Foodies rejoice at PA Gourmet expo
Calling all foodies, winos and entertainers — do we have an event for you!
I happen to fit into all three categories, so naturally PA Gourmet is like a little bit of heaven to someone like me. You, too, can indulge in the deliciously fun cooking and entertaining expo, Nov. 9-10, at the York Expo Center Toyota Arena.
Cooking demos and wine tastings and celebrity guests, oh my! Where do I even begin? Friday night's Grilling with Bacon session stars everyone's favorite pork product as the BBQ Stu's Barbecue Sauce team shows you how to think outside the bacon box. I'm also looking forward to the first annual Chopped PA competition featuring local chefs battling it out live on stage, much like one of my favorites TV shows. Meanwhile, you can tour the Susquehanna Ale Trail by tasting its locally made craft beers.
On Saturday, my main goal is to catch Chef Pippa Calland from BBC America's Chef Race: UK vs. US and The Food Network's Chopped as she cooks up a succulent veal dish. The So …You Think You Can Cook? contest will be going on at 1 p.m., with three amateur finalists creating tasty dishes using mystery ingredients all in just 20 minutes. There will also be a homemade pasta demonstration and Barcardi USA will host Mixology 101 to inspire the bartender in you.
Let's not forget about the more than 200 exhibitors. Food and beverage samples, here I come! I don't know about you, but I have a weakness for kitchen gadgets, and I just might get a bunch of holiday shopping done at the show. And I'll be able to browse (and drool over) new kitchen ideas with vendors like Advanced Granite Solutions and Jenn-Air. Can you tell I'm excited?!
Advance tickets can be purchased online for $10 ($12 at the door) or at area Giant Food Stores locations. Kids 12 and under are free. Oh, and just between you and me, you can get $5 off your advance Friday Premiere Night ticket (regularly $45) by using coupon code GOURMET. Wink, wink. This exclusive VIP night will be a more upscale atmosphere, featuring live music and special tastings and pairings. You'll also get a much coveted swag bag full of goodies and a souvenir wine glass, plus admission to PA Gourmet on Saturday. Um, yes, please!
Obviously PA Gourmet is more than your standard food and wine show — it's an experience. Will I see you there?

