Working with EveryDry was a pleasure. The workers were very courteous and professional and always on time. Never left a mess at the end of the day. They fixed the problem and with a lifetime transferable warranty, I have peace of mind. Their price was competitive too! I would use this company again and recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you Everydry! Jody A.

After an explanation to owners wife of the dust situation that was left by crew, they were willing to compensate us for the cleanup. They sincerely apologized for the mess and agreed that preconstruction preparations to protect our belongings from the dust should have been followed more closely. We appreciate their offer to help with cleanup costs.

I was contacted by an everdry representive, and upon inspection found I did indeed some type of protection for my foundation. I was very pleased with the quality of work and time that was needed to do the work, I have been totally dry and my foundation is now safe, not only did the work get rid of my water problem, but I no longer have any mold or mildew issues, Job well done.

I can't say enough about a merchant who provides you with a simple guarantee and then gladly comes back again and again until his work is as perfect as he promised. A 32 year old ranch style home, on a hill with a partial basement and crawl space that has been flooding with every heavy rain year after year is a real challenge. Over a year after the first waterproofing, during a remodel, we discovered "hidden" water in the crawl space. The crew was there the next week to do a major rework and redesign of that area. When the reduced dampness still impacted our new wood floors six months later, the crew came immediately to further encapsulate the "dirt". All at no additional charge. I am enjoying my DRY "man cave" thanks to Everdry Waterproofing and the rest of our home is also comfortable and mold free.

I had a system installed in 2009 after the big floods. They followed up fixing issues at the time of the install. Then, this year (2014) I had sinkholes in the front yard. Under warranty, they fixed a clogged drain pipe in the front yard, moved a drain box, and corrected the issue.

Outstanding job! Workers were EXCELLENT,done in 3 days!Love their patent to prevent mold! I'm HAPPY!
Posted: 2/01/2014 • Link to this review
My basement had been repaired for flooding several times, and I needed someone who would figure out how to stop it. The Everdry fellow said he could do this, and seemed earnest and honest. I told them I wanted if fixed, and gave them no trouble over the price. He did the work he said needed to be done. The next heavy rain, even more flooding came in the basement. Apparently the water is coming in from a different place than the one he patched. He did come back to try to find the problem, but his idea of "fixing" was putting a little patch on a different place and wait for another rain. We've been messing with this basement for a year now, and the problem is not solved. The Everdry company failed to do a thorough analysis, under estimated the job, and is not particularly interested in getting to the bottom of the problem, at least not under warranty. If you have a problem that does not have an obvious solution, they are NOT the company you should call. They are not the only waterproofing company that acts this way, they are the second one I have hired trying to solve my problem. What a crappy industry. These people are not engineers and have not done a competent job of solving my problem. Money spent on them is wasted. Michael Webb Roswell, GA 30076

Not worth the money and stress! Definitely get a second quote! The teams showed a lack of common sense and a disregard for doing the job the right way (the first time). They required extensive oversight from me. What do I know? Isn't that why you hire professionals? Example 1: Easy Breathe installation: Technician explained the need to seal all crawlspace vents. There was a vent that was difficult (certainly not impossible) to access as it was behind a wall. The tech told me he would make sure the wall was sealed vs. accessing and sealing the vent. Initially, I agreed (again, what do I know?) but then common sense won out and I questioned his reasoning. "Wouldn't it be best for you to seal all vents so NO moist air gets into any part of the crawlspace?" He agreed and got the tools needed to access and seal the vent. Really?! You are the expert! Should I have to follow you around the crawlspace to make sure you are doing your job? Example 2: The crew initially began digging and implementing a solution that was not what was presented and agreed upon during our consultation. After the Easy Breath installation experience, my husband stayed home to watch over them and had to stop the crew (and crew leader) and course correct before they got too far (again, what do we know?!). They ended up giving us some money back for our troubles (~10%), but it was a stressful, miserable, and EXPENSIVE experience. It really makes me dread getting work done on my house!

After two outside waterproofing jobs and one bad French drain, my basement is finally dry! Everdry came in and did an outstanding job putting in the 3 step system. There was a slight leak after a big rain. but they came out and fixed the problem. The basement has been dry ever since! Thanks Everdry!!

Everydry Waterproofing did an excellent job on our house. We had mold and water in the lower level. Everdry installed a french drain and a sump pump to carry the water out of the house. They also repaired a crack in our foundation wall and installed material outside the house along the foundation to keep water out. The crew showed up on time and worked with us until the downstairs was dry. Everdry was able to give us a prompt appointment to do the work, when other companies were too busy to even give us an estimate. Our house has been dry for four years. We have not had any water seepage at all this summer of 2013.

My basement had a leak after the installation of the Everdry System. Basement is dry now, but had to wait 2 months for service call repair to be completed.

Everdry waterproofed our basement in 2010. With all the rain recently I was amazed to see not a drop in our basement. Last year our pump went on the fritz and they were there as soon as we called with a new pump. Great customer service with this Company and that's very hard to find anymore. Great work also. Thanks Everdry!

The employees of Everydry were polite,courteous and professional from start to finish. The gentleman who provided us with the estimate did so accurately and in a timely manner. The worked was scheduled quickly. The installers were on time everyday and locked up the property when they left if I was not at home. They cleaned up after themselves, as well. My husband and I are very happy with their work and will all the rain lately we still have a dry basement. Thank you Everdry.

Arrests Made In Four Unsolved Murders
Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said 40-year-old Dr. Anthony Garcia was arrested Monday in Illinois.
Schmaderer says Garcia acted alone in the murders of 65-year-old Roger Brumback and 65-year-old Mary Brumback near 114th and Shirley and the 2008 stabbing deaths of 11-year-old Thomas Hunter and his family housekeeper, 57-year-old Shirlee Sherman.
Both Roger Brumback and Thomas Hunter's father worked in Creighton's pathology department. Schmaderer says Brumback and Hunter fired Garcia in 2001 when he was a pathology resident for erratic behavior.
Schmaderer declined to discuss details of the evidence against Garcia who currently lives in Terre Haute, Indiana. He says Garcia showed signs of alcohol impairment and had a gun when he was pulled over by Indiana State Troopers Monday morning.

