PGA TOUR and Travelers Championship partner to promote Men's Health Awareness |
PGA TOUR AND TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP PARTNER TO PROMOTE MEN'S HEALTH AWARENESS Hartford, Conn., April 30, 2008 - The Travelers Championship and the PGA TOUR are proud to announce a special partnership to support Men's Health Month, a national initiative in the month of June. The week of the Travelers Championship will be Men's Health Week on the PGA TOUR, with goals of heightening awareness of preventable health problems and the benefits of health and fitness and encouraging the importance of early detection in men and boys by having the PGA TOUR professionals serve as role models. Fans and players will be part of special programming to support this cause during the Travelers Championship, to be held June 16 - 22 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn. "Health and fitness are a vital part of my game, both for mental and physical success. I really focused on fitness and nutrition in the off season and it is a critical component as I strive to get better," states Hunter Mahan, defending champion of the Travelers Championship. Highlighting the week will be a Men's Health Player Forum on Wednesday, June 18 at 3 p.m. on the new practice facility at TPC River Highlands. This interactive event will feature health and fitness tips from panelists and a question and answer session with three PGA TOUR professionals, as well as Jeffrey Fronk, personal trainer for PGA TOUR professional Vijay Singh, and Ron Kaspriske, fitness editor of Golf Digest. "The PGA TOUR connects with so many men, either in the industry or as sports fans. We have a great opportunity to encourage awareness of men's health issues and to encourage all to live well in order to play well. We are grateful to our partners who are making Men's Health Week on the PGA TOUR possible," states Tim Finchem, commissioner of the PGA TOUR. Fans at the Travelers Championship will have the opportunity to be part of a variety of Men's Health programs, including health screenings and samplings in the Men's Health area of the on-site expo, healthy food options in concessions and a special course map that fans can use to track mileage as they follow their favorite players around the course. Golf is a great form of exercise. In fact, golf has the distinction of being the only sport in which both players and spectators realize the health benefits of exercise. During a normal round, a PGA TOUR professional walks close to 5 miles. If fans were to follow a golfer along all 18 holes of the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, they would walk 4.25 miles. Travelers Championship tickets and additional information about Men's Health Week on the PGA TOUR is available on www.TravelersChampionship.com For additional information about men's health and Men's Health Month programs, visit www.MensHealthMonth.org ### About the Travelers Championship About the PGA TOUR In 2008, the three Tours will compete in 108 events for approximately $355 million in prize money. Tournaments will be held in nine countries outside the U.S. and in 37 states. In addition to providing competitive opportunities for its membership, TOUR events also generate significant funds for local charities. In fact, the three Tours have surpassed the $1 billion mark in overall charitable contributions. The PGA TOUR's web site address is www.pgatour.com and the company is headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. |

It is starting to look like Israel's apparent reaction to the Palestinian Authority (PA) being granted 'observer state' status at the UN last Friday is about to backfire. In a rapidly changing world, Israel's heavy handed response is seen as less and less seen as an appropriate way forward.
Last Friday, the UN General Assembly voted 138 to nine, with 41 abstentions, to grant Palestine observer state status. While not recognising Palestine as a full state, which requires nine of the 15 UN Security Council members to also vote in favour, including all veto-power members, the vote was a significant step towards Palestine's eventual statehood recognition.
Contrary to claims by Israel's spokesman, Mark Regev, the vote gave the PA overwhelming international endorsement for the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.
On Sunday 20 May, East Timor will celebrate ten years of independence. As a nation born from the ashes of destruction, its first decade has been marked by problems and set-backs. Many in East Timor, not least its outgoing president, Jose Ramos-Horta, lament a lack of development since independence. Ramos-Horta notes that the international community has spent billions of dollars in East Timor, yet most East Timorese remain amongst the world's poorest people. But a little over a year ago, Ramos-Horta said that the country had never been better. The question is, in part, whether the metaphorical glass is half empty or half full. It is also, in part, whether the speaker – in this case Ramos-Horta – had a political score to settle. In early 2011, Ramos-Horta was still firmly in Gusmao's political tent. A year later, he is an ex-president outside that tent. Many East Timorese have also been disappointed with independence.