Thursday night on the way home from volunteering at the Community Theater, I stopped off at Blockbuster at about 8:15 in the evening. I was going to pick up a couple of movies since the weather that weekend was going to be rainy. When I got out of the car I realized that I needed milk, so I went across the street first to pick it up. Then I would be able to leisurely look around for the movies for the weekend. When I got back to my car, which was less than five minutes, a tow truck had already had my car hooked up and was in the process of removing my car from the parking lot. I ran over to the driver and said, "What are you doing." He told me that Blockbuster has had problems with the summer tourists on the weekends parking in their lot for the day and going to the beach and that they were enforcing their towing policy. That is all well and good, but Thursday night and being a loyal customer, who instead of going into Blockbuster first and picking up an item needed for home, is not being abusive to their parking lot.
I am a firm believer in supporting local businesses and was very happy to see Blockbuster come to the community. I have found through the years that a gift card is always a nice gift to give someone.
But this present policy of towing loyal customer's cars is abusing Rockaway residents who have supported their business through the years. There was no warning to locals. They just tow your car.
Times have become tough lately with high gas prices, rent increasing all the time, and with all the other evil in the world. You stop to pick up a couple of movies and a quart of milk and it costs you $110.23 "Cash Now" or they tow your car, and that will cost you more. Needless to say I did not rent any movies and it will take me awhile to recoup my losses, not only monetarily but being a loyal Blockbuster customer
Global Warming Warning
Dear Editor,
Now that global warming has been gored out by the Michael Moore of Earth weather prognosticators, perhaps some "out of the box" science is now in order. But of course it will not be accepted by the scientific men who get a lot of mileage out of "global warming" ...and profit!!!
Did you know that the planet Pluto is warming up, and it is the farthest from the Sun? Strange lightning bolts are scattered among the rings of the planet Saturn? And that the planet Jupiter has developed another whirling giant 'red' spot? Will Jupiter ignite to become our second Sun and cleanse the Earth of all living things? Maybe old Nostradamus knew what he was seeing after all in his quatrains.
And speaking of trains, I am afraid that a lot of us have missed the most important train of our life times... in the promotion of balderdash!!!
More and more reports are becoming evident as loud echoes of those who say that the entire universe is warming up... not just our planet?
The Kiss Principle will do well in saying that Mother Earth is now, and for how long no one knows, into its
fourth interglacial period... where all ice on earth will melt... just as a chart in Fuller's geology of Long Island shows.
Of course no one was around when the last three happened, but Fuller has presented his evidence very well-in his book of 1914!!! I have heard that many local geologists consider Fuller's work as a bible, which they have added their individual work to!
So I recommend purchasing the high ground now, and hiring an army to keep trespassers out when the water rises to anticipated heights!
As for myself, I have purchased shoreline property on Canada's Hudson Bay as an investment, and have secured floor space on the fortieth floor of the Empire State Building in order to rent boats for recreation and fishing. Featured will be a submarine ride through Central Park, with a stop at Tavern on the Seaweed Green Glass Domed Sponge Bob Squarepants Eatery.
For many years now the public has been duped into fright by warnings, the last being asbestos. These are created to get the public's mind off something else going on. Infamous regulations were created for some to make a ton of money... But you have probably not heard any more claims... due to many houses having rock wool insulation and asbestos sodding, floor tile, etc. Shhh! Is this spoken of at closings???
The latest is the new ethanol fuel for our cars and trucks and whatnot! I heard a one-time news report that when water gets into contact with ethanol a chemical called formaldehyde is produced... Aye! What happens to the fumes of this new fuel when it comes into contact with our delicate atmosphere and sunlight???
How about our science man Steve Yaegar getting on this report... that was killed! ...Oops! ...I mean discarded in file thirteen!
Perhaps we should start emitting nitrous oxide from vehicle exhausts once again, so we all could laugh again!!!
It seems that our government and politicians never run out of the old proverbial wool to look for votes. On merit, they ain't worth the waste of the world's oxygen supply!!!
It has been estimated that about four hundred feet of new water will be added to the earth. That is not much when it was stated that the greatest amount of water will be concentrated on both sides of the equator or zero degrees latitude. How much will accumulate at forty degrees north latitude, where we are located???
Leave Dog Owners Alone
Dear Editor,
I can't help but wonder about the priorities of law enforcement in the Rockaways.
I read of the horrible mugging and attacks on Beach 120 Street by wandering young men of the St. John's School for Boys, who have emotional problems but are free to roam our streets.
I have no objection to having such a group home in the Rockaways, but it is incumbent on the authorities running this facility, to see that their residents are not out on the streets, weapons in hand, threatening innocent pedestrians out for a summer walk. Somebody, somewhere is not doing his or her job. Curfews are either too late and supervision is obviously, non-existent. Has anyone examined carefully what is going on inside the St. John's home. I have read that the residents are neglected or abused boys from 8 to 21 years of age. Obviously, judging by the recent incident, they are not being monitored carefully. I, indeed, feel threatened now...more by this facility than any other on our peninsula.
Where are the police? Probably on the boardwalk threatening the dog owners with huge tickets for "breaking the law."
A young woman outside the Surfside housing told me a policeman threatened her with a $165 dollar fine for holding her tiny puppy snuggled to her chest on the boardwalk.
Wouldn't the officer's time be better spent observing the young men hanging out on Rockaway Beach Boulevard and Beach 110 Street....spillover from the St. John's home?
Also.... apparently the police have decided not to punish the bike riders who speed on the boardwalk all day long, despite the posted rule which gives them designated hours to ride. No one gives them warnings or tickets.
It appears that dog-owners are the targeted victims of this police harassment. They are all over....watching, warning and ticketing.
No tickets are given to the lifeguards who speed up the streets and park their vehicles illegally with an orange T-shirt on the windshield. No tickets are given to the homeowners who throw their garbage, bread, pizza crusts, etc. on to the beach, attracting pigeons and possibly opossums and rats.
No one tickets to the homeless woman who curses violently at passersby with her cart full of cans and garbage.
No one tickets the cursing wild women in Waldbaum's who screamed on Tuesday night, cursing for 10 solid minutes.
There's something rotten in the state of Rockaway....and it's not the dogs or dog owners. The police should be sniffing out where the true problems are festering and leave us law-abiding dog lovers alone.
'Pushing Off' Responsibilities At Roy Reuther Houses
The following letter was sent to Maureen Murphy, Deputy General Counsel, The Department for the Aging.
Dear Deputy General Counsel Murphy,
With regard to my letter of February 17 to Mayor Bloomberg, which he has pushed off onto you for response. This truly shows how much concern he personally has for Senior Citizens and the Handicapped of this city.
This letter was in response to the "Indian Giving" situation by Government Agencies and Politicians, regarding the Roy Reuther Houses at 711 Seagirt Avenue in Far Rockaway. These houses are four interconnecting buildings, containing 900 apartments, on oceanfront property, with a private beach. They were built in the 1970's as a Mitchell Lama Project, built with Government loans. The buildings were to be rented only to Senior Citizens and the Handicapped. It seems as part of the double-dealing by those involved, that after 20-25 years passing, and the mortgage being paid, the owners no longer had to rent exclusively to Seniors and the Handicapped, but would be going "Private," thus eliminating the Roy Reuther Houses as Senior and Handicapped housing.
I would bet my life savings that if Mayor Bloomberg's mother was living here at Roy Reuther, he would be shouting at the top of his lungs to stop this complex from being taken away from the Seniors and the Handicapped. As this doesn't concern his mother, but someone else's mother, it's not his problem. Excuse me, isn't he Mayor of all the City's people?
I wonder at the time of these agreements, if the General Public was made aware of the golden goose to be hatched in 20-25 years?
As apartments become available, they will no longer be rented exclusively to Senior Citizens and the Handicapped, but to anyone who can pay the new doubled market value rent.
Oh! By the way, the Seniors and the Handicapped who haven't kicked the bucket will be allowed to remain as residents. They wouldn't have to pay the additional rent, as rents have virtually doubled, but not to worry because with the new Section Eight vouchers given to them, the tax-paying public will pay the difference, almost $500 a month or more, per apartment.
I also wrote to U.S. Senator Charles Schumer about this, and he pushed it off to State Senator Malcolm A. Smith (who has done nothing). Senator Hillary Clinton's response to my letter was to push it off to City Council Member James Sanders, Jr. (who has done nothing). There seems to be a lot of pushing off going on.
It seems to me most strange that an official of the Department of the Aging seems to show no concern that housing specifically built for Seniors (the wall electrical sockets are three feet high off the floor, so a Senior doesn't have to bend down to plug in a lamp, and many other features to help them live a safer life) has been taken away. It seems you have joined the ranks of the Indian Givers.
We are becoming more like the Eskimos, who take their aged, put them on the ice-flow, and wave "Bye-Bye."
Two Realtors' Point Of View
Dear Editor,
As local realtors who have been in business for over 20 years, we have been asked to voice our opinions with reference to the proposed re-zoning of Belle Harbor.
We want to make it clear that we are not advocating continued construction of so-called "McMansions." We do believe, however, that the proposed R2A zoning would be far too restrictive, causing property values to diminish.
Buyers very often buy homes that have the potential to add living space. If you take that potential away because of a zoning change you will decrease the value of the property.
According to three local architects that we have consulted, R2A zoning (the most restrictive zoning in NYC) allows your house to occupy only 30% of your lot and restricts the height to 21 feet. Since the majority of homes, if not all, occupy a minimum of 30% of their lots, expansion of any kind would not be permitted. If your home is destroyed by fire or a natural disaster it could not be re-built to its original dimensions if R2A is in effect.
The beautiful homes that have been built recently, such as the two on Neponsit Avenue and Beach 144 Street, and the new homes at the site of the plane crash on Beach 131 Street, could not have been constructed under R2A zoning. These homes have increased property values in those locations.
We have been questioned by many homeowners who have found the guidelines pertaining to R2A zoning both confusing and contradictory. We urge all homeowners who need further information or clarification to contact William Gati, President of the Queens Architect Association, at (718) 805-2797, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We have been advised that there will be another meeting on this subject in September or October. We urge everyone to attend.
Again, we want to emphasize that we are not in favor of people who are abusing the building codes and finding loopholes in order to overbuild their houses.
Perhaps there could be some modification to the current building codes that would curb these abuses, yet still be acceptable to everyone.
DOT Turns Shore Front
Into Artwork
Dear Editor,
Well... Rockaway has been screwed once more, this time by the Department of Transportation. Have you seen the new modern art project that is now Shore Front Parkway? White lines, yellow lines, straight lines and slanted lines as well as a bike path, all to supposedly make the Parkway safer.
Before 7 a.m. on Saturday, the drawing began and by Sunday morning, the north side of Shore Front Parkway looked like a modern painting. I don't know who the geniuses were who approved this disaster, but I cannot believe that it would not have been less expensive to put two or three traffic lights between 91st Street and 73rd Street, and leave the roadway with two lanes for driving the way it was meant to be.
It is unfortunate that young children riding their bikes were killed because of drag racing. I can only guess how their families feel, but not all drivers are at fault. There is no way to know if making the parkway one way is going to stop children from darting out from between parked cars, whether running or bike riding, and we shouldn't all have to pay for the errors of a few drivers.
The problem could have been eliminated by the traffic lights. I don't think the new arrangement is going to help because as I drove west on the Parkway today, there were cars double parked, and people just crossing wherever and bike riders all over. You had to have your eyes in a million places, watching that you didn't go over the yellow lines and watching that the riders did not get too close to your car.
It is true that we must all co-exist, but I do believe that in this case the car drivers are getting the short end of the stick and it's not fair. Shore Front Parkway is the only good road in all of Rockaway and that has been taken away from us.
By the way, have you seen all the parking on the south side of Shore Front, directly under the No Parking signs, and not a ticket in sight!!!

