HOW THEY DO IT; Making a Business of What You Know Best
Published: April 9, 1994
In 1991, Michael Holman closed Holman Industries, a 12-year-old mechanical assembly plant in Inglewood, Claif., which had nearly $2 million in annual sales to the commercial and aerospace industries. He said it was getting harder to deal with his clients, and he wnated to quit while he was ahead and could afford to spend some time developing new ventures. A serious weekend bike rider, Mr. Holman decided he could improve on the post that holds the seal for off-road mountain bikes. On the typical mountain bike, the seat post is slanted about 18 degrees up, putting the rider off his center of gravity on inclines and descents. Mr. Holman envisioned an adjustable seat post made of aerospace-quality aluminum with four positions - neutral, forward, back and one that lowers the seat out of the way. WIth a click of a control on the handlebars, riders would be able to adjust the slant. Mr. Holman, 37, is now president of Centerline Sports Inc., of Torrance, Calif., maker of the Power Post.
Photo: Michael Holman and his invention (Jim Wilson/The New York Times) Graphs show how Michael Holman developed and marketed the Power Post between July 1992 and March 1994. Gives estimated sales and projected costs for the first 12 months.

Coloring books are stressful.
You know the ones—the coloring books that are made-for-grown-up-people, the ones with page after page of line drawings with intricate patterns and hand-drawn details and lots of little tiny bits for meditative coloring. Those ones.
Side note: This post includes affiliate links. Learn more.
I picked up a couple of wintery ones to try in December, thinking that anti-stress holiday coloring sounded BRILLIANT. I was going to be blissed-out all season long. This was anti-stress-planning genius!
Things did not turn out quite that way.
First of all, pine needles do not look very pine needle-y all colored lime green, even if that is the only green you can find.
Then some of the little patterns are so small, there's no such thing as "coloring inside the lines." How would you even do that? What do you color with, a toothpick? And there are so many teensy shapes that you NEVER FINISH COLORING.
I probably just have the wrong colored pencils.
(Yes, I am conveniently overlooking the time I went to my friend Bonnie's house to listen to a podcast together, and picked up one of the spare coloring books she'd set out. I wound up hunched over my paper, desperately trying to color all the curlicues green before the podcast ended. I have no idea what the podcast was about, I forgot to listen to any of it.)
For a recovering perfectionist…
For a recovering perfectionist, all those swirls and crisscrosses and leafy shapes are not an invitation to be meditative, they are an invitation to be obsessive.
Are my triangles colored evenly, not sketchily? Am I even supposed to color this edge piece? I didn't put a bunch of clashing colors next to each other, did I? OH WAIT I DID. And now there's too much red everywhere! What happened to my carefully planned color scheme?
At some point you have to admit the problem is not that you have the wrong markers or the wrong colored pencils or the wrong book. At some point you have to face the fact that this is not soothing or meditative or even particularly holiday-related.
But. Good news!
You don't have to keep doing things that are supposed to be good if they actually aren't.
You don't have to keep doing the things that are supposed to help but don't actually help.
You don't have to keep doing the things that you're supposed to enjoy but don't.
(Though maybe I can find a crumb of gratitude for becoming aware of the thing that bothers me, and for the chance to practice letting go of it. Again. MAYBE.)
So I am going to practice letting go and also coloring less.
Instead, for the next few weeks, I am going to do something that actually makes me feel refreshed and refueled.
I am going to read all the books.
I'm going for books that will help me think about old things in new ways, that will give me insight into my own mess, and that will make me feel hopeful about all the things. (Or at least an occasional thing. Some things. I will take hope about some things.)
What I'm reading to refuel
Love Warrior
Glennon Doyle Melton's Love Warrior, because we need more love warriors in the world. I think love is meant to be our full-time job, guys.
How to Be Here
Rob Bell's How to Be Here, because here is where I want to be. It's the only place we can find each other—and the only place we can really find ourselves.
Still Writing
Dani Shapiro's Still Writing, because I want to soak up ideas about creativity and craft. (And because I read Dani's spiritual memoir, Devotion, a few months ago, and I am already ready to invite her voice back into my head.)
Year of Yes
Shonda Rhimes's Year of Yes, because I have been practicing saying yes to the things that make me feel like I'm going to throw up and I could use some literary encouragement.
Commonwealth & Today Will Be Different
Ann Patchett's Commonwealth (because: Ann Patchett) and Maria Semple's Today Will Be Different (because: who didn't love Where'd You Go, Bernadette?). And because sometimes fiction tells us the truth about real life.
What to read for YOUR fresh start
What's that? You need something to read, too?
You want something to help you reflect on where you are right now, and how you want to show up in the year ahead? You need space to think about who you were made to be? You need ideas for how to let go of everything else that gets in the way?
Well hooray, because I've put together three e-book experiences for you!
They're all for sale now in my Digital Downloads shop.
Do Your Thing
How to Make Time For All the Things You Were Made to Do
It's back! The little ebook that readers call "refreshing," "peaceful," and "exactly what I needed," is available for sale now.
How do you do it all? It's the question everyone wants answered.
But what if there's a better question? What if you don't have to do it all? What if the more important question is: What are you meant to do?
It is possible to live a simpler, less hectic life. It's possible to live a life more full of meaning, and less full of busy. I'll show you how.
What Readers Say
"It's like having a long, deep conversation with a friend you don't get to see nearly enough. When you finish, you feel more grounded and inspired to cut back on those things that are depleting your reserves and say yes to those things that fill you up and make you whole."
"It feels like a guide to starting over to me. And as I read it line by line, I begin to see little glimpses of what could be next."