See All
The odyssey of Dennis Hopper was one of Hollywood's longest, strangest trips. A onetime teen performer, he went through a series of career metamorphoses -- studio pariah, rebel filmmaker, drug casualty, and comeback kid -- before finally settling comfortably into the role of character actor par excellence, with a rogues' gallery of killers and freaks unmatched in psychotic intensity and demented glee. Along the way, Hopper defined a generation, documenting the shining hopes and bitter disappointments of the hippie counterculture and bringing their message to movie screens everywhere. By extension, he spearheaded a revolt in the motion picture industry, forcing the studio establishment to acknowledge a youth market they'd long done their best to deny.
Born May 17, 1936 in Dodge City, Kansas, Hopper began acting during his teen years, and made his professional debut on the TV series Medic. In 1955 he made a legendary collaboration with the director Nicholas Ray in the classic Rebel Without a Cause, appearing as a young tough opposite James Dean. Hopper and Dean became close friends during filming, and also worked together on 1956's Giant. After Dean's tragic death, it was often remarked that Hopper attempted to fill his friend's shoes by borrowing much of his persona, absorbing the late icon's famously defiant attitude and becoming so temperamental that his once-bright career quickly began to wane.

Global Temperature Report: September 2013
Global climate trend since Nov. 16, 1978: +0.14 C per decade
September temperatures (preliminary)
Global composite temp.: +0.37 C (about 0.67 degrees Fahrenheit) above 30-year average for September.
Northern Hemisphere: +0.34 C (about 0.61 degrees Fahrenheit) above 30-year average for September.
Southern Hemisphere: +0.39 C (about 0.70 degrees Fahrenheit) above 30-year average for September.
Tropics: +0.19 C (about 0.34 degrees Fahrenheit) above 30-year average for September.
August temperatures (revised):
Global Composite: +0.16 C above 30-year average
Northern Hemisphere: +0.11 C above 30-year average
Southern Hemisphere: +0.21 C above 30-year average
Tropics: +0.01 C above 30-year average
(All temperature anomalies are based on a 30-year average (1981-2010) for the month reported.)
Notes on data released Oct. 3, 2013:
Compared to seasonal norms, in September the coolest area on the globe was south of South Africa in the southern ocean, where temperatures in the troposphere were about 2.49 C (about 4.48 degrees F) cooler than normal, said Dr. John Christy, a professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center (ESSC) at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. The warmest area was in the Wilkes Land area of the east Antarctic, where tropospheric temperatures were 5.20 C (about 9.4 degrees F) warmer than seasonal norms.
Archived color maps of local temperature anomalies are available on-line at:
As part of an ongoing joint project between UAH, NOAA and NASA, Christy and Dr. Roy Spencer, an ESSC principal scientist, use data gathered by advanced microwave sounding units on NOAA and NASA satellites to get accurate temperature readings for almost all regions of the Earth. This includes remote desert, ocean and rain forest areas where reliable climate data are not otherwise available.
The satellite-based instruments measure the temperature of the atmosphere from the surface up to an altitude of about eight kilometers above sea level. Once the monthly temperature data is collected and processed, it is placed in a "public" computer file for immediate access by atmospheric scientists in the U.S. and abroad.
Neither Christy nor Spencer receives any research support or funding from oil, coal or industrial companies or organizations, or from any private or special interest groups. All of their climate research funding comes from federal and state grants or contracts.

Channel 2 has learned that an Atlanta high school principal who was given a 10-day suspension in January for cheating hasn't served a day of it yet.
Since a state investigation earlier this year revealed widespread standardized test cheating at Atlanta Public Schools, there has been much talk about tough discipline for accused elementary and middle school teachers. Dr. Darian Jones was accused of changing grades, and former APS superintendent Beverly Hall ordered a 10-day suspension, but Jones hasn't missed a day or a paycheck.
Jones, principal of Carver Health High School, came under fire by a teacher who he wanted to dismiss. At a hearing, the teacher's lawyer argued unsuccessfully that the principal's own documented cheating should be a put into evidence.
"I mean he changed two grades of two girls who didn't come to class, and had he not changed those plus a few others, he would not have made AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress)," attorney John Jones said.
An internal investigation by the school system concluded that Jones graduated all seniors who had passed the Georgia graduation tests regardless of whether they had fulfilled their academic requirements. The report also said teachers were adamant that the students deserved the failing grades.
Though Hall ordered Jones' suspension in January, nine months have passed with no correspondence in APS' files scheduling Jones' suspension or loss of pay. Channel 2's Richard Belcher checked his school Tuesday, and Jones' car was parked in his normal spot.
When Belcher confronted school officials about the issue, they said Jones is planning to take one week of suspension in November and another week in January, but nothing is in writing.

Manuel 'Matty' Moroun's attorneys argued that he should not be put in jail because he had resigned and no longer had any authority; his health is failing; he is not really the bridge's owner, they state a Moroun trust has a minority stake in a holding company that owns the bridge.

