Without question, one of the more difficult things for new potential clients to understand is our prepay model. It can be very confusing for people who have worked with traditional travel agents in the past. Frequently I find myself questioning whether it's the right model for us, and so far, I've yet to change my mind.
Usually, this topic comes up after someone finds us on Yelp. They see our service, assume we're a regular old travel agency, and call us up asking how much it costs to fly from XX to YY. When we explain to them that they have to sign up for our service before we can give them that information, it usually ends up with them saying they'll think about it. That, of course, is code for "no way am I paying you up front."
When we get those calls, I always wonder if we should go with a more traditional model where we take all the risk. So far, I've yet to find a reason to seriously consider that option.
The way I see it, that kind of model could go two ways. One, it could just have people pay after we find them a price they like, when they book. But what's to stop someone from just taking that suggestion we give them and walking away to book themselves? We put a lot of work into finding the best fares for people, and if we were to take no payment up front, then we'd have to invest a lot of time with the potential for no reward.
The other model would go something like this: Tell people that if they come to us with a fare, we get to keep half the difference between what we save them when we do the search. It's a bit of an ambulance-chasing attorney model, where we keep a cut of the winnings but get nothing if we lose. It has the potential to pay dividends in some cases, but it could also just end up being miserable for us. I can see people who think they have the best fare after doing a lot of research coming to us just for validation. My guess is that the winnings would be less than stellar and it would largely attract people looking to game the system.
That's why I like the model we have. It means that we get people who are serious about traveling and not just looking for a casual quote. Still, we don't want to rip people off. That's why we have our money back guarantee. If someone isn't happy with the service they get after the fact, then they'll get their money back without any hoops to jump through. So far, we've had just two people ask for their money back. In both cases, I think it was someone who didn't fully understand our business. That's not a lot of unhappy campers.
Of course, we can be more flexible with our corporate clients, and we are. But in general, I think we'll continue to stick with our current model. That being said, every time someone decides to "think about it," I'm sure I'll keep considering whether we're on the right path or not.

Citizens opposed to Whittaker/Whole Foods project offer their final arguments
Vote on the alley vacation on April 8 will either give it the go ahead or not
With the final vote on the Whole Foods/Whittaker project coming up on April 8, after being deferred at the last meeting of the Seattle City Council Transportation Committee meeting, the opposition has been busy.
This is not the group that calls itself "Getting it Right for West Seattle" but rather a group of people who feel strongly about mitigating the impacts of the project and who hope to influence the design decisions made.
They've assembled a letter addressed to Seattle City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen who chairs the Transportation Committee and a group of documents in support of their position and claims. Here's their letter and their documents are found at the links.
RE: Alley Vacation Petition for the 4755 Fauntleroy Way SW Development Proposal
Dear Councilmember Rasmussen:
Thank you for the explanation of your analysis of the proposed development at 4755 Fauntleroy Way SW in West Seattle. We appreciate the time you took to listen and respond to community inquiries about this proposal. We continue to be concerned about several aspects of this proposal presented during public testimony by the developer and others that appear to be in error. This letter is sent to ensure that the record is accurate and that our concerns are appropriately considered.
Triangle Plan - First, we want to make it clear, we are not opposed to redevelopment of this site within the applicable zoning code requirements. We also feel strongly about adherence to the Triangle Plan because this is a legacy decision that our community will live with for 50 to 75 years (at a minimum). The community, including residents, businesses owners, and other interested parties, dedicated significant time and effort to making the Triangle Plan the best guidance possible for the life of the planning area. Attached is an analysis of concerns we have with the proposed development's compliance with the Triangle Plan in Exhibit A - Triangle Plan.
Public Benefit - We understand the alley vacation is not a "giving" of the public right-of-way to the property owner, but a market rate sale. We hold that public property is a limited resource that should not be sold or otherwise transferred out of public ownership without substantial public benefit being achieved. To that end, we sought, without success, a Community Benefit Agreement with the developer that would establish terms of the benefits accruing to the community from such transfer. We remain concerned that some of the benefits identified by the developer to justify the alley vacation are standard requirements under the Seattle Municipal Code and should not, therefore, be counted toward the benefit required for vacating public right-of-way. Please see the full discussion in Exhibit B - Public Benefit.
Community Outreach - Members of the community have been actively involved in the review of this project since first presented in 2012. We appreciate that the developer made presentations at meetings with the community. We are concerned that on Page 5 of the developers March 11, 2014 presentation to the Transportation Committee, many of the Community Outreach Meetings listed with a particular group actually involved only one or two members associated with that group. Further, the meetings were held in conjunction with members of other groups. The developer has by accident or design overstated their outreach to the West Seattle community. This is important because it may appear that a particular group or board has supported the project, when in reality that group or board never saw a presentation. Please see full discussion in Exhibit C - Community Outreach.
Traffic Impacts - We also are concerned about the lack of a more robust traffic analysis for the retail component. In May of 2013, we submitted to the Seattle Design Commission (SDC) the attached pictures and vehicle counts of actual delivery truck traffic patterns and conflicts associated with the Whole Foods located in Seattle's Roosevelt neighborhood. We also provided the SDC with a copy of the USDOT/WSDOT-sponsored study of truck traffic at Puget Sound grocery stores, which showed that even at conventional grocery stores, freight deliveries are much more frequent than project proponents assume. We ask that you look carefully at these highly relevant comparisons because they do not comport with the traffic analysis relied on by the Seattle Department of Transportation in making its recommendations to the City Council on this development. There is also additional analysis available from work done by Ross Tilghman, P.E, who is now a member of the Seattle Design Commission. Please see Exhibit D - Traffic Impacts.
Review Process - Much has been made of the project reviews before the Southwest Design Review Board (SWDRB) and the Seattle Design Commission. We attended all of the public meetings and we believe that these reviews were much more tentative than characterized in public testimony. The SWDRB was not unanimous in its final approval. The SDC conditionally approved the vacation, and had scheduled an administrative review of a key design condition prior to the alley vacation hearing. But that review was cancelled purportedly because the developers were not ready to provide updated plans. This is consistent with what happened to the public as this proposal moved forward, i.e., the chance for public review continually shifted, and our comment opportunities diminished. Please see Exhibit E - Review Process.
Finally, we believe the inaccuracies and insufficiencies in the public record are enough to ask the City Council to pause in its deliberations. Pretty drawings and clever naming does not change a poor development into a good one. If this developer has the staying power to do a development that provides the legacy and cornerstone project the West Seattle community is looking for, there is no need to rush this forward. We believe there are sufficient reasons to hit the pause button and make sure the record is clear and correct before you proceed.
Thank you for your consideration.

