I have had RA for about eight years. My elbows were the first joints affected and are now my worst, in spite of treatment with each of the biologicals and several DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs). I recently had an ulnar nerve transposition in one elbow and the other one became excruciatingly painful from taking over while the post-surgical one was in a splint. My surgeon X-rayed it and said the joint space and cartilage are mostly gone and it's bone on bone now. As I am fairly young and active, a joint replacement would not be practical at this time but he is suggesting an arthroscopic surgery and synovectomy to relieve pain and possibly improve function in the joint. My rheumatologist doesn't believe it will help me at all. However, I feel as if I have nothing to lose. Even temporary relief would be a plus at this point. How do I make the decision whether to proceed with surgery or not?
The elbow synovectomy — surgical removal of the diseased joint lining — may help with the pain for some time but is less likely to help with the joint range of motion. If the joint space is indeed destroyed, you will likely still need an elbow replacement in the future.
The issue of when to proceed with joint replacement is a complicated one and depends on multiple factors such as your age, other health conditions, range of motion and rehab potential and is a decision best made with input from both your surgeon and rheumatologist.

The pleasure of travelling with family or friends
"Intelligent" electric architecture for increased well-being
Multiplexing has become essential as a result of the spectacular progress made by electronics over the last decade in all aspects of vehicle design (mechanical parts, comfort, safety) and the need to share information between different systems.
All these extra functions play a major role in promoting the well-being, peace of mind and - hence - the overall safety of passengers.
To satisfy the growing need to communicate, the C8 features a full range of onboard telematics equipment.
This offering comprises an impressive list of functions that vary according to the level of equipment selected. They include an RDS radio, CD drive, GSM hands-free telephone, automatic and manual emergency call system, voice synthesis and recognition, a graphics screen or a large 175mm screen and an audio-video connector to watch a film when the car is stationary.
These functions are accessible from a telematics control unit in the form of a rosette, located in the centre of the dashboard.
Whatever their body shape and preferences, all drivers will be able to find their ideal driving position. By adjusting the seat and steering wheel, the driver can opt for a saloon- or MPV-type driving position, while maintaining the panoramic view of the road much loved by buyers of people-carriers.
The control unit provides excellent legibility in all circumstances since it is integral with the wheel. Placed in a highly ergonomic position on the dashboard, the gearlever "falls" easily to hand.
High-performance, economical engines with minimal environmental impact
All 2.0 and 2.2 HDi diesel engines fitted on the C8 feature the particulate filter (PF), a major breakthrough in environmental protection. This porous device traps the carbon particles in the exhaust gases. From time to time, the filter undergoes automatic regeneration, and the particles are burned. The PF gives the HDi engines an environmental advantage by doing away with virtually all particles and black fumes, whatever the driving conditions. The PF is part of a strategy to reduce pollutant emissions that goes far beyond the future environmental standards of the European Union, with no trade-off in driving pleasure.
This type of automatic transmission system is designed to meet drivers' needs by adapting to their individual driving styles while leaving them free to change gears manually. It brings significant benefits in terms of driving comfort and safety. Automatic transmission with sequential control is available with the 3.0i V6 engine and will soon be offered with the 2.0i 16V engine. These new transmissions can be switched to "manual" or "sequential" mode with a sequential control system, or automatic mode. In manual mode, the driver manages gear selection by pushing the gear lever forwards or backwards. In this way, he can adopt a sportier or more dynamic driving style. The gear currently selected is displayed on the control unit positioned on the steering wheel.
Today, more than ever, customers set great store by safety, and rightly so. The Citroën C8 satisfies this requirement in full, with respect to both its functions and its equipment. In all areas, it ranks among the best high-spec people-carriers.
The C8 must build on the image established by the Evasion/Synergie as a reference in terms of performance. To this end, the C8 is fitted with new reinforced front suspension for improved driving pleasure and easier handling in the city with a reduced turning circle. Moreover, the mechanical components have been sized to satisfy the most stringent impact standards. The main changes concern the wishbone joints, the broader track and the increased diameter of the anti-roll bar. The rear suspension is of a completely new design, with a flexible transverse beam and a larger anti-roll bar for impeccable handling.

Over the past few days, following the public launch of iOS 6.1 which brings LTE connectivity support to the Apple iPhone 5, I've been receiving numerous inquiries from my readers about how they could finally enjoy ultra-fast LTE speeds on their smartphone after installing the firmware upgrade.
Yesterday, I forwarded the top 8 questions that I got thus far from you guys to the PR departments of Apple's official network carriers in the Philippines, Globe Telecom and Smart Communications. Mr. Elijah Mendoza, Smart Communications' Senior Public Affairs Officer, immediately sent a reply answering all queries and as promised, allow me to share them with you.
1. Which subscribers can get LTE on their Smart iPhone 5 after installing iOS 6.1?
Currently, only Smart iPhone 5 [postpaid] subscribers that availed of Plans 999, 2499, 1500, 2000, and 3000 last Christmas can use LTE.
2. Will it be available to prepaid and other postpaid subscribers?
Yes, Prepaid and other Postpaid subscribers [will get it] soon. Will keep you posted.
3. Do they need to swap their current Nano SIM cards for an LTE SIM to get the connection?
[No need for] those mentioned in number 1. As for the rest, I'm not sure yet. Will advise once they have LTE.
4. Will it be a free upgrade?
[Mark of TP: For those mentioned in number 1, I believe it will be a free upgrade in the meantime.]
5. If not, up to when will it be free?
LTE on the Smart iPhone 5 is free and unlimited until April 30, 2013.
6. Can users across the Philippines enjoy LTE speeds?
We have LTE present in over 300 cell sites serving more than 770 establishments across 10 cities in Metro Manila, and also in Boracay, Cebu, and Davao.
7. If subscribers in number 1 want to keep the LTE speeds after the promo, how much will the new plan cost?
No details on this yet.
8. Up to what speeds can users expect to get from their new Smart iPhone 5 LTE phones?
Per our testing we are clocking in at around 25 to 35Mbps but the real test would be to use it on sites [requiring heavy data usage] such as Youtube or Dropbox.
There you go, TP Friends. Let me know if you have more questions by leaving a comment below. Will post Globe Telecom's answers to the similar questions in a bit.

Children's Toy + Date Rape Drug = Extremely Clickable Headline
In a move that shocked no one, China recalled another defective product this week. The twist this time is that the product was a children's toy called Aquadots, and the minor defect was that they are coated with the date rape drug.
Frankly, Im having trouble believing this wasn't intentional. Tiny pill-shaped pellets coated in roofies and sold to American children? We've either got a lot more to fear from the Chinese than we thought or a lot less, because their toy manufacturers are clearly either evil or retarded, and I wouldnt rule out both at this point.
But honestly, what were they thinking? Theres no market for this product. Do you know how easy it is to get a kid drunk? All you need is like a thimble of Glenlivvet, not some fancy toy-pill.
The worst/best part is that in their official apology, the manufacturers apologized for damaging the Made in China label during the Christmas season. THATS how devoted to industry the Chinese are.
Look, China, its fine if you drug my son. Hell, if I didnt break out the Nyquil now and again Id never get a full nights sleep. But at least apologize for doing it, and not for hurting your countrys GNP.
On the plus side, Aquadots are now selling for hundreds of dollars apiece on eBay to frat houses across the country.