The lighting in the room was a little dim (a problem if you need to study in the evenings :)). Breakfast was on the really cheap side. Smell from the drains quite persistent.
Wifi isn't that great.. Didn't work most of the time .

bed was creaky
I liked that the room was very clean, also the receptionist was very friendly
I didn't like that the electrical appliances was making noise, but I just turned them all off
location is excellent and the staff are very helpful.
Room, pool, and facility are ok
The bathroom have Fungus around the windows and shower around the edge have fungus too. The air condition vent in the room was very Filthy I took pictures and show it to the front desk receptionist ( they did not care about it) they tell me they will work on it. I will not stay there for the money did I paid for it. &Quot; I would like a discount on bill for the poor Maintenance on the room."
Location and facility layout was nice. Lisa at front desk was friendly, helpful, and a good plus for this facility.
The mold in the bathtub grout made taking a bath questionable. The air conditioning had towels stuffed between the motors and the housing in our room to keep the motors from vibrating and making a lot of racket when trying to sleep. Obviously towels by guests reflects poor maintenance and air filter needed cleaning.
No wifi
The proximity to LEGOLAND, our primary destination and the included breakfast was excellent. The staff were friendly.
My room was dark. I had paperwork to review and could not accomplish my task; the pool water was way too cold for us to use; and price was a high for a somewhat dated facility.
Rooms were comfortable Staff was pleasant
Not sure how this place qualifies as a 3 star hotel. Our view was of pipes. The common areas are very outdated. Workout room smelled like stale air. Thought we would be closer to the ocean instead it was right off the interstate. Also none of the gates with locks on them were actually locked. Anyone could access the facilities.
Location and friendliness of staff
Peeling wallpaper in bathroom, and having been assigned one of the worst, noisiest rooms on the property when many of the rooms were not yet occupied upon our arrival. We felt that we were treated like second-class travelers because we booked through booking.com at a discounted price
We liked the proximity to beaches and other attractions.
Staff at reception desk was not welcoming. If we ever had a need we came across as a burden. Ground floor rooms get a lot of upper floor noise. Carpeting was dirty-if we walked barefoot indoors our feet became blackened. Sprinklers that turned on nightly were aimed right at our front door. Grounds were unkempt. Ice machines were not working and security gates were not working properly so anyone could have walked onto the grounds. Not one of our 5 nights stay was restful at this "resort." When asked how our stay was we kindly and honestly answered and handed in our comment card. It was torn up before our eyes.
The staff was friendly and prompt when we needed new blankets.
Our sheets and blankets were wet! As if they'd been taken out of the drier to soon. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows too small. The complimentary breakfast was worse than day old McDonalds.
Proximity to legoland and beach. Breakfast buffet was acceptable and made travel with kids easier. Condition of room was mostly good. Parking was not a problem.
Our room had a view of the dumpsters (less than 40 feet away) behind adjacent restaurant. Lazy maids were throwing garbage bags over fence into dumpsters. Shuttle van driver speeding thru parking lot/driving unsafely. Shuttle service was a joke...a minivan taking one family at a time to legoland. Walking th mile was quicker. Card key security gates not working. Generally a fun down facility. Booking.com did not accurately represent this hotel and the rate was very excessive considering the poor quality. It was obvious the staff were lowest paid available and owners seem interested in milking the place without putting their profits into updates. My Yelp! Review will include all the info and the fact that Card key security gates not working.
easy access to the outlet mall and a wide range of restaurants
late room servicing
My son and I had a wonderful room and a great time. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded to an executive suite with a hottub in the room. The breakfast was excellent as well. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
Close to lots of things to do
The initial room we received smelled like mildew and leaking water from the ceiling light fixture. Was given a new room in the evening, no compensation offered.
The location was good
the smell in the room and the carpet was very bad. When walking without any socks my feet became very blank in the first couple of steps. yak
White linens,pool and convenient breakfast area to the room, quiet.
We enjoyed the room, very large and clean. Beds were very comfy. I forgot my diamond earrings in the room and within 3 days I received them in the mail. Honest housekeeping. I like that. I would stay there again. Breakfast was really good.
I really can't think of anything I didn't like about this hotel.
Close to Legoland but not walking distance. If you're looking to shop then this is the place for you. Across the street from outlet mall. The room was good, comfortable with coffee maker and fridge. Breakfast was a plus. Hot meal and cold items avail. Pool and hot tub nice to have. Other restaurants w/in walking distance. Price could be better but then we stayed during 4th weekend.
Nothing enough to note.
Was ok.
Close to legoland
We liked it

