ok yet another question about food
Not that really expensive place at the grand but what is your favourite disney restaurant for a fancy meal? we'll be going without kids if that matters
Bistro de Paris, by far. We also like, Yachtsman's Steakhouse, Jiko, Artist Point and for not so fancy but good food and fun atmosphere, Cape May's New England Clambake buffet.
Our favorite place to go is JIKO at AKL. However, I must agree with Tink, Bistro de Paris has been wonderful every time we have gone.

I was amazed at how quiet the Bistro was when my DW and I had dinner there a couple of weeks ago.Originally Posted by uscwest, post: 209366
We were given a window seat with a good view of Illuminations and the restaurant was barely half full so the staff didn`t rush us at all making for a very relaxing dinner.
The last time we went [last year] the place was heaving...maybe a sign of these economic times eh?
Isn't it lovely when you are not rushed and made to feel that you should eat and run? That was our experience there too, not rushed.
Having a window seat is lovely!
I think sometimes that the whole setting of the Bistro puts people off a bit. The stark black of the somber hostess, the need to "get clearance" to go upstairs, that sort of thing...
Lovely place though, we very nicely prepared food.
Too true Tink.Originally Posted by Tink, post: 209374
In fact an American couple on the next table to us were allowed to go outside part way through their dinner [in between courses] in order to watch Illuminations.
I did have a few reservations about going there this time having read about how the French had capitalised on the Brits who were stranded in their country due to the recent volcano eruption in Iceland by hiking up car rental and hotel costs be 2/300% etc.
In the end we had a great time and it was good to be able to practice my French by holding a conversation with one of the servers who came around to serve the bread. She even understood what I was saying!
Yes, I can understand your hesitation. I read about those sorts of gouging things going on too, and was not impressed to think that the French would be so lacking in hospitality and simple compassion.
I have a deep seated love for all things French though (comparable for my legendary love of all things Irish! ) because of my Grandfather.
I think it's great that you were brave enough to use your French! I choked when there last and did not. Too self conscious, and too long from a time when I used it better than I now do.
I know Herself loved the degustation menu, and we were allowed to share (suggested to share actually, by the server) so it was a perfect amount for both of us.
I think I may try to book it for her birthday this year... we'll see how life goes in the meantime... never do quite know what August will bring, eh?

I whipped up this little shirt over the weekend, and boy is their heat transfer paper fun to use! It took me a bit to figure out, but now that I have the hang of it I may just give up my freezer paper screen printing altogether! It was instant gratification-none of this waiting for the paint to dry stuff. Just cut, iron and done!

That turned out great! I would LOVE to be able to make my own t-shirts!!
It always looks adorable.. until the first wash. It never irons down properly, takes me forever! And never lasts past the first wash. Silhouette's heat transfer is a total waste of money!

BEIJING (AP) -- Chinese state media say 28 people have been killed after a double-decker sleeper bus collided with a methane-laden tanker in north China.
The official Xinhua News Agency says the vehicles burst into flames after colliding on a highway near the city of Yan'an in Shaanxi province early Sunday morning.
Xinhua says 28 bodies were recovered from the wreckage and three injured people have been taken to hospital.
The report says the death toll could rise because it is unclear how many people were on the bus at the time of the crash.

Comic Books
Showing results 1-3 of 3
With the sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow" arriving today in theaters, SPINOFF looks back at some of Cruiseâs coolest action-hero moments.
Between a woefully miscast Tom Cruise, a sadly underutilized supporting cast and a litany of terrible one-liners, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie's "Jack Reacher" disappoints on nearly all fronts.
"Jack Reacher" writer/director Christopher McQuarrie led a discussion on the controversy surrounding the casting of Tom Cruise in the lead role, working with Werner Herzog and shooting the film's big car-chase sequence.

I mean it's the middle of April! Last year I was planting flowers by this time.
Well you could be pushing up daisies instead...
We're having a fine spring here. It started a little late--snowdrops and crocuses missed March entirely, but April's been fine. I should qualify that. April's been fine if you work weekends and ride during the week. Fortunately, I do.
And I got all my early planting done- and last weekend snow and Frost. Lot of sorry looking plants in the garden now. But the bike riding is getting better.

Would Vermont qualify as location challenged??? It's snowing again.
I hear your pain, RG. I went out this afternoon after the Weather Channel promised me clearing weather after a week of off and on rain. The skies looked threatening, but they promised sun, dammit! Long story short, about 13 miles out, the rain started. After a couple miles of that, the sleet began. I limped home damp, but still feeling warm inside for getting out.

Seems like spring in the Ohio Valley this year has been more suited to pontoons than bicycles! But I know the real thing is just around the corner-at least I hope so!
72 F in Salt Lake today. My stoker and I did 80+ miles this weekend. I expect by Wednesday it will be snowing again. Life in the Rockies...
A little chilly snap hear right now... Saturday when I got home from the ride with the Historian, the temperature was about 65... yesterday at about the same time when I went to the store, the temp was 45. It looks like a another cool day today, and slowly rising to 70 again by the weekend.