The hot and arid months of summer are swiftly approaching in this part of the world, and even here where you may see snow on top of the mountains in the distance, you might be sweltering here in the city! Summer can be dangerous for several reasons. The suns rays can be damaging and even life threatening to everyone, let alone seniors and those of a very young age. High heat can also be a big health risk to those over the age of 50, as well as the dryness that usually comes along with it.
To stay healthy and fit this summer, you also need to stay safe! Working out outdoors or getting your physical activity in the park is all well and good, but you need to take care during the hot months of the year. You don't want to accidentally cause harm to yourself, especially not when you are trying to do well by going out and power walking or biking around your neighborhood.
Which SPF is the right one for me?
The higher the sun protective factor (SPF), the better. It's true that even though a bottle of sunscreen might say SPF 60 or more, there is no such thing as an SPF over 45. SPF 45 does well at blocking out 98% of the sun's rays, while SPF 15 blocks out about 94%. The SPF can be misleading, especially when it goes beyong 45 to ridiculous numbers like 90 and 100. These are just gimicks that hope to get you to pay more for a sunscreen that is the same as the lower numbers.
So grab a bottle of SPF 45 and slathering it on generously before going outside. Apply it every few hours after you've been sweating or swimming. Even "water proof" sunscreens will eventually wash away in the pool. Anyone who's ever been surprised by a rosey red sun burn after using "water proof" sunsreen will tell you.
Check the UV Index!
In the middle of summer, the UV index can be dangerous. Even if you wear sunscreen, you will need to stay in the shade as much as possible. Be sure to watch the weather on the local station so you can know if there is a UV index advisory going on. Limit your time outdoors, because days when the UV is high, the temperature is also likely through the roof. Go work out in an air conditioned gym, or take a walk through a shady park in the morning or evening when it cools down, and the sun's rays aren't as direct.
Stay Hydrated!
Hot days require that you drink a lot more water than usual. To make this easier, you should do this: the night before a hot day, fill a water bottle ¼ of the way with water and put it in the freezer. In the morning, take it out and fill it the rest of the way with water. It feels great pressed to your forehead, and you'll instantly have ice cold water on hand!

The top-ranked UCLA men's volleyball team outlasted No.2 Pepperdine, 3-2, Thursday night in a key MPSF match at Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins won 30-28, 30-28, 28-30, 25-30, 17-15 in two hours and 14 minutes before 934 in Pauley Pavilion.
UCLA raised its record to 10-1 overall, 5-0 in MPSF play. Pepperdine fell to 10-3, 5-1.
Junior Cameron Mount led the Bruins with 21 kills (.371), nine digs and two blocks. Senior Matt Komer added 18 kills (.361), 12 digs and two blocks and aces. Junior Scott Morrow spiked a season high of 15 kills (.429) and added four block assists. Libero Adam Shrader recorded a career high of 21 digs.
Freshman Sean Rooney led the Waves with a match-high 28 kills (.404), followed by junior Brad Keenan's 17 kills (.483) and team-high seven blocks.
In the deciding fifth game, the Bruins held an 11-9 lead, but Pepperdine tied the score at 11-11 on a controversial touch call off a kill by Rooney. The Bruins scored the next two points on a kill by Komer and a hitting error by the Waves' Fred Winters. After a Pepperdine timeout, the visitors tied it at 13-13 on two unforced errors by the Bruins. UCLA had match point at 14-13 and 15-14, before scoring two straight points on a kill by sophomore Chris Pena and Kennan's wide spike attempt.
The victory gives the Bruins sole possession of first place in the MPSF heading into Saturday's showdown with USC at Pauley Pavilion. First serve begins at 7 p.m.

On this Labor Day weekend we thought this would be a good time to explore the issue of jobs and working in California.
Last week we asked people what they would give up to restore the "California dream." Many of you gave us good ideas and we'll explore those later. But we noticed that one overriding concern for readers whenever they contact us – besides the impact of illegal immigration – was the economy, public employee compensation and how hard it is to be unemployed in the Golden State, where the unemployment rate is 12.3 percent.
One unemployed reader, Cheryl Mitchell of Westminster, spoke eloquently on the frustration of trying to find a job in a field where speaking more than one language is an asset and decried the lack of preparation for such a job market:
"In California especially we must come to terms with the reality that our jobs are slowly being taken away from us we need to get on board and include another mandatory language in our children's curriculum so that they will have the opportunity to live and work in California were they were born, raised and went to high school, college or vocational school or they will be out of a job in this wonderful state of California."
Many others wrote about the discrepancy in compensation between private sector and public employees:
"Most (public employees) make much more than ... double pay statistics compared to the private sector. For many it's ten to fifteen times private jobs."
– Name, city withheld
"The obscene benefits for state workers is a key problem. The state should declare bankruptcy and renegotiate all of them. State salaries should be brought in line with private industry salaries. The state workers should not have a defined benefits retirement but should have a 401K type contributory benefit with the employees contributing to their own retirement. The retirement benefit should be determined similar to what private industry is paying."
– Ron Schenkelberg, Anaheim
Finally, many believe the state's tax and regulatory requirements force jobs out of California making it harder to stay employed here:
"Stop imposing onerous taxes and regulatory policies on businesses ... these practices are forcing companies to leave California for "greener pastures." Fewer businesses mean fewer jobs. Lowering business tax rates will increase revenue in the long run by expanding the tax base, reducing unemployment, and increasing consumer spending."
– Ted Bilotta, Laguna Niguel
Now we have another question for you: How would you fix the job market in California? Take our poll.