MIPCOM 1997: Animation, Animation Everywhere
Walking onto the floor of this year's MIPCOM television trade show, held September 26-30 in Cannes, was, as usual, daunting; particularly for a small independent animation producer like myself, devoid of expense account, his own stand, or extensive contacts culled from decades in the business. The first thing one notices are the hundreds - no, the thousands - of animated titles jumping out from seemingly every one of more than 100 booths.
Just from the Japanese company Tokyo Broadcast System, I counted 45 different titles alone! The booth of the German company BetaFilm was wall-papered with glossy color brochures for dozens of animated series like Peter of Placid Forest ("Placid no more, the forest is thrown into an uproar when the hungry buzz of the chainsaw announces trouble"), Perrine ("Join a spunky little girl as she fearlessly makes her way across Europe"), and The Ketchup Vampires ("Meet Dracula's quirky descendants - a new breed of vegetarian vampires"). Even in this catsup category there was intense competition. The Australian company, Southern Star was offering an animated series called Ketchup: Cats Who Cook.
Cutting Through the Clutter
Some sellers are trying to cope with the glut by branching out into live-action. Sunbow Entertainment, for example, was busy selling its first two live-action series, Deepwater Black and Student Bodies. Others try to stand out with brand names, like Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold, Saban's array of well known super heroes, and the legendary The Smurfs. In fact, The Smurfs, which is on television in 30 countries, had a booth all to itself.
"Everyone is looking for a way to cut through the clutter, and one way is with an identifiable character," explained Chantal Bazelaire, operations officer for a new French company, European Creative Productions, which has obtained rights to the Marx Brothers characters and is looking for partners to turn them into an animated series.
Another constant is the regurgitation of literary classics. There were at least a dozen versions of A Christmas Carol, including an 85-minute feature from the German company IgelFilm.
Many of these projects are brought to MIPCOM in search of funding; sometimes with a full pilot, sometimes with a sample reel of a minute or so, sometimes with just a storyboard. Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) was offering ten animated pilots, six projects in development and another dozen titles in various stages of production.
A number of producers were offering more serious fare, to contrast with the more antiseptic, Western made-for-television series. For example, newly packaged programs from animation-rich eastern Europe attracted a lot of attention. According to Regina Billings, Director of Sales for Films by Jove, at least a dozen deals were closed for Masters of Russian Animation, a re-packaging of classic Russian animation from the '70s and '80s.
"There's still room for unique product," said Sjoerd Raemakers, business manager at the Dutch company Palm Plus Productions which distributes my own two series which are compilations of classic animation from Zagreb Film and the Sofia Animation Studio.
Producers can take comfort, however, from the explosion of new television channels around the world, many specifically aimed at children. Plus, partly due to European sensibilities, and partly because of increased pressure in the United States for FCC-friendly fare, animated offerings don't seem nearly so dominated by robots from outer space wielding big guns as they did just a few years ago.

Forgotten Films: SHE (1935)
This is the 15th in my series of Forgotten Obscure or Neglected Films
I am a big fan of the writings of Sir H(enry) Rider Haggard. His novels ERIC BRIGHTEYES, KING SOLOMON'S MINES and SHE are among my favorites, especially SHE. This film was done under the production eyes of Merriam Cooper, just two years after KING KONG. And with a magnificent score from Max Steiner, who also did the KONG score.
So with a story from Haggard and the production of Cooper and the cast which includes Randolph Scott, Helen Mack and Nigel Bruce, why isn't this film better known and widely hailed as a classic?
Good question. Part of it is Randolph Scott who plays Leo Vincey a young explorer sent off on a quest by his dying uncle to find a land his ancient ancestor (whom he closely resembles) found 500 years earlier. As an actor, Scott made a great cowboy. As an object of undying love and devotion, maybe not so much.
Anyway, Vincey and his uncle's good friend Horace Holley go searching north Russia looking for the secret of eternal life. Along the way they pick up Tanya (Helen Mack) and her father. When they discover a saber-toothed tiger buried inside a glacier with a man in Elizabethan costume, they think they are on the proper trail. A freak avalanche created by Tanya's father uncovers a hidden entrance while killing the father. The trio enters the cave and finds warm springs creating a heat that allows people to live in a forgotten land. They are captured and nearly killed by cave people and are barely rescued, though Leo is injured. They are rescued by an oddly dressed group of folks who speak English. They learned it long ago from a visitor.
They are brought before Queen Hash-a-Mo-Tep, She Who Must Be Obeyed (Helen Gahagan), the immortal queen who had fallen in love with Vincey's ancestor, who had taught them English, and for whom she has waited 500 years. She desires the love of Vincey, but he seems entranced by Tanya instead. But SHE will not have her love usurped by a young thing, not when she has waited so long.
The sets, once we enter SHE's domain are wonderful art deco masterpieces. There are some wild dance sequences, particularly in the Hall of Kings. That segment was nominated for an Academy Award for Dance Direction.
The music is wonderful, the scenery is lush, the story is wild, but it seems to fall a little flat. The DVD from Legend Films also features a colorized version of the film. This is, amazingly, not a jarringly bad as the previous colorized films I have seen. I watched the film in black and white initially, just as Nature intended it to be seen, then I watched the final 20 minutes or so in the colorized version and they were quite good, particularly the dance sequence.
Helen Gahagan, who plays She, only made one film. She did theater and Broadway and later entered into politics, serving in the House of Representatives from California. She made a bid for the Senate where she was defeated by Richard Nixon, whom she called "Tricky Dicky". She did not invent the nickname, but she had it stick. He, in turn, developed the term "Pinko" to describe her, since her voting mirrored that of a Communist politician.
Other cast members included Noble Johnson, Ray Corrigan, and Olympian Kim Thorpe all in uncredited roles, per IMDB.
In the mid 1970's I got the Max Steiner score on a bootleg record and it was quite good. With the film to reference against, it is even better. And the Legend Films folks have a nice clean print of the film to work with. Also, Ray Harryhausen provides a commentary track on the film.
IMDB lists the original running time as 101 minutes but the US time at 95 minutes which is what is on my DVD. I wonder what the other 6 minutes contained?
Do not confuse this with the Ursula Andress or other versions of the same name. The name is all they share in common with the novel or this film.
Also the original novel is set in Africa rather than northern Russia. I am curious why that change was made. Anyone with knowledge out there?
Series organizer Todd Mason hosts more Tuesday Forgotten Film reviews at his own blog and posts a complete list of participating blogs.

