Our family has had a home and vacationed on this street in Wildwood Crest since the late 1960's. It is a lovely residential family oriented community with lots of quiet and privacy but close to everything.
Mary and Rich Brautigam purchased this condo in 1990
This property is unique because it offers not only great accomodations in each unit but affords fantastic expansive outdoor space for relaxing with beautitiful butterfly garden with pond and lots of birds and butterflies all summer long.
It is not often you can find a beach rental where you can walk to one of the best beaches on the east coast and also feel like you have all the space and the comforts of home and a large beautiful yard to sit out and enjoy as well. Complete with BBQs, hammock and patio furniture.
We had a great time, we were convenient to the beach. The unit was very comfortable. You keep the place so clean. The yard is grest, the flowers are beautiful and we love the new pond. There were birds in the yard all the time. We'll be back.
We rented 2 units in August of 2015. My 18 year old daughter and her friend, my 5 year old son, husband and dog were in unit 2 and my parents with their dog stayed in unit 1. We had a wonderful vacation. Both units were clean and well stocked. We had our lunches and dinners in the backyard. I was able to throw the wash in while we go to the boardwalk. We love the Wildwood Crest area and vacationed their many times before. This was the first time we brought our dogs with us and everyone had a great time. Mary was there to welcome us in and answer any questions we had. We are certainly looking forward to coming back next year. Thank you.
Three families shared all three condos. They were clean and comfortable. The yard was a nice place to relax, plenty of room for outdoor games. The beach is only three blocks away (short walk). Cape May is a short drive where there are many unique stores. The young adults enjoyed the local brewery. The BayView Inn is at the end of the street. It's a great restaurant with a beautiful view. The owners were very friendly and accommodating to any need. We enjoyed our time and will return.
Our family had a great experience again this year. The apartments are spacious and well kept. The kids had plenty of room to play and we all especially enjoyed the vaious boardgames that the owners keep in the apartment for guests. The yard is relaxing and safe for kids of all ages to play in. the neighbors (both renters and those next door) have been friendly and curtious of each other.
The kids review: 'We loved everything about the living room, especially the front window' (they like watching the butterflys and birds).
My kids are begging to return already. :) Definatly a great place to stay if you have children or just enjoy being comfortable.
This unit had everything that was advertised and more! The owners paid attention to detail. The kitchen was well stocked and we just had everything we needed from BBQ supplies, outdoor tablecloths, dish soap, laundry soap etc. We are so happy we found a nice clean place where we can have our dog with us. The neighborhood is pretty and quiet - great place to walk the dog and great deli/coffee shop and restaurant in walking distance. The owner was quick to respond and available to answer any questions I had and she went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. We look forward to staying here again!
My High School Reunion group spent a long weekend here and was impressed by this lovely rental in Wildwood Crest. It was my first time in the area and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the beach - not unlike Miami Beach. The house, yard, and neighborhood was squeaky clean and manicured. I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities, such as the dishwasher, and the fully stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed to prepare wonderful meals and BBQ's. Everything was so easy and I highly recommend this place!
We had a great & relaxing vacation at your wonderful condos. Took a nap in the hamock, watched the birds take a bath in the mini pond while enjoying coffee and the paper in the yard. Walked to the beach in the afternoon and then to The Bayview Inn where we enjoyed happy hour on the deck looking out on Sunset Lake. An excellent location & set-up. The condo was very clean and in great shape. Everything worked perfectly. It was very nice to have a wide screen TV with a full movie package & wifi. Also really happy that there was a gas grill and washers & dryers. I made for easy summer meals and was nice to not have to return from vacation with bags of dirty clothes. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone and look forward to a return visit. There were any number of attractions/ restaurants that we would like to explore on future visits. Perhaps next time we will talk friends or family to coming with us so that we can take more than one apartment - it would be a great set-up for a mini reunion..
Dolphin watching, Boardwalk amusements, Water parks, Cape May Zoo, Victorian Cape May, lighthouses and nature center all close by.

I have to wonder what is wrong with some people i really do, and ofc some pets are better than others, they are way harder to breed and thus cost more, its like you ve never played an rpg before.
I mentioned the bug involving using higher slot pets to allow lower slot ones to carry more earlier in this thread btw, fairly sure the devs are aware of it

I'll rephrase, libqsearch, according to my understanding, is not able to do optimized scanning over borders, i.e. it uses the same naive approach as your proposal. This isn't necessarly a weakness, it heavly depends on the length of the pattern and the amount of fragments. One of the major differences between libqsearch and the textsearch I propose is that libqsearch implements "jokers", a subset of what ts_regexp.c does. This heavly complicates their reference implementation of bm. Again, this isn't necessarly a weakness, since the framework doesn't require the algorithm to actually implement these. I cannot really tell which of the proposals we have right now is the best/fastest/cleanest/fanciest/whatever. For that reason I decided to transfer as much responsibility as possibly away from the core into the actual algorithms, respectively made it configureable via callback functions. It is still possible to write a ts_(kmp|bm)_state.c which saves the state of the scanning progress but other than in libqsearch this is not a requirement. > For small pattern and long packets, such pattern searching on the > fragment borders doesn't really hurt the performance.

Absolultely, I implemented KMP because it doesn't require random access to the text and thus serves well as a reference implementation. I'll be glad to see your BM ported. > I'm not familiar with those problems jamal has mentioned though, could > they really affect the string matching infrastructure in some way? I > truly prefer avoiding linearizing skb's. I think we have to differ between non-linear skbs which we should have without linearization and the scanning through real fragments. In order to make some progress we have to answer these questions: * Do we want to be able to search on non-linear data in general? I say: yes * Do we want to be able to search on non-linear data which is not completely available and/or present at the time the search starts? In other words, do we want a search to be interruptable to continue later on. e.g. search over multiple skbs without queueing them up. I say: no * Do we want to provide random access to the text to be searched? If so, optionally or as a requirement? This merely has impact on a) BM could be efficiently implemented w/o naive scanning around the borders and b) requires the text segments to be completely maped/prepare at the risk they'll never be used. [0] I say: probably no [0] This impact can be limited by having the user specify strict searching area limits.

