Barenaked Ladies has started fleshing out their 2014 summer tour schedule with a couple of new dates in Canada. The additions include a maritime Canada Day show in PEI and a Record Store Day appearance in Toronto.
According to an updated posted April 11 at the band's official Facebook page, the veteran Canuck alt-rockers will return home to the Great White North to perform on July 1 in Charlottetown, PEI at Charlottetown Event Grounds. The bill also includes a diverse line-up of home-grown talent, including indie-rock duo Tegan and Sara, rapper Classified, country singer George Canyon, singer-songwriter Roch Voisine, crooner David Myles and also boasts Canada's largest fireworks display.
In addition, BNL's tour page at Pollstar.com also show new Canadian listings for the band, including a Record Store Day performance and autograph signing appearance on April 19 in Toronto at Sunrise Records, as well as a July 30 stop in Saskatoon, SK at Bessborough Gardens. The band will also join Lady Gaga, Journey, The Killers and the rest of the huge line up performing at RBC Bluesfest, which runs July 3 - July 1 with BNL appearing at the festival on July 11 in Ottawa, ON at Lebreton Flats Park.
The multi-Juno winner recently wrapped up a string of dates North America in support of their 11th studio album, "Grinning Streak." Earlier this week, they made a TV appearance on CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada," performing the National Anthem prior to the NHL game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets.
Last month, the Scarborough, ON natives announced their first round of U.S. summer tour dates, which kick off July 18 in Newport, R.I. as part of the Newport Sunset Music Series at Newport Yachting Centre and wrap up Aug. 8 in Tulsa, Okla. at River Spirit Casino. More dates are expected to be added soon.

Pondigo offers a fun, safe environment that gives you control over your online dating experience. That said, we recommend you exercise caution when getting to know people online and off-line. Don't be afraid to meet people. Just be sure to use a little common sense.
While our alumni verification process provides Pondigo subscribers with a bit more reassurance regarding the individuals participating in this site (and should allow us to locate the true identity of any member for police investigative purposes), we can't vouch for every member and we recommend you utilize appropriate levels caution as you develop relationships via the site.
The following tips can help to ensure a fun, safe dating experience:
The basics of your online dating experience:
DO guard your identity:
Never post personal contact information in your profile. Don't share your real name, personal phone numbers, or any other identifying information while emailing until you are comfortable doing so.
DO remain anonymous until you feel safe and ready:
Your communication options on Pondigo are designed with "doubleblind" technology to help you protect your identity until you choose to reveal it. If the other person provides his or her phone number early in the email exchange, that doesn't obligate you to use it or reciprocate.
DO be careful when using a sexy name:
Keep in mind that, while using sexual connotations in your email address or user name might get you noticed, it probably won't attract the sort of person you'd like to share a relationship with — or even a conversation, for that matter. Also, do not include your real name in your profile or in your user name.
DO use a current picture and be truthful in your description of yourself in your profile:
Misleading descriptions or photos can result in angry feelings and can end a relationship before it begins. In the long run, honesty is your best relationship tool.
DO trust your gut:
Immediately quit corresponding if you feel unsure or threatened.
DO keep a record of your conversations:
Remember to save your emails for future reference. Pondigo does not retain copies of your correspondence longer than 30 days.
DO block abusers:
We STRONGLY encourage you to block any member who behaves in an abusive manner and to report the behavior to Pondigo. You can block people and report concerns from any profile page or directly from your email window.
Examples of abuse include:
*Our Terms of Use strictly prohibits the use of this service for the purpose of solicitation. Please notify us immediately if another member sends you links to a pay-to-view site or includes instructions about how to call a 1-900 number. Also, you should report invitations to join other singles sites or attempts to sell any merchandise or service.
The next step: meeting offline:
Most first meetings are perfectly safe. But it's always smart to take basic precautions. Always trust your instincts. And be sure to keep the following guidelines in mind:
DO meet in public:
ALWAYS arrange to rendezvous in a populated, public place. NEVER meet in a private home (or in a hotel room) or in a remote location.
DO tell a friend:
Tell at least one friend or family member you are meeting, where you are going and when you expect to return. Let your date know the meeting is not a secret.
DO stay sober:
Refrain from drinking excessively, as it could impair your ability to make good decisions and may put you at risk.
DON'T leave home without your mobile phone:
If you have a mobile phone, take it with you on dates. Most cell phones can be used to call 911.
DON'T ask the other person to pick you up:
Get yourself to and from the date, even if you have to have a friend drive you or take a taxi.
DON'T leave personal belongings (purses, wallets) or drinks unattended:
Don't risk having your personal information stolen. The same goes for your drink — don't risk having it tampered with. If you must leave your drink unattended to go to the restroom, order another when you return.
DON'T succumb to the temptation to take first dates to your home (or to go to his/her home):
Stay in a public place, even if you are pressured. If you feel pressured, end the meeting and leave at once.
Trusting your instincts:
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
If the other person can only meet or talk to you at odd hours, he or she may be keeping a secret.
Get as many details as possible about the other person BEFORE meeting off-line.
DO a little digging. Ask questions, utilize Internet search engines and common sense. You can also ask your date to submit to a background check, but be careful — a background check is only as good as the information provided to the checker.
DO be wary of someone who is vague, talks in circles or answers questions with other questions. Some people are very private, but if you're about to take your relationship to the next level, this isn't the time for reservation.
DO proceed with caution if someone pledges undying love after a first meeting — or even after several conversations online.
Lust at first sight is alive and well, but love is, generally, an acquired feeling.
DO guard your financial information and beware of solicitation.

Beautiful hat!
By Doug
from Mountains of the Southwest
About Me Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish, Trendy
This is an attractive Irish style cap. I have many from Jonathan Richards and Hanna Hats from Ireland, and this Hungarian-made quality does not disappoint. The GoreTex and built-in ear muffs offer extra protection from the elements that my full wool Irish caps cannot. The material, pattern, and color is absolutely perfect for me.The shape of these hats is incredibly important; in windy weather the wind blows right over the aerodynamic angle, allowing you to keep your noggin warm and dry in inclement weather. The wool/GoreTex blend is incredibly comfortable in cold weather and the ear muffs, although not thick, do a great job in protecting your ears.The only con, and why I knocked off one star is because of the sizing. I wear a 60-61cm in all my European size hats, which corresponds to the XL in this hat. The XL is at least a full size huge in comparison. Perhaps I received an outlier- as such I ordered another in size L and will amend my review upon receipt.