DIAZ, JAVIER. TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY AS A NEW APPROACH TO HYDROELECTRIC GENERATION IN THE SHORT TERM. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2009, vol.76, n.157, pp. 91-100. ISSN 0012-7353.
In this paper a non linear model to represent the technical efficiency in the hydroelectric generation turbine operation is formulated, beginning from graphs, given for the manufacturers, normally known as hill diagrams. A multiple non linear regression analysis is proposed to represent a Francis turbine as a quadratic function of the net head and the discharged water. A relative efficiency maximum trajectory to meet the optimal discharge to a specified net head is postulated, which can be observed in the hill diagram and calculated in an analytic form from the estimated function. It is analized this trajectory usefulness for decision making in regard to the discharge, as a decision variable, for a hydroelectric generation enterprise operating in the maximum efficiency in the short term market place.
Palavras-chave : net head; discharge; turbine efficiency; hydroelectrical generation; optimization; relative maximum efficiency trajectory.

Latin America & Antarctica
Latin America Holidays
A destination on the up thanks to an enticing blend of attractions and a new found place in the public consciousness. Whatever you are hoping for we will have a spot-on suggestion. Want breathtaking landscapes? We can advise on some that may render your jaw duly dropped, such as the pampas of Argentina or glaciers in Chile.
Wildlife nuts can travel to a secret spot that we know deep in the Pantanal wetlands in Brazil where jaguar sightings are all but guaranteed. We can arrange tailormade adventures into the remote Amazon rainforest, or mountaineering with expert guides in the Andes and diving to the Galapagos Islands. Party animals have to visit Rio and history buffs the various – invariably spectacular – ruined cities of the great indigenous peoples, the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas.
Antarctica Holidays
As for Antarctica, just contemplating this enormous land mass tends to bring out our inner statistician. Example – while Antarctica comprises nearly 10% of earth's landmass it is (semi-permanent) home to a mere 0.00002% of its population. But before you consider that a tempting change from a crowded island like the UK, mull over the reason why - it's essentially a frozen desert, and recently recorded the coldest ever temperature, an eye-freezing -89°C. Away from the harsh conditions of the interior, and at the right time of year (between November and March) Original Travel arranges cruises on the best new ships or, for the really adventurous, exclusive itineraries including visits to vast ice caves on the polar plateau, skiing across enormous snow fields, ice climbing and kite-skiing.
Panama CityPanamaOnce you've visited the fascinating canal, there are plenty of other attractions - old and new - in Panama's capital city. |
Bocas del ToroPanamaPanama's little-known idyllic Caribbean archipelago of picture postcard tropical islands is easily accessible from the mainland. |
San Blas IslandsPanamaA Caribbean archipelago offering tropical beach paradise alongside living, breathing indigenous tribal culture. |
Granada, Leon & the Pacific CoastNicaraguaThe colonial town of Granada is a must-see, sitting alongside the mighty Mombacho volcano and Lake Nicaragua. |
Oaxaca & ChiapasMexicoThe most culturally diverse experiences in Mexico. And that's saying something. |

