Provence Marinaside
Online Reservations
We really enjoy coming here... Food is consistently delicious, and service is always wonderful. It is especially great to eat on the patio and watch the world walk by! Inside the restaurant is very noisy... We try to sit at a "quieter" table.
This was the perfect setting for a special occasion family dinner. The food was fantastic, the service warm and top-notch. I loved the way our server attended to us but also left us to talk and enjoy each other's company. We stayed for almost four hours and never felt rushed. Our meal was delicious, and all of us had an excellent time - our ages ranging from 35 to 65.
Four of us had diner at Provence on Saturday night~~loved the food, the halibut was fantastic and a friend really enjoyed the lamb chops. Plenty of tapas style appetizers if you like and a great wine list too. My only complaint was the decibel level in the restaurant. It was difficult to have a conversation around the table as we couldn't hear one another! I have noted this problem in the past but I don't think there is a solution. Once the weather improves the outdoor patio is available and it is quieter. Over all we all had a lovely evening, great food, good service and a definite Provencal feel! We will all return.
This was my top choice for the venue to entertain visitors from out of town. It did not disappoint in terms of the quality of the food and the service. My guests were very pleased with the evening. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. The only negative aspect was the level of noise from two of the tables in our area; one was particularly bad as I think the two men had a bit too much to drink and were quite loud to the point of being obnoxious. Fortunatley they left part way through our meal so we did not have to endure their boisterous behaviour the entire evening. The other table was a group of 4-5 people, but they were only noisy at times.
Never been disappointed in Provence Marinaside nor Provence for that matter. The ravioli was outstanding.
This is one of our favourite spots for summer lunches on the patio. The menu is great! Good wine list and knowledgeable wait staff.
Our group of four had the special April fish menu and everything was superb. This is our go-to place for a quality dining experience and we've been quite a few times but this time was really exceptional.
We had a lovely evening with long time friends, all enjoyed there food and the wine. All of us being drinkers of old world wine were thrilled to be introduced to a Italian white at a very reasonable price. Won't mention the name until we have bought out the city. Unfortunately we missed much of what our companions were saying, the noise level inside is just to loud, we will go back to our rule Provence, outside deck only.
It is not a surprise that this restaurant is always packed. Outstanding food and service are just part of what Provence Marinaside has to offer. Great variety of food and wine, constant high quality of ingredients and careful dish preparation & presentation also help. Will come again in the near future.
Had razor clams and steamed mussels for appetizers - definitely would go for the clams again next time, but I've had better steamed mussels (portion size was a bit small too). Halibut was great and so was the dorade fillet. Creme brulee and cheesecake for desserts - both are good but very sweet. Waitress was nice and attentive, but didn't seem to know the specials and had to read off of her cheat sheet. I would definitely be returning to this restaurant with my friends.
Came for lunch to celebrate a birthday. The menu of the day was a perfect fit for all of us. Two shared the boccicini tomato salad and roast veggies to start, while the other two shared the peppers with goat cheese and the pisaladiere. Mains consisted of the mushroom ravioli, spagattini with seafood and salmon, all pronounced excellent and ample. The wine menu is easy to navigate and we chose an excellent Pinot Gris. We managed to force down the candle lit khalua chocolate cake which arrived on a plate decorated with chocolate "Happy Birthday" . The service was prompt, professional and efficient. The restaurant's music was background only and allowed us to hear our own conversations and not the table's next to us. A very lovely day.
A good place to take out of town visitors because of the location and quality of the seafood,, but the noise level on a Friday night interfered with conversation.
The Provence in Yaletown is a great location to sit back and relax and enjoy the view! Comfortable patio area overlooking the marina. Excellent food - at any time!
Food was good. Service was excellent. Overall a very good experience.
Provence Marinaside is our worldwide favourite restaurant.... its Awesome! Great food, great service, great atmosphere!