I have a (crappy) home media server with an onboard NVIDIA MCP77 Gigabit LAN chip (under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid). This is connected to a Virgin Media SuperHub (VMDG480) which contains a gigabit switch via a 3M CAT6 cable. Previously I had an old Cat5e cable (cheap and presumably not good enough for gigabit) which was resulting in it auto-negotiating to 100mb. This was recently replaced by a decent quality Cat6 cable.
The SuperHub's LED for the port is green, indicating a gigabit connection according to their manual. ethtool also reports the connection as 1000mb Full via autonegotiation. However, when running at 1000mb it won't receive any packets at all. I get destination host unreachable when pinging in either direction (router>server and server>router).
System is fully up to date, latest NVIDIA drivers. The router also has the latest firmware. I've scoured the web and not found any reports of the router having problems with gigabit kit. There's no IPTables on this box.
Steps tried so far:
- different cable
- different port on switch
- static IP
What's my next step in diagnosing the issue?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Box Score | UCLA Softball on Twitter
EUGENE, Ore. - Junior B.B. Bates hit a two-out, two-run homer in the top of the first for the 14th-ranked Bruins, but #12 Oregon scored eight unanswered to post an 8-2 victory in the regular-season finales for both teams on Saturday at Howe Field.
The Bruins fall to 36-18 overall and 12-12 in Pac-12 play, while the Ducks improve to 39-15 and 13-9 in league action.
UCLA had six hits as a team, as freshman Stephany LaRosa posted a pair of infield singles.
Sophomore Jessica Hall (19-12), struck out six in six innings, allowing eight runs (seven earned), eight hits and two walks.
The Bruins scored a pair of runs in their first at-bat. Senior Katie Schroeder led off with a slap single to second base, moved to second on a sacrifice by LaRosa and advanced to third on a ground out to second off the bat of senior Andrea Harrison. Bates followed with her 14th homer of the season to left-center to make it 2-0 UCLA.
Oregon responded with five in its half of the first. Janie Takeda struck out to start the inning, but reached first on a passed ball on strike three. A walk to Kaylan Howard and an infield bunt single for Kelsey Chambers loaded the bases for Kailee Cuico, who hit a grand slam to center to put the Ducks up 4-2. One out later, Christie Nieto homered to right to make it 5-2.
Thanks to a couple of Duck miscues, the Bruins had a chance in the fourth, but could not edge closer. With one out, sophomore Kellie Fox reached when a grounder to Chambers at short went through her legs. Senior Dani Yudin followed with a single up the middle, as Fox took third and Yudin moved up to second on a fielding error by Takeda in center. But Oregon pitcher Jessica Moore struck out freshman Ally Carda and sophomore Talee Snow to end the threat.
Oregon rallied with two outs in its half of the fourth. Takeda drew a walk, stole second and scored on a single up the middle by Howard to make it 6-2.
The Ducks added two more in the fifth. Chambers singled up the middle and came home one out later on a homer to right off the bat of Samantha Pappas to make it 8-2.
UCLA had one more look at the game in the sixth, as the visitors drew three walks to senior Samantha Camuso, Yudin and Snow, but Schroeder popped up to third to end the inning.
The Bruins find out where their postseason journey begins on Sunday when the NCAA Selection Show airs on ESPNU at 7 p.m.

College Hockey:(St.) Louis, Louis
Forgive me fellow Islanders fans, for I may have not been rooting too hard for our helpless team in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Forgive me fellow Faithful, for my loyalties this year may not be lying with Joe Nieuwendyk and Pat Quinn's band of goons.
This year, I'm a Tampa Bay Lightning fan — one of the biggest. It's all because of two guys whose college hockey careers started the same year as my professional college hockey broadcasting career. Two guys who drove me crazy, but who I came to be enthralled with — it's because of Martin St. Louis and Eric Perrin.
People will often ask me, who is the best college hockey player I ever saw. I do not hesitate to say Martin St. Louis. Granted, my first-hand experience goes back only to 1988, but that includes quite a few great players. And when I say St. Louis, the response I get is often, "Really?" After all, there are players like Chris Drury, Brendan Morrison, Tony Amonte, and so on. And they're all great players. And we haven't even mentioned Paul Kariya, who was quite sick to watch, of course, but played just over a season.
But I always told people — when we're speaking purely of "College Hockey Player," Martin St. Louis was the best. He is, to me, the embodiment of a pure college hockey player, a subtle but important distinction.
Thing is, I don't have to qualify it anymore. I don't have to apologize for my selection anymore. Because Martin St. Louis is now one of the best players in the National Hockey League, and could soon be named its MVP. And his team is on the verge of the Eastern Conference finals.
And for those of us who watched him play and believed in him all along, it's a great feeling. I told you so.
I tend to naturally root for the little guys, not specifically because they are small, but because I tend to root for any player, or anybody, that I believe is unfairly dismissed for whatever reason. And in hockey, that tends to be the little guys, especially those that played college hockey.
And as St. Louis languished in the minor leagues, looking for someone to give him a chance, he just tore it up and burned for the NHL. And then he got to the NHL but wasn't given the ice time, was stuck on the fourth line. That was until a famous meeting with Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella, challenging his boss to give him more ice time and vowing that if he did so, St. Louis would show everyone what he was made of.
And he was true to his word, and then some.
We've come a long way in hockey. Teams are so desperate for talent they aren't as quick to dismiss players for stereotypical reasons. But it still amazes me how small players have to fight to earn respect, especially ones so eminently gifted as Martin St. Louis.
But more than all that, St. Louis and Perrin were such a pure treat to watch, and to watch them (St. Louis in particular, of course) to do it on the highest level, serves to validate what we always knew, and allow us to enjoy it all over again.
Perrin's story is even more convoluted than St. Louis'. It was recounted brilliantly today in an article in the St. Petersburg Times, so I don't need to repeat it here.
But it's quite heartwarming to see St. Louis-Perrin together again. Two names so inextricably linked in college hockey history, that you can't hardly get one name off the tongue without it flowing seamlessly into the other. As St. Louis rose to NHL prominence, something didn't seem right to those who knew them when. Imagine how they felt, having known each other since well before most of us.
They are not linemates, but they are teammates, and if you close your eyes for just a second, you can allow yourself to be transported back to the magic they made at Gutterson Fieldhouse. They were creating lightning long before they were Lightning, with their stickhandling, eyes-behind-their-head passwork, St. Louis' rocket shot, Perrin's finishing skills, and, yes, grit.
I remember their last game like it was yesterday. It came in Worcester, a defeat in the NCAA first round to Denver. It was a disappointing season which had Vermont ranked No. 1 early on, coming off a Frozen Four appearance a year earlier. Things never meshed the same way that senior season. But when the game was over, they faced the music in the post-game press conference, as classy as ever.
I went up to St. Louis — he knew me somewhat tangentially from my reporting work and broadcasting for Princeton. I stepped out of my objective reporter's role for just a minute. "I just want to say thank you for giving me the most pleasure I've ever had watching anyone play hockey, and good luck." And he said thank you. And that was all.
The next year, I was in Iowa and St. Louis-Perrin were in Cleveland, and I watched their games on the dish. Two years later, I was in the AHL in Philadelphia, and St. Louis was in Saint John, and I saw him again, playing against our team, playing in the All-Star Game, still wondering why he wasn't in the NHL — my colleagues having to insufferably listen to me go on and on about this guy.
Now he's a star and everyone knows it. He's not mine anymore. There's nothing to shout about anymore.
Instead, I just sit back and watch the magic, and root for the Lightning. It's on to other causes — like how about getting Eric Perrin his first NHL goal? Who knows where that will lead.