Medical Schools Can Solve Canada's Rural Doctor Shortage

TORONTO - Timely medical care is all too rare for many Canadians.
Fewer than half can get a same-day or next-day appointment with their family doctor, according to a recent report from the Canadian Institute of Health Information. Fifty-six percent of Canadians have to wait more than a month to see a specialist.
These statistics are a bracing reminder of the nation's growing shortage of physicians, especially primary care doctors. More than 4.5 million Canadians lack a regular doctor. That's nearly 15 percent of the population over the age of 12.
Canada's leaders must act to reverse these shortages. Doing so will require an aggressive effort by medical schools and governments to encourage more young people to consider careers in family medicine -- careers that have an outsized impact on the health of Canadians.
Canada is short primary care doctors in part because graduates of Canadian medical schools are growing more reluctant to pursue careers in family medicine. Just one-third of Canadian medical graduates go into primary care.
These shortages take a toll on Canadians' health. Patients with no regular doctor are less likely to get annual exams or other preventive care. And the evidence shows that there's a strong correlation between a population with access to effective primary care providers and positive health outcomes.
The primary care shortage has hit Canada's rural communities hardest. One hospital in Preeceville in rural Saskatchewan, which serves 60,000 locals, recently began suspending emergency room services on a regular basis.
On Prince Edward Island, 4,000 patients are without a primary care doctor. According to the Nova Scotia Health Authority, over 25,000 residents are currently waiting to see a family doctor throughout the province -- up from only 6,000 last fall. More than 200,000 residents of British Columbia have no family doctor.
Last summer, the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the College of Family Physicians of Canada recommended a dramatic increase in the number of emergency room residency slots. They say that the current shortfall of nearly 500 ER doctors could triple by 2025.
Since 2004, medical schools have been opening campuses all across the country. These are meant to encourage students from rural communities to enroll in medical school -- and hopefully return to practice in smaller communities.
Despite all these changes, millions of Canadians still cannot find a family doctor. Perhaps it's time to look outside our borders.
Institutions outside Canada can make a difference, just as they have in the United States. One-quarter of our southern neighbor's doctors are graduates of international medical schools. And among doctors practicing in the United States, half of those educated at med schools in the Caribbean are working in primary care.
St. George's University, a school on the Caribbean island of Grenada for which I serve as a consultant, has trained more than 1,200 Canadian doctors. Two-thirds of those grads are in primary care -- twice the share of graduates of Canadian medical schools.
Over 600 of our current students hail from Canada. Many are eager to train and practice in their own communities. That's why St. George's has partnered with the University of Saskatchewan Hospital and the Vancouver General Hospital -- to arrange clinical rotations for these doctors-in-training.
It's time to end Canada's doctor shortage. Provincial governments could fund more training positions for family medicine. Medical schools inside and outside Canada have a role to play, too -- by graduating and training more family physicians, and steering them to the underserved communities that need them most.

Khadr gets $10 million, Italian-Canadians still ignored

Omar Khadr
Khadr gets $10 million, Italian-Canadians still ignored
Article written by: Adelina Pecchia
MARATHON - In the last few years many cultural groups have fought to reclaim their rights and have asked the government to apologize and acknowledge wrongdoing and injustices done to Canadians.
This simmering anger has boiled to the surface over the recent $10.5 million awarded to Omar Khadr who sued the Canadian government claiming his rights as a Canadian were violated when he was imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay at age 16 and held for 10 years.
This award is an act of travesty when so many other Canadians have been violated and are awaiting justice, including my ancestors. Their rights were violated when the Italian-Canadian internment began on June 10, 1940.
Thousands of Italian Canadians were labelled "enemy aliens." Subject to discrimination, imprisonment, silenced and not allowed to speak the language, Italians were not allowed to gather in groups larger than five people!
Italian seafarers, not part of any war effort, in Canadian waters at the time were also interned. Italy, according to my many uncles and relatives who were conscripted to fight - unwillingly - entered into the Second World War.
Canadian Italians 16 years and older and Canadians who became British subjects after 1929 were forced to register with the RCMP and report monthly.
Lists were drawn and police were allowed to accuse Italians of being members of fascist groups, though most did not have political ties. Those with political ties were accused of engaging in illegal activities.
Land owned by Italians was considered Enemy Alien Property and sold to the RCMP.
Italian consul staff were expelled from Canada. Canadian-born sons of Italians were fighting overseas with their homeland army while their relatives were subject to imprisonment, internment and confiscation of land and rights.
In order to survive, activities by Canadian Italians took place in the name of anti-fascism to appease suspicions. Others "turned in" their own country people for payment and promises of freedom.
Mussolini may have put in place an anti-Semitic policy but need I remind Canada that our Canadian government turned away the St. Louis carrying almost 1,000 Jewish refugees when it was days away from Halifax. Where is the apology by the Canadian government on this travesty?
Granted, Canada opened its doors and many of us came to this country via Pier 21 in Halifax after the war. For this we are grateful but this does not bring restitution to that which was done in the name of war efforts.
The international community has hunted down Nazi war criminals. Why haven't we turned the books on those who have hunted down Italians and profited from selling their lands?
Canadian Italians have not received recompense or restitution for the losses and tragedies they encountered from internment and a formal apology has never been given by the Canadian government.
This hysterical turn of events in Canada is rarely talked about. Why? Because we are Italian.
When I was a child I experienced discrimination and hostility because of my name and heritage in Fort William even decades after the war. Nazi sympathizers were also hostile to Italians. One of my school teachers divided her class by eye colour and skin colour. Questioning her beliefs got me into her bad books.
In 1990 prime minister Brian Mulroney offered an apology to Italians but an official apology from the House of Commons has never been given. In 2008 the Conservatives set aside $5 million to deal with "the Italian question" but still no apology.
Canada Post went so far as to reject a stamp commemorating the internment of Italian Canadians and minister of citizenship and immigration Jason Kenney rejected a heritage bill in 2009.
The only memoir recognizing the internment of Italians in Canada is an exhibition of polished steel statutes in Toronto funded by our own processes. Perhaps this signifies our steely perseverance and shining resilience but we still await a formal apology and restitution to the injustices done.
Meanwhile, the government once again has been selective on whom to apologize to and where to hand out hard earned tax money, including from thousands of hard working Italians who have remained in this country, in spite of the past.
All of us were created to offer real and adequate protection for families and persons, preserve identity, to defend property and land, prevent exclusion, welcome the excluded and the poor, and thus to reveal the face of the Creator for and with all peoples.
Let's start by asking our leaders to apologize for past and present oppressions and then move forward with where restitution is due. This means not by recompensing one Canadian and ignoring the other.

