PEND dxOREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 11 NUMBER 23 B UTTERC UP MONTH APRIL 15, 1983 New school prompts community sentiment, for and against The prospect of a new alternative high school building going up on the Reservation dominated three recent Tribal meetings: the March 30 south-end district meeting in Arlee, the April quarterly on the 1 st in Pablo, and a regular Council meeting April 8. That last meeting saw what was evidently the entire school body fill the Council Chambers after lunch to explain Health Board seeks public comment The Tribal Health Board has scheduled a series of community meetings for taking comments on the Reservation's health care delivery system. The public's input is needed for determining future directions in health care here. The meetings, all set to begin at 7 p.m., are scheduled for the next few Monday and Wednesday evenings: HOT SPRINGS: Monday, April 18, at the bowling alley POLSON: Wednesday, April 20, at the Flathead Lake Senior Citizens Center ARLEE: Monday, April 25, at the Salish Indian Seniors Center RONAN/PABLO: Wednesday, April 27, in the Council Chambers at the Tribal Complex ST.

Of the 100 or so people estimated in attendance, close to one-third of them - parents, students, and staff from TERS and FRACAP ~ chose to make comments. A common thread running through the students' remarks was praise for the teachers. Many students said they felt TERS teachers tried harder to help them by paying attention to each as an individual. All of the teachers seemed to genuinely care about the school and the students. Several young speakers said they welcomed TERS' attitude of acceptance after experiencing prejudice in the Reservation's public schools. An improved athletic program was the second most-common justification made, followed by concern about the safety of the old Dixon buildings, which many speakers noted were nine years old. Councilman Vic Stinger agreed that the buildings were worn out Part of the reason Tribal headquarters was moved to Pablo, he said, was because the Dixon facilities were so old The opportunity to learn Tribal culture was another item often mentioned during the 90-minute presentation Parents Virginia Hunter and Joe Sorrell each took a turn at the microphone to say their respective children have shown marked scholastic improvement since going to Two Eagle. Hunter added that one of her daughters seemed to want to go to the Dixon school, whereas she felt unwillingly compelled to attend public school Councilman, Noel Pichette, a member of the alternative school's board, said the TERS delegation was present April 8 (Continued on page 2)

Do you recognize this pickup truck?
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 9:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 9:23 a.m.
Terrebonne detectives are asking the public to look out for a pickup truck they say someone used to steal expensive marine equipment from an east Houma business.
The truck is a small, dark-colored, single-cab, older-model pickup truck with three large stickers on the rear window, detectives said. The burglary at Kelps and Will Prop Shop, 2109 Denley Road, happened the morning of May 1.
A second image of the pickup truck is to the left of this text.
Owners told detectives that someone got into the yard where the equipment was by cutting through their fence, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office said.
If you recognize the vehicle or know anything about this alleged burglary, call the Sheriff's Office at 876-2500. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433 for a potential reward.

SAN FRANCISCO -- USF's basketball team had lost two games in a row when tempers flared at a Nov. 19 practice and senior Cody Doolin and sophomore Tim Derksen engaged in a brief scuffle.
How did USF coach Rex Walters respond?
"Walters said, 'You can either practice or you can fight,' " a source said. "Then he gathers the players and coaches in a circle, and a boxing match ensues."
The exchange lasted barely 30 seconds, and neither player was hurt before teammates and assistant coaches broke it up.
Three days later Doolin -- a team captain, honor student and the No. 2 assist man in school history -- returned to his family's home in Austin, Texas, and quit the team. This past week, he transferred to UNLV.
"I was in shock when he left," said Perris Blackwell, who transferred from USF to the University of Washington two years ago. "Cody was kind of like the golden child, the point guard Coach Walters really wanted in his program."
Doolin is the 21st scholarship player to leave the school before his basketball eligibility expired since Walters was hired on April 7, 2008. In just the past 23 months, 11 players -- all recruited by Walters -- transferred, quit or were dismissed. Six of them left on the same day.
The stream of departures is not restricted to players. Six assistant coaches have left Walters' staff.
USF will not discuss the situation. Walters, athletic director Scott Sidwell and university president Rev. Stephen A. Privett declined multiple requests for interviews, as did Doolin.
Too intense?
Former players and coaches paint a consistent portrait of Walters, 43, who grew up in San Jose, carved out a seven-year career in the NBA and came to USF after two seasons as head coach at Florida Atlantic: nice enough fellow off the floor but uncomfortably intense.
North Carolina's Roy Williams, who coached Walters at Kansas, once called him "one of the three best competitors I've ever coached."
As a player, that temperament served Walters well.
"One of the things that got Rex to where he was as a player was his intensity, his toughness, his fight. That's how he coaches," a former USF assistant coach said. "You can't turn it off when your playing days are over."
Another former assistant wonders how Walters kept his job less than a year after Rutgers fired coach Mike Rice for shoving and throwing basketballs at players and using gay slurs during practice.
"I don't understand the reason he is still in place," the former assistant said of Walters, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Shortly after the Doolin-Derksen fight, Sidwell reportedly met with Doolin and his family.
Michael Glazier, a college sports attorney based in Overland Park, Kan., who was retained by USF to look into the Doolin incident, said through his secretary he could not comment and referred calls to the university.
The university's only response came from its media relations offices.
"We looked at it from all sides and there were a couple people making a decision on something like this," said Jim Young, spokesman for the athletic department. "We're focused on the remaining games on the schedule and preparing for the (WCC) tournament. Given some other factors, we're going to respectfully decline."
Roster upheaval
Doolin's exit is hardly an anomaly. His departure caps a six-year exodus that far exceeds the norm during an age where transfers are more common than ever. By comparison, Santa Clara University has had 11 players transfer in coach Kerry Keating's seven seasons.
Through 51/2 seasons, Walters' record at USF is 97-92. His teams have not made an NCAA or NIT appearance, but that could change this season. The Dons are 20-10 overall and third in the West Coast Conference at 13-5 after a 65-61 win Saturday at Loyola Marymount.
Walters is signed through the 2015-16 season, thanks to a contract extension he received from Sidwell in November 2011, six months after the athletic director was hired.
Four months later, six players left the program on the same day.
One of those was Michael Williams, who averaged 11.1 points for the Dons in 2011-12 before transferring to Cal State Fullerton. Williams said playing for Walters was no fun.
"Coach Rex always has his game face on," said Williams, who is averaging a team-best 17.5 points for the Titans. "You feel like you have to be serious all the time. That's what players wanted to get away from."
Williams said he doesn't dislike Walters.
"I just couldn't play for him," he said.
Blackwell, also part of that group defection, said he got along well enough with Walters to sometimes baby-sit the coach's kids. It was Walters' demeanor on the court that convinced Blackwell to move on to Washington.
"There's nothing wrong with being intense, but I felt like he rubbed people the wrong way," said Blackwell. "It was too hostile all the time. It didn't feel like home when we were practicing, and some people were really uncomfortable."
One former assistant said Blackwell's assessment is on the mark.
"It wasn't a very comfortable situation," he said. "Rex is a nice guy. He does a lot for people. But Rex can be tough to deal with."
Two other ex-players were less critical.
Avery Johnson, now at UC Davis, said, "I needed different scenery."
Joe Edmonds, who a year later transferred to Wesleyan, a Division III program in Middletown, Conn., said he opted for a situation where his focus was more on academics.
'No longer a unit'
Justin Raffington, another participant in the mass defection, is averaging 9.9 points and 8.7 rebounds at Florida Atlantic this season. He is among those who felt he was pushed out of the program, which was business as usual, according to an ex-assistant.
"The formula has been put the players on a chopping block," he said. "Can we get someone who appears to be better than what we have? That's with coaches and players. And you get into this spiral where you get 21 transfers."
None of those interviewed regrets leaving USF.
Williams said the instability of the coaching staff hurt the team.
"You could tell by how the locker room was," he said. "It was no longer a unit."
All three of Walters' current assistants are in their first or second seasons at USF. One former aide suggests greater continuity on the staff might have prevented the incident involving Doolin.
"Something like that would have never happened when we were there," he said. "We would have said, 'Coach, this is not a good idea.' With the young guys there, they let it happen."
The second ex-assistant said USF's administration also shoulders blame.
"Rex has to answer to someone," he said. "People can change, but I don't think it occurred to him to change. There's no consequences."