Emeric Nectoux's curator insight, May 22, 12:32 AM
What prevents individuals and organizations from innovating is their mindset.
Being innovative requires a deep understanding of the world we live in. Innovators should not fall into traps such as thinking that "everybody loves innovation" or "innovation is easy"... This article gives the 2 side of the coin, when it comes to innovation, for the innovators and the non-innovators.
Emeric Nectoux's comment, May 22, 1:10 AM
I knew you would like this one when I scooped it! ;) Have a nice week end :)
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, April 26, 1:12 PM
Derrida who was one of the people that the "post" movements is attributed to suggested that to say something is post means we include the something in that. We cannot be post logical without including the logical.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, April 23, 12:51 PM
It does. Teachers need choice, time, and opportunity to use what they learn.
Jerry Busone's curator insight, May 2, 7:58 AM
I love these competentcies as they apply to many walks of life. Whetehr you are a leader of a team, or orgainzation or a a coach oleading teams to victories this applies. What lives over the top of all this is you must have a passion find great talent and communciate to them often.... most coaches and leaders lose at their converastions thay have have or dfont have daily.Good List here.

I have reviewed Desmos, and I am convinved that many a math teacher will benefit from this free and powerful web-app. Perfect for BYOD due to its cross-platform nature!

The Philadelphia Inquirer and Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reported that a pit bull and her seven puppies that belong to Eagles running back Bryce Brown were among the animals seized in a suspected dog fighting operation in Wisconsin. A judge ordered Friday that Brown's dogs be returned to him, the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram said, and Brown's lawyer argued he is a victim in the case. There were 27 dogs seized, and the other 19 remain in custody of the Eau Claire County Humane Association.
The reports say Brown sent his pit bull Eilis to Northland Pits in February to be bred. Bekah Weitz, the humane officer for the Eau Claire County Humane Association, said during a hearing Friday that she was concerned the animals at Northland Pits were being trained for fighting, the Leader-Telegram said. Weitz said she saw scarring on seven animals when the dogs were seized. There is no indication in any media report that Brown sent the dogs to be trained for fighting.
Brown, of course, is a teammate of Michael Vick, whose participation in a dog fighting operation led to him going to jail and was one of the NFL's worst off-field stories in many years.
According to the Inquirer, Brown returned Eilis to Northland Pits after sending her to be bred in February so the kennel could help give birth to the puppies and wean them. Brown knew little about birthing and caring for nursing puppies, an affidavit said. The dogs were seized on May 21.
Brown didn't appear in court on Friday, but the Leader-Telegram said his lawyer referred to Brown as a victim. Joseph Sudbrink, operator of Northland Pits, was arrested Friday on preliminary charges of mistreating animals and operating as a dog breeder without a license, the Leader-Telegram said, and a criminal investigation is ongoing.
The Inquirer said Brown and his wife are often seen walking their two dogs in their neighborhood in Philadelphia. Brown's lawyer brought a picture to court of Brown hugging his wife, and his wife hugging Eilis.

Lady Trojans, Terriers win Central Lafourche meet
Published: Saturday, March 24, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 24, 2007 at 12:48 a.m.
MATHEWS -- The girls and boys team titles at the Nollie Arcement Relays at Central Lafourche on Friday night came down to the final few races.
Central Lafourches girls team held a slim lead over South Lafourche throughout the meet, but thanks to a fourth-place finish in the 1,600-meter relay, the Lady Trojans held on to their lead.
Central Lafourche finished with 123.5 points and with South Lafourche unable to score any points in the 1,600-meter relay, the Lady Tarpons ended up second with 116.5 points.
Vandebilt Catholics boys team trailed Central Lafourche and Thibodaux before the 3,200-meter run and 1,600-meter relay.
The Terriers vaulted to the top with Ross Mulloly and Alex Hebert finishing first and second in the 3200-meter run and a second place finish in the 1,600-meter relay. Vandebilt ended the meet with 125 points just ahead of Central Lafourche, which finished with 122.5 points.
"Weve been working hard all year and weve been banged up a bit. We missed Alex Breaux, he is running at the LSU Relays tonight and I wasnt sure how it would go tonight," Vandebilt coach Mark King said. "It was a good night for preparation for the (Terrebonne) Parish meet on Tuesday and that was our main focus."
Central coach Dennis Blanchard said his team also used the meet as a tune-up for the rescheduled Lafourche Parish Meet.
The meet was cancelled due to the track conditions at South Lafourche, and is slated for Friday at Thibodaux High.
Blanchard also gave credit to Kiera Smith, who won the outstanding field performer, and Cherell Folse, who was named outstanding track performer, for piling up points for the Lady Trojans.
"This year, we are slowly working our way in and we have a big parish meet coming up," Blanchard said. "We are starting to come on strong and we are waking up and we hope it all comes together."
Smith was the outstanding field performer for winning the shot put and discus.
Folse won the 300-meter hurdles, finished third in the 100-meter low hurdles, and was part of the Lady Trojans relay teams to claim the outstanding track performer.
On the boys side, Central Lafourches John Williams and Terrebonnes Clay Pier tied for outstanding field performers.
Williams finished second in the high jump, second in the long jump and second in the triple jump.
Pier won the long jump and triple jump and finished fourth in the high jump.
On the track, Thibodauxs Malcolm Riney was named the outstanding performer by winning the 1,600-meter run and finishing second in the 800-meter run.
Other winners in the boys meet were: Ellenders Derek Dark in the shot put; Ellenders Preston Dark in the discus; Vandebilts Josh Cannon in the javelin; Terrebonnes Nicholas Short in the high jump; Vandebilts Chris Watson in the pole vault.
Central Lafourches Curtis Folse in the 100-meter dash; Ellenders Cleveland Jones in the 200-meter dash; Thibodauxs Lonnie Brown in the 400-meter dash; Central Lafourches Stuart Theriot in the 800-meter run; Vandebilts Andrew Dugas in the 110-meter high hurdles; Central Lafourches Peter Guidry in the 300-meter hurdles; Central Lafourche in the 400-meter relay; and Thibodaux in the 800-and 1600-meter relays.
Other winners in the girls meet were: South Lafourches Savannah Lerille in the javelin; South Lafourches Melissa Guidry in the high jump; Thibodauxs Whitney Holmes in the triple jump; Central Lafourches Taquinta Lawson in the long jump; Vandebilts Rachel Laurent in the pole vault.
South Lafourches Desiree Mike in the 100-meter dash; Vandebilts Alycia Johnson in the 200-meter dash; Terrebonnes Cierra Bonvillain, in the 400-meter dash; South Lafourches Hannah Gaspard in the 800-meter run; Vandebilts Amy Donaldson in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs; Vandebilts Jacy Turner in the 100-meter low hurdles; Ellender won the 400-meter relay; Thibodaux won the 800-meter relay; and Terrebonne won the 1600-meter relay.

