home-boogie. Continuously playing to a captivated audience and consistently bringing the house down, Daniel keeps his band soaring while always remaining true to his Blues roots. His style of Blues has taken him through tours of Japan and the U.S., including Chicago, New York, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Austin. He has shared the stage with John Mayall, Joe Lewis Walker, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, The Staple Singers, CJ Chenier, Long John Hunter, Tab Benoit, and many other great artists.
With the Daniel Castro Band you are guaranteed great Blues. The kind that gives you the uncontrollable urge to dance, as well as heart wrenching songs to move your soul.
Daniel Castro is a legend in the making.

Fracking Our Way into Oblivion …. Conclusion
This series has examined hydraulic fracturing or, as it is more commonly known, fracking, and some of the types of harm it is doing to the environment. We didn't even touch on the threat of induced seismicity (increased earthquake activity) that seismologists have associated with the business of fracking; that will have to be a topic for another..

At the request of one of our regular readers, today we share one of the top recipes of SHAmadi Restaurant: seitan meatballs with mock tomato, i e, a delicious vegetarian meatballs recipe.
Tomato is not a vegetable too recommended in a healthy diet because it causes excess acidity in our body and is quite complex to digest, especially in certain people intolerant to tomato or those with kidney problems, because they are high in folic acid and can harm kidney function. Therefore, in our healthy eating we try not to use it practically and replace for other foods that are better for our body.
To make these meatballs we use seitan, a natural food preparation made from wheat (not suitable for coeliacs). Seitan is one of the best meat substitutes because it is high in vegetable protein and its meat-like texture.
For the garnish:
Bon appetit !

Nearly half of the UK's largest companies suffered a failed IT project over the past three years, according to research.
A hefty 40 per cent of businesses experienced project failure between 2004 and 2006, according to consultant Avanade. Poor system specification was the largest cause of problems, contributing to 66 per cent of cases.
A lack of understanding between IT and business departments was blamed in 51 per cent of failures, while 49 per cent cited technology selection as a factor.
But only 28 per cent of companies said they measure the success of their IT projects after implementation. This lack of analysis is depriving UK companies of cost-saving feedback, said Avanade director of enterprise service solutions Brent Kronenberg.
'Businesses clearly understand the value of IT as they are willing to spend money on developing and updating their IT systems, but organisations are failing to receive the business benefits that the investment promised,' he said.
'Cost-implementation assessments will enable companies to achieve optimum levels of performance, so they can see a real return on their investments.'
Avanade interviewed IT and operations managers from 102 companies, each supporting over 10,000 users.

Rijksmuseum (1 on map)
At last re-opened after a decade-long renovation, the Rijksmuseum is home to renowned Rembrandts, including The Night Watch, plus a grand company of other Old Masters from Frans Hals and Jan Steen to Ferdinand Bol and Jan Vermeer. Delftware, glittering gold and silver, centuries-old costumes, and furniture fit for royalty all add to the bounty, and for the first time ever the museum has put on show selections from its considerable collection of 20th-century photography. My own favourites are an exquisite 12th-century Buddha in the Asian Pavilion, and the ornate 17th-century dolls' houses (showpieces for adults, not playthings). The Old Masters section is least crowded in the late afternoon, and if the children are getting tetchy, a 1917 bi-plane at the top of the west wing might do the trick.

Getting there: trams 2 , 5, 7, 10

Van Gogh Museum (2)
More of the tortured artist's work is collected here than anywhere in the world, from The Potato Eaters, through Sunflowers, to Wheatfield with Crows. An inspired redesign of the old hanging brings you much closer to the man, and how he worked. Van Gogh's paintings and drawings are hung alongside those of other artists of the time who influenced him, as well as those (such as Francis Bacon) who were later influenced by his work. I especially love the personal touches to the new display: family photos, Van Gogh's palette, technical dislays that give insight to his technique. Pre-book online to avoid long entrance queues.

Stedelijk Museum (3)
Stylishly revamped after a long closure, the Stedelijk showcases modern and contemporary art from the huge municipal collection. For most of the 20th century, Stedelijk directors managed to snap up work from hot new art movements before the rest of the world was really taking notice, such as paintings and work on paper from CoBrA and De Stijl, and major pieces by Mondrian, Kandinsky and Malevich. There's a rich collection of design and applied art, too, with video art and up-to-the-minute new work also get a good showing. Do seek out the Appelbar,the Stedelijk's original refreshment kiosk downstairs, adorned with bright murals by CoBrA artist Karel Appel.

Hermitage Amsterdam (4)
In a former almshouse for the aged, built in the 1680s, Hermitage Amsterdam shows off treasures on loan from the Hermitage Palace in St Petersburg, in different themed exhibitions. When it was built, the Amstelhof, as it was then called, boasted the longest façade in town (102 metres still carries quite a punch in small-scale Amsterdam). Whatever the exhibition, I love visiting the long refectory, complete with an organ for church services, and the creepily austere Governesses' Room. Check out the 18th-century cellar kitchen, with pots so large you had to climb steps to stir them.