For a Media PC - a total bargain
Reviewed by A Muir. Review Posted 11/10/2013
I bought this processor, fully expecting it to be a bit of a slow runner due to it's price.
How wrong I was. It now forms the heart of my Living Room Media PC, connected to my 40 inch TV. It replaces a PS 3 (I fell out with Sony). It lets me watch iPlayer, YouTube and DVD/Blu Ray media with ease. Sips power, and runs at highest temp of 30C on the stock cooler. For the price it is just awesome.

good little processor
Reviewed by robert johnson. Review Posted 28/11/2013
As the other review concentrates on building of a media centre, i'll tell you how good it is for games.Brought this processor along with a Asrock motherboard from this website hoping that the end result would be better than my laptop.The end result was, not much better in Resident Evil 5 only a couple of frames better.Batman AA and Crysis(DX9 version) faired a little better.Batman was a bit smoother fighting wise and Crysis was also pretty smooth.This was achieved also with 2gb of ddr2 ram and a Geforce8400gs graphics card.Not too high spec but if it runs those 2 i'm not complaining.

Award-winning author, narrator, and screenwriter Neil Gaiman personally selected this book, and, using the tools of the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX), cast the narrator and produced this work for his audiobook label, Neil Gaiman Presents.
A few words from Neil on Jurgen: Jurgen may be the most famous of James Branch Cabell's books: It was certainly the one that put him on the map, when, in January 1920, the New York Society for the Prevention of Vice took his publisher to court for violating New York's anti-obscenity law. Suddenly, Cabell went from an admired but semi-obscure author of literary satiric fantasy, to the guy everyone was reading because he was censored.
James Branch Cabell's career was short-lived - his works fit neatly within the 1920s literary escapist culture and then quickly declined in popularity as the author veered away from the fantasy niche. In his heyday, Cabell garnered praise from several of his contemporaries such as H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. Lewis even acknowledged Cabell's successful Jurgen in his 1930 Nobel Prize address. Jurgen is certainly Cabell's most famous novel, published in 1919, and it tells the story of a middle-aged man on a journey through fantastic realms, where he meets and seduces beautiful women of fiction and myth - including the Devil's wife. The book garnered attention as it was charged with obscenity in a case that reached the New York Supreme Court. Cabell and his publisher won the case, and the author was deemed a literary avant garde, who tested conventional social boundaries and opposed the forces of puritanical repression.

"I think a must read..."
This is an interesting story both in and of itself and because of the history of the publication of the novel and the controversy that it caused. It is funny and irreverent and full of sexual double entendre and pretty racy stuff for 1920. I would recommend this audio book even thought the narrator was not really the best.
This is a tough dialogue to read... no argument, and Mr. Blumenfeld breezed through the French and Latin and German place names and references without missing a beat... however I kept waiting for him to get the rhythm of the characters and he never really did. I often had a hard time telling the transition from one character to another and he really wasn't a smooth reader. He injected pauses in the middle of sentences and didn't seem as I said to get the rhythm of the characters.
reader and collector especially of vintage crime fiction and historiography - with an additional penchant for Umberto Eco
"whimsical prose and a perfect performer"
this is a book which repays rereading. The language, the plotting and the mischievous double entendre may have been compromising in 1910, but today it is refreshing and amusing with a delicate and wicked sense of humour - his name was Jurgen but what his wife called him "was often much worse than that"
None, unless by Cabell. His Storisende series continually offers the sense of humour and mischief found here. Jurgen is the most accessible of the stories and perhaps the wittiest. after all, noone knows what happens in the dark.
the very first - his meeting with the devil and the commentary on the place of devil and religion as necessary counterparts is superbly done and as funny a scene as is to be found in literature
too good to miss, it is to be hoped that the rest of these wonderful books will be available on Audible, and with the same narrator.l especially look forward to the Cream of the Jest.
"This was mostly silly... and a little profound"
If you're reading this book because you're hoping to read something 'edgy' or you heard that this book was controversial... well, probably you will be disappointed. Unless you're scandalized by penis metaphors. I would hope that you wouldn't read a book purely for it's controversiality though...
Otherwise, I think Jurgen was a pretty insightful and blunt exploration into what I guess I'd call typical daydreaming themes (If I could go back in time.... if I could have any partner I wanted... etc). I don't know that it's possible to debunk these daydreams entirely - in particular I'm not sure I buy the idea that "doing it all over again" wouldn't make me happier. But regardless, it's an interesting thought.
"Brilliantly Salacious"
A Dirty Aristophanes
I loved how irreverently Cabell treated everything and everyone- making the holy profane and turning the profane sacred. With wit, he brutalized the Classics, the value of sexual conquest, high society, the virtues of democracy itself, and, as only a rare genius could- he brutalized himself most of all. He invited the listener to be part of the joke and fall in love with a truly epic hero that is actually a pudgy scheming pawn broker. The story revolves around his journey to retrieve his wife whom he fears "has been carried off by a devil, the poor fellow."
For I am Jurgen, and it is the manly thing to do...
"Interesting jaunt into yesteryears"
It largely depends on the friend--while I think this would make one of my acquaintances doing a DPhil in Medieval Literature squeal with glee, I'm not sure it's for everyone. If you have an appreciation for grail literature or classical works then this will probably suit you quite well.
He does have a nice (errr perhaps naughty) whit that still translates quite well to a modern audience. However, bits of it seem a little bit stilted and I sometime found myself losing patience with the plot.
I thought the performance was a little bit too dry. I like the reader's voice, but thought it was more soothing than entertaining, and this does not help you pay attention when the plot is lagging a bit
Yes definitely, I think I'd probably enjoy the film more.

When the El Dorado County Department of Veteran Affairs office moved into the South Lake Tahoe Senior Center at 3050 Lake Tahoe Blvd. in June, it was nothing less than an invasion in Kenneth Sands' eyes.
"We've been pushed out of 2,000 square feet of space in a 6,000-square foot building. They just walked in and said, 'Here's your stuff.' You'll find our computers and copy machines sitting next to the receptionist," Sands said.
Sands, the president and chairman of the Tahoe Basin Senior Citizens Center, Inc., said that his committee has put approximately $119,000 into the building through various fundraisers since the 1980s, and that the seniors no longer have use of a conference room they used for line dancing and other community events.
El Dorado County owns the building and operates it on what Facilities Manager Russ Fackrell called "pretty much a non-financial agreement." The county leases the property to the city on the grounds that it continues to operate as a senior center. It's a 50 year lease that the county has no plans on terminating, he said.
When Veteran Affairs Interim Director William Schultz requested the move from the previous office on 1360 Johnson Blvd., he did it because he thought the relocation would best serve the town.
"We needed a place to better reach the community. We felt it was a really good fit, and we've only heard positive feedback. Both the other offices - the district attorney and mental health - they needed more room. And I felt like we needed a change of venue," Schultz said.
Sands and TBSCC Vice Chairman R.S. Lynn both said they support Veteran Affairs - "Everyone in our generation is a veteran. There was a draft," Lynn said - they just don't want the office, which is only open on Tuesdays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., taking up space in the senior center.
Sands also expressed concern over a clause in a new facilities agreement regarding the county's ability to terminate a lease within 60 days notice. It's that clause that has Sands and Lynn hesitant to invest any more money in a building they said they fear could be retaken by the county. Sands had plans for a $280,000 face-lift for the center that would include extensive roof work, covered outdoor walkways and new carpeting, but he's put the blueprints on the back burner for now.
Fackrell said it's simply standard contract language and that the county has no plans to stop using the South Lake Tahoe building as a senior center.
"We wanted to move Veteran Affairs to that building because of the similar nature of what they do. It works well and it's getting the services to those who need it," Fackrell said.