We hopped off the Blue line tour bus to see Yaletown, and had lunch directly across the street from the stop at Provence Marinaside. Great food (seafood salad and salmon plate, chicken and mushroom panini) and attentive service, Wonderful outside table overlooking False Creek.
Family was in town just back from a cruise and I picked the evening venue. I consider myself fortunate to have chosen this restaurant. The wait staff was very considerate of our needs. Food was consistently very good. Some A complimentary dessert plate for a bit of commotion related to an apology for a customer medical emergency just topped off a really satisfying dining experience. When in Vancouver, we will return.
I had made a reservation at Provence to take my grandmother for breakfast and I made a note that I wanted a table by the window, they read the note and made it happen. The service was great! Not intrusive but not absent. The food was excellent, they can do eggs beautifully! I don't know if I have had better eggs anywhere else! The coffee is excellent too! I thought when the food came out that there might have been too much food for me to finish but it was perfect, the fresh fruit really made it a great breakfast! I had been to Provence Marinaside once before, years ago, and it is still excellent. Beautifully done!
The food and service were both very nice. I was there with a friend from Calgary and we both enjoyed being able to sit outside and dine. Both the halibut and salmon were cooked very nicely and not over done. The wine was superb and the service was really tremendous. A nice experience.
Our server Rochelle was great! She was attentive, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The food was very tasty and the patio fantastic. My only complaint really would be that the music didn't fit the scene. It was sort of bad top 40 playing and seemed very dated. Overall would definitely recommend.
Went there with family & friends with 2 babies. Food were great. Service was excellent. Higly recommend.
Great location, neighborhood with view on the marina. Service was friendly and prompt. We had a wide selection of appetizers which we excellent. Steamed Dungeness crabb, nice size and salads. The Ceasar was OK but the salad with pears was very good. Nice wine selection in cluding good Okanagan wines. Highly recommended.
good food! awesome bocconcini salad & french toast! the best!
Server was attentive which made our dining experience enjoyable. Patio space was a bit crowded so there was a constant jostling of servers and patrons.
May now be the best seafood restaurant in Vancouver. Outstanding meal. Superb service.
We had a great dinner at this restaurant. The clams were fresh and very good, then we had a crab risotto and dugness crab, which was very good too. The waiter was smiling and gave us good advices about the choice for food and wine. This is not too expensive for the quality of food. The view on the marina is great.
The prawn and avocado salad was beautifully presented and very delicious. My sister's creamy bamboo rice and crab risotto was outstanding. My seared tuna with spinach and quinoa was understated, but simply delicious. My nephew, who is an ardent foodie, loved his three smoked fish hors d'oeuvres and the tomato seafood pasta.
Location is important to me, and I love to visit Vancouver from its edge. The sea wall and False Creek ferry system are truly the neighborhood gems. Provence Marinaside is a lovely part of that, and yet conveniently located near several concert venues. Our table of four enjoyed, a well prepared relaxed dinner on the patio. Try the goat cheese salad, and crab cakes on a bed of fennel.
This is my second visit. Amazing!!!! Ordered steam clams, lamb, lobster, chocolate cake...delicious, the lobster was not amazing,probably because it is out of season. It didn't matter much because the place is so elegant and even the bread and butter is amazing!!!
Our table of 5 were seated promptly. We took our time looking at the menu. Then waited. And waited. No water. It was a hot sunny day so we were thirsty. We kept trying to make eye contact with someone but no luck. We waited more. No water. No service. Finally, when we were debating whether to leave or not as the wait was much too long for any kind of service, our server appeared. We had to ask him for water. He brought us water, then disappeared for a long long time afterwards. After we FINALLY got water and ordered, things went well from then on. The staff who delivered our food were very good -- polite, friendly, pleasant. Our server was very good too after the slow start. Great food.
If you enjoy a god selection of seafood from shellfish to good fish, then consider Provence. Located at the Marinaside, after a sumptious meal of oysters, fish, lobsters, and not forgetting the free flow of good bread, you can enjoy a lovely stroll by the water.