Art Imitates Politics
A new fictional account of the 2004 Presidential election has readers
guessing. With many of the plot lines and characters in "Red State
Rising" mirroring political facts in Ohio, readers are left wondering
what really happened and who was responsible.
"It reminds me a lot of 'Primary Colors'," noted one critic, "It's
kind of fun to try to guess who's who in the story."
The book begins with the education of a young intern who quickly falls
in over his head. Through his eyes, we learn how politics is played in
a fictional mid-western state. Everything from failed investments in
stamp collections to a mysterious suicide are topics of "Red State

human face on the daily statistics."
Butler is a seasoned political professional with 16 years of
experience working for both the Republican and Libertarian parties. He
attended George Washington University in Washington, DC and interned

There are threats to small businesses that most of us cannot control–better funded competitors or an economic slowdown are just a couple of examples. But what of those risks that emanate from within your business? Vague policies, unclear procedures, and poor monitoring can hamper growth and sometimes even destroy a business. We can help you mitigate these risks by reviewing and updating your current internal controls or creating new ones that will streamline and safeguard your business.
With the correct internal controls, goals and policies are clearly articulated and procedures for communication and security are standardized throughout the business. The duties and responsibilities of employees are documented and segregated thereby removing the opportunity for theft and reducing errors. Records of stock and equipment are periodically checked against actual inventory counts.
The internal controls we design for your business will assure efficiency of operations, reliability of financial reporting, and regulatory compliance. Risks can never be completely removed, but we can identify and prioritize them for you and recommend strategies to combat them wherever possible.

I've been getting a fair number of questions lately that go like this:
What does Scrum say about [[ something that Scrum does not prescribe anything for ]]??
I love Schwaber's chess analogy: you either play chess, or you do not. In the same way that chess does not succeed or fail, Scrum does not succeed or fail. Knowing the rules does not make you a Grandmaster or effective Scrum practitioner; strategy, practice, mentorship, etc. *may* make you a Grandmaster or effective Scrum practitioner. You get the idea.
Scaling Scrum is something that is not prescribed by the rules of Scrum**. But I'd like to tie scaling to the chess analogy.

On its first play from the scrimmage, Landry-Walker lost possession of the ball because of a high center snap.
That proved to be a minor hiccup in the Charging Buccaneers' game against Lake Area on Friday night at Behrman Stadium.
On Landry-Walker's second play, Javon Conner swept left on an 84-yard touchdown run that set the tone for a 40-20 homecoming victory in the regular-season finale.
"We were not happy with that snap because we practice hard," Landry-Walker coach Emmanuel Powell said. "But we played well, we played everybody and nobody got hurt going into the playoffs. That's the way homecoming is supposed to be."
Landry-Walker (8-2) finished in a three-way tie for first place in District 9-4A after Karr topped Warren Easton 34-33 on Friday night.
Conner's touchdown was the first of four in the first quarter by Landry-Walker on its way to a 34-0 lead first-half lead against overmatched Lake Area (4-5). The Fighting Leopards, who are a football independent, do not compete for district honors.
When the Buccaneers regained possession, they struck quickly. On first down, quarterback Li'Jon Cordier completed a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kaleb Anderson speeding down the middle of the field, and it was 16-0 at 7:15 of the first quarter.
Powell then began substituting wholesale. With reserves in the game, the Bucs took a little longer to score the next time. After sophomore linebacker Ashton Bowie recovered a fumble on the Leopards' 44, backup quarterback Keytaon Thompson completed a 56-yard touchdown pass to Mikhail Jacobs at 5:45 of the first.
Thompson, a 6-foot-2 sophomore, completed a 20-yard touchdown pass to Devanta Jason on Landry-Walker's next possession, pushing the score to 28-0. That came after an 8-yard Lake Area punt coupled with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Getting extended playing time, Thompson wasn't done, throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremy Sanders with 2:10 left before halftime, giving the Bucs a 34-0 lead. It was the only touchdown of the second quarter.
Thompson finished the half – and the game – with 4-of-7 passing for 109 yards and three touchdowns. Cordier was 2-of-3 for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Landry-Walker scored once more — on a 28-yard sweep by Tevin King at 7:20 of the third quarter.
Lake Area quarterback Ricky Jones and receiver Frank Jordan combined on an 8-yard pass play for its first score. After a successful onside kick, Leopards running back Cyron Sutton swept left for a 44-yard touchdown. Then after only the second punt of the game, both ironically by Landry-Walker, Lake Area scored again. Jones set it up with a 29-yard run to the 1. He sneaked for the touchdown on the next play.
Sutton finished with 94 yards on six carries. He had 86 yards on four carries in the second half, most of it in the fourth quarter. Jones was 8-of-17 passing for 140 yards. Ninety came in the second half.