Jewish Historical Museum (5)
The local nickname for Amsterdam is 'Mokum', from the Yiddish for 'place' or 'haven'. For centuries before World War II, the city was home to one of the most vibrant Jewish communities in Europe – the force behind Amsterdam's lucrative diamond-cutting industry, and much more besides. The museum traces the history of Jews in the Netherlands, and displays ceremonial objects, but my visits are usually to see temporary exhibitions, which highlight aspects of Jewish art, often with a local slant. The museum café is a great place to try Dutch-Jewish culinary classics, such as cod cakes, or bolus, a ginger-filled donut.
Address: Nieuwe Amstelstraat 1, 1011 PL
Contact: 0031 20 531 0310; jhm.nl
Getting there: trams 9, 14; Metro Waterlooplein

Portuguese Synagogue (6)
To my mind the Portuguese Synagogue has one of the most awe-inspiring interiors in town. Built in 1675 to serve Amsterdam's prosperous Sephardic community, the synagogue was considered a showpiece (dwarfing the recently completed Ashkenazi temple next door). Its architect claimed he was creating an imitation of the Temple of Solomon, though the mahogany pews and brass chandeliers bear more of a resemblance to Christian churches of the period. Though open to the public, it is still a working synagogue. Try to catch a candlelit concert, when the interior appears as it would have to congregations centuries ago.

Rembrandthuis (7)
Rembrandt bought this grand house on the edge of the Jewish Quarter in 1639, when he was at the height of his wealth and fame. (He is said to have been fascinated by Hebrew culture, and preferred Jewish models for his religious painting.) The building has been carefully restored, using old plans and descriptions, and I love it for its authentic atmosphere. Even the reconstructed studio (a concept often tritely carried out) is superbly done. The museum holds a considerable collection of Rembrandt etchings. My own favourites are a series of tiny self-portraits of the painter pulling funny faces.
Address: Jodenbreestraat 4, 1011 NK
Contact: 0031 20 520 0400; rembrandthuis.nl
Getting there: trams 9, 4, 16, 24; Metro Waterlooplein

Canal Trip (8)
Take to the water. Yes, I know a canal trip seems a predictably touristy thing to do, but a jaunt on a pedalo, or in a glass-topped boat, offers an unrivalled view of Amsterdam's historic gables. I always get a feeling of detachment on the water, like being in a different city. Most tour boats leave from docks in front of Central Station. I can recommend Lovers, and Canal Bus, which offer both tours and hop-on-hop-off options. If you're a fan of modern architecture, go for one of the tours that takes in new construction in the Eastern Docklands.

Concertgebouw (9)
The Concertgebouw, built in 1888, is famed for its near-perfect acoustics and its resident Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, often dubbed 'the best in the world'. Bernard Haitink was once chief conductor, today it's Mariss Jansons. The composer Gustav Mahler had a close relationship with the orchestra in its early days, and to my mind the RCO is still without equal when it comes to Mahler. If you'd like a flavour of the place, but don't have time for a full evening concert, check the (free) lunchtime programme – but note that these are often held in a smaller auditorium, the Kleine Zaal.
Address: Concertgebouwplein 10, 1071 LN

Stopera (10)
Amsterdam's combined city hall (stadhuis) and opera house was condemned as an eyesore when it went up in the 1980s, but I rather like the circular Muziektheater, with its marble-clad framework, especially when lit up at night. Under artistic director Pierre Audi, the Dutch National Opera has developed a reputation for adventurous productions, which spread budgets broadly rather than overpaying stars. Stand-by tickets are available on the day of performance. From an hour before curtain-up, numbers are handed out at box office, placing you in a queue for returns. Arriving 20-30 minutes earlier gives a good chance of success.

Sauna Deco (11)
Part of the interior of Paris's now-demolished Au Bon Marché department store, beamed over to Amsterdam to form a stylish spa. The 1920s light fittings and stained glass decorate a large, elegant rest area, there are Finnish and infra-red saunas, a small outdoor patio, and a steam room. The steam room is rather poky, but even so Sauna Deco is one of my favourite retreats from miserable weather. A limited range of treatments is on offer, but there's a good variety of massage (shiatsu, deep-tissue, hot stone, and more - reserve. Do note that the spa is mixed, and nudity de rigueur.

Artis Zoo (12)
Laid out in grand style in 1838, Artis Royal Zoo (the 'royal' refers to its charter, not its inhabitants) is the oldest public zoo in continental Europe. Its park-like, 19th-century layout remains, with walkways, water features, plenty of greenery and showpiece architecture. However, the zoo has had many a modern makeover, with walls and fences replaced by ditches and canals, to give the animals a more open landscape. Famed former residents include the world's last quagga (a now extinct type of zebra; it died in 1883) and a pair of gay penguins. The aquarium and butterfly pavilion are, for me, the most alluring sections.