Saturday in CT was spectacular in the morning. I got in a ride at 72deg (shorts and a tee shirt) The main trails (unpaved) are not as wet as I expected but some of the outlying trails are still ready to suck your rims under the surface.
This is the time of year with running water sounds everywhere in the woods. Now if we could get a few leaves and improve the pollen counts.
We are an empire. Use it wisely.
We did the park biking program in 40F, 15-20 mph winds and a few sprinkles putting the wind chill down into the 30's. These riders don't seem to care about weather conditions. We normally have 60+ riders but the not-so-good weather conditions cut it down to 23. Many of us were hoping for no one showing up for this one

yo homie, dats wut we calls tuna boona in da big house. betcha did a streach to get da mix up.
amazing.. better than the original ramen noodle!!
This is pretty good. At least it feels like I am eating a more balanced meal rather than just the plain ramen :) I think next time I'll use 1/2 can of tuna--it just seemed like a lot of tuna.
Very nice! A friend of mine who spent time in Japan recommended I try adding a can of tuna to ramen, and tonight I thought I'd try finding a recipe online. This was VERY delicious! To cut back on boiling time on the stove, I boiled water in an electric kettle, and poured that into a pot with the noodles and veggies. Was quicker than boiling in a pot.
I was a little skeptical of this recipe, but I had all the ingredients on hand so I tried it. This is really good! It makes 2 large servings and my toddler even liked it
I've tried this with tuna in water, mixed veggies, and a little dash of red pepper flakes to make it a little spicy. Yum and cheap.
I'm not even remotely a college kid ;) but I needed something to whip up quickly before grocery day - and all I had was ramen, tuna, butter, frozen vegetables, and a little milk haha... I subbed tuna in water (the stuff that comes in a pouch) and used some olive oil in the pan. I put both the tuna and the veggies in the pan while I cooked two packages of chicken flavored ramen, then strained the ramen and tossed it in the pan with everything else, sprinkled on one and a half seasoning packets and WOW it was yummy! It sounds like a mismatch, but it really works well - the seasoning/tuna makes the veggies seem sweet :) Very good, will make again!

Where Does Your Burger Come From?
Last month I wrote a post on the organic dairy debate, posing the question of is it really worth the price to drink the more expensive organic stamped milk. I personally don't drink a lot of milk but, like many Americans, buying organic everything at the store definitely does not fit with my current budget.
Today though, I'd like to talk a little bit about organic meat. I'm sure most of you have wondered where exactly your burger or chicken wings are coming from at least once in your life.
Well maybe you should. To be honest here, I never really wondered about my meat until I read the book Fast Food Nation in college and then watched movies such as Food, Inc and Super Size Me. After doing some research you might say I became even a little obsessed with where my meat came from. I shunned brands such as Perdue and Tyson and even went through a strict vegetarian phase, filling my grocery cart with tofu and lentils instead of chicken and pork (let it be known that I do love bacon now—very much).
Since that phase in my life, I have started to eat meat again. But now I make sure to read exactly where it's coming from before I buy. And I always buy organic. Here's why.
First of all, non-organic cattle can still consume gelatin, fats, oils, poultry and poultry by-products, rendered pork protein and rendered horse protein. No thanks. Call me disillusioned, but I prefer to think of my cows and chickens happily roaming around in tall, sweet grass and taking naps under afternoon sun. I also like to support local agricultural businesses whenever I can. Organic meat is more expensive, but I'd rather make sacrifices in other areas so I can afford my once monthly meat purchase.
What about you?

Tech Article: Exploring Java 8 Profiles
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Aug 27, 2014
Java 8 introduces the concept of Compact Profiles, which are reduced versions of the Java runtime environment (JRE) that do not contain the usual full contents of rt.jar. In the technical article "Exploring Java 8 Profiles," Java expert Ben Evans explores the advantages of using Compact Profiles and how they point the way toward a modular future for the JDK.
As Evans explains, reducing the size of the Java platform footprint and moving to a modular view of the JDK, can create great benefits:
- Faster Java Virtual Machine (JVM) startup times
- Reduced resource consumption
- Removal of packages that, in hindsight, shouldn't be in the core
- Improved security, because removing unused classes reduces the attack surface of the platform
- Convergence of the Java ME Connected Device Configuration (CDC) with Java SE
Java 8 Compact Profiles represent a significant step toward future goals for the platform—both in terms of embedded (or capability-restricted) development and also for server-side developers. Read "Exploring Java 8 Profiles" to learn more.