After the harvesting job of the vineyard 'Deidesheimer Kieselberg', was done and the lunch consumed, we took a guided tour of about 1,5 hours through the wine fields, passing some of the most prestigious vineyards of the Pfalz. Those sites I want to get back to in an extra post later on.
Christoph Graf and Werner Sebastian were sharing lots of information and knowledge with us, explaining the different soils, training systems, vineyards, the biodynamical standards. We got to see the difference between sites treated with chemicals (from other vintners, not von Buhl sites), where nothing but burnt grass is left and sites that were full of lush green grass, flowers and plants. 'Sustainable soil management', a term often referred to in press and literature, became easily comprehensible. Sebastian Werner explained (among other) how they use filled cow horns and cow dung as opposed to chemicals. He himself cannot really explain the mechanisms, and he agrees it sounds like 'hocus-pocus', as many critics like to refer to biodynamic viticulture. But - what he can see, is the difference in how it works and how healthy the vines and grapes are each season. Of accepted 3 kg copper sulfates, they need only ca 900 g / year. Ca 750 work hours are spent in the vineyards during a cycle, which is expensive, but it helps to see problems and risks early on. Fast actions can be taken when trouble is on its way. Plus, vines and people build some kind of relationship, he explains. They care about their vines...

(note that this is not a von Buhl vineyard though)
(note that this is not a von Buhl vineyard though)
View over Forst and the famous vineyards Freundstück, Kirchenstück, Ungeheuer.
Of course, we were not to suffer (!), so a wine was served here too, before we walked back to the estate. Stuck (Qualitätswein trocken), a cuvée of Riesling and Gewürztraminer - quite interesting! I liked the complexity that was gained by adding the aromas of roses and lychee, but, frankly, I would probably have preferred a little less sweetness (7 g residual sugar)...
The label of this wine dates back to 1887, when the German artist Franz von Stuck, a teacher of Klee, Kandinsky and other famous artists, created it. At that time for a wine made of a field blend, where Riesling and Gewürztraminer were cultivated in the same vineyard and harvested together too. (Unlike today's cuvée, where the wine is blended from two individually produced wines.) This wine seems like a nice way to go back to the roots.
Now it was time for the tastings, which deserve their own post...
Then a cellar tour completed the harvesting experience from earlier, to see what happens next to the grapes we picked and to learn more about the estate. The estate that once was part of the Jordan estate which was devided into 3 smaller estates after the death of Peter H. Jordan. Franz Peter Buhl, the son in law and founder of the von Buhl estate, had already been responsible for the wines of the Jordan winery. His son, Armand Buhl, took the estate to even greater success. During his years, the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal was celebrated with von Buhl wine and many grand awards were given. Smart marriages further saw to the growth of the estate. Unfortunately, the last von Buhl widow, Frida, passed away without heirs. So in 1952 the estate was given to a friend of her late husband Eberhard Buhl, in accordance to his last will. Difficult times came and hectars were sold off. Since 1989, the winery was managed by an investment group and today it is owned by Achim Niederberger, a local entrepreneur. Read part one for the details around today's ownership and management.
The barrique cellar
Sparking wine is done the traditional way
In these tanks the grape must is still fermenting.
After that, dinner was served. A buffé of Pfälzer food, hearty and aromatic, served with... yes: wine.
All in all a very nice day, I can recommend it for you next year! Go to www.reichsrat-von-buhl.de to sign up for their activities.
And stay tuned for my post about the tastings of the Grosse Gewächse and Sekt.

Acupuncture is a popular intervention for chronic pain, especially headaches. With that, the science behind it and the actual usefulness of it as a therapy is controversial. Let's take a closer look at this complementary intervention that is gaining more and more popularity.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an alternative therapy that was developed initially as a Chinese medical practice to revert patients back to their state of equilibrium, prior to their illness manifestation. The actual procedure entails stimulating various points on the body using a number of techniques -- the most common one being a thin, solid, metal needle that penetrates the skin and is manipulated either by the acupuncturist or through electrical stimulation.