Local, flavourful, - a gem of a restaurant. Using seasonal products, locally sourced, fresh flavours, excellent presentation, the meal was prefect. Wild Mushroom Ravioli - tender, excellent pasta to sauce ratio; fresh oysters - so fresh you could smell the seawater; crab and scallops the same. Wine pairings - excellent choices. Great service. Highly recommend anytime of day or night.
The food and service is consistently very good and there is a nice selection of wine. We recently enjoyed a delicious three course dinner with wine pairings to celebrate the Tomato Festival. The wine bar also has tasting events and specials. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
My guest and I enjoyed our meals here. Sat outside to enjoy the great weather.near the water but across a road and marina from the water. They were featuring an heirloom tomato pre fixe menu so we opted for that. Since we don't eat dessert they were nice to let us sub a small bites plate. My guest had the soup, while I had the caprese salad. We both got the halibut and it was fantastic. For "dessert" my guest had the smoked fish trio and thought if was excellent. I had the marinated calamari and it was super tender and tasty. A large number of wines are on tap, allowing guests to order a half liter if a full bottle is too much. Our aerver was top notch. Would definitely go back.
Although the venue was very exciting and "up beat", there were too many sirens around - police and ambulance - but that could have been a good thing.......certainly not the restaurant's fault. Great place to "people" watch.
I've been going here for special dinners and the occasional brunch for what must be a decade. The food and service are generally very good to excellent. On this occasion we had the salmon and tuna entrees and both were terrific, with a bit more vegetable accompaniment than formerly provided. Even through we go four-five times a year the staff recognised us so I didn't even have to mention our names or the fact that it was my partner's birthday (I'd noted it on the OpenTable reservation) to get special treatment. The only slight issue was that the usually excellent bread was served a bit dry and over-toasted. Fortunately the birthday dessert platter was ample compensation!
Provence proved to be an excellent choice for our mother's 80th birthday. Food, service, ambience......all these elements made the evening memorable.
One of our favourite brunch restaurants. Very good food at reasonable prices. Wonderful view and good service.
The service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious (as always) and it was the perfect romantic evening out to celebrate my birthday!
This place was a great spot for taste of Yaletown my group was stuffed by the time desert rolled around and we all agreed that the decor very much matched the French styling. The dense fog outside gave the pier a spooky feeling which is great for October. Can't wait to try their West 10th location
We went for the "autumn special" menu, however, group members chose broadly from the rich regular menu, and all of the meals were served in a compatible style and pace. We stayed long, and had a memorable celebration.
We were a group of 3, out for a special evening. We enjoyed great service and excellent food! Will definitely return.
For my girlfriend and I, this is our standing pick for our lunch together. Loca/view, service, food, all very pleasant and enjoyable. Because it's so bright, it's a great place to go for lunch on a rainy Vancouver day. Service is always attentive and pleasant. We'll be back next time!
Loved the oysters - and at a better price than most other restaurants. Antipasta delicious, especially the risotto balls. Wild mushroom ravioli with prawns also delicious. I thought we'd be too full for dessert but ordered the special, upside down pear cake with vanilla ice cream which we were very glad we ordered.
I frequently take out of town visitors -both personal and professional to Provence because the food is always very good and the tables are far apart enough to talk and be heard without raising your voice. In the summer the outdoor space is a treat with a good view of the water and the constant flow of folks from the neighborhood walking by. Always interesting specials. Very good wait staff.
Attentive service and creative food choices. Lots of options for non-meat eaters. That said, the lamb sausage and provencal chicken are superb
Whenever you can find exceptional food coupled with an "invisible", but attentive, server who allows you to enjoy both the food and your dinner guests you have found something truly exceptional......to say nothing of the inviting setting. Provence Marinaside is, for us, one of those places! Well done! Rolly
The mushroom ravioli with the white wine as opposed to the pesto) sauce was absolutely scrumptious.