After an outbreak of spring last Thursday and warm weather over the weekend, the forecast is for a little cooler, but still very nice, weather this week. Highs should be between 55 and 65 degrees and lows between 27 and 38 degrees. There's a chance of rain showers, and the breeze should be in the 13- 16 miles-per-hour category. Hobnobbing

#4 Mar 7, 2010
Research it.
I know nothing of him.
Go to a BOARD certified PLASTIC SURGEON.
You will have to pay quite a bit, but you do not shop cheapest price on a plastic surgery.
That is when people get in trouble.
Call his office and ask for referrals. Also ask if he has had any malpractice problems.
I am sure he is good, but do some research.
Good Luck!
#5 Apr 10, 2010

#15 May 3, 2010
Dr. Chaney did a good job on my procedure.
#16 May 4, 2010
I personally had Breast Augmentation with Lift done by this Surgeon and my chest is beautiful...after having 3 children I had nothing left...I was given numerous references of patients to talk to...I requested information on his experience which all checked out...and yes he is Board Certified...and since then not only have my friends and family been to him with great results, but I was treated like a person instead of a paycheck to Dr. Cheney and his staff who were amazing...anyone can go to a fancy surgery center and get exactly that "fanciness"...I have heard that there is alot of upset from the competition but if you are lucky enough to have someone like Dr. Cheney who will sit and spend time with you and give you a true consultation, answer every question that you may have good and bad...then you are fortunate. They get my referrals...!!!
#17 May 4, 2010
I wanted to add something else to this forum...I went to Brunswick to look into getting my leg veins done with Dr. Greg Martin of Coastal Georgia Vein Center...well while there I was advised that Dr. Cheney was just a horrible surgeon, so I went on to check out Dr. Martin to see what could be hiding in his closet...I was shocked...he was forced to find another medical specialty other than Surgery due to the deaths and life threatening infections he caused so he now practices veins in Brunswick and Valdosta...I DID NOT GO BACK TO DR. MARTIN...I guess insulting someone else is easier than accepting your own shortcomings...in the end we all answer to god above...
#18 May 5, 2010
Georgia Girl,
I am glad things went well for you and I know nothing of this Doctor. Good quality surgery is good quality surgery. It has nothing to do with fanciness. It is quality. I have had one cosmetic procedure done and it was not cheap, but he was an excellent physician. You pay for quality. My mother had work done in Jacksonville.
The physician she used was where other medical professionals take their family. She spent close to $20,000. She looks amazing and natural. You almost have to guess if she had any work done at all. She was also put on a full vitamine regime and skin creams for six months before and after her surgery so that she would heal very nicely. She had a lot of work done on her skin and face. It is not fanciness . It was good quality medical intervention and surgery. You do not shop sale prices when coming to your health. Kinda of like you would not buy a cheap carseat for your child.
#19 May 10, 2010
I have paid $1500 in deposit and now they tell me that it is non refundable never mentioned that at the consultation and the time I paid it. Don't say anything about no refunds on the receipt

Reality Check Recap: June 11th, 2014
Another school shooting took place, this time in Oregon. A gunman killed one student and wounded a teacher at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, which is outside of Portland. 14-year-old Emilio Hoffman was killed in the boys locker room. The gunman also died, most likely self-inflicted. This is the third violent act on a school campus in three weeks. Teacher Todd Rispler was shot and was still able to get to the office and initiate the school lockdown. (According to the group Everytown for Gun Safety, this is the 74th violent incident involving guns in schools since Newtown. President Obama pointed out that averages to one a week.)

There's been a shocking upset in the Virginia primary election. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost in an upset to an unknown local economics professor Dave Brat. This is crazy because Cantor was thought to be in line to as the next speaker of the House. Brat has said Cantor is not conservative enough. This is the biggest win by a tea party challenger in this year's primaries.

And a man led police on a car chase through two states…on a tractor. 20-year-old Dustin D. Clouse, who's from Indiana, evaded the cops for two hours on his tractor, and crossed state lines. Police first approached Clouse about a report of vandalism while he was sitting on his tractor and he simply drove away. A two-hour low speed chase ensued...the tractor reaches up to 18mph. Clouse was eventually stopped when the tractor had some mechanical issues and stopped. He still wouldn't get off and police used a taser to get him off and take him into custody.

The cinema experience is something we all love. The thrill of watching a new film is hard to ignore … and so are the treats. From hotdogs and nachos to the classic cinema combination of popcorn, fizzy drinks and sweets, there are plenty of treats to keep you content throughout your film.
The problem with all this? The price of course
According to numerous investigations, cinema snacks are given a hefty mark-up before they go on sale to the public. The Daily Record issued a report in May 2013 which looked at the true cost of a family day out and suggested cinema popcorn may be subject to a mark-up of as much as 700% seeing as kernels cost pennies while a regular box of sweet or salted popped goodies is likely to cost the average punter £4.50.
Hardly surprising that in July 2011 The Daily Mail reported that around 90% of movie-goers felt popcorn was too expensive!
The solution
So what's the solution for those looking to get the most out of their films without paying through the nose for it? Taking your own snacks is always an option but not all cinemas are happy about this protocol. You can avoid snacking altogether while enjoying a new release but that detracts from the overall enjoyment and can make a three-hour epic that much harder to stomach.
Another option is to avoid the cinema altogether and enjoy films from the comfort of your own home. With plenty of movie rental services now available online, not to mention the great selection of TV Packages for digital TV which include film channels and subscriptions, you don't need to travel to the cinema to find great films.
Whatever type of film you're interested in, you're sure to find something worth watching. All you need then is the snacks … and here are some of our favourite film food recipes.
Homemade popcorn
Whether you have your own popcorn machine and kernels or buy microwaveable bags to pop in a couple of minutes, homemade popcorn always tastes best. Give this snack some extra flavour by mixing in chocolates and sweets to make your own sugary combination. Marshmallows work particularly well and can even melt a little if you get them hot enough but chocolate buttons and gummy sweets are other favourites.
A simple and easy recipe to make, all you need here is a few bags of the classic crisps, a few dips and plenty of cheese. Melt the cheese so that it's nice and gooey and covers the nachos. Then arrange your dips at the side and enjoy!
Pick 'n' mix
If you want to bring the cinema experience to your front room without any compromises then making your own pick 'n' mix stand is a must. Children are sure to be a fan of this idea and it's relatively easy to put together.
Arrange plastic containers with different sweets in your kitchen or dining room and send everyone round with a small paper bag to fill up. You can even use kitchen spoons to replace the plastic scoops.
You can also use this idea when creating your own ice-cream treats. Give everyone a bowl to fill up with their favourite flavour ice-cream and then send them round the pick 'n' mix stand to add their favourite toppings. Make sure you include plenty of source options and wafers too!

