Two Doak Tracks in Michigan Great Intro to His Work
Having never played Bandon Dunes and with most of my travels focused below the Mason-Dixon Line and west of the Mississippi, until last fall I had not teed up on a golf course crafted by architect Tom Doak.
Lost Dunes at Sunset
That situation was rectified with rounds at three Doak courses - Black Forest at Wilderness Valley and Lost Dunes in Michigan, and The Rawls Course at Texas Tech in Lubbock - during a three-month stretch. I have to say that I now at least have an idea for why all the kudos have been thrown in Doak's direction.
Since hanging out his shingle in 1992 after years of work for Perry and Pete Dye, Doak has designed or renovated upwards of 30 golf courses that rank among the world's best, including Barnbougle Dunes, Ballyneal, Cape Kidnappers, Sebonack and Pacific Dunes. Seeing his company, Renaissance Golf, attached to a golf course means you'll be playing a track that uses the land without over-manipulating it.
Doak's "minimalist" approach is appreciated for its respect to existing terrain, a preference for shot-making skills rather than unbridled power, and economical construction that helps keep green fees reasonable.
Such is the case with the three Doak tracks I played. The Rawls Course - which was born out of a Lubbock cotton field - is an example of land used at its finest. See my feature on The Rawls Course at www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/doaks_work_at_rawls_course_exceeds_expectations.
I went to Michigan for a little more education on his work and was blown away by what I found.
Black Forest Golf Club
Black Forest is Minimalist but not Minimal
Doak's first at-bat as a solo designer is the stunning creation at Black Forest at Wilderness Valley, set in the northern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula in Gaylord as part of a links-rich area known as the Gaylord Golf Mecca.
Here Doak's work is minimalist but not minimal as the 7,044-yard, par-73 course (there are three par-5s on the back nine) winds though thick stands of maple, pine and oak en route to greens complexes and putting surfaces that are dramatic and sometimes extreme in contour. Opened in 1992, the course occupies nearly 400 acres and is serene and isolated. Players won't be hitting through tunnels in a real estate development because there's not a single house to be found.
Black Forest, which carries a rating of 74.5 and a 145 slope from its back set of five tees, is all about angles; players don't have to hit it super-long but you have to know where to place your shots. You can hit driver on almost all the par-4s and -5s (and maybe on the uphill 238-yard par-3 fifth if there's a facing wind) as Doak designed the course to feature one landing zone while tempting you with another.
Adding to Black Forest's assets are its bunkers (there are more than 100 to deal with here). They represent a "retro" approach that launched an industry trend. Prior to designing Black Forest, Doak traveled up and down the length of California to analyze bunkers on the Golden State's great coastal courses, then returned to Michigan and started to build bunkers in the same style.
Black Forest's opening stretch - ending with the aforementioned fifth - is a real test. Doak says that even a good player is likely to be a couple over par in the first five holes.
None of the quintet of par-5s is excruciatingly long, but all of them are better played conservatively for birdies and pars instead of eagles. Black Forest also sports a quartet of short two-shotters, which give you a chance to hit a wedge shot close, and two of the par-3s are less than 197 yards. Throughout the course, the combination of trees, sand, grasses and elevation changes are a veritable feast for the eyes.
Be sure to select the right stick to cover the pin on the 443-yard par-4 second, as the green drops mightily from back to front and a hole cut at the rear can play as much as two clubs more. The 166-yard 8th is the most-photographed at Black Forest as the putting surface is perched on a ridge and protected by greenside bunkers molded into the side of a hill.
When players get to Black Forest's amazing 547-yard par-5 10th they'll be wowed by the way the hole seems completely natural, as if Doak just found it in the gently sloping meadow and touched little. About 150 yards from the green are a pair of "goalpost" trees, one or both of which must be contended with irrespective of where golfers have put their tee shots. The further down the fairway players try to go, the tougher the approach.
The 13th is the shortest par-4 on the course at 364 yards, and its fairway bunkering creates multiple options from the tee. Warning: the bunker-less green is much trickier than it appears.
The 155-yard, par-3 15th runs downhill, but staring up at the golfer is a sequence of artfully positioned bunkers. On the 18th, the entire 500-yard par-5 - and every one of its 22 bunkers - spreads out in front of players from the elevated tee. The green is reachable in two with a solid drive and uphill approach, if you can stay out of the sand.
With its often dark, tree-lined holes and small, difficult green complexes, Black Forest can be intimidating, but its fairways are actually wider than they appear. You can definitely see the Donald Ross influence in Doak's design, with some greens crowned, others that slope severely front to back, and all filled with multiple swales and hollows that induce multiple breaks even on fairly short putts.
Doak, who is based just down the road in Traverse City, says Black Forest is where he started experimenting with some of his renowned bunkering concepts. "If I had design Black Forest all over again, I wouldn't have made it so hard," he said recently.
Black Forest has reaped kudos since the day it opened. Among these are "Top New Public Courses in America" by Golf Digest, "Top New Courses You Can Play in the United States" by Golf Magazine, and "Top Modern Courses in the United States" by Golfweek.