JavaOne Hackergarten (and Others Worldwide)
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Aug 25, 2014
by guest blogger Andres Almiray
It's with great pleasure that I announce JavaOne will host a Hackergarten this year once more. That's right, you did read it well, the name sticks, we're no longer renaming it to CodeGarten like last time ;-)
At JavaOne 2014, the Hackergarten has a dedicated space at the Java Hub in JavaOne exhibit hall, Hilton Union Square. The space has power, a private Internet network, white boards, and seating for 16. Attendees need to bring their laptops. You may stay as long as they want, from less than an hour to most of the three days. The format remains the same as other Hackergartens. Participants will contribute to open source projects.
The idea is to gather people around specific topics at the scheduled times. Topics range from Java SE, Java EE, JSRs, pretty much anything Java-related. Contributions can be production code, test cases, documentation, or simply a friendly chat in order to gather feedback. If you want to host a session (help people to work on an open source project), please contact me. The project page is here and will be updated as we fill out the schedule.
We are also running Hackergartens at other conferences. The following ones are already confirmed:
JCrete - Aug 25th (in English)
JavaZone - Sep 9th (in Norsk & English)
JMaghreb - Nov 6th (in French)
Learn more about Hackergartens at Hackergarten.net.

IoT: Wearables!
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Aug 20, 2014
Wearables are a subset of the Internet of Things that has gained a lot of attention. Wearables can monitor your infant's heartrate, open your front door, or warn you when someone's trying to hack your enterprise network. From Devoxx UK to Oracle OpenWorld to Devoxx4kids, everyone seems to be doing something with wearables.
In this video, John McLear introduces the NFC Ring. It can be used to unlock doors, mobile phones, transfer information and link people. The software for developers is open source, so get coding!
If you are coming to JavaOne or Oracle OpenWorld, join us for Dress Code 2.0, a wearables meetup. Put on your best wearables gear and come hang out with the Oracle Applications User Experience team and friends at the OTN Lounge. We'll discuss the finer points of use cases, APIs, integrations, UX design, and fashion and style considerations for wearable tech development. There will be gifts for attendees sporting wearable tech, while supplies last.
What: Dress Code 2.0: A Wearables Meetup
When: Tuesday, 30-September-2014, 4-6 PM
Where: OTN Lounge at Oracle OpenWorld

Release: Oracle Java Development Kit 8, Update 20
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Aug 19, 2014
Java Development Kit 8, Update 20 (JDK 8u20) is now available. This latest release of the Java Platform continues to improve upon the significant advances made in the JDK 8 release with new features, security and performance optimizations. These include: new enterprise-focused administration features available in Oracle Java SE Advanced; products offering greater control of Java version compatibility; security updates; and a very useful new feature, the MSI compatible installer.
New tools, features and enhancements highlighted from JDK 8 Update 20 are:
- Advanced Management Console
The Java Advanced Management Console 1.0 (AMC) is available for use with the Oracle Java SE Advanced products. AMC employs the Deployment Rule Set (DRS) security feature, along with other functionality, to give system administrators greater and easier control in managing Java version compatibility and security updates for desktops within their enterprise and for ISVs with Java-based applications and solutions.
- MSI Enterprise JRE Installer
Available for Windows 64 and 32 bit systems in the Oracle Java SE Advanced products, the MSI compatible installer enables system administrators to provide automated, consistent installation of the JRE across all desktops in the enterprise, free of user interaction requirements.
- Performance:
- String de-duplication resulting in a reduced footprint
- Improved support in G1 Garbage Collection for long running apps.
- A new 'force' feature in DRS (Deployment Rule Set) which allows system administrators to specify the JRE with which an applet or Java Web Start application will run. This is useful for legacy applications so end users don't need to approve security exceptions to run.
- Java Mission Control 5.4 with new ease-of-use enhancements and launcher integration with Eclipse 4.4
- JavaFX on ARM
- Nashorn performance improvement by persisting bytecode after inital compilation
There's much more information to be found in the JDK 8u20 Release Notes.

walkmod : A Tool to Apply Coding Conventions
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Aug 14, 2014
You know that applying coding conventions, specially in big projects, simplifies the project maintenance. And there are custom IDE features to configure a set of saving options to apply automatically a given code style. There are also open QA tools (e.g FindBugs, PMD) to check a set of metaprogramming rules, but these never fix the code. This is the reason why Raquel Pau and her team have been working hard to create walkmod, a metaprogramming framework to establish and share set of open coding conventions.
walkmod is a free, open source tool that allows you to design custom coding conventions and apply them as a chain of coding transformations into source files. walkmod supports 3 kind of transformations: (1)templates, (2)scripts or (3)plugins in Java.