Very nice and clean apartment near the metro Line Intendente. Lovely little balcony with a beautiful view especially when the Sun sets in the evening. Close to metro, bus and tramline. 10-15 minutes walk to the city center of Lisbon and Rua Augusta. There is a supermarket ( Lidl) 200 meters from the apartment.
The apartment is located on the top of a small but very steep hill, so it can be a tough walk up to the apartment.
We only saw Nuno at the day of our arrivel, but he was helpful through e-mail, and available throughout the whole day, if we had any questions.
The only thing is that the head pillows are either very hard and high, or very low and soft. Maybe a pillow in between would be nice. But all in all we had a very nice
stay, and the apartment is highly recommendable. We wouldn't hesitate to rent the apartment another time, if we one day are going to Lisbon again.

Very nice apartment (once you get up the hill..:)) !!Thanks, Nuno, for calling a taxi for us. We arrived at the airport in time...had a wonderful stay in Lisboa.
We had a great time in Lisbon. The appartement is very nice and has a beautiful view from the balcony, overlooking the whole of Lisbon. Nuno is a gentle host. The appartment is fully equipped and nicely renovated! It is a big of a climb, but that is good for burning calories after all the good food Lisbon has to offer. We can definately recommed to stay here for a few days or a whole week!
Nice location, beautiful view and fully renovated rooms. Bit of a steep climb up, but for us it was on walking distance from the centre.
Look no further, you can't possibly do better than Nuno's apartment in Lisbon, it is just beautiful. I stayed for 2 1/2 weeks so my experience was a thorugh one. Communication with Nuno and checking in was excellent. The apartment is modern (new I think) and tastefully decorated. It is spacious with two bedrooms and two comfortable double beds, and is really quiet, you will not hear a sound and will sleep so well. There is a small balcony and an inspiring view over the warm red-tiled roofs of Lisbon, that just lifts you up all the time. It was too cold in February to sit on the balcony so I really envy those of you staying in warmer months - please raise a glass of wine for me! The area of Graca is also excellent. I loved Graca withs its miradors - the one by the church has a kiosk serving drinks and the best sunset view in Lisbon - Graca has great restaurants, bakeries, and cafes. Try the Via Graca restaurant just a couple of 100 yrds away from the apartment for excellent service and views and good food too! There is also a great small restaurant (I forget the name - sorry!) and also a takeaway by the Tram stop (the restaurant is opposite the stop). Graca has a real authentic village feel and is relaxed and friendly, I would have been happy to just holiday there. The legendary 28 Tram from Graca will bring you up and down the hill to visit the rest of Lisbon. If you have not been to Lisbon - go, Now! It is a beautiful city with perhaps the friendliest people in Europe. I totally recommend Nuno's apartment. I will go back. It is not an apartment you simply want to go back to, it is an apartment you really wish to go back to! I will recommend it to my family and friends... and I really hope I will get to return before long! As they say in Portugal... Obrigado!!!
Beautiful view, awesome flat, overall a very nice stay!
It is quite a climb, from the metro station to this apartment, but absolutely worth it!
The apartment has plenty of room for 4 people to move about in, and was absolutely spotless. We have rented apartments all over the world, and this one was by far the cleanest, ever.
A fully equipped kitchen, and the view, this lovely view! Breathtaking! Getting and leaving the key was a breeze, meeting the owner was short and efficient, WiFi worked well, area was pretty quiet, in short, a perfect place to stay, especially for this price.
Lovely appartment, very clean and spacious, well equipped and everything looks as good as new. Cute little balcony with a great view over Lisbon. Located in a really narrow, small street it was a bit hard for us to find, so make sure to bring a detailed map.
The area is very charming, local and quiet, but it's only a 15 min. walk downhill to the city-center. Tram 28 runs close by and there are two metro stations in the area as well.
If you plan to go partying in Barro Alto it is a bit far to walk at night when the metro and trams are not running, but if you dont mind paying for a cap it's only a short drive.
The appartment is located on top of a hill, so you can't avoid doing a lot of walking up and down - so if you have any leg problems this is not the place for you.
I definitely recommend this appartment for a stay in Lisbon!
Really good apartment for 4 people, Super service by Nuno and family. Very clean and with everything you need for a nice stay in Lisbon. I will book this again without any problems
100% to be recommended! The apmnt is top, all new, very clean, spacious, quiet, wonderful view from the balcony over Lisboa, light throughout all rooms, yet heat resistant. Host is very friendly and ready to help, although his English is poor, he sends his sun to communicate. Thank you Nuno, if we will have the chance we will always com back again.

Most people will see a nice campaign-style picture featuring the current Prime Minister.
What anyone seriously interested in defence of the north will see is:
1. This exercise took place in August when four little old ladies with severe arthritis could operate fairly easily in the Arctic.
Try working there in January, especially with a diesel electric submarine that needs air to breathe and the sea is clogging with thick ice.
2. The aircraft are so far away from any fuel supplies they could only form up for this picture if each was carrying three additional fuel tanks. As a result they are carrying shag-all in the way of ordnance.

James Herrick, professor of communication and chair of the department at Hope College, has had an essay published examining the way that the controversy surrounding the English Deists' challenging of church doctrine in 18th century England influenced the framers of the Bill of Rights.
Herrick's article, "The English Deists' Argument
for Freedom of Expression: Religious Inquiry and the First
Amendment," has been published in the 1996 edition of the
"Free Speech Yearbook," recently released by the Southern
Illinois University Press.
The essay argues that Constitutional framers
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were influenced by the
English Deists of the early 18th century as they developed
their argument for freedom of expression as it appears in
the First Amendment, and that freedom of expression was
inseparably linked with freedom of religious inquiry for the
"Thus the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of
religion is not so much a prohibition on the establishment
of a state church as it is a guarantee of the citizen's
right to critically explore and talk about religious
questions generally," Herrick said.
The English Deists challenged the Church of
England's doctrine that biblical accounts of miracles were
literally true. The Deists challenged the church's teaching
despite the potential of imprisonment.
Herrick has been conducting research on the
English Deists and the "miracles controversy" they prompted
since working on his dissertation for the doctorate he
completed in 1986. He has received support for his research
through a variety of grants and awards, including a
prestigious "Summer Stipend" awarded by the National
Endowment for the Humanities in 1992. His book on the
topic, "The Radical Rhetoric of the English Deists: The
Discourse of Skepticism, 1680-1750," was published earlier
this year.