Swimming Pool Toy Buying Guide
Ride-ons can be inexpensive. Price often determines the durability of swimming pool toys; higher-end ride-ons might have motors attached so the toy can be driven around the pool. Some pool toys are designed to hold either one child or multiple children. Choose swimming pool toys with shapes and colors that interest children. A baby float comforts children to make them feel comfortable in the water, and in turn, more relaxed swimmers. Inspect water toys for quality seams; seams will suffer abuse when ride-on water toys are sent into motion by kid power, which includes a lot of kicking and splashing. Never leave water toys in an unattended pool - they may attract small children to water that is unsupervised. Variety Spices Up the Pool Simple pool toys like beach balls, swim rings, swimming noodles, and sponge toys provide hours of fun for all ages. Some pool toys like water guns and water blasters can be played with outside of the pool setting. Competitive team games like water basketball and pool volleyball are musts for pool parties. Ultimately, the purpose of stocking your pool with swimming pool toys is to safely encourage physical activity and to increase quality family time. |
If infants and toddlers are spending time in the pool, make sure there is adult supervision. Increase pool safety by selecting inflatable water toys scaled to their size rather than modifying larger swimming pool toys for their use.
A quality air pump and a patching kit are necessary for minor repairs and routine maintenance. Purchasing inflatable swimming pool rafts allows for easy winter storage by deflating and storing in large totes. Non-inflatable swimming pool toys are often made of synthetic materials and sturdy plastic. Check into the manufacturer's reputation before making your swimming pool toy purchases. Do not purchase pool toys with sharp edges that could cause injuries or small pieces that may cause choking.

motion code: blue | Shipyard Taiwan
Guest post from christian gumpold
motion code: blue, which is an industrial design studio with emphasis on yacht design, has enhanced its areas of operation by another design discipline; they offer architectural concepts and its development until implementation planning.
The studio has just finished their reference project: a Taiwanese shipyard was designed, planned and visualized.
Outgoing from an existing u-shaped hall and production building for motor yachts, the studio has the task from its customer to add an office building, green and recreational spaces as well as a showroom in a very representative and modern way, inspired by contemporary European architecture. Part of the briefing was also that the yard should get strong landmark-like characteristics.
The office building was designed as an elongated and elevated element which closes the u-shaped halls optically as well as for a floating appearance.