People have been traveling with airbags lately. No, not their co-workers or annoying neighbors, but actual automobile airbags... You're probably asking the same thing I asked. Why? Well…I have learned that airbags are extremely expensive to replace once they've been deployed. And they're even more expensive in Europe, so people are buying them here in the U.S. and putting them in their checked baggage and carry-on luggage to avoid shipping costs. (Mostly checked baggage)
What's the big deal you might ask? According to the FAA Office of Security and Hazardous Material, airbag actuators are on the list of hazardous materials and are prohibited from transport aboard passenger aircraft. (Who knew???) Take a look here to see how airbags are inflated. (Similar to a solid rocket booster) Even though it will be more expensive to ship, it will save you a lot of hassle in the end.
Disclaimer: Co-workers or annoying neighbors may be referred to as airbags, but they are not considered hazmat.

Heart versus mind : the functions of emotional and cognitive loyalty
Russell-Bennett, Rebekah & Hartel, Charmine (2009) Heart versus mind : the functions of emotional and cognitive loyalty. Australasian Marketing Journal, 18(1), pp. 1-7.
Accepted Version
(PDF 177kB)
While there is substantial research on attitudinal and behavioral loyalty, the deconstruction of attitudinal loyalty into its two key components – emotional and cognitive loyalty – has been largely ignored. Despite the existence of managerial strategies aimed at increasing each of these two components, there is little academic research to support these managerial efforts. This paper seeks to advance the understanding of emotional and cognitive brand loyalty by examining the psychological function that these dimensions of brand loyalty perform for the consumer. We employ Katz's (1960) four functions of attitudes (utilitarian, knowledge, value-expression, ego-defence) to investigate this question. Surveys using a convenience sample were completed by 268 consumers in two metropolitan cities on a variety of goods, services and durable products. The relationship between the functions and dimensions of loyalty were examined using MANOVA. The results show that both the utilitarian and knowledge functions of loyalty are significantly positively related to cognitive loyalty while the ego-defensive function of loyalty is significantly positively related to emotional loyalty. The results for the value-expressive function of loyalty were nonsignificant.

Sacred 2 - Screens @ Worthplaying
A new batch of Sacred 2 screens can be found at Worthplaying.
More information.
Hmm.. well, I like my female warriors in high heels and thongs as much as the next guy.. but, looking closely at the art work (as much as the quality of the screen shots will allow), I'm not that enthusiastic about the quality of the artwork (characters mostly) as I'd like to be. Maybe it will play really well. And no, I didn't play Sacred (the first one)
The ponytails are what seal the deal for me. I must have this game asap
That one screen with the Liger gives new meaning to the term 'riding bare-back (side)' ;)
I wonder why this game supposedly will have some features on the XBox 360 version that the PC can't handle, because the graphics don't look that great.
I think it looks reasonable but i wouldn't have suspected the seraphim was a "Fallen Angel" though.
There's more good info's at the new Sacred 2 web site. http://www.sacred2.com/
That's good. I feel ya, brotha… :)