Human eyes with a certain beady, wandering appearance, associated with a predisposition to developing cancer. By looking at a person with cancer eyes, one can just tell that someone has "pissed in his/her gene pool". Cancer eyes are most easily identifiable in people with brown eyes, however blue or green cancer eyes have been known to exist.
"That dude has some serious cancer eyes." Steve Urkel's girlfriend, Myra, from the hit family sitcom, Family Matters had a textbook case of cancer eyes. Sadly, the actress playing her character died of cancer.

For you treatment-free beekeepers out there, how is your winter progressing? Is the weather better or worse than usual? Lost hives? Feeding? Mishaps?
Winter here is going swimmingly. I wouldn't say it is as mild as last winter, but pretty close thus far. A couple more dips into the teens, but not the usual drops down in the single digits for the last two winters. No ice storms. No snow of note. But also no dandelions blooming all winter like we had last year either.
On the mishaps front, while I was gone over Christmas, our trampoline blew across the yard and knocked over two of my hives. They are back together, both seem to have eaten much of their stores while they were strewn about the yard.
No deadouts thus far.
Preparing for spring, trimmed three of my deep queen castle's down to mediums. I need to expand my collection of mediums significantly. I have no loose boxes but plenty of frames. Looks like it is time to build some more.
Already having people contact me about purchasing nucs. I'm glad they are getting an earlier start on it this year. Looking forward to refining my technique on raising queens and nucs. One thing to avoid this year, last year, I collected brood from outyard hives and brought it back to my main yard. It seems like most of the bees flying around ended up in one nuc. Need to figure out how to avoid that. Perhaps rotating nucs for a few days to spread the bees around. Perhaps not delivering all those frames of brood to the same batch of mating nucs.
Tell me how you all are faring.

Utility companies try to reduce risk of electrical fires
PEYTON, Colo. - Several recent fires in Southern Colorado have been electrical, but utility companies said they work regularly to reduce them.
Darryl Edwards, with Mountain View Electric Association, said the company conducts continual inspections in its coverage areas. Distribution lines get checked on a three-year rotation basis.
"We use an infrared imaging equipment to look for hot spots within equipment that gives us some indication of whether it has a potential to fail or not," Edwards said.
He said crews know what to look for and they seek visual signs like loose connections.
The company also performs vegetation control, keeping its substation away from grass. Instead, the ground is covered with gravel.
A third strategy is regular tree-trimming, to keep branches away from the power lines. Mountain View has continual, scheduled tree-trimmings and it also responds to calls from customers who notice branches growing too close to or falling into power lines.
Colorado Springs also practices tree-trimming, vegetation control and inspections.
"We look to see if the infrastructure is dirty or dusty and needs to be cleaned off, and really just look for any potential future safety hazards," Colorado Springs Utilities representative Cheron Cole said.
Both representatives said if customers see damaged equipment or branches getting too close to power lines, give the company a call, and it will inspect it.

Thought you all would like the Outdoor Recreation Participation Report – 2012. (I'm sheepishly linking you to my blog.)
Backpacking amongst youth aged 6-17 decreased from 4.8% to 3.5% percent of the population. For young adults it held steady (3.6 to 3.7%). Participation for all adults held pretty steady too.
Take a look at the projections through 2060 too.

I haven't read these reports, but industry insiders have told me it's (partially) because of the demographic shifts in the US. For the outdoors industry to grow, it must reach out to minorities. Second priority, particularly in the ski industry, is the lower and middle-income brackets.Sep 27, 2012 at 7:09 am #1916072

But population-wide, yeah, I can believe that. The BPing boom years of the 70's and 80's are long over, those adults have mostly finished procreating (some of us had kids late), and we're a more sedentary society each decade.Sep 27, 2012 at 11:51 am #1916157

personally, I don't mind there being less people out there…
otoh, it does concern me that our parks/forests may lose even more funding because it's hard to justify spending. taxpayer dollars maintaining trails that only see a tiny number of people a year.
this kind of distancing from nature is getting worse across the board…. people won't care to understand or protect what they haven't been immersed in. the implications and potential for abuse are quite frightening, particularly in states like California.Sep 27, 2012 at 12:52 pm #1916176

"For the outdoors industry to grow, it must reach out to minorities"
Why? Since us backpackers are only 2.5% of the population wouldn't it make sense that we reach out to ALL people? I don't get this fixation on race. Let's just introduce it to as many people as possible all across the board so any and all can enjoy.Sep 27, 2012 at 6:57 pm #1916277

1. Jack said "Backpacking amongst youth aged 6-17 decreased from 4.8% to 3.5%." That seems to be a drop of one-fourth and looks ominous. But the 4.8% is from 2006, before the survey changed methodology. If the range is instead from 2007 to the present, the change is 3.6% to 3.5%, which is statistically meaningless. . . .
2. As is much of the data, I'm afraid. When you have such tiny slices of the population, almost anything can throw off the numbers. Look at the youth participation since 2007: 3.6%, 4.2%, 3.7%, 4.4%, 3.5%. No rhyme or reason. Were the lower turnouts during years of poor weather? Did the lower-turnout years include better films that drew kids into theaters instead of outdoors? The higher percentages were in election years–did that influence the numbers? (Just joking.)
3. "Reaching out to minorities" isn't the most obvious way to increase the proportion of backpackers. If you want to sell an automobile magazine to new readers, market it to the demographic that already reads such magazines. You won't have as much luck trying to lure new readers from a demographic that tends not to read such magazines.
If, proportionately, whites go backpacking the most often and blacks the least often, your marketing effort will get better results by focusing on the former than the latter. (Assuming you had to choose one group over the other. Of course, everyone ought to be invited to participate.) If it were determined that lefthanded middle-aged women go backpacking disproportionately often, then market to other such women, if what you want is a raw increase in numbers.
Find out which subgroups backpack the most often, and reach out to those folks first. When that effort reaches a plateau, aim at the next-best group, and so on, working down the list. (This presumes the goal is increasing head count rather than trying to introduce backpacking to subgroups that rarely go backpacking now.)
4. One thing the report doesn't attempt to do is to correlate where people live with the frequency of their outdoor activities. Those who live in crowded metropolitan areas on the East and Midwest likely get outside less often than those who live in the Southwest and Mountain states, where activities may be just around the block. If you live in Detroit and want to go backpacking, the burden is greater than if you live instead in Reno. A good number of people in urban areas don't have cars because they use public transportation. Everyone in California has a car (or two). What trails can the city bus take you to, compared to what trails can your car take you to?Oct 5, 2012 at 10:34 am #1918413

Jack, thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is a vitally important topic for all of us on BPL.
I just returned from San Francisco this week where I attended a training for Sierra Club Outings chairs. Surprisingly most of the outings chairs were from the Inner City Outings (OIC) program.
OIC leaders are specially vetted and trained by the Sierra Club to interact with "at risk" youth whether from urban or poor rural settings. Often these kids have had no other experience in the natural outdoor world and it appears the demand by youth organizations like churches, karate clubs, etc. for the Club's OIC programs is constantly growing, witnessed by the number of newly-chartered OIC groups in many cities across the nation. OIC at this time only works contractually with entities like these and not individual youths.
I know that hunting organizations also have programs to expose youth to the outdoors and work with them on outdoor service programs to improve wildlife habitat, for example.
All of these outdoor programs will (hopefully) reverse the trend toward less youth involvement in the outdoors. Saving the natural environment DEPENDS on getting future voters exposed to it so they know how important it is.
BTW, I encourage all of us on BPL to work with youth programs and with young relatives to get them out on the trails. A youth forum, call it "Teens-To- Trails", could become a part of our Scouting forum because Scouting is not the only portal to the outdoors for our kids.Oct 7, 2012 at 8:18 pm #1919034

Thank you for all your posts. We have not missed a summer backpacking with our kids – this summer we took our 9 and 11 year olds to tackle 215 miles along the John Muir Trail. We are hoping to write a book about it. Read about our journey here: http://www.runninggalinsights.blogspot.com
Go for it!
Take your kids!