Il ministro Laura Albanese
Vaughan – 200 employers and some of their unionized employees packed a hall at Carpenters Local 27 to hear how Provincial Minister for Immigration, Laura Albanese, proposed to resolve the Construction Industry's labour shortage in Ontario.
They also wanted to learn how Ontario's recent announcements on its Immigration Plan would overcome the Federal Government's insensitive and cloistered approach to the needs of Ontario's human resources needs.
Minister Albanese came to announce that Ontario's Provincial Nominee Program (OINP) had been increased to accommodate 6,000 applicants. 500 of those positions had been reserved for Agricultural and Skilled/Semi-skilled Workers in the Construction industry.
These [are] to be filled via a pilot program under the Employer Job Offer Stream (EJOS) – a worthwhile effort. A further 2,500 are available under an "expedited" Express Entry stream that has do date been of little practice use to the Construction Industry and others.
The audience was patient and polite as two Provincial officials, Ministerial staff and Union officials elaborated how the program would work and how they proposed to help applicants achieve success. It helped that MP Francesco Sorbara was also in attendance to listen and to express support.
The presentation is best described as a delicate balance between deference and defiance. Employers could only hold back for so long. They viewed the announcement as "very little and very tentative". The composure and "courage" exhibited by the bureaucrats earned the respect of the audience, but, in the end they were talking about how "their process would be more efficient", while those present wanted to address the two big elephants in the room: recruitment of available labour and the "regularization" of the ones they had.
The federal government's insistence on the strict language requirements are a huge stumbling block for potential immigrants from Mediterranean Europe and the southern half of the Western Hemisphere – two areas that provide the traditional skilled labour for the industry. Nothing in the Provincial plan changes that.
Speaker after speaker stressed that they had trouble keeping the workers they had (at competitive rates as dictated by collective agreements) because these had to stay one step ahead of Immigration Enforcement agents to stay in the country and on the job.
While appreciative of the streamlined process, Dan Montesano of Lido Construction asked from where he would recruit new applicants. "We have had to ask formerly retired staff to come back to work; 8 of our staff are between the age of 70 and 73. But Service Canada says there are unemployed Carpenters and construction workers in Canada. They can't find them for my company".
"Exactly", responded another, "What do we do with the [thousands] of illegals/undocumented among our employees? Everyone knows they exist; the industry would collapse without them".
"This system is set up to fail", expressed another, "we cannot afford to place our staff at risk of removal by coming forward as applicants". Even when employers try to help their workers here on legitimate Work Visas, Service Canada manages to jeopardize a healthy working relationship that allows employers to bid on contracts. In one case, an employer who submitted 15 applications for renewal was told he would only get 10 and he should make do with 5 less – in mid-contract.
"Ottawa just doesn't know how to deal with the thousands of 'Ghost Workers' who have become the backbone of Ontario's economy – in construction, restaurant or trucking industry", chimed in yet another employer. "Let us go out and recruit our own" pleaded yet another.
This was a friendly crowd. The Union local has been, and is, supportive of all Provincial and Federal initiatives to find [incremental but] long-term solutions to the labour stresses in Ontario's construction sector.
Tony Iannuzzi, Ontario President of the Carpenter's Union said, "we need governments to hear and listen – our employers could hire and place 20, 000 new workers tomorrow – but no one is paying attention".
Maybe they will after this meeting. The two Immigration Officials both said they learned a lot. Ferd Longo, Minister Albanese's Chief of Staff, promised that the Ontario Cabinet is fully behind the Minister's initiative and that she has a mandate to push Ottawa hard to make it more sensitive to Ontario's needs.
Maybe their federal cousins will understand the political importance of listening. Former Ministers Alexander and Kenney didn't and look at what happened to them, mused a participant on the way out.
Casa Italia: seeking to clarify a plan, a vision a direction

TORONTO - The evening turned up more than what the organizers of the "town hall' meeting about the Casa Italia might have had in mind. Consul General Giuseppe Pastorelli, flanked by Canadian Business and Professional Association (CIBPA) president, Ed Buriello, Ret. Justice Frank Iacobucci, and Sam Ciccolini met with a few representatives from the Italian community at the Western Point Club, Tuesday, July 11, to seek input in "potential plans" for the current home of the Italian Consulate in Toronto.
Nineteen other people were also in attendance. There was no definitive "plan" or "project" offered for discussion or consideration. One point of affirmation expressed without any equivocation was that the State of Italy seems to be the singular owner on title for 183 Beverly St.
Consul General Pastorelli outlined 3 principles guiding the deliberations of the Advisory Committee of "leaders in the community" selected for the purposes of providing guidance through the consultation and development process. These include the above and Pal Di Iulio, Con Di Nino and Julie Di Lorenzo.
Briefly those principles are as follows: (1) preserve the historical value of Chudleigh House, (2) give honour to maintain alive the "vision" of the three men who "re-acquired" the property from the Canadian government in 1955, (3) contemplate ways in which to bring enduring benefit [to the community].
The presentation and the responses appeared intended to convince the audience that NOTHING had been decided and that what everyone had before them was a tabula rasa onto which they could inscribe their own vision.
They were not entirely successful in their efforts.
Frank Misuraca deplored the sparsity of the crowd and the lack of documentation attesting to the Government's right to sell the property to the CIBPA. A lady identifying herself as Renata asked for the Consulate's plan to which the public might respond. Giuseppe Cafiso asked what was the plan that the CIBPA hoped the public might amplify.
He made several suggestions as to what might be of "benefit" to the Community. Mr. Buriello admitted to not knowing "what benefit is". Daniela Di Marco wanted to know how any development would be financed and if there were any private investors interested in developing the site as part of their philanthropic activities.
This was echoes by Fulvio Florio. Both Ed Buriello and Sam Ciccolini affirmed that there we none. Dan Montesano queried about where the profits from the sale of improvements to the asset would go. Again, the latter two individuals indicated that they had either not thought of it or had not yet gone that far in the process. In other words, they didn't know.
It was not that reassuring. Renata (?) again said that the public did not want that the same thing happen to Casa Italia that was happening at Columbus Centre: "in the end we have nothing". Pal Di Iulio, who used to be the CEO at the Columbus Centre, pointed out that any plans to develop a vision required the "right financial model" to pay for everything.
The market demands that you develop the land according to the highest and best use. A point reinforced by Sam Ciccolini who closed with the supporting observation that one needs to look for avenues that maximize the value of the asset.
There is another meeting scheduled for September, before a decision is made.