The Scheepvaartmuseum (National Maritime Museum) (13)
Five hundred years of maritime history is packed into the elegant Dutch classicist Admiralty Arsenal, built on the water in 1655 to stock and supply the vessels of the Golden Age. I can linger over the old maps and globes for ages, but there's a wealth of other objects, too – fine maritime paintings, intricate models of boats, curiosities (such as a preserved whale foetus), beautifully carved figureheads. The reproduction 18th-century Dutch East Indiaman, moored in the harbour alongside the museum, is a must, from the captain's private loo to the murky room below decks, built to accommodate 200 men.

Anne Frank House (14)
The attic rooms where the Frank family hid during World War II, reached through a door behind a hinged bookcase, are bare of furniture yet almost unbearably poignant, with magazine pictures pasted on the walls by Anne still in situ. The rooms downstairs, which housed her father's company office, have been restored in period style, and the buildings alongside hold Anne's original diary and other manuscripts, as well as interactive exhibitions on human rights. Avoid gargantuan queues by pre-booking online.

Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (15)
Parts of this restored 17th-century canal house, with its black-and-white tiled floors, heavy furniture, and period kitchen, are like stepping into a painting by Vermeer. This is my own top choice for a visit when I have guests in Amsterdam, because as well as atmosphere it holds surprise. Upstairs, a ladder-like stairway leads to the astonishingly large church of Our Dear Lord in the Attic, which dates from the time when Protestant Holland tolerated Catholic worship only in places hidden from street view. Try to get a museum attendant to demonstrate the ingenious fold-away pulpit.

Museum Van Loon (16)
A peek indoors at the home of an Amsterdam patrician family. The 17th-century canal-side mansion, one of the most splendid in town, has been magnificently restored, to the last lick of gilding and tinkling chandelier. There are other canal-house mansion museums in town, but this is my favourite, as it somehow retains the atmosphere of an (admittedly extremely grand) family home. The characterful Van Loon family portraits are worth a special look. And don't necessarily save this visit for a rainy day – there's a beautiful formal garden out the back.

Museum Willet-Holthuysen (17)
The grandest and most glittering of Amsterdam's canal-house museums was occupied by a succession of local notables, the last, Sandrina Holthuysen, dying alone, surrounded by cats in 1895. She was also surrounded by her husband's vast collection of art and objets d'art. The house brims with paintings, ceramics, glass and silver – though I don't really warm to the stiff, untouchable 19th-century atmosphere. The gardens behind Amsterdam's rows of gabled houses come as a surprise to most visitors, as from the street you have no clue that they're there. The Willet-Holthuysen formal garden is one of the most elegant in town.

Tassenmuseum Hendrijke (Museum of Bags and Purses) (18)
The museum sounds camp, or just plain silly, but in fact it's a world-class collection, spanning 17th-century leather pouches, 1920s beaded fripperies through to the very latest Gucci, Vuitton and Prada. And it's all displayed in a splendid canal-house setting, too. Like so many of the best museums, this one has its origins in a private collection, in this case one that has grown to encompass the precious, the quirky, the historically curious, and the delicately beautiful – some 4,000 pieces in all. Put some time aside for a coffee: the museum café is in a splendid 18th-century salon.

Cinema Tuschinski (19)
From its gaudy carpet and whorls of multi-coloured marble, to the working Wurlitzer and two-person Love Seats, the Tuschinski was the dream-child of an eccentric visionary, bewitched by motion pictures. Built between 1918 and 1921, it preserves pretty much all its fittings, yet is still a working cinema. Films are shown in their original language, and the Tuschinski is worth a visit whatever the show (though go for what is on in the main auditorium). Look out for the occasional Sunday morning concerts, when the Wurlitzer (one of the few cinema organs still working in situ), rises from the floor for a good blow-out.

FOAM Photography Museum (20)
Photography is hot in Amsterdam at the moment, and FOAM offers not only international blockbuster exhibitions by the likes of Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon, but also smaller shows by contemporary photographers, and lively lectures and forums. For a different, durable souvenir of your visit to Amsterdam, I love the idea of a Foam Edition: affordable limited editions and signed prints by up-and-coming young photographers, as well as by big names who have exhibited at the museum, available at &Foam, the gallery branch across the way.

Huis Marseilles Photography Museum (21)
Of all the exhibition spaces on Amsterdam's vibrant photography scene, the Huis Marseilles is the most adventurous. I always find shows here engaging – and often challenging and perplexing, too. The museum showcases new artists – in video as well as stills photography, and there's a strong in-house collection of mainly Dutch, South African and Japanese work. The building is a fine 17th-century canal house, and exhibitions are often staged as installations responding to the period features of particular rooms. Take a special look at the ceiling painting in the Garden Room – it's by Jacob de Wit, the leading 18th-century Dutch interiors painter.

Amsterdam Museum (22)
Objects, stories, treasures and works of art from Amsterdam's long and at times illustrious history, all form part of imaginative displays on the city's past, present and even future. The building was formerly the Burgerweeshuis (Municipal Orphanage), founded in 1520. I'm always rather moved by the children's lockers you can still see along one side of the courtyard. Inside, look out for Cornelis Anthoniszoon's aerial view of Amsterdam, painted around 1538. It is the first map of the city, and an extraordinary feat of imagined perspective given that the highest point in town at the time was a church steeple.