Standing In The Clouds
Filed under: Uncategorized
From Counselor Senior Writer Dave Vagnoni, our guest blogger who's reporting from the land of China …
Just got back a little while ago from a VERY late dinner where I visited with distributors from four different continents. The table conversation was direct and engaging. It's true that a salesperson in Brazil faces different challenges than a salesperson in Japan, but the bottom line is they're both still trying to do one thing – convince clients and prospects that promotional products are a great way to advertise.
Certainly, selling direct was a topic of heated discussion at dinner. Here's my simple take on a complex subject. Hey, we know some distributors bypass suppliers. We also know some suppliers cut out the distributor and sell to end-users. This is reality. It's not going to change. The companies that display the most integrity are the ones that have the most staying power in the industry. Margins might be trimmed sometimes, but there is money to be made through ad specialties. If you're not making it, your competitor will.
Now, onto the rest of my day. It started with a breakfast meeting with Gene Geiger and Jo-an Lantz. I interviewed Jo-an on camera to get a domestic distributor's take on the role of China in the industry. You'll be able to hear Jo-an's thoughts in a video to be posted in a few months. Gene, as always, also had some sharp insight, too. His comments will be included in my Counselor feature later this year.
I also had the chance to spend time today with Philippe Varnier of Polyconcept and Trevor Gnesin of Logomark. I asked them what country could eventually emerge as the next China. Philippe said it could be India. Trevor said it could be North Korea. After our respective interviews, as a parting gift, Philippe gave me a pen. Trevor, meanwhile, offered me gifts – as only he can – that can't be written about in a blog. If you know Trevor, you can understand what I'm talking about. If you don't, he'll be at the ASI Show in San Diego. Be sure to say Hi.
Also today, on the advice of ASI's Ron Ball, I journeyed to one of the top tourist spots in all of Hong Kong – Victoria Peak. The site attracts seven million visitors every year and is home to private residences and four signature restaurants. The view itself today was incredible, although much different than the scene you often see on postcards. Today was rainy, dreary and foggy here. Being up so high (nearly 2,000 ft. above the harbor), it's as if I were standing in the clouds. Literally, it was like being surrounded by blankness.
ASI Publisher Rich Fairfield (who came along) and I couldn't even see the water from the highest overlook at the peak. We certainly couldn't see the stunning city skyline. Hong Kong was basically invisible. Our enthusiastic cab driver kept urging us to come back on Sunday when the weather is predicted to be nicer, even though we mentioned at least four times that we're leaving Hong Kong on Saturday. It's all the more reason for me to make a return visit here someday.
Before I sign off for the week, I want to thank everyone that helped me along the way, especially Danielle and Randee from Dard. What great people! They're down-to-earth, hard-working, sincere and very patient. I hope you've enjoyed the blog. I'm sure I'll write a few entries again sometime in the future…from wherever I am. Please keep in touch. Zai Jian!

Noodles, Novelties and Things I've Noticed
From Counselor Senior Writer Dave Vagnoni, our guest blogger who's reporting from the land of China …
On an especially hazy day here in Hong Kong, I had breakfast with Danielle and Randee from Dard, along with Ross Beaton of Australia's Logo-Line. Ross, who's a former Counselor International Person of the Year, has been trying for days to get me to eat how the locals do (that means eating fish that stare back at you). He's also been pushing Peking Duck, which is not on my top 10,000 list of things to eat. Sorry, Ross.
As a compromise, I did decide to take baby steps toward enjoying Far East cuisine by sampling authentic Chinese noodles this morning. Now, in America, a similar noodle dish would come with broth and maybe mushrooms. Real Chinese noodles, though, can come with exciting additions like fish balls. I opted for spinach noodles in a broth with some unpronounceable green vegetables, a bit of pork (I think) and, yes, a few of the aforementioned fish balls. While it was, I admit, a tasty dish, I'm still craving Italian food. A burrito doesn't sound bad either.
After breakfast, I went to a press conference hosted by Jeffrey Lam, the chairman of the Hong Kong Gift Show organizing committee. He had some interesting things to say about pricing, labor and exporting – both in his general remarks and to me in our sit-down interview. He told the audience – a group of about 20 members of the international press – that he expects labor costs in China to increase 10%-15% every year for the near future. He admitted manufacturers in China face serious challenges related to inflation and the rising costs of raw materials.
He also said he anticipates the U.S. dollar will remain unstable and may even "tumble" in years to come, while Chinese currency will hold its value, he believes. Here's part of my Q&A with Lam from this morning. There will be more to come from this interview online and in Counselor magazine.
Q: How can companies really know that products manufactured in China are safe and compliant?
A: Hong Kong has a very mature testing industry. The international companies are here and the labs are here. They are here to help the industry test their products. All the manufacturers do test their raw materials and also the finished product before shipping. I'm sure they can provide the buyers with the certificate about the safety aspect of the product. You know, this is something that the buyer should ask for and the supplier should supply to buyers. Hong Kong, like the toy industry, works very closely with the U.S. importers and U.S. toy companies on certain safety standards. I know all the toy products made here comply with the U.S. and international regulations.
Besides talking with Lam, I also had the chance to meet with several other show suppliers – some from the industry and some that aren't. One company I spoke to manufactures those really elegant greeting cards sold in the U.S. by retailer Papyrus. Another company supplies housewares and gift items to Pier One and Bed, Bath & Beyond. A third supplier – from Japan – showed me a bunch of relief-from-the-heat novelties that he hopes to soon introduce to companies in North America. The items were pretty clever and have promotional potential. If you want more details, shoot me an email at email@example.com.
Following the press event, I spent a very educational hour with Jeff Lederer from Prime Line. As he met with a factory contact, I watched him literally take a pitched product and create a design for a new, multi-use pen that I think is really going to do well in the industry. Jeff is also extremely knowledgeable about compliance issues. Our conversation will be part of the video I'm putting together, plus the feature I'll be writing for Counselor.
As I was walking the streets of Hong Kong today, I realized my time in China is passing quickly. With fondness, I thought I'd type out a few things about China that I've found particularly odd, humorous or just plain surprising. Here goes.
OK, back to my trip. Tomorrow, after some early meetings with industry folks, I'll be headed to Victoria Peak and, if all goes according to plan, I'll close my Friday with a trip to the night market. Anybody have souvenir requests?