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Cockroaches, bed bugs and ants, oh my! Hundreds of pest control technicians convened in Wrightsville Beach to share secrets and tips of how to better master bugs and rodents. Though very tiny, some even invisible to the naked eye, pests can multiply quickly, rapidly becoming a huge problem for homeowners.
WWAY spoke with a critter expert about some of the newest pests that have made a home for themselves in this area.
"They come into your home and invade your space," said Lee Smith, a director with the North Carolina Pest Management Association. "They can infest your food, into your living space. It just make people uncomfortable."
Smith says brown-marmorated stink bugs as well as bed bugs have been especially invasive. He says both insects breed pretty fast, which is why they have become such a huge problem in North Carolina.
"It is a bit of an explosion," said Smith. "What we'd say is a population explosion."
He says the brown-marmorated stink bug typically enters homes through cracks and crevices and because of their obnoxious odor, the foul smell is what really puts people off. However, they are not native to the U.S. He says they originated in Asia.
"The brown-marmorated stink bug started off in the northeastern part of the United States and is now filtering down through Virginia, West Virginia and now North Carolina."
Bed bugs have also become more and more prevalent, not only in our area, but throughout the country.
"They piggy back with us so where we go if someone has a bed bug infestation they can carry it in their luggage," said Smith. "They can come visit you in your home as a guest and maybe leave you a present of bed bugs."
He says it's not too hard for these bugs to get under your skin.
"On a bed, you'll see spotting, which is dried blood from where they have fed and then dropped that blood particle out," said Smith.
He says the best way to prevent an infestation is to call a local pest control company at the first sight of any bugs.

Hambantota: Cricket, and not any showy opening ceremony, takes centre stage as the ICC World Twenty20 2012 kicks off in Hambantota on Tuesday with the tournament favourites and hosts Sri Lanka squaring off against the rusty minnows Zimbabwe.
A three-team group doesn't offer you any chance to warm up. All the loosening up is left to the pre-tournament practice matches, where Zimbabwe were thumped by fellow minnows Ireland (by 54 runs) and Bangladesh (by 5 wickets). A clear indication that almost eight months of no cricket has had its toll on them - with both coordination and skill gathering rust.
Sri Lanka blew hot and cold in warm-up. After soundly beating West Indies by 9 wickets, Mahela Jayawardene's men were outplayed by former T20 champions India by 26 runs.
However, a favourites vs minnows match is fraught with danger for the former as the latter has nothing to lose. With just two group matches to play, a slip-up against the weaker team can prove disastrous - in this case for Sri Lanka, who will next play red hot South Africa.
The home fans might see Tillakaratne Dilshan walking out to open batting with Dilshan Munaweera and the 18-year-old Akila Dananjaya sharing spin-bowling duties with Ajantha Mendis - offering both Munaweera and Dananjaya their international debuts. That means Jayawardene may bat at No. 3, followed by a solid middle order. The fast bowling department will, of course, be led by limited-overs specialist Lasith Malinga.
Zimbabwe may go into the match banking on experience than youthful flair. Hamilton Masakadza, Vusi Sibanda and Brendan Taylor offer quality at the top, but the middle order doesn't have much to offer. Considering that, Craig Ervine and Stuart Matsikenyeri's experience should keep them in the eleven. So the only choice Taylor may have to make is on the allrounder - between Elton Chigumbura and Malcolm Waller.
Prosper Utseya, Graeme Cremer and Ray Price are there to spin the bowl for Zimbabwe, but Taylor doesn't expect much turn out of the Hambantota track. That means one of the three tweakers - most probably Cremer - will miss out.
Talking about pressure, the hosts will feel it more than the visitors as an upset win for Zimbabwe can shut the door on Sri Lanka as early as the first day of the tournament.
Probable XIs:
Sri Lanka: 1 Dilshan Munaweera, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Mahela Jayawardene (c), 4 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 5 Lahiru Thirimanne, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Nuwan Kulasekara, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Lasith Malinga, 10 Ajantha Mendis 11 Akila Dananjaya
Zimbabwe: 1 Hamilton Masakadza, 2 Vusi Sibanda, 3 Brendan Taylor (c/wk)), 4 Craig Ervine, 5 Stuart Matsikenyeri, 6 Elton Chigumbura/Malcolm Waller, 7 Prosper Utseya 8 Ray Price, 9 Richard Muzhange, 10 Kyle Jarvis, 11 Chris Mpofu

Back in the classic movies day, if you had an odd or an ethnic or a "Un-American" sounding first or last name, the movie studios would encourage you to change it. Hell, if your name was Norma Jean Baker, they'd tell you that wasn't sexy enough. When you're an Ontario girl born Melissa Smith and your career isn't getting any traction, you reach into your Italian roots and move forward. Does the girl change in sexiness or was she just as hot as a Smith?
Melissa Molinaro
If you're into watching those direct-to-DVD sequels, you might have caught Molinaro in the follow-up to Jessica Alba's swansong, HONEY 2. If not, perhaps you're like me and snapped up a copy of COMMAND PERFORMANCE while it was selling hot out of the local Dollar Tree store and perhaps because you have an embarrassing love of all things Dolph Lundgren. Whichever the case, Smith wasn't working back then, so she changed it to Molinaro so she could get a small role in THE LAST STAND.
I don't remember her being a stand-out in that Dolph movie and I am still ashamed to say that HONEY 2 hasn't seen the crystal of my DVD player yet, but looking over pictures of Molinaro would argue the case that the woman is good looking enough to take a great picture at the very least.
She can sing (I don't really know, I'm just going off the information that she once was in a girl group named Goddess), she can dance (otherwise how would she have ended up in HONEY 2!?!?) and she has been cast in movies, so she's a dictionary actress at the very least. Ultimately, when you look at pics of those eyes, those legs and that ass, it's hard to find cause to not think Melissa is hot. Perhaps I set up the column this week just to give a little more exposure to a girl no longer named Smith.
What do you think of Melissa Molinaro?