Tech Article: Generics: How They Work and Why They Are Important
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Aug 07, 2014
In the new OTN tech article "Generics: How They Work and Why They Are Important," developer and book author Josh Juneau helps you gain a solid understanding of generics in Java SE 8.
There has been a lot of excitement in the Java world with the release of Java SE 8. New and updated language features in the release allow developers to be more productive by decreasing the amount of code that needs to be written and by making code easier to use. To fully understand the implementation of some new features, such as lambdas, it is important to understand the core concepts of the language. One such concept that plays an important role in many Java SE 8 features is generics.
The article provides some basic examples of how generics can be used to implement a solution that provides strong type-checking along with type flexibility. It also shows how generics play an important role in algorithms, and such is the case with the Collections API and functional interfaces, which are used for the enablement of lambda expressions.
Read OTN's "Generics: How They Work and Why They Are Important"
Article author Josh Juneau has written the following books: The Definitive Guide to Jython and PL/SQL Recipes (both Apress, 2010). Josh recently authored Java EE 7 Recipes and Introducing Java EE 7 (both Apress, 2013) and is working on the upcoming Apress book Java 8 Recipes, which will be published later this year.

Resources for PA Schools
The PA IPM Program, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and The Pennsylvania State University Colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Education, developed this comprehensive school IPM manual.
EPA developed a unique software tool to help school districts evaluate and manage their school facilities for key environmental, safety and health issues. The Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool (HealthySEAT) is designed to be customized and used by district-level staff to conduct completely voluntary self-assessments of their school (and other) facilities and to track and manage information on environmental conditions school by school.
Arrive at the before and after costs for IPM.
The manual includes chapters about IPM, including monitoring and inspection, treatment strategies, action and injury levels, and how to develop an IPM program. It also has chapters on specific pests that cause problems in structures or on lawns and grounds, such as cockroaches, flies, lice, rodents, bed bugs and stinging insects.
The Community IPM Project has both experts and resources to help schools, local agencies, and house projects with pest management programs.
This brochure is intended for school and child care facility staff, parents, and pest management professionals. Everyone has a role in IPM to prevent and manage pests in and around schools and child care facilities.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The NCAA ruled UCLA freshman guard Shabazz Muhammad eligible to play Friday, and the star freshman guard is set to make his Bruins debut Monday night.
Muhammad will be in the lineup when the No. 13 Bruins (3-0) return to action Monday night in New York against Georgetown at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
``I am excited to be able to play for UCLA starting next Monday,'' Muhammad said in a statement released by the school. ``My family and friends were very supportive of me throughout this process and I couldn't have gone through this without them.''
The NCAA announced Nov. 9, less than two hours before the Bruins' opener, that Muhammad was ineligible. UCLA filed a formal appeal Wednesday.
``We are extremely grateful that this matter has come to a conclusion,'' UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said in a statement. ``I want to recognize that a lot of long hours and tireless effort were put into this process by staff members from UCLA and the NCAA, as well as by Shabazz Muhammad's family.
``This entire process has been challenging on many fronts, but we believe strongly in the principles of fairness, integrity and due process.''
Muhammad led Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas to three Nevada Class AAAA titles, averaging 29.4 points and 10.1 rebounds last season as a senior. He was the Naismith Boy's High School Player of the Year and the MVP in the McDonald's All-American game.

Product Description:
Amazon and Barnes and Noble Top 100 Bestselling Romantic Comedy and Humorous Mystery Author D. D. Scott is back...this time, with Book 3 in her Cozy Cash Mystery Series – Carats and Coconuts.
Think Will and Kate gone Bond, James Bond in the gem smuggling world of Brazil's Amazon Rainforest...with the help of Grams, who now has a Queen of Crabby Maxine fixation.
Book Description:
There's crazy.
Then there's a cut above crazy.
And when your parents are two of the world's top gemologists, you not only learn to deal with cuts – brilliant, baguette, briolette and the list goes on - but you also get damn good at dealin' with the crazies that those cuts bring into your life. And by crazies, think the smugglers and thieves who transport gems around the globe.
So yeah, as you can imagine, Zoey Witherspoon's life has been anything but Mayberry. And she doesn't see that changing anytime soon.
As a Designer and Stylist to The Stars, a fairly new PI, and now the Princess of Caserta, she's got one crazy-packed resume. As if that's not enough, she's also the daughter of George and Suzie Witherspoon of Witherspoon & Witherspoon, the world's premiere gem vault and lapidary.
The world can't responsibly deal with the kinds of wealth her parents cut from rocks. The gem trade breeds its own kind of terror. And Zoey's about to put an end to it...or at least the part of it she knows how to stop. Unless the smugglers stop her first.
Bonus Content Included:
In case you missed D. D.'s Cozy Cash Mystery Christmas Novella – Hullabaloo and Holly Too - which gives you a superfab fun set-up to Carats and Coconuts – or missed A Cut Above Crazy (the prequel to Carats and Coconuts)...no worries...'cause they're both included!

Since then, very little has been seen by either ball club, and this could be a deciding week for either one of these teams.