Simplify your stay in Amsterdam with the I Amsterdam City Card which includes entry to 38 museums and public transport throughout the city from our partners at Viator
A white, aerodynamic zigzag of a building on Amsterdam's waterfront, the EYE makes an impressive new home for a world-class film collection, covering the history of the movies from the late 1800s onwards. For decades these treasures were stashed in archives and hard to access, but now you can view snippets from the entire collection – including rare colour silent movies – on interactive screens in the basement, watch entire films while seated in two-person pods, or take in what's on at one of four cinemas. Films are shown in their original language; tickets can be purchased only with a credit card (no cash is accepted). The café has become one of the coolest spots to hang out in town.

Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) (24)
New' is a label that has been attached to this church for the past 600 years, by virtue of the fact that Oude Kerk (Old Church) had already been around for three centuries when it was built. It's a soaring Gothic pile without a steeple, situated on the city's central square, the Dam (reputedly the site of the original dam across the River Amstel, from which Amsterdam gets its name). The Nieuwe Kerk is the venue for royal weddings, investitures and other ceremonies, but more often for blockbuster exhibitions – keep an eye open for these, as they're usually exceptionally good.

Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace) (25)
In the 17th century, the Royal Palace was dubbed 'the eighth wonder of the world'. Back then it was the Amsterdam City Hall, but this was the height of the Golden Age, and the building was a grandiose celebration of Amsterdam's mercantile supremacy and civic might. I'm underwhelmed by the façade, but inside it's another story. Drop in for a look (the monarch lives in The Hague, and won't mind). The dazzling (sometimes literally) marble-encrusted main hall is especially impressive, with brass-inlaid maps on the floor depicting the heavenly and terrestrial worlds, with Amsterdam very much at the centre.

Stadsarchief (City Archive) (26)
Do the words 'city archive' conjure images of dusty files and dull civil servants? Think again. Amsterdam has a fascinating collection of images and documents, interesting beyond the simple scope of city history. The building itself is a monumental 1920s confection of patterned brick and stonework, with Art Deco murals. While there's no permanent display, it's really worth checking on current exhibitions. The archive's photo hoard is especially rich, particularly for images from the 1800s and early 1900s. Look out for work by the 19th-century photographers Georg Breitner (also a renowned painter) and Jacob Olie.

Verzetsmuseum (Museum of the Resistance) (27)
A fascinating little museum that offers a glimpse of life in the Netherlands under the Nazi occupation, and of the underground resistance movement. Forged documents, homemade radios, old film footage and more are put together in imaginative displays. I think the permanently closed door, with doorbells that elicit recorded excuses for not taking you on as an onderduijker (secret occupant hiding from the Nazis, like Anne Frank's family) is both moving and ingenious. Information is also in English, and there's an excellent children's section with small-scale, recreated domestic interiors, which give a real sense of what life was like.

Hortus Botanicus (28)
An intimate patch of greenery in the heart of the city. Dating back to 1682, the Hortus Botanicus is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. I love its walled-in, secretive feel, but there's a lot here, too, for plant enthusiasts, including ancient varieties of tulip and a range of cycads and South African plants. The first coffee plants exported to South America were cultivated here, and the wide variety of carnivorous plants is usually a hit with the kids. The 19th-century orangery is all space and light, and is a lovely spot for coffee or lunch.

Beurs van Berlage (29)
Amsterdam's former stock exchange, completed in 1903, earned its creator, H. P. Berlage the title of the 'Father of Modern Dutch Architecture'. Its patterned brickwork is firmly in a Dutch tradition, and echoes earlier styles. But the designs are more geometric, and the building's strong, clean lines, together with the way Berlage celebrates rather than conceals structural elements, make a definite break with the 19th century. These days, you can only get to see the interior during exhibitions or concerts, but the café in the former entrance lobby is open daily, and gives a taste of the interior.

Coffeeshops (30)
Contrary to common opinion, smoking hash and marijuana is not legal in the Netherlands, rather it is 'gedoogd'—an official blind eye is turned. That eye is beginning to be prised open. Government moves are afoot to restrict sales in 'coffeeshops' (cafés where dope is available) to Dutch residents only. That would mean an almost total fall-off in custom for most Amsterdam coffeeshops. Opposition to the move is strong, and for the moment foreigners visiting Amsterdam may get as stoned as they please. Try the cosy De Tweede Kamer, or funkier Kadinsky.

Pianola Museum (31)
Top of my quirky-museum list. It includes not only the sort of honky-tonk piano that played itself in the corner of a Wild West bar, but also more sophisticated instruments, operated using a technology we can no longer fathom. These can reproduce the exact timbre and every nuance of the pianist who punched the scroll that makes them work. The museum has scrolls created by the likes of Debussy and Prokofiev themselves, as well as works especially composed by Stravinsky. Try to get to one of the eerie concerts, where the audience sits around politely listening to a playerless piano.