Green food fight
A firestorm erupted on Grist recently over the perennially fraught topic of diet and the environment. In response biodiversivist asks a question I've long wondered over as well: what's so bad about "partial vegetarianism"?
I recognize that people have diverse reasons for making their dietary choices, and many view vegetarianism or veganism as first and foremost an animal welfare issue. For these people, I grant, partial vegetarianism might not be a coherent ethical choice. (Indeed, the original food fight on Grist was provoked by PETA, an organization not known for seeing shades of gray on this issue.)
But for others, the primary virtues of a no-meat diet are environmental or health-related. And in this case, it seems to me that a low- or lower-meat diet is a perfectly reasonable position to stake out.
Oddly, biodiversivist and I seem to have come to a similar conclusion from opposite starting points. Biodiversivist is primarily interested in defending omnivores against the contention that meat-eating is necessarily in contradiction with environmentalism. In other words, he is denying that meat-eating environmentalists are necessarily hypocrites, and he even has some nice spreadsheets to back up his point.
When I first started thinking about this topic — in college, I think — it was the other way around. Self-described "carnivores" routinely enjoyed running down vegetarians for their supposed hypocrisy. This was an easy game to play. The meat-eaters didn't see any ethical principle at stake when they shopped for food, so there were never any contradictions to consider. The vegetarians, on the other hand, had to live with whatever compromises they deemed either necessary or acceptable: leather shoes, pet food, a secret bacon habit. Hypocrites!
I should probably mention that I wasn't then and am not now a vegetarian. But the accusation of hypocrisy never made much sense to me. A mostly meat-free diet seems a perfectly sensible compromise to arrive at, and for many will be more easily achievable than strict vegetarianism or veganism.
And for those who, like me, are devoted omnivores but still worry about their environmental footprint, I can say that reducing meat consumption is way easier than you might think — many of our food choices are depressingly mindless. As an experiment, try abiding by simple rules to get started: no meat at lunch, or no meat on certain days of the week, etc. You might be surprised.

I'm very concerned about my nose; flat, wide, and short. I want to fix this to boost my self esteem as fast as possible. What are the best options for my age to sharpen and lengthen my nose?
Can I Lengthen my Nose at the Age of 14?
Doctor Answers 5
Nose surgery in adolescents
Hi Leni,
You have legitimate reasons to correct the cosmetic problems in your nose. I would recommend that you wait and see what changes occur with your nose and face over the next two years though. We won't know whether your face has stopped developing until we give it a chance to see if it stopped. There is a significant change in facial development in the mid teens. I recommend that you wait and then see and experienced plastic or facial plastic surgeon that does a lot of nasal surgeries. The Vectra 3D Imaging System is a great way to see the potential changes to your nose with corrective surgery. Please be patient and good luck. Discuss this with your family and what your concerns and the effect on your self esteem.
Nose at 14
At 14 you are still too young to have a rhinoplasty. Usually women and men still are growing. I will often wait until a young lady is 15 or 16 and a young man is 17 or 18 before I will perform a rhinoplasty.
Can I Lengthen my Nose at the Age of 14?
If you have reached skeletal maturity, rhinoplasty can be performed with parental consent at the age of 14. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Life After 'Twilight': See What Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner & More Are Doing Next!
See 20+ pics from 'Water for Elephants,' 'On the Road,' 'Abduction' & more!
We're so used to seeing Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner as Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Jacob Black that it's hard to think of them as anyone else. But because all good things must come to an end, we're already preparing ourselves for a future without the Twilight saga — and to be honest, the future's looking bright! R-Patz, K-Stew and the rest of the Twi-cast have some really exciting new movies in the works, and HollywoodLife.com is here to give you a sneak peek.
- Ashley Greene takes her first step — or rather, her first glide — in the movie Skateland. The indie flick was a favorite at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, and it's finally heading to theaters this March!
- Rob's major departure, Water for Elephants, is next in line. Hitting theaters April 22, Elephants will give us more of that sensitive, emotional Rob we know and love from Twilight. And judging by the photos, we'll also be getting lots of action between R-Patz and co-star Reese Witherspoon!
- Meanwhile, Taylor's snatching up action roles left and right — and his first one, Abduction, comes out this September. (He really is the next Tom Cruise!)
- And then there's Kristen. Her next movie, On the Road, doesn't have a release date yet… but we can't wait for it to get one! We love us some K-Stew, and her hunky co-stars — Sam Riley and Garrett Hedlund — are nothing to scoff at either!