On Sunday, British Islamist Anjem Choudary issued a tweet admitting that Islam and Sharia law are directly opposed to freedom, democracy, human rights and liberty.
"Democracy, Freedom, Secularism, Liberty, Human Rights, Amnesty, UN, ARE OPPOSITE TO Islam, Shari'ah, Khilafah, Jihad, Quran, Sunnah, Divine rights," he tweeted.
"[Y]our (sic) not getting it, your (sic) supposed to get the public on YOUR side," one person said in response.
"[A]nd that's why you're several laps behind in the human race," another person added.
Last May, Choudary blamed British foreign policy for the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby. The men who murdered Rigby in Woolwich last year were sentenced to 45 years and life, the UK Independent said.
"Woolwich is a lesson for us all, we must take the role of the UK in Muslim land seriously & its harsh repercussions on the streets of the UK," Choudary tweeted.
He also praised the slaughter of 128 people in Mumbai in 2008.
According to the Daily Star, Choudary said "any Brits killed had only themselves to blame for being on the "battlefield" in the war Muslims nuts are waging against the world."
The Star added:
Extremist Choudary, 41, the right-hand man of exiled cleric Omar Bakri, 50, and former leader of banned hate group al-Muhajiroun, said the attacks were revenge for the West's "crusades" against Islam.
He also burned an American flag at the U.S. Embassy in London on Sept. 11, 2011 and held a mock funeral for Osama bin Laden after he was killed by U.S. forces in 2011.
Choudary, a British-Pakistani, lives on social welfare funds and takes in a reported sum of about £25,000 -- or about $37,770 -- per year from the British welfare program.
Last May, the Wall Street Journal said a newly-enlisted British soldier can expect to earn a salary of around £16,000, or roughly $24,172.
"It's irrelevant," Choudary said when asked to clarify how much he takes from the British system.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are relieved after finding a weapon used in an early Thursday morning home invasion armed robbery at a Panama City Beach condominium. Both of the suspects for the robbery are behind bars.
Members from multiple agencies can take it easy after finding the silver revolver used by one of the two suspects. The two suspects in the case are 18-year-olds Jarline Deandre Lee of Anniston, Alabama and Aaron Joseph Wilkinson of Glencoe, Alabama.
The new Joint Agency in Water Strike Force or JAWS who helped close the case can consider this their first success.
JAWS is a joint effort by the Bay County Sheriff's Office, the Panama City Fire Department, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Florida State University Panama City.
On Thursday morning, representatives from these agencies officially formed JAWS.
"Streamlining the protocols and procedures to make a more efficient response, a safer response, and to get us all in line operating the same way," said Jerome Fleeman, the JAWS Advisory Board chairman.
The newly formed JAWS team is the first in the state and the country.
Later on Thursday the team was called to find a silver revolver that law enforcement officials say was used in a home invasion armed robbery off of Thomas Drive.
The two suspects robed multiple suspects at the Summit Condominiums early Thursday morning around 3:00 AM.
The Panama City Beach Police Department says an interview with the second suspect led them to the pond off of Thomas Drive.
This is the first investigation the JAWS team has officially worked on together.
Officials with the Joint Agency in Water Strike Team say the grass beneath the pond delayed them from finding the weapon quicker.
Law enforcement officials told Newschannel 7 they found the silver revolver used in the robbery around 4:15 PM Thursday.
Beach police say Lee and a second suspect identified as Aaron Joseph Wilkinson, 18 of Glecoe, Alabama went to the Summit Condominiums on Thomas Drive shortly after 3:00 AM.
They went into the victim's unit through an unlocked door, drew their guns and robbed them of their phones, money and other possessions. Then they robbed two more victims in an adjoining bedroom.
Lee was arrested within minutes of the home invasion being reported. Wilkinson was arrested several hours later.

Smartphones have become an extra limb (or ear) for some people. So naturally there are cell phone cases that not only protect phones but also cater to the phone users' lifestyle. For example, if you want to travel with the bare necessities, there is a Smartphone case that features an integrated wall charger making it do double duty to protect your phone and conveniently juice it up. Plus, you can charge your phone without needing a charging cord or external battery pack. Or, if you're the outdoors-type who likes kayaking, snowboarding or want to use your phone to take an underwater shot, you might want a waterproof case. Fashionistas can glam up and bling out their phones with a bejeweled case. Or perhaps you're just interested in function—a case that protects your phone from accidental drops and cracked screens.
Here are some cell phone cases to consider.
(Note Amazon.com or the manufacturers provided cell phone cases for review purposes.)
DiCaPac Waterproof Case
The DiCaPac 100% Waterproof Case is guaranteed to be submersible to 10 meters (33ft). You can use the controls through the plastic window and it does take clear photos – in spite of the fact that it comes in various colors. It's good to have if you're near water, dust, sandy beaches, snow or in rain to protect mobile phones. You can talk and hear through the material. (It will float with the Smartphone in it – so if it falls out of a canoe or kayak, it won't sink.) And speaking of which…
It also comes with an adjustable neck strap.
You do want to check it after purchase to make sure there isn't any damage to the surface, as well as test it out (with paper or fabric) and ensure that it's truly waterproof (the test sample was) and that there is no damage to the zipper and joint units. (You'll need to do this every time before use—just in case.) The manual also instructs users to avoid strong impacts and sharp objects. The case shouldn't be left in the sun for a long time – apparently that can cause damage. You also can't use it in water that is more than 86F (30C) such as in a hot spring or hot tub. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is $24.95 for the Samsung Note series. The case is available in blue, pink, black, green, yellow and white. Visit Amazon.com.
My Bat Advanced Armor Hybrid Case
The My Bat Advanced Armor Rugged Durable Hybrid Case with Kick Stand is actually a two-piece accessory designed to protect the phone from damage. The softer rubber interior protects the ports and buttons from dust and the screen from scratches, and the sturdy exterior protects the phone from shock.
I initially had problems getting the Samsung Note 2 to stay inside the case until I realized that you have to take the rubberized interior out, put the phone in and then put it inside the hard exterior cover.
There is also a kickstand that holds the phone up sideways for viewing of slideshows or videos. (But this is only useful if something rotates sideways.)
The Advanced Armor Rugged Durable Hybrid Case With Kickstand is available in Black/Black, Dark Blue/Black, Hot Pink/Black, Purple/Electric Pink and Red/Black.
The My Bat Advanced Armor Rugged Durable Hybrid Case with Kickstand has an MRSP of $9.99. Check out prices at Amazon.com.
Empire Glitz Slim-Fit Case
If you want to add a little glitter, sparkle or glam to your Smartphone, try one of Empire's bejeweled Glitz cases. The cases have a sleek and lightweight design but are made of durable polycarbonate construction and a raised edge design to protect the device's screen.
The phone case comes with a microfiber cloth and screen protector. The screen protector might protect the actual screen from scratches, but it easily smudges and bubbles. (If you want more protection for the screen, you can also purchase the Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector, which is made of a chemical processed glass and an anti-fingerprint coated layer for resistance against smudges and fingerprints and anti-shatter, silicone coated film.)
Choose from Gold Glitter Glam ($14.95) or Dotted Glitter Glam (available in purple, gold, hot pink, teal and silver.) The cases are available for several phones including the Samsung Note II, iPhone 4/4s and 5/5s/5c, Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, Galaxy S III and Galaxy S 4, HTC One, Blackberry Q10/710, LG and Nokia Lumia 11020. For more information visit, www.EmpireCase.com.
Prong PocketPlug
If you've ever forgotten the charger for your Smartphone, or are simply tired of carrying around cords with you, this might be the case for you.
(Note: The case was sent out to a tester that has an iPhone 5.)
The PocketPlug has two retractable charging plugs that come out easily, according to my tester, and also folds flat inside the case when not in use. The case has a sleek look and a lightweight feel and "didn't add a lot of weight to the actual phone."
The case is made of high-grade polycarbonate, with soft touch rubber finish that is made to withstand wear and tear. The tester noted that it seemed secure enough to protect the phone. Other good points: the case doesn't compromise the camera. It was easy to access the volume/silent buttons on the side and the power button on top. The tester also noted that she has small fingers. "The case might get in the way for others."
The PocketPlug is also convenient for travel. It has a worldwide voltage compatibility of 100-240V and 50-60Hz.
The cons: the tester's Moshi screen protector doesn't fit well within the case and the jack for the headphones is not easily accessible. "You really have to pull to get them out since the jack is so deep. You need some sort of adapter to make access easier."
Another negative is that it's currently only available for the iPhone 5/5s (MSRP $69.95) and iPhone 4/4s (MSRP $59.95). There will be a PocketPlug for the Samsung Galaxy III soon.
The Pocket Plug case comes with a user manual, Micro USB cable to provide the user with the option to charge mobile devices the traditional way, and an enhanced audio adapter designed to enhance the quality and clarity of the phone's volume speaker and microphone when in use.