The server's recommendations were right on - the honey mussels, the wine section was reasonably priced and the service was excellent. One disappointment was the Sablefish which was dry and not very flavorful. I did not enjoy it as much as I hoped to but as they say.....that's life. I would have sent it back, but my friend would have crawled under the table. She said her snapper was very good.
The wait staff were not pushing to move the process along giving more than adequate time for our group to have conversation, make decisions and not feel at all rushed. When it got to ordering, the wait staff was more than open to insuring what we ordered and had it accompanied with fit our preferences even to the extent that it was off the pages of the menu. This process really set the stage for the evening as the staff were courteous, pleasant, accommodating and professional. The price for the evening was also providing a lot of value in comparison to a similar restaurant of this calibre.

you could technicly do 1, but this is somewhat pointless, as gps accuracy is at best +- 10 m. you should set the loiter radus dependant on the plane, and wp radus dependant on your groundspeed and max bank angle. so you get nice curved turns between your 90 degree wp's
I am flying a 3dr quad. I had to change the speed of flight because it took off yesterday and overshot the target by a long ways. Thanks for the answer I was just wondering if it had reached the radius of the way point if it would think that it was there and then continue on to the next way point. With the limited amount of space I had I was trying to get it as close as possible.

Memory and PSU expert Corsair has launched today a free online survey, seeking for information from us. The company is looking to release a power supply that will have all the features we want, and for that matter is launching a survey to collect all the information needed. To get a better idea of what the customer really wants in a power supply, Corsair's online survey asks ten simple questions. No registration is needed, only a couple of minutes from your time and maybe one day you'll see "your" PSU, the way you imagined it. If you want, feel free to participate in the survey here. Source: HEXUS.net
Submitted one myself. Love having manufactures provide feedback options. Corsair's are great PSU imo.
There are two that you have to answer by ranking the categories. I messed up there and had to re-rank them before submitting.
Also most PC Power and Cooling's are rebagged Seasonics, along with Corsair, so they have similar features such as single rails.
you were supposed to rate them by importance 1-5 so 5 choices on a scale of 1-5 which is most important which is least i love my turbo cool silencers are just OCZ's
Thanks for the enlightenment. What I meant was, when you select your choice for a question and then do the same for the next, it removes your choice from the previous question (unless you select NA, eg. select "4" for a question, and select "4" again for the next question and see).
yea you can only rate 5 things on the 1-5 scale once like cables->connectors->ripple->etc your rating them from most important to least
Kind of hard to do a 5 on 1 thing and scale it down with 10 questions. To me, alot of that is important and some not so. Id like to give a 5 to a couple of choices and a 1 to a couple as well.

National Petroleum News Magazine is pleased to highlight the winners of its first annual Industry Champion Awards. After collecting a number of high-quality nominations in the preceding months selecting the winners was difficult, but ultimately the choices were clear. These awards highlight petroleum marketers and dealers who have gone above and beyond the ordinary to promote the industry's needs in Washington, their home states and local communities.
Subheading: The Legislative Leader Award
The Legislative Leader Award is open to retailers and marketers who have fought for the industry in the legislative and regulatory areas in both the federal and state arenas. This is not to downplay the role associations play in the process, or slight the others who fight hard for the industry every year. No person is an island where government relations are concerned. Rather, these awards showcase individuals who were leaders in the process who gave more time, guidance and focus in moving our team forward. Awards will be presented for each area of activism (federal and state). This year we have two federal award winners.
Sean Cota (federal)
Sean Cota is the president of Vermont-based Cota & Cota, Inc., a third generation family business marketing heating oil and motor fuels in southwest New Hampshire and southeast Vermont since 1941. Cota has served as the president of the New England Fuel Institute; vice chairman of the Petroleum Marketers Association of America; vice chairman of the National Association For Oilheat Research and Education; chairman and treasurer of the National Oilheat Research Alliance and as a member of the Energy and Environment Markets Advisory Committee for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
"I've always been involved with legislative issues, starting in the 1980s with the low income heating assistance program as one of the early issues I worked on," said Cota. "I guess growing up in Vermont, where you get to know all of your politicians; you don't have a proper respect for power and authority. If you have a problem you tell them directly and you tell them why and because they are going to see you again they are probably going to listen more than average. That inspired me to do more."
