Deer Mtn - upper NW Ridge
|[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
This is the upper portion of the NW Ridge route on Deer Mountain. This was taken appx halfway up the ridge. The route stays on or just right of the ridge crest and involves some short sections of Class 2+ scrambling. If you climb in the morning you will be heading directly for the sun, as a result most of my ascent images are washed out. Aug 26, 2007.

Numbers 30:8
8But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the LORD will forgive her.

Restaurants in Anguilla

The best meal we had in Anguilla was Veya, near Sandy Ground. (We also had great dinners at Deon's Overlook, The Barrel Stay, and Zara's.)
Report Abuse
Cap Juluca has opened Pimms with a new chef and Kemia has become "Spice" and George's is now "Blue." You can go on www.capjuluca.com and see the various menus and hours. They also have a bar in the main building now.
We also like to go to Veya for their tasting menu with wine pairings. Straw Hat has moved to Frangipani on Meads Bay. Cove Castles has a new chef and is good, especially if you want an intimate setting. Hibernia is always good if you are in the mood for something different and don't mind a drive up to Island Harbor. Picante on the West End is a fun place for a casual meal. There are so many good restaurants it's hard to narrow it down.
Report Abuse
Zara's is a must.
Report Abuse
Zara's was our favorite. Were there fancier restaurants and were they good,yes. But all in all we liked Zara's the best.
Report Abuse
We LOVED Cote Mer near Island Harbour, enjoyed Tasty's, and don't forget Le Bon Pain in the morning!!!
Report Abuse
It will be fun to see the "new"
Cap Juluca restaurants--so Pimms
should be a winner. Just got back a few weeks ago, and Barrel Stay was great. If you have not tried Veya it gets good reviews, the owners have done a lovely job with the food and decor. ALR one of these days I will have to try the tasting menu. Covecastles has an
intimate small dining room, and yes
the new chef is very good, great
When you are staying on the west end
I won't do the trip over to Island
Harbour at night--but I do enjoy Hibernia for lunch. Zara's does get
lots of raves! BTW we always have an excellent lunch at Cuisi. If you have not tried The Dune, as you know
its just up the beach from your hotel. Very nice lunch since Dale Carty (Tasty's) has taken over the kitchen. As ALR said there are many excellent choices.

Blanchard's is great. Also try Mangoes and Picante.

Just returned and agree with many suggestions--Blanchards, Cote Mer, Veya, Barrel Stay, Picante, Straw Hat and not mentioned Koal Keel--all great!

I just returned from Anguilla about a month ago, and in addition to the excellent recommendations above, I would also suggest Oliver's and Trattoria Tramonto. Have fun!

Love Trattoria Tramonto--
Has anyone been to Malliouhana's
restaurant lately. Its been a few years and I was thinking of trying
it again.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all of the great suggestions, going next week will report back.

Straw Hat is really good for breakfast/lunch/dinner right on the beach inside the Frangipani hotel. I noticed that many places on the island only open for dinner.
Oliver's is really nice and their oven baked stuffed chicken is supposed to be very good but you have to call 4 hours in advance in order to have it prepared.
On Fridays and Saturdays you can't miss B&D's barbecue with tables and chairs on someone's front yard up the street from Malliouhana just 8 dollars and delicious chicken/ ribs with rice, peas, french fries and pasta salad. One of the best ribs I've ever had.
Report Abuse
I will second some of these suggestions. We love:
Straw Hat
Barrel Stay
Wouldn't miss one of these for anything!
Report Abuse
Big Jims BBQ at Blowing point. Feed 3 for about $10. B&D's BBQ feed 2 for about $10. Pizza restaurant in North Hill. Feed 3 for about $15. Breakfast at the Malliahouna great view,feed 3 for about $75. If you live in a part of the U.S. that has really good Mexican restaurants then Picante would probably be a disappointment. If you don't have good Mex. restaurants in your area then Picante would probably be good. Also, stuff yourself on some reasonably priced ice cream at the ice cream store next the Ashly's supermarket in the valley. Feeds 3 for about $15. The view isn't great, can get a little crowded,wine list does not exist, and depending on your economics status and your desire to flash $100 bills, you will either feel better or worse for saving the $200 USD that you would have spent on dinner and one of the restaurants that most other people prefer.

Uncle Ernie's at Shoal Bay and the Roti Hut near the airport. *Grin*

No matter what you do, dive into the cracked coconut at Blanchard's. And eat dessert first. <Sigh.....>

Ditto on the cracked coconut at Blanchards. We get it to go and top off the cheap meals listed above. When people asked us where we had dinner last night we just say "we dropped in to Blanchards"

ok, just returned from Anguilla, so wanted to give you an update on my 5 star restaurant review that I posted earlier on May 30. All meals are including any tip and drinks.
1. Fed 3 for breakfast at the Malli-$90.85. Still a great view.
2. Fed 5 at B&D's for $50. These were their dinners for $8-$9 each and we asked for extra stuff including the johnny cakes.
3. Fed 5 at Big Jims BBQ for $24.
4. Fed 3 at Roys for around $95
5. Fed 2 at the Straw Hat for $80
6. Fed 5 at the ice cream store next to Ashleys for $15
7. Fed 3 the Pizza at Corner Bar for $14.
8. Fed 5 at Un Amore for $90
9. Fed 3 the burgers(yum!) at Ferry Boat Inn for $46.
10. Fed 3 for breakfast at Geraurds for $35.

13. Fed 3 Rotissiere chicken from Proctors for $10
14. Fed 9 burgers on the beach $12(only supplied the meat)
Sorry, nothing too glamorous to report. I think we once asked if the Ting was from the vineyards of St. Kitts or Jamaica, and if it was bottled last week or the week before. Oh, forgot to add, we fell in love with the 5L bottles of water from Alberts. Whew!! I am stuffed!

How far in advance do you need to make reservations at some of these places? We're going in late-July early-August.
For example, we're staying at Cap Juluca. Any problem making reservations at Pimms once we arrive?

Veya is closing August 1 for a few weeks and Trattoria is also closing near the end of July so if they're on your list, don't wait.

Jaydreb: As far as my list goes, I would make reservations about 30 seconds in advance just by saying "are you open"? At the ice cream store sometimes you just knock on the door if they forget to flip their "closed" sign to read "open". As far as the others, I don't really know anything about them. Sorry.