Omar Khadr: Blood lust up against the rule of law
Odoardo Di Santo
TORONTO - Last Friday, the Government of Canada offered up its official apologies to Omar Khadr for the conduct of Canadian Security agencies in his regard as he suffered abuses at the hands of American military, and others, while detained, as a minor, in an American detention camp at Guantanamo in Cuba.
The Government agreed to pay out $10.5 million in compensation, thus ending the on-going legal proceedings in the Courts. Khadr had asked for $20 million in damages. The payout set off a firestorm of reactions that reveals the soft underbelly of our Canadian psyche that should give us all cause for reflection and concern.
The Canadian government has only now admitted that it had no choice. Canadian Courts had repeatedly decided against the Government's obdurate and obstinate contrary position in respect of Khadr's legal standing.
In 2007, the Federal Court ruled that the Government of Canada was in violation of International Law (to which it is a signatory). In May of 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that the Government had violated Khadr's rights under Article 7 of the Charter. In April of 2009, the Federal Court determine that his rights had been violated [thanks in part to the negligence of the government].
Finally, in January of 2010, the Supreme Court issued a more complete clarification indicating that Canadian Secret Service Agents (CSIS) had been in violation of the most fundamental principles governing procedures of interrogation guiding questioning of minors; pointing accusatory fingers at those agents for active participation in abusive interrogation techniques (torture) committed against the internees of the (American) military prison in Guantanamo.
Ralph Goodale, Minister for Public Security, clarified that the Supreme Court had ruled beyond doubt that the conduct of Canadian officials was wrong.
Even the Minister of Justice, Wilson-Raybould, admitted that the Charter Rights of a Canadian citizen had been [wilfully] violated, therefore he was due compensation.
An important consideration entered into the mix was the fact that Khadr was deprived of sleep for three weeks and compelled to switch from cell to cell every three hours in order to induce more malleable responses.
The ensuing public debate has revolved around two "life issues". For those on the "Right" of the socio-political spectrum the Law must protect "the Good" and punish "the Evil".
It's a point of view that is unfortunately, perhaps, compromised by the actions of no less an authority figure than the President of the USA. Donald Trump "suggested" to the then head of the FBI, James Comey, that he should go easy on his investigation of Michael Flynn in the infamous Russiagate, because the latter was a "good man".
The other point of view maintains that the Law defines rights and duties for all citizens, and that all citizens be treated equally. In Canada, this latter, fundamental, principle is embedded in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The "solution" to the Khadr affair has unleashed a torrent of visceral reactions for its $10.5 million figure, but, nothing for the issue of unalienable citizen rights and obligations.
The [Conservative] Leader of the Official Opposition, Andrew Sheer, in a contorted response maintains that it is wrong to compensate a convicted terrorist; that it is an offense to an entire country [Canada] against whose principles Khadr was fighting.
Same sentiments express by his colleague and former Cabinet Minister Tony Clement whose financial largesse with public funds on the occasion of an event marking the G20 in his riding has now achieved epic notoriety.
Not even the former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, who authorized the spending of millions of dollars in legal fees to contest Khadr in Court, could resist wading in with a contrary view.
In 2002, in the company of his father, Omar was a part of a firefight in Afghanistan that saw the death of several "insurgents", including the senior Khadr.
Omar was captured and shortly after was transferred to Guantanamo as the youngest ever detainee, charged with having launched the grenade that killed the American sergeant Christopher Scher.
Omar was the youngest prisoner, since World War II, ever charged with having committed War Crimes as a minor. The action was condemned by the United Nations. And by organizations advocating Human Rights everywhere.
Under arguably onerous, even indescribably cruel, circumstances, he agreed to a confession that would allow him to serve out his sentence in Canada.
He was then released in 2015, even as his Appeal of his conviction was under consideration, and, as the Alberta Court of Appeal rejected a manoeuvre by the Government of Stephen Harper to prevent his release.
Many Canadians think its time to recognize that Khadr has paid sufficiently, suffered unjustly and is continuing to meet obstacles to his re-integration. Perhaps it's time Canadians showed a little of the compassion for which they are noted.

Dr. Valerie Tarasuk, author of Household Food Insecurity in Canada, says the working poor in P.E.I. need "a living wage'' to end the constant struggle they face to put enough food on their plates.
The majority of people going hungry in P.E.I. are working for a living, albeit a meager one.
Dr. Valerie Tarasuk, the author of Household Insecurity in Canada, says her report found 15.4 per cent of households in Prince Edward Island suffer from some sort of food insecurity, compared to the national average of 12.3 per cent.
The vast majority of that group — roughly 84 per cent — is the province's working poor, well above the national average of 61 per cent in this category.
"Many households working at low wages manage because they have more than one earner in the family,'' says Tarasuk, who spoke in Charlottetown this week on the issue of food insecurity.
"It's devastating for a family if they have only one earner and that earner is forced to earn something akin to minimum wage.''
There are many here that fit that bill. In 2011, over half (53 per cent) of lone parent, female-led families were food insecure in P.E.I.
"That's substantially higher than we see across the country,'' says Tarasuk.
Tarasuk, a professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences and the Dalla Lama School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, describes food insecurity as inadequate or insecure access to food because of financial constraints. She notes an abundance of research suggests when families are really feeling the pinch, adults will often deprive themselves of food as a way to spare their children.
"We see it repeatedly in the national survey data that adults are more likely to bear the brunt of the nutritional compromise,'' she says.
Still, many children in P.E.I. live in homes with shelves and refrigerators containing at best modest food supplies.
In 2011, more than one out of every four children under 18 was living in food-insecure households in this province leaving P.E.I. with the second worst rate of food insecurity among families with children in the country.
While Tarasuk calls school breakfast programs, food banks and soup kitchens "important initiatives,'' she is quick to point out they fall well short of fixing the problem of so many Islanders eating an inadequate quantity and quality of food.
"On the outside looking in, you get the impression that if someone goes hungry they can go to a food bank,'' she says.
"Well, actually, the vast majority of them will never set foot in a food bank and other research that we and others have done would say that even if they do they're quite likely to still go hungry.''
Tarasuk says the working poor simply need better pay.
"Wages need to be a living wage for sure,'' she says.
"Raising minimum wage by a dollar or two an hour...that's not going to fix this problem because this problem is bigger than a dollar or two. Prince Edward Island needs to start somewhere to tackle this problem of working poor.''
She adds P.E.I. and other provinces need to reconcile the social assistance programs. She holds up as a model worth following Newfoundland's dramatic drop in food insecurity levels resulting in part to interventions on social assistance.
"They index benefits to inflation which is absolutely critical,'' says Tarasuk.
"Food prices are rising. Shelter costs are rising. And to have benefits of any sort, whether it is a tax credit or a social assistance payment that is sitting flat line, is just a recipe for a food insecurity.''
Here are some findings of a study on household food insecurity in P.E.I.
— 15,900 adults and 8,500 children under the age of 18 in P.E.I. were living in food insecure households in 2011
— Unlike the rest of Canada, food insecurity in P.E.I. is not primarily an urban phenomenon. The situation is no worse and no better in rural versus more urban areas.
— Adults in food insecure households have poorer physical and mental health and higher rates of numerous chronic conditions, including depression, diabetes, and heart disease.
— Being a senior in P.E.I. is highly protective. Households reliant on old-age pensions and retirement investments have one-third the chance of food security of households reliant on employment incomes. The guaranteed annual incomes, drug benefits, and other kinds of assistance available to seniors in P.E.I. appear to be protecting most from food insecurity.