Lost Dunes
Up & Down the Edge of Lake Michigan
While you never spy Lake Michigan from the playing ground that's Lost Dunes - Doak's course in Bridgman in the state's southwest corner, the influence of the massive water body is mighty. Doak was able to fashion the track out of a unique dunes environment that had previously been a 250-acre sand mine whose scars were bared by the industrial operation.
These days there are no unsightly remnants of the sand quarry days. Instead, golfers will find foliage-covered dunes among patches of hardwood and scatterings of pine. Oh, and there are those Doak signatures: large, devilish putting surfaces and tricky greenside collection areas.
Lost Dunes is split in two by a busy interstate highway, with seven of the holes east of the road and accessed from the course's clubhouse by a tunnel under the asphalt. But the highway is barely visible or audible, as Doak was able - through thoughtful routing and the use of some natural dunes covered with large trees - thoroughly minimize the proximity of the road.
The 8th Hole at Lost Dunes from Behind Green
Lost Dunes, which opened in 1999, is an extraordinary course that truly marries the land to the game as the ground had been hand-tooled for ages by wind and water from the lake. It's carded as a par of 72 and plays 6,905 yards from the tips, and the use of different grasses in waste areas, bunkers and rough is memorable and minimalist - there's that word again.
The course, rated at 73.8 and sloped at 138 from the back set of four tees, is the main draw of the golf-only private club of about 180 members, most of whom hail from Chicago, about a 90-minute drive around the lake or a quick hop by helicopter.
The sandy soil Doak found on-site is wonderful, and little, if any, sand for bunker construction or the greens was needed to be imported; the designer simply put gentle brush strokes on what was already there.
Because the course was going to be carved from such an unusual plot of ground, Doak understood that Lost Dunes' putting surfaces and green surrounds would be paramount. The site had been reduced by all the mining to a kind of flat-bottomed bowl protected from the wind of the lake (which is literally 400 yards west of the 14th and 16th holes), as the landscape had been left smooth and level by construction equipment.
Aerial View of Lost Dunes
"It was almost dead-flat," Doak said of the property as he found it. "We needed to jazz things up to make it interesting. At a place like Pacific Dunes you don't need a lot going on. But this place was different." And jazz it up Doak and his team did.
There is plenty of room to drive on all the holes at Lost Dunes. Together, they offer plenty of charm, drama and beauty.
The tee complex on the 525-yard par-5 fourth holes rests atop a pair of dunes in the northeast corner of the property. The hole turns gently left, with cross-bunkers down the right side and dunes and OB left. The fairway is very generous, but the two-tiered green is considered the most difficult (and controversial) at Lost Dunes.
Hole Nos. 5-9 provide the sturdiest stretch, beginning with the well-protected, 243-yard par-3 fifth, then a pair of two-shotters (470 and 448 yards, respectively), the 603-yard, water-bordered par-5 eighth, and the 188-yard par-3 ninth, which is surrounded by sand.
The 11th is a 428-yard par 4 with a slightly elevated tee playing to a generous landing area with cross-bunkers right and left. The green is above the landing area and sits in a bowl with the nastiest bunker on the property at the right-front.
The 391-yard par-4 12th starts at a towering tee, runs past a huge bunker on the right and ends at a green that moves mostly from back to front. Here is where players will pull out their cameras at Lost Dunes.
Nos. 13-15 are snuggled against a couple of dunes on one side, with a large pond acting as a buffer on the opposite side. On the 510-yard, par-5 15th, the tee is elevated and on an island shared with the 10th green. The hole turns right and around a pond left over from the sand mining; the green can be reachable with the right wind and a brave line off the tee. Left of the fairway is the tallest dune on the property, with Lake Michigan on the other side shielded by trees.
Rankings for Lost Dunes include it being listing as No. 63 on Golfweek's "2010 America's Best Modern Courses," No. 63 in Golf Digest's 2007-08 "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" and No. 32 spot in that magazine's 2007-08 index of "America's Best Modern Golf Clubs."
At Lost Dunes, Doak found the soul of Lake Michigan's soft eastern lakeshore. Playing the course is both a privilege and truly unforgettable, and an illustration of the designer's burgeoning prowess and vision.

Radio vet hosted 'It's a Draw,' once subbed for Dick Clark on 'Bandstand'
He was a disc jockey for almost two decades at WISN radio, master of ceremonies on the old "It's a Draw" TV show with Sid Stone and the cheerful voice of afternoon drive time. But it was Chuck Arnold's one-time stint filling in for Dick Clark on "American Bandstand" in 1959 that captured Milwaukee's teenage heart.
It was a big deal, and when his Bandstand day came, he was flustered by the studio crowd. He flubbed his opening line, announcing the first record as "Lorraine," when it was really Bobby Rydell's "Kissin' Time." »Read Full Article
'A Raisin in the Sun' remains powerful, relevant today
"A Raisin in the Sun" may be an acknowledged classic now, but director Ron OJ Parson understands how daring and radical Lorraine Hansberry's drama was in its own time.
Her play about an African-American family's plan to buy a home in an all-white Chicago neighborhood reflects the early 1950s, before Rosa Parks and the Fair Housing Act, Parson said in an interview. The civil rights movement was still embryonic, and assimilation was seen as the path to success for African-Americans. »Read Full Article
Leonard Cohen brings meticulous approach to Milwaukee Theatre
Leonard Cohen graced the Chicago Theatre stage sharply dressed in a suit and fedora hat. As his gruff, commanding voice quietly filled the room, the audience fell to a hush. It was as though they were bearing witness to a life-altering sermon, enraptured by profound songs like "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah," backed by a nine-piece band.
Four years after that concert, Cohen continues to surprise. He's older of course, at 78, but these days his performances often are, incredibly enough, even longer, between 3 1/2 and four hours. And he's taken his tour to so many places, he's starting to hit some unexpected markets, such as Milwaukee. On Friday, Cohen will perform at the Milwaukee Theatre, his first concert here since he played at what's now the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 25, 1975. Mayor Tom Barrett has designated Friday as "Leonard Cohen Day." »Read Full Article(5)