Cota was nominated for his efforts to bring to light the enhanced role financial markets and their irregularities are bringing to current fuel prices. He has worked since the mid 2000s on the issue primarily with the New England Fuel Institute and the Petroleum Marketers Association of America in a process that grew from increasing awareness to getting reform language included in the financial reform bill (Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) that was just signed into law.
"In 2004 I noticed that prices had started to change and I didn't understand why they were changing in ways that did not relate to supply and demand," said Cota. "In 2005 I pretty much confirmed that and at the time I was involved with NEFI's Legislative Committee and we pursued meetings with the New York Mercantile exchange to try and understand more about how their markets worked. And we learned a lot in the process. What we found out is that the prices were more about money flows into commodities, particularly energy at that time, rather than the fundamentals. And we knew that was a cost that the consumers were paying. In 2006 we started to pursue legislative efforts and began communicating with folks on Capitol Hill that something needed to be done. "
Cota took part in numerous testimonies before both Senate and House committees and worked with both NEFI and PMAA to see that the issue received front burner status. He continued to work in developing the legislative solution to the issue as it moved from an initial concern into policy that was established as law.
"There is no question that Sean went way, way, way over and above the call of duty," said Shane Sweet, NEFI CEO. "He spent countless hours and countless trips, by and large on his own nickel much to the time, and he was knee-deep in it from the get-go. He obviously enjoys working those issues and if anyone deserves an award it is him."
In this case it is difficult to give Cota too much credit. When he started the crusade the price of oil was not the alarming issue it became by 2008. Not only was the issue operating relatively under the radar, but the challenges to addressing this issue were monumental.
"It would have probably never gotten the attention that it did in the national arena if it was not for Sean," said PMAA President Dan Gilligan. "Sean was a voting delegate at PMAA for the state of Vermont around 2004. Sean was also a student of the futures market, though I don't think he did a tremendous amount with it at then. As time went on he began to raise the issue at our meetings that things were just not right – that prices weren't connected to the fundamentals and that we needed to start paying attention to this. At the time we were thinking, 'What in the world could we do?' You're looking at opposition like Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs. It was one of those things where I think everyone was polite with Sean, but no one really wanted to tackle this. No one really understood it as much as they would've liked to and there was an awful lot of other stuff going on at the time impacting petroleum marketers. But Sean was persistent."
As it turned out, the price of oil would soon eclipse every other issue the industry faced and become a matter of pure survival for many in the industry. With all of the challenges that exist with the Great Recession, the drop in oil prices it ushered in was a silver lining that cannot be underestimated at both the marketer and retailer levels. The groundwork laid by Cota supported PMAA and NEFI and eventually hundreds of other partners as they brought their case to Congress before and after the financial collapse. While the Financial Reform Act itself has faced some notable criticism about its overall effectiveness, the industry was able to get some solid measures in place on the energy front.
Some specifics of the new law include aggregate position limits on speculative oil traders; mandated clearing of OTC commodity derivatives; exemption of end-users (petroleum marketers for example) from clearing and margin requirements if they are doing so for commercial purposes; and Commodity Futures Trading Commission authority to regulate swaps, OTC, energy-related, and electronically-traded transactions by closing the so-called "Enron," "Swaps," and "London" or "Foreign Exchange" loopholes.Financial institutions would also have to separate their commodity derivatives trades into a separately capitalized entity walled off from federally insured deposits. This will essentially reduce the amount of leverage speculators take in trading West Texas Intermediate crude oil, RBOB, and heating oil contracts.