CHRIS who? South Sydney recruit Matt King says the narrow loss to Warrington at Redfern Oval on Saturday has given the Rabbitohs confidence that there is plenty of life in the club following the departure of halfback Chris Sandow.
Sandow's off-the-cuff brilliance saw him become one of the NRL's most exciting players last year but his erratic approach failed to help Souths into the finals.
This season however, with rookie half Adam Reynolds in the driver's seat, King said the side would take a more structured approach to their football in an effort to return to the top-eight for the first time since 2007.
''Everyone outside of the club is really worried about our halfback situation but I think we're in a really good spot - especially after that game on Saturday and how well Adam and Ryan Carr played in their first game,'' said King, who played his first game on Australian soil since leaving Melbourne five years ago to join Warrington.
''I think Souths are going to play a lot more structured football this year that I think is going to help those guys. There's not going to be so much off-the-cuff stuff that we know Chris Sandow was so good at.
''And I don't think there will be a great deal of pressure placed on the halves from the boys within the playing group and with a lot of experience around them, and by keeping their heads out of the papers, they should really get a chance to show what they can do.''
King said public pressure on Reynolds - who impressed as Souths came back from a 24-0 deficit before losing 34-28 - was unwarranted. Fans and critics needed only to look to the likes of Kieran Foran, Trent Hodkinson, Daly Cherry-Evans and Sandow to see that rookies aren't always risks, he said.
''I don't think they're under pressure from the team so much as they're under pressure by all the talk in the media that there's such a big hole to fill with Chris Sandow not around,'' King said.
''But you only have to look at Manly the last few years and Chris Sandow a few years back to see what young halves are capable of.
''Against Warrington, we had a really young team and you have to remember we were missing a lot of the experienced guys like Greg Inglis, but the boys really dug in. We only lost by one try.
''So if at any stage I have to pull on the jumper next to one of those guys I played with on Saturday, I wouldn't be worried one little bit. They really stood up and I took a lot of pride in their performance and playing alongside them.''
With the likes of playmakers John Sutton, Inglis and Issac Luke in the immediate vicinity of Reynolds on the field and further experience in Michael Crocker, Nathan Merritt, Roy Asotasi, Dave Taylor and Sam Burgess in the starting side, King has no doubt that Souths can be serious premiership threats with a new structured approach.
''Both the players have the tools to help them succeed with a great coach and some seriously experienced guys around them,'' King said.
''Everyone is a lot more worried than we are. I really think we can do something this year. We've just got to get used to the way 'Madge' [coach Michael Maguire] wants us to play and get used to the style that we're trying to put together and that comes with time. I think we've got a team here that can be really successful.''

According to reports, with the availability of conventional power turning scarce owing to poor generation, the South Central Railway plans to utilise solar energy on a large scale.
The Vijayawada Division proposes to install solar energy plants at 17 locations to save conventional power.
The Railway authorities plan to fix solar panels on top of the retiring rooms, crew rest rooms, air-conditioned dormitories and in the running rooms at Ongole, Nellore, Gudur, Rajahmundry, Visakhapatnam, Narsapuram and Vijayawada.
Solar energy plants were commissioned at some rest houses and retiring rooms in the past. The Railways will set up solar water heaters with 48,500 Litres Per Day (LPD) capacity by 2012-13, and save 9,33,122 units per annum, at 12-hours per day working schedule.
Speaking to The Hindu , Divisional Railway Manager Pradeep Kumar said that the SCR had installed solar heaters at some drivers and TTEs' rest rooms during 2011-12 and saved 4.13 lakh units of power.
"During 2012-13, the Railways has proposed to set up solar water heaters with 500 Litres Per Day (LPD) in rest rooms, and 1,500 LPD in six new running rooms. The amount to be spent is about Rs.62 lakh on the project and the works are in different stages", said the DRM.
Senior Deputy Electrical Engineer (Maintenance) K. Nagendra Prasad said that the SCR had fixed solar energy panels on some street lights at the staff quarters in Satyanarayanapuram.
The officials were planning to arrange solar panels for more number of street lights, to conserve energy.
"The SCR is also doing solar electrification with Solar Light Pipes in the divisional office, in Vijayawada. In this process, sun tubes will be used for lighting, which emits less heat and gives high quality lighting", the DEE said.

Met Music Director James Levine conducts one of the most thrilling performances of the decade.

Giuseppe Verdi's Otello
Often cited as Italian opera's greatest tragedy, Otello (1887) is a miraculous union of music and drama, a masterpiece as profound philosophically as it is thrilling theatrically. Shakespeare's tale of an outsider, a great hero who can't control his jealousy, was carefully molded by the librettist Arrigo Boito into a taut and powerful opera text. Otello almost wasn't written: following the success of Aida and his setting of the Requiem mass in the early 1870s, Verdi considered himself retired, and it took Boito and publisher Giulio Ricordi several years to persuade him to take on a major new work.

I am 55 and am considering having a fractional skin resurfacing (Matrix RF), but I hear different things about how long results will last. Any ideas? Thanks.
How Long Do Fractional Laser Resurfacing Results Last?
Doctor Answers 2
Fractional resurfacing
Brown spots may come back quickly without sun protection. Fine lines may return as well, but overall textural improvement is noted to remain for many years. The new collagen that forms in the dermis as a response to fractional resurfacing is thought to be long lasting.
Learn more: http://www.thenyac.com
Fractional Laser resurfacing has minimal results
The fractionated lasers don't treat all of the skin, and therefore can provide only minimal wrinkle improvement or tightening. I have seen many, many patients go through an entire series and see only modest improvements in pigmentation that could have been achieved with an easier less expensive laser. Unfortunately, everyone is searching for an easy no downtime answer and it just doesn't exist yet. Unless you put in the right amount of energy into the skin you won't stimulate real improvements. Even laser resurfacing results last about 2-3 years for wrinkles before collagen breaks down again.

Hello. New to this board. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for amazing social skills books? Our son is in a 3rd Grade inclusion class. He is PDD and is having a tough time learning when not to crowd or obsess over a new friend. We are so proud that he is branching out and wanting to interact. However, teaching social cues is getting tougher. We're working with the team at school (wonderful) but are always looking for outside assistance as a reinforcer!

As a woman who has been bargain shopping for 30 years, I can tell you that price matching is not considered another offer. This only refers using two coupons or some other kind of special that the store is offering.
I have used coupons on top of price matching many, many times and it is a perfectly acceptable and legit consumer behavior.
I also question that you could not get a price match on your first choice of items. Regardless of selling under cost, stores that offer price matching should do so on any item. I'm not familiar with Sony Style's policy so if they don't usually offer price matching then it's acceptable.
By all means - use the coupon!