The World's Largest Gift Show
From Counselor Senior Writer Dave Vagnoni, our guest blogger who's reporting from the land of China …
Find in your mind an image of the busiest ASI Show you can remember. Now imagine a show at least five times bigger, held on three separate floors in giant halls and concourses, with more than 4,070 suppliers – that's the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair. The grandiose event is billed as the largest of its kind in the world, this year hosting exhibitors from 36 different countries.
Suppliers here are not only trying to sell products, they're also looking for new and different items themselves. That means buyers include distributors AND suppliers alike. Promotional products are just a part of what's on display at the Gift Fair. You can find everything from vacuums to electric-powered butterflies to ribbons. The booths, which are largely pre-built for suppliers, range from simple cubicle-like setups to ornate 20-foot high toy castles.
In contrast to an ASI Show, you don't see much apparel at the Hong Kong Fair. I passed a few Gildan racks, but that was it. Electronics, though, are extremely popular here. While there weren't any products that wowed me, some of the coolest items were in the tech category. Among a handful of things I hadn't seen before were colorful 3D cell phone cases, waterproof cell phone pouches and crystal Bluetooth headsets (some pics are below). I also thought the "Push-A-Plant" product was unique for green marketing. With a push of a button, a plant starts growing out of Lego-looking base without needing water for an entire week.
Once again on Wednesday, I shadowed Danielle and Randee from Dard, filming them at their booth, on the show floor and at new product meetings. Buyers from all over the world (Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Nigeria and Mexico, to name a few places) visited Dard's booth to see patented items. Throughout the day, the product hunt continued. Danielle (who is living on grill cheese sandwiches, Raman noodles and other just-add-water delicacies) brought along with her to the Fair a shopping list from customers. She clearly has a keen eye for design. I've noticed Randee on the other hand (who has a much more adventurous palette) seems more impressed by practical items.
Their balance of opinions was evident during a late-day meeting with a China factory representative that showed off 50 or so products. Danielle and Randee made a series of snap judgments, deciding whether a particular item would play well in their product line and in the ad specialty industry. If there was a brand-new product they liked, they asked the factory for exclusivity. In other cases, they had to weigh whether taking on a product would make sense if a competitor has already started ordering large quantities. There were maybe three or four products Danielle and Randee really loved in the stationery line. I'm sworn to secrecy but I suspect they'll be offered solely by Dard in the near future.
So, to recap, while I didn't spend 18 hours in the air or get detained by customs agents, Wednesday was still an interesting and exhausting day. I can't stress enough how massive the Gift Fair is…and how diligent suppliers must be to assure products manufactured in China are stylish, yet socially compliant.
Tomorrow, I'll be back at the Fair interviewing industry suppliers. Plus, I'll have an exclusive as I visit with Jeffrey Lam, the chairman of the organizing committee for the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair.
Finally for now, thanks everyone for your emails. Please keep them coming at firstname.lastname@example.com. Although I won't be buying any designer suits per one person's advice, (there are pretty big discounts here on clothes) I will be following a suggestion to visit Victoria Peak for a great view of Hong Kong.
Until tomorrow…

Detained At The Border
From Counselor Senior Writer Dave Vagnoni, our guest blogger who's reporting from the land of China …
My second full day in China began with a cab ride from my hotel to the Star Ferry. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought I was involved in a car chase. The driver swerved, then stopped. Sped up, then slammed on the brakes. I found myself holding onto the seat in front of me just to keep my balance. Picture a cab ride through New York City with narrower and curvier streets.
When the thrill ride ended, I walked to a lower port terminal to take the ferry across Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai. The fare was incredibly cheap – $2.50 Hong Kong dollars or roughly a quarter in U.S. money. The boat was filled with people – many with newspapers or cell phones in their hands – on their way to work. The five-minute ride left me within a block of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre where the large gift show will begin on Wednesday. Attached to the Centre is the Renaissance Hotel where I met the amazingly helpful Danielle Ruiz and Randee Horwitch from Dard.
While Danielle went to her office for some meetings and show prep, Randee and I, along with our translator and tour guide Polly, took a van into mainland China to visit one of Dard's factories. The trip was mostly along three-lane highways and the writing on the road signs gradually changed from a mix of English and Cantonese into Mandarin-only. We drove through Shenzhen to Dong Guan (Dongguan), whizzing by impressive buildings, fruit and flower stands and tons of construction workers. The roads are well maintained and the infrastructure is much better here than in cities farther inland.
The factory wasn't what I expected and the quality of life for the 300 workers is better than a naive Westerner might think. The average worker earns 3,000 RMB or yuan (about $500 U.S.) each month, but has room and board provided. Workers live in a dormitory adjacent to the factory and receive three meals a day. They typically work from 8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and can leave the gated factory space at night to go into town. The factory grounds also have a soccer field and basketball court.
We watched as workers put together, at various stages of production, items like ergonomic mice, pedometers and music players. Every step of the production process is done here – from molding to printing. You can read much more about my factory tour – including my sit-down interview with a worker and my first time eating dried fish and an egg popsicle – in an upcoming issue of Counselor.
And now, for the highlight of the day. On our way back to Hong Kong, we, of course, needed to pass through customs and immigration. No big deal, right?
At the third of three checkpoints, we (our driver, a factory manager, Randee and I) found ourselves waiting an awfully long time for clearance. The light ahead of us stayed red. Other cars on our right and left were being let through. Not us. Every so often, a customs agent peeked his head out of a small sliding glass window. The factory manager, a man named Michael, assured us nothing was wrong. Then, all of sudden, another agent came rushing up to the side of our car. A siren blasted behind us. The agent asked to board our van so he could escort us to another checkpoint area where we'd be searched. Randee – a bit unnerved as it was– was forced to practically sit in my lap to make room in the car for this customs agent, who didn't speak English and didn't have anything close to a smile on his face.
We arrived at this other checkpoint and were told to get out. Our belongings were taken out of the back of the van. By now there were four or five other agents walking around us. Imagine what I was thinking. They're going to confiscate the camera, smash the memory card and break the tripod in half. Turns out my mind overreacted a bit. We were, though, taken to an X-ray room where all our things were put on a conveyer belt. That apparently wasn't a convincing enough inspection because we were then taken to a small room with white walls, four chairs and a table. The agents again opened our bags. Poor Michael had everything inside of his suitcase taken out and displayed on the table.
After this part of the search was over, we were told our van was going to be driven through a giant screening machine. We were asked to sit in this little room and wait…and wait…and wait. Finally, handed our bags, were given the OK to leave. Everything was intact except maybe our sanity.
The entire screening process took 45 minutes and the agents thanked us for our patience. Of all of the hundreds and hundreds of cars passing through customs and immigration on this day OURS was the vehicle chosen for a thorough screening. We must've been part of a glorious training exercise. Lucky us.
At least I'll always have a good story to tell – one that I'll be sure to embellish over the years. Hey, how many other people can say they were detained at the China border? I'll have much more on my trip tomorrow with coverage from the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair.