In the latter half of 2007, one of Houston's most revered venues re-opened its doors once again. Considered by many to be the city's best entertainment location for live performances, the H Town Arena Theater closed its doors approximately 4 years ago after 30-plus years of presenting quality attractions. When walking the hallway of the Arena, there are numerous pictures of luminaries on the walls that have graced the stage of the Arena. The list reads like a \"Who's Who of Entertainmen
In the latter half of 2007, one of Houston's most revered venues re-opened its doors once again. Considered by many to be the city's best entertainment location for live performances, the H Town Arena Theater closed its doors approximately 4 years ago after 30-plus years of presenting quality attractions. When walking the hallway of the Arena, there are numerous pictures of luminaries on the walls that have graced the stage of the Arena. The list reads like a \"Who's Who of Entertainment.\" Among the many stars that have performed at the venue include The Manhattan Transfer, Al Jarreau, George Benson, The O'Jays, Diana Ross, Steve Martin, David Sanborn, Kenny Rogers, Bill Cosby, Gallagherand a host of other stars of comedy and music.
What makes the Arena Theater such a perfect venue for live entertainment is the dome-shaped circular architecture of the building and a revolving stage that allows for excellent viewing no matter where patrons are seated. One of the more prolific aspects of the building has been the presentation of live jazz music in an intimate setting. That has allowed aficionados and connoisseurs to experience their favorite artists up close and personally. On the night of April 19th that was the case when Pieces of a Dream, Najee and Roy Ayers brought jazz back to the H Town Arena Theater.
As mentioned previously, the Arena Theater is a great venue for live entertainment; as such, when Pieces of a Dream hit the stage after the opening act's performance, jazz in a wonderful array of flavors highlighted the night for those in attendance. Anchored by drummer Curtis Harmon and keyboardist James Lloyd, Pieces of a Dream is one of jazz's most notable groups. Since their debut in 1976, the group has wowed audiences throughout the world with their funk-laden soulful approach to jazz. Considered by many to be one of jazz's most significant artists, their appearance in Houston helped to re-establish a lost musical bond that was once part of a rich and vibrant heritage.
In an environment dominated by smooth jazz radio and generic sounding artists, Pieces of a Dream has managed to maintain a presence in spite of current trends. Their musical adaptations and presentations on the night of April 19th called up a legacy of entertainment that the audience could relate to. The funk and circumstance of their music pushed the patrons of the Arena to ecstasies beyond unimaginable expectations, while opening the door to an enthusiastic response from the near capacity crowd of 2000. For the first time in many years of deprivation, the entertainment value of jazz was showcased. The melding of three distinctively different styles of musical entertainment that was underscored by an often under appreciated genre was a major hit in Houston. Pieces of a Dream proved that they provide a much-needed presence in jazz while paving the way for Najee, the second noteworthy presence of the Arena's Spring Jazz Series.
As a former member of Chaka Khan's band, saxophonist Jerome Najee Rasheed first arrived on the scene as a solo jazz musician with the release of 'Najee's Theme' in 1988. Since then, he has released 12 albums and either performed or recorded with numerous R&B and jazz artists. Riding high on his latest CD entitled 'Rising Sun', Najee also provided much needed relief from the jazz drought that has engulfed Houston in recent years. Seldom seen or heard over the airwaves of radio in the Space City, Najee has managed to maintain a level of popularity in spite of subversive benign neglect. On a national and international level he has received numerous accolades and awards as one of jazz's most dynamic artists. The scheduling of his performance was also received with much anticipation.
Dressed in an attire of a white suit, shirt and shoes, Najee performed many of his classic songs as well as selections from 'Rising Sun'. Although his music had a noticeably different texture than that of Pieces of a Dream, Najee provided his own unique spin on jazz of a different flavor. One of his highlights was an appearance by keyboardist James Lloyd who coincidently appears on 'Rising Sun.' Together Lloyd and Najee spun a funk attack that forced the audience to rise in heralded adulation. As Lloyd left the stage, Najee continued to hammer on the notion that jazz is truly America's music. In fact, he proved to those already in the know and the ones not so knowledgeable that he has a definite presence that is enlightening and entertaining. As a saxophonist, Najee's music was fundamentally melodic and soulfully enticing. But even with Pieces of a Dream and Najee as jazz guides and ramrods the evening remained incomplete as the way was made for vibraphonist extraordinaire-the venerable Roy Ayers.
Anyone within earshot of \"Everybody Loves The Sunshine\" and \"Searchin'\" will recognize the talented skills of Mr. Roy Ayers. Having graced the music scene for more than 40 years, Ayers has moved us with a groove theory that was first originated by the legendary Lionel Hampton. No other artist in jazz history epitomized the vibraphone as a jazz instrument as did Hampton. In fact, that has been Roy's primary source of inspiration from the very onset of his career. During his performance, homage was paid to Hampton and all of the individuals who have served as ambassadors to the world, while taking the message according to jazz to the far-flung reaches of the globe. In an oratory of reverence, Roy also spoke of the importance of jazz as a form of entertainment and its relevance as an art form.
Although Roy Ayers has performed in Houston numerous times, he continues to be one of the city's favorite artists. With an unprecedented display of jazz and R&B grooves, Ayers' stage presence was enthralling. As a funk-meister, he was at the top of his game with a variety of tunes that mesmerized the audience with vibraphonic influences. As a form of entertainment, Roy Ayers proved why he is the consummate performer and at 67 years young his energy level was beyond belief as well. As a showman, Ayers' performances may be viewed as old school due to the all- encompassing nature of his act. What was seen and heard was a multifaceted array of vocals, solos and musical interactions that have been honed as systemic elements of high value targets of entertainment. With the crowd as judges, his performance added credence to the idea of jazz being a definite staple for music lovers.
Historically speaking the H Town Arena is the last of a long line of hallowed Houston venues. Gone are the Music Hall, Ebony Ballroom, Club Supreme, Rockefellers, La Bastille, Cody's, Tower Theater, Club La Veek and Liberty Hall, all of which served as an oasis in the dark of night for jazz and other forms of live entertainment. Without a doubt, the return of the H Town Arena Theater was greeted with a welcomed sense of jubilation, especially so with the inclusion of Pieces of a Dream, Najee and Roy Ayers. Collectively, these three acts laid the foundation for a much anticipated future, whereby jazz aficionados and connoisseurs are expected to have an intimate environment where jazz can be enjoyed in an up close and personal environment. If April 19th was any indication of what can be expected in the future, jazz will once again have a viable presence as a form of entertainment in Houston.
Thinking outside the box when the subject of jazz is discussed has become increasingly difficult during the last 20 years, especially so when examining the genre as an American art form. What has transpired in that amount of time has been a transitory attitude having little if any historical significance. In Houston, Texas, Da Camera of Houston an arts organization goes to great lengths to insure that jazz is highlighted as a form of artistic impressionism. For more than fourteen years
A major milestone has been achieved by KHJZ 95.7 "The Wave" in Houston, Texas. The radio station celebrated five successful years of smooth jazz programming with a concert entitled "Wave Day 5" featuring Fourplay, Boney James, Roberta Flack, Michael McDonald and Houston's own saxophonist Dean James. In that amount of time, KHJZ has annually celebrated their success with a multi-faceted array of stellar musicians in a live setting
If the opportunity to experience the ultimate concert appearance has never availed itself, then "Guitars & Saxes' is a performance that has to be seen as a point of reference. Of all the so-called super bands performing today, "Guitars & Saxes" is a musical franchise of sorts; considering the fact that the concert is one of the most consistent and widely known acts around today. Since 1995, this finely tuned smooth jazz machine has toured Canada, England and the United S
During the summer of 2007, the City of Houston was inundated with numerous rainstorms and a severe tropical depression, all of which culminated into some exceedingly unusual weather during a time of the year when it hardly if ever rains. For more than 45 days, Houston had experienced unprecedented flooding and undue hardship that was weather based. But on August 17th, a storm of a different sort blew through Houston and this time out it was a good thing. What was just as profound was this was

After running for more than1,300 yards last season, Cordova (Tenn) St. Benedict running back Jordan Wilkins has set a significantly higher target for 2011.
"I want to rush for 2,000 yards," he said.
So far, the talented junior is off to a good start.
Article Continues Below
In Week 1, he rushed for 159 yards on 10 carries. In Week 2, he added 237 yards on 26 attempts. Additionally, Wilkins has scored seven touchdowns.
"I'm a lot better this year," Wilkins said. "I'm more physical. And I hit the hole a lot harder."
Right now, the 6-feet-1, 193-pound Wilkins claims offers from Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee. The Bulldogs became the most recent to pull the trigger, doing so earlier this week.
In addition to the offers, Wilkins said he has heard from Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Louisville, Notre Dame, Oregon, Purdue, South Carolina, Stanford and Wisconsin.
Asked who was recruiting him hardest, Wilkins replied, "Probably Ole Miss and Mississippi State."
Wilkins visited the Rebels last weekend and caught their season opener against BYU.
"I liked it," he said. "They lost but I'm pretty comfortable over there. I've been there like four times."
Wilkins camped at Ole Miss in July. That day, he told Rivals.com he thought about committing on the spot. Although he's still very high on the Rebels, he now doesn't appear close to making a decision.
"Right now, there's no leader," Wilkins said. "I'm looking at all my options."