Let me just say that Orlando is not all about Disney. If you take a trip, make time of Universal Studios. Both parks. Monday we did the Universal Studios Florida park.
Here are my thoughts and feelings.
We decided to park at Universal Studios.
I'm not sure if they have a bus system, but there didn't seem to be an easy, convenient one for us. Parking was $15 for the day.
-Despicable Me – This ride was great. It was a simulation, but it was in a gigantic auditorium. Instead of a small screen on the inside of a "car," it was a gigantic screen in the auditorium. It was pretty funny too!
-The Simpsons – Another simulation ride. I know it seems like there are a lot of them (and there are), but they are all SO different and so much fun! This one felt really real. I think the line for this is usually pretty long but we went during lunchtime and didn't have to wait long.
-Rip Ride Rockit – So so fun. This is the one real rollercoaster they have at the park. I absolutely loved it. The cool thing about this ride is that each seat has a set of speakers built in to the headpiece and a touchscreen on the lap bar. Before the ride starts, you can select a song to play during the ride. How fun is that?! This had about a 20 minute line each time we did it. Universal doesn't have a FastPass. They have an Express Pass, but you have to pay for it. No thanks.
-Revenge of the Mummy – Stephen really liked this one. It was an indoor rollercoaster. I don't like scary things (mummies, skeletons, etc) so I closed my eyes a lot. I actually love closing my eyes during rollercoasters because I think it's fun to have no idea what is coming next. So it worked well for us and we went on it twice.
-Disaster – This is a show. I think it kind of depends on the person putting it on, but we absolutely loved it. The actor working at the time was very entertaining.
-Shrek 4D – Stephen and I don't see 3D. Weird fun fact. We each only use one eye on a daily basis, so 3D things are hard for us. They take a lot of concentration and if something moves too quickly, we end up seeing double. This was fun though. Shrek is always funny, and the show was really well done.
-Twister – Skip this. It was created back when the movie came out and it's really not that cool. The pre-show is especially lame. Go if you're curious and have some spare time, but don't feel bad about skipping.
-Men in Black – This is another shooting game. Stephen rocked it, I was terrible. I didn't really like it because I didn't know where I was supposed to be shooting. Plus, even if I did know, my aim is so terrible that it doesn't really matter. Stephen beat me by about a bagillion points. I was tragically eaten by aliens since I couldn't protect myself.
-Animal Actors – OMG. Once upon a time, Stephen and I went to Dickens on the Strand and witnessed a falcon fly away during a bird show. Think that's bad? Go to this show. The animals wouldn't cooperate. Since the trainers use these shows as teaching moments, they continue giving the commands so that the animals know that while they are on stage, they are working. So… yeah… it got awkward. The only good part of the show was that Stephen and I got to eat our Dippin Dots in the shade.
-Horror Make-up Show – Like Destruction, this was fantastic!! Maybe it wouldn't be as good if the actors weren't as good. Ours were fabulous and hilarious. What made it even more funny was the woman they chose from the audience as a "helper" didn't speak any English. Nice.
We had lunch at this place called Finnegan's. Stephen had some sort of meat sandwich with sauerkraut or something. I honestly can't remember what I had, maybe a burger? I remember enjoying it though. It wasn't grossly overpriced and it was good food. I recommend it and I'd have it again.
Dinner. Ha. Well here is a story.
We heard a guy in the street announcing something about a taping going on today on Stage 24. I was like, "Say wha???" So we walked over to ask him what was being filmed so we could decide if we'd like to go. It was some new show called Unplugged with Shaquille O'Neal. Basically Shaq and a few other comedians watch YouTube videos and make fun of them. Think Tosh.0, plus a few comedians, minus the green screen. They were giving out tickets for the 5:00 taping and the 7:00 taping. We chose to go to the 7 show and we were told to show up at 6 and that it would be about an hour and a half commitment.For the record, we went because Stephen wanted to go. I didn't think it sounded great. Especially when the lady said, "Come ready to have a great time!!" and did a little dance. I don't know how to have a great time like that. I was scared they'd make me dance or do something else that might make me faint and embarrass myself.
We arrived at 6:00 and tons of people were sitting around. We waited and waited. At about 6:30, someone came to tell us they were running a bit behind and it would probably be another 15 minutes. About 25 minutes later, someone came out to tell us it would be another 15 minutes and they'd really appreciate it if we could all stay. Stephen and I decided to grab a soft pretzel and hurry back. They ended up calling us back a bit after 7:00. They took us into a building and said, "Okay, we are still not done, but we wanted to get you out of the rain." It wasn't raining. Basically they wanted to get us behind the fence so we'd be less likely to leave. Well played, Universal. We waited there for a while and then they came out to get us. "We still aren't done but we're going to bring you inside. We are going to have you hang out back stage. You are LITERALLY right behind the stage, so please don't make any noise." Okay. Finally it was our turn. The first show was over and the first audience left, but not without stopping to take pictures with Shaq.
We headed to the set and saw that there were basically a ton of tall tables with high chairs that had no backs. There were also two long couches on each side of the set. Some lady was instructing people where to go. THANKFULLY we were chosen to sit on a couch. I think it's because Stephen was wearing his awesome fedora.
Our hour and a half commitment turned out to be 5 hours. It was long! But it was funny and I'm glad we did it. Good choice, Stephen! When we left, it was quite late. We were hungry but didn't want to eat a lot, so we drove through McDonald's and got a small cheeseburger and split some fries. It hit the spot.
My overall Universal experience: great! I loved it. It wasn't very crowded, the food was good, the rides were great! I definitely notice a difference in the employees than at Disney. Aside from the actors in the shows (who are FANTASTIC), the other employees aren't quite as happy as Disney employees. They don't really care if your day is magical. None of them were rude, mind you, they just didn't have fairy dust coming out of their ears.
Want some pictures? OKAY
This is of us with Shaq. (Obviously.) Keep in mind that it's the end of a LONG day. My hair has been completely tangled from going on that rolelrcoaster twice (seriously, I couldn't even run my fingers through it), we were tired and starving, and there is some weird light or something on Stephen's face. BUT! Look at the size of Shaq's hands!!! Also, keep in mind that I'm about 6 feet tall.