I read many of the comments and almost followed the indication that this hat come much larger than expected. I ordered my correct size and am glad I did! It fits great, a little big but it needs to be to pull down the ear muffs. I also have a Stormy Kromer hat and that one was much too small, so I know what I am talking about.Don,t be afraid to order this hat, you will be pleased!

Wonderful cap -- well made and stylish
By Chuckles
from Granite Falls, WA
I bought this cap for my husband for his birthday. He was "between sizes," and I guessed wrong, so had to reorder it in a smaller size. But it was worth the hassle. He loves the cap and has been wearing it everywhere. He has even gotten comments from people about how jaunty and dapper he looks in it.

On Tuesday, Jan. 14, six days of testing, timing, and experimentation came to a close at the historic Daytona International Speedway; an event known as Preseason Thunder. The NASCAR Camping World Trucks were the last of the major NASCAR touring series to hit the track on Monday and Tuesday, and the young guns were out in full force for the 2014 season.
Brand-new Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota trucks made their debuts on Monday at Daytona International Speedway, testing their set-ups in preparation for the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 on Friday, Feb. 21; part of Budweiser Speedweeks 2014. The broadcast of the race is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET, with live coverage on FOX Sports 1, Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
Twenty trucks recorded times during an extended test session Monday. Teams were granted an extra 45 minutes to test their trucks in the draft, as weather threatened to impact Tuesday's track time. They made the most of that time, as a 10-truck draft finished off Monday's action in high-speed style.
On Monday's first day of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series testing, Turner Scott Motorsports driver Jeb Burton, son of 2002 Daytona 500 champion Ward Burton, posted the top speed of 191.144 mph in the No. 4 Chevrolet. Ben Kennedy, great-grandson of NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway founder William H.G. "Big Bill" France, was second fastest at 190.925 followed by John Wes Townley (190.917), Matt Crafton (190.634) and Darrell Wallace (190.634).
"I'm excited," said Burton, who is preparing for his second full season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. "I think it could be an advantage for us. I feel like our guys are working really hard with this new body style in the wind tunnel and testing a lot trying to make it better. I'm really excited to be back with these guys. My team is pumped up. We're ready to go."
The two-day test was a moment that Kennedy had been dreaming about for many years. Entering his first full season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driving for Turner Scott Motorsports, Kennedy is the son of ISC Chief Executive Officer Lesa France Kennedy and grandson to Bill France Jr.
"The first two laps or so I was grinning from ear to ear," Kennedy said. "It was really awesome to do that. From always being around this racetrack and always watching races here and working here and doing pretty much everything here, I was sort of born and raised here. Being able to go around the track was something special, and being able to race here on the same weekend as the Daytona 500 is something awesome."
He was practically raised at the "World Center of Racing" and turning his first laps around the 2.5-mile tri-oval put a big smile on the rookie driver's face. Kennedy is campaigning for top rookie honors in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series after competing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East since 2010.
Kennedy began his racing career on the short tracks of Central Florida. He has Pro-Truck championship titles at both Orlando Speedworld and New Smyrna Speedway, which he earned in 2009, followed by the Super Late Model championship at Orlando Speedworld in 2010.
"I've experienced a little bit of drafting, but not to that magnitude," Kennedy said. "It's a little bit different from what I expected. The side draft, and all of that different stuff, it was a unique experience."
While he has competed at Daytona on the backstretch in last year's UNOH Battle At The Beach, he had never turned laps on the 2.5-mile tri-oval and had never participated in any kind of drafting sessions until this week.
Series champion Matt Crafton is back to defend his championship and the Preseason Thunder test whetted his appetite for the action that awaits in 2014.
"It's just always a hope or a prayer that you could possibly get here and be able to race here, and now that I'm doing it, it's just a blessing to be able to do what I do and get paid to do what you love to do," Crafton said. "I've got the best job in the world."
On Tuesday, showers delayed the start of testing until early afternoon and only a handful of teams remained to participate on the second day with Johnny Sauter being the fastest at 183.921 mph. Testing earlier during Preseason Thunder were the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series.
"I think we've had a good test down here with all three series," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition and racing development. "The Sprint Cup Series session was a nice long day but it nonetheless was a good test; the Nationwide Series had obviously the best overall test in terms of timing and cooperation from the weather; and it looks like everybody with the Camping World Truck Series came down prepared, which is good to see."
Next up at the "World Center of Racing" will be the Rolex 24 At Daytona Weekend on Jan. 22-26. Stay tuned to this column for in-depth coverage of next weekend's action, including interviews with drivers, team owners, and more!