Retailers open on Thanksgiving? Oh, that would have pissed off Sarah Josepha Hale.
Before this feisty single mother took on Thanksgiving, the holiday was held at different times in different jurisdictions on any date between October and January. Or not at all. And in the South the holiday was largely unknown.

Special Xmas Offer - Fire a 25-pounder Gun for £25 - Thursday, 26 November 2009
Are you looking for an explosive Christmas gift that's guaranteed to make a special person's day go off with a bang? Then the Royal Armouries Museum in Hampshire has just the answer.
Visitors are being invited to pull the firing handle and feel the power and might of a big gun during the daily gun firings at historic Fort Nelson, high on Portsdown Hill. This is normally an original Second World War 25-pounder gun howitzer.
During December, the Royal Armouries are offering the chance to fire the gun at a special price of £25. Funds raised will boost the museum, which houses the national collection of historic cannon and artillery, and is about to undergo a £3.5m revamp. Firings can be purchased as a gift voucher to be redeemed at any time during the year – with the recipient contacting the Fort to book a slot – or for individuals' own use.
Firings take place daily seven days a week (apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) at 1pm in winter and 12 noon and 3pm in summer.
Ideal as a unique Christmas present or to mark any special occasion – or simply to fulfil the ambition of any enthusiast – the experience begins with a personal briefing on how to operate the gun in question.
In the case of the Second World War howitzer, this famous weapon saw action in many theatres of war – from the deserts of North Africa, at El Alamein, to the final successful Allied push for Victory in Europe.
Visitors will also have a chance to explore the amazing, 19-acre Victorian gun fort and its collection for the rest of the day. Attractions include underground tunnels, ramparts with spectacular views over Portsmouth Harbour, and daily performances by the Armouries' team of professional actors, who make history come alive by re-enacting a series of episodes from the nation's colourful history.
To purchase gift vouchers, or to book gun firings, please call 01329 848511.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We spent two wonderful weeks in this beautiful place. My family and I felt very comfortable. We found the apartment as it was presented on the internet. We notice that Irina and her family are taking care with love. A beautiful piece of furniture so everything was very clean. Irina and her family are very friendly and attentive. We can recommend the apartment without a doubt. Johanna Berlin
Pasamos dos semanas maravillosas en este precioso lugar. Mi familia y yo nos sentimos muy comodos. Encontramos el depto como estaba presentado en el internet. Se nota que Irina y su familia lo estan cuidando con mucho amor. A parte del mobiliario tan precioso todo era muy limpio. Irina y su familia son muy amables y atentos. Podemos recomendar el depto sin duda alguna.
Johanna de Berlin
Thanks to Irina her Partner and Mother for making my stay in buenos airies such a great one.
The apartment is ideal for one or two persons and has everything you need to be self sufficient if you want.The location is excellent been placed centrally between all the must visit places in Ba.
Having Irina on site also is a big plus should you need help with anything.I would certainly go back if I am lucky enough to get back to BA.
This loft is amazing and not only because of the design and location. Irina is doing a great job, so you feel immediately at home. The neighborhood is great, restaurants, all kind of shops (the best italian food of BA, supermarkets, grocery stores, pharmacies etc), subway, bus stations and the famous Café Las Violetas are all in walking distance of about 3-10 mins. For me thats definitely a 5 star location!
This B&B was the best place I could find in Buenos Aires!!! It is located in a charming area of BA, from where you can easily start to explore the city. The house itself is just wonderful - large kitchen, fully equipped with everything you need. It is bright and clean everywhere. The rooms are warm and charming; each one has a uniquly painted wall, wooden floor and a big window. The hosts, Irina and her mum Bettina are gorgeous people - nice, warm, extremely friendly and helpful!! You really feel "home away from home"!! Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. I definetly recommend it to everyone!
Contact Irina and staying here was wonderful, very special and is always aware of what I needed, I'm pretty sure on my next trip back! I remain with the best memories and too happy!
Contactar a Irina y hospedarme alli fue maravilloso, es muy especial y siempre pendiente de lo que necesitaba, estoy muy segura de que regreso en mi proximo viaje! Quedo con los mejores recuerdos y demasiado feliz!
We recommend this accommodation worldwide. The house is beautiful, everything is very clean and there is plenty of choice for breakfast. Irina and her family treated us great and were informed the bus to visit the different places I wanted to go and even helped to solve a problem we had for the rescheduling of a domestic flight. I hope we get some day!

"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Some definitely are...(buddy) but that's a very very slim percentage.
We could go 1-15 for the next 5 years and I'll still root as hard as ever.
I'm a DIEHARD Giants fan.... oh and a DIEHARD Knicks fan.... yea
But I'm also a DIEHARD Yankees fan
"Once a Giant, ALWAYS, a Giant."
my biggest frustration with the team is the inconsistency, we just don't seem to play at the same level of intensity and this has been going on for years now, we just never know which Giant team is going to show up for the game if they show up at all...
the only one who can beat the Giants is the Giants themselves.........man for man on a talent level through the entire 53 there is no better team out there.
Right now I would nominate Eli for League MVP and likely the #1 QB in the NFL......no one is playing better than him.
So far in their two losses they gave us a lackluster performance. By and large we should be able to handle Dallas and Philly, but for some strange reason we do not show up against these two teams lately (or the Skins).
This is New York the cup is always half empty!
And frankly, I'm getting tired of people saying "TC/KG/etc should be given a free berth because he has 2 Super Bowls". But TC is not larger than the Giants organization. I hope that he has the introspection to know when it's time to call it quits, but if he ever stopped trying on the job and refused to step down, I would call for his head in an instant. Same with any of the players. NONE of them are bigger than the organization, not even Eli or TC.
And besides, TC seems to produce his best work when he's on the hot seat, so why not do our duty as fans of the organization and constantly put him there?
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

2004 New Wallpapers
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 07:05 PM MDT | By Kodo
We've got some awesome new wallpapers by Aidan Williams. On the surface it looks like he composed Rockstar's artwork, and that's true, but there's more work put into them that you might not see. If you look closely you'll see that more of each image is viewable and some parts of them are created from scratch. This is because he extracted the original images from the Flash files, worked on them, and then put them together.
I'm really glad Aidan made these. I was having trouble choosing my favorite Rockstar artwork to use as my wallpaper, but Aidan solved that by combining them all into one.
Okay I'm done praising, you can go to the Wallpapers Page now.