Samsung Protective Flip Cover
Reviewed: Flip Cover Case for the Galaxy Note II
Though the Samsung Flip Cover doesn't look particularly interesting, it does come in some vivid colors and most importantly you can use the speakerphone even when the cover is closed. Since you can make the call with the Flip Cover closed, it keeps your face off of the screen (great to keep oils and makeup off the screen). It has a hard plastic shell to protect the phone against scratches and bumps. The soft felt liner also keeps the phone screen free of dirt and smudges, and the cover folds back for easy access.
The back cover replaces the phone's back, which gives it an even sleeker design, making it easier to fit inside a pocket (especially if you have a Galaxy III or IV—the Note II is larger.) You don't have to remove the case when using the Samsung Desktop Charging Dock, Vehicle Navigation Mount or Smart Dock.
The Flip Cover Case for the Galaxy Note II is available in 9 colors and has the MSRP of $39.99. You can find it for $14.99 at Amazon.com.
Trident Aegis Case
The Trident Aegis case is designed with a durable, protective exterior that, states the company, has met Military Standard tests for vibration and drops. It features an inner layer of shock-absorbing silicone called Thermo Plastic Elastomer (TPE) with an outer layer of hardened polycarbonate, thus providing two layers of protection. The power ports and audio jacks are covered with TPE plugs to keep out dust and debris but are still easy to use. There are dust filters to protect the microphone and speaker bays and a lanyard loop that can be used to attach key chains and other items.
The case also comes with a scratch-resistant screen protector to provide protection from dust and damage from dropping the phone. The Trident Aegis case is available in black, blue, green, pink and red. It has a manufacturer's suggested list price of 29.95. It's $17.54 at Amazon.com.

But as the company recovered, Hidalgo Lima's marriage struggled. "Dave was my greatest cheerleader," she says. "He believed I had it in me to become CEO. But he also felt unhappy about no longer being part of the team. He was working on consulting projects. I couldn't talk to him about the business for fear of hurting his feelings, and at home I was still doing the grocery shopping and all the cooking." One night, she straggled in after 8 pm, hungry, exhausted and loaded down with her briefcase and laptop. Dave and their three daughters were watching TV. They smiled at her and asked, "What's for dinner?"
Hidalgo Lima carried her resentment around for months, until she insisted that she and Dave go for couples therapy. "It was amazing," she says. "We learned to communicate better, and we've completely reversed roles. He does all the shopping, and when I get home, dinner is ready."
In 2010, Best Upon Request paid off its SBA loan. The company now employs more than 100 people at over 200 client locations in 12 states. Hidalgo Lima has received many honors, including the 2008 Brillante Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence from the National Society of Hispanic MBAs. Two of her daughters have joined the business. "I'm very proud of the company. There's energy and a positive outlook here," says Hidalgo Lima, who likes to think that her CEO title stands for chief encouragement officer. "But lots of people helped me. There's no way I could have done this alone."
From | Insurance Agent
To | Feed-Store Owner
Sandy Hansen had been married for less than 15 months when she lost her husband, Randy, to leukemia. Days after the funeral, Hansen, an insurance agent living in Watkins, Minnesota, sat at Randy's desk, went through the financial paperwork and saw for the first time that her husband's -animal-feed store, AgVenture Feed & Seed, had racked up almost $500,000 in debt, much of it secured by the equity in their home. "There was no way I could have sold the business and broken even," she says.
She decided to fight to turn the company around. "I'm going to try to learn the business," Hansen told the staff, "and we'll work things out." She extended the leave of absence she'd taken from the insurance job and headed to AgVenture every day, her stomach in knots. "I kept wondering, Would this be the day that we have to declare bankruptcy?" she says. With no background in the business and no idea why it was doing so poorly, she spent hours with an accountant and a banker, trying to figure out ways to make the store more efficient.
The company had always ground most of its own feed, a costly process, so she decided to eliminate that step and sell preground feed. She began to contract out some parts of the business, such as deliveries. "I made it up as I went along," she says. She never let on to the farmers who shopped at the store that she was near bankruptcy, never told her parents or siblings what was happening. The experience reminded her of an undergraduate internship she'd had at a nonprofit. "My boss threw me into roles where I was completely lost. But I always got the job done," she says. "That taught me to take limited information and just go for it."
Hansen soon discovered that some of her freelance sales representatives were selling feed directly to farmers, which was cutting into her business. Hansen invited the reps (all men), one by one, to her back office for a chat and let them know flat out that this would not be tolerated: "I had to be stern and direct and establish myself as a force. I had to let people know, 'I'm not going away.' This is what women have to do in business. We have to work twice as hard as men to establish credibility, and only then do we get to play in the game. But in the end, being a woman is a blessing because once you establish yourself, you stand out."