The owner of the Posh Boutique by Reante'a wants everyone to share in her love of handbags, earrings and other accessories.
The owner of the Posh Boutique by Reante'a wants everyone to share in her love of handbags, earrings and other accessories.
"I opened the boutique because I love to shop," Reante'a Norman-Wright said. "I love shoes, I love clothes, but I especially like accessories."
The new boutique on Talbert Boulevard specializes in affordable high-end fashion accessories and has a large selection of bangles, bracelets, watches, rings, handbags, necklaces and more.
Norman-Wright said she got the idea from her favorite shop in Myrtle Beach, Bijuju, and her inspiration from her family, friends and pastor. She says that she has always wanted to own a business and believed that the timing was finally right.
"When I was 25, I said I wanted to own my own boutique," she said. "When I reached 35 I realized that life was too short, and I had to just go for it."
She said after much praying and discussion, she decided to open the store July 27 to take advantage of the tax-free weekend. She is planning on holding a grand opening Aug. 31 with door prizes and a day-long 10 percent discount on items in the store.
This is the first business endeavor for Norman-Wright, but she said that there is a need for a boutique like this in Lexington.
"There are a lot of places in town who sell clothes and accessories, but no place that is just for scarves, purses, necklaces and things like that," she said. "I wanted a place that offered something for all budgets."
Norman-Wright says that she may expand into shoes and clothing in the future, but for right now she is limited by her space and wants to make sure not to grow too far too fast.
The boutique is operating on limited hours because Norman-Wright has a full-time job with the City of Lexington. She is closed Wednesdays and Sundays to attend church.
Norman-Wright said the one thing she wants people to know is that her items may look expensive, but they are quite affordable.
"I don't want people to be intimidated by the decor," she said. "My aim is to make high-end fashion affordable to all people."
Posh Boutique by Reante'a is at 57 S. Talbert Blvd. at the Woodbriar Plaza. Hours of operation are from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. The Facebook page is www.facebook.com/pages/Posh-Boutique-by-Reantea/125330347616268.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter Ecoboost
There's an analogy to diesel engines hiding in the new Ford Fiesta with the 1.0-liter EcoBoost powerplant. There's still a segment of the population that has bad memories of diesel engines, and that makes it harder for Audi or Volkswagen to sell their new clean diesels in the US today. Not impossible, but more of a challenge than it needs to be. In the same way, ask any car geek if they've had good experiences with three-cylinder engines, and the response is likely to be a flashback to a bad ride in a Geo Metro.
But, if no one were to tell you that the new Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost is rocking three cylinders, you'd probably be hard pressed to notice. The engine has already found a home in the Ford Focus (read our Quick Spin) and, after driving about 100 miles around Los Angeles and the Malibu hills in a Euro-spec Fiesta equipped with one, we can safely say that this is a solid B-segment car - one that happens to get over 40 miles per gallon (city) without a hybrid powertrain. Here's what we learned about the car and Ford's plans to bring it to the US.
The Fiesta with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is already on sale in Europe, and will come to the US in about a year, in late 2013. There will be a few little changes (the Econetic badges will be replaced with the EcoBoost wording that we have here) and what we think is a big one. Specifically, auto start-stop, which is available on the European model, will not be an option for Americans. The reason, we were told, is that B-segment customers are extremely price sensitive, and spending a few hundred extra bucks on this technology - which the EPA tests still don't quite understand - is something Ford doesn't expect them to do. There is still a chance this will change, though.
Still, at an estimated 40+ mpg, this flavor of the Fiesta will likely be the "most fuel-efficient, non-hybrid vehicle sold in North America." The current high-mileage Fiesta SFE model gets 40 on the highway (and 33 combined, 29 city). Ford is not talking about combined or city mpg estimates for the new Fiesta just yet.
It bears repeating that you do not feel that this is a shaky three-cylinder engine. The power - 123 horses - is there when you want it, with plenty of low-end torque. Some people on our drive were bothered by noise from the high-speed turbocharger that spins up to 248,000 rpm "almost instantaneously," but this is not enough to detract many points from the overall package.
Also, since a three-cylinder engine is inherently imbalanced, Ford optimized the engine mounts and made other adjustments to decouple engine shaking forces for "extreme smoothness." It worked.
For shorter people, the low placement of the side mirrors, especially on the passenger side, might be a problem. I'm about 5'9", and it was fine, but my co-pilot on this drive was a few inches shorter and she could not easily use the mirrors. They do sit awfully low, as you can see here.
Going around tight corners, the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost feels a heckuva lot better than the Honda Fit in the same situation, but we found it roughly the same as the new Chevrolet Spark, two vehicles it will compete against for frugal-minded city drivers.
Some of the other ways the new Fiesta will try to set itself apart is the big "40+ mpg!" sign that's sure to be emblazoned all over the dealership, the connectivity of Sync and MyFordTouch (with a new, 6.5-inch touch screen) and Sony HD radio.
Jim Farley, executive vice president of global marketing, sales, service and Lincoln, said the new Fiesta is part of Ford's new high-mpg line-up, making fuel economy a reason to buy a Ford. It used to be, he said, "when people thought fuel economy, they did not think of Ford. We have made a tremendous amount of progress in the last few years of changing that perception."
Put all this together and you've got a compelling "smaller is better" package that we need more details on to properly assess (price is a big one). For years, people have been asking for the Euro-spec Fiesta in the US. Well, we're going to get it, start-stop excluded.Continue reading 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter Ecoboost

text: CEOi, Bank of America, GE Healthcare, Janssen Research and Development and Merck Partner with Banner Alzheimer's Institute to Encourage Enrollment in Alzheimer's Prevention Registry PHOENIX, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Recognizing the need to accelerate research to prevent Alzheimer's disease and engage consumers, Banner Alzheimer's Institute (BAI) announced a major multi-corporation partnership today. The Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer's disease (CEOi) and many of its member companies including: Bank of America, GE Healthcare, Janssen Research and Development, LLC., and Merck will partner together to highlight the need for greater research progress, a key emphasis of World Alzheimer's Day this Saturday. "If we are to stop Alzheimer's by 2025, people with this disease must join the battle by volunteering to test potential new medicines. Thanks to these companies for bringing a way for Americans to raise their hands to volunteer to the attention of their employees," said George Vradenburg, founder and convener of CEOi. Every year on World Alzheimer's Day, Alzheimer's organizations on every continent focus on raising awareness about the disease and related dementias. This devastating, debilitating and incurable disease affects more than 5.2 million Americans with one new case diagnosed every 68 seconds. By 2050, that number could nearly triple. "Only by working together can we find ways to prevent Alzheimer's before we lose another generation," said Dr. Eric M. Reiman, CEO of Banner Research and executive director of Banner Alzheimer's Institute. "We are grateful to the CEOi, Bank of America, GE Healthcare, Janssen Research and Development and Merck for their commitment to this important fight." BAI will be implementing a public service campaign featuring digital public service messages (PSAs) that encourage people to sign up for the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry. The Registry is an online community of people who are interested in making an impact on Alzheimer's research to help stop the disease. It provides regular updates on the latest scientific advances, as well as information on overall brain health. And to overcome one of the biggest obstacles to clinical research, the Registry supports enrollment into a variety of Alzheimer's prevention studies across the country. BAI created the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry ( www.endALZnow.org) as part of its mission to end the disease through research at its earliest, pre-symptomatic stages. Such work and other studies often must screen 10 to 15 times the number of people needed because most trials require specific criteria for participation, and finding enough participants can delay research significantly. About Banner Alzheimer's Institute Through its research and care, Banner Alzheimer's Institute (BAI) is dedicated to the goal of ending Alzheimer's disease without losing another generation. It is helping to launch a new era of Alzheimer's research—treatment and prevention at the pre-symptomatic stage—and to establish a new comprehensive model of care. Established in 2006 by Banner Health, one of the country's largest nonprofit health care systems, BAI has a three-fold focus: to conduct revolutionary studies in the detection, treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's; to set a national standard of patient and family care; and to forge scientific collaborations that bring together institutions and disciplines internationally. The Alzheimer's Prevention Registry is a shared resource for the general research community and organizations nationwide and a resource for anyone interested in the latest advances in Alzheimer's prevention work. It draws on the support of its other partners, the Geoffrey Beene Gives Back Alzheimer's Initiative and the Alzheimer's Research Forum, and the guidance of leading U.S. researchers and advocates, including Drs. Paul Aisen, Marilyn Albert, Jeffrey Cummings, Jennifer Manly, Ronald Petersen, Reisa Sperling and Michael Weiner. The Registry is part of the Alzheimer's Prevention Initiative (API), an international research collaborative.