Dramatic Wedding Centerpieces
Wedding centerpieces can have a really dramatic feel due their color and complexity. You can achieve a very dramatic flower arrangement if you just choose the right colors and style for these centerpieces. These bouquets have to be done by a professional florist but you can also try and make them yourself if this is not your first time creating flower decorations. Some tutorials on how these bouquets are done can also give you tips and pointers. Just respect the indications and you will have a successful table ornament. Instead of flowers you can also incorporate twigs. They can be purchase from a wholesale store and you can use them on their own to accentuate this look or use them in combination with other elements.
Adding paper flowers on these twigs will give the centerpieces a more modern vibe. These twig arrangements are very tall and impressive in size , so you will need to find a proper container for this look. Make sure that you add beads in the containers so that the twigs are secured. You can also use candles to create this dramatic table look. Tall candles can be quite impressive especially if you decide to choose an unusual color mixture. Black and red candles might not seem appropriate for a wedding, but if your theme is a Halloween concept, then it's perfect. Your decorations have to be dramatic in order to reflect this concept. So you can easily decide to use these dark color combinations and styles.
Pumpkins can be added on the tables and you can fill them up with unique looking candles. For a summer theme, fruits are your best option. They can be carved in lots of ways. Watermelons and coconuts can be used for a tropical theme and more. You can ask a professional to carve the fruits and to make them as dramatic as you want. These fruits sculptures are a very modern approach and you can create lots of fun decorations with them. Remember that your theme should be your main influence and your centerpieces should reflect the concept you've started with. Have this in mind when choosing to add a dramatic note to your table decorations.

Let 'em in or keep 'em out?
There is no middle ground in the debate about admission to the Baseball Hall of Fame for users of performance-enhancing drugs. The bigger issue is figuring out whether a whole generation of players is suspect.
Thanks or no thanks to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, the issue is again center stage.
Results of 2014 voting will be released Wednesday. Greg Maddux is a slam dunk to make the Hall in his first year of eligibility.
Beyond that, there is mystery shrouded in perpetual debate about whether otherwise clearly qualified PEDs-tainted players will get the nod.
Bonds and Clemens are the unwitting poster children, superstars tied to doping scandals that tainted the latter parts of their careers. Sure, there are other PEDs users on the ballot — Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa among the notable — but they are not as close to receiving a "yes" vote on 75 percent of ballots, the requirement for admission.
Clemens got 38 percent and Bonds 36 percent last year, with many voters taking their integrity into account.
Should it be that way? Should Bonds, MLB's all-time home-run leader (762) be kept out of the Hall? Should seven-time Cy Young winner Clemens be excluded?
Your answer may depend on how you view the honor. Is it a matter of tribute or simply a recognition of achievement?
George Will, the conservative columnist and baseball aficionado thinks the latter. He argues for the induction of Bonds.
"His hits happened. Erase them, and there will be discrepancies in baseball's bookkeeping about the records of the pitchers who gave them up," Will wrote. "George Orwell said that in totalitarian societies, yesterday's weather could be changed by decree. Baseball, indeed America, is not like that."
Yes, Bonds' hits happened. But the Hall is not about raw statistics. If it was, a mathematical formula could decide entrance.
What about the impact that actions had on those who follow the game?
"Players that are guilty of taking steroids are not only cheaters, you are cowards," said Donald Hooten, father of a high school baseball player who committed suicide after steroid use. "Show our kids that you're man enough to face authority, tell the truth and face the consequences."
One of those consequences should be the exclusion from historical honors like the hall.
So, where does that leave us? Should the best players, warts and all, be in the hall? Or should integrity play a role?
If you follow the "warts and all" philosophy, then how do you account for PEDs directly impacting the performance of Bonds, et al?
Here's the bigger issue for the hall: We only know about those players who failed drug tests or others associated with certain labs. Those may be in the minority of users if we are to believe anecdotal evidence that as many as half of players were juicing and that creative labs continue to be far ahead of the testing process today.
As Peter Gammons wrote this week:
"These elections will forever be fractious until we come to grips with The Steroids Era, which despite the hours and money put in by (MLB) to try to get the enablers and chemists that lie below the skin of the sport, we still don't absolutely know still don't exist. Again: not one of the 13 players suspended because of the Biogenesis lab actually tested positive."
Let that soak in. We are dealing with guilt by association.
There lies the problem with Wednesday's vote, which likely will keep out Bonds and Clemens again. A whole generation juiced, just as a generation took amphetamines through the 1980s and beyond without any consequence. It may be still be going on today. Indeed, we seem naïve to think otherwise.
One lab expert suggests that for every identifiable PED, there are 100 that escape current detection through slight chemical modifications.
Baseball writers are dealing in a vacuum with little precise information in deciding how it affects their Hall votes. There is no "Baseball America" guidebook of juicers, Gammons laments.
That leads voters to be more cautious, as was the case last year, when no inductions were made.
Let 'em in or keep 'em out?
Most writers are still trying to figure who "they" are. Until they do, the doors to the Baseball Hall of Fame will open for only a few.