Heading into his senior season as the returning starter as Auburn's deep snapper for punts, field goals and extra points, Shiver earned his scholarship with his performance in practice and games and is obviously proud to be a member of Tommy Tuberville's 10th Auburn team.
"I have been staying busy with football and school," says Shiver, who will join his teammates for the first preseason practice on Saturday. "I am about to graduate. Workouts have been going well and we are about to finish those up and go into preseason camp and then the season."
Scheduled to graduate in December with a degree in marketing, Shiver may not be done with football when he finishes his final collegiate season. The athletic, six-foot-three 227-pounder has ambitions to play the sport professionally.
"For the NFL I will need to gain some more weight so I will be trying to do that throughout the season," Shiver says. "I am going to put together a program with Coach (Kevin) Yoxall."
The deep snapper is shown during Auburn's bowl victory over Clemson in Atlanta to close the 2007 season.
Shiver runs well and is excellent on covering punts, but a ticket to the NFL will be based on how quickly and accurately he handles his deep snaps. He has been good at that assignment since he arrived at Auburn and could be even better as a senior.
The snapper is upbeat about how he did recently when he was timed on his punt snaps. "I think for college being under .74 (seconds) is good," he says. "I think for the NFL they say that .66 is a good time for a punt snap.
"I don't know what happened, but the other day I was timed at .53, .54 and two .59s," he notes. "I am zipping them back there pretty good now. The main thing is if you are snapping it that fast if you are a little off and make the punter have to move he might not have enough time to react. Fortunately, my accuracy has been good.
"The main thing is to get the ball into the hands of the punter easily where he will have plenty of time to get the ball off," Shiver says. "Most of them like to get the ball snapped toward their stomach."
With last year's field goal and extra points holder, Matthew Motley, being a senior in 2007, three players are in contention for the assignment this year. The group includes walk-ons Clayton Crofoot and John Cubelic plus backup quarterback Neil Caudle.
Shiver has been working out with those players this summer along with the returning starter at kicker, sophomore Wes Byrum. "They are all doing well," Shiver says of the holders. "During two-a-days it will come down to whoever Wes feels comfortable with. They are all doing a good job."
The deep snapper says he aims for the back knee of the holders when snapping on field goals and extra points. "That way if you miss a little high it is around their shoulder and if you miss low it is around their shin," he explains. "You always want to miss inside rather than outside."
Robert Shiver (left) is shown during a Tiger Walk during the 2006 season, his first year as a starter for the Tigers.
Shiver deep-snapped at Brookwood High in Thomasville, but he wasn't a specialist. He played multiple positions and was All-State in both football and basketball while he was also a standout in baseball. Despite his high school success, colleges were not offering athletic scholarships.
"I played in an all-star basketball game and I was thinking about playing basketball at a smaller school," he recalls. "I love football, but basketball season was kind of my favorite season although football games were the best.
"I came up here to the Georgia-Auburn football game my sophomore year in high school," Shiver recalls. "I think that was the year the Georgia receiver pushed off in the back of the end zone and they beat us in the last second. The atmosphere and the school kind of caught my attention."
That trip to Auburn stuck with the south Georgian and he decided to enroll at Auburn. "Before I came, my coach said, 'You should really send them a video of you snapping because you are the best snapper I have seen.' I said, 'Okay, we'll send it and see what happens.' Coach (Eddie) Gran ended up calling me. I came up here and me and my dad ended up having a meeting with him."
Gran, who still coaches special teams at Auburn in addition to his assignment with the running backs, invited Shiver to join the team as a walk-on and that is what he did on the unbeaten 2004 team. "I ended up playing safety on the scout team my freshman year when I redshirted," he remembers. "It was fun going up against Ronnie Brown and all of those guys after coming from a small, 2A private school to playing with these guys. Then after that everything just kind of fell into place and I just had to keep working hard and hope good things would happen."
As a redshirt sophomore, he won the starting assignment on field goal and extra point snapping. Last season his game-day duties expanded. "Last year I was put on scholarship and I did both (field goals and punts) so everything has gone well and it has been fun," he says.
Like other many other seniors he has observed during his time at Auburn, Shiver is trying to follow in their footsteps to be a team leader this year.
"Mainly I am just trying to set an example of work ethic, both on and off the field," he says. "I know a lot of freshmen who come in kind of go college crazy with all of this big-time atmosphere with Auburn. You have to show them they are here for two main reasons--football and school.
"During the season, the specialists don't get to show the other guys how hard you work because we do special teams periods at practices and then we go over to the stadium and kick, but you can only kick so much. It is not like we are putting in new game plans every week. We do the same thing every week. The offseason is when we show the other guys we do work hard to be a part of this team."
Shiver is shown during spring training prior to his senior season.
Commenting on his final Auburn team, Shiver says, "We have high expectations. I know everyone has seen that the media has predicted us to win the SEC West. We need to go out there and take it one game at a time.
"With two new coordinators, I know there are going to be a lot of questions about this team," he adds. "The biggest question right now is the quarterback position, but I think we are an experienced team."
Shiver says keeping his team's key players healthy will go a long way towards determining what kind of season it will be. "We are going to put everything we have out on the field and hopefully make something special happen," he says.
Shiver expects the kicking game will be good enough to help the Tigers win games this year. "I feel like we are going to be good," he says. "There is some competition at punter with (Ryan) Shoemaker and (Clinton) Durst. Shoe has proven himself from last year with his SEC awards and Durst is the new guy coming on who can really hit the ball. The competition will be good for them and they will push each other through camp.
"Wes is proven as a kicker," Shiver adds. "He just needs to work on his kickoffs. We have people coming in to push him and make him better."
The Tigers will open the season August 30th and Shiver hopes he spends that evening snapping for extra points and field goals rather than punts.

About Me
I am an Australian model, currently based in Canberra. I am Filipina/Australian with a petite build and tanned skin.
I love latin dance, chicko babies, travel, learning different languages and people who think outside the square!
I am a little random and occasionally like to do spontaneous things like move to Mexico or China for a year or two.... you know, just to shake things up a bit. AND I LOVE meeting like minded people!
On the modeling side of things, I have extensive experience in photographic, television, music videos, catwalk, spruiking and promotional modeling and have represented many brands both in Australia and overseas. In 2011 I was the face of Nahiara Swimwear (billboards shown nationally around Mexico) and the face of Antara Jewellery in Melbourne.
In 2010, I featured in a number of editorial shoots with Mexican Designer Diana Morlan, in breath taking and famous locations around Mexico. I feature in two music videos - one by San Francisco band "The Sprains" shot in LA in 2011, and by Brisbane band "The Ruby Tigers", shot in Brisbane in 2010. In 2008 I was the face of Sadong eyewear in China, and in 2007 I was voted one of Australia's hottest Myspace babes by ZOO Magazine and ranked Number 17 in a ZOO Magazine Special on the 105 Best Celebrity Bodies of 2007.
I have represented Nahiara Traje de Bano, Diana Morlan, Antara Jewellery, Sircus Cosmetics, Beau and Arrow, Damsel in this Dress, Jyoti Chandra Designs, Zamels Jewellers, Brand Depot, Juno Jewellery, Pure Envy, City Custom Exhaust, Faux Tanning Studio, Rougue Avenue Boutique, Rockstar Energy Drinks, Savage Urbain, Live to Ride Insurance and many more.
I love meeting new people in the industry and am always looking to expand my portfolio in creative and interesting ways, so if you have a great idea in mind, I'd love to hear it. Under no circumstances will I do any nude or implied nude, so don't bother asking.