In 2012, Kendall Rogers and Mike Robinson built a pedal-powered cart that housed a commercial refrigerator, a hand-washing sink, cabinets for storage and a two-ton brick pizza oven. Calling themselves Clove Cart Pizza Peddlers, they planned to pedal the cart around town, selling handmade and freshly baked pies at the Clark Fork Market and elsewhere. The plan seemed complete, save for one hiccup: they couldn't find a Missoula City-County Health Department-approved kitchen in which to prep their food and wash their dishes.
"It was a month before farmers market started, and I still hadn't found my commissary," Rogers says. "And it was just crazy, because you get your cart all established and then you realize all the rules and regulations, and that's a whole other ball of wax. I guess I made an assumption that it would be easy in this town, but it really wasn't."
- Cathrine L. Walters
- Kendall Rogers, left, and Emma Poole of Clove Cart Pizza Peddlers roll pizza dough in Mama's Pantry Commercial Kitchen. Use of the recently opened community kitchen has spiked with the start of farmers market season.
The health department's regulations for wholesale food manufacturing—the umbrella under which Clove Cart and other street-food and market vendors fall—are thorough, to say the least. For example, ventilation hoods must be placed over nearly all heat-producing units. Sinks must be reserved for specific purposes, such as vegetable cleaning. Only established commercial kitchens can meet these kinds of stringent requirements, and when Rogers was starting her cart, those were difficult for small vendors to access. Rogers found one available in a restaurant, but only during its late-night or early morning off hours.
"I was at a crossroads," Rogers says. "By the end of last year, I needed to figure out how I was going to increase my business and meet all the [health department] rules."
The solution emerged in September 2013 when Erin Horner rented space in the Holiday Village strip mall on Brooks Street and opened Mama's Pantry Commercial Kitchen, a health department-approved community kitchen designed specifically with small vendors in mind. With the May 3 opening of the Clark Fork Market and the Missoula Farmers Market beginning its season on May 10, a wave of established vendors like Rogers are now reserving time in the relatively new community kitchen. Horner says she's also getting regular calls from people hoping to launch new food businesses during Missoula's busy market season.
"It's really neat to have people call that just woke up this morning and went, 'I love to make this. I wonder if everyone else would like to try it?'" Horner says. "It's great to get those calls. We get them on a daily basis. But there is a process—and sometimes, depending on what you're making, the process can be long."
Horner is intimately familiar with the challenges inherent in that process. She's sold homemade jams and jellies at the Clark Fork Market since 2006 and her own experiences helped inspire her to open Mama's Pantry.
"About two years ago we started hearing some of the vendors down at the market that were saying, 'We don't think we're going to be able to keep coming back. We don't have a kitchen available to us. We can only get in after midnight.' And this, that and the other," Horner says.
Last year, Horner decided to start selling her Mama's Pantry brand of products in stores, which meant she too would need to find a commercial kitchen to use. While she considered building a private kitchen for her production, she decided instead that a shared space would both defray her costs and provide a much-needed resource for others in Missoula's growing street- and market-food community.
A series of restaurants had previously occupied the space Horner chose for Mama's Pantry, so the infrastructure—as well as some of the equipment—she needed was already in place. Even so, Horner invested heavily to purchase new prep tables, a mixer, a freezer and other supplies. After receiving approval from the health department, Horner began using the kitchen herself and renting it out to others on an hourly basis. Among her first renters were Nicole Taranto and Bradley Daniel, who were in the process of launching a food cart called Bao Chow, which offers steamed Asian buns.
"Erin was really good about working with us on a price when we first started, because she knew it was hard for us to afford full price," Taranto says. "So, she's kind of been a godsend in helping us get going."
While the commercial kitchen struggled during the slow months of its first winter in business, it survived by diversifying. In addition to food vendors like Bao Chow, caterers rented Mama's Pantry before major events, and social workers used the space to teach cooking skills to their clients. As use of the kitchen—and inquiries about its availability—increases with the start of market season, Horner faces a new challenge: accommodating everyone who wants to use it.
"We won't turn people away," Horner says. "No way. If you have something you want to make, that's what we're here for. We'll work through it. We'll figure something out."

Dalai Lama visits Alabama church at center of civil rights movement
By Sherrel Wheeler Stewart
BIRMINGHAM Ala. (Reuters) - The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, visited one of America's sacred sanctuaries on Saturday, touring the church where four African-American girls were killed in a 1963 bombing that galvanized the civil rights movement.
As more than 300 protesters and supporters chanted and beat drums outside, the Dalai Lama held hands with Birmingham Mayor William Bell inside the 16th Street Baptist Church and said he was overjoyed to stand at the site where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders in the 1960s launched rallies for freedom for African-Americans.
"Human rights starts from within," the Dalai Lama said. "It does not come from skies. It does grow from earth."
He said: "Martin Luther King was important to the acceptance of civil rights. Now the American people, majority are white, accept the reality."
The Dalai Lama talked about income inequality as a threat to peace.
"Because of the economic situation, there is frustration," he said. "Frustration brings anger. Then anger brings violence.
"There are no billionaires in Tibet. There is no gap."
The 79-year-old Tenzin Gyatso, enthroned in 1950 as the 14th Dalai Lama, responded to questions about his future and said Buddhism would continue without a Dalai Lama. Continued...