Oude Kerk (Old Church) (32)
Amsterdam's oldest building grew haphazardly, over hundreds of years. The tower dates from 1300, but most of the original basilica that was attached to it has long disappeared behind outgrowths of side chapels, transepts and clerestories. Most of what you see today is 16th-century Renaissance in style, with a further barnacle-crust of houses and church offices, built over three centuries. I love the contrasting simplicity of the interior. The stained glass is worth a special look. There's nothing to match it in town, most church windows having been smashed by Protestant iconoclasts during the Reformation.

Day trips
The Hague
Serene and smart, The Hague is Amsterdam's posh sister – with a great deal of sibling rivalry between them, as one is the capital, and the other the seat of government and home to the monarch. Highlight at The Hague is the royal picture gallery, the Mauritshuis, home to Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and a good number of other Golden Age showstoppers. Another must is Panorama Mesdag, a 360º indoor panorama, painted in 1881, depicting beach life at nearby Scheveningen.
Mauritshuis (0031 70 302 3456, www.mauritshuis.nl), is closed until June 27 for renovation, but masterpieces of the collection may be seen across town, at Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (031 70 338 1111; www.gemeentemuseum.nl) Stadhouderslaan 41. Open Tues-Sun, 11am-5pm; tickets €14.50, under 18 free. Panorama Mesdag (00 31 70 3644 544, www.panorama-mesdag.com), Zeestraat 65.

Zaanse Schans
Just 20 minutes by train from Amsterdam, Zaanse Schans recreates the atmosphere of village life when 1,000 windmills ground away at various activities along the River Zaan. Today there are just 12, alongside wooden houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. But they still work – making mustard, producing paint from natural pigments, and with the traditional dairy, the clog maker and more besides in the village. It all makes a great family outing.
Zaanse Schans (0031 75 681 00 00; www.zaanseschans.nl), Schansend 7, Zaandam. Opening hours and prices vary seasonally and by venue; check the website. A Zaanse Schans Card (€10) covers a number of entrance tickets and offers a variety of discounts.

Two Gig Harbor programs earn state honors for economic development
Gig Harbor earned two top statewide honors from the Main Street Program's Excellence on Main Awards Ceremony on May 7 in Wenatchee. Awards were announced in eight categories.
The 2013 Girls Night Out, hosted by the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront Alliance, received the Outstanding Promotional Event award.
The purpose of Girls Night Out is to offer a unique and fun Gig Harbor experience that showcases the shopping opportunities of the waterfront district during a month that is typically slow in terms of retail and dining commerce. In addition, the November date serves as a "kick-off" to the annual holiday shopping season and downtown holiday events.
In its fourth year, Girls Night Out showcased nearly 50 waterfront district shops and restaurants, all offering specials. Some 500 goodie bags were sold out nine days prior to the event. An additional 100 "mini bags" were created and sold in less than 24 hours; this is a 250 percent increase in the number of bags sold since the event's inception in 2010. The fun and festive event was a sell-out, with more than 600 attendees. It was determined that more than $40,000 in revenue was generated in the district during Girls Night Out 2013, providing a tremendous economic boost to the waterfront district businesses.
"Gig Harbor's 2013 Girls Night Out truly epitomizes the spirit of our Outstanding Promotional Event award," said Sarah Hansen, Washington State Main Street Program Coordinator. "The economic impact to local entrepreneurs is extraordinary, and participants come away with memories of an incredibly dynamic event and a strong incentive to return!"
The Pierce Transit Trolley, of the Get Around Gig Harbor Program, received the Community Partnership award.
Talk of trolley service through Gig Harbor had been going on for nearly 10 years; the need for such a mode of transportation is especially critical in the summer months. When high numbers of visiting boaters arrive in Gig Harbor, they have no way to get to stores to buy groceries, go Uptown, or easily access both ends of the downtown waterfront district. In the summer of 2013, this changed with the Trolley Summer Demo Project within the downtown and Uptown districts of Gig Harbor.
This demonstration project — consisting of two trolleys and two backup buses for high volume days — ran during the summer of 2013 as a Pierce Transit limited duration demonstration project, supported by a local Community Investment Team (CIT). This collaborative financial arrangement included Pierce Transit, the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront Alliance, the City of Gig Harbor, Uptown and the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce.
The financial support from the CIT kept fares for riders to just 25 cents for the duration of its run in 2013, which lasted from July 9 to Sept. 28. Because of its success in 2013, the Trolley will be returning to Gig Harbor for the 2014 summer season with service running from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.
The Main Street Program is managed by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. The ceremony was hosted in conjunction with RevitalizeWA, Washington State's Preservation and Main Street Conference.