Does Acupuncture Work for Headaches?

It's hard to say. The research is conflicting and not super convincing. For example, one 2009 review examined two large trials that compared using acupuncture to treat acute headaches to either no treatment or to routine care. Both found that acupuncture was beneficial up to 3 months in reducing the number of headache days. There was no data provided on whether acupuncture reduced the number of headaches after 3 months.

On the contrary, a 2013 review study in the The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2013 examined 5 studies that compared real acupuncture versus sham acupuncture (not real) in the treatment of tension-type headaches. The results showed no difference between the real versus sham acupuncture in terms of reducing headache days. The authors did note in sub-group analysis ( which is a deeper look into the studies) that certain factors may explain why there was no difference found between the real and sham acupuncture.

These factors include:

mode of acupuncture stimulation (i.e. manual versus electrical)

duration of needle retention

frequency of treatment

Basically these quality-related factors could potentially explain why some studies show acupuncture is effective whereas others do not -- and likewise, why some people in real life swear by the benefits of acupuncture and others are more doubtful.

In terms of preventing migraines, the scientific evidence appears a bit more supportive of acupuncture's effectiveness -- although, experts still question the placebo effect.

In addition, some studies show that acupuncture could be slightly more effective in preventing migraines than a migraine preventive medication. As an added bonus, acupuncture is not associated with the side effects that some migraine medications have -- still, don't be surprised if your neurologist

What Does This Mean for You as a Headache or Migraine Sufferer?

This means that there is simply not enough scientific evidence out there to support acupuncture as a definitively beneficial headache and migraine therapy.

But that does not mean you cannot try it (its safe) and of course, continue acupuncture, if it works for you. Remember, headache and migraine treatment is individualized, so what works for you, may not work for others.

That being said, please discuss all treatment decisions with your doctor. It may be that a headache or migraine medication, along with an alternative therapy like acupuncture ends up being a healthy regimen for you. As always, be proactive in your health care.

Antarctica and Sea Ice
Floating sea ice encompasses Antarctica's land mass. Ice concentration is a measure of the real coverage of sea ice, which becomes less concentrated at greater distances from shore. Scientists want to know where this sea ice is thinning and thickening to better understand its role in the Earth system.

Need Idea For A "chevron" Cake, Please Help!!!
Decorating By miny Updated 24 Feb 2008 , 12:10am by miny
Can anyone help me? A friend wants a cake for her husband's birthday and she wants something related to his work (she only told me he works at the Chevron refinery offices), I thought about a little fondant desk with office supplies on top of the cake but I think is kind of boring, any ideas are greatly appreciated. thanks!
. . . I'm not sure if Chevron with Techron is just a Canadian thing . . . and I realize you said refinery . . . but I'll throw this idea out for whatever it is worth . . . these cars attached are from Chevron commercials up here in the Great White North . . . might be fun to make one of the cars???
and these links show close up details . . . http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/trevor-tow-truck/
http://www.chevroncars.com/meet/car/travis-tanker/ and there are a whole bunch of other cars on the same link just click on the name of the car in the box off to the bottom left . . . maybe there is one similar to what he drives (or his "dream" car??) . . .
How about just make the "Chevron"... Carve and ice the cake to look like the symbol
Thank you guys these are really good ideas, I'll talk tomorrow with my friend and see what she thinks about them, I liked them both so much. I really love when people give me time to come up with an amazing cake, don't you? Good thing I still have 2 weeks!!!! Once again thanks!

I just moved the office of one of my customers, and a couple of users who could print from and while using a Cisco AnyConnect VPN now can't.
I changed routers when moving from the SonicWall T210 tot he Verizon N router to get us going.
They contacted the company who they remote into with the VPN (they're a contractor), and the tech said that they shouldn't have been able to print in the first place. Well, they've been able to do it for the last 5 years up until the move.
For all the eye-rollers out there :), I did try to plug and play the whole network, but I sort of inherited it, and couldn't get access to the SonicWall without resetting it.
The new IP address range is still in 192.168.1.x, but it's everything up to .254, whereas before, it was limited to .150+ up (for DCHP, I believe), and only network hardware and servers (2 of them) were put static and at low numbers, like .2-.20. I think.
The 'servers' are actually just XP boxes with Raid as network shares, so they aren't handling any DCHP/DHS work. That's another post altogether.
I tried enabling the "Allow LAN" check box in the AnyConnect VPN configuration, but no dice.
I need to get these workers printing from their VPNs again. What are your thoughts?