Time to start for next year.
Happy New Year everyone.
The holiday season is a lovely time of year, but I'm still waiting for some winter here in NC. I want some snow, just enough to slow things down so that we can remember the fact that winter is a quiet time of year.
I counted up the projects and I realized I gave away five pairs of socks and three scarves over the holiday season. My stash of gifts is depleted and now I'm ready to start anew for the next year.
Here's one of the pair of socks I gave away. These were hand-dyed with natural dyes. I'm not sure what material created this beautiful green color, but it is a lovely green.

Rough estimate, by the critic's watch, of when Bad Religion began playing, hard, at the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage Sunday night: 10:01. Rough estimate of when the SoCal punk-rock band finished off its fourth song: 10:08. »Read Full Article(1)
Eagles take it easy at Marcus Amphitheater
The news flash from the Eagles' closing-night gig at Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater on Sunday night is that Bernie Leadon appears to be at least partway back in the band.
Eagles' historians will remember that Leadon, an original band member, exited the group in rather definitive fashion way back in 1975 when he poured a bottle of beer over Glenn Frey's head. »Read Full Article(9)

Shell Adjusts Domestic LPG Price

(HK$ per kg)
|Shell Gas – Domestic Piped-in List Price
(HK$ per cubic metre)
"Same as before, we adjusted the domestic LPG price according to the established pricing mechanism to reflect the trend of import costs within the review period," said Ms. Anne Yu, General Manager for Shell Gas (LPG) in Hong Kong and Macau.
For more information, please contact:
Maggie Lam
Tel: 2506 7341 Communications Manager
Fax: 2506 1029
The current pricing mechanism has been in place since January 1999. The price is reviewed every quarter. The adjustment reflects mainly the difference between the forecast and actual import prices for the past quarter and the forecast price for the coming quarter. Prudent adjustment is made for every price review based on the latest import price figures. An annual review of operating cost is incorporated and reflected every January.
Shell will continue to closely monitor the import prices, and will certainly reduce LPG prices through the pricing mechanism should import costs decrease.