For his part, Cota is more than willing to share the credit for the accomplishment. "The Financial Reform Act is a huge bill that covers a lot of areas," he said. "PMAA and NEFI were among the leaders in writing the derivatives and commodities rules. We eventually built a coalition of about 400 to 600 organizations who all supported financial reform. The important thing we did is that we were not ideologically centered in regard to do it because it's a Democratic idea or do it because it's Republican idea. We took a middle-of-the-road, rational approach to creating transparency so you know what is going on and putting in some systemic risk solutions that are a part of that."
The specific rules that will form the nuts and bolts of the regulation still have to be drafted. That process will likely continue until the end of 2011.
Bill Douglass (federal)
Douglass is the CEO of Texas-based Douglass Distributing, which employs over 280 employees and distributes commercial fuels (130,000,000 gallons of fuel annually), lubricants and propane. Its retail division now owns and operates 14 co-branded Lone Star Convenience Stores and is an Exxon Mobil "On the Run" area franchisor. Douglass has served the industry as the director, Exxon Financial Board (Tiger Mac); National Distributor Advisory Board; director Texas Petroleum and Convenience Store Association; and the director, committee chair, vice chairman, chairman, executive committee, National Association of Convenience Stores.
Douglass has been heavily involved for many years in Washington supporting the National Association of Convenience Stores and the industry on numerous issues. This was a natural for Douglass who worked in government relations for Exxon in his previous career before striking out on his own. "Bill was involved from the very beginning at NACS helping us chart our legislative mission and our positions and everything," said John Eichberger vice president of government relations for the National Association of Convenience Stores. "But beyond that he, more than probably anyone else in the past 10 years has come to Washington and met with the EPA and with members of Congress. I couldn't tell you how many times he's testified. He's always been a calm, reasonable but forceful voice."
Douglass was specifically nominated for his successful efforts to educate key members of Congress over what each entity contributes to the price of a gallon of gasoline – from the extraction and processing of crude oil to refining, marketing and retail. This started as an effort to offset action on "price gouging" legislation in the volatile early 2000s and culminated in the first major cracks in credit/debit interchange fees.
"We had an eight-hour hearing in the fall of 2004," said Douglass. "You're going to think I'm kidding, but it went so long I missed my airplane. They just kept going. It was a full house Energy and Commerce committee chaired by Joe Barton [R -TX]. They brought us there to fry us, to be honest with you, because we were 'price gougers.' The hearing was on C-SPAN, and whenever you have C-SPAN, you know it's a public display. If they really want to know information, they invite you in privately."
Price gouging accusations were a notable issue at the time. There was little leeway between distributable supply and demand, particularly during peak seasons. Further complicating things was the "balkanization" of the gasoline supply with numerous EPA Clean Air Act approved (and not necessarily interchangeable) fuel blends being mandated in local markets. As a result any refinery fire, pipeline break or Gulf Coast hurricane (Katrina and Rita being the most notable examples) would have an impact, at least regionally, on supply and the price of gasoline. The swings would be severe and immediate and to the public, media and local and federal politicians – difficult to understand. While this remains an issue today, the role financial markets play in setting the price of gasoline has eclipsed such short-term supply and demand concerns as a front-burner issue.
"Chairman Barton looked me in the eye and said he had (one of my) stores across from his office and he noted the price went up $.10 Tuesday and I think it went up another $.10 on Thursday," Douglass said. "And I said, 'Mr. Chairman, my price went up $.50.' Barton didn't call me a liar, but he looked at me like – sure. He just felt that my retailer was gouging. The reality was the retailer didn't even get replacement cost. They invited in the refiners and an economic watchdog group and the retailers. They somewhat expected that the refiners were gouging and the retailers were gouging. But I brought in a bunch of charts and I showed them starting with the shareholders and moving down through the producers and refiners and credit card companies and marketers and showed how each one was making per gallon moving forward to establishing the retail price of gasoline. I decided to leave the government and its piece out of it for self-defense."