Refers to indie bands or artists that are only obscure in that they have no Top 40 plays or chart hits, but are otherwise at least moderately well-known among music fans. The name comes from the fact that these bands are among the first that people discover when they are getting into indie music, as they are just scratching the surface. Surface indie bands often penetrate the mainstream consciousness from time to time, usually by appearing on TV show or movie soundtracks, or by signing to a major label. Examples include Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian, and The Decemberists. Smug hipsters will often deride surface indie bands by saying the quality of the music suffers as a result of their increasing popularity (and are especially prone to claiming those bands have sold out), but this is just pointless douchebaggery.
Don't listen to that hipster douchebag who says it gets so much better than Of Montreal. If you enjoy surface indie, then listen to it.

AW: st: RE: RE: How to adjust the content of a local macro?
Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:29:56 +0100
Let me guess: You forgot a hard return after the call to -egen-, so the line
continues and Stata thinks that the following -drop- is part of the -egen-
call. At least that is what the -trace- suggests...
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----
Von: email@example.com

Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10. Dezember 2009 11:27

Betreff: Re: st: RE: RE: How to adjust the content of a local macro?
I have been trying to implement Nick's proposition of using -egen- to
remove unwanted ids. When I do it interatively in Stata it works
nicely. But when I run exacly the same code from within the program I
end up with error messages. See below. What may be the problem?
. use us_data_ret, clear
. desc
Contains data from us_data_ret.dta
obs: 17,516,468
vars: 5 10 Nov 2009 07:02
size: 525,494,040 (60.5% of memory free)
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
id int %8.0g ID
dscd str6 %9s DSCD
date float %td
year int %8.0g
totalReturn double %10.0g
Sorted by: id date
. egen nvalid = count(totalReturn), by(id)
. drop if nvalid < 156
(2257110 observations deleted)
When run trough a program, Stata issues the following error:
option drop not allowed
-set trace on- refuses work when implemented directly after -egen- but
works when put before -egen- and then it shows (just the final part of
the output):
- capture noisily `vv' _g`fcn' `type' `dummy' = (`args') `if'
`in' `cma' `byopt' `options'
= capture noisily _gcount float __000009 = (totalReturn) ,
by(id) drop if nvalid < 156
------------------ begin _gcount
- version 6, missing
- syntax newvarname =/exp [if] [in] [, BY(varlist)]
option drop not allowed
-------------------- end _gcount
- global EGEN_SVarname
- global EGEN_Varname
- if _rc { exit _rc }
------------------------- end egen
Again: What is going on? Why can I issue the code lines separately but
not as part of a program? Has it something to do with the size of the
database (-egen- takes a few second to finish.
By the way. I have now implemnted -meanonly- and it improves the
performance of my program with approx 20 percent when run on a small
sample. That is great.
Quoting Nick Cox <email@example.com>:

Week 8 of the NFL season marks the halfway point, and injuries and ailments are starting to compound for some teams. What makes it worse for fantasy owners is that not only do we have to navigate the injury minefield, but we also have to deal with teams on their bye. So, you drafted the perfect team in your eyes, but now you have three guys on a bye and your depth chart is decimated by injuries… what do you do?
You come here each Sunday morning to get the latest news and info from around the league about those injuries so you can make the best decisions on who to start and who to leave on your bench.
Although it isn't an injury, fantasy football owners should be aware that Panthers Coach Ron Rivera plans to get back to a more balanced attack. Jonathan Stewart will be his lead-back moving forward, but DeAngelo Williams will still get some touches. Word is that the Panthers are willing to listen to trade offers for Williams, but his contract is going to be a major hurdle there. Currently Williams is the 5th highest paid RB in the NFL ($5.25 million in 2012).
Calvin Johnson (knee) is listed as "probable", despite missing Friday's practice. All indications are that Megatron will start, but he has a tough match-up against a Seahawks defense that is giving up just 17.5 PPG to fantasy WRs, TOTAL. You can't bench him, but tailor back your expectations for him also.
The Lions placed WR Nate Burleson on injured reserve with a broken leg, ending his season. That means Titus Young steps into the #2 WR spot, and rookie Ryan Broyles is the #3 WR now. Neither is a good play this week, but Young can be added if you need WR depth.
Danny Amendola (shoulder) will go through pre-game warm-ups but is still unlikely to play against the Patriots. He is getting close, so stash him on your bench for a possible return in week 9.
Jimmy Graham made the trip to Denver this week, but is still considered a game-time decision. He didn't even make the trip to Tampa Bay last week, so at least he is making progress. With all the uncertainty surrounding him, it would be best to just leave him on your best and use someone like Heath Miller (available in 30 percent of NFL.com leagues) or Martellus Bennett (available in 46.4 percent of NFL.com leagues).
Brandon Lloyd (knee) is listed as "questionable", but all indications are that he will play against the Rams. I have him projecting out as a WR3 this week. Aaron Hernandez (ankle) didn't' even make the trip across the pond, so make sure you get him out of your line-up.
Packers NT B.J. Raji (ankle) is expected to return to the lineup this week, which hurts the fantasy outlook for Jaguars RB Rashad Jennings. I said it on Twitter and Facebook that Jennings is someone to pick up if you need RB depth, but the Jaguars couldn't move the ball with Maurice Jones-Drew in the backfield, so what do you expect them to do with a perennial back-up running the ball?
Continuing with the Packers woes, Jordy Nelson (hamstring) missed practice on Friday and is listed as questionable this week. Greg Jennings will have Sports Hernia surgery this Tuesday, and is expected to miss roughly 4-6 weeks. So, Randall Cobb and James Jones just became must-starts against a Jaguars secondary that allows 34.1 PPG to WRs in PPR formats.
Jermichael Finley (shoulder) is probable this week, but it really doesn't matter as he has been a huge fantasy bust all season long. He is someone that is borderline cut worthy, but can't be cut because Aaron Rodgers is his QB.
Frank Gore (ribs) is listed as probable for Monday night's game against the Cardinals, and the word is that he will play. I have him as a low-end RB1 this week, and those who picked up Kendall Hunter hoping to catch lightning in a bottle can feel free to cut him loose once again.
Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) will not play against the Redskins, and Isaac Redman is listed as questionable. Jonathan Dwyer will get the start and carry the load, but don't put him any higher than a low-end RB2 this week.
Updating SS Troy Polamalu's right calf injury, it is now being described as being a "serious concern." He is still listed as week-to-week, but it is shaping up to be a late season return.
Jay Cutler (ribs) is listed as "probable" against the Panthers, but is little more than a QB2 with just Brandon Marshall to throw too.
Trent Richardson (ribs) is expected to play against the Chargers, but should be benched in fantasy leagues. San Diego has the NFL's #2 ranked run defense (71.2 YPG allowed) and they give up just 15.8 PPG to fantasy RBs. Montario Hardesty is listed as probable, but with Richardson getting the start, Hardesty cannot be counted on in any fantasy format.
DeMarcus Ware (flu) did not practice this week, but is expected to play. Felix Jones (knee) practiced on both Thursday and Friday, and is expected to start against the Giants. DeMarco Murray remains out, and needs to be on your bench until further notice. The Cowboys also placed ILB Sean Lee (toe) on injured reserve, ending his season. I wouldn't come within 10 feet of the Cowboys defense against Eli Manning and the Giants offense, and you should view Jones as a low-end RB2 this week.
Speaking of the Jaguars, Blaine Gabbert (shoulder) is probable this week, and Jones-Drew (foot) said he has no time-table for a return to the field. Gabbert isn't even on the fantasy radar, and MJD just has to sit on your bench until he is ready to hit the field.
Donald Brown (knee) practiced fully Friday and will be a game-time decision against the Titans. Because Brown hasn't been much of a fantasy RB in his career, I wouldn't expect much from him if you own him.
For Miami Dolphins fans, Daniel Thomas (concussion) is probable this week, but remains a pure handcuff to Reggie Bush owners.
Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) is expected to play in a heated division rivalry game against the Cowboys. With Lee out for the Cowboys defense, Bradshaw looks like a solid RB2 play this week.
New York Jets LB Bart Scott (toe) has been ruled out for the game against the Dolphins, which means the Jets defense is even less appealing than it already was.