How would you go about cleaning up a huge list of rewrites that accumulated over many years? The idea is to get rid of all the overridden and unused redirect statements while preserving everything that works.
I am thinking of enabling RewriteLog and setting RewriteLogLevel to 3 or 4 for a day or so, then parsing through the log and identifying "dead" rewrites, commenting them out, then checking the logs for fresh 404s.
Have you had to do a mod_rewrite cleanup like that and/or do you have any other ideas?

A random glitch I've found is Sandy getting stuck in Battle for Bikini Bottom. In Downtown Bikini Bottom, if you lasso glide into the second or third platform and move underneath it, Sandy gets stuck for eternity and you have to go exit through the menu. It's really sucky lol.
That game also has a lot of other glitches. You can get out of almost all of the maps and go into the "yonder" of each one. Guess that's one of the only things the developers missed, I guess.

text: Our View on the Final Participant Advice Rules Seth J. Masters November 10, 2011 Americas, Defined Contribution In a reversal, the US Department of Labor's final regulation requires computer-generated investment advice to include target-date funds when comparing the investment offerings provided by a defined contribution plan. But the hurdles to being compliant are high.As a result, many advisers may choose to provide advice in other, easier ways, as our ERISA attorney, Daniel Notto, explains below. The Department of Labor's (DOL's) final regulation on providing investment advice to participants is welcome news. It closes the loop on this issue in the Pension Protection Act (PPA), which was passed five years ago. It's also good for participants, especially those in midsize and smaller plans who probably don't have much, if any, access to investment advice. The final rule establishes new mechanisms that advisers can use to help participants choose among the specific investment options in a company's defined contribution (DC) plan, while avoiding potential conflicts of interest if the adviser may have a vested interest in promoting one option. We've written a synopsis of the final regulations. Here, I'd like to focus on two interesting changes made from the 2010 proposed rule to October's final rules. The changes relate to advice generated by a computer model certified to be unbiased by an independent investment expert. The initial proposal allowed these models to exclude asset-allocation funds, such as target-date funds, probably because computer programs would have difficulty comparing them with stand-alone funds. But that would have eliminated target-date funds from the modeling "contest" before it even began. And that might unfairly skew a participant's eventual investment selection against target-date funds. AllianceBernstein helped write comments that were sent to the DOL about the benefit of target-date funds. We believe that the comments contributed to the change in the final rule, which states that computer models must consider target-date funds if they're on an investment menu. The initial proposal also said that the computer-advice model couldn't take into account the historical performance of investment options but must account for any fees or expenses. This would favor lower-cost index funds over actively managed funds, several comments noted. While the debate over the merits of active versus passive investing may never end, the DOL clarified that it didn't intend to ban consideration of historical performance: the computer models can take this into account when generating advice. One big question remains: The final rule creates a lot of hurdles that advice providers would have to clear to be compliant. Among them is an annual audit of the advice model performed by an independent auditor. Since there are already other ways to provide advice, it's unclear how much use this feature of the PPA will get. The phrase "target date" in a fund's name refers to the approximate year when a participant expects to retire and begin withdrawing from his or her account. Target-date funds gradually adjust their asset allocation, lowering risk as participants near retirement. Investments in target-date funds are not guaranteed against loss of principal at any time, and account values can be more or less than the original amount invested—including at the time of the fund's target date. Also, investing in target-date funds does not guarantee sufficient income in retirement.

Did you ever buy back into ITIC?
pjv.: No, never did. It is a good company I made a lot of money pretty fast and didn't want to lose it. At this point, I would have been better off to stay. Some of the other ones I sold went down.I still expect the credit system to tighten and for interest rates to go up. At some point I would hope to buy (1-2 years) back in. It may not happen. Good luck to you. Maybe when ITIC goes to $100 a share I can clean your pool for you.

The Burger Wars
In a city as burger-obsessed as New York, it's a tall claim to say you've got one of the best.
Lunch at the Tavern
"I'll put it up against any other burger in town," said co-owner Eugene Brennan, a full-time New York City firefighter who co-owns Park Avenue Tavern with childhood friends Daniel and Terence Tubridy and fellow firefighter Stephen Maly.
This American gastropub, which opened last winter, serves familiar and comforting foods like roast chicken, grilled cheese, pork ribs and that big, wonderful "Tavern Burger." It's made with beef from "celebrity butcher" Pat LaFrieda, Gorgonzola cheese, red onion and garlic aioli and costs $15. A runner-up to the burger is the short-rib French dip with caramelized onions and Taleggio cheese—a sandwich of almost-too-savory layers for $17.
The Midtown East location attracts lawyers, people in the financial industry and some tourists. In the downstairs barrel room there are self-pour, pay-by-the ounce beer taps (like a gas station of beer) for the after-work crowd.
—Melanie Grayce West
Park Avenue Tavern, 99 Park Ave. at 39th Street, serves lunch 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, and brunch from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.

I was ignorant. Stubbornly ignorant. But I always am. And that is my secret to my success. (I should note here that by 'success' I mean working on cable television. Basic cable. On a show that gets a noticeable ratings bump when we stunt-cast a wrestler.)