DURING the Easter Holidays, fifty two children and young people from Barry enjoyed two separate three day Easter camps.
These camps led by Barry Communities First in partnership with Vale of Glamorgan Sports Development took place at Oak Field and Cadoxton Primary School.
Focusing on healthy living and increasing participation in exercise each child and young person took part in a range of sports from rugby to street dance, as well as attending the Amelia Trust Farm where they were able to learn about food production and animal care.
Adele, community wellbeing coach for Barry Communities First, said: "It was great to see so many children having such a positive attitude towards physical activity especially those who don't regularly participate in sports clubs.
The feedback was great from the Amelia trust farm visits too, they especially liked retrieving the eggs from the hen coop."
For more information on projects, events or activities visit www.BarryCommunitiesFirst.org or ring 01446 709432.

Liverpool under-21s boss Michael Beale blasted his players after defeat to Sunderland and admitted: "We got exactly what we deserved."
The young Reds, for whom Divock Origi featured for more than an hour, failed in their attempt to secure a third successive win when they slumped 2-0 to Sunderland at the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium in Chester.
Goals from Mikael Mandron and Carl Lawson in the second half were enough to take the visitors top of the U21s league.
And an unhappy Beale said: "We got exactly what we deserved. There were a few things I'm not willing to accept today.
"We didn't take one thing that we'd worked on in the week into the game.
"This is probably the weakest performance I've seen from a Liverpool under-21 side for a long, long time.
"It's a wake-up call for them. Because they've played at a higher level now they're there to be shot at. We didn't show our level."
In the early stages of the game, the closest efforts for the the home side – who had defender Lloyd Jones make his comeback from long-term injury – came directly from free-kicks with Joao Carlos Teixeira and Ryan Kent trying their luck, but both were off target.
The better chances fell to Sunderland, with George Honeyman heavily involved.
Honeyman tried his luck from 20 yards out but his effort was straight at Danny Ward.
Shortly afterwards, he got the better of Joe Maguire after an awkward bouncing ball beat the Reds defender but the Sunderland number 10 mishit his shot and fired over.
Teixeira went close for the Reds in the 19th minute when he came infield from the left side but his deflected effort was saved by James Talbot.
The visitors started the second half strongly and took the lead on 53 minutes.

Rees Greenwood delivered a ball into the Reds' penalty area from the left and it was converted by Mandron, despite suggestions from an angry Ward that a hand may have been used.
Greenwood nearly doubled Sunderland's lead with a left-footed strike blocked by Jones.
Jerome Sinclair replaced Origi shortly after the hour mark, but seven minutes later Sunderland went further ahead with a well-worked goal.
Lawson calmly put the ball past Ward after Greenwood switched from the left side to create the opening.

Recognizing a growing trend, last month, CCH announced a new product, Prosystem fx Outsource, which utilizes trained tax preparers to help U.S. CPA firms by utilizing offshore, lower cost professionals to prepare tax returns. The idea is to help reduce or eliminate the tax season staffing spikes in most CPA firms by presenting a proven outsourcing alternative.
Another service provider, Outsource Partners International (OPI), announced this week that Rucci, Bardaro & Barrett, pc (RBB), a 25-person firm north of Boston, has decided to leverage OPI's offshore processing center in India for processing up to 70% of its Tax Returns. RBB, which had outsourced to OPI a pilot run were extremely satisfied with the quality of services provided, as well as the tremendous advantages and benefits that it has derived.
The benefits of offshore tax return services are clear, resulting in a much lower per-unit cost for tax preparation. But as the incidents of offshore outsourcing become more frequent, clients will have to better manage the business risks that arise from working with a service provider half a world away. A great resource for any potential client of an offshore business provider is law firm Fenwick & West's Key Service Agreement Issues: Service Providers Checklist, which outlines fifteen main areas of a service agreement that need to be clarified to lower any associated risks.

According to the statement:

Peasant Agriculture and Economic Growth: The Case of Southeast Europe c. 1870-1940 reinterpreted
Still in recent research a low productive peasant economy and traditional peasant society are often made responsible for Southeast Europe's economic backwardness prior to 1945. However, the radical change of paradigm after 1960 in the view of peasants as agents of economic growth and of their ability to adjust to markets has surprisingly never been realized in economic history research on the Balkan-states (Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Greece). Interpreting agricultural development as a mainly demand-driven process this paper argues that the potential for agricultural growth was much more restricted in Southeast than in Northwest Europe but Balkan peasants seem to have exploited their growth potential as far as possible. There is a lot of evidence that the reasons for sluggish growth before 1940 were definitely not rooted in any 'peasant traditionalism' as often claimed by Balkan elites and many scholars.

Shopping on line was so easy. The order form was self explanatory. Then my order arrived quickly in perfect condition. Very pleased with the two sweaters I ordered for my daughter. I can hardly wait to see her wearing them. Thanks for the excellent service.

armstead Milk Processing, an April short course conducted in the College's Department of Food Science, attracted 27 participants. The two-day workshop was directed at North Carolinians interested in farmstead milk production and processing, to teach them the basic concepts of business set-up, sanitation and milk quality.
The training and technical assistance sessions were funded in part by a grant from Golden LEAF as a means of developing value-added products and income for the state's small cow dairies and dairy goat farmers.
"Farmstead" cheese products are those made on a producer's own farm from milk produced on that farm.
Farmstead cheese making can be an option for farmers to add value to their dairy operations and as an alternative commodity in tobacco-growing counties.
Dr. MaryAnne Drake, associate professor of food science, co-organized and conducted the course with Gary Cartwright, Food Science Department pilot plant coordinator, with instructors from both N.C. State and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
According to Drake, 100 percent of the attendees were from North Carolina, with 22 counties represented — 15 of which are counties classified as "economically distressed and tobacco-dependent."