The Morning Download: CIOs Face Economic Woes
The Morning Download cues up the most important news in business technology every weekday morning. Send us your tips, compliments and complaints.
Good morning. Economic indicators are flashing yellow, but CIOs have been down this road before, and they seem the wiser for it. They also have better tools to help their companies react to economic turmoil than they had in 2007, when cloud technologies were still unproven.
Daniel Stroot, CIO at Allianz Global Investors of America, is leasing private cloud technology that allows his organization to scale its European and Asian operations without creating significant additional costs. He has also championed the use of public cloud technology for applications ranging from payroll to financial settlements, allowing Allianz to progressively reduce its need for a private cloud, and negotiated terms allowing the company to start paying less after three years if its power usage declines. Leasing a private cloud also means he can leave the management of a data center to others, giving him and his staff the bandwidth to work on other projects. "It was the strategic thing to do, and it also saves money," Stroot told CIO Journal.
Allianz is not the only company making use of leasing to weather the storm. In June, the overall volume of new business in equipment leasing and financing rose 29% over May 2012, according to a July 25 report from the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association. Computing equipment and software accounts for almost a quarter of overall volume. "Many companies are choosing to use leasing and financing options in order to preserve capital," Joseph Pucciarelli, vice president and IT executive adviser at research firm IDC, told CIO Journal. In uncertain times, companies tend to batten down their balance sheets, he said. This year, IDC predicts that the market for leasing and financing IT equipment will reach $67.3 billion, up from $64.7 billion last year.
There is, of course, no single tool that fits all needs. Yet according to Bruce Myers, an IT consultant with turnaround specialist AlixPartners, many CIOs focus on finding tools before they've figured out what problem they're trying to solve. Paradoxically, IT often has people who know the business processes better than the businesses do. CIOs "can be the ones bringing the ideas," Myers tells CIO Journal.
Cemex, the large Mexican building materials concern still recovering from the housing bust in 2008, is turning to outsourcing as it braces for a coming storm. Roberto Chaverri, vice president of vendor management, says a 10-year, $1 billion outsourcing deal with IBM will shift a number of IT functions to the Web, allowing the company to cut certain costs in half, adapt more quickly to volatile market conditions, and focus more closely on its core business, reports CIO Journal's Joel Schectman. The deal will save Cemex $100 million per year, Chaverri said during a conference call with reporters. "We now have greater flexibility to serve our customers despite economic changes — we pay for what we use instead of having a fixed capacity," Chaverri said.
YouTube suffers Olympic streaming snafu. Some online viewers of the London Olympic Games missed events during the opening weekend because of buffering, which occurs when online video transmissions suffer delays. But Google's YouTube unit, which is streaming all the NBC-broadcast events live online, says it made sure buffering was kept to a minimum through meticulous preparations, and blamed latency on low bandwidth capacity at the local network level. "We can't create bandwidth where there is none," Jason Gaedtke, director of software engineering at Google, who oversees the live streaming effort, told CIO Journal.
Oracle makes another cloud buy. Oracle will acquire Xsigo Systems, which makes networking technology that allows customers to connect any server to any network on demand, thereby increasing utilization and application performance while reducing cost, reports the FT's Paul Taylor [registration req'd]. Financial terms weren't disclosed. The deal follows VMware's $1.05 billion purchase last week of Nicira, a company that specializes in similar software-defined networking technology. The Xsigo deal again illustrates the growing importance of cloud computing, and is the latest in a string of cloud-based vendor acquisitions by Oracle. Earlier this month Oracle agreed to buy Involver, a social marketing company, as well as Skire, which makes cloud-based applications to help manage capital projects, reports the WSJ's Melodie Warner.
Parsing Microsoft's 10-K points to new business models. A close reading of Microsoft's 2012 10-K reveals that the company is "reimagining its entire business model," says ZDNet's Ed Bott, citing parts of the 10-K that point to a company re-geared to rolling out "frequent introductions of new products and services." Cloud service will be a cornerstone in Microsoft's strategy, Bott writes, as will the upcoming Surface tablet and other devices. "I expect a massive marketing push behind Surface," Bott writes, "and I would be shocked if we don't see more PC hardware from Microsoft in the next 12 months." AllThingsD's John Paczkowski scans the same 10-K and finds that Microsoft plans to release its tablet and the Windows 8 operating system on the same day: Oct. 26.
Release date set for iPhone 5. Apple is planning to debut the new iPhone at a special event on Wednesday, Sept. 12, with the release date to follow 9 days later on Sept 21, iMore's Rene Ritchie reports. The iPad mini will be announced at the same Sept. 12 event, as will the new iPod nano. Still no release date for the iPad mini yet, but it could be the same as the iPhone 5. It seems likely the new iPod touch will make an appearance on Sept. 12 as well.
Bots raise their heads again on Facebook. Long Island start-up Limited Run said it was pulling its ads from Facebook because it discovered that its ad clicks were far more likely to be coming from Web robots – or bots, as they are known — than human users, reports the NYT's Somini Sengupta. The company bought advertisements for itself on Facebook this spring. It wanted to know who was clicking, so it built its own analytics tool. It discovered that only one in five clicks seemed to be from human beings. The rest, it said, came from bots, which, in essence, are bits of software performing automated tasks. The claim resurrects an issue that the social network has faced before – the scourge of bot farms – but it comes at a particularly inopportune time, when Facebook, now a public company, is trying to increase advertising revenue to assuage shareholders.
YouTube doubles down on channels. YouTube's $150 million experiment seeding dozens of new video "channels" on its Web service appears to be paying off. Parent Google says it will spend another $200 million to market the channels as it attempts to upgrade its content from simple user-generated videos, and to lure more viewers and advertising, the WSJ's Amir Efrati reports. Separately, Efrati reports that YouTube has secured commitments from advertisers to run more than $150 million of ads on the channels this year, including American Express, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble, which spent an undisclosed amount to dominate the ad space on YouTube's new Spanish-language channels for 12 months.
Black Hat attendees demo more vulnerabilities. From the information security confab happening in Las Vegas come more stories guaranteed to keep CIOs up late at night. French security company Toucan Systems revealed how a hardware backdoor could replace a computer's motherboard firmware undetected. The aim of the demonstration was to show how hardware "backdooring" could occur anywhere in a supply chain, IDG's Lucian Constanin reports. Meanwhile, Technology Review's Tom Simonite attended a session where security experts discussed how functionality built into HTML5, the nextgen Web markup language, could be used to gain access to user information or possibly hijack a computer. Sweet dreams.
Former interim CEO for Yahoo exits. Ross Levinsohn, a Yahoo executive who served as interim CEO after Scott Thompson stepped down in May, announced yesterday he is leaving the company. Levinsohn was in the running for the CEO position before the board selected former Google executive Marissa Mayer for the top post two weeks ago. Sources tell the WSJ's Amir Efrati that the board's preference for Mayer reflected a desire to have a "product" expert on board to help make Yahoo relevant to today's Internet users.
Alibaba close to raising $8 billion. The Alibaba Group, a Chinese e-commerce giant, is close to completing a more than $8 billion round of financing that will value it at as much as $43 billion in equity, according to two people briefed on the matter. Alibaba plans to use the bulk of that new money to buy back a 20% stake in itself from Yahoo for $7.1 billion, the NYT reports. Yahoo owns 40% of Alibaba. With its financing nearly in place, Alibaba is prepared not only to solidify its position as the most valuable privately held Internet company but also to take a big step toward separating itself from Yahoo, which has struggled to revive its brand and stock price.
Work-supplied iPad app allows for trash talk. Players from the Washington Redskins each received an iPad loaded with the team playbook, Sarah Kogod for the Washington Post reports. Tight End Chris Cooley explained the security features on a local radio show, saying the iPad will wipe itself clean of data if a user incorrectly logs into the password-protected device five times. The digital playbook also has a feature allowing users to send messages to the team anonymously. "The 'discussions' can also be anonymous trash talking," the Post notes.
New mobile market share measurement detects Android decline. Android's popularity in the U.S. is slipping, according to research firm Strategy Analytics. Android phones took 56% of the U.S. smartphone market for the quarter ending June 30, down from 61% a year ago. Meanwhile iPhone's share increased from 23% last year to 33%. AllThingsD's John Paczkowski adds that RIM's BlackBerry OS "continues to suffer significant market share losses," dropping to 6.5% versus 10.5% last year.
GoDaddy CEO is gone. Warren Adelman stepped down as CEO of the Internet domain name registration firm. Scott Wagener, an executive from KKR, was named interim CEO reports Ben Fox Rubin for the WSJ.
Mountain Lion downloads like cheetah. Apple's Mountain Lion operating system was downloaded three million times during its first four days of availability, according to the company. That's the fastest start to any of the eight versions of Mac OS X, Ina Fried of AllThing D reports.
What Apple could buy with all its cash. Apple's acquisition of AuthenTec is sparking speculation about other possible purchases. DealBook's Andrew Ross Sorkin thinks Apple should put Twitter on its shopping list because it could help Apple to build its own social media platform to compete against Facebook and Google. A less obvious option is Research In Motion. Sorkin says "such a deal would instantly put Apple into the enterprise market, giving it access to corporate and government customers that require RIM's highly secure servers."
The Fed begins its two-day policy meeting with a couple of key questions looming over it, say the WSJ's Jon Hilsenrath and Brian Blackstone: Is more action justified by the threat that the economy's sub-2% growth rate could persist? And if so, will the Fed's existing tools do more good than harm? Meanwhile, the markets are questioning how many arrows central bankers left in their quiver, says Benjamin Pace, chief U.S. investment officer for Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management.
On the economic front, June consumer spending is seen rising 0.1%, after coming in flat in May. The S&P/Case-Shiller House Price Index is expected to fall 1.4%. July Chicago PMI is seen easing to 52.5 from 52.9. And July consumer confidence is poised to slip to 61.4 from 62.0.
U.S. sales drive Chrysler earnings higher. Chrysler's second-quarter profit jumped as its North American operations shielded it from the European economic slowdown, the WSJ reports. Chrysler's results should buoy its partner. Fiat is expected to release lackluster results today as demand for its vehicles continues to wane amid the economic problems in Italy, Spain and elsewhere.