The Year I Skipped Easter
From Counselor Senior Writer Dave Vagnoni, our guest blogger who's reporting from the land of China …
It definitely was an odd feeling to leave Philadelphia Saturday morning and finally arrive in Hong Kong late Easter Sunday night. A delayed flight, three-quarters of a day in the air and a 12-hour time difference does tend to rearrange what seems normal. I wound up spending those "missing" hours catching up on some sleep, eating better-than-I-expected airline-provided Chinese noodles and watching in-flight movies (wish I would've dozed off during Gulliver's Travels rather than The King's Speech).
Fortunately, my bags made it to China despite almost being lost in Chicago. Apparently, the destination tag fell off my luggage in transit from Philly. A U.S. Airways representative was nice enough to call me after seeing a contact card and find out where my next stop was. Otherwise, who knows where all my clothes would be now.
My trip from the Hong Kong International Airport to my hotel – The W – lacked for drama and I'm grateful for that. The poor driver kept apologizing because more than once he flipped on the windshield wipers rather than the turn signal. He didn't seem to be a fan of Japanese-made cars.
My first impressions of Hong Kong were comforting. It's amazing how familiar things can look in a strange place. We crossed over a spitting image of the Golden Gate Bridge, dealt with the hassles of some late-night highway construction and passed sign after sign that read: Don't Drink and Drive. It did take me a while, though, to get settled in my hotel room. I stared at the shower for a few minutes before I figured out how to turn it on (see confounding image below). I suspected operator error when I couldn't quite get the plug adapter to work. Turns out it was just broken. I couldn't believe in-room Internet access was $40/hour. Then I remembered to convert the currency and the price significantly dropped.
TV here isn't quite what I'm used to in the U.S. There are versions of ESPN, CNN, CNBC and Fox News, but there's a clear programming time lag. I quickly lost interest in the Yankees/Orioles game when I already knew who won.
So there you have it. That's a recap of my first hours in Hong Kong. Here's what you can expect during the coming days: Over the next week, I'll be following around a few of the good folks from Dard Products. We'll head to a factory in Shenzhen, experience the massive Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair and haggle to get some deals in a local marketplace. I also plan to interview other industry execs who are here in Hong Kong, as well as some locals to get a sense of trade/labor challenges (and benefits) in Asia. I'll be taking pictures wherever I am for a slide show, plus I'll be shooting video that will eventually be turned into a TV-type report, similar to what you might see on the local news (that's the goal, at least).
If anybody has any ideas for places for me to see, or just wants to say hi (either in-person here in Hong Kong or from back home), email me at email@example.com.
And by the way…Happy Belated Easter!

Hair How-To: Glam Half-Up Bouffant
Here's how to 'do your best Bardot.
Want a sixties-inspired style that still looks totally stunning today? Of course you do. Hairstylist Britney Williams tells you exactly how to get this Bardot-inspired bouffant.
1. Part your hair. With the pointed end of a rattail comb, part your hair into a deep side part in line with the arch in your left eyebrow.
2. Tease the crown. Using your rattail comb again, tease the crown section of your hair. "The bigger the better," Williams says. "You can always take some of the tease out, but it's not easy to add more later on."
3. Smooth out your backcombing. You're going to want to use a small boar bristle brush to smooth your hair back, creating a perfectly coifed bouffant.
4. Pin it in the back. To secure your bouffant, use several bobby pins (the same color as your hair to disguise them) to keep it in place. Model Chantal Jones used Goody Colour Colleciton Bobby Pins in Blonde.
5. Set it with hairspray. Here, Chantal used Bumble and bumble Does It All Spray.
6. Coat your lashes with mascara and go! Use Rimmel ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara to really make your lashes standout as your final step. (If you want the full mod smoky eye makeup look shown in the photo above, click here.)
And boom, you look like Brigitte Bardot.

Call center in Arden to provide 100 jobs
Published: Friday, October 19, 2012 at 9:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 19, 2012 at 9:49 a.m.
Guthy-Renker Fulfillment Services is adding 100 new positions in its call center in Arden, according to a news release from the company. The new positions are being added as a result of having been chosen by a technology company to be the primary call center for customer service and inquiry calls, as well as growth of other customer service accounts.
"This expansion shows how opportunities open up when excellence is recognized and appreciated," said Walter Gross, senior vice president of Fulfillment Services. "Our team outperformed the competition, and we're delighted to be bringing more jobs into the area as a result."
Many of the new jobs will be eligible for the GRFS@Home program, which allows qualified applicants to train and work from their home offices via computer rather than in the company's call center.
Applicants may apply online and find more information about the job openings via the company's website: www.grfs.com/jobs .

Learn more about SVB 30 years | 30 causes
For the past 12 years, Entrepreneurs for North Texas (EFNT) has been bringing businesses together each September 11 to volunteer for a local cause to honor so many lives lost. Since Freedom Day began, local companies have dedicated thousands of hours in service in Dallas and North Texas. This year in honor of SVB's 30th anniversary, we joined 500 volunteers from 45 companies, including several of our clients and partners, to give Atwell Middle School in Dallas a refresh.
"It's a significant event that shows students at Atwell Middle School that the Dallas business community truly cares about their future," Pam Gerber, Executive Director of EFNT, told the Dallas Business Journal.
Atwell Middle School is a law academy that provides opportunities for eligible 6th-8th grade students to learn about the legal profession and interact with professionals from law-related fields. Once the 1,000 children, teachers and staff left in busses that morning for a field trip, our team joined the large crew of the volunteers who fanned out across the school to paint, clean, repair and landscape the campus. The SVB team tackled a large painting project.
By the end of the day, students, teachers and staff returned to a made-over, freshend-up campus, that we're proud to say we helped create. Our technology clients constantly struggle to find skilled workers to help run their innovative businesses and meet their ambitious goals, so we know first-hand the importance of investing in education to build a stronger workforce. Every little bit we can do as a community to contribute to a stronger, more vibrant education for our local kids, will pay off in the long run.
The turn out and partnership by so many organizations in the North Texas technology ecosystem, including our clients Telligent, Keste and Optimal Solutions, showcased the power of partnership and collaboration for a good cause.
About 30 Years | 30 Causes
The "30 Years |30 Causes" campaign was developed after Silicon Valley Bank crowd sourced ideas from its employees to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The company will host 30 community service events around the world near each of its offices in 2013. A listing of SVB's 30 Years | 30 Causes events, as well as photos, will be updated at www.svb.com/svb-30-years/ and www.facebook.com/SVBFinancialGroup Follow @SVB_Financial's community service initiatives on Twitter with #SVB30.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- In many ways, Donna Joyner is a typical realtor -- always on the go and always on the phone.
Joyner lives in a busy world of buyers and sellers and homes. Time is money, and if she misses a call, she could miss a sale.
Enter the Hawkins family -- DeWayne; his wife, Brittany; and their son, Laiden.
DeWayne got hurt on the job and couldn't work. They were running out of money and out of hope when a woman who makes her living with homes opened up her own home to them.
"I can't explain it," Joyner said. "There was just so much potential there for him to do so well -- he just needed a shot. He just needed someone to tell him what his value was, what his worth was, what his capabilities were."
Brittany Hawkins nominated Joyner for the January Time To Care Award.
"And she took us in and helped us realize that we could do it. And we were gonna do it. And that she would be there the whole way to help us," Hawkins told News 12.
The young couple took full advantage, registering at Augusta Tech, earning their GEDs and eventually moving back into their own place.
"I've just seen them believe in themselves," Joyner said. "I think is the biggest change. That they started to see in themselves what we all saw in them."
Hawkins says her motivation was as close as her little boy. She didn't want him to see her as a failure.
"And now I can teach my son that even if something rough comes to your life, you can always do better for yourself," she said.
Joyner says there's a lesson here for all of us. No matter how busy we are -- even if time is money in your profession.
"Make time. No matter what, there is something in your day you can give up. And you need it. I need to know that I'm doing something," Joyner said. "I feel like when God puts us in a position to meet people that are in need and we have a need we can meet, we're blessed. We have to do it."
Her buyers and sellers usually understand -- even if it means she might miss a possible home showing while she's doing something to help others.
"They're gonna wait for you," Joyner said firmly. "And if they don't, God's gonna immediately replace them with another buyer or seller. It's just how he works. He doesn't let us not help others."
Hawkins says she nominated Joyner for the award because she just wanted everyone to know how much of a difference this Time To Care Award winner made in the lives of her young family.