A developing Asia emission trading scheme (Asia ETS)
This paper provides a model assessment of the role of developing Asia in the context of climate change policies. We diagnose the potential response of Asian economies to the imposition of various climate policies, showing that if we were to equally price carbon across the world roughly half of the abatement would occur in developing Asia. We show that such autarkic measures would be consistent with the policy targets put forward by the Major Economies Forum but would not necessarily be equitable. We thus propose a fragmented cap-and-trade scheme with a specific regional market for developing Asia, the Asian Emission Trading Scheme (Asia ETS). We assess the role of the Asia ETS on the macro-economy and international transfers vis-à- vis the standard case of global trading. Our results indicate that creating two large trading markets would result in small global efficiency losses, while at the same time generating more reasonable regional incentives and transfers.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mutlu Apartments Altinkum
Terrible hotel, lovely resort
We stayed in the Mutlu end July 2004, it was a disgrace and just as another review said - ideal for teenage tearaways! We had a lovely view from our bedroom, see photo. Carpets were sticky, and the music went on until 3 - 4 am, we have an 8 year old daughter, so we were not impressed. This was supposed to be a "Family First" hotel, but they did not put the young family first, just the idiots who like annoying people. The poolside was packed like sardines, with only centimetres between the sunbeds, so did not use the amenities at all. Will be going back to Altinkum as we loved the resort, but will never go back to Mutlu, and never go with Airtours again.
Brill i cant wait to go back for my 7th time. I love Turkey!!!!
we have been going to the mutlu now for the past four years, we had a problem with our room but it was quickly resolved!! The staff are all lovely and can't do enough for you, poolside entertainment most of the time by the staff and especially skippy. The rooms are basic but they are all spotless, going back again this year.
Loved the people
i have stayed at the mutlu hoteel twice both times with my children
and husband the first time we thought that it was brilliant but the second time the staffwernt up to much but the rep was fantastic she was called alma
Great for teenage tear aways
when we arrived the hotel looked good,but dont jugde a book by its cover.
rooms in desperate need of full decor,cleaning and furniture,there is a cleaner or cleaners only to be seen on departure date waiting to pick up her tip of which an envelope is supplied.
bed linen was not changed at all,towels only when you threw them out onto the balcony which was also dirty.
remember to take a kettle and toilet roll as none of these are supplied.
of a night time it becomes blackpool under a roof with teenages running riot until three to four in the morning.
make sure to shower before six on the evening as hot water will run out.
altinkum resort was a beautiful place with people to match they cannot do enough for you,recommendations to eat,crystals restaurant staff are fantastic with great food and excellent prices.a must place to go is the big nose bar eric and his staff were good for adults and children with a free pool table and free playstation for the kids and also great dancers with the kids.all in all a brilliant holiday but a huge let down with the hotel.
when i arrived in mutlu apart i luv it every bit the bar staff was very kind and pleasant and mete, tahsin are very cute and kind i luv them and i cant wait til i go bck next year with my mates
!!!! i luv tahsin !!!
Hated it!
Very noisy due to high volume of music that was from this and surrounding hotels. Music in every public area sometimes in competition with the TV and neighbouring hotels, lasting until the early hours.
Rooms in dire need of refurbishment. Ours included grubby hand marks and unknown marks on walls, plastic plates and bowls, white plastic type garden chairs and tables, electrical wires joined by insulating tape in cupboard under sink, the main storage cupboard.
The smoke alarm battery did not work but was replaced following complaint to rep. The curtain rail became detached and was reported immediately but was only repaired following a complaint to the rep 3 days later.
The main light bulb was replaced only on insistence the day after it was reported blown. The room had a view of the local fly tip complete with scavengers and a rather large rusting electricity pylon.
The plug and socket of the TV began to hiss quite alarmingly causing the TV to switch its self on and off. Immediately we reported this to reception (at about 11 o'clock at night) and were advised to disconnect the TV from its supply, if we wanted too.
The complaint to the rep was the following day when all of the above from smoke alarm downwards were raised. We were assured that the connection was made safe.
The 'garden' consisted of very wobbly and heavy marble tables. These were surrounded by tatty cane furniture, each in their very own patch of bare earth. Between these tables there was the odd remnant of grass.
We did see a table come over, but the Hotel staff did immediately remove the table as they realised it was dangerous.
The garden also had loud music constantly.
The cleanliness of the room did leave something's to be desired. The carpet edges had a thick layer of filth and dust. It appeared that her main duties were to make the bed and occasionally replace soiled towels.
Though on the whole the hotel staff are very friendly and pleasant in conversation and the shop was very convenient, open 24 hours, the staff helpful and pleasant offered a limited but well priced range.
Great hotel
did not have one complaint. staff were all great especially yucel and meral had a great holiday
Take care
still have the scars from the pool edges,un covered electric cables,no cover on childs pool drain with jagged tile edges,same on the balcony drains,plenty of loungers if you are up early enough,loud music til 4 or 5 in the morning,some of the music played around the pool made chubby brown look angelic,the list goes on.so if you have young kids steer well clear,but on the plus side they were very clean and the staff were helpful.do not be fooled by the descriptions in the brochures,the gardens were crawling with ants from the nests outside the bar doors,lots of the furniture was broken.every time i showered my bathroom flooded,the locks broke on the main door and was finally repaired by the night security at 3.45 a.m
Loved it
I just got back from the mutlu apartments on tuesday and i am missing them already!! My friend an i really enjoyed our stay there and are thinking of returning next year with the rest of our friends! the staff were very friendly and entertaining, especially, mete, tashin, skippy an ucel!! However, the apartments were small but we managed to get moved to one of the bigger ones overlooking the pool thanks to the staff at the reception! so other than that no complaints what so ever. cant wait to go again next year!!!

Around the island and around town
on Wednesday we drove north from Mesta to Volissos, a working mountain village in northwest Chios. After a terrific lunch of locally raised salad and veggies, we drove around the northeast part of the island on narrow mountain roads with breathtaking views of forests, streams, and the sea. After a brief stop at an ancient temple of Cybele, popularly known as "Homer's seat" (he was thought to teach and recite here), we cruised into Chios Town and back to the Grecian Castle ...

The Mastic Villages
Yesterday we drove to Mesta, in southwestern Chios, our base for exploring the mastihohoria or mastic villages. These walled, fortified towns were the center of the mastic trade, which flourished on Chios from the 16th century to the end of Turkish rule. (Mastic was used to make chewing gum, flavorings, medicine, and fixatives.) Mesta is dark but beautiful. Pyrgi, which we visited today, is a work of art - full of black and white houses decorated in the Genoese sgraffito style. ...

We Went to a Party and Came Home with Chickenpox
Afraid of Vaccines, Parents Are Intentionally Infecting Their Kids with Chicken Pox. Is This a Good Idea?
Most moms would say that's a good way to spread germs—which is precisely what Larsen intended. She is one of a growing number of parents worried about the safety of childhood vaccinations—including the shot to prevent chicken pox. Larsen opted instead to take her children to a "chicken pox party" after learning online that a like-minded mother, whose children were already infected, would let Larsen bring her kids over so they could be exposed to the virus. Since chicken pox can be serious in adults, Larsen, 32, says she wanted her kids to develop immunity now. Sure enough, within two weeks both had sprouted the telltale red pox and quickly recovered. "You hate seeing your kids sick," says the stay-at-home mother from Auburn, Wash. "But it made sense to expose them naturally."
Once a childhood rite of passage, chicken pox has become less common since the vaccine came on the market in 1995. Today, more than 80 percent of American children—3.2 million a year—are immunized when they are between 12 and 18 months old. But some parents, despite urging from their doctors, balk at the pox shots because they fear the vaccine may contribute to autism or other childhood disorders (see box). Experts say the vaccine is safe—and important: While generally not serious, chicken pox, like any illness, can be unpredictable, and, in a small number of cases, can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or even death.
But such concerns aren't on the minds of parents who scour Web sites looking for invitations to pox parties. Brooke Liebowitz posted an invitation to a party at her Flemington, N.J., home after her sons Asa, 3, and Seth, 1, broke out in blisters. But what she hoped would be a fun if infectious afternoon became a bit of a downer as one mom wrapped Seth in a towel and then rubbed it on her 2-year-old daughter's body as the little girl teared up. "She was really freaked out—my son looked like an alien," says Liebowitz. "It was a very uncomfortable hour." (But successful: the girl became infected.)
It's no surprise some parents feel awkward. "I think it's really strange and unfortunate that parents would expose their kids to something that can actually do them harm," says Dr. Thomas McCall, a pediatrician in private practice in Littleton, Col. "It doesn't seem like a good parental choice." Perhaps such doubts played upon the minds of parents who read the invitation Larsen posted after her kids got sick. She waited several days, but no one took up the offer. "I did have a few neighbors tell me, 'We'll stay away' " Larsen says.