Nothing in the new Style Guidelines is really new or surprising. Some of it was already discussed on this list (like using tabs for indentation) and others were already described in Webware.html. Also, this is mostly for those who develop on Webware, which imposes no restrictions on those who use it. Feel free to give feedback of any sort. I created a new Webware/bin directory to hold utilities of general use (mostly for those who develop Webware). The two scripts in the main directory, clean and lines, will go here after they're rewritten in Python. I added bin/checksrc.py to check some of the source code conventions described in the style guidelines. Unfortunately it doesn't grok multiline strings yet, so it gives many false alarms that it shouldn't. I fixed DocSupport/toc.py which generated improper <font> tags in the Table of Contents for various docs. In other news, Webware has been consistently in the top 10 downloads list and among the top 5 most active projects at the Python foundry: http://sourceforge.net/foundry/python-foundry/ -Chuck

About me:
I've been working and playing with computers since the mid-80s when my parents bought me a Tandy computer and the tape machine to go with it. In 1994, I bought my first "real" computer, and learned how to use it by reading the entire manual, along with the whole Windows manual. (Yes, I'm that person.) I went online, not caring that I didn't know one other person with an email address. I quickly learned basic HTML, and customized my first free website.
I've been blogging on one of five blogs since 2004, and I am familiar with both Blogger and WordPress. I currently have three (somewhat) active blogs on Blogger, and one using a self-hosted WP account. I have been using Facebook for both personal and promotional use since 2008, and Twitter since 2010. I have been using Google+ since 2012 and am less familiar with that site.
I have been blogging regularly on this blog since April 2011, when I decided to post daily for one year. I only made it through the end of November, but I still post at least once a week, and usually more often. I have had two blog posts selected for curation by BlogHer.
In 2011, I became involved in the indie publishing industry–mostly by accident when I started reviewing self-published books. As I joined and participated in forums and Facebook groups with indie authors and other bloggers, I learned much about the industry. (I do have a few friends who are traditionally published, but my knowledge is in self-publishing.) In July, 2012, I started offering my services as an editor and proofreader, both on Fiverr.com and privately, through this blog. I have had several repeat clients through both venues.
I enjoy researching new things, and have been known (more than once) to get every book the GA (yes, the whole state; I'm that person, remember?) library system has on a subject, and read until I run out of books, or until the information becomes repetitive.
I've completed an Entrepreneurial Success course series, a Web Design course series, and a Quickbooks course at a local college (although I'm not offering bookkeeping services; Quickbooks is not my friend).
As for "real life" work experience, I've worked in fast food, manufacturing, IT (specifically network administration and technical support), data entry, and as a receptionist, an administrative assistant, and a merchandiser. For several years, I volunteered with a local food bank in several capacities, including webmaster, Board Secretary, and on-site volunteer. I also have extensive customer service and direct sales experience. Almost all my jobs involved some sort of customer service, and I was an independent Pampered Chef consultant from July 2002 until February 2014. I'm not a big fan of phone calls, though, so I was not wildly successful. I have, however, accumulated a vast array of direct sales knowledge from newsletters, meetings, and conferences.
I am currently homeschooling my two sons, although it's usually more a case of me helping them find ways to learn what they want to know, than me doing any "schooling". This usually involves still more research, as well as some organizational skills to keep us all sane.

A PORCELAIN collection started by a milkman in the 1970s is set to fetch thousands of pounds at auction in Dorchester.
The collection, including work by renowned painters from the Coalpart and Royal Worcester factories, is the fruits of the labours of passionate collector Bernie Wood.
He ensured all his pieces were of the highest quality and condition and created handmade fitted boxes to keep them in pristine condition.
The collection, which was amassed over 40 years, is now going on sale for the first time at Duke's auctioneers in Dorchester tomorrow and has a combined estimated value of more than £10,000.
The works include pieces by noted porcelain painters John Stinton and Frederick Herbert Chivers.
Amy Brenan, a valuer at Duke's, said: "This stunning collection includes examples of the very best output of the Coalport and Royal Worcester porcelain factories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
"The overall condition and scope of the selection on sale reflects the diligence and discernment of Bernie Wood in ensuring that only the finest pieces gained entry into this excellent collection.
"The sale of the collection provides an unmissable opportunity to secure some of the best examples of painted British porcelain on the market today."
Bernie's passion for painted porcelain evolved from an early interest in commemorative ceramics, which he discovered whilst working as a milkman in 1976. As his career progressed, so too did his taste for finer porcelain.
He has spent many hours and miles travelling across the country to secure pieces of the best quality and condition to add to his collection, and even created hand-made fitted boxes for many of the pieces now on sale.
One of the outstanding pieces in the collection is a superb Royal Worcester porcelain vase and cover painted with a beautiful highland cattle by John Sinton, which is expected to fetch between £1,500 and £2,000.
Another lot expected to attract plenty of bidding is a pair of Royal Worcester porcelain ewers painted by Charles Dean that have an estimated value of between £600 and £1,200.

A FALL has been recorded in the cash claimed by councillors on South Lakeland District Council.
Last year, £291,430 was paid out to the authority's 51 councillors and nine different co-optees.
But over the 2013-14 financial year, that figure fell slightly to £280,454, new statistics show.
In total, £279,000 was paid directly to SLDC's councillors who all claim a basic £3,879.
They can also claim travel and subsistence or for any special responsibilities.
Extra payments are given if the councillor holds a special responsibility, like leader of their political group, a high-ranking role on a committee or are a member of SLDC's most senior committee, the Cabinet.
- Police hunt for driver after cyclist taken to hospital in critical condition following Ulverston collision
- Car jacker ordered elderly woman out of her car at Carnforth services
- PICTURE GALLERY: 32 photos from local schools' prom nights
- Flood barriers planned for Appleby's historic Cloisters
As is usual practice, the highest amount went to the overall Council leader Peter Thornton of the Lib Dems, who claimed £19,812 in total.
This was a basic of £3,879 plus £13,365 as council leader and £2,567 in travel and subsistence expenses.
Coun Thornton, of Longsleddale, represents the Whinfell ward on SLDC and was elected leader in May 2012.
Coun David Williams, leader of the Conservative opposition on SLDC, claimed £6477 in total - consisting of the basic £3879 and £2207 for his special responsibility, along with £390 in travel and subsistence.
Eleven councillors on SLDC claimed only the basic £3879 and did not submit any travel or subsistence claims.
The money paid is subject to deduction of tax and national insurance.
The payments councillors receive is set by the council's Independent Renumeration Panel made up of members of the public.
Ian Kell, of Mealbank, has been calling on the council to review how it recruits people to the panel. The full council on July 28 will consider a report on the subject.
The 38-members of Tory-run Eden District Council claimed just over £198,000 in allowances and expenses.