Plano, Texas J.C. Penney Co. has announced that it has earned a perfect score of 100% on the 2009 Corporate Equality Index, released on by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on Tuesday. This is the second consecutive year that the retailer has received a top rating on the index which measures employers on their treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees and consumers.
"The 2009 Corporate Equality Index shows that corporate America understands that a diverse workforce is critical to remaining successful and competitive," said HRC Foundation president Joe Solmonese. "In the absence of a federal law that prohibits workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, it is up to employers to take the lead and implement policies that ensure all their employees are protected."

What I did
Balboa Park San Diego
Read my review - 5/5 stars
Read my review - 5/5 stars
Day 1:
Rolled in from Vegas on Friday night. The drive out was a dry one, going through the desert. Just looking out the car window made me hot and thirsty. The sun literally bakes you in your seat as you drive. When we arrived we took a much needed opportunity to do laundry and had Thai delivered to our room for dinner. Later we went out for drinks and discovered O'Hungry's The food there is not too great from what the reviews said. We never confirmed that. Instead we partook in the $1 beer.
Day 2:
Woke up. Trying to incorporate some healthy habits while traveling, so we went for what we expected to be a run through old town and into a nearby park. This quickly turned into a hike once we entered Presidio Park. But it was worth the effort. The park ascends to the top of a hill and there you can get a great view of Old Town and the bay below.
The hike wet our appetite for physical activity, so we ventured to Balboa Park. You could spend several days here and not see everything that they have. We had a healthy lunch at the Grow Cafe. It just so happens that the the Museum of Photographic Art is right next door to the cafe, so we figured why not? From October through February the museum is showing the Ruud Van Empel: Strange Beauty exhibit. Each of these works is a collage of many of Van Empel's photos. So if you look at one face or figure for example, that person does not exist in life, rather they are formed from many other photos. I really enjoyed The Office series, which explores how we have dehumanized the work place in recent years. I would encourage anyone having a rough day at work to look at these pieces and laugh, or just empathize with the subjects.
From there we headed back out into the sun and wandered around the park for a few hours. One bird rescue, several street Musicians, one orchid show, one Quinceanera, and one Didgeridoo later, we called it a day and found our way back to Old Town. There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in Oldtown, so can you guess what we had for dinner? I finished the night with hot chocolate and a stroll around the shops at Old Town. Among all of the typical kitschy souvenirs I also found a lot of Mexican pottery and Dia del Muerte art.
Day 3:
Went out early for a hike at Mission Trails Regional Park. At the visitor's center the volunteers suggested we try Climbers Loop Trail. It was a really cool trail where at the very highest point there are large stone bluffs to climb. We watched several groups scale the peaks. After we finished we went back to the visitors center to browse around and I discovered an artist named Sue Britt. She had several paper tapestry works on display there. Too bad I didn't have the $ to snatch up one of her pieces. She only recently started displaying her work, and if my taste in art is worth anything, I predict that she will go far in the art world.
The San Diego episode of our trip is almost over. I will make a separate post about our Whale Watching tour shortly. Until then, I want to conclude by saying that there are so many outdoor / dog friendly places in San Diego, which made me really miss our two dogs. To try to make myself feel better I went on the Just Puppies website tonight to look at pictures of puppies. It didn't help. None are as cute as Stuey and Molly, and none of them are snuggling under the covers with me tonight... Can't wait to see them when we get back.
More on San Diego tomorrow.

Madam Speaker, the expected cash deficit of $1.5 billion for this year has become a $2 billion cash surplus. In light of the sound fiscal position I am delighted to deliver further on core Labour policy objectives of social inclusion and investment in social capital and set the direction for the next decade of prosperity for all New Zealanders.
Nevertheless, ours is a difficult balancing act: we are mindful of the constraints imposed by the external economic environment, our high international indebtedness, high real interest rates, uncomfortable inflationary pressures and a galloping real estate market.
I warned this Budget will have some surprises. At this time, the priority is not for a cut in the company tax rate. This would be expensive and a very indirect, uncertain way to encourage more productive investment.
Businesses will benefit much more from higher net wages for employees and the lower interest and exchange rates that will arise from today's Budget.
In times past New Zealand was widely regarded as a world leader in tax. Following the recommendations of the 2007 OECD report we will again make tax policy on a consistent basis.
There will therefore be no distortionary tax deductions such as for R&D, or tax breaks for KiwiSaver, including any already announced.
While flat-rate bonuses may be paid from time to time to all KiwiSaver accounts as the economy permits, tax breaks are highly inequitable and costly. They are also completely ineffective in solving our real saving problem, which is a national one not a retirement income one.
To significantly take the pressure off interest rates and the exchange rate we must act decisively to remove serious distortions in the housing market.
To allow tax losses on property eventually sold for untaxed capital gain is totally unacceptable.
We will follow the thinking of the 2001 McLeod Tax Review and, subject to a $1 million exemption for owner-occupied dwellings, all equity held in residential property will be taxed as if that equity had been placed in an interest-bearing account at 4 per cent.
In the past two decades New Zealand experienced the fastest growth in inequality in the OECD. The bottom 50 per cent of the population holds only 5 per cent of the wealth, while the top 10 per cent holds 50 per cent. For social cohesion the forces behind these trends must be reversed.
Inflation has been cruel in producing rising average tax rates for low-income workers. The first tax bracket has not been adjusted for inflation since it was set in the late 1980s.
It is very important that inflation adjustments are carried our regularly, as in Australia. The first bracket (15 per cent) will move out to $18,000 and the other brackets will be adjusted for inflation since 2000, as a recent NZIER report has calculated.
The cost will be about $1.5 billion, offset by saving from lower tax evasion and avoidance.
As I said last year, "the most important contributor to economic growth in a modern economy is human capital".
I am announcing today a very substantial improvement in the funding formula for low-decile schools. It is imperative that we build social capital by strengthening schools as the focus of local communities.
To reduce the impact of poor health on the development of our children we will ensure free medical care for all children, including out of hours and dental care.
This Government has already achieved substantial redistribution to families in paid work. We expect this to have a significant impact on child poverty, but far too many children have been left behind.
Pre-election 2005, we vastly improved the work incentive aspect of Working for Families by raising the threshold before families begin to lose tax credits and reducing the rate of loss for extra income.
The complex, expensive In Work Tax Credit is therefore not needed as a work incentive and will be abolished.
Instead we will add $60 to Family Tax Credits for the first child in all families at a net cost of $400 million, thereby returning to an important principle of treating all children the same. Twenty dollars for each child aged under five will become fully universal at a cost of approximately $100 million.
Many aspects of our welfare system were designed for the 1950s and must be rethought for the needs of a modern technological age of flexible labour markets and fluid family relationships.
While we have recently rewritten the Social Security Act to enshrine paid work as the only source of well-being in society, a consensus is needed about these issues.
Today I announce a high-profile Royal Commission to design a system that fits the reality of modern life, suitably values unpaid work and offers adequate protection from the new risks of the 21st century.
I am hopeful, for example, that we will move to individual entitlement for sickness and invalids benefits.
Meanwhile, in line with the policy to inflation-adjust tax thresholds, the income that can be earned by beneficiaries before their benefit is cut is increased from $80 to $160 to allow for inflation of the past 20 years.