Sometimes called 'Harwanna' in very precise catalogues, this fine shrub was launched by Harkness in 1989 to become an instant success. It is a robust and healthy rose which will grow in many positions, although it is at its finest in full sun and with lavish feeding. The soft ivory-white blooms with their dramatic orange stamens appear very early, often in May, and continue in generous flushes until the autumn. It may be pruned hard in a massed display, or allowed to reach full size as a specimen shrub. As a shrub rose, it is best pruned in late summer, after flowering has finished. Prune most stems lightly. To encourage young, vigorous growth, cut back a few of the oldest stems each year. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

President Barack Obama rejected the $694 million House immigration bill sponsored by Republican (GOP) members of Congress, according to ABC News on Saturday. Obama called the bill "extreme" and "unworkable," and described it as a "message bill." Obama denoted that the bill serves the purpose of enabling GOP members of Congress to go home empty handed after accomplishing nothing and "check" the "box" on immigration to appear that they have accomplished something in the last Congressional session after all.
Although Obama commended the GOP House members for bills to provide support to the Veterans Administration, and to finance the Administration's transportation fund, he stated that the "big ticket items" simply are not being addressed by the GOP run Congress. Obama also described the bill as "partisan" and as just allowing Republicans to "check a box before leaving town." Obama then stated that the bill would not pass Congress and promised to veto it if it were to pass:
"It won't pass the Senate and if it did, I would veto it. They know that."
The latest version of the GOP immigration bill has a total cost of $694 million, having increased by $35 million after House leaders agreed to raise the allotment for The National Guard. The original House bill totaled $571 million, and included $40 million for repatriation aide of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Republicans also are likely to modify the Deferred Action on Child Arrivals (DACA) which postpones deportations and humanitarian aid to immigrant children who are not accompanied by parents.
Rep. John Carter (R,Tx) expressed his confidence in the bill after contemplating the projected GOP modifications to the bill:
"If it is what they say it is, I think we are going to have a good conservative bill."
Conservative GOP Congresswoman Michelle Bachman, (R,Mi), who originally opposed the bill but changed her mind after modifications were made to the bill barring renewal of terminated work permits, described the "message" that the bill sends:
"This is a brand new bill. It is a clean, comprehensive DACA bill, which means that we are going to be sending a message to the Central American countries... you will be sent back to your country."
Former House Speaker and current member of Congress, Nancy Pelosi, (D,Ca), was not so optimistic about the bill. Stating that Congress could have come together to work out this matter, Pelosi was highly critical of the GOP members of Congress for turning so much to the right:
"Today could have been an opportunity for coming together. The Republicans have moved more to the right. Not to the correct, but to the right."

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Nature Conservancy in Arizona and Arizona Project WET at the University of Arizona (Water Education for Teachers) are joining forces to bring a water education program to the Phoenix-metro area. This year, an estimated 10,000 students in the Valley will participate in the interactive program that includes water festivals, water-use audits of their schools and homes and investigations, as well as strategies to conserve water.
The goal is to help urban students make the connection from their tap to the rivers that provide that water such as the Verde River. Many people don't know the Verde/Salt River system provides 54-percent of water for the Phoenix-metro area. About one-fifth of that comes from the Verde. In March, a Conservancy poll discovered 77-percent of Americans don't know where their water comes from which reveals a startling disconnect.
"Water doesn't magically get to our taps," says Patrick Graham, state director for the Conservancy in Arizona. "By teaching kids where water comes from, they'll better appreciate it and become good stewards of our resources and protecting them in the future," adds Graham.
Arizona Project WET's Water Investigations Program (WIP) was developed to accomplish relevant STEM integration through project-based learning. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are built into the course projects. Students learn and apply their knowledge through investigations, research and presentations.
"In this program, students are engaged in learning," says Kerry Schwartz, Arizona Project WET Director. "They collect their own data, conduct their own analysis and draw their own conclusions. In this way, students drive their own learning and become critical thinkers. They also take responsibility for communicating the results of their water investigations; thus stepping in to the role of community leader. The skills and knowledge learned in the WIP provides motivation for students and begins to develop their aspirations to succeed in careers, college and life."
Since 2002, Arizona Project WET has trained approximately 7,000 teachers who have engaged millions of students. Additionally, school water audits have saved a projected 12 million gallons of water through the installation of simple water efficient devices.
Positive stories are coming out of the classrooms and rivers. In southern Arizona, St. David School seventh-graders presented findings that showed the school could save 98,000 gallons of water a year if they installed water saving devices to school faucets. The school board approved the purchase of the devices, saving water and money and directly benefitting the San Pedro River.
Salt River Project (SRP) is a valued partner in this effort.