Are they network printers or connect to a print server? Have you tried to ping the printers if they are a network printer?

They are able to print locally when not connected to vpn.

Any ideas?
Could it be a setting in the Verizon wireless router?
Jul 9, 2012 at 11:27 UTC
Are the local printers shared from a computer or server? Are the network printers that are setup locally?
What is the current ip address range being handed out by verizon router?
I am assuming you are talking about the ip address handed out over the vpn
"The new IP address range is still in 192.168.1.x, but it's everything up to .254, whereas before, it was limited to .150+ up (for DCHP, I believe), and only network hardware and servers (2 of them) were put static and at low numbers, like .2-.20. I think."
Jul 9, 2012 at 11:46 UTC
You have to set the metric route, in the software you can set it.
Right now it disables any ip address outside of its own
Jul 9, 2012 at 2:55 UTC
If you have it set to allow LAN it should work, but if the IP address ranges are the same it's going to try to connect over the VPN.
according to the Interwebs, a fios router has a default range of 192.168.1.x, so this could be the issue IF your VPN range is the same.

Thanks for all the replies. This is why I love this community!
Turns out there were multiple issues. For some users, it was as simple as checking the check box. I only tried it on 2 of the users, and it worked for some others. For others, it was a printer limit within the VPN. They had DOZENS of printers showing up from the other company and shared, so we cleaned those out and fixed that for some.
Still others needed to have the offending printer reinstalled. Now everyone's back up. It didn't help that the company we remote into changed some settings, and it just happened to coincide with out move.
Special shoutout to Birdman! He lent his expertise after I tracked him down and inboxed him. Thank you very much! People like you are the reason this community thrives!

Hello friends, you watch the videos on the channel ANDROIDISHE reviews.
Today, we look at all the adventures of the famous ninja turtles in a wonderful arcade game: ROOFTOP RUN.
The team nickelodeon natsonets-you did a version for Android, I think for you will not be surprised that she was IOS dostvpna in April of this year.
Nevertheless, she came out and we try to figure out whether to spend 130 rubles.
So, the game has a side view, but the graphics are still the whole volume, so it's not smushaet.
On the dark streets of offers to play for Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey.
Your task is to collect glowing orbs that replenish your supply of life and energy. Pryshkov used to tap on the screen, the way you can do three jumps at once.
Also on the way you'll meet the villains who want to destroy them by clicking on the jump.
In the arsenal of weapons available to you a lot, which opens as the game progresses, it is possible to improve and update, as well as equipment turtle.
The developers promise a little Donati, but what's true or not you need to check and pass game.
Updates to the game should not be long in coming, at least as promised.
In general, a good all-runner with an arcade, but the price tag of 130 rubles is clearly too much, especially since the game is quickly bored.
What do you think about this game, leave your opinion in the comments. On this I have all, thanks for watching all the luck!

Word game
Word games are free, portable and suitable for children of all ages. Toddlers can name objects; pre-schoolers can find simple words beginning with a particular letter, and older children can take turns to name countries or animal beginning with each letter of the alphabet from A-Z. The options are endless, and it's easy to make up your own games to suit your child's abilities and interests.
Play ghost. The aim of this word game is not to make a woprd. The first player thinks of a word and says the first letter. Each player in turn adds another letter. They each must have a certain word in mind but cannot say what it is. The object of the game is to avoid being the person who actually makes a word. Other players can challenge if they don't believe that a suggested letter could feasibly follow. The first play to complete a word or lose a challenge loses that round.
This is the game that I always play when I photograph kids in the park. So they can have fun, play and laugh, that's how I photograph kids and family. Please take a moment to view all my photos on my website. Have you noticed that they are all smiling or laughing???

Raiti is an orange, shapeshifting alien who appears in the Dragon Ball Z anime.
Sometime before the Namek Saga, Raiti and his friend Zaacro ended stuck on Fake Namek. After Bulma, Gohan and Krillin landed on Fake Namek, Raiti and Zaacro disguised themselves as Namekians, hoping to get a chance to steal Kami's spaceship.
Raiti lead Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma on a false Dragon Ball quest. He comes with the Dragon Ball Gang for the Dragon Ball in the lake, the one in the cave (in the skull's mouth), and one in the lake of acid. Zaacro goes with them for the next three. Raiti's true form resembles Zaacro's, but Raiti is a bit shorter and his skin color is light red. After Raiti and Zaacro revealed their true intentions, Gohan and Krillin easily defeated Raiti and Zaacro and left them stranded.