Weve got two more, says coach Nick Kohler as he resets his stopwatch in the parking lot of Joe Rowell Park last Thursday afternoon. A group of five young runners stand around him red faced and ready for another lap, half of practice still left. One runner has scraped her knee and is paying no attention to it.
This is the first year for Dolores cross-country. The team is lead by Nick Kohler who has coached Dolores track for ten years.
Ive been pushing for a cross country team for some time now, says the coach, its distance that we need.
For years, the springtime track team has received high praise for their regional performance, a formidable presence for a small school that has time and again inspired the press phrase, Who could forget about Dolores?
And yet it has been the distance events where the team has struggled most, distance that Kohler is building with his runners this fall.
They are a small team with a big mix of ages: five from the high school, three from the middle school, eight in total. Despite the wide age gap, the team trains together, Kohler sends the younger kids running one direction on the course and the older in another.Theyre a tight knit crew, especially when sharing a bus with their rival team Mancos on their way to out of town meets.
Middle schooler Cayley Odell recounts this peculiar carpooling situation saying, Were up in the front of the bus laughing and being loud and they just stare at us.
She draws a good laugh out of the rest of the group. Its clear their sense of competition suffers little.
Last Saturday the gravel roads to Chicken Creek were side lined with yellow school buses and parents cars parked two wheels ditched and leaning. Dolores runs in a red jersey. Mixed in with the others, they placed well, rounding the pond on the final bend to the finish and the cheering crowd.
The middle school runners Cayley Odell, Lyndrth Belt, and Breanne Maxwell placed 9th, 24th and 34th of 56 runners in the 1.5 mile race, all of whom improved on their previous times. High schoolers Kayla Charles, Regan Umberger, and Ben Baker placed 2nd, 4th, and 20th in their respective races.
Already in midseason, Kohler is seeing steady improvement. In fact a few of the runners are well on their way towards qualifying for state.
They just keep getting better and better, says Kohler, its a great start in establishing our distance program.
He feels confident in the future of the team, expecting a larger turnout in the years to come.
Their next meet is this Saturday in Cortez at 9 a.m.

Audioaccess is demonstrating its groundbreaking W.H.E.N.™ (Whole-House Entertainment Network) system, and a broad variety of custom-installation products and systems at EHX Fall 2006.
15 November 2006
WOODBURY, NY - Audioaccess, a leading provider of advanced whole -house audio/video solutions, is showcasing a broad variety of custom -installation products and systems at EHX Fall 2006. The company is demonstrating its groundbreaking W.H.E.N.™ (Whole -House Entertainment Network) system, and featuring its CS -IP Control Server, which allows a computer, PDA or other Web -enabled device to operate an Audioaccess whole -house installation, and exhibiting a host of additional innovative products.
Chris Robinson, Audioaccess director of sales and marketing, pointed out: "Audioaccess is one of the founding companies of the custom -installation industry, with nearly 20 years of experience in the design and installation of whole -house audio/video solutions. As such, we are uniquely qualified to meet the application -specific needs of customers and systems integrators."
Robinson continued, "Audioaccess was created to offer multiroom solutions that provide unmatched performance, versatility and value - and above all, total ease of use. From our beginnings as a supplier of high -quality whole -house music systems, our lineup has evolved to accommodate an ever -greater range of multiroom audio/video, monitoring and communications requirements, and to seamlessly interface with the widest variety of home entertainment components. Our W.H.E.N. system and the products showcased in our EHX Fall 2006 exhibit exemplify our commitment to innovation as never before."
Following are highlights of the Audioaccess exhibit at the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA, Booth 435 (November 15 - 17, 2006).
W.H.E.N.: Designed for Ultimate Performance and Multiroom Flexibility With iPod Connectivity
W.H.E.N. is an integrated home theater, multiroom audio/video, and in -home communications system for custom residential installations that is easy and fun to use, and offers exceptional performance and versatility. It also features two -way iPod® connectivity when used with the Audioaccess aDock™ iPod docking station and multiroom -audio interface.
W.H.E.N. offers an entirely new approach to home theater and multiroom audio/video entertainment. It incorporates innovative technologies to deliver superlative sound and picture quality to both the home theater and remote room locations in the home. The system also offers whole -house paging and intercom functions, with audio and video monitoring capabilities that are all easy to implement using the W.H.E.N. on -screen programming system, and don't require the use of a PC.
W.H.E.N. system components include the AVR21EN Audio/Video Receiver/System Controller, the AVH21 Multiroom Hub with WPS21 Power Supply Hub, the KP21 Amplified Display Keypad, and a full range of high -performance in -wall and in -ceiling loudspeakers. W.H.E.N. is modular and expandable. A base system accommodates the main home theater system and up to eight remote zones; additional hubs and power supplies can be added to expand signal distribution to up to 20 rooms.
The AVR21EN is the first audio/video receiver to combine a high -performance 7.1 -channel A/V receiver with a multiroom system controller in a single chassis. It offers high -end audio and video performance, in addition to sophisticated two -way and IR source -control functions. The AVR21EN offers extensive features in the home theater zone, including built -in DCDi® by Faroudja video scaling and processing to 1080i; two AM/FM tuners; an Auto EQ function that automatically calibrates the loudspeakers in the main home theater room; and much more.
Audio, video and control signals are fed from the AVR21EN to the AVH21 Multiroom Hub, and distributed from the AVH21 to KP21 Amplified Display Keypads located in the remote zones using a proprietary digital -signal transfer bus that simplifies system wiring and installation and enables sophisticated signal -distribution and control capabilities.
W.H.E.N. offers three operating modes: Entertainment, Paging and Monitoring. In Entertainment mode, it can distribute uncompressed audio and composite video from up to eight audio/video source components simultaneously, from the main home entertainment room to remote locations. The KP21 keypad provides control and selection of remote -zone sources, and monitoring, paging and other functions. The KP21 features a built -in 50 -watt -per -channel stereo amplifier to power remote -zone loudspeakers, and each keypad can also be connected to an amplifier or powered subwoofer and an additional local source in its local zone.
In Monitor mode, W.H.E.N. routes signals from video cameras throughout the home to connected video -display devices, and audio from the KP21 keypads' built -in microphones. The system can also operate electronically triggered door locks. Paging mode enables W.H.E.N. to function as a multiroom paging and whole -house intercom system.
Suggested retail pricing ranges from approximately $4,000 for a base home theater and two remote audio zones system to more than $20,000 for a large -scale system comprising a main home theater and 20 remote room locations. The AVR21EN Audio/Video Receiver/System Controller is also available separately at a suggested retail price of $2,199.
Audioaccess aDock iPod Docking Station: Whole -House iPod Connectivity
The Audioaccess aDock iPod docking station allows a compatible iPod to interface with the W.H.E.N. system. It enables the iPod to play music and video in any room in the system, and provides two -way operation of iPod audio -only functions from a KP21 keypad located in a remote zone, with data from the iPod translated and displayed on the keypad. The iPod is also powered from the aDock.
The aDock can also be used with the Audioaccess PX -700 Multiroom Audio Controller, a multiroom audio component that offers flexible whole -house music -distribution capabilities and exceptional sonic performance. The aDock connects to the PX -700 via either the Audioaccess CATC/2WSI Two -Way Serial Interface or the new CS -IP Audioaccess Control Server, and enables two -way operation of iPod audio functions from a Color Audioaccess Touchscreen Controller (CATC), located in a remote zone, or from a Web -enabled device. The aDock can be used with all compatible iPod models featuring a docking connector.
The Audioaccess aDock is currently available at a suggested retail price of $499.
CS -IP Control Server: Total System Control From Computers and Web -Based Devices
The CS -IP Audioaccess Control Server is a two -way interface module that connects to an Audioaccess PX -700 -based whole -house audio system and provides an IP (Internet protocol) address and a user -control display to a PC or other wired or wireless Web -enabled device. This connectivity allows a PX -700 -based system to be controlled by a desktop or notebook computer, or other compatible products such as a PDA, Internet tablet or even a cell phone. As noted, the CS -IP also enables integrated iPod multiroom operation when the iPod is connected using the aDock.
The CS -IP connects to an Audioaccess PX -700 and another home device (such as a hard -disk server) using Ethernet -based wired/wireless routers and hardware, and serial -to -Ethernet adapters where required to connect home devices using a serial interface. The software residing in the CS -IP interprets the operational commands and menus from the Audioaccess PX -700, the home devices in the whole -house system and an iPod, and displays a user control interface on the computer, PDA or other Web -enabled product that is used to operate the system.
The open -ended architecture of the CS -IP allows it to accommodate future products and systems as they are introduced. The CS -IP also interfaces with a Color Audioaccess Touchscreen Controller for system control via the CATC, and multiple connected home devices can be operated simultaneously from multiple Web -enabled products and CATC's located throughout the home.
The CS -IP Audioaccess Control Server will be available in fall 2006 at a suggested retail price to be announced.