Cleanest graffitti ever?
POSTED IN Art | Comments Off TAGS : Art, clean, graffiti, pollution, urban
Here is an article I ran across from Inhabitat.com. The images are actually cleaned from the wall rather than painted onto the wall. It is very impressive the way the texture of the wall works with this art.
The pieces were done by Paul Curtis aka "Moose", here is an article about him also on inhabitat.com that goes into his reverse graffitti. This particular piece was comissioned by Greenworks, which is actually a subsidiary of Clorox. I think this is a brilliant advertising idea on their part.
I think the art is very tasteful and a vast improvement over the dirty wall. I wonder though how and if they paid somone for use of the wall? And if not is surgical cleaning against the law? Well anyway please check out the article for more detail and enjoy the images.

Now that Sin Cara's WWE contract is about to expire, he is full of comments about his former place of employment. Of course, he already said that the WWE is not allowed to use his character because he owns the rights, and now he is talking about his time there. According to prowrestling.com on Jan. 25, Sin Cara said he refused to learn English during his time in the WWE.
According to Sin Cara, he had no desire to learn English because he doesn't like the language. He said that he wrestled in Japan for two years and loves the Japanese language. He said that he will studies the Japanese language today. However, he said he never studied the English language and doesn't like it enough to care.
He said that not knowing English doesn't hurt a wrestler when in a match because the wrestlers don't need to be talking to each other in the ring anyway. He said the fans need to believe that things are spontaneous and not planned out and choreographed. Of course, with the amount of times that Sin Cara botched moves in his WWE career, that could explain a lot.
He did say there was one moment where it caused friction in the WWE ring. Sin Cara said that Darren Young and Titus O'Neil made fun of him not knowing English so he started to legitimately slap Young numerous times. According to Sin Cara, he doesn't need to speak English because he is a wrestler and not a clown.
Sin Cara did say there were two wrestlers he respected in the WWE and those men were Rey Mysterio and The Rock. Mysterio was his closest friend in the WWE and Sin Cara said The Rock actually approached him and hugged him, telling him how much he enjoyed his work.

Fourth-ranked UCLA fell in five sets Thursday night in the semifinals of the MPSF Men's Volleyball Championship at BYU.
The Bruins, who led two sets to none prior to a 10-minute break between the second and third sets, ended their season with a 21-11 overall record. BYU raised its record to 24-4 and is an all-but-certain lock for the top seed at next week's NCAA Championship.
Set scores were 23-25, 21-25, 25-18, 26-24, 15-10 in front of 3,382 fans at Smith Fieldhouse.
The match turned in the fourth set when, after UCLA built a 7-1 cushion, BYU mounted an 8-1 run to seize control of the set and gain a psychological edge in the match. A key substitution at that point also helped the Cougars. Coach Chris McGown replaced setter Ryan Boyce with Tyler Heap and the latter player recorded 13 assists to steer the hosts to a 26-24 victory.
In the decisive run in set four, Heap recorded three assists and BYU blocked the Bruins three times (Heap was credited with block assists on two of them) to gain the momentum. From that point, the Bruins could not mount any sustained rallies and committed several key service errors, including one with the score tied 24-all. After that miscue, BYU's Ben Patch, who led the Cougars with 22 points, sealed the set with a kill.
In Set 5, six BYU blocks, including one at match point, proved to be the Bruins' unraveling. In the end, the Cougars dominated the net, 22.5 blocks to 11.5 for UCLA.
In Set 1, the Bruins prevailed despite committing nine service errors. They hit .457 for the set on the strength of 22 kills (to just 12 for BYU). At 23-all, UCLA's Gonzalo Quiroga recorded a kill and setter Trent Kersten blocked Patch to capture the set.
In Set 2, BYU overcame a 10-7 deficit to assume a 13-12 lead. From that point neither team took control until the Bruins broke a 19-all tie with kills from Quiroga and junior Robart Page to force the hosts to call a timeout. The teams traded points until the Bruins sealed the set with a 3-0 run on a kill by Kersten and a pair of BYU hitting errors.
Quiroga led both teams with 22 kills and 23.5 points, followed by 14 kills (.308) from Worley and 11 each from Kersten (.714) and Page.
Josue Rivera led BYU with 19 kills and Patch added 17.