Several retail stores in the U.S. refuse to stock the magazine's latest issue unless the offending areas are covered up.
Lady GaGa sparks controversy due to her racy photoshoot for Q Magazine which sees her posing topless and having a dildo strapped in her pants. It's not the dildo which puts her on the hot water but the fact that she shows the lower part of her boob.
Retail stores like Borders have refused to distribute the publication's April issue based on the law in the U.S. which prohibits showing any area of the breast below the nipple. The chains also express concern over GaGa's "crotch grabbing", but surprisingly say nothing about the dildo. They are willing to put the magazine on their shelves only if the offending areas are covered up.
Several other major stores in the country are yet to give their approval to stock the magazine. Meanwhile, some independent stockists reportedly have no objection about selling the magazine "with the cover in it's full glory."
Lady GaGa herself is yet to comment on the issue. But, the magazine's editor said in a written statement, "We can't help wonder what Lady GaGa herself would make of this turn of events, given her prophetic quote, standing at the start of the Q photo shoot with a dildo in her hand 'It'd be a real f**king story, right'..."

I have a VMWare Server 1.0.3 build 44356 that runs on Windows XP. I
had wanted to run some Linux distro, but the machine simply refused to
even load the kernel so I installed XP. It's an IBM xSeries 200
server with a PIII 800 MHz processor and about 768MB of RAM. I can
load m0n0wall on the box without any problem, but I want to also run a
spam filter on it, hence VMWare.
It's runs M0n0wall 1.231 in one VM and ESVA Spam filtering & mail
stats in another VM.
XP is on SP2.
Problem is m0n0wall hangs quite often for no apparent reason. It
happens that it runs for a day without problems and then, when it
freezes, the CPU is at 100% with the m0n0 VM taking all available
cycles is seems.
There was an issue like this towards the end of 2006 with an earlier
version of m0n0wall, but that seems to have been resolved, yet I have
no idea what to do to fix this.
Is this a VMWare issue or is is m0n0wall? The other VM (ESVA) runs
fine, uses much more RAM and CPU than m0n0wall, yet never freezes,
which to me seems to point at something thats wrong with m0n0wall. On
the other hand I have other m0n0walls running the same version without
any problem, but none on a VMware VM. I have changed the amount of
RAM allocated to the m0n0 VM, and am on 64M at this stage, but none of
it seems to make a difference.
Insights, pointers or comments please?

Miley and Margaret: It's a Cho-Down!
The fallout over Miley Cyrus' seemingly offensive photo just keeps on coming. Korean-American comedienne Margaret Cho, 40, has tossed her two cents into the controversy, writing a scathing song to the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star on her blog. "I am so upset by Miley Cyrus, I think it warrants a song!" Cho reveals in a blog post titled, "Oh Miley."
The juicier lyrics are excerpted below:
"Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes/
Standing behind an Asian guy/
I don't know if this should fly/
As if there wasn't enough to despise"
"All you have to do is pull at your face/
To make your eyelids resemble our race/
This kind of joke has no proper place/
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!"
Ooohh…feel the lyrical burn of MC Cho!
That may be the least of Miley's troubles, however. As TMZ reports, Los Angeles resident Lucie J. Kim has filed a class-action lawsuit against Cyrus asking for $4 billion in damages.
Kim—who claims to represent the estimated 1 million-plus Asian Pacific Islanders who live in Los Angeles County—says that Cyrus "knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ."
In her suit, Kim claims that each Asian Pacific Islander in L.A. County is entitled to $4,000, the minimum damages for a civil-rights violation. Hence the $4 billion.
That's some serious cash; Miley might have to do a little moonlighting if the suit succeeds.Maybe she can strike up an endorsement deal with a certain Los Angeles sushi restaurant?

Oreo Party Pops
Recipe by SweetsLady
What fun! I got this from a Family Fun magazine, I believe. After 1st review, I went back to clarify some instructions to make it easier. :D Have fun!
Top Review by Bonnie G 2
Made these with my DGSs and had so much fun with them. They both gave them a full 5 stars and were so proud of them when they were done. A little sweet for me, but then made them for my sweet loving boys. A hint to those of you having trouble with the adding the sticks. I had seen a hint that worked great. Before dipping, insert the stick inside the cookie and they separate EASY and even leave the indention for the stick - be sure and put a spot of the chocolate over the frosting where the stick is so that when you put them back together it all sticks when the chocolate hardens. I did all this step before I even started dipping so that the cookies were set.
See Discussion:5 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 20 wooden popsicle sticks or 20 lollipop sticks
- 20 Oreo Double Stuff cookies (must use Double Stuff or it won't work)
- 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I use 1/4 block paraffin)
- chopped nuts
- colored sprinkles
- coconut
- miniature candies like miniature M&M's chocolate candies or Reese's pieces
Directions See How It's Made
- To form Oreo® Pops, hold both outsides of oreo with good hold but not too hard, slide the stick in the cream filling gently glide it in but make sure not to have it go to the other side. (I have also heard if you put them on the defrost mode of microwave for 10 seconds before putting the stick in that it helps). Put in freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate and oil until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. I have melted in this in the microwave on 70% power for 1 minute - stir, then additional 20-30 seconds until melted.
- Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Place dipped cookies on greased waxed paper and decorate with your choice of items.
- Put cookies in fridge for an hour or until set. Then wrap in plastic wrap and tie with a bow for gift-giving.

Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work
Consider this simple yet powerful idea: disruptive companies and ideas upend markets by doing something truly different—they see a need, an empty space waiting to be filled, and they dare to create something for which a market may not yet exist.As president and co-founder of Rose Park Advisors' Disruptive Innovation Fund with Clayton Christensen, Whitney Johnson utilized the theory of disruptive innovation to invest in publicly traded stocks and private early stage companies. In this book, she will help you understand how the frameworks of disruptive innovation can apply to you:
This book is for YOU if you are:
- a high potential individual charting your career trajectory
- a leader trying to jumpstart innovative thinking in your company
- a self-starter ready to make a disruptive pivot in your business
This book is for your COMPANY if:
- revenue growth is peaking and you need to reinvent
- innovative thinking among your management team has stalled
- industry changes are making the future uncertain
We are living in an era of accelerating disruption—managing the S-curve waves of learning and mastering is a requisite skill. If you want to be successful in unexpected ways, follow your own disruptive path. Dare to innovate. Do something astonishing. Disrupt yourself™.
In Dare, Dream, Do, Whitney Johnson shows us, through story and practice, how to reclaim our dreams and become as daring as we always imagined we could be. It is a book at once poignant and powerful.
Every night before I fell asleep my mom would say to me, "You can do anything you want to as long as you put your mind to it." Dare, Dream, Do is inspiring and eye-opening. Whitney is reminding us how important it is to dream at any age.
There are just a few books where you want to read every single word. Dare, Dream, Do by Whitney Johnson is one of those rare books. Every page is filled with stories, with wisdom, and with unusual insights that inspire and guide us in how to dream, but more importantly, how to turn our dreams into realities so that we can live lives we most want to live.
Available Now
Remarkable Things Happen When You Dare To Dream
Whitney Johnson, popular Harvard Business Review blogger, has a goal: to help us identify and achieve our dreams. Her belief is that we can each achieve greater happiness when focusing both on our dreams and on other people in our lives. In this inspiring book, Johnson directs her attention to teaching women, in particular, a three-step model for personal advancement and happiness. She first encourages us to DARE to boldly step out, to consider disrupting life as we know it. Then she teaches us how to DREAM, to give life to the many possibilities available, whether to start a business, run a marathon, or travel the world. She shows us how to "date" our dreams (no need to commit!) and how to make space for dreams. Finally, Whitney's model brings out the businesswoman in her; she teaches us to DO, to execute our dreams. She showcases the importance of sharing dreams with others to give them life, creating your own "dream team." Rich with real stories of women who have dared to dream, DARE, DREAM, DO offers a practical framework to realize one's true potential.
In her mid-twenties, Whitney found herself in New York, where she landed a secretarial job on Wall Street. With no relevant experience, and a bit shy on confidence, she contemplated her future and her dreams. Through determination and hard work, Whitney became an investment banker, moving to the analyst side of the business, executing the plans she'd laid out for herself. Naively, she thought most women were following similar paths until she started talking and found that many women were not daring to dream at all. It was because of these conversations that she started a blog in 2006, which became the inspiration for this book. DARE, DREAM, DO is full of remarkable stories of women, which will no doubt inspire others to follow suit. Although Whitney focuses on the stories of women, her blog is popular with men as well, and her advice speaks to either gender.

You have to be there. Maybe that's why mainstream radio has never really warmed up to Jimmy Buffett.
With the exception of his mega-hits with Alan Jackson ("Five O'Clock Somewhere") and The Zac Brown Band ("Knee Deep"), the only Buffett songs you are likely to hear on the radio are "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise."
And, that's a shame, because there is so much more to him than a tune about tequila and who's to blame for a breakup.
Come to a concert and you'll understand why parrotheads (Jimmy's fans) are so loyal.
During a stop on the "This One's For You" tour Saturday night in Frisco, Jimmy gave the beached-up crowd what they wanted, including favorites like "Changes in Latitude," "Come Monday," "Volcano," "He Went to Paris" and "A Pirate Looks at 40."
But, the Big Kahuna also gave a nod to songwriters and performers he admires, including Van Morrison ("Brown-Eyed Girl"), Don Gibson and George Strait ("Sea of Heartbreak"), Will Kimbrough ("Nobody From Nowhere"), James Taylor ("Mexico") and Steven Stills ("Southern Cross").
He chose Texas songwriting legend Willis Alan Ramsey's "Northeast Texas Women" as one of the encores, giving a nod to his friend from the early years.
It's also Buffett's way of letting long-time fans know how much he loves Texas.
In the early days, he could always find work here – work that he says kept him from starving – and it seems he has a genuine affection for the Lone Star State. And, Texas loves him back, providing a fan base large enough to support four stops on the current tour (Houston, Austin, The Coyote-Drive In and Frisco).
Buffett, now 67, doesn't seem to age. He's lost most of his trademark curls, but none of the incredible charm and love of performing, sporting a perpetual smile that can light up 22,000 fans on any given evening.
Along with being a born entertainer, Buffett is one smart businessman. He's turned a drinking song into one of the most recognizable brands in the world. He has Margaritaville-theme restaurants and bars, clothing, casinos and his own satellite radio station.
He's a millionaire many times over.
He owns homes in Florida, Long Island, St. Barts and just recently purchased a place in Los Angeles. He's also a best-selling author.
So why does he bother to hit the road every year?
Because he loves it – at least that's what I think – and I've been a fan since the early, lean years when he was playing small bars in Dallas. Armed with just a guitar, he was singing some of his own tunes, but also covered Gordon Lightfoot and other folk artists of the time. He was young and hungry, but he was always, always happy. As he once said, "I don't sing the blues."
Another reason Buffett can make his annual pilgrimage around the country is due to the musicians who make up the Coral Reefer Band.
Six-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally is Buffett's musical director. The two have collaborated for years.
The group includes Tina Gullickson and Nadirah Shakoor on vocals, Eric Darken on percussion, Peter Mayer on lead guitar, Doyle Grisham on pedal steel guitar, Roger Guth on drums, Jim Mayer on bass, Robert Greenidge on steel drums, Michael Utley (another long-time friend and collaborator) on keyboards and John Lovell on trumpet.
He's surrounded himself with good musicians since he hit the big time. Former Coral Reefers include notable artists Jerry Jeff Walker, John Hiatt, Russ Kunkel, J.D. Souther, Greg "Fingers" Taylor, Johnny Gimble and Sheryl Crow.
Buffett and the Reefers did a gig in Fort Worth Thursday night at the Coyote Drive-In. The 1,100 tickets sold out in 10 seconds. The show was simulcast to more than 80 drive-ins across the country. From all accounts, the show was a resounding success and more dates are planned.
Buffett's road crews make good use of multiple big screens and footage of tropical locales to add to the overall experience.
Whether you're a long-time fan or a newbie, a Jimmy Buffett show is cause for celebration and a chance to escape to the beach without leaving North Texas. Just check out the parking lot at Frisco. They start lining up on Thursday. Yep. It was a three-day party that lasted well into Sunday morning – with parking passes that can run upwards of $200 a day for an RV. We're talking serious dedication to Buffett's lifestyle.
Walk the expansive parking lot prior to the show and you'll find pirates, hula girls, tiki bars and swimming pool and of course, delicious cheeseburgers. This year, a couple even got engaged.
When the Jimmy Buffett carnival rolls into Texas next year, give his easy, breezy lifestyle a try, if only for an evening. Put on a Hawaiian shirt, wear some flip flops and step onto the concrete beach – where the sun may set, but the party goes on forever. Phins UP!
John Fogerty opened for Buffett Saturday and man, did he and his band rock the crowd, performing 17 numbers, including "Green River," "Looking Out My Back Door," "Midnight Special," "Fortunate Son" and a duet with Jimmy on "Down on the Corner." Fogerty's drummer, Kenny Aronoff, took off on a couple of smoking solos.
Kudos to Fogerty's crew. The sound level was perfect. Fogerty's strong vocals and Aronoff's incredible stick work came across the floor of the stadium perfectly.
Everyone was on their feet and pumped up – perfectly primed when Buffett came bouncing onto the stage.
For a limited time, you can watch shows from the current tour at no cost on Margaritaville TV. Visit www.margaritaville.tv for details.