Object-oriented (OO) programming is such an important concept in software development today that it's hard imagine a time before it existed. Of course, it had to start sometime somewhere by somebody and, in this case, it was a couple of computer scientists in Norway in the mid-1960s who developed the modern OO-concepts and the first object-oriented programming language. Today, you can now get a look at one of the very first examples of object-oriented code that they wrote.
First, though, some quick history. The first programming language to use object-oriented concepts, as we know them today, is generally accepted to be Simula 67, developed by Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl of the Norwegian Computing Center in 1967. Simula 67 introduced, among other things, the concepts of classes, objects, subclasses and inheritance that OO languages still use today.
Before Simula 67, however, Nygaard and Dahl first wrote an earlier version of the language, called Simula I in 1964. Simula I was created as an extension of Algol 60 for UNIVAC, to be an event simulation language. While Simula I didn't use the terms "object"and "class" or have support for subclasses or inheritance, it did have some OO-like properties. For example, it supported things called processes, which were effectively objects, and activities, which were basically classes. So, in a sense, Simula I can be viewed as the first object-oriented language.
When Simula I was first created, it was applied to a number of different projects, including the arrangement of cranes on a job site, optimizing the production systems for a paper mill and simulating harbors. Recently, a program from one of these first applications has come to light.
Amund Tveit, a Norwegian computer scientist, got a look at a technical report written by Kristen Nygaard in 1965 titled "SIMULA EXAMPLE NR 1: AIRPORT DEPARTURE SYSTEM." The report contains the code for a Simula program to simulate an airport ticket-counter system, as well as the output from simulations run on a UNIVAC 1107 computer. Tveit shot a video of some pages from the report, including the ones containing the program code, which I've embedded at the top of this post.
Tveit calls this code the first object-oriented program written and published. We don't know if this was the very first Simula I program written, but it's clearly one of the first, and it may well be the oldest program using OO-concepts that still exists (you can see examples of activities, progenitors to classes, in the code). In any case, it's clearly a piece of programming history, and should be of interest to developers.
I haven't been able to find the report, or the code, online in text format. So, if you're particularly keen to get your hands on this code, and you have good eyesight and some patience, you could transcribe it from Tveit's video. If you do, be sure to share it with the rest of us!

Having first seen 'The Low Anthem'
live in February 2010, when they played a sublime and acclaimed show
the '02 Academy', Shepherd's Bush, this was one of my most eagerly
awaited gigs in some time. This time the venue was 'The Roundhouse'
a gloriously renovated old rail depot in Chalk Farm. Given the sense
of loss, timelessness and nostalgia contained in many of their own songs,
this seemed an apt choice of location. Indeed at times 'The Low Anthem'
can evoke a deep yearning inside me to scrap modern London life, buy
a 'Pickup' and head out West (and by that I mean Western America,
not towards Wales. I've done that and it was a bleak experience)
The band's most recent album 'Smart
Flesh' was recorded in a typically unconventional manner, their choice
of location being a vacant pasta sauce factory in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
The set list on the night drew heavily from their most recent release,
with almost every track being played. Indeed, the opening song was the
title track 'Smart Flesh' itself, followed by the quaint, sparse
and dare I say haunting 'Ghost Woman Blues'.
After lead singer Ben Knox Miller admitted
that for some time they had been embarrassed about their lesser known
debut record 'What the Crow Brings' the band proceeded to perform
some beautiful numbers from it. This was a rare treat. The sparseness
of "Yellowed by the Sun" and 'diary like' "God Damn House"
surely put to bed any of the band's lingering doubts. During "Sally
Where'd You Get Your Liquor From", another tune from their first
record, we were encouraged to call our friend next to us and hold our
phones in the air, resulting in an overwhelming mix of static and feedback
as the song slowly drifted into the night. The constant changing of
instruments was a feature throughout – there were (amongst others)
guitars, drums, clarinet, pump organ, double bass, glockenspiel, bowed
saw, trumpets, and a few of which I'm ashamed to say I had no recognition.
Unfortunately some of the louder electric
songs were slightly muddled in the mix. The vocals in the brilliant
'Boeing 737' and Jack Kerouac's 'Home I'll Never Be' were
drowned out in the midst of heavy distortion and drum bashing. Admittedly
it must be difficult for any sound engineer to find the perfect mix
for a band like The Low Anthem. While you can often picture them huddled
around a camp fire wistfully singing of old American folklore, you still
get the sense at times they long to crank up the volume and blast out
some stomping Blues in their garage!
One of the genuine highlights of the
night was 'Charlie Darwin', a lonesome, cinematic tune, laden in
melancholy and self reflection. As Knox began singing almost falsetto,
the band gathered around a solitary microphone, allowing their contrasting
but thoughtfully crafted harmonies add another dimension to the sound.
For us in the crowd, this was our moment of true devotion, honestly,
we barely blinked and "Oh my God, it was all around!"
Though it wasn't quite a sell-out, probably
about two thirds filled, the dedication and respect shown by the crowd
was something to admire in itself. Never before have I witnessed such
serene silence throughout a concert. At times the atmosphere inside
The Roundhouse was bordering on the reverential. The only disturbance
came from a die-hard cockney fan who bellowed "What a band, what a
F**KING band" midway through the set. This was greeted to rapturous
applause, with the band humbly questioning "the modest nature of the
British public"
The first set lasted just over an hour
and half. The band signed off with "Love and Alter", when yet again
Knox's startlingly pure falsetto sounded as if it was suspended in
thin air, accompanied only by the barest strum. The encore started with
a bluesy number "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around' a number originally
written by 'Blind Willie McTell'. 'The Low Anthem' have been
covering this tune since they first began touring, which was remarkably a mere 4 years
ago. "To Ohio", their penultimate offering was long overdue. Written
by bass and cello player Jeffrey Prystowsky it encapsulated everything
that makes The Low Anthem special – a refreshingly honest story of
love, loss and redemption, sang and performed with grace and imagination.
But that was not all. Back onto the
stage came both (very impressive) support acts, William Elliot Whitmore
and Simone Felice to accompany The Low Anthem in their finale, a cover
of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire". It ended with Knox holding
the microphone out to the crowd and after some encouragement, (unsurprisingly
since no one dared let out a whisper in the two hours prior) we joined
together in unison "Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight
choir, I have tried in my way to be free".
And that was all. We were left to reflect on Ghost Women, Apothecaries, Boeings, Charles Darwin, Sally's Liquor, Ashes and Urns, Bibles and Boats and a whole lot more. As for me I was wondering where I could get that elusive Pickup truck so I could live out the folklore myself and marvel at the splendour of it all....O well.. maybe next time..