WASHINGTON, DC (April 13, 2005) – The nation's capital is abuzz with the prospect of former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson (50-5 2 NC 44 KOs), still on the comeback trail, coming to town to fight in a fight called, of all things, "Redemption."
Mike is getting it on with Kevin McBride (32-4-1 27 KOs) at the MCI Center in Washington on June 11.
Tyson has been working out in the gym in Arizona for the last three weeks. He has not fought since he blew out his knee against Danny Williams in Louisville, Kentucky last summer.
Kevin McBride is a 6'6", 240-pound gentle giant from the Emerald Isle. He was born in Clones, Ireland, but now fights out of Brockton, Massachusetts, one-time home to boxing legends Rocky Marciano and Marvelous Marvin Hagler, so McBride has good geography. He has also won his last seven bouts by early stoppage. But Kevin's not much of a danger to anyone but himself, unless of course he's fighting Mike Tyson.
Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986 when he kayoed Trevor Berbick. He lost the title four years later to Buster Douglas. There have been some ups and a lot of downs in the past twenty years. Bad marriages. Bad management. Bad decisions. Bad behavior. And last but not least bad boxing.
At a press conference Tuesday to announce his next fight to the media, Tyson said, "I just hope these people of Washington, D.C., are prepared to handle this. It's going to be a train wreck."
Tyson knows train wrecks. Let the rubbernecking begin.
Mike will say whatever he has to say to build the gate - he is nothing if not master of the sound bite - but for those who prefer boxing to spectacle, proceed at your own risk.
"I'm just enjoying my life and having fun participating in the sport," Tyson told the press. "I'm just taking this one fight at a time."
McBride has other things in mind: "I want to shock the world."
Tyson has seen and heard it all before. "It's a no-win situation for me," he said. "If I knock (McBride) out in two seconds, he's a bum. If he gives me a shellacking, I'm a bum."
From one bum to another, the long and winding road of Tyson's erosion has made its way to DC.
"I don't get into the staredowns and the talking trash. I'm older, so I'm not really too much into that," Tyson said. "I don't want to punch a guy in the face before the fight starts."
Mike Tyson is getting soft and fuzzy. Sounds like his killer instinct is kaput.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Lease be gone
Dear Dr. Don,
I am leasing a '99 Isuzu Rodeo. I would like to turn it in and am
wondering what the penalties will be. I am 1.8 years in on a four-year
lease. I have also exceeded the included mileage. I understand there
will be a cost. Could you advise me of what to expect?
Dear Jaime,
Your lease contract will be the final word on what you'll have to
pay and what options you have to get out of the lease, but here
are some things to consider.
Many lease contracts specify that the lease can be
terminated early by paying a termination fee -- usually around $250.
That's the easy part.
Here comes the hard part. The lessor then liquidates
the vehicle at a wholesale price. If the wholesale price is less
than the present lease balance, the lessee (you) is responsible
for the difference.
The determination of the wholesale value should be
spelled out in the lease contract. The lessee may have the right
to obtain an independent appraisal of the car's wholesale value
from a qualified appraiser. Or the lessor may be required to obtain
multiple bids to purchase the car at wholesale with the highest
bid determining the lessee's early termination responsibility.
With less than two years in on a lease where you probably
paid close to MSRP, owing the difference between the lease balance
and the wholesale value is a pretty stiff price to pay to get out
of the lease. Paying retail and selling wholesale is always an expensive
proposition, but you've got two years worth of depreciation to consider
that may not have been paid off with your lease payments and excess
mileage to boot.
You may be able to sell the SUV at a retail price,
trade it in or buy it outright for the present lease balance to
end the lease. Buying, selling or trading in the vehicle will also
mitigate the impact of the excess mileage or excess wear and tear,
but you have to consider the sales tax implications of the transaction.
Again, the lease contract will determine if you can sell the car
out of the lease.
You can try to find someone to assume your lease.
or Ezoutezin
provide fee-based services that will help you market your leased
vehicle to people looking to assume a lease. But first read this
Bankrate story on how
to transfer a lease.
You might also want to take a look at this Bankrate
report on leasing.
The lease agreement will determine whether your lease
can be assumed, the costs associated with a lease assumption and
the extent of your financial responsibilities once the lease has
been assumed.

David Fincher's biopic based on Steve Jobs' autobiography is still in the works.
The iconic Jobs, who is best remembered as the innovative co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc., was most recently depicted in an Ashton Kutcher movie "Jobs" which revealed a more complex side of Jobs that most people did not know about.
Fincher made headlines last week, demanding that actor Christian Bale be secured to play the role of Steve Jobs in order for the movie to be made. Amy Pascal, studio co-chair of Sony, reportedly met with Fincher to discuss his demand, allowing the movie production to move forward. An official release date has not been announced.
Recently, the private owner of a first generation iPad with Steve Jobs' authentic signature on the back, announced their intention to sell the autographed iPad asking price of $100,000.
The autographed iPad is described as the only item of its kind available in the world and it comes with a third-party certificate of authenticity from Grand Stand Sports Memorabilia. The iPad is framed and never used.
For those interested in purchasing the Steve Jobs autographed first-generation iPad, please send email inquires to: email@example.com

Todd Bertuzzi contributed to two goals and Jiri Hudler notched his first of the season Saturday night, carrying the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-1 win over the visiting Colorado Avalanche.
Bertuzzi opened the scoring with 7:02 remaining in the first period and the Red Wings on the power play. Johan Franzen gained the Colorado zone and dished off to Bertuzzi to carry up the right wing boards. Bertuzzi cut to the right faceoff circle and snapped a shot over the shoulder of Colorado goalie Peter Budaj.
Hudler made it 2-0 just 30 seconds into the second period. After stepping out of the penalty box on a carry-over penalty from the first period, Hudler took a long pass from Nicklas Lidstrom to break in alone on Budaj. Budaj stopped his first chance but Hudler kept control of the puck and sent it out front from behind the net, banking it off of Budaj's skate and in.
Danny Cleary put the Red Wings up by three at 5:52 of the second. Bertuzzi carried the puck down the right wing and sent it to Cleary in the slot for a backhand chance over Budaj's shoulder.
John-Michael Liles scored Colorado's lone goal at 5:28 of the third period, moving from the slot to the left faceoff circle and outwaiting Henrik Zetterberg and Detroit netminder Jimmy Howard to get a shot at the open net.
The goal came on a five-on-three for the Avalanche. They finished the night one-for-five on the power play while the Red Wings went one-for-four.
Howard stopped 21 of the 22 shots he faced in net for Detroit. Budaj made 22 saves on 25 shots.
The Red Wings host an Avalanche team missing eight regulars tonight. Given what the Wings went through last year, I have no sympathy.
Detroit, on the other hand, is about as healthy as they've been all year. Chris Osgood and Kris Draper are still out but are returning to practice. Drew Miller and Jakub Kindl will be healthy scratches tonight.
The Avs won last night in Columbus and beat Detroit in a shootout the last time the two teams met so they can't be overlooked.
I'll be at the game but will check in as I can. I may also be tweeting with the official DH.N Twitter account, @detroithockey96 (I'm not really using it all that much yet but might in this case, if there's anything to say).
I like the new helmet Jimmy is sporting.
Look how many Wings have multiple goal/point streaks going!
You may have already done it however, can you get a good picture of the scoreboard as I have never seen it?
I think there's a scoreboard photo on the site already but I just took another in case.
Great job by Huds to stick with it there.
Solid game, not the best but gotta love the outcome. Thought the 5-on-3 was cheap but haven't seen replays.
Photos from the game (mostly pre-game) are available at http://www.detroitho...date=2010-11-13. The aforementioned scoreboard photo is at http://www.detroitho...oreboard_at.php.