16 Opinions
Current version as of 12-02-2009 is 2.0.1. Updates for this application are released very slowly, hopefully we get one soon.
working link http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/B/9/CB943CBF-DDA8-4580-A711-88AC23763F0E/RDC201_ALL.dmg
new version : 2.0.1 : 11 august 2009
I was glad to see Microsoft released a version 2.0 of this application that was a Universal Binary, it was a big improvement over the older PPC only version, but still felt a little less thought-through then other application.
After the beta timed out a nagging message would pop-up everytime you start the application. When you do this 10 - 15 times a day it's very annoying and Microsoft didn't have a new version ready nor did they indicate they would anytime soon.
I ended up trying CoRD again. I had tried it in the past and found it worse then RDC 1.03, but now, wow, what an improvement! It seems to have some problems with the clipboard between the Mac and PC, but multiple sessions and all in one window instead of separate windows, how nice.
I am no longer using this application, I've un-installed it and totally switched over to CoRD.
Works well enough, but in a typical bone-headed microsoft move you aren't able to save your preferences, so if, like me, you use preferences that aren't default, you have to change them each time you run the app - starting to get on my nerves
Did you notice version 2.0 is around?
Just a few issues, mostly small ones.
On the Mac I use Appfresh to look for the most current programs, howerver, this program fails. The Version in the "get info" reports an older program.
Please correctr.
Also the link in the app to provide feedback is broken
This is a huge improvement over version 1.0.
Biggest improvements are seamless mouse movements, and the ability to have multiple connections at the same time (with proper support for default preferences).
No longer using it, switched over to Cord, which is quite an improvement to Microsofts Client.
Personally, I like this app. But there are alternatives now...I'm giving CoRD a try.

12-5-03 - After three deaths locally connected to the flu, there is disturbing news tonight. The two companies that make the flu vaccine say they've run out.
Local county health departments say they've either run out of their supply is critically low. Health Departments in Atoka, Bryan, Choctaw, Coal, Johnston, Marshall, Pontotoc, and Pushmataha counties are all out of the vaccine. Love county expects to run out on Tuesday while Carter County has a week's supply.
Grayson County reports that they have enough vaccine to get through next week. The two US companies who make the vaccine, Chiron and Aventis Pasteur, say they won't be able to meet a surge in the demand. The surge is the result of signs that this flu season will be a severe one. The companies could make more vaccine but that would take four months.
Local experts say you're best bet is to check with your physician to see if they still have the vaccine in stock.

After nearly a month on the run from Belizean authorities who wish to question him in a homicide investigation, John McAfee was arrested Wednesday, but not in Belize nor for any crime involving the death of his neighbor.
The former Silicon Valley software guru was arrested in Guatemala for illegally entering the neighboring country, Interior minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla told multiple news sources Wednesday evening.
McAfee bragged of entering the country with two journalists and one of his young, Belizean girlfriends in tow on Tuesday, part of a 24-day journey he chronicled on a blog and through multiple interviews with American media.
Interpol agents assisted local police in detaining McAfee in a ritzy Guatemala City neighborhood; he was then transported to an old, three-story building used to house migrants who enter Guatemala illegally, The Associated Press reported.
McAfee told media earlier Wednesday that he had formally requested asylum in Guatemala due to prosecution in Belize, where officials say he is a "person of interest" in the killing of Gregory Viant Faull. McAfee counters that Belizean authorities are crooked and will kill him if they capture him.
Faull, an American who lived part-time next to the beachside compound McAfee owned in Belize, was found by his housekeeper shot to death on Nov. 11. About a month before his slaying, Faull hand-delivered a letter to the San Pedro Town Council complaining about McAfee's security detail and his dogs. Two days before Faull's death, several of McAfee's dogs were poisoned, though he has said that the Belizean authorities are responsible for the poisonings and possibly the shooting.
The 67-year-old guru-turned-fugitive claims to have used disguises to hide in plain sight from authorities while proclaiming his innocence in the death of Faull, 52. MacAfee maintains that Belizean authorities in San Pedro Town -- where he lives with armed guards and, by his own accounts, a coterie of young women -- are out to get him for failing to pay a bribe.
San Pedro Town Police spokesman Raphael Martinez told the Mercury News on Monday that investigators still considered McAfee a "person of interest" in Faull's killing, but no charges await him in Belize for evading their questioning, Martinez said.
McAfee's namesake company produces McAfee anti-virus software, a pioneering product widely in use today around the world. In the process, its founder became a multimillionaire, wealthy enough to pursue an extraordinary range of passions, from modern art and yoga to antique automobiles and desert-skimming aircraft.
As the head of McAfee Associates, he staffed his business in Santa Clara with an entourage that included a group of Wiccans -- practitioners of pagan religion -- while he nurtured a company culture that saw its employees participating in a risque office game that awarded points based on where and what time of day they had sex in the building.
"I didn't look down on anything as long as work got done," he told The Mercury News in a 2001 interview, although he said he was unaware of the office sex tournament.
Long before authorities began searching for him, McAfee had been following his own path of unconventional pursuits.
After graduating from Roanoke College in Virginia in 1967, the British-born McAfee worked as a software engineer at Lockheed in the 1980s. He also briefly ran the American Institute for Safe Sex Practices, which provided identification cards to people who tested HIV-negative.
When that business died, McAfee turned to the growing problem of computer viruses and in 1987 founded McAfee Associates, which broke ground in anti-virus software, becoming an early Silicon Valley success story.
But managing dozens of employees wasn't something McAfee enjoyed, he once told this newspaper, and he quit the company in 1994, moving to Woodland Park, Colo. There, he built a 10,000-square-foot home with three guesthouses and four trout ponds and launched another enterprise, Tribal Voice, an Internet chat site that he sold for $17 million in 1999.
During this period, McAfee taught yoga and sang Vedic chants. He also reportedly rode around on all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, personal watercraft and lightweight aircraft called "trikes" in Arizona and at a 157-acre New Mexico ranch he bought in 2004.
But two people died in a trike accident at the ranch in 2006 and one of the victim's relatives blamed it on McAfee's negligence, slapping him with a lawsuit that is still pending.
McAfee moved to Belize two years later. In 2009 he sold the ranch -- reportedly his last U.S. possession -- to avoid paying damages for the accident, according to the victim's lawyer, Frank Fleming.
"He believes he is beyond the power of execution of any American judgment in Belize," Fleming told this newspaper, adding that he believes McAfee sold off his U.S. property so he'd have no assets here to seize.
But in a 2010 interview with the publication Fast Company, McAfee said he wanted to go to Belize to help humanity by developing a new kind of antibiotic from the herbs that grow in the rain forests there.
During that time, McAfee's fortune -- which had been once estimated at around $100 million -- reportedly shrank to about $4 million in the soured economy.