Nursing Excellence
A Message from JoAnn Ioannou
GBMC HealthCare's Senior Vice President of Patient Care and Chief Nursing Officer
It is no secret that healthcare is rapidly changing. Recognizing that continuous improvement is critical to providing the best, safest care to our patients, GBMC HealthCare remains an industry leader in responding to change and implementing advances in patient care with great success.
A major key to the success of our well-respected institution is our exceptional nursing staff. It is an honor and privilege to be part of such an impressive team. At GBMC, we make a strong effort to show our appreciation to nursing, continuously seeking ways to support staff and elevate them to the top of their licensure. We foster a collaborative atmosphere, in which our nurses and physicians serve as resources to one another. However, the collaboration doesn't end there. Our nursing staff has strong relationships with all of our multidisciplinary teams, from social workers and case managers to environmental services and the pharmacy.
We respect all of our nursing staff, both veteran and those just beginning their career journeys. We welcome graduate students and newly graduated nurses into our organization and mentor them as they build their careers here, supporting continuing education and professional development.
These are just a few of countless reasons that I'm proud to say I'm a member of the nursing staff at GBMC. I believe my nursing colleagues would agree and continue to add to this sentiment.

Setting: In San Luis Obispo County, Pismo Beach enjoys a location convenient to numerous other cities, waterfronts, and inland destinations. San Luis Obispo ("SLO") and California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) lie 11 miles northeast. It's a 90-minute drive south to Santa Barbara and roughly three and a half hours to San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Attractions: Ample beach access for waterfront activities defines this place. Winter and summer temperatures average 42 and 81 degrees, respectively. An active newcomers' club and advocacy organizations attest to community spirit. Produce from the inland Central Valley is endlessly fresh and bountiful.
Drawbacks: Real estate prices continue to rise. Shopping for high-end items is limited. Those seeking fine restaurants have some, but not many, choices. Most head to SLO for theater and the arts.
Housing Options: Residents may choose among a fairly wide range of styles and landscapes, from funky beach shack or high-ceiling Mediterranean to condo or ranch style. The Shell Beach neighborhood offers pristine oceanfront properties. In the hills overlooking Pismo Beach and the Pacific, some Arroyo Grande residents enjoy panoramic views. Reasonable home prices in Grover Beach and Oceano make up for their more aesthetically mundane real estate.
What It Costs: Availability of homes here is limited. "A nearly 3,600-square-foot clifftop house recently closed at $4 million," says broker Lenny Jones. "Median home price is $500,000. That will get you a 1,600-square-foot, 30-year-old house, no water view." Expect a median price of $650,000 for a water-view condo.
Your Next-door Neighbors: A Cal Poly professor; a biplane aviator; retired farmers from the Central Valley; Pismo Bob, who owns the hardware store; a schoolteacher who walks his trick-performing, potbellied pig; an actor from the Great American Melodrama & Vaudeville; a high-tech entrepreneur.
How You'd Spend Your Free Time: Sampling lobster-stuffed ravioli at Giuseppe's; surfing the breakers; fishing from the town pier; jogging the six-mile Bob Jones City-to-the-Sea Trail; picnicking at Spyglass Park; mountain biking in Los Padres National Forest; wine tasting over in the Edna Valley.

If my EDC is not on me, it's right in front of me within arms reach. I never loose sight of it, and it goes room to room with me in the house no matter what I'm doing. The only stash I have is what's in the safe. No multiple firearms scattered hither and yon in this abode.
On me when awake. A lot of people take them off when they get home and don't realize that 100% of home invasions happen at home!
I would rather have a shotgun by my bed than a handgun, Nothing like the sound of a round being pumped into a chamber to let the intruder know that his number is up if he does not leave.
Hearing the shotgun being racked didn't work to well for this guy.

Right now my revolver is laying on my desk about 3 inches from the keyboard I'm typing on. I got up about 10 minutes ago, and when I finish my coffee, it will travel to the bathroom, while I shower. After that I'll be dressed with the revolver in a holster, until I head to bed. It will sleep in the safe an arms reach from the bed, with the door to the safe open.
On the rare evening that I put sweats on to lounge around I'll transfer to a smart carry holster, but 90% of the time the gun du jour is on my hip, no matter where I am in the house or out.

So...I shouldn't feel like an overzelous, gun crazed nut if I carry in my own house? Seriously I still do feel a little paranoid crazy. Is it just me?

I have guns stashed all over the house but they're all hidden from view. They are, however, all loaded and are all easily accessible.
I'm still a few weeks away from being able to CC and my MTAC hasnt come in yet, so while I'm home I use the XDGear holster that came with my gun and I'm forced to lock it up when I leave the house. (I know OC is legal here, but I choose to wait until I can CC).

The safest place is on body, for you and the gun. One gun right now beats five or six stashed all over the house. Go ahead and stash spare magazines, but keep the gun on you. At night it sits naked (OK, no holster) right next to the bed with a flashlight.
Everything else is locked in the safe, except a high capacity rifle for outdoor crowd control. In the house, your on body EDC 45 auto can surgically solve any problem. IMO the shotgun takes too long to get to, is too unwieldy in close quarters, it's racking sound is a dead giveaway, it's either too powerful with slugs or unreliable with pellets, its uncontrollable without a stock, and it lacks capacity for outdoor picnics. Sure it's scary and intimidating, but I won't intimidate with a gun, it's generally illegal. OK, gauge guys, fire for effect.

I posted on this thread before, post #4, but I would like to add that I keep a 12 gauge 870 ready to go. I have found of late that my EDC which include a small tactical flashlight is more in line with fast pace emergency response for home defense. Depending on the need and time allowed the shotgun may be the best choice in some cases. Personally hope and pray I never need ether.
Always ready but not fearful.