Chilmark tosses mooring ball in state's waters
By Steve Myrick
Published: June 5, 2008
Chilmark selectmen voted unanimously Tuesday to seek the guidance of the state's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in the ongoing dispute over two private businesses that control 20 percent of the town's boat moorings. DEP sets the rules for public waterways, including regulations about fair and equitable access of moorings and dock space.
The action comes in response to a legal opinion from town counsel Ron Rappaport.
"There is not a clarity in the regulations," said selectmen chair Frank Fenner Jr. "I personally would like to see it remain the way it is, but I also don't want to do anything illegal. Until they (DEP) give us direction, I personally see no reason to change."
Selectmen J.B. Riggs Parker, who initiated the request for a legal opinion, said the commercial mooring operations provide a good, effective service. "But that creates a conflict between the existing system, which has helped a lot of people, and the people on the waiting list, who feel that they should be getting those permits rather than having permits issued to commercial people who then hand them out to their customers," he said. "We should go to them (DEP) and ask the question. If they say no, you can't do this, then we know where we are."
Two individuals hold blocks of moorings in Chilmark waters. Jonathan Mayhew holds 25 mooring permits, in the Clam Point Cove area, and Lynn Murphy holds 15 permits near Menemsha channel.
Mr. Mayhew and Mr. Murphy operate mooring businesses that were established long before Chilmark's current waterways regulations, and even prior to the state laws on which local regulations are based.
Susan Murphy said her family business is little different than other long established businesses that use public resources, including lots leased by the town to business owners around Menemsha Harbor.
"Explain how our use of this town asset (in this case, a mooring permit) is somehow different from the town's granting leases to private individuals for lots of town real estate," said Ms. Murphy in a statement she read at Tuesday's meeting. "The town charges $900 annually to both the gas station and the fish markets. We actually pay the town more in fees than does the gas station or either fish market."
Mr. Rappaport's review found that several points are clear under state laws and DEP regulations, among them, that multiple mooring permits may be issued to an individual and utilized by the permit holder or immediate family members for personal use, but new or vacant moorings permits cannot be assigned by anyone except the harbormaster (or other assigned agent of the town) under a fair and equitable waiting list procedure.
"What remains unclear," wrote Mr. Rappaport in his opinion, "is whether the moorings which have historically been utilized by persons other than the Mayhew and Murphy immediate family members must be assigned by the harbormaster under the town's waiting list procedure."
The town counsel wrote that there is some ambiguity in the regulations governing private boatyards, called private recreational boating facilities, which hold multiple mooring permits. He said state law does not "address whether multiple mooring permits may be issued to a single person or entity," and does not "mandate procedures to be followed by a harbormaster (or any other town officials) in issuing mooring permits."

Our Story
Location and Soil
Waiheke Island, in the Hauraki Gulf off Auckland, is famous for producing great red wines because of its low summer rainfall and consistently high temperatures.
We are located at the same relative latitude as the southern tip of Sicily. Stonyridge is located in a gently north-facing valley, 1 km from both Onetangi Beach to the north and Putiki Bay to the south. It is sheltered from the cold southwesterly winds by Stonyridge, a long ridge running from one coast to the other. A nearby rock quarry gives an indication of the soil type. The soil is a poor low-fertility Waitemata clay saturated with nodules of magnesium, manganese, and iron oxides. Magnesium is the central molecule of chlorophyll, essential for photosynthesis, much loved by grape vines and so often deficient in NZ soils. The only fertilizers we add are natural-ground limestone and a homemade seaweed emulsion.
Our viticulture is meticulous, with at least 5 full-time staff working in our 6-hectare vineyard throughout the year. We select the finest clones and graft them onto the best low-vigour rootstocks we can find. Apart from the five Bordeaux grapes, we are doing trials with many other varieties. Insecticides have never been used at Stonyridge and herbicides have not been used since 1988 when we purchased our first German tractor-mounted undervine weeder. Our vine-disease-protection program is limited to non-systemic fungicides (copper and sulfur).
We are organic growers, but because of an allergy to bureaucracy we refuse to be certified by an agency.
"I have seen many New World attempts to emulate the Bordeaux method of growing grapes, none more convincing than that of Stephen White at Stonyridge...A vertical tasting did no more than confirm my view that Stephen White is making New Zealand's finest Cabernet-based red wines." - James Halliday, Wine Atlas of Australia and New Zealand

yammy Wrote:The reason I am after the wireless bridge is that my modem/wireless router (802.11n) is not able to connect via ethernet to the ATV2 and I need this as the media stream from my NAS constantly buffers using XBMC my proposed setup is below.
Boblite modem/wireless router (802.11n) to wirelessly connect to Netgear WN2000RPT (802.11n), NAS & ATV2 to connect to Netgear WN2000RPT via ethernet cables.
Correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't this allow me to access the NAS for XBMC and access the net as well?
Ah, so the Boblite modem/wireless router has the network ports but isn't close enough to the ATV2 so you can't plug it in directly and when you plug the NAS drive into the ATV2 that disables the WiFi connection on the ATV2 since both interfaces can't be active at the same time.
Obviously it'd be ideal if you could plug the ATV2 and NAS into the Boblite and remove the need for a wireless connection. There isn't a coax connection for the Boblite near the TV you want to plug the ATV2 into?
Anyway, if there's no way relocate the Boblite you'll need 2 wired network ports (NAS and ATV2)... I think your best bet is something like this setup. It should be more reliable and faster than a wireless repeater for streaming. Wireless is a last resort for media streaming... it's better than nothing but it's often a source of trouble.