Stacking Capabilities
Allows the projectors to boost an image's brightness up to 20,000 lumens, which is ideal for larger-sized screens and environments with heavy ambient light. This feature also prevents the complete loss of an image, which can happen when using only one projector.
5 Bayonet-Style Lenses
Allows for quick and easy lens exchange. Optional lenses enable the user to determine the appropriate lens to cover projection distances between 2.6 and 283 feet.
Intuitively syncs the projector with most computer signals and features one-touch image optimization.
HQV Video Processing
A high-performance video processing/scaling system designed for computer signals as well as standard or high-definition video, this technology brings home-theater-quality images to meeting rooms and classrooms using pixel-based, motion-adaptive de-interlacing to remove undesirable motion.
Windows Remote Desktop
Allows you to control a networked computer by connecting a USB mouse and keyboard directly to the projector's USB input.
Windows Networking
Displays multimedia files (.jpeg, .bmp, .png, .mpeg2 or .wmv9) in the Windows shared folder on a local network using the Viewer function--all without bringing your PC into the conference room.
ECO Mode
Extends lamp life, lowers audible noise and reduces total cost of ownership.
Advanced AccuBlend
Ensures detailed images when non-native resolution sources are connected to the projector.
Built-in Wall Color Correction
Presets provide for adaptive color tone correction to display properly on non-white surfaces.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Usui Reiki Level 1 Guidebook is an introduction to the natural system of healing known as Reiki Ryoho. The book includes a history of Japanese Reiki and its founder Mikao Usui, and various methods for using Reiki. It provides information on the hand positions for self healing and giving a treatment to another person, as well as meditations for enhancing your Reiki practice. The book is great for a Reiki level 1 student, and as an introduction to this modality. For more information visit www.pathtoreiki.com.
On my path to find purpose and spirituality in my own life, I became an Usui Reiki Master and Teacher in Brooklyn, New York in 2005. I had previously lived in Japan and was drawn to learn more about this ancient healing art from a traditional Japanese teacher. Today I am a Master of Usui Reiki Ryoho, Karuna Reiki, and Sekhem-Seichim Reiki (SSR). In 2008 I became a Reconnective Healing Practitioner and work with all of these modalities in a unique and integrated way. I have worked with hundreds of people and animals and am delighted to share this gift with all of you.

The Baptist General Convention of Texas will hold its annual meeting at the Amarillo Civic Center, marking the sixth time Amarillo will host the convention since 1947, Texas Baptists spokeswoman Kaitlin Warrington said.
Amarillo previously hosted the event in 1947, 1983, 1994 and 2007, she said.
The three-day conference, which will begin Monday, will involve representatives from churches across the state, and convention members will vote to elect a new president and vice president, Warrington said.
For the 2012 year, the convention is anticipated to generate a total of $41,342,531 in revenue, she said. The convention dedicates 49 percent of its budget for evangelism and mission work, 27 percent for education and discipleship purposes, 14 percent for administration costs and 10 percent for advocacy and care objectives.
The convention plans to vote on the 2012 budget proposal at the meeting, which will reduce the convention's funding of Baptist college Baylor University in Waco to $1.9 million from about $2.8 million the convention contributed in 2011, Warrington said.
The conference will also include presentations from author Ron Hall, LifeWay research President Ed Stetzer, Missional Church Center founder Milfred Minatrea, and Bob Roberts, pastor of Northwood Church in Keller, she said.
The convention will vote in new presidential nominees at the conference, she said. Convention members have nominated Jerry Carlisle, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Plano, for president. First Baptist Church Decatur Pastor Jeff Johnson is nominated as first vice president and Byron Stevenson, pastor of the Fort Bend Church in Sugar Land, has been nominated for second vice president.
The meeting will also offer participants opportunites to minister to people in Amarillo with a series of projects beginning Tuesday morning. Volunteers can help serve food to high schoolers at Iglesia Bautista Fuente Viva, help with a field day experience for kids at City Church's privately-funded school, clean, paint and landscape at Bruce Ford Community Center and Buckner Family Place, serve lunch and share the message of Jesus Christ at a free burger bash at Amarillo College, share the gospel by walking house-to-house in Amarillo neighborhoods, collect and sort shoes for young people at Mission Amarillo, or participate in literary ministry by collecting books, building bookcases and reading to underprivileged children, spokesman John Hall said.
To pre-register for volunteer efforts, visit www.texasbaptists
.org/annualmeeting and click on the "Ignite Hope" link. Volunteers can also same-day register at the Civic Center.