Video purportedly shows extremist leader in Iraq
BAGHDAD -- A man purporting to be the leader of the Sunni extremist group that has declared an Islamic state in territory it controls in Iraq and Syria has made what would be his first public appearance, delivering a sermon at a mosque in Iraq's second-largest city, according to a video posted online Saturday.
The 21-minute video that is said to show Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State group, was reportedly filmed on Friday at the Great Mosque in the northern city of Mosul. It was not possible to independently verify whether the person shown was indeed al-Baghdadi.
There are only a few known photographs of al-Baghdadi, an ambitious Iraqi militant believed to be in his early 40s with a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head. Since taking the reins of the group in 2010, he has transformed it from a local branch of al-Qaida into an independent transnational military force.
Al-Baghdadi's purported appearance in Mosul came five days after his group declared the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the territories it seized in Iraq and Syria.
Aymenn al-Tamimi, an expert on militant factions in Syria and Iraq, said al-Baghdadi has come under some criticism since unilaterally declaring the establishment of a caliphate, in part for not appearing before the people.
"He had declared himself caliph, he couldn't hide away. He had to make an appearance at some time," al-Tamimi said. Traditionally, a Muslim ruler is expected to live among the people.

Thousands flocked to the WXTU concert on the Camden waterfront last year, as they do each year, lured by the country-music acts, the hours of tailgating, and the free admission.
Camden police also circle the date on their calendars, for the crowd can get unruly.
That June evening at the Susquehanna Bank Center, however, things really got out of hand: Hundreds of intoxicated people unsettled nearby city streets and some officers were physically assaulted. "There were also a significant number of medical runs," Deputy Chief Michael Lynch said. To add to the police stress, an officer on traffic detail for the concert was stabbed, though not by a concertgoer.