I've run the marathon three times and the half probably six times. I did the 1/2 this race. Overall, it was a great event and a beautiful day for a run! I'd do it again in a heart beat!
With that said, I've learned my lessons or my running partners have in doing this race. For the newbies, you need to arrive at least an hour to an hour and a half ahead of time. (This applies for any race, LA, RNR, Chicago) We arrived in the parking lot at 6:00 and parked next to the sports arena. We had plenty of time to jog over to the porta-johns and take care of things and go back to get ready. No stress! Because of that, we didn't need to use the dredded baggage check.
Things to improve on:
1) Corral set-ups were a challenge, we were able to weave our way thru to Wave 2 and the 3:40 pace group, but it wasn't for the faint of heart.
2) Seperation of spectators, runners, walkers and local community - For some reason LBM is the only race I go to where there's way to many spectators mixed into the finish and start areas. I always thought that LA and RNR-SD finish areas were a pain, but maybe they have a real use. I was in the Wave 2 area and there were mothers, fathers and grandparents mixed into the crowd. Very touching, but this could be really dangerous.
3) The bridge - We didn't use it, all you needed to do was walk about 50 yards north and cross in front of the hotel by the lake and cut back.
As far as the Papa John's Pizza-Gate, it was rather annoying watching people walk out with six boxes of pizza, that weren't even runners or spectators, but in these tough economic times I figured I had other things to worry about. Frankly, the pizzas weren't part of the race food walk-thru at the end, they were a stand-alone truck from Papa Johns that was distributing them. But, from a PR point of view LBM needs to have a chat with it's vendors that it lets participate and make sure everyone is on the same page.
Overall, nice job, fix the corrals,
This is my 3rd year doing the "Bike Tour" version of the LBC Marathon...I love this event! Unfortunatley, this was not my best year for time. Oh well, I still had a blast! As long as they keep this race alive, I'll be here every year.
I do have to say though...the way the event organizer handled all those people going over that bridge was a HORRIBLE IDEA! The first 2 years, I don't remember it ever being that unorganized. It's always been managable. This year, I don't know what happened? It took my group of four people 10 mins to get across to the vendor section which wasnt that bad, however coming back over the bridge took almost an hour because we had to wait in a line just to cross the bridge! WOW! After riding 26 miles, the last thing I want to do is stand in a line just to go home. Booooooooo!
Event organizer,
Please do not make the same mistake next year. Thanks!
I'll be back! Cheers!
I would really like to write a nice review telling every one what a great time I had, how wonderful the course was and how terriffic the organization was etc. etc. Unfortunately this is just not in the cards. The package pick was easy and although I was shocked at the way there were big piles of bibs sitting on tables it all seemed to work out. But that was kind of the end of the great. The expo was small and over crowded, with very few exhibitors. For a marathon of this size I was disappointed.
Fast forward to race day and I was glad I had stayed in one of the downtown hotels as traffic looked like a mess. So there we are in the corals and hundreds of people are pushing past us. I am looking around and there is the pacer so I know I am in the right spot. What is going on? Well all of the half marathoners are up front. Great! So then when we get out on the course it is jammed with all the half marathoners. It is fine until we get out on the beach and then it is a total mess. Runners are elbowing past, and I mean elbowing, walkers are three abreast. Come on! Get them out of the way start half marathoners 30 minutes after the last marathoner or do something but don't put them up front.
Ok we are past the half marathon turn off and there is some running room but where are the photo guys. Oh there is one and he is talking to his girl friend. No picture there. I am sure there is another photo op around the corner. Wrong! I can see the red sign but nobody around. Oh there he is eating a sandwich by his car. NICE! Real nice. So went the entire race. Ok I am coming down the finish line and where are the photographers!!! Oh there is one I guess I better run over and ask to get my picture taken. OOPS his battery is dead. WHAT!! Finally he is done and snaps a staged picture. I cross the line no photographers. OK there is a line up for photos after the race. It is huge because there is one guy with a camera taking pictures. But guess what after the pictures came out they don't have my picture. LOOSE THESE GUYS -- THEY STINK!!
I limp around the corner to find there is no food and wind up with a banana and an apple in a blue plastic bag. And I was expecting great. Silly me.
Sure there were good things. I mean how can you go to LA and not have a good time at Disneyland and Universal. We had a great meal on the Queen Mary. The race was ok but it didn't make my top ten list.
Hello from Eastern Canada. Great venue. Pre race announcers humorous and motivating. Volunteers great. Free admission to Aquarium, nice touch.
Along with the positives comes some constructive criticism. Many hotels/ expo info booth not informed in particulars regarding Aqua boat or if bridge open for pedestrians until evening prior to race. More music along the course would have added to the experience. Perhaps informing runners that if they wish to take a walk break, moving to the sides would allow those continuing to run, to do so. Food post marathon dismal and inadequate.
My first Long Beach Marathon:
1. Good flat course; scenic.
2. Weather was great.
3. Lots of water and great to have Powerade.
4. PR at 3:48! Yahoo!
5. Nice to have the students cheering at Long Beach State!
6. My Garmin showed 26.32 mi; pretty close.
7. Chocolate milk at the end!
Not so good:
1. Food at finish ? a little blue bag? You are kidding me! I asked for a second, and was told no. There is really a difference between people?s needs. If you walked, you might not need as much food for recovery. Check out RnR San Diego; at least they have plenty of food in the finish area.
2. Bag check disaster ? I won?t check bags on Jet Blue, that?s for sure! Check RnR San Diego; they do a pretty great job.
3. No TP?? - It was a little disappointing to discover there was no toilet paper in the restrooms after the race. Maybe you could do a re-fill during the race??
4. Walkers! Can we start them after the runners? And can the walkers be in one lane and the runners in another from mile 24 on? We were dodging them to the finish.
5. Can we get the marathon runners out first? The sidewalk is really jammed up along the beach. The roadway at the beginning too.
6. No cold wash cloths at the end.
7. No split time for 13.1 mi? Didn?t even pick up 2 of my times. I noticed some people missing timing chip pickups because of poor placement on the road; they would run along the curb, and the strip didn?t go to the curb!
8. Early mile markers were misplaced.
9. Expo ? sparse. Really?
10. I read in the comments that there was pizza! Maybe signs next time??
11. No clocks on the course.
In all, a good course, scenic and cool. I will return.
The course and weather were great; everything, no so much. The expo was small and crowded; people were pushing strollers in there and there was no room for that. There was nothing at the start except for coffee; no bagels, water, bananas, nothing; very disapointing. The end was a disaster. Barely any food or water. My feet were killing me and my bag was at the bag check; which was not on the finish line side which makes absolutely no sense. After running for 13 miles, I was not about to stand in line for an hour to get my other shoes. I ended up having to walk around the fence to get over to the side where the bags were adding another 1/4 to 1/2 mile to my race when my feet were already hurting badly. There were only kids at the bag check area; no adult supervision at all and they had no idea what they were doing; runners were having to go back there to find their stuff.
The course was good; but everything else was a mess, I doubt that I will do this race again.
I am one of the early start walkers and I was very upset by the comment that the guy that was talking on the loud speaker said about the walker early start. Saying that we take up the whole road and the runners can't get by us. I always walk on the very edge of the side walk. Regardless of early start or not I still will start in the front so I have enough time to finish it. If you want to complain about people being in the way why don't we talk about the specators. They were right on the course in the begining. I had to move around them which was super annoying. By the time I finished the race there a lot of the free food they give away was gone. My mother who did the half marathon got a lot more free goodies in her bag than I did. The pizzas that they were giving out was long gone by the time I came in. My dad who did the bike race said people who were watching the race were taking 10 pizzas per person. Here I pay all this money so people who are watching get all the free food. They should have a rule one food product per racer only! They should have to show the bib and have it markerd off by colors per free food item so you can't keep going back up. I was also really looking forward to the bagels and there wasn't any. My mother got pushed into a line that was going on the bridge and she didn't even want to get in line. Now why don't we talk about pictures. Last year I must of had 20-25 pictures, this year two at the very end. My mother who did that half had none. This is my second year doing this race and I have to say 2009 was much better. Aren't things suppose to improve and not get worse. I am unsure if I will do this race again next year. That comment that was made in the beginning of the race really struck a nerve with me.
This was my first Marathon and I loved it. There were plenty of hydration areas, people were friendly all along the course, I was even surprised by the amount of nutrition along the way. From others comments it seems they did not plan ahead and bring their own nutrition and such. What ever happened to being self sufficient? My only gripe, and this is for the runners, not the promoters, why throw your water cups all over the place? There are trash receptacles just after most of the water booths, throw it in there instead of littering the track.
I had a great time for my first and would definitely be back. Great job on putting it together!
Everything was great - until the end. After running the 1/2 Marathon - I had to wait for over 2 hours!!! to get my bag I had checked at the "JetBlue" Baggage claim! It was a total mess with no organization what-so-ever. Then, trying to get out of Long Beach was a nightmare. They had posted in the paper handed out at the event of when streets were going to be reopened - which didn't happen. At 2pm, all the roads were still closed - so another hour and half to go the seven miles back to my home! After all of that - it turned out running the half was the easiest part of my day!
I have run about 40-45 marathons and this one was very well done: a no hassle start; easy to find parking close to the start line; plenty of water and energy drinks; gels on the course; plenty of toilets; scenic and pleasant course; good fan support; nice medal; nice goody bag at the end with healthy food and water; Michelob beer garden for adults; and a great start/finish and staging area. Way to go Long Beach!! I tried to get in last year but it sold out. I didn't have anywhere close to my PR and it wasn't my day, but this could have been a PR course. Good job.
After skimming through some of the other comments, I am surprised that people have so many complaints. If you want to see a hassle, go to New York or Boston and sit and wait in the (literally) freezing weather on muddy, frozen grass for 5-6 hours while you wait for the start. Then you will still have to wait in a port-a-potty line for yet another 1 hour -- all BEFORE the start. And, these courses don't have as much support as Long Beach. So, if anyone is considering this marathon, please DO NOT let these negative comments deter you. Long Beach was a well-run and pleasant race near the beach, parks, lovely Long Beach State and back to Shoreline Village. What's to complaint about?
I respectfully disagree with Michelle West's description of the Long Beach Marathon compaing it with with world class marathons. At least you know what to expect at New York and Boston Marathons with their wonderful organizaitons, Long Beach by comparison was amatuer'ish with so many forseeable foo-pahs, that it was unbelievable. Boston and NYC have aide stations every mile and fast recovery of warm up packets at the end. Long Beach was a near riot, with a small footbridge to acquire your warm ups and NO organization to bag recovery personnel. NYC and Boston controls spectators and limits access to the starting corrals by bib numbers. Long Beach start was another near riot with people jabbing and jamming others to get up into their position. The porta johns at Long Beach ran out of toilet paper after the long wait to get into them. The finish was no better, with near riots to get warm ups on the other side of an inadequate bridge, and grossly inadequate food for runners. Michelle West is correct in that there was a nice medal and a very nice T-shirt provided to runners, but she sounds delusionial in her description of the other elements of the race. I have run Long Beach for the past three years and this year was a disaster by comparison. There is always hope that next year may be better (it couldn't be any worse). Lets hope race organizers will provide a discount in 2011 to the runners that suffered thru the 2010 events, we deserve it.
The good: The weather was perfect. Nice views along the water. Nice shirt.
The not good: (1) Driving in that morning was horrible, bumper-to-bumper or stopped. Could there have been alternate routes to the parking lots? (2) The course was almost entirely on concrete - very bad for the knees. (3) There should have been a very large area at the finish line for runners only, to jog and stretch and eat whatever their bodies required from a large selection of appropriate, healthy foods. Instead I could hardly get through the crowds at the finish line, there was no space in which to jog to ease my body to a stop, I had to go a ways to find room to stretch, and the selection of food for runners was limited to the small bag I was handed. (4) Needed more signage regarding dropping off and picking up of runner's bags. The pick-up was incredibly disorganized. Needed to have the bags divided by bib number, and a JetBlue bag person or two at each station to collect the bag for each runner whose bib number was within that range of numbers. So, 0-1000; 1001-2000; 2001-3000 (or in groupings that are manageable) and so on.
I was very disappointed in this marathon for the following reasons. The starting area was a disaster. Why have "waves" set up when no one can get to the wave in the first place? 6 foot chain link fences on both sides with no in/out and people clamoring over them so that they could possibly get to their wave...and then security telling those that did that to go to the back of the mass crowd. The pacers were going off of "gun time" and setting a pace that was totally unattainable if you were trying for that specific time. For example, the 3:50 pace group started so far behind the gun that the pace leader was running a 7:55 pace at mile 13...huh? How does a 7:55 pace equal a 3:50 marathon time? That's way too fast. The first 10 miles roughly of this race is run on concrete...and for anyone not used to running on concrete, it sucks. My knees and feet were done by mile 10 and I still had 16.2 to go. The finish was horrible for spectators trying to see you finish. The race had one whole side blocked from view, so you could only see runners finish from one side along with the throng of other spectators trying to view as well. The sweat check area was such a mess that there were some people waiting 2 hours to get their bag! The bags were just thrown in a pile and volunteers were digging thru them. The hotel we stayed at was on the course and there wasn't in/out of the hotel except before 5 am or after 10 am. So, once again, my spectators couldn't get anywhere to see me along the course. Those were just some of the issues that I ran into. Would I run this race again? Uh, definitely NOT. The water stations and aid stations were great though, and that's about all the good that I saw associated with this race.