Not every road trip is a symbol of celebration and freedom; sometimes you're just wallowing in grief, or perhaps fleeing the soul-shrapnelizing ruin you've created back home. Regardless of your misery's root cause — and, let's face it, it's probably your own dumb fault — there's no better place to mourn ostentatiously than alone in a car late at night, when no one's around to witness your pitiful, spluttering sobs.
These five songs all come from a bountiful crop of mid-'00s miserablism, with no shortage of guilt, disappointment, regret and even death in their grim words. But they're all beautiful, cathartic and useful in their own way — kind of like ipecac for your tear glands. Once they're over, when you've come back and are safely nestled beneath the damp covers of your musty futon, be sure to grab your laptop, click here and cry yourself to sleep.

I am completely redoing my bedroom, changing all color schemes. I purchased a complete bedding set, new bedside tables, new Tiffany lamps. So bedding and lamps have specific colors in them. I looked at your picture online and the border was more gold and it appeared to have the perfect green. Instead, when it arrived, it was nothing like the picture. There was no gold, turquoise and baby blue - totally off from my color scheme.
I purchased both the 9' x 13' and the 4' round rugs. They are beautiful! The smell from the wool was overpowering at first but has gradually subsided. The photo on the site makes the beige border look more gold which was one of the reasons I loved the rug in the first place. However, now that the rugs are in place, the beige is probably a better color since it helps to allow the deep rich claret red to come forward. The quality is excellent and these rugs will be passed down for many years.

Soon, her perfectly composed, highly contrasted and dynamic photographs had giant corporate clients clamoring for her services.
"When she began courting corporations, she was one of the few women who were actively competing in a man's world and a lot of the men photographers were very jealous of her," says Phillips. "The rumor got around that it wasn't a woman who was taking the photographs—that it wasn't really her."
Neither her gender nor her age posed a problem for Henry Luce, publisher of Time. In what became a lasting partnership, he hired the 25-year-old Bourke-White for his new magazine, Fortune and gave her almost a free hand. She went to Germany, made three trips to the Soviet Union—the first Western photojournalist to be given access—and traveled all around the United States, including the Midwest, which was experiencing the severest drought in the country's history.
When Luce decided to start a new magazine, he again turned to Bourke-White. One of Life's original four photographers, her picture of Fort Peck Dam in Montana made the first cover on November 23, 1936, when she was 32. Her accompanying cover story is regarded as the first photo essay—a genre, says Phillips, "that would become an integral part of the magazine for the next 20 years."
With the United States in the grips of the Great Depression, Bourke-White undertook a trip through the South with Erskine Caldwell, the famed author of Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre. Their collaboration resulted in a book on Southern poverty, You Have Seen Their Faces. The haggard images staring back at the camera confirmed her "increasing understanding of the human condition," says Phillips. "She became skilled at capturing the human experience."
She and Caldwell moved in together (even though he was married at the time), wed, collaborated on three more books and, although both were passionate advocates of social justice, divorced in 1942. "Mine is a life into which marriage doesn't fit very well," she said.
The advent of the Second World War gave her a chance to show her bravery as well as her skill. The first woman accredited as a war correspondent, she crossed into Germany with General Patton, was in Moscow when the Germans attacked, accompanied an Air Force crew on a bombing raid and traveled with the armed forces in North Africa and Italy. To the Life staff she became "Maggie the Indestructible."
But there was grumbling that she was "imperious, calculating and insensitive" and used her unquestionable charm to gain an advantage over her male competitors. Unlike other photographers who had converted to the much lighter 35mm, she lugged around large-format cameras, which, along with wooden tripods, lighting equipment and a developing tank, could weigh 600 pounds. "Generals rushed to carry her cameras and even Stalin insisted on carrying her bags," reported fellow photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.
After the war ended, she continued to use her lenses as the eyes of the world, documenting Gandhi's non-violent campaign in India and apartheid in South Africa. Her image of Gandhi at the spinning wheel is one of the best-known photographs in the world. She was the last journalist to see him alive; he was assassinated in 1948, minutes after she had interviewed him.
In 1952, while covering the Korean conflict, she suffered a fall. While seeking a cause for the accident she was diagnosed with Parkinson's, which she fought with the courage she had shown all her life. But two brain surgeries made no difference to her deteriorating condition. With Parkinson's tightening its hold, she wrote Portrait of Myself, an instant bestseller, each word a struggle, according to her neighbors in Darien, Connecticut, who remembered her as a vital younger woman dressed in designer clothes, promenading with a walking stick in the company of her two Afghan dogs.

Here's my question: Why are you even using IE?
I honestly don't see Windows 8 as a bad OS. It's only bad if you don't have a touchscreen, but with the update that is coming soon, it looks like it'll get a lot of well-deserved fixes, including half-half screen split instead of 25-75 or 75-25 splits. The one thing I'm liking about W8 is the amount of customization that you can put into it. It's a lot more than any previous version of Windows offered, and that's just right out of the box. In my opinion, Vista has to be the worst, based on personal experience. It was downright buggy, and it was very slow on my desktop, especially because there was a dramatic speed increase when I got a 7 Home Premium upgrade from a friend last Christmas.
IE is actually good now. If it could do all the things chrome could do right now(syncing, etc), I would switch to it.