I would appreciate any hints or tips in how to move up in my cake world by experimenting with flavors for cakes/cupcakes? Should I just start with my base yellow or chocolate cake recipe and add stuff and see how it turns out? I (unfortunately) do not have a culinary school background to understand the complex science behind it but I don't want that to stop me! Thanks
Welcome to CC. Go into the "Cake Ideas" forum on the first page there is a topic called "Help Gourmet Flavors" it's a big thread with over 340 pages; all your answers will be answered there.
This is a link I've used. So far I've tried White/yellow, chocolate, Kahlua and Strawberry cake. Next will be the red velvet and pink champagne.

Philadelphia The University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team moved up one spot in the National Soccer Coaches' Association of America (NSCAA) regional poll as they are now ranked fourth in the Middle Atlantic Region. The Quakers (4-2-0) are the highest-ranked Ivy League team in the region ahead of Princeton who is ranked fifth.
"Once again, it is great for our team's efforts to be recognized in the rankings," Head Coach Rudy Fuller said. "The Mid-Atlantic Region has a number of quality teams in it this year and we are certainly pleased to be considered one of the top teams, but we are well aware games are not won and lost based on rankings. We need to stay focused on the job at hand and that is trying to go on the road today and get a result against a talented and hungry Loyola team."
After being home for the last three contests, the Red and Blue are on the road for two, opening up against Loyola College (3-4-0, 1-0 MAAC) this afternoon in Baltimore, Md. The Greyhounds are the defending MAAC regular season champions.
"Loyola is a young, talented team that is particularly good playing at home. They have some very dangerous players in the attack that we will have to keep a close eye on," Fuller said. "It will be a huge challenge for us to go down there and get a result, but I know our team looks forward to playing in these types on environments and tackling these types of challenges. It should be an entertaining game to watch today."
The Quakers continue road play on Oct. 2 as they open the Ivy League portion of their schedule against Cornell.

Siding blown off medical services building in heavy winds downtown Chilliwack
An arctic outflow warning remains in effect for Chilliwack Tuesday as strong winds hit the city leading, in one case, to cladding on the top floor a four-storey medical services building downtown to blow off.
A Chilliwack Fire Department crew was on scene on Mary Street around noon attempting to secure the loose siding back to the building.
The building entrance remained taped off as workers moved in to fix the problem.
The cold, clear, windy weather in the Eastern Fraser Valley is expected to continue through to Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Environment Canada reported winds of 40 to 60 kilometres per hour (km/h), gusting to 80 km/h.
Overnight the forecast is for the wind to continue with a low of minus 9 C, minus 20 C with the wind chill.
More of the same is predicted for Wednesday with temperatures starting to rise by the weekend.

Okay here's the deal. There is this girl that I see twice a week at school. Her class is next to my class and starts at the same time. About 2 weeks ago I was walking to the Restroom when I saw her for the first time. She was sitting on the floor talking to a few of her classmates when our eyes met at the exact same time. She literally did a double take of me and we stared into each others eyes for a good 3-4 seconds as I was walking past her. On my way out of the restroom, walking back passed her I looked at her again, gave a little smile and she stared back at me and smiled. So two days later I came into our building early to see her and she was there, in the same spot. So I walked up to her and sat next to her and introduced myself. We made small talk, she smiled constantly and even acted a tad bit nervous. When I got up to leave because my class was going to start she gave me a big smile and said goodbye to me using my name. The next time I saw her I was unable to go sit with her because when she walked into the building it was 5 minutes before class and I was talking to two female classmates of mine about class . But while she was sitting in the hall I caught glancing over at me at least 5 times as if she was waiting or wondering if I was coming down to talk to her. So the next class (this past Tuesday) I figured I had the green light to ask for her # which I was going to do. So when I sit next to her she was talking to two of her classmates and she mentioned to one of them that she had a boyfriend. Sooo after that I kind of just got up and went to class. Question is.. It seems she has some interest in me and I obviously have some in her, but the question is.. Should I still attempt to get to know her when there is obviouis mutual attraction between us or leave it alone?
Should I persue a girl who has a boyfriend but is attracted/interested in me?
Update: BTW, it wasn't like the her classmate asked her out and she said she had a boyfriend to reject him. It was in conversation about a certain topic when she threw it out there to him.