Frank shows a golden boot
Page Tools
When Frank Lowy was 60, he said he would retire at 65. He's now 73 and shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, Lowy, a soccer fan all his life, is the man charged with leading the Federal Government-backed revolution in the Australian game, a task to which the adjective "herculean" scarcely does justice.
One of the founding fathers of the National Soccer League in the mid-1970s (the first genuinely national football league in the country), the Westfield boss walked away from the game in the early 1980s, disillusioned with the ethnic domination of the code.
It was a huge loss for soccer, as the business acumen, corporate credibility and political connections he brought to the sport's cause could have helped prevent it from drifting towards ghetto-isation and financial ruin.
When John Howard and Sports Minister David Kemp finally became convinced two years ago that, if Australian sport was to be credible on the world's biggest stage, its domestic soccer sector had to be reformed, they turned to Lowy as their preferred agent of change and he became chairman of the bankrupt Soccer Australia.
Backed by his "dream team" board (which includes formula one supremo Ron Walker, advertising guru John Singleton and financial services expert Brian Schwarz) Lowy has, quite simply, blown the old soccer industry apart and is re-establishing it on a new, sounder footing.
One of his first moves was to shut down the old Soccer Australia and replace it with a new business entity, the Australian Soccer Association. He negotiated with Channel Seven boss Kerry Stokes to end a long-term television deal that was more of a hindrance than a help for both parties.
He then wooed and won Australian sport's hottest administrator, Australian Rugby Union's John O'Neill, as the ASA's chief executive.
Flush with the success of organising a hugely profitable Rugby World Cup, O'Neill didn't come cheap - but, Lowy reasoned, he provided exactly the business know-how required to preside over the reinvention of the game in this country.
His final step was the termination of the NSL - the competition he had done so much to father 27 years ago. It has been an execution that has caused much pain among the game's traditional followers but one Lowy has deemed necessary if the game is to be repackaged in a way that will appeal to all supporters.
His next job is to oversee creation of an elite eight-team competition - modelled on the Super 12 rugby O'Neill developed.

Europeans shift long-held view that social benefits are untouchableBreaking News
PARIS — From blanket health insurance to long vacations and early retirement, the cozy social benefits that have been a way of life in Western Europe since World War II increasingly appear to be luxuries the continent can no longer afford.
Particularly since the global economic crisis erupted in 2008, benefits have begun to stagnate or shrink in the face of exploding government deficits. In effect, the continent has reversed a half-century history of continual improvements that made Western Europe the envy of many and attracted millions of immigrants from less fortunate societies....
France, emblematic of Europe's social advances, has considered a generous protection system part of the landscape ever since Charles de Gaulle embraced a program put forward by Communist resistance groups immediately after World War II. With subsequent additions under the Socialist Party's two turns in power since then, including the 35-hour workweek and more vacation time, the welfare state has since been taken to a level that made this country the envy of many.
When the global crisis hit, the French social protection net — which helps push government expenditures to 54 percent of gross domestic product — cushioned people from the worst effects. But now, as Europe struggles to return to growth, conservatives in and outside the government have said the protections are threatening the health of public finances and holding back the economy.
Godet, the economist, calculated that with a legally mandated five weeks of vacation, national holidays and compensatory time off for working more than 35 hours, French workers and functionaries have accumulated 55 days a year in paid time off. Combined cleverly with "bridges" over workdays that fall between off days, he found, that in effect gives them a week off every month....

Re: Error code 8002AD36
When you say that your family is also having the same problem, do you mean that they are getting disconnected from the internet on their computers? If so then you may have a bad signal problem, but first, turn off your PS3 and cable modem for a minute. Then turn your cable modem on first and wait for all the lights to be solid. Then turn on your PS3 and go to network settings and select easy to set up the connection. Play online for around 30minutes or just see if you get disconnected.
Re: Error code 8002AD36
Most of the posts on this are from 2010. Are you kidding me? This crap has been going on since then? Most of the replies I've seen say internet congestion/wireless signal. This happens at all times of the day/late at night so I'm sure it's not internet congestion. I have a wireless connection (router built into modem) and the modem is maybe 20 ft away so It's not signal strength. I have a perfect signal at any time on my laptop & cell phone. ANYONE have any other clues? Most of you have said it occurs during a video game. I don't play online and this occurs while watching Netflix.
Re: Error code 8002AD36
I can't understand the point of this forum. I came here for answers but it just seems to be site for back yard experts and would-be computer techs to waffle on with unsubstantiated guesses and theories.
I have been suffering from this dreaded 'error' message for years with no explanation. Just today we had a brand new "Billion 7800 N" installed by the tech who sold it to us and guaranteed it's quality. He even allocated ports for both BF3 & COD BLOPS2. Solved the problem? NO!! Continued disconnections with the 8002AD36 message!! Once again, more phone calls to Telstra - who have no idea themselves what 8002AD36 means.
Perhaps any more answers, solutions or theories should be qualified with some substance....