Vikram Pandit
Vikram Pandit Is Committed To Getting Paid
If you didn't know Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit, you might think he enjoyed not being compensated for the work he does at Citigroup because for quite some time, he wasn't. And although the "I will only get paid $1/year until Citi turns a profit" exercise was fun for a while, he was pretty happy when the old jalopy started making money again, in part because it meant he could receive a paycheck. Then last April, his shareholders rejected the bank's executive pay plan, claiming the Big C "lets Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit collect millions of dollars in rewards too easily." And while it's possible that Citi shareholders are just a bunch of pricks who chose to overlook the fact that Uncle Vikula didn't collect squat for several years and once had an entire article written about the fact that lieutenants attributed a "new bounce in his step" to him daydreaming "the day when he is going to earn more than a $1 a year," maybe they just assume that he doesn't care about getting paid either way? Anyway, here's Vickles, reminding anyone who forgot about the sacrifices he made and setting the record straight:
"The board has this process with them, they're going through it, and they are committed, as I am, to making sure that they resolve this," Pandit said. "I want to get paid what the board thinks is right for me, for the job that I've done and for the incentives that they think I ought to have." Pandit told lawmakers in 2009 that he would take a $1 annual salary until he restored the bank to profitability.
Citigroup made a $21.7 billion profit for 2011 and 2010 combined, compared with a $29.3 billion loss for the two preceding years. "When the company was losing money, I stepped up and said I'll take a dollar a year and I did, exactly for that reason, exactly the right thing to do," Pandit said.
For those having trouble separating the nice guy/don't want to offend anyone statement from what he's actually trying to say, a rough translation of the above would be: get me paid, bitch!

In the spring of 2010, almost exactly two years ago to date, the New York Times reported that some of Vikram Pandit's top lieutenants had noticed "a new bounce in his step" and "a smile on his face," with one executive speculating that the Citi CEO's cheer could be attributed to the fact that he was starting to "see the day when he will earn more than $1 a year" within reach. On January 18, 2011, that day came. After essentially not receiving a salary since 2008, when he pledged to abstain from getting paid until Citi turned a profit, the board of directors approved "an increase in the annual rate of base salary for Vikram from $1 per year to $1,750,000 per year, effective immediately." It felt good. Really good. Know what doesn't? This crap.
Citigroup investors rejected the bank's executive pay plan, a first among the six largest U.S. lenders, amid criticism it lets Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit collect millions of dollars in rewards too easily. About 45 percent of the votes favored the plan, which Citigroup had argued would help attract and retain top talent, according to a preliminary tally at the New York-based firm's annual meeting in Dallas today. While the vote isn't binding, outgoing Chairman Richard Parsons said changes will be made.

Action Plan for Australian Marsupials and Monotremes
Wildlife Australia, December 1996
Recovery Outline - Squirrel Glider
Taxon Summary
|Squirrel Glider
1 Family: Petauridae
2 Scientific name: Petaurus norfolcensis (Kerr, 1792)
3 Common name: Squirrel Glider
4 Conservation status: Lower Risk (near threatened): c
5 Past range and abundance:
Not well documented outside Vic. Occurs in a broad band from Cape York Peninsula (Qld) to central Vic., extending to the coastal side of the Great Dividing Range between southern Qld and central NSW. Apparently more abundant in coastal forests of northern NSW and south-eastern Qld than inland of the Great Dividing Range or in southern parts of its range. Based on current habitat preferences, it is certain that the area of suitable habitat on the inland slopes of the Great Dividing Range and along water courses in the NSW and Vic. Riverina has declined significantly. In these areas, Squirrel Gliders are now confined to isolated patches of remnant vegetation, often severely degraded and with little or no regeneration of trees and shrubs.
Formerly present on the Wimmera Plain as far west as Bordertown (SA), but not now known to occur west of the northern tip of Grampians NP.
Reports of Squirrel Gliders in coastal forests of south-eastern NSW (eg. Davey 1984) require confirmation, as other extensive investigations of the arboreal fauna in that region have not reported the species.
6 Present range and abundance:
Overall distribution not significantly changed but population fragmented and probably in steady decline in areas with predominantly pastoral or agricultural land use. Also has suffered loss of habitat in NSW north of Sydney due to coastal development. Recent extension of range into Cape York Peninsula is the result of better sampling rather than population movements.
7 Habitat:
Dry open forest and woodland, including Box-Ironbark, Blackbutt-Bloodwood, Grey Gum-Grey Ironbark-Spotted Gum and River Red Gum communities; tall coastal forest and Banksia woodland in the north-east of its distribution; and Ironbark-Lemon-scented Gum-Forest Red Gum association in north Qld.
8 Current threats:
Steady attrition of quality and extent of habitat remnants due to removal of timber for both sawn products and firewood; lack of suitable hollows in most habitat remnants on the inland slopes; lack of regeneration of trees and shrubs due to grazing by stock, rabbits and macropods and inappropriate fire regimes; removal of habitat during prospecting and mining for gold; tree decline in rural lands and outbreaks of leaf-skeletonising caterpillars in riverine forests; and further coastal development in NSW and south-east Qld.
9 Recommended actions:
9.1 Develop national recovery plan and establish recovery team. The Plan should incorporate the Vic. Flora and Fauna Guarantee Action Statement, which should be published and implemented. It should also examine what amendments are needed to current forest management practices to enhance Squirrel Glider habitat.
9.2 Monitor persistence and abundance throughout range, particularly at peripheral and isolated sites. This is especially urgent for inland populations in NSW and Qld, where range also needs to be documented more accurately.
9.3 Reassess the evidence of presence in coastal forests of southern NSW. Conduct further, carefully-targeted, surveys if necessary.
9.4 Use biochemical taxonomic techniques to examine the possible differences between coastal and inland populations.
9.5 Conduct further research into the ecological requirements of the species and the impacts of habitat alterations, including timber removal, silviculture and grazing.
9.6 Further habitat protection in State forests, parks and on private property is needed, especially in areas of box-ironbark in northern Vic. and western NSW, and areas of grey gum-grey ironbark-spotted gum from near Sydney to the Qld-NSW border.