MOSCOW, March 18 (Reuters) - Russia's top mobile-phone operator, MTS, said on Tuesday that U.S. financial regulators had asked for its cooperation in an investigation of the Uzbek telecoms market.
MTS said the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States had asked for "documents and information" related to its business in Uzbekistan, from which MTS was ousted in 2012. The SEC inquiry concerned "investigations into the activities of unaffiliated parties," MTS said.
International scrutiny of Uzbekistan has been growing, with the SEC investigating the operations of MTS's rival Vimpelcom and Sweden's TeliaSonera in the central Asian state. Swedish, Dutch and Swiss authorities are investigating alleged bribery and money laundering. The Swiss are also looking into Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of Uzbekistan's president.
U.S.-listed MTS declined to say whether it had provided the documents or planned to do so.
"This offer (to provide documents) is of a voluntary nature and concerns third parties' activities," said MTS's chief financial officer, Alexei Kornya.
The company saw its Uzbek subsidiary's assets confiscated and took a $1.1 billion write-off in 2012 after a local court revoked its operating licence. MTS called the case a "classic shakedown" of foreign investors.
Vimpelcom said last week it was being investigated by SEC and Dutch authorities, apparently over operations in Uzbekistan. It had warned about possible investigations in 2012, because of its relationship with Takilant Ltd.
Takilant, a Gibraltar-based company, figures in a inquiry by Swedish prosecutors into allegations of corruption related to TeliaSonera's purchase of a 3G licence in Uzbekistan in 2007. On Monday, TeliaSonera said the investigations had widened to include the U.S. Department of Justice and SEC.

Zhu Rong (Chinese: 祝融; Pinyin: Zhù Róng; pronounced: tʂu˥˩ʐʊ̃˧˥) is the Chinese god of fire and ruler of the southern hemisphere from pre-Qin dynasty mythology. He is depicted as a proud man clad in armor wielding a sword and riding on a large tiger. He was one of the gods that helped separate Heaven and Earth and set up Universal Order.
He is most famous for battling his own son Gong Gong, who was a water demon responsible for causing floods. When Zhu Rong heard that his son was attempting to seize the throne of Heaven, he went to stop him. The two of them battled for days across Heaven until both plummeted down to Earth. Finally Gong Gong was defeated and sulked away in shame while Zhu Rong returned to Heaven triumphant, after having won a great battle.

- Zhu Rong is included as a card in the Anachronism card game by TriKings.
- A pistol named the Zhu Rong v418 Chinese pistol which fires incendiary ammunition is found in the game Fallout 3.