Bulldog Track & Field Puts Three Into Scoring Position In Heptathlon
Feb. 24, 2012
SEC Indoor Championships - Day One Results
LEXINGTON, Ky. --- Led by senior Cory Holman's second place finish through four events, Georgia's track and field has three heptathletes in the top eight following the opening day of the Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships in Lexington, Ky., on Friday.
Holman posted two career-best efforts to score 3,311 points in the heptathlon as Florida's Gray Horn (3,418) holds the lead. Freshman Garrett Scantling, who ended the first day with two personal-best marks of his own, is in sixth place with 3,102 points as senior Michael Ayers is in seventh (3,080).
"I thought we had a pretty strong first day with some highlights and a couple missed opportunities to go along with those," said Bulldog multi-events coach Petros Kyprianou. "We got off to a strong start with (Holman) winning the 60 and then picking up a (personal best) in the long jump. We were hoping for more in the high jump from him, but I feel confident he can bounce back during the second day. Probably the biggest surprise of the day was Garrett winning the high jump with the best jump of his life. He will do nothing but improve as he gets more experience. Ayers has the most experience out of all these guys so I know he will respond with some positive performances in the final three events."
The Huber Heights, Ohio, native took an early 18-point lead over Horn after winning the 60. Holman clocked a 6.91, which is a hundredth of a second slower than his season best.
Holman recorded a personal-best effort of 24 feet, 7 ¼ inches on his final attempt in the long jump to finish second in the event. His mark, which ranks seventh in school history, tied him with Horn in the event through two jumps before Horn traveled a winning 24-10 on his third jump. Holman held a 1-point lead over Horn going into the third event of the day.
In the shot put, Holman launched a personal-best effort (40-7.75), but was ninth in the competition. After setting the SEC Championships record in the heptathlon high jump in 2010 with a mark of 7-1.75, he wrapped up the first day with a clearance of 6-8 for fourth place in the event.
Holman topped the school record in the heptathlon earlier this season (5,809) and was only five points ahead of his current pace during that meet.
Winning the 2009 heptathlon title and finishing third last season, Ayers is in seventh place after the first four events. He finished fourth in the second heat of the 60 and fourth overall after crossing the finish line in 7.11, equaling his third-best time in the event while at Georgia.
Ayers returned in the long jump and registered a mark of 23-2.75 to take fifth. The Nashville, Tenn., native completed the competition by taking fifth in the shot put (41-11.50) and seventh in the high jump (6-4.25).
In only the second heptathlon of his life, Scantling surged into sixth place overall after winning the high jump with a personal-best effort. After clearing his first six attempts on the first try, Scantling went over the bar at 6-10.25 on his second attempt to out-jump the competition by at least 1 ¼ inches.
The Jacksonville, Fla., native opened with a sixth-place finish in the 60 (7.17) before answering two opening fouls in the long jump with an effort of 22-0.25 for eighth place. Scantling had the exact same first day score at the Razorback Invitational before scoring a final tally of 5,380 points, which is No. 4 on the UGA all-time top-10 list.
The Bulldogs kick off action on Saturday with the men's weight throw and the men's high jump at 11 a.m. The final three events of the heptathlon are scheduled to start at 2:50 p.m. with the 60 hurdles.

Connecting with people at a big church can be challenging. Our Connect Group is a quick and easy way to take the first step and get plugged in. Learn more about the ministries of our church, get to know our leaders, and meet other people in the process. The group runs for six weeks, beginning February 27th from 11am - 12:15pm in Reber Chapel.
The Journey is made up of hundreds of small communities spread out across the Midwest, focused on living life together while serving Jesus and their neighborhoods. Community in the Bible takes a lot of forms, but here are a few themes:
We believe that as Christians, God has called us to love our neighbor, whoever they are, whatever they believe, and whatever they need. Our Community Groups and their members serve our region together, meeting needs as they arise and striving to make their neighborhoods a better place.
The Bible speaks of the church as a family, as people whose lives have intertwined with each other because of Jesus. Families take care of each other when they need help, which is what the first Christians in the early church exemplified. Our community groups strive to model the same sacrificial love, helping each other in all the ways a family would when needs arise.
The goal of our communities is much more than having coffee and a good time (though that's often included). We want to be more like Jesus, and learning how to do that is at the heart of our time together. Our groups are devoted to sharpening one another, to exploring together, and to helping each other live more like Jesus every day.

Rewiring setup question.
I am going to be doing some adding of wires into rooms of a house. What wires do you usually run? I will be running cat5e, phone-cat5e, cable-coax to some,hdmi to some, component to some. What else would you add? Am I missing anything for the future?
Some electrical lines?
Oh yes that for sure but was meaning low or no voltage wires at this time. Thanks for the response.
Draw a diagram of the room and mark of the proposed placement of the components. Figure out what needs to be run, from where, to where. If you are running the wires to a central location, add some flexible conduit for future additions/changes. Also if you are separating the audio/video components from the tv, run a conduit between those also.
take a look at the tutorial section at hometech.com. They have some good stuff on structured wiring. Luckily (or not, depending on your point of view) their shop happens to be in my town. I've spent more time / $$ there than my wife thinks I should, but oh well. I recently "finished" a house remodel where we had the whole place down to the studs. I put in a central headend panel and spoked everything from there. My "standard" bundle to each room was 2x cat5e + 2x RG6 Quad shield. Besides the standard bundle I ran additional Cat5e and coax for additional sound system and computer requirements. I also ran a generous ammount of smurf tube and larger conduit in the walls for easier future pulls.....especially at locations where flat screens hang on the walls. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with all the wires, but it sure was cool on SuperBowl Sunday to be able to move some TV's around and hook up them up in a variety of locations.....

Description: We are still surprised by evil. From Auschwitz to the events of September 11, we have been shocked into recognizing the startling capacity for evil within the human heart. We now know 9/11 revealed that our country was unprepared in terms of national security, but it also showed we were intellectually and morally unprepared to deal with such a barbaric act. Our language to describe evil and our ethical will to resist it have grown uncertain and confused. Many who speak unabashedly of evil are dismissed as simplistic, oldfashioned, and out of tune with the realities of modern life. Yet we must have some kind of language to help us understand the pain and suffering at the heart of human experience. Author and speaker Os Guinness confronts our inability to understand evil let alone respond to it effectively by providing both a lexicon and a strategy for finding a way forward. Since 9/11, much public discussion has centered on the destructiveness of extremist religion. Guinness provocatively argues that this is far from an accurate picture and too easy an explanation. In this expansive exploration of both the causes of modern evil and solutions for the future, he faces our tragic recent past and our disturbing present with courageous honesty. In order to live an "examined life," Guinness writes, we must come to terms with our beliefs regarding evil and ultimately join the fight against it. Addressing individuals as well as a traumatized culture, Unspeakable is an invitation to explore the challenge of contemporary evil, a call to confront our culture of fear, and a journey to find words to come to terms with the unspeakable so that it will no longer leave us mute.

TORONTO, June 16 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index advanced to its highest in almost six years on Monday as positive investor sentiment helped support gains in the financial and energy sectors.