Back to the 6120 Classic: just like its predecessor, it is dual-mode (this time GSM/HSDPA) device that is suitable for America. It is quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850/2100 MHz) which means it can use 3G data in both the States and Europe. Targeted as easy-to-use phone, it packs a lot of features, as it runs on Symbian 9.2 S60 Operating System. Among its features we can note a 2-megapixel camera, microSD slot, and QVGA display with 16 million colors, 64MB RAM and ARM 11 processor with Clock Rate at 369 MHz.

New conditions sometimes line up in ways that help a company.
California-based On Assignment (ASGN) is benefiting from several tail winds. The firm provides staffing in the tech, health care and life sciences fields.
The sluggish economic recovery increases demand for On Assignment's staffing services. Companies are hesitant to take on direct hires when the overall business picture is cloudy.
While a strong recovery could lessen or eliminate that tail wind, other factors could have more staying power.
The new health care law imposes costs on companies that will make short-term and contract-to-hire employees more attractive than direct hires. The law already is being blamed for layoffs among medical device firms — layoffs that could provide companies like On Assignment with a bigger pool of high-quality workers.
Also, the longer-term demographics look favorable. As more boomers retire or limit their work hours, short-term job placement could appeal to high-skill workers who don't want or need full-time employment.
On Assignment grew earnings 38% in 2010 and 261% last year. Revenue climbed 5% and 36% in the same periods. The Street expects EPS to grow 69% this year on a 105% revenue surge.
Acquisitions are partly responsible for the growth.
In May, On Assignment bought Apex Systems, a privately held IT staffing and services company. In 2011, On Assignment's acquisitions increased its reach in physician staffing and clinical research staffing. About 5% of total revenue comes from outside the U.S.
On Assignment has institutional support. In Q3, funds as a whole upped their stake of shares 22% from Q2 to 25.4 million shares. The float is 49 million.
The stock is working on a second stage, base-on-base pattern.

Since Monday two software firms introduced game changing products, and VMware, the top dog in virtualization, reported financial results together with its parent company EMC.
On Monday, BitTorrent unveiled an experimental file sharing service in response to the launch of Mega, the spirited successor of Kim Dotcom's now defunct Megaupload. Codenamed Sync, BitTorrent's cloud locker sports a very minimalistic interface in its current pre-alpha release. The company made it clear that it intends to add more features in the coming months, and said that mobile support is one the top priorities on the list.
The second major update this week came from Microsoft, which launched the latest version of its flagship productivity suit. Office 365 abandoned the one-license-per-machine paradigm for a subscription model that gives paying customers access to the software from all their devices for a limited period of time.
For an annual fee of $99.99, you get the consumer edition of Office 365, access to product updates, 20GB of SkyDrive space and 60 Skype minutes per month. The price shoots up to $149.99/year for business users, but the deal includes extra perks such as 25GB Outlook mailbox, built-in teleconferencing capabilities and free hosting for site builders.
VMware also had some news this week. A few days ago the company reported earnings for Q4 2012, one of its best quarters to date with better than expected profit and revenue. The virtualization company boasts strong growth in a tough global economy, but posted a pessimistic revenue guidance for 2013 that failed to meet the Street's estimates.
VMware's stock tanked by as much as 21 percentage points in after-hour trading as investors digested the pessimistic outlook. In the aftermath, EMC's shares plummeted as well.

To make agriculture a profitable profession, while deciding the minimum support price (MSP) of agriculture products, the cost of enhanced expenses on production, rise in diesel and fertiliser prices should be evaluated by the government, state leader of opposition Sunil Jakhar has said.
Addressing a committee of the party formed on social and economic challenges at the Congress Chintin Shivir at Jaipur, Jakhar said it's regretful that in order to fill the grain stores of the nation its produce has been buried under the debt.
As and when there is more production of crops, farmers have no choice but to throw it away on roads, while in case of less production it's only a handful of traders who take lion's share of the profit, he said.
The public welfare schemes should be made and implemented in view of interests of the urban poor while urbanisation should be done in a systematic manner to facilitate better life and amenities to all, he added.

Korean taekwondo... Prepare to be inspired!
In this section of our site we share our Korean Taekwondo tour Stories.
In April 2009 we traveled to Korea with 9 other members of Spirit Taekwondo.
Our amazing journey took us to major cities, rural villages and universities.
We trained in taekwondo, tkd sparring, hapkido, gumdo, taekwonstick and Korean yoga.
We trained with Grandmasters, Masters, university students and children.
And in every case. We witnessed.
And unbelievable humility.
We were continually overwhelmed by the warmth of the Korean people.
And our journey through Korea motivated and inspired us beyond measure.
We hope that by sharing our stories. We can motivate and inspire you. In your taekwondo journey.
You can share some of our greatest memories of Korea and taekwondo here.
Taekwondo training is part of Korean culture
Taekwondo training is available everywhere in Korea. Tkd is part of the Korean culture. There are Dojangs in every town.
However taekwondo training is viewed a bit differently in Korea compared to more western societies.
Korean people see tkd as a form of education. And tkd is not really seen as a hobby or leisure pursuit.
Taekwondo is something that Korean children often learn as part of their schooling. That Korean soldiers learn in the army. But something that adults only seem to continue if it is their profession.
Some of us on the tour started taekwondo training in our 30s and 40s. The idea of starting to train as an adult is a concept quite alien to Korean people.
But of course it is a concept which was embraced with typical Korean respect and enthusiasm. And us older students were treated like royalty!
Here's more detail about our Korean taekwondo training and some important lessons we learned.
Korean taekwondo sparring is fast and furious
We were lucky enough to experience taekwondo sparring training Korean style.
At Chung Cheong University.
Here the students overwhelmed us with their enthusiasm.
And the amazingly high standard of their tkd.
We learned one secret to sparring success.
1000 speed kicks.
Three times a day.
Every single day!
Quite something!
Click here to read about our taekwondo sparring experience at Chung Cheong University.
Taekwondo and hapkido- Master Park style!
Master Park Kil Jun is an awesome athlete.
We were lucky enough to start our tour at his Dojang in Seoul.
It was a great beginning!
Master Park certainly put us through our paces in Korean taekwondo kicks and hapkido.
And by the end of four days.
We could all cat roll.
And break fall.
And we'd learned great locks and throws.
Which were deceptively simple.
Yet devastatingly effective!
Here's more detail about our fantastic taekwondo and hapkido training with Master Park.
Taekwondo and yoga with Master Kim
We thought Korean Yoga might be a gentle and easy part of our tour!
How wrong were we?!
Korean Yoga is tough.
Very tough!
It works every muscle of the body.
Building an excellent mix of strength and flexibility.
Combined with a calm mind.
It's a great thing to practice alongside taekwondo.