Norwegian Breakaway - June 23-30, 2013: Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Review by jbcruisejunkie
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Breakaway - June 23-30, 2013
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
DINING: We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers (15 &13), so we mainly ate in the main dining rooms (Manhattan Club, Taste & Savor - included in fare) or at the Garden Café (buffet). Men must have slacks/pants to dine at the Manhattan Club. All 3 main dining areas had the same menu every night, with different specials each night. The Garden Café had a cafeteria feel to it, unlike RCL's Windjammer Buffet. RCL's buffet area had a nice intimate dining feel to it. The food in the Garden Café was nothing to write home about. Some food was labeled, but others were not. The drinking cups are so small that you should fill up two cups each time just to quench your thirst. And the coffee cups are tiny! Each night in the buffet area they had a carving station of Prime Rib/Roast Beef/Chicken. We all enjoyed the soft ice cream :) We did not try the specialty restaurants because we felt that we spent enough money for the cruise in itself. If it is one thing I did not like about Norwegian was the fact that you had to pay extra for specialty dining, Carlo's bakery and Gelato. On RCL you rarely had to pay extra for anything.
ENTERTAINMENT: Our teenagers enjoyed the Entourage (ages 13-17), curfew was 1:00am. They both met some new friends, which was nice. We paid extra for the Cirque show which was nice, dinner was included. It was nice for children, very colorful. The Rock of Ages show was ok, but NOT FOR CHILDREN! The comedian/magician Michael Finney was a nice man, but his show was like being at a 5 year old birthday party. The Second City improvisation show was not our cup of tea. The team was talented though.
POOL/ACTIVITIES: The main pool was very small and our teenagers were told by a staff member that they were not allowed in that pool. The SpongeBob play/pool area was cute, but my teenagers did not want to swim in that pool. It was crazy that NCL expected teenagers to swim with little ones. IMPORTANT: If you want a beach chair you better set your alarm clock for 6am, no joke. Don't leave just a towel on the chair because they will remove it eventually. People were getting nasty with other cruisers and with NCL staff. We found that the daily activities were lame. It was the same activities every day, with maybe four new things added daily. We feel that Julie, the Cruise Director, needs to do a better job.
SHORE EXCURSIONS: We did not do any shore excursions in Bermuda because we wanted to enjoy the beaches. The public transportation bus/ferry was very easy and convenient to use. Horseshoe Bay is a must see! Gorgeous! We did not like the public area of Elbow Beach. Snorkel Park, which is a short walk from the dock, was a nice beach to rent pedal boats, kayaks, jet skis, etc. There was a $5 fee to enter, free for 12 and under.
DISEMBARKMENT: We chose the 'walk-off' option, carry your own suitcases off the ship. It was very easy. We left the ship at 8:15am, went through customs, caught a cab to parking garage to pick up car, headed home (hour drive)...Door to door a total of two hours, awesome time! TIP: When you are trying to catch an elevator to disembark...take an elevator up, because all the elevators going down will be full!
We enjoyed our vacation to Bermuda, however we did not like the Norwegian Breakaway ship. We don't believe it was worth the amount of money that we paid and the service was not very good. We found that the majority of staff members were not very friendly or knowledgeable. We remain Royal Caribbean fans!
My husband compiled a like/very long dislike list comparing Norwegian Breakaway to Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas. Read at YOUR OWN RISK...lol
-Photos organized by code on card key and can be viewed on the touch screens for easy viewing and purchase.
-Excursions on touch screens in public areas displayed availability of shows during the week and can make reservations on the touch screen.
-Shower was a little larger than Royal.
-Large outdoor video screen, for music videos in adult club Spice H2O
-Very large indoor movie screen for movies and games (but not movie theater seating. Instead it was lobby style seating).
-Calendar for excursions and your booked events show on your TV in your room.
-Can download a phone app for messaging/calling from cell phone to cell phone while on the ship. $7.95 per person for the entire cruise (but it didn't always work).
-Rope course and water slides were fun.
-Cirque de Soleil Jungle Dreams started a little slow, but then got much better. Very small stage, but very personal. We sat right in front and watched the show while eating dinner.
-Paper towel dispenser/sign by exit door of public bathrooms reminded bathroom users to use a paper towel to open the restroom door when exiting.
-8-10 minute firework show one night on the ship.
-No lobster except for in a pasta dish
-Pillowcase odor on first night. Had to have pillows changed.
-Light on balcony of our cabin didn't work. Called first day and one or two other times. It didn't get fixed until Friday afternoon.
-No promenade with open space above. Very closed in feeling inside ship.
-Not fancy - carpeting vs marble on Royal
-Very small balcony. Only 3ft deep x approx 8 ft wide.
-Safe was locked when we first entered our cabin and took hours to get opened.
-Only two electrical outlets in entire room
-Small food places charge for everything. No cafe's like Royal with free food.
-Smell of cigarette smoke throughout ship
-Ice bar costs $20 per person
-Didn't have tables set up when boarded to purchase soda pkgs and get your thermos.
-soda package thermos was smaller than on Royal.
-Rock wall was very short in height and was rarely open. Only saw someone there once.
-Public bathrooms were very plain. Royal's were marble and elaborate.
-They had bathroom-like sinks at one of the cafe entrances which were very tacky looking.
-Not all the food was labeled in the Garden Cafe buffet.
-Staff wasn't there at cafe to greet you and remind you to sanitize your hands.
-Cafe busboys didn't ask to get you anything to drink and didn't strike up any conversations.
-Elevators small and dark vs Royal's window atrium elevators and difficult to hear bell when arrived.
-No towel animals left on bed first and last nights.
-Cabin attendant wasn't there to greet us or give us an intro to the cabin. He was rarely around.
-No chocolates left on our beds at night while other guests received them.
-Cabin attendant took our blanket away on second night.
-Cabin attendant mistakenly took our dummy card which keeps the lights and outlets powered while not in room.
-Cabin attendant (or someone else) left a used cup of punch on our counter in our room and he claimed he didn't do it.
-No paper/pen in cabin
-Room service doesn't allow beverage package sodas - costs extra if you want a soda even though we had a soda package
-Room service wait time was 1 hr at 11pm
-Fingerprints on sliding glass door and closet door on our cabin when we first arrived.
-Every time someone entered/exit cabin the door would SLAM loudly, and can hear voices from neighboring rooms.
-No ice sculptures. While I think royal had them every day.
-Only saw one melon sculpture. Royal had them every day.
-Available deck chairs very difficult to find.
-Had to make reservations for magic show, but it wasn't made clear during public address system announcements by the cruise director.
-Asked two people (guest svcs and someone in uniform) if Friday was the last night for pictures and they said there will be pictures Saturday. We then noticed the freestyle daily brochure they leave in your room nightly indicated that Friday was the last chance for pictures. Turned out they did take pictures on Saturday so there was mixed messages.
-Friends told is their Ultimate Drink Package has a $9 limit on dollar value of drinks. Anything over you pay the full amount, not the difference.
-no speaker switch in cabin to turn on/off the loudspeaker announcements you hear in the hallway.
-mini bar price menu was put in cabin on last day (Saturday) instead of first day.
-Internet service only worked a few days.
-ordered photo prints and flash drive but flash drive was missing one of ten pics. They redid it, but it still was missing. Had to do it a third time to get it right. However, they did credit me for the flash drive and give me a few extra prints for the inconvenience. Less

Cabin review: 10132
Cabin 10132: Small balcony. Heard cabin doors slamming very clearly and voices in the hallways and neighboring cabins. Also, heard neighbors flushing their toilets.