text: Hi I was wondering if anyone has heard of the Phantom package for the 1991 4X4 GMC Suburban? I bought mine a couple of years ago and have been unable to find out any details about the "Phantom Package" I am not sure if it was a dealer add on package or what. Here are the details on what I think the package included: -Front and mid Captains Chairs. -Real wood trim throughout to include center console, overhead pod with integrated spot lights, auxiliary switch panel, and cool black plexiglass center piece with a bunch of little lights under it, rear wood cup holders and rear wood roof line trim with concealed lights. -Phantom pinstriped on rear quarter panels. -Integrated running boards/wheel flares. Well that is all I can think of right now that makes it different than your run of the mill Burban. If anyone has heard of this package or could point me in a direction to find more info about it I would appreciate it. Thanks, Matt

Hey guys, ive decided to take my painting services in a different direction by now using humbrol or floquil (or similar) paints only via airbrush. I was using a combination of rattlecans and airbrush, which i am very happy with the results, however i need to use something a less harmful in way of fumes and mess. The airbrush causes less fumes and ALOT less mess.
So the colors im looking for are the blue and the yellow on the ROTJ jetpack. Id like to do my next (and last for the year) ROTJ jetpack with all airbrush. Other brands that match will be great, but id prefer humbrol or floquil as i have been using them and am very happy with the results. thanks Hunters!

Time and Tide Reflection
I don't usually get philosophical on this blog, nor do I ofttimes wax rhapsodic. But this is the time of year where I must. I love my career! I love my teaching, my practice, my profession, my students, my families, and my community! I can't imagine doing anything else that feeds my soul like teaching! I love the seasons and the time and tide of it. The great thing about summers off (other than it's awesome) is the ability to step back and reflect about the past school year. So here are my 5 R's to help with that reflective journey.
Before you can truly reflect you gotta relax. And it doesn't have to be a week at the beach (but that helps!) but it should be a seeking of solace. Quieting your mind, read (of course!), breathe, sleep (I did a lot of that) heal (I always seem to get a cold at breaks & holidays - like my body says "Oh, you have time now....here you go!) putter, get a massage, swim, garden - whatever it is that let's you let go is good. Disconnecting from social media is also helpful - going off the grid. I have a hard time with that - but it's lovely.
Once you're relaxed reflect on the things that went well last year. Lessons that inspired, projects that showed promise, and programs that popped! Also think about the things that didn't go so well and how you could improve. Stay the course, or change it. However, sometimes, you can't change a situation but you have to learn to graciously accept it - and then work around it. One year I had a class assigned to my library due to over crowding - knowing that unless we had one year of it we wouldn't qualify for an extra "portable" so I had to grit my teeth & make the best of it. I ended up great friends with the teacher and we did co-teaching all year! The other teachers saw what we were doing and the next year when that class was in it's new portable, I had requests for similar lessons from all subject areas.
This year we had months and months where our library seemed like standardized test central. For MOD and makeup testing - where a few days our doors even had to be locked with big signs that said DO NOT ENTER. (That killed me!) Knowing of course, I wasn't the only one in my district or state going through all that helped. Finding acceptance that this was for the good of a needful portion of my kids helped, and also finding Ninja ways around it helped, too! Visiting the classrooms with carts of books - making my teaching "to go" or "on delivery" quelled my need for that teaching fix and kept me connected to my kids. But whatever challenge you face in your school - coolly reflect on it and move on.
Think about ways to effect real change and revise what you did from last year to the coming new school year. My Mom (an amazing retired gifted & talented Reading Specialist and English teacher) says that: "One of the BEST things about teaching was that every school year was a do-over! Every new school year was a fresh start." Don't dwell on the past look to the future! Choose ONE BIG THING to focus on next year. Join Twitter? Attend a professional conference? Better yet, PRESENT at a professional conference! Start a wiki? Pump up your Web Presence? Don't make it impossible, make it do-able! Set a reasonable goal for practice next year and keep it. Post-it wall optional!
Now this is the tough love time. Really think about WHY you are in this profession. Do you speak enthusiastically about what you do? Do you like, admire, believe in, and cheer for your kids? I know when writing I use a LOT of !!!'s Like I said in a recent interview for the excellent website Middleweb: "I always feel like Elaine in that Seinfeld episode where she has to take out exclamation marks, because I do use so many. Those and ellipses! Nom Nom.
A simple gift like these can make that re-dedication manifest. When you get one of these? Take a picture of it and keep a file folder of em for when you need that soul refresh. I have a manilla folder and a Flickr set called Happy. Works every time!
But let's face it: If you, as a teacher or a teacher librarian, find that when you write about your teaching practice, and you don't feel the urge to use an inordinate amount of !!!!!'s, then maybe you need to go re-kindle your passion or get the heck out. Our profession is so precious, our responsibility to our students is so great, that if you don't have the proper enthusiasm and optimism for it then maybe some serious soul searching needs to happen – STAT!"
Celebrate your year! It's over.....and I'm sure you had some high points and some low ones. You taught and most importantly you LEARNED! Celebrate your successes and accept your failures. We all have them and frankly, my failures teach me MUCH more than my successes. We have the BEST job ever! Rejoice!
Final Thoughts:
On Time and Tide - not only is it a fav album by one of my fav 80's bands Split Enz...but it's about the pace of our lives. The lyrical dance of days. The time and tide of our school year. Embrace the seasonal gifts along with our kids. The start of a new year - new pencil fresh with all the infinite possibilities, the holidays peppered in the fall, Thanksgiving and time with my family, Christmas (or PC Winter Break) snow days...doing the snow dance in my kitchen wearing my jammies inside out, Monday bank holidays, and spring break. Oh spring break...my beloved pause where I usually go to our oceanfront beach condo in DE and spend a whole week...well, getting a jump on my 5 R's! Whatever it takes to re-kindle that innate optimism that brought you to teaching...take this time and FIND IT again or burn it brighter baby!
Now go out there and be AWESOME!
What kind of things do you to do to rededicate yourself to teaching? What did I forget? OR What is your favourite holiday?
Oh Tim & Neil Finn of Split Enz! - My teenage heart still swoons for you! I saw you perform in DC where you were the headliner & Duran Duran opened for you because XTC had cancelled their concert....you were AWESOME! Split Enz and Duran Duran at Ontario Theatre (24 Jun 82)