1 Family: Burramyidae
2 Scientific name: Cercartetus caudatus macrurus (Mjoberg, 1916)
3 Common name: Long-tailed Pygmy-possum (Australian subspecies)
4 Conservation status: Lower Risk (near threatened): b
5 Past range and abundance:
Lowland and upland rainforests between Paluma Range and Cooktown.
6 Present range and abundance:
|As above, but area of occupancy has probably declined as a result of clearing of rainforest, especially on the Atherton Tableland.
7 Habitat:
Rainforest and fringing wet sclerophyll and melaleuca forests.
8 Current threats:
None identified.
9 Recommended actions:
9.1 Monitor distribution and abundance.
9.2 Undertake studies of ecology and habitat requirements.

She looks gorgeous either way, but I like her better blonde.
@anuflas Yeah, except that the ratings were way higher in the beginning of the season, than they are now. I get that you hate Izzie/Katherine Heigl, and that's fine. It's your opinion. But a lot of people love her, and watch the show for her. Maybe you don't feel this way, but if she left it would be a big loss. @crowenaFTW I didn't say George should've lived and Izzie should've died. I love Izzie.
Why do you think the ratings are so low this season? People miss the original cast.

Within a matter of hours, the Cicero-North Syracuse boys lacrosse team's collective spirits sank -- then rose again.
When they popped Stephen Ianzito's right kneecap back into place on the night of May 9 after the injury suffered in that night's overtime win over Fayetteville-Manlius, the hope was that the senior captain would heal and return in time for the playoffs.
However, further tests showed that the initial fears were true -- Ianzito had a torn ACL. Thus, his season and high school career are over, and CNS had to find a way to carry on without him.
Somehow, the Northstars focused after this devastating blow, went west on Route 31 to Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium Tuesday night -- and won its second straight OT decision, this one 8-7 over Baldwinsville.
The Bees, like CNS, had lost a key player for the season when league-leading scorer Billy Ward went down with a broken collarbone April 30 against Liverpool.
Since then, the once-contending Bees had gone 1-2, and CNS would make things worse, even though B'ville got Evan States back in the lineup from a concussion suffered at Rome Free Academy on May 2.
CNS took a quick 3-1 lead, only to have B'ville answer it and forge a 4-4 halftime tie. All through the rest of regulation, the Bees and Northstars kept trading rare goals as the defenses settled in and made things more difficult.
For the most part, Mike Hamilton and James Haney carried CNS along. Hamilton, assuming many of Ianzito's midfield responsibilities, had a part in every scoring play as he earned four goals and three assists, while Haney earned two goals and four assists. Robbie Ashlaw added a goal, too.
Despite this, the teams were tied, 7-7, going into overtime. With 1:02 left in the extra period, sophomore Mike DeBottis took a pass from Hamilton and ripped a shot past B'ville goalie Jordan Marra to win it.
This negated a big night from Marra, who posted 15 saves, three less than CNS counterpart Anthony Puma. Andrew Ginter led the Bees' attack with a three-goal hat trick as States earned one goal in his return to action.

If you bought BPT in late February or early March of 2009 when it traded under $60, you would have experienced over 125% capital gains.
I apologize for saying "two years" when I meant "23 months." I see that this caused confusion. I will have the editors update the article.Jan 23, 2011. 05:05 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Read again. First, you take a 25% tax right off the top.
The TVPB calculation is then multiplied BY THE TVPB.
So, take the .0868 you got there, and multiply the tvpb (51.7) times it. Then add that to the 25% off the top. It looks like this:
(51.7 * .25) + (51.7 * .0868) = 17.41