Refugees in Erie up nearly 800 percent
Khem Rizal tapped his foot lightly as he peered through the glass partition at Erie International Airport. Beyond the glass, a group of Bhutanese refugees spent their first 15 minutes in Erie searching for the exit.
"This happens all the time," said Rizal, a case manager at the resettlement agency Catholic Charities, with a smile.
After minutes of confused wandering, the 10 refugees, six of whom were members of the Sharma family, emerged from the gates.
Their travels had taken two days, Rizal estimated. They had traveled on five flights.
Rizal greeted the refugees in their native Nepali, but he held their attention only briefly. Three relatives emerged from the waiting area and embraced their long-estranged family members.
It was a family reunion, 7,700 miles from home.
About 3,527 refugees have arrived in Erie since 2003, said Charlotte Fry, refugee program adviser at the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, in an e-mail. The yearly influx of refugees into Erie has increased by nearly 800 percent since 2003, according to Pennsylvania Refugee Resettlement Program data.
From October 2010 to September 2011, the last fiscal year with complete arrival statistics, 90 percent of the refugees come from the landlocked Himalayan country Bhutan.
More than 100,000 Bhutanese fled their native land in the early 1990s to escape ethnic persecution and settled in camps in nearby Nepal. In recent years, many Bhutanese refugees have participated in the resettlement process and migrated to a third country such as the United States. Erie has the second largest population of Bhutanese refugees in Pennsylvania.
Other notable refugee groups here come from Iraq, Eritrea, Congo and the Central African Republic.
By definition, refugees must have a well-founded fear of staying in their country of origin, said Deb Pazmino, director of immigration and interpretation services at the Multicultural Resource Center.
Erie, with its low cost of living and easily navigable downtown, proves an ideal destination for refugees, said Paul Jericho, director of refugee services of the Multicultural Community Resource Center.
The city is home to two refugee resettlement agencies, Catholic Charities and the International Institute of Erie, and numerous nonprofit organizations that provide additional support.
"The word in the refugee community, especially in the Bhutanese community, is that (Erie) is good for them. There are opportunities here. They see people being successful here and getting on their feet financially," Jericho said.
Despite its many attractions, Erie is unlike anything that most refugees have ever known. Its car culture, suburban living and big-box stores are as foreign as its snowy winters.
"When I come here, I saw everything was different," said Devi Subedi, a caseworker for the International Institute of Erie, who arrived in Erie from Nepal on June 25, 2008. "We spend our lives in the (refugee) camp, with bamboo walls and grass floors. When we get here, we think we're in heaven."
New city, new culture
The term "culture shock" fails to adequately describe the initial experience of refugees in Erie. Most do not speak English or speak it in a broken tongue.
But the little details of life are often the hardest to grasp, Rizal said. The first instruction he provides new refugees is how to secure a seat belt.
"Everything was new: the culture, the systems," said Nandu Subedi, the brother of Devi Subedi and a co-team leader of the refugee resettlement program at Catholic Charities, who arrived in 2008. "It was a tough time. I struggled here for a couple months before I became somewhat used to the system here."
Erie's two resettlement agencies offer a bridge to that "system." Upon their arrival, refugees step into a safety net of government-funded and nonprofit support.
The resettlement agencies help them cope emotionally and financially during their first three to six months in Erie. The agencies find them a place to live, furnish it and even stock its shelves.
Each refugee also receives $1,850 for initial expenses from the federal Refugee Admissions Reception and Placement Program. Dylanna Jackson, director of the International Institute, said the per capita support does not extend far, and the institute often relies on donations to provide essentials for the refugees.
Refugees are enrolled in a cultural orientation program. The International Institute's program emphasizes topics such as maintaining a home, paying bills and calling 911, Jackson said. Refugees also work individually with their caseworkers.
Self-sufficiency is the resettlement agencies' goal. The U.S. government expects a working-age refugee to find a job within six months of arrival, according to the International Institute's website.
After completing the orientation program, eligible refugees begin an employment program, during which the resettlement agency works to place them in entry-level positions in fields such as factory work or housekeeping. Fadhail Ibraheem, an Iraqi refugee who runs the employment program at the International Institute, said that participants often excel in the program and workplace due to their work ethic.
"These people want to catch any opportunity for success," said Ibraheem. "That's why the refugees have desire and passion. They want to build a new life, a nice life, something better than they had before."
Refugees with limited English are referred to nonprofits, including the Multicultural Resource Center, for language and work skills classes.
Nandu Subedi said Catholic Charities routinely surveys Erie community leaders and health and social services providers to assess the financial and social impact of the refugee community.
"Till now, none of them have complained about the refugee population," Nandu Subedi said. "That makes us feel that these people are still welcome in this city, and Erie is still meeting the needs of these refugees."
Fred Rush, coordinator of community initiatives at Mayor Joe Sinnott's office, said Erie is well-equipped for the incoming refugees.
"We have great social services in this town, and there are so many that are set up to help our immigrant populations assimilate," Rush said. "(The refugees) may have language or health problems, but I've found, in my experience, they work hard to overcome them and by the second generation, the problems cease to exist."
An expanding community
Nanda Chuwan came to Erie from Nepal seeking opportunity for his two children.
"In Nepal, there's no opportunity for refugees. The life is really bad; there's no medicine, no good places to live. We came to America to change our lives from refugees to citizens, from existing to living," Chuwan said.
"If my children are very comfortable, that's my dream," he added.
After resettling in Erie in 2009, Chuwan took a job as a laborer at a plastics factory and volunteered his language interpreting skills at the International Institute during the evenings. When a position in the institute's employment program opened in October 2010, he applied and was hired full time.
Chuwan was an accounting teacher in Nepal, having obtained a master's degree, but his degree is invalid in the United States. He hopes to go back to school in Erie when he is financially comfortable. Despite being forced to restart his career, Chuwan said he is happy in Erie.
"Most of the people coming to Erie are Bhutanese, so I like this place, this area and this city," Chuwan said. "I know many people now. I have a decent employer and medical provider. This is my home now."
When Chuwan, his wife and son arrived in Erie, there were about 50 Bhutanese families. Today, there are 350 families, a total of about 3,000 individuals.
Chuwan said his son, now 5 years old, has quickly adapted to his new home and communicates easily in English. He started kindergarten this year. Chuwan's second child was born in Erie.
But many older members of the Bhutanese community feel alienated by their new home, Chuwan said.
Devi Subedi agreed.
"The old people have (culture shock) because they don't have their temple and cannot speak the language and always have to stay in their house. They have to depend on their children," Devi Subedi, said.
For that reason, Chuwan, Devi Subedi and other leaders in the Bhutanese community formed the nonprofit Bhutanese Community Association of Erie. The nonprofit seeks to support newly arrived Bhutanese refugees, connect members of the community, and raise money to build a Hindu temple and community center.
"They were following a long tradition of community-minded folks who want to start a nonprofit for the community they are protective of," said Robert Wooler, director of the Nonprofit Partnership.
Wooler worked with the association to file the state and federal paperwork needed to establish a nonprofit. The association achieved 501(c) status, meaning it is a tax-exempt nonprofit, in late June.
"Now they have to learn to be a good nonprofit," said Wooler. "They have the requisite qualities: earnest, hardworking and likable. Once people learn the purpose of the project, I think they will be amenable to it."
Wooler said the Somali refugee population successfully created a nonprofit, the Erie Somali Community Association, in 2011.
The Bhutanese association also proves a resource for resettlement agencies to introduce new arrivals to an expanding community, Nandu Subedi said.
"The Bhutanese community has changed a lot. It's growing rapidly, and the people are progressing. Out of like 320 families, 30 to 35 have been able to buy a house and settle here permanently. They have moved from a base pay rate to a good amount of pay in the employment sector. They have obtained the 501(c) for a nonprofit. (The community) has been known to Erie very well now," Nandu Subedi said.
Settling down
The Genesis program, run by the Sisters of St. Joseph Neighborhood Network, helps refugees establish permanent homes in Erie. Refugees are offered housing at affordable rents for one to two years, schooled in financial literacy and savings, and encouraged toward homeownership, particularly in the Little Italy neighborhood.
Sister Phyllis Hilbert, coordinator of the Genesis program, said new homeowners have reached out to relatives and friends to move to the area.
"These families are incredible because they are so work-oriented and goal-centric. Their primary goal is homeownership, so they can provide a secure future for their family," Hilbert said.
Fifty Bhutanese families now live in the Little Italy neighborhood. Hilbert said she hopes the families will rejuvenate the culture and values of the once Italian-American hub and promote homeownership in an area monopolized by rentals.
Little Italy proves an attractive housing destination for the resettlement agencies because it is safer than the east Erie streets surrounding the International Institute, at 517 E. 26th St., where many refugees were formerly housed.
Erie police Lt. Kirk Werner said a rash of assaults on Bhutanese individuals occurred in June 2011. Since then, the frequency of those crimes has decreased.
"It was almost bullying," Werner said. "The Bhutanese are passive, gentle people, who were being taken advantage of."
Devi Subedi's brother was among those attacked.
"He was walking on the street, and two Americans came and hit him on the head. He fell down, and they grabbed his wallet. They took $300 and his papers," Devi Subedi said.
To Devi Subedi's knowledge, no one has been charged with his brother's assault. Werner said many of the incidents have not been resolved.
Ibraheem came to Erie from Iraq via Syria on Aug. 27, 2007, to mixed reception.
Some people were afraid of her head scarf or assumed she was uneducated because of her ethnicity, Ibraheem said.
"My son was actually asked, 'Do you have a bathroom?'" Ibraheem said. "Can you imagine?"
Ibraheem applies her experiences with cultural ignorance and xenophobia to her work at the International Institute.
"I always say each refugee who settles anywhere in the world has a mission to do," Ibraheem said. "We have to approach these people. We have to tell them who we are."
Building a new life
The grinding of a power drill interrupted a peaceful May morning on West Eighth Street. The crew of Denis S. Construction, a company owned by Bosnian refugee Suvad Aljukic, was busy installing vinyl siding on a two-story home.
The remodeling job would be finished in a few weeks, Aljukic said. His crew completed 38 houses in 2011.
"The city is growing, and there are lots of improvements needed, so there are more jobs," Aljukic said, through translator Dino Music. "That's what I like to do, buy houses in bad shape, fix them up and make Erie more beautiful."
Aljukic came to Erie three years ago after spending eight years in Connecticut. He is what resettlement agencies consider a "second migration," meaning he chose to relocate to another American city after completing the resettlement process.
Aljukic saw opportunity in the blighted properties on Erie's streets. Despite his broken English, he has made a name for himself as a contractor, Aljukic said. He now employs more than 40 Bosnian refugees.
"It's a (new life.) You can't have someone from the International Institute follow you everywhere because they can't do that. You have to adapt. You have to learn," Music said.
Aljukic hopes to use his financial success to build a Bosnian cultural center and start a soccer club.
"We have parties, bring singers, make food and enjoy it. If he opens this club, that's going to happen, and Americans can see it and learn it," Music said.
As the refugee population continues to grow -- Nandu Subedi predicts similar arrival numbers in the upcoming fiscal year -- opportunities for cultural education will certainly arise.
"You can (already) see the changes in Erie," said Andrew Adamus, director of education and outreach at the Erie County Historical Society. "There are different restaurants that pop up. (The refugees) are culturally impacting the community. You're getting a new perspective that might affect the way you look at things."
Adamus said that a century ago, Erie was a city of immigrants, with about one-quarter of its population of foreign birth. Its culture today -- its ethnic enclaves, festivals and restaurants -- reflects the city's history of diversity.
Though still a small minority, Erie's refugee population may transform the city yet again, one airport arrival at a time.

Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5100 with factory installed Win8
I want to put Win7 on this computer and I have full 32bit Win7 backup disc.
I reset the computer to boot from CD (to boot from the Win7 disc), but the boot failed.
I then tried to run setup.exe from within Win8. The Win7 install started but then failed for "unspecified error".
I do not have Win7 32 bit repair disc.
What do I need to do? Will it work if I reformat the HD from Win8.
Second question. Anyone know if there are any driver problems using the Win7 OS on this Satellite laptop's hardware?
Thanks for your time!
Win 8 doesn't do a complete shutdown when you turn it off so it won't boot from the dvd drive. You need to hold down the shift key during shutdown to get a complete shut down. Win 8 has been very satisfactory for me. In desktop mode it's just like Win 7 except it doesn't have a start button. I find it a bit faster than Win7.
..any driver problems using the Win7 OS on this Satellite laptop's hardware?
I don't see any Windows 7 drivers for that model.
01-23-2013 08:12 PM - edited 01-23-2013 08:13 PM
After a couple issues I was able to install Windows 7 (builder kit) on my new Satellite P870. I first set boot to CD, but subsequently had the Windows setup screen freeze. After some research, I had to change the boot mode (you may want to try that for your first issue). I installed an additional SSD that I was going to put the Windows copy on, but came across an issue during installation. Apparently, it did not like my original HD, so I removed that temporarily for the install. The last issue I am still trying to get through refers to your last question. I cannot locate the correct Windows 7 drivers for my SRS sound and the keyboard interface for volume and brightness controls.
Are you Able to get back to the bios from windows 7? I just installed windows 7 on a second hard drive in a satellite p870. I was able to get back to the bios once by holding shift on shutdown but it hasn't worked since. When I got into the bios I changed the boot mode back to uefi so I could get back into windows 8 and find some drivers, after that I changed the boot settings again and went back into windows 7 and haven't been able to get back to the bios or windows 8 since. It goes straight to the starting windows screen.