Dear Barbara,
I just found your column and it looks great!
I have a question. I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante and the light on my dash showing I am in drive has gone out. Is that something I can buy to correct like a small bulb, etc. Can I do myself if so?
Thank you so much.
Dear Cynthia,
Yes, it is a small bulb and a fairly quick and easy repair however you will have to pull the dash out.
If you have the owners manual or lets say a Chilton repair manual referencing your make and model of your Mitsubishi to show you how to pull the dash out you can definitely do this repair on your own. After pulling the dash out use a flash light to locate the burned out bulb, unscrew it, pull it out then replace it.
Thanks for reading and writing in!

Tech CEOs Want More Than Tax Credits from Obama
By Don Clark
By all accounts, the initial meeting Wednesday between the new president and a tech-dominated group of corporate CEOs was a sober affair. But that's not the tone that stuck with Michael Splinter, chief executive of Applied Materials.
The thirteen executives were hosted in the Roosevelt room in the White House, Splinter says. After a few remarks by President Obama, each CEO in the room spoke briefly about their views on the economy, the stimulus package and what could most help their respective industries, he says. The president interjected with questions from time to time.
"He listened. There was no pontificating, and no selling," Mr. Splinter says. "It was very much like a business meeting."
The president seemed, in other words, less like a typical politician and more like a person for whom time is money. And tech leaders–many of whom are longtime Republicans who switched sides in this election–think there's no time for lofty debates on the role of government in the economic crisis.
"We are going to have to have involvement from the government and it's going to be an important part about how the economy responds," says Steve Appleton, CEO of Micron Technology, another attendee.
As widely discussed, the tech CEOs want to make sure that any new infrastructure investments include more than roads and bridges. They want federal spending to help extend broadband connections to rural America, to develop an computerized electrical grid that saves energy and improve the efficiency of hospitals and doctors' offices with computer technology.
Applied, not surprisingly, is very big on solar energy. The company has been grappling with very tough times selling manufacturing equipment to chip makers, and has a new business selling tools to makers of solar panels. Applied's own big solar installation has drawn dignitaries to its Silicon Valley campus such as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Splinter proposes that Congress immediately make $10 billion available to the Federal Energy Management Program to invest in building and operating solar installations to power federal buildings. Such spending, he argues, would immediately create jobs, reduce the country's dependence on foreign energy sources and help address the problems of global warming.
There's a more subtle issue at work. Many suggestions for government action start with tax credits to help companies make investments in areas such as research and development. But that idea doesn't help companies like Micron, which have been losing money for a long time in the tough memory-chip business–and hence aren't paying taxes. "Tax credits alone won't solve it," Appleton says.
Splinter adds that it's not just ailing mature companies that face the tax-credit issue. Many young start-ups of the sort that want to invest in research and development, for example, could really use comparable financial incentives as tax-paying firms get through a typical investment tax credit, he says.
Applied also is angling to make it possible for tax credits associated with buying solar panels could also extend to U.S. companies that want to buy machines to make such panels. The way things have recently been heading, Splinter has warned, America could stop buying foreign oil but find itself buying foreign solar cells.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley adds a London component to the immersive realm started in 2010 with the fabulously successful Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade at the adjacent Islands of Adventure theme park.
Guests approach the Wizarding World's London Waterfront from either the San Francisco or World Expo areas of Universal Studios, at the opposite end of the park from the front entrance. Wrought iron fencing surround the park-like promenade (complete with snack and souvenir stands, and a towering statue-topped fountain) with a shoreline sidewalk along the embankment bypassing the area. Guests access London through the gateway closest to the Fear Factor Live stadium, and exit towards Disaster!
Having arrived at the London area, take a moment to spot Kreacher (the house elf regularly peers from a second-story window above 12 Grimmauld Place); dial "MAGIC" (62442) in the red phone booth; poke your head in the back door of the triple-decker purple Knight Bus; and chat with the Knight Bus conductor and his Caribbean-accented shrunken head. For some Easter eggs from the attraction designers -- including the first of several tributes to Jaws, the original occupant of this area -- inspect the record albums in the music store window.
Now enter Diagon Alley next to the Leicester Square marquee in the approximate center of the building facades. As in the books and films, the unmarked portal is concealed within a magical brick wall (which unfortunately does not actually move, due to safety concerns) that is ordinarily reserved for wizards and the like. However, the endless queue of Muggles (plain old humans) in shorts and flip-flops will leave little doubt where that entryway is, and just in case you're completely clueless, Universal positions attendants outside to obtrusively point the way.
Once inside, look down the alley to the rounded facade of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, where a forty-foot fire-breathing Ukranian Ironbelly dragon (as seen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) perches atop the dome. The dragon doesn't move, but every 10 or 15 minutes he unleashes a jet of flame; get your camera ready when you hear him growl. To your left is the Leaky Cauldron, the area's flagship restaurant, serving authentically hearty British pub fare like bangers and mash, cottage pie, toad in the hole, Guinness stew, and a ploughman's platter for two of scotch eggs and imported cheeses. Meals are ordered and drinks received at a counter; then you are seated with a candle which helps servers deliver food direct to your table. You can top off your meal with potted chocolate and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, or step around the corner to Florean Fortescue's for Butterbeer soft-serve (the newest variation of the cult-favorite beverage) or unusual hard-pack flavors like clotted cream, Earl Grey & lavender, and chocolate chili. If all that eating makes you thirsty, a variety of new novelty drinks are poured at The Hopping Pot and Fountain of Fair Fortune, both alcoholic -- Wizard's Brew (a heavy porter) and Dragon Scale (a hoppy amber) -- and virgin, like Fishy Green Ale (mint boba tea with balls of blueberry juice) and Gillywater, which can be spiked with four different flavored elixirs, alongside ever-popular Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice.
Intersecting Diagon Alley near the Leaky Cauldron is Knockturn Alley, a labyrinth of twisting passageways where the Harry Potter bad guys hang out. A covered walk-through area with a projected "sky" creating perpetual night, it features spooky special effects in the faux shop windows -- don't miss the creeping tattoos and crawling spiders! Finally, to the right of Escape from Gringotts is Carkitt Market, a canopy-covered plaza where short live shows are staged every half-hour or so. All the sections of Diagon Alley are crammed with elaborate signage, animated window displays, and endless hidden details to discover.