Kukkiwon taekwondo headquarters the home of wtf
We enjoyed a great day at Kukkiwon taekwondo headquarters.
The home of wtf taekwondo.
We saw training for poomse referees in the main Dojang.
We trained in an stunning ancient Korean location.
As part of the Kukkiwon taekwondo experience for foreigners.
And the highlight?
Was a breathtaking display by the Kukkiwon Demonstration team.
Pulled off despite appalling weather conditions.
A true demonstration of Korean Spirit!
Here's much more about our fascinating day at Kukkiwon.
Taekwonstick with Master Cho
Are all martial arts the same?
Does it matter if the weapon is a stick?
Or your hand?
Or your foot?
These were some of the questions posed by Master Won-Kyn Cho.
As we learned Korean taekwondo stick defense in the form of taekwonstick.
It was great fun.
And hard work.
We tested our coordination.
And the trust in our partner!

The Tauranga woman who bought a winning $9.85 million Lotto Powerball ticket on a whim hid it in a locked tin box in a wardrobe before claiming the prize.
The woman took the security precautions after realising on Saturday night she had scooped the big win.
She provided some information about herself yesterday after coming forward but did not want to be identified.
A confessed Absolutely Fabulous fan, she planned to celebrate by taking close friends to "dinner at a nice restaurant".
"I'll definitely be looking after the bill," she said in answers supplied to the Bay of Plenty Times.
The woman, who would not reveal her age or occupation, claimed the prize in person at the New Zealand Lotteries Commission office in Wellington yesterday after keeping the ticket secure.
"I locked it in a tin box with a padlock and hid it in a wardrobe. I was quite sure it would be safe in there.
I only had to check on it once."
The woman said she had never been rich but "always comfortable". People described her as humble, friendly, kind and caring, she said.
"I really enjoy sewing, travel, cooking and doing fitness activities. I'm also a massive fan of Absolutely Fabulous."
She decided to buy the Triple Dip ticket from Mount Paper Power at Central Parade on a whim: "I was just passing by the shop and randomly thought I'd give it a go."
The woman was cooking dinner on Saturday night and took a break to check the draw results on her phone - and found she had won.
"I had to check quite a few times because I couldn't believe it was actually happening. When I realised I had won, I suddenly lost my appetite," she said.
"I phoned my brother to tell him the news and he replied, 'I never thought I would ever have the chance to say my sister is a multi-millionaire'."
The woman said the win was beginning to "sink in now". She planned to build her dream house in Tauranga, upgrade her car and travel.
She declined to say what line of work she was in but said she was considering giving it up.
"I might give up work, I haven't decided yet. But whatever happens, I won't let this win change me. It will just be lovely to not have to worry about money and to spend more time with my family."
Mount Paper Power owner Tere Crookes told the Bay of Plenty Times the store had been abuzz about the win yesterday.
"There have been lots of congratulations and people checking their tickets to see if it was them," she said. "It's just amazing."
Another Tauranga Lotto player won $479,069 on Saturday in Lotto Strike.

A Cappella Night! A Fundraiser Benefitting the Theresa Academy
Satellite Lane A Cappella
Friday, June 20, 2014 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
In an effort to raise funds and awareness, Satellite Lane is proud to announce that we will be hosting a fundraiser benefitting the Theresa Academy of Performing Arts, an organization that gives children with special needs the opportunity to thrive in the arts, all under one roof. Self-described as a "fill in the cracks" organization, TAPA strives "to touch the lives of special needs children through its support of workshops and programs of enrichment and therapy." We are hoping to raise enough money to send a number of children to the TAPA Summer Academy!
We will be raffling off TONS of prizes and baskets in a Chinese-auction style raffle. Some of these prizes include tickets to concerts, TV shows, signed merchandise, family fun activities, and much more! There will also be a 50/50 raffle for all guests that are present.

*Aside from the 50/50, you do not have to be present to win a raffle or basket.
The fun doesn't stop with the raffles, though; after all, it is A CAPPELLA NIGHT! We will be having performances by Chock Full of Notes from Plainview High School, a quintet from Five Towns College in Dix Hills, and Satellite Lane! On top of that, we will also be serving lots of delicious desserts to everyone in attendance.

BeschreibungHere is the astonishing true story of the harrowing experiences of a young German seminarian drafted into Hitler's dreaded SS at the onset of World War II. Without betraying his Christian ideals, against all odds, and in the face of Evil, Gereon Goldmann was able to complete his priestly training, be ordained, and secretly minister to German Catholic soldiers and innocent civilian victims caught up in the horrors of war. How it all came to pass will astound you.Father Goldmann tells of his own incredible experiences of the trials of war, his many escapes from almost certain death, and the diabolical persecution that he and his fellow Catholic soldiers encountered on account of their faith. What emerges is an extraordinary witness to the workings of Divine Providence and the undying power of love, prayer, faith, and sacrifice.