2005 Lexus LX470 Recall Details
The side curtain air bags that protect occupants in a crash may deploy unexpectedly when not needed. This can increase risk of occupant injury.
Recalls on your Lexus or Toyota must be performed by the respective Lexus or Toyota dealership. Toyota will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning in April, 2016. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Lexus or Toyota dealerships. They will also check for any other uncompleted recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with.
In the event of severe impact to the front wheels, a snap ring on the steering shaft could become disengaged. If this occurs, over time the steering shaft may become disconnected, resulting in loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
This should be considered a high priority recall. Loss of steering could occur without warning. Please contact your Lexus dealer. They will check to see if your specific vehicle is affected and advise you on what to do next. Always have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

March 12, 2001: Ask the Employer
Ask the Employer.
While reading over Marcia Merrill's informative Q&A with QuintZine, we were reminded of a terrific Web site, Ask the Employer, which was created in 1998 as an e-mentoring partnership site that serves as a forum in which a registered mentor and mentee can connect online to establish a partnership based on mutual career interests and abilities. E-mentoring is an interactive relationship between a mentor and mentee through the Internet, rather than traditional networking connections, such as a colleague at work. Experienced business professionals offer their talent and advice to those they counsel, based on matching data compiled from their registered professional profile posted on the Ask the Employer site.
Ask the Employer has grown to be a full-service content site for all aspects of career management and human resources, specializing in mentoring relationships and expert career advice. Ask the Employer also publishes a Career Finder's Guide e-newsletter that includes information on career advancement, resumes and cover letters, SOHOs, employment trends and news, mentoring relationships, and tips for succeeding at work, as well as human resource information for employers.

AppDomainSetup is a properties bag. It stores various properties that affects binding decision in an appdomain, as well as other decision as well. MSDN documents each properties in AppDomainSetup. But there are a few properties that are not well explained by MSDN. This post attempts to clear them up.
I only discuss properties affecting binding decision. For things I do not discuss please consult MSDN document.
1. DisallowPublisherPolicy
This is not to disallow publisher policy in this appdomain. Quite contrary, this is to disallow bypassing publisher policy. In application config file there is a tag <publisherPolicy apply="yes|no"/> . If this tag is in app config, and apply is no, publisher policy will not be applied for this application. And DisallowPublisherPolicy is to disable this tag.
2. PrivateBinPathProbe
The MSDN document is confusing. But the remark section describes its behavior correctly. It is actually a boolean value. If this is set, we will ignore the application base, and only probe the private bin path.
3. DynamicBase
I wonder how many people can figure out what DynamicBase is just from reading MSDN documentation. This is a feature we designed for ASP.NET scenario. In ASP.NET you can put the code in the .aspx file. At runtime ASP.NET runtime compiles the code once, and re-use the compiled bits in subsequent requests until the page changes. Now where do the compiled bits go? According to probing rule, they needs to be in ApplicationBase. Does it mean you will see random goo show up in your application directory if you embed code inside your .aspx pages? No. Because ASP.NET uses the DynamicBase properties. If both DynamicBase and ApplicationName are set, DynamicBase+ApplicationName constitutes a dynamic directory. Fusion will probe ApplicationBase, as well as the dynamic directory, even though the dynamic directory may not under ApplicationBase. ASP.NET sets the DynamicBase property, and put the compiled bits in the corresponding dynamic directory. Fusion picks up bits from there.
I'll leave it as an exercise for the readers to figure out what is the DynamicBase set by ASP.NET.
4. CachePath/ShadowCopyDirectories/ShadowCopyFiles
Please see my previous post "AppDomain and Shadow Copy"

An explosion and fire at a manufacturing plant outside Montreal seriously injured five people Thursday, police said.
At least 17 others were taken to the hospital, though none were hurt seriously, police said.
The blast at the Sherbrooke, Quebec facility led to the fire, which produced clouds of smoke that authorities feared was toxic, said police spokesman Rene Dubreuil.
Local fire chief Gaetan Drouin said there was at least one large explosion followed by a series of smaller explosions. Drouin said the initial explosion set a local record for emergency calls to authorities.
About 50 firefighters were on scene.
Dubreuil said five people were sent to hospital with severe burns. It was unclear if their injuries are life-threatening.
Drouin said all 65 employees had been accounted for. Employees were evacuated from the plant within minutes of the explosion, and supervisors did a head count outdoors.
The plant belonging to Neptune Technologies & Bioressources produces and exports health products.
Environment Quebec, a provincial government body, said the toxicity concern stemmed from the plant's 3.9 gallons (15,000-liter) acetone reserves, which were struck by the fire. Acetone is flammable and, when ingested, can cause irritation.
However, officials said they were more concerned about the possibility of soil or water contamination than the risk associated with breathing the air near the blast site.
Police said it's unclear what caused the blast. Thick black plumes were seen rising from the facility.

Updated Monday, Dec. 10 — Jamie Tropsa had his first win as new girls Wave Hockey coach, 1-0 vs. Guilford in game one of 2012-13 on Saturday night at home.
Ellie Bennett had the lone goal, Georgia Cassidy the assist.
In goal for the Wave, it was Izzy Scribano making three saves for the shutout.
Darien (1-0) scored in the second period, Bennett's goal was one of 47 shots on net.
The Wave goes on the road playing Amity at the Northford Ice Pavillion Tuesday night in game two.
Tropsa was assistant coach the past several years after assisting with the New Canaan High boys team and is a former Blue Wave boys team bench boss as well.
"We are good, but I'd say, very young," said Tropsa. "We only have one senior and not too many juniors, so our freshman class is outstanding."
It was a rematch with the team that eliminated the Wave from states in 2012.
"When we lost to Guilford in our last game of the year, we outplayed them, but we just didn't score," Tropsa said. "And this (time) we outplayed them again, and we could only score one."
But it was a nice one.
"Georgia Cassidy, one of our freshman, passed it over to Ellie Bennett, and she took a hell of a shot," added Tropsa. "Put it right over the girls' shoulder."
It was just tough, like the last time the teams met, to find a place over, under, sideways or down, to put the puck past the Guilford netminder.
"Their goalie was fabulous," said Tropsa. "I mean, we had a couple breakaways — she's a good little goalie."
Darien's influx of sharp freshman Tropsa has been coaching for a while now, starting with the Ice Cats youth program.
"They are doing a good job," he said.
Tropsa replaces Al Gurney, who coached the Wave to its first titles several years back.
"I feel bad, we obviously miss Al," Tropsa said. "He did a lot here and the girls miss him, I miss him. It's kind of a sad day for Darien girls' hockey.
"But the program is very, very strong and I can only imagine it's going to get better."
For Tropsa, taking over behind the bench is about as good as it gets.
"These girls are awesome," he said. "So it's great evey day to be going to practices — definitely a lot of fun."