"Discover" is an important word in Diagon Alley, because this overwhelmingly intricate area actually feels like a place you can explore and get "lost" in, much like Epcot's Morocco pavilion or Disneyland's New Orleans Square. It can't be overstated how seamlessly Diagon's designers have rendered the illusion of a living word, topping even Disney California Adventure's Cars Land. Immersion is an often-overworked buzzword in themed entertainment, but the new Wizarding World exemplifies it, enveloping fans in Potter's world to a degree that far exceeds Hogsmeade's high standards. And even if you aren't a follower of the franchise, you may find yourself falling for the fictional universal after experiencing Universal's incarnation.
Interactive Wands and Spell Casting Locations
With the opening of Diagon Alley, Universal also introduced interactive wands ($44.95) to the parks, supplementing the nonfunctional replica wands ($36.95) that continue to be sold at Ollivanders and in the smaller selection at Wands by Gregorovitch. Interactive wands are available in 13 "Ollivanders Original" styles inspired by the Celtic calendar; interactive wands modeled after those wielded by a variety of characters (including Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore, Sirius Black, and Luna Lovegood) are also available. The widest selection of wands is found in the two Ollivanders shops. Stores outside of the Wizarding World at the entrance of each park, as well as CityWalk's Universal Studios store and gift shops at each hotel, carry a limited variety of interactive and non-interactive wands. Wands can also be ordered from Universal Orlando's merchandise website.
Medallions embedded in the ground designate a couple dozen locations spilt between the two Wizarding Worlds, where hidden cameras in storefront windows can detect the waving of these special wands and respond to the correct motions with special effects both projected and practical. You might use the swish-and-flick of Wingardium Leviosa to levitate one object or the figure-four Locomotor spell to animate another. It's a much more thematically satisfying form of interactivity than the gimmicky games found at the Magic Kingdom, but it can take some practice to get the hang of spell-casting; wizards will supposedly be stationed at windows to coach novices and supply loaner wands, but it's easy to imagine how demand for the experience may prove unmagically unmanageable at peak times. A map provided with each wand purchase details the location and movement for most effects, but there are some secret ones to discover on your own. (Hint: one is in Scribbulus' window, and another in the Slug & Jiggers storefront.) Look at your map under the UV lights in Knockturn Alley for another surprise.
Note that the price of the interactive wands includes unlimited activations of the hidden effects; you don't have to pay to "recharge" your wand on subsequent visits, or even replace a battery. If you encounter a spell-casting location with a sign saying it "currently has an anti-jinx in place," just move along to the next one; that's Potter-speak for "it's broken."
Shopping in Diagon Alley
Shopping is a major component of Diagon Alley in Potter lore; while Hogsmeade visitors went wild for the few wizardy shops there, Diagon Alley is the planet's wackiest mall, with vastly expanded array of enchanted tchotchkes to declare bankruptcy over. Shops include Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a joke shop with many of the toys previously found in Hogsmeade's Zonko's, plus new gags like Skiving Snackboxes and Decoy Detonators; look up through the three-story store's "glass" ceiling for fireworks. Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, which sits at the exit of Gringotts, sells crystal balls, compasses, and hourglasses. Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions stocks school uniforms, Scottish knitted wool sweaters, and dress robes for wizards and witches. Adopt a plush cat, rat, owl, or hippogriff from the Magical Menagerie, greeting the animated animals in its windows. Shutterbutton's will film your family in front of a green screen and insert your into a DVD of Potter scenes ($69.95 in a souvenir case, or $49.95 with a Photo Connect Star Card package); Quality Quidditch Supplies sells golden snitches and jerseys for your favorite teams; and Scribbulus carries quills, notebooks, and similar school supplies. Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley sells objects from the dark side of magic to discover -- just watch out for the mummified hand!
You can pay for all this loot in Gringotts bank notes, which you can purchase inside a money exchange overseen by an imperious interactive animatronic goblin, and then spend anywhere within the Universal resort (think Disney Dollars). In general, Diagon Alley's stores are larger and more plentiful than the tiny shops over in Hogsmeade, with carefully-planned external and internal queues to corral waiting customers.
Diagon Alley Touring Tips
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter–Diagon Alley is the queen of the hop in the theme park world in 2015 and beyond. Because of the crowds, experiencing Diagon Alley without interminable waits is a challenge—if you visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter–Hogsmeade during its first three years at IOA, you know of which we speak. Hogsmeade opened with three rides and Ollivanders; now it has four rides plus the wand shop. Diagon Alley has another upsized Ollivanders and only two rides, one of which, Hogwarts Express, it shares with Hogsmeade in IOA. Because only half of each day's total train passengers can board at the Studios station, Diagon Alley in essence has only one-and-a-half rides, plus Ollivanders and the various shops, to entertain the expected masses.
In other words, it's crazy, y'all.
When early park admission is offered USF admits eligible on-site resort guests one hour before the general public, with the turnstiles opening up to 90 minutes before the official opening time. Early entry is a tremendous perk if you're staying on-property, but you'll still be competing with thousands of other resort guests, so arrive at least 30 minutes before early entry starts; during peak season, showing up on the very first boat or bus from your hotel is recommended. If you're a day guest visiting on an early park admission day, Diagon Alley will already be packed when you arrive.
When Universal Studios Florida doesn't offer early park admission, guests may enter Diagon Alley from Universal Studios Florida's front gates, or via the Hogwarts Express from Islands of Adventure, up to 30 minutes before USF's opening time, though Escape from Gringotts doesn't begin operating until shortly before official opening time.
Universal has multiple operational options for allowing guests into USF's Wizarding World. On low to moderate attendance days, you'll be able to stroll in and out of Diagon Alley without restriction. On days of heavy attendance, barricades will limit access to the London waterfront, forcing guest to queue near Fear Factor Live and enter Diagon Alley at controlled pace, exiting only towards San Francisco. If the park is so busy that Diagon Alley reaches maximum capacity, timed-entry return tickets specifying when you can visit will be distributed from touchscreen kiosks located between Men In Black and Fear Factor Live. Guests are given a selection of one-hour return windows, assuming any are still available. Once your time comes, report to the gates at the end of London near Fear Factor Live. On the busiest days, standby queues may snake from Fear Factor Live behind MEN IN BLACK towards Simpsons, but waiting in these is strongly discouraged; by late afternoon you should almost always be able to waltz right into Diagon Alley without a wait. (Gringotts itself is of course another story.).
Circling the lagoon clockwise to the waterfront is the shortest route to the Hogwarts Express, but it's also the route that about 70% of guests take. Hustling to the waterfront counterclockwise through the Simpsons area is the most direct path to the ticket kiosks.
On the upside, the rush to Diagon Alley diminishes crowds and waits at other attractions. The downside to that upside: Those who can't enter Diagon Alley right away spread to nearby attractions, particularly Disaster!, Men in Black Alien Attack, and to a lesser extent The Simpsons Ride and Revenge of the Mummy. Diagon Alley spillover affects wait times at these attractions all day, so experience them as early as possible.