The method described below by evitiello to burn video DVDs still works on Snow Leopard - I just burnt one successfully & tested it on a DVD player.
Sadly does not work under Snow Leopard. At least the Video-DVD ('burn a Video_TS folder') option just errors out with a second after starting the burn process. Now trying 'DVD Imager' and Diks Util to make a copy of my badly stamped Cosby Show DVD.
[Edit] Doesn't work too..
For some reason I can't get this app to work with 10.5. Burn keeps crashing or freezing whenever I try to add files to a project...
i've used this app a few times already to burn dvd's and it has worked beautifully, and simply. :) however, just recently i am getting the message:
Problem authoring dvd."
or something similiar. - anyone know why this is? (sorry i did not know where else to ask.)
I've only wanted a program to burn DVD's from video files twice in the time I've owned my mac. (Can't understand why the software is bundled, but that's another story...)
The $150 AU fee for Toast is completely over-the-top. But Burn fits the bill and at the right price. Does everything I want it to, easily and with no fuss. There's not a lot of documentation with it, but the controls are straightforward enough to not need much explanation.
Unless you need something complicated, I don't think you can go wrong with this.
Burn crashes on me sometimes, but it's easy to use and does the job.
I love Burn! It does just what I need.
I love it. Nice and ultra simple. No fancy crap, a small, very functional burning program.
It will burn video DVDs. is you already have a VIDEO_TS directory, select DATA as the type, and UDF as the disc type, then add the VIDEO_TS directory. if you have a typical video file format, such as .mpg, .mov, etc select the VIDEO tab, and add the video.
I farted about with cd after cd and search engine madness, all trying to burn my first cd. This software was easy, simple, painless and effective - and I now have a nice collection of audio cd's burnt with burn!
Thank you =)

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - A 4.0 magnitude earthquake that struck overnight about a half hour south of Lake Tahoe is the largest in a series of small temblors that have recently occurred throughout the region, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The 4.0 quake shook at a depth of 8.1 miles at 12:21 a.m. Thursday, according to USGS, roughly 13 miles from Markleeville and 32 miles south of South Lake Tahoe. There were no injuries reported.
A 2.4 magnitude earthquake also hit at 5:50 a.m. Thursday, roughly 13 miles west of Truckee and northwest of Sunnyside, according to USGS.
Thursday's temblors were part of a series hitting the region within the past week; as of Thursday afternoon, there had been a total of 11 earthquakes below 2.0 within 13 miles of Truckee and Lake Tahoe's West Shore since Jan . 18, according to USGS.
Several other small quakes have hit south of Lake Tahoe and northeast of the lake within the same timeframe.
According to previous reports, Thursday's quakes were the first in the region of significance since a 4.2 earthquake shook about 6 miles east of Truckee and 3 miles north of Incline Village the evening of June 25, 2012. No one was hurt in that quake.

Demographer Peter Francese, who lives in Exeter, has warned about the state's aging population pushing out the younger population and its long-term economic impact. "We are the fastest-aging state in the country," he said. "We're viewed as a fantastic place to retire.