text: Hohner B2AV-WS headless 5 String Modification Dear friends: I have acquired this Hohner bass with the plan to reconfigure it into a short-scale headless 5-string. The distance from the 2nd to the 14th fret is exactly 15 inches, which gives a perfect 30 scale. The plan, and reason Im doing this on relatively cheap but playable headless bass, is to saw off the neck just behind the 2nd fret. Then I will trim the head at the 0 fret, and shorten the neck by 3 3/4 (90 mm). The head can easily be glued and screwed back on, and with a string adaptor, Im in business. The problem is what to do about the truss rod. Im asking for any advice anybody might have about what is involved in shortening it. I havent done anything yet, but Im assuming that I can just remove it by unscrewing it, pulling it out of the neck, then figure out some way to shorten the rod and reinstall it. But I dont want to try to remove it and wind up damaging the neck. I dont want to get involved with removing the fingerboard if possible. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Health sector unions have advised their members not to cooperate with HSE management's attempt to force all staff to work the increased hours negotiated under the Haddington Road Agreement.
In a letter to managers yesterday, HSE Director of Human Resources Barry O'Brien urged them to squeeze every possible saving from the HRA before considering cutting services.
Under the agreement, staff who did not want to work the increased hours were permitted to retain their existing hours with a pro rata pay cut.
However, Mr O'Brien's letter states that what he calls the "concession" allowing staff to retain their existing hours is no longer viable.
He said that from 1 January, all staff must work the increased hours set out in the HRA.
Chair of the staff panel of the health sector unions Phil Ní Sheaghdha has written to the chair of the HRA oversight group Kevin Foley asking that the oversight group be convened immediately to deal with the issue.
She described the situation as a direct breach of the agreement.
In her letter, she tells Mr Foley that the health sector unions will advise their collective membership that they are not required to co-operate with the instruction from the HSE.
Mr O'Brien's letter to managers also confirms that there will be a targeted voluntary redundancy scheme available from 1 January.
Hoever, the document does not specify the number or redundancies sought.
SIPTU has sought an urgent meeting with the HSE to discuss the redundancy scheme.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, SIPTU Health Division Organiser Paul Bell said there is an urgent need to clarify what the HSE means by "targeted" redundancies.
He said the union will not accept if health services its members provide are compromised as a result of this action.
"The question is what is targeted, and because of the nature of the communication, employees of the HSE and voluntary hospitals had no understanding that such a communication was going to be issued.
"I suppose if we had discussions with the HSE and Department of Health up to this point we would have understood what they meant.
"But what we're not prepared to accept is that health services that we offer are going to be in any way compromised," Mr Bell said.

Well, yes I do, but I can't substantiate it scientifically at this time.
I've been in correspondence with Alan (I assume you meant Milliken) for
some years, and I believe I have established that the Amuliganes
(McRath, Millikin, Mulligan etc) are related to the Griersons. Alan
pointed out a while ago that the c1400 charter transferring some land
between a McRath and a Grierson uses the latin term "consanguineo"
meaning "of the same blood, related by blood, kindred", and this led me
down that particular track, ie to find common off-modal markers across
the area.
I'm trying to establish as fact that M222 predates Niall, and I'm
further guessing that it is a French or Iberian outcome, not an Irish
one. My guess is that there were separate migrations from mainland
Europe. There is also the issue of whether there ever was a Dalriadic
migration Ireland to Scotland, because some have argued that the M222
came along on that occasion.
I'll send my paper about this to you if you wish.

Sitting inside the car, Charu's sobs finally subsided into hiccups. Then soon she drowsed off to sleep carefully placing her head on the back seat this time. But soon the car jerked a little and the sleeping girl again fell on the strong shoulder beside her.
But strangely this time Adi did not shrug her off. Separating from one's mother wasn't a comforting idea for him too. He involuntarily remembered a scene of a seven year old boy running and wailing behind his mother's dead body carried by few men.
'Don't take away my mom. Give her back to me. Stop' He closed his eyes tightly to restrain a tear ready to escape his deep brown eyes.
Then he glanced at the tear stained face of the girl on his shoulder. He frowned as the separating scene back at outside her house replayed in his mind. Not that he cared or so. It was just pity as he could connect her abandoned situation with his own years back.
How helpless and forlorn he had felt'
It was almost evening when the car stopped outside the huge mansion. Adi shrugged his shoulder lightly, "Get up."
Charu got up lazily rubbing her eyes like a kid. Adi watched her in amusement but soon burst into loud laughter when she removed her hand.
Charu frowned in her drowsy state "What is so funny?"
Adi chuckled badly and then suddenly pulled her towards him. Charu's heart raced crazily with a loud thud as he tucked her.
"What are you up to?" she cried out frantically, controlling her thudding heart.
But soon her eyes widened as he turned her towards the mirror in the front.
The kohl in her black eyes had spread all over her face when she had rubbed her tear stained eyes.
"Come on. Lets go." He said chuckling but Charu immediately held his hand before he could open the door.
"No. How can I? I am looking horrible?" she said genuinely horrified of her own image in the small mirror.
Adi smirked "Exactly. Let grandma see what a horrible ghost she has brought home." He said opening the door but with a little sense of guilt for not helping her, before he heard something.
"Ghost and me? And what is he? Devil." Charu muttered. Adi frowned and jumped out of the car, now with a clear conscience.
"What was taking so long Adi?" Sarojini asked as he came out and then added anxiously, "and why isn't Charu coming out?"
"See for yourself grandma. I am going?" Adi said stretching his hands and strode towards the main gate.
"Wait. Adi-", before Sarojini could stop her disregardful grandson, he had already disappeared inside the house. Shaking her head, Sarojini turned to the car. She opened the car door to find the bride rubbing her cheeks hastily with her dupatta. She smiled softly as Charu removed her dupatta and stared at her anxiously. Sarojini took one end of her saree to clean her face lovingly.
Encouraged by the loving act of the caring old lady Charu asked apprehensively, "Am I looking like a ghost?"
Stunned by the sudden irrelevant and weird query, the loving mother asked, "Ghost? Who called you that?" and the realizing who else could be so considerate to the innocent bride, she added assuring her, "Hmm. We'll deal with him later. But don't woory my child. You look like my perfect princess." Charu smiled sadly and came out of the car.
As the unconcerned groom had already settled in his room, many of the rituals had to be cancelled. Moreover Sarojini and Sanjay did not want to discomfort their young daughter-in-law. They asked her to rest and Sarojini took her to Adi's room.
Sarojini frowned looking at the boy's usual sleeping posture, carelessly occupying more than half of the bed. Asking the girl to wait for a second, she shifted her grandson making space and a fair share-out of the bed.
Sarojini smiled and left the room closing the door behind her.
Charu stood still, stuck to her place, with a pounding heart. How could she share the bed with a boy? She shivered at the thought. She looked around to find a couch in one corner of the room. But how could she sleep on a couch? Feeling too tired and sleepy, she glared at the boy sleeping peacefully on the huge comfortable bed. Had she got enough strength, she would have thrown him on the couch. The peaceful smile on his facing was adding fuel to the fire that was burning inside her. Devil'
Having no other choice, she made her mind to settle on the couch itself. She then wore a comfortable white and blue night suit and stretched on the couch. Within few minutes, she was in deep slumber.
"Ouch!" she cried out in pain caressing her elbow. She looked around trying to make sense of her new strange surroundings. Where was she? So she had fallen from this couch. But why was she sleeping on a couch? And whose room was this? She looked around to find a boy sleeping on the bed. And then she remembered with a thud of her frightened heart.
She turned on hearing a knock at the door. Opening the door she found Sanjay and Sarojini standing out with a fresh smile on their faces.
"Did you have good sleep Charu?" Sarojini asked lovingly. She nodded with a fake smile.
"Alright then get ready. Aren't you getting late for your college?" Sanjay said holding her a college bag. Charu looked blankly at the duo.
Perceiving the obvious question in her mind, Sanjay kept his hand on her head "I want you to continue your studies Charu. You are no less than Adi for me. Never hesitate to ask anything. I'll fulfill each and every dream of my daughter."
Touched by the affectionate words, the grateful girl smiled and this time genuinely, "Thank you uncle."
Sanjay cupped her angelic face in his hands and said raising his brows, "but on one condition. You'll call me papa."
The face in his hands lighted up with fresh tears in the big black twinkling eyes.
"Papa" she murmured in Sanjay's assuring arms. How much she wanted to call someone by that name. How she missed that feeling of hugging a loving father'
Sanjay himself could not control his tears at the heartfelt acceptance of his new daughter. He caressed her hairs lovingly when the duo heard complaining voice of the old grandmother.
"Got your papa, what about your grandma?" Sarojini pouted dramatically.
Charu smiled at the childish and wrinkled grandmother and said hugging her tightly, "Yes grandma. But you haven't forgotten your promise. Have you?"
Sarojini realized after a instant that she was hinting at her promise of dealing with his grandson. She smiled broadly and assured her, "Don't worry. Just let him wake up."
While two ladies giggled, Sanjay stood confused by the conspiratorial looks exchanged by them.
Both the elders silently admired the innocent giggle of the girl while for some strange reason Charu felt her aching heart soothe a little'