Great input. What you are saying is absolutely true. I am simply going off of information available now. Estimating the actual price of future oil and the real reserves attributable to the trust are decisions that investors have to make on their own, because I don't claim to know them. Some people may be willing to accept that risk on BPT, some may not.
Jan 21, 2011. 08:05 PM | 5 Likes |Link to Comment
Thanks for the comments, everyone. I want to address some of the issues brought up.
First of all, I did not write this to incite a riot and make everyone want to short sell BPT; I simply hope to help investors make more informed decisions.
I cannot argue with capital appreciation, and for those who are long BPT because of its run up, I applaud your gains. I realize that not everyone who owns this stock plans on holding it forever. This article is to give you a heads up in case you don't know what is inevitable- that this stock will be worth $0 some day. Will it float down gracefully? Or will it drop like a rock one day? Who knows. Just know that if you are long, that is what you are up against. I wish you the best of luck in your timing of the markets.
To the shorts out there, be careful. The market can be wrong longer than you can be solvent. This I know is true.
The other issue addressed is the use and extrapolation of the crude curve. To those against these assumptions, I would ask: do you have a better alternative? This is not a commentary on the future price of oil, and I don't claim to know. Oil could be at $200 in 10 years...or it could be at $20...stranger things have happened. For now, the crude curve is the best we have to go off of.
Let me reiterate, however, that crude would have to be at $225 from NOW UNTIL 2025 just to get your money back. Looking for a 10% IRR? Crude would have to be at $300 from now until 2025.
I hope that helps.Jan 21, 2011. 07:01 PM | 8 Likes |Link to Comment
Yeah that's just a sum of all the distributions between now and 2025. That does NOT include dividend reinvestment.

Pumpkins and other farm activities in October throughout the Puget Sound region.
A profusion of pumpkins in every size and color beckons visitors to farms around the region in October. Whether you prefer your pumpkins au naturel for indoor or outdoor display, carved into Halloween jack o'lanterns, baked into pie or used as soup bowls, it's a great time to visit a pumpkin patch.
A scenic drive in the country is often part of the charm of a farm visit, but closer-in options are available. City pumpkin farms include Fairbank Animal and Pumpkin Farm in Edmonds, a longtime local favorite for families with young children. It has a harvest theme, lots of animals and a Tiny Tot Maize Maze. Serres Farm Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Redmond has a variety of pumpkins, a corn maze, and hayrides on weekends. This Saturday only, pumpkins are available at Kelsey Creek Farm's Farm Fair, a bit of the country in the heart of Bellevue (see "Festivals/Expos" in Community Datebook for details).
Take a scenic drive through the Cascade foothills to destinations including Carnation's Remlinger Farms Fall Pumpkin Harvest Festival, with a steam train, pony rides, kiddie rides, a petting farm, Farm Theatre, hay jump, u-pick pumpkin field and food vendors. Remlinger is among farms that charge a fee for unlimited access to attractions; many farms have free admission and separate charges for hayrides, corn mazes and other attractions.
The Snohomish area has several farms, including six hosting the Snohomish Festival of Pumpkins, with lots of information on a website, www.festivalofpumpkins.org. Bailey Family Farm has a u-pick vegetable patch and flower garden in addition to the pumpkin patch, and Stocker Farms offers pumpkin launchers, hay rides and other attractions on weekends, along with a daily pumpkin patch and market.

Some locations provide a quieter day on a working farm, including Gordon Skagit Farms in Mount Vernon, run by the Gordon family since 1932 and featuring pumpkins since 1969. Pick your own pumpkins and apples, or visit the farm's Autumn Market with a variety of squash, gourds and pumpkins, including heirloom varieties. Hot, fresh cider is available.
Prices vary for pumpkins and activities, and some farms are cash-only. Dress for the weather, including appropriate footwear for muddy fields, and leave pets at home. If you're using your pumpkins for carving or cooking, be sure to save the seeds for roasting (toss with melted butter, salt and/or other seasonings, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown). Delicious!
For pumpkin-patch addresses, hours and more details, see "Farm/Harvest Events" in Community Datebook.

In Part 1, the book introduces the object/relational paradigm mismatch and explains the fundamentals behind object/relational mapping. Then, readers are walked through a hands-on tutorial to get you started with your first Hibernate, Java Persistence, or EJB 3.0 project. You look at Java application design for domain models and at the options for creating object/relational mapping metadata.
Mapping Java classes and properties to SQL tables and columns is the focus of Part 2. You explore all basic and advanced mapping options in Hibernate and Java Persistence, with XML mapping files and Java annotations. It shows you how to deal with inheritance, collections, and complex class associations. Finally, the book discusses integration with legacy database schemas and some mapping strategies that are especially tricky.
Part 3 is all about the processing of objects and how you can load and store data with Hibernate and Java Persistence. The book introduces the programming interfaces, how to write transactional and conversation-aware applications, and how to write queries. It later focuses on the correct design and implementation of layered Java applications, and the most common design patterns that are used with Hibernate, such as the Data Access Object (DAO) and EJB Command patterns. You'll see how you can test your Hibernate application easily and what other best practices are relevant if you work an object/relational mapping software.
Finally, you are introduced to the JBoss Seam framework, which takes many Hibernate concepts to the next level and enables you to create conversational web applications with ease.

High pressure setting up to our east will keep the next west coast storm north of us. By the time Wednesday night and Thanksgiving morning roll around, that high pressure starts to break down and move east.
With high pressure out of the way we could see some wet weather for the holiday. There should be some snow falling in the Sierra Nevada Mountains Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Most of that snow should stay near the crest with the Tahoe basin only seeing very light snow.
Reno/Sparks has a better chance for seeing snow on the valley floor Thanksgiving evening. It doesn't look like a huge storm, but it does look like there could be enough to give us some problems with the extra cars on the roads.