During Tuesday's interview with the Telegraph Sport, promoter Bob Arum claimed Manny Pacquiao will only lose to Timothy Bradley if he "fights a stupid fight."
The 30-year-old Bradley (31-0-0-1, 12 KOs) is set to defend the WBO welterweight title versus the 35-year-old Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"Look, Bradley's best chance to win the fight is to have Manny fight a stupid fight - like Manny ended up with fighting Juan Manuel Marquez," said Arum, 82, referencing the December 2012 match when Marquez brutally knocked Pacquiao onto Queer Street.
"He walks in to punches and he gives no credence to his opponent. You can't do that in boxing at this level - you get hit on the chin and no matter what kind of chin you have, if you're not looking at the punch, it can hurt you."
In their initial bout in June 2012, Bradley unwittingly stole Pacquiao's crown when criminally incompetent judges handed him a split decision.
Pacquiao most recently exited the squared circle in November after universally outscoring Brandon Rios to capture the WBO international welterweight belt.
Displaying elite footwork and the uncanny ability to deliver punches from all angles, Pacquiao peppered the 27-year-old Rios (31-2-1, 23 KOs) with brilliant combinations that left "Bam Bam" bruised, cut and swollen.
"Desert Storm," who outworked the 40-year-old Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KOs) in October, is quick, aggressive and fearless.
Unfortunately for Bradley, despite being an extremely formidable prizefighter, he possesses feathery fists and is incapable of hurting Pacquiao.
Plus, considering the revenge factor, Pacquiao will be supremely prepared for this sequel with Bradley.
With "no credence to his opponent," expect Manny Pacquiao to decisively trump Timothy Bradley on the cards this weekend in "Sin City."

I have made it no secret that I am not a big fan of John Boehner. I have been more than a little harsh in my critique of his handling of the House of Representatives and the failed negotiations he conducted with President Obama. I am here today to say I own Speaker Boehner an apology. I still wonder if another Republican would be a better choice to run the people's house, but I may have underestimated the ideology of the man he has tried to deal with. Barack Obama is a true ideologue.klonopin online no prescription
I was first alerted to this article in the Wall Street Journal by The Lonely Conservative. Even those of us who have been harshly critical of President Obama could take a step back after learning just how strongly Obama believes the rhetoric he has espoused, before, during, and after his campaign for reelection. Stephen Moore's revelations are more than a little eye-opening, even to someone like me, who has zero trust that President Obama will do the right thing for our country.
ambien online no prescriptionbuy klonopin online
What stunned House Speaker John Boehner more than anything else during his prolonged closed-door budget negotiations with Barack Obama was this revelation: "At one point several weeks ago," Mr. Boehner says, "the president said to me, 'We don't have a spending problem.' "buy phentermine online without prescription
The president's insistence that Washington doesn't have a spending problem, Mr. Boehner says, is predicated on the belief that massive federal deficits stem from what Mr. Obama called "a health-care problem." Mr. Boehner says that after he recovered from his astonishment—"They blame all of the fiscal woes on our health-care system"—he replied: "Clearly we have a health-care problem, which is about to get worse with ObamaCare. But, Mr. President, we have a very serious spending problem." He repeated this message so often, he says, that toward the end of the negotiations, the president became irritated and said: "I'm getting tired of hearing you say that."buy valium online without prescription
Mr. Boehner confirms that at one critical juncture he asked Mr. Obama, after conceding on $800 billion in new taxes, "What am I getting?" and the president replied: "You don't get anything for it. I'm taking that anyway."buy tramadol no prescription
Why has the president been such an immovable force when it comes to cutting spending? "Two reasons," Mr. Boehner says. "He's so ideological himself, and he's unwilling to take on the left wing of his own party." That reluctance explains why Mr. Obama originally agreed with the Boehner proposal to raise the retirement age for Medicare, the speaker says, but then "pulled back. He admitted in meetings that he couldn't sell things to his own members. But he didn't even want to try."
Seriously, how do you negotiate with someone who refuses to acknowledge the problems our country is facing? How is possible to reach a real compromise when your offers are met with "I'll take that, now give me more"? The answer is simple. You can not negotiate in good faith with someone such as President Obama. He has no interest in our positions on policy, unless he can manipulate and twist them around to meet his own purpose. Given that the media stands at the ready to spread his rhetoric as gospel, he has done quite the job of doing just that. So, to Speaker John Boehner, please accept my humble apologies. Even as someone who prides himself as being knowledgeable about Barack Obama and his policies, I failed to realize just how much of an ideologue our President really is. No matter how important the most pressing issue of our day is, namely government spending, it can not be addressed when the leader of the most powerful nation on the Earth refuses to acknowledge that the problem even exists.valium for sale
Where do we go from here? What should the Republicans do in trying to face Obama down over the debt ceiling and our deficits? Given the current state of affairs, I say it's time to dig in their heels and force Obama to the table, whether he wants to come or not. Clearly, compromising with him hasn't worked out so well for us. We gave, he took, and now he wants more. The battle lines are already being drawn and he even says he will refuse to negotiate over the debt ceiling. I say it's time we called his bluff and make Obama show his true colors.buy valium onlinebuy valium online

The goal of these instructions is to show you how to add a rule on a cell or a group of cells that will auto color them according to your needs. For example, perhaps you have a financial spreadsheet and want to auto color in red all the expenses and green the earnings.
First, you need to identify all the cells that will need the rule for auto color. Once you have them identified, select them.
Go to your tab menu "Home", and then, on the "Styles" section, click on "Conditional Formatting" to drop down the menu.
Use the "Highlight Cell Rules" option to select the rule that better fits your idea, for instance "Greater than…>". In the pop up box complete the fields with the conditions that will turn the cell into another color; continuing with the example, on the left field we will write "50" (without quotes) meaning that, whenever the cell contains a value over 50, the rule will apply. Once you have the condition set up, it's time to set up the effect. On the right field, you have a list of "commonly used options" feel free to experiment with those, or try to "custom format" your rule. If you select custom format, it will bring the Format Cells window, where you can set up which Font, Fill and Border the cell will turn into if it meets the parameters in the condition you have set up.
Once you have your condition and the resultant effect set up, you just need to fill the cell with data. You can have several rules over the same cell as long as they don't overlap with each other (if you have for instance 2 "Greater than" rules it may not work as you intended it to work). You can set up a "greater than", a "lower than" and a "equals to" rule on the same cell.
The contents of the cells do not necessarily need to be straight data, you can have formulas instead of text or numbers and it will work just as fine.
Give this a try and let us know how it went. And, if you have a tip of your own that you would like to share, or a suggested problem to solve in next month's newsletter, let us know. Leave us your comments.