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – An 8-foot-long 1906 Rock Island Railroad reverse glass train sign brought $71,500 at an auction held Sept.30-Oct. 2 by Showtime Auction Services, at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds in Ann Arbor. It was a new auction record for an 8-foot Rock Island sign, more than doubling the previous record of $30,000. It was also the top lot of the sale.
If a Rock Island Railroad sign rings a bell, it's because another sign for the same railroad, also from around the turn of the century but of a different size and look, soared to $165,000 at Showtime's last big auction, held April 1-3, also in Ann Arbor. It was the most ever paid for an advertising sign, a record that still stands today. Both signs were housed in original gilt frames.
The sign (99 inches by 24 inches overall) was designed by the same maker of the Pullman Car chandeliers. It was given to the Western Sandblasting Company in Chicago, with a contract to produce 50 more. It is also quite possibly the only one with verbiage on the original frame and sign. It was considered highly desirable to collectors, with the train in the foreground.
The auction attracted around 250 people a day on the first two days and about 200 people on the last day. Internet bidding (facilitated by LiveAuctioneers and iCollector) was brisk, with nearly 1,500 online bidders (a record for Showtime). Phone and absente bids were also recorded. Overall, close to 2,000 lots changed hands in an auction that grossed $1.6 million.
"This was our biggest and best fall auction ever, no doubt," said Michael Eckles of Showtime Auction Services. "I was very pleased with the level of Internet bidding activity, which I know was driven by factors such as increased travel costs and the hassles of airport security. But the in-house crowd was great, too, and they really got into the spirit of the event."
Headlining the auction was the lifetime country store, advertising and toy collection of Mike and Colleen Empey. The sale also featured barber shop, coin-op, gambling, folk art, toys, banks, Coca-Cola and other soda, gum, candy, firearms and gunpowder, tobacciana, coffee, salesmen's samples, whiskey, breweriana, petroliana, automobilia, match safes and pedal cars.
Following are additional highlights from the sale (all prices quoted include a 10-percent buyer's premium for in-house sales or an 18-percent buyer's premium for Internet bidders):
• A circa-1880s Cigar Store Indian attributed to Thomas Brooks, 69 inches tall, in excellent condition, brought $49,500; a Yuengling's Beer reverse glass sign, made by the John L. Dawes Mfg. Co. (Pottsdown, Pa.), in near-mint condition, realized $43,125; and a Moose Beer reverse glass sign, made by Duluth & Malting Brewing Co. (Duluth, Minn.), near-mint, rose to $38,500.
• An extremely rare John Deere sand and wood one-sided sign, one of only two known and in excellent condition, breezed to $14,960; a rare oak six-foot double tower showcase with nickel corners (69 inches by 35 inches), in remarkable shape, climbed to $13,750; and a scarce Heinz Pickles string holder, near-mint and the best example ever offered by Showtime, made $12,100.
• A circa-1840s museum-quality Dutch child's sled, exquisitely hand-painted with swans and other birds and in excellent condition, with a beautiful patina, coasted to $12,100; an inlaid gold quartz match safe with multi-colored diamond pattern and engraved detail throughout went for $10,620; and an Oak Motor Oil two-sided 'lollipop' porcelain sign, near mint, made $10,350.
• An Alcazar cigar tin with exceptional graphics and color, made by the American Can Co., in mint condition, commanded $9,350; a Rodeo Coffee 5-pound pail with bale and "Let-R-Buck" image on both sides, made by the H.E. Starbrooks Co., Ltd. (Winnipeg, Man.), brought $7,150; and a Pratts Veterinary Remedies (Philadelphia) tin front store cabinet realized $6,900.
• A DeLaval Cream Separators self-framed tin sign made by H.D. Beach Co. (Coshocton, Ohio), 25 ¾ inches in diameter, hammered for $5,775; a hand-carved shotgun trade sign, 65 ½ inches long and in excellent condition, rose to $5,500; and an oak, nickel-cornered, curved glass showcase with original brass tag made by Excelsior Showcase Co. (Quincy, Ill.), fetched $4,950.
• A Swift Wing sand and painted wood trade sign, beautifully constructed and in superb condition (41 inches by 11 inches) garnered $4,675; a hanging apothecary show globe and original griffin bracket, with no chips or cracks (22 inches tall) finished at $4,675; and a Johnson Halter papier-mâché trade sign with the original manufacturer's label on back went for $4,400.
• A Sampson Bachrach Collar Button store display, with original brass tag and decals and collar button finial on top, brought $4,125; a Super Greyhound Motor Fuel porcelain sign, 58 inches by 34 inches, crossed the block for $4,125; a circa-1950s near-mint White Owl cigar tin made $3,025; and an R. O. Beitel jeweler's watch trade sign, 16 inches by 25 inches, hit $3,960.
• A scrimshaw ivory tusk, 8 inches in length and decorated with the images of three women, went to a determined bidder for $2,950; a Signal Gas round porcelain tin sign, 72 inches in diameter and in excellent condition, found a new owner for $2,200; and a Sharpleigh's Razor Blade store display case with product, wood and glass with original decals, finished at $1,210.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Clean Water for Haiti, Vancouver, WA, USA
I began working with Clean Water for Haiti because my wife started doing volunteer work for them after a trip to Haiti where she saw what they were doing. Because of my computer skills I ended up doing all kinds of computer-related tasks, Joining the board was just the next step for me. Why? One of multiple-choice questions here is "How much of an impact do you think this organization has?" and the best answer is "life-changing". The scale should be extended to "life-saving" for CWH. That's literally the impact. Too many water projects around the world are "one and done": dig a well, put in a pump, and declare a small victory, or worse, put in a complex, unsustainable system. CWH's approach recognizes what works better. It's not just that the water filters are an effective and appropriate technology. They know how to get the filters to people in a way that helps ensure they'll be used and maintained on an ongoing basis.

Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?

Interior secretaries of Pakistan and India will meet in New Delhi from March 28, the Foreign Office said on Thursday.
This is the first time that such high-level officials are going to meet since the breakdown of the peace dialogue after the Mumbai attacks.
"Following an agreement to resume full spectrum dialogue between Pakistan and India, the first meeting under the resumed process will be held on March 28-29 in the Indian capital," the spokesperson for the Foreign Office Tehmina Janjua told reporters at the press briefing.
She said that interior secretaries of both the countries would discuss counter-terrorism, narcotics control and humanitarian issues.
In response to a question, she said Pakistan has received a communication from India regarding the permission for allowing Pakistan's commission to India to probe Ajmal Kasab and Indian desire to question some of the culprits involved in 26/11 incident.
She said that the communication had been forwarded to the ministry of interior for a final decision, adding that the issue was related to that ministry. Talks are expected to cover security and terrorism-related issues, including the progress made in the trials of the Mumbai attacks and bomb attacks on Pakistan-bound train, the Samjhauta Express in India that killed dozens of people, mostly Pakistani nationals.
Chaudhry Qamar Zaman will represent Pakistan while the Indian side will represented by Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai during the two-day dialogue.
The spokesperson said that Tajik President Emomali Ramanov would pay a state visit to Pakistan on March 7-11 at the invitation of President Asif Ali Zardari.
The national security adviser of the United Kingdom is also expected to pay a visit to Pakistan on March 7-8 to exchange views on regional security situation.
The spokesman said the special US envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Mark Grossman would also visit Pakistan on March 6-7.
She said a meeting in connection with the strategic dialogue between Pakistan and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will be held in Dubai on March 8.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar has already left to lead Pakistan in the meeting of the OIC contact group being held in Jeddah.
She said Pakistan has always demanded of the United States to repatriate Dr Aafia Siddiqui in accordance with the wishes of Pakistani people and dictates of law and justice.

Enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean directly from the lanai in our large condo that sleeps up to four adults and 2 children. The Hawaiiana themed condo, located on the 4th floor, is great for families. The windward side of the island offers quiet beaches away from the hustle of Waikiki. Breezy trade winds cool the condo to keep the temperature in the 70's to 80's.
Punaluu is 20 minutes from Kaneohe and 45 minutes from Waikiki, Pearl Harbor and the airport. Drive to Kualoa Ranch, Turtle Bay, North Shore's Sunset Beach and Polynesian Cultural Center, shopping and horseback riding all within 10-20 minutes. You can start your day with a walk along the beach at sunrise, and watch the sunset from Sunset Beach.
A family or two couples can sleep comfortably in this condo. The bedroom sleeps two in the king size bed. The living room has two twin day beds (sleeps children only) and a full size futon. The condo has a upgraded kitchen with dishwasher and ceramic cook top oven. Washer and dryer are full size. Free wifi including poolside wifi, local calls and HDTV in the living room. Amenities include a pool, fitness center overlooking the ocean, BBQ, beach chairs, snorkel and beach gear and picnic area. Hawaii license W03218460-02
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great traveler experience.
Our family loved the place, location was perfect. Unit overlooked the ocean, breathtaking view! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing place to stay
The reason to give Cheryl's place a '4' instead of a '5' is mainly due to the exterior appearance of the building. It's an older, Hawaiian building, so don't go expecting it to look like the Ritz. Nothing on the east side of the island is glamorous or fancy. I was a little nervous as we pulled into the parking lot and initially saw the building.
Having said that, Cheryl's condo was terrific and quickly put us at ease. It was clean and the kitchen has been updated so it's quite comfortable. The only interior "issues" were some visible rust spots on the lighting fixture and washer/dryer due to the ocean breezes that flow through the condo (the breeze is awesome by the way!), and the dryer took a while to dry towels. But these were very minor issues. The bed/futons were comfortable and the view (that picture with the view of the ocean from the lanai/balcony is exactly what it looks like!) was a great way to start the morning sitting on the lanai with coffee. Also, being an older cinder block building does have the advantage of being quiet. You never hear neighbors at all.
It's not the best snorkeling beach on the island for coral and fish, but due to the reef that protects it, it is never rough, even when the ocean is kicked up. So it's great for kids to get out and swim. As a swimming alternative, the pool was clean and pleasant.
One of the best points about Cheryl's place is the location. If you want to pay big money to go sit on a fancy beach for a week, eat at fancy restaurants, and do expensive shopping, go to Waikiki. On the other hand, if you want to get out to see and do things, this place is perfectly located between the north and south ends of the island. We only spent 1 day in the Honolulu/Waikiki area visiting Pearl Harbor, etc... The rest of our time was spent between the north and south shores doing activities, snorkeling, etc..., and Cheryl's spot was ideal. There's also great food up and down that side of the island. I'm talking shrimp trucks and authentic places, not coat and tie restaurants.
Bottom line is, don't be put off by the exterior. I wouldn't hesitate to rent Cheryl's place again. Cheryl was very pleasant and easy to deal with. Her place is a great value and leaves you with $$$ to spend doing other things. Thanks Cheryl!
We had a great time staying at your condo with our kids for spring break. Loved having access to the beach right outside. It got a little warm but we bought a cheap box fan and that helped cool things off at night. Car noise outside all night from the highway but the fan and ear plugs helped reduce that noise. The condo was well equipped with things like a few sets of snorkel gear, small cooler, beach chairs and beach towels.
Want an 'oceanfront' condo? This is the place.
Punaluu and surrounding areas are away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, etc.
This part of the island is laid-back and rural, although there are shopping centers, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Turtle Bay, etc. Be sure to stop in the little town of Haleiwa, with it's charming shops and restaurants.
If you're a coffee drinker, you will have to go outside the area to find a Starbuck's-like barista.
Local restaurants are few and far in-between, but we did find a few.
The condo is properly supplied, and there are some updates, like the nice kitchen.
It's only feet from the ocean; there is a small beach, but ample for walks.
The other guests and owners who live there were especially nice and helpful, as was the 'housekeeper, Kathy.'
Some construction going on next door.