Ilove this post and the BEAUTIFUL images you used with it! I definitely go through a similar process at the end of each year to recover from the exhaustion and celebrate successes. And you're right... a week at the beach sure doesn't hurt anything! My parent's beach condo is definitely my happy place where I can relax, reflect, and just BREATHE!ReplyDelete
Thanks as always for the comment on my ISTE blog post -- I still can't believe that something I've written has been printed (and they did a character to go with it)!
I'm busy packing away for the big trip, I can't wait to see you in just a few short days in fabulous San Diego -- my first ever trip to Cali!Replies
Aww Thanks for your comment, sweetie! Can't wait to see you in Cali - it's so smugly beautiful!Delete
Fantastic post, as always! The video reminded me of driving along in my car ('72 Dodge Dart LOL!) and singing my brains out! My crush would be John Taylor from Duran Duran. Still makes me swoon!ReplyDelete
We are lucky indeed to have a profession that allows us time to rejuvenate, re-connect, re-center, and renew every year. My goal for the "pencil new" year of 2012-13 is balance - and how to extend the sensation of summer bliss into my work year (wearing Hawaiian Tropic year round not withstanding).ReplyDelete
Putting my plug in for Blondie's The Tide is High. The night Debbie Harry sang that on Solid Gold is a top ten moment from my childhood.

Q. Is AT&T going to fix Dead Spot, near Santa Rita and Valley?
Original post made by AT&T poor reception, Danbury Park, on Apr 19, 2014
Says Radha Sharma/AT&T (P13-2069) wants to "construct a wireless facility consisting of a roof mounted clock tower and ground mounted equipment area at 1811 Santa Rita Road."
I think that's the two story building behind the current shopping center sign that has the time and temp.
My Questions are:
Will this fix AT&T's disgraceful dead spot. Ever try to use the wireless from Safeway?
How soon will they start?
How can we find out more about "(P13-2069?">

Last month a guy at the AT&T store on Hopyard said the city approved an antenna, but the current holdup is the FCC. There is some problem with too much overlap with other towers because Pleasanton waited too long to approve this tower.
a resident of Danbury Park
on Apr 20, 2014 at 8:19 am
I think I also read that AT&T was considering an antenna in the relatively nearby business park, near Quarry Lane?
Q. Is that a go?
Q. How far does an antenna serve?
AT&T motto:
When all is said and done,
more is said,
than done.

AT&T would place a 200 ft tower in the center of town if they were allowed to. Make no mistake, the lack of coverage in places like Pleasanton is due to places like Pleasanton.
AT&T is well aware that the affluent areas are pots of gold for monthly fees from smartphone users, and they would provide more coverage if they could.
Tracy has a water tower near downtown with antennas on it. When they turned up LTE 4G service on that last year, my data speed downtown was clocked faster than my wi-fi at home. AT&T's 4G is blindingly quick, fastest of all the carriers, if they can place the towers to provide the coverage.

Water towers are now allowable cell antenna locations in Pleasanton, and there are quite a few around the city. It would sure be nice for the phone companies to put them up. Cell signals anywhere in town other than right by the free way are abysmal.
a resident of Pleasanton Valley

I received a micro cell from ATT (Another Terminated Technician) for free because their service completely stinks in a large area surrounding Valley and Santa Rita. Heck, in Jensen Tract there is no service what so ever. ATT/SBC told me for a easily 6 years that they "have a project to be completed in the next couple of months and will make a big difference. It's never happened. I called them on it with documentation and saved a couple hundred on a micro cell for the home. At least at home I can receive calls with my iPhone now. The ATT store in Stoneridge Mall is a company store, they are the only ones that can do it. Go there and get yourself a free micro cell. Once they have to give away a bucket load of them at $200 a pop you can bet that cell service will happen. By the way, ATT's mark the spot app does nothing for you so says an employee, it just keeps you from calling ATT and complaining.

AT&T's poor coverage of central Pleasanton is one of the reasons I switched to Verizon. I never knew whether the problem lay with AT&T, the City, the FCC, or property owners, but at some point I just didn't want it to be *my* problem. Verizon's service has been much better, and the only issue is that my business partner and a number of friends are still with AT&T. But I hope a new tower will indeed improve service in the Dead Zone.

I have news for you folks, AT&T is riddled with poor-coverage areas throughout California, not just is Pleasanton. They keep blaming it on the cities, yet other companies don't seem to have the problem. I had AT&T for 3 years, and it stunk in Pleasanton, it stunk in Fremont, it stunk in Milpitas, it stunk in Sunnyvale ,it stunk in Palo Alto it stunk in LA, it stunk in the Inland Empire, and most of I-5 between Tracy and LA. I switched to Verizon and all those holes disappeared.
a resident of Highland Oaks

Don't be fooled by the "Verizon solved all my problems" posts. We will have cell signal and reception issues with all the carriers, depending on our location. I believe the carriers are doing their best to provide coverage, in spite of all the government bureaucracy and red tape.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Apr 21, 2014 at 7:34 pm
To "DontBeFooled", my work phone is Verizon and gets gets a strong signal throughout Pleasanton. I'll likely be switching my personal phone to Verizon also.
AT&T may be "doing their best", but they are failing, at least according to my experience.
a resident of Pleasanton Valley
on Apr 21, 2014 at 8:57 pm
I live near Valley and Santa Rita; my personal Verizon phone gets poor coverage when I am in my house. My Sprint work phone doesn't work at all inside the house and sort of works outside if I stand in just the right spot. The problem isn't the carriers, it's the city and the NIMBY residents who won't allow the installation of antennas. A previous poster is correct that the phone companies would love to have better coverage and sell you more airtime.
a resident of Danbury Park
on Apr 22, 2014 at 9:24 am
So, good people, does this card from City of Pleasanton mean AT&T will actually do anything,
and if so, anytime soon?