Dear Tom and Ray: The other day, I stopped my Toyota Sienna behind a Toyota Corolla at a traffic light. As I held my foot on the brake, I began to wonder if the Corolla brake pedal was the same as mine, and thought it would make economic sense for Toyota if it were. I know the same engines sometimes appear in different models, but overall, what percentage of parts is shared between cars from the same manufacturer, and what are the most commonly shared parts? Is that front brake caliper on my Lexus the same one that slows down a Camry? Is the brake-fluid reservoir found under the hood of my Acura the same one that is tucked away at the back of the engine compartment of a Honda Accord? I can't imagine that every part is unique to every car model. – John
Tom: I don't happen to know if your brake pedal is the same as the Corolla's. There's not as much room in the Corolla's foot well as in the Sienna, so maybe not. But I know the brake pedals for the Camry and the Sienna are the same part. And that same pedal fits the Avalon, Solara and maybe other Toyotas.
Ray: So, in general, you're absolutely right. There are lots of shared parts for exactly the reason you state: Because it makes good economic sense.
Tom: Obviously, if Ford designs and engineers one directional switch and orders 10 bazillion of them, each one is going to be cheaper (in manufacturing and spread-out engineering costs) than if Ford created and ordered 20,000 of type A, 30,000 of type B and 80,000 of type C.
Ray: It makes repair easier, too, because the dealer has fewer parts to keep in stock, and will be more likely to have the part you need.
Tom: Finally, it reduces manufacturing costs. When cars are built from the same "platform" (that's the industry term for common chassis architecture, engines and transmissions), several seemingly different models can be built on the same assembly line.
Ray: Production can then be more easily shifted from slow-selling dogs to the hot models people want. And new body styles can be brought to showrooms faster, because the basic elements of the car are already designed and ready to go.
Tom: So this is the name of the game in car manufacturing today: reducing the number of vehicle platforms used, and increasing the number of shared parts.
Ray: Take Volkswagen, for instance. It recently started using a small car platform it calls "MQB." That platform is the basis of the Golf and Audi A3, and will eventually be used for the Jetta and Passat, and many others. In fact, VW says more than 40 models (including models VW sells via its other brands) will be based on this one platform.
Tom: So, shared platforms account for the biggest, most expensive shared parts. But part sharing certainly goes farther than that. Switchgear often is shared among different models. So the directional and cruise-control switches, the electric window switches, door locks, light switches, foot pedals and seat belt latches all are the same. Things you don't see, like ventilation systems, air bags and electrical infrastructure often are shared, too.

Convenient Lodging for Fantasy Fest in Key West
The Tropical Inn's strategic location at the midpoint of Duval Street places it right on the grand parade route and at the culmination point of the Masquerade March. We are a half-block from the Petronia Street corridor, the site of Goombay (a celebration of our Caribbean connection), which kicks off the 10-day event. Unlike hotels, our front porches provide "ring side seats" to the ongoing Duval Street pageant that becomes progressively more colorful and outrageous with each passing day.
[Read More…]
At 6 PM on Saturday, the night of the grand finale parade, we close the front gate to all but registered guests. A complimentary open bar with top shelf liquor and tantalizing buffet is available throughout the evening, and each guest is assured a premiere place on the Duval Street verandas for parade viewing. This feature alone is a $200 per person value!Tropical Inn guests revel in being an integral part of the extravaganza, caught up in the pulsing, vibrant atmosphere from the two front porches. They toss and catch strings of beads as each entry passes by "close enough to touch," while having the convenience of their rooms near at hand and the ability to freshen their drinks and take in the festivities just above the crush of the crowd.
Each room or suite accommodates a maximum of two adult guests. A 3-night minimum stay is required. Additional nights are available at a lesser rate. Reserve yours today!
Please note: Just as Fantasy Fest is a unique experience, our reservation and cancellation policy is different for this event than any other time of the year. Please call us at 1-888-611-6510 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll send you all the details.
More Special Events in Key West
Fantasy Fest is, of course, our major annual event. But there are other Key West events, festivals, and celebrations throughout the year, almost always something special going on!
We have availability for Fantasy Fest 2016! Daily rates ranging $465-560 (3-night minimum stay) include private parade party with buffet, open bar, and uncrowded viewing from our Duval Street porches! Call 305-294-9977 to reserve!

Mine does! She is so sweet and innocent when it comes to all of those (Santa, Easter Bunny, Elf on the Shelf etc). She has said that some of the kids at school say he's not real, but then she tells me that "they must be on the bad list and that's why Santa doesn't visit them!!!" HAHAHA!!! I hope she believes for a long time but I have a feeling she might not come next Christmas!