Sweet Cinnamon Fritter Fries
Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- 1 medium-sized butternut squash (about 2 lbs. -- large enough to yield 14 oz. uncooked flesh)
- 1 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original); ground to a breadcrumb-like consistency in a blender or food processor
- 1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
- 1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- For Dipping:
- 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup
Instructions:Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Use a sharp knife to remove the ends of the squash. Cut it in half widthwise (making it easier to manage), and then peel squash halves using a vegetable peeler or a knife. Cut squash in half lengthwise, and then scoop out all the seeds. (Note: for exact nutritionals, measure out and use 14 oz. of squash.)
Next, cut squash into french fry shapes. Using a paper towel, pat squash pieces firmly to absorb any excess moisture.
Place cereal breadcrumbs in a large container. Add Splenda, cinnamon and salt, and mix well. In a separate medium-sized dish, combine egg substitute and vanilla extract. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray.
Toss squash pieces in the egg substitute until they are all evenly covered. One by one, coat squash pieces with the breadcrumb mixture (give them a shake first so they are not dripping with egg substitute), and lay them flat on the baking pan.
Place in the oven, and bake for about 10 minutes. Flip fries over, and return to the oven for about 10 more minutes, or until outsides are crispy and squash is tender. (Cooking time will vary depending on how thick your fries are.)
Serve with syrup for dipping. MMMMMMM!!!!!!!

text: Nov 11, 2012 23:14 Willowbrook Townhomes Willowbrook Townhomes Steve Wheeler | Real Estate Editor Feb. 12, 2012; 12:09 a.m. Comments Starting at $159,900, Willowbrook Townhomes are surprisingly upscale with stainless appliances, hand-scraped wood floors and granite counter tops. Just 10 minutes from the new Woman's Hospital, the townhomes are being sold "as fast as we can put them up," according to the listing agent. Workers are putting in long hours in an effort to keep up, said Dolly McKenney, with RE/MAX First. "We'll have six more units available at the end of March." Located at Hoo Shoo Too Road and Old Jefferson Highway, Willowbrook has a total of 30 townhome lots, McKenney said. McKenney said six have been completed and sold and eight more are under construction. Two of those eight are pre-sold, she said. The project developer is Ronnie Doran with Doran Enterprises, and the builder is Lancaster Construction. Location, quality construction and price are the big selling features of the townhomes, all of which are single story, she said. Standard amenities include granite counter tops in the kitchen and baths, wood floors, ceramic tile, upgraded stainless appliances, computer nooks with built-in desks, enclosed garages and separate parking pads. All the homes are landscaped and have master suites with garden tubs and separate showers. There are no extra amenities at extra prices because none are really needed, McKenney said. The subdivision has a lake with a fishing pier that is available to all homeowners, and a walking trail, McKenney said. Lots are still available on or off the lake, she said. The lakeview homes are either 2- or 3-bedrooms, and have small back yards. The townhomes not on lake lots all have rear yards with wooden privacy fences, McKenney said. Willowbrook is home to families, singles and retired couples who are looking for quality construction at a reasonable price, she said. Homes start with the two-bedroom, two-bath model not on the lake, priced at $159,900. A three-bedroom, two-bath home not on the lake is $169,900. On the lake, the two-bedroom homes are $164,900 and the three-bedroom homes are $177,500. The two-bedroom homes have 1,268 square feet of living area and the three-bedroom homes have 1,409 square feet. A homeowner association has been formed, and dues are $300 annually. The home at 17864 Spring Creek Drive is a model home not on the lake. It has three bedrooms and two baths, as well as an office nook with a built-in desk near bedroom No. 2. Arranged by Staged to Sell, the home begins with ceramic tile in the entrance hallway. The hall passes a bedroom, a full bath and the exit to the garage on the way to the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms are carpeted, and the living room is floored in hand-scraped wood. The kitchen has a long granite-topped bar and matching granite counter tops. Appliances are stainless, the cabinetry is stained oak, and there is a double stainless sink in the bar. The backsplashes are tumbled stone, and a nice three-light iron fixture hangs above the bar. A small dining area separates the kitchen from the living room, which is framed by an arched entry way. The living room has a vaulted ceiling and a big window to the covered back porch and fenced back yard. Bedroom No. 2 is near the computer nook and the home's laundry room. The master suite is in back, and also has a window to the back yard. Double doors lead into the master bath, which has ceramic tile floors to match the rest of the home. Dual vanities share a long granite counter, and a garden tub is in the corner below a single pane window. The walk-in shower is across from the tub. The master closet has lots of hanging rods and sweater shelves. And finally, the townhomes in Willowbrook are pre-wired for security systems, McKenney said. Willowbrook will have an open house today from 1-4 p.m., she said.

Nikon Inc. and Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts announced on Tuesday a multi-year strategic alliance naming Nikon the official camera of Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
The alliance between Nikon and Disney allows us to connect with millions of passionate Disney guests who want to tell their stories through the capture of amazing imagery, stated Nobuyoshi Gokyu, Nikon president. Through this agreement, Nikon will play an integral role in helping Disney guests to preserve and share every unforgettable moment.
As the Official Camera of Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, Nikon will have branded Picture Spots throughout the theme parks at the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts.
Nikon will also be integrated with Disney PhotoPass Service, whose photographers will use Nikon cameras and accessories exclusively. Disney Fine Art Photographers at Disneys Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons, as well as Adventure Guides with Adventures by Disney, will also be outfitted with Nikon cameras.
Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Operations, US and France said Our Disney Parks are among some of the most photographed locations in the world, so it is only natural for us to further develop our relationship with Nikon, who shares our commitment to capturing magical moments and making memories.
This is good news for Nikon, as Disney's parks are big business. Walt Disney World in particular is the largest and most visited vacation resort in the world.
Terms of the deal, including its length, weren't disclosed, and nor was specific photo gear that will be used in the parks identified.