Eichberger remembers the hearing well. "On the panel you had Bill Douglass, you had the pipelines, you had the API, you had NPRA and you had a consumer group," he said. "And Bill Douglas presented the case for our industry in terms of how we operate more specifically and more effectively than anyone has ever done before or after, in my opinion. This is why our margins are so slim and this is why we have no control over the price. We have a cost and our margins are just a couple of pennies above the cost.
"But during that hearing Bill also introduced Congress to credit card fees and at that point Chairman Barton looked up and said, 'Wait a second. Let me see if I've got this right. Every time someone buys a gallon of gas the banks make more than you do?' And Bill said, 'Yes, Mr. Chairman.' And Barton went, 'That's not right!' And from that point on – it was like a couple of weeks later – the 2005 energy bill was being voted on and we were able to get an amendment in it telling the FTC to do a study on the relationship between energy fees and gas prices. It got stripped out, but that was the first shot across the bow."
As NACS has publicized, for some years now interchange fees have ranked as one of the top issues facing the industry. Swipe fees have been the convenience and petroleum retailing industry's top pain point and second largest expense item — behind only labor costs — for a number of years. "We (as a company) pay $1 million in credit card fees, and what do they do? If there's fraud they charge it back. It's bizarre," said Douglass.
Provisions within the financial reform bill (Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), known as the Durbin Amendment, direct the Federal Reserve to issue rules to ensure that debit card interchange fees, also known as swipe fees, are reasonable and proportional to the processing costs incurred. Visa and MasterCard currently charge debit swipe fees of around 1 percent to 2 percent of the transaction amount — among the highest rates in the industrialized world.
The legislation includes a provision directing the Federal Reserve to issue rules preventing card networks from requiring that their debit cards can only be used on one debit card network — ensuring that retailers will have the choice of at least two networks upon which to run debit transactions. In addition, the amendment would allow merchants to choose to decline credit cards for small dollar purchases because swipe fees often exceed profits on such sales. The amendment also clarifies that retailers can offer discounts to consumers who choose to pay with cash, check or debit card.
Mike Newman (state)
Mike Newman is executive vice president of New York-based NOCO Energy Corp. serving western New York, Canada and New England. NOCO distributes a full line of commercial fuels, industrial lubricants, bio-products, home energy fuels, and heating & cooling systems and service. NOCO now also provides natural gas and electricity to residential and commercial customers in New York State. The company also operates more than 30 NOCO Express convenience stores throughout western New York.
Newman directly oversees the NOCO Retail Division, including NOCO Express, NOCO Real Estate, and NOCO Franchising. He is also involved with the Amherst Chamber of Commerce; New York Association of Convenience Stores; Buffalo Niagara Enterprise; Erie County Charter Review Commission; and the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America. Newman is a member of The Enforce the Law, Collect the Tax Coalition that is calling on Governor David Paterson to enforce the law and collect taxes from cigarette sales on Native American Territories. His brother Jim Newman serves as NOCO Energy Corp. president.
Newman has been a leading figure representing the industry in the fight against the non-taxed Native American sales of tobacco products in New York. He has worked in conjunction with his brother Jim Newman (who he credits equally) representing the interests of NOCO Express and with the staff and fellow members of the New York Association of Convenience Stores looking out for the interests of the industry in the state.
He Newman is in his second year as NYACS chairman and has been involved in all legislative activities for the past eight years. As a company, NOCO has been involved for many years beyond that. "This is really about what our parents have always said about not standing on the sidelines complaining," Newman said. "If you want to see change or protect your interests you have to be involved. It's not a passive game by any stretch of the imagination. Our parents were very instrumental in our involvement."
His activities with the media are particularly notable. "He has held press conferences in the store and held interviews with newspapers and radio stations," said James Calvin, NYACS president. "He has appeared at meetings and has worked to inform the public about how they are impacted by the situation."
The Native American reservation issue is only one part, but a major one, in the tax issues faced in New York. The primary point of contention is that any tax breaks on the reservation should only be applied to Native Americans and not the general public. There has long been sympathy for the plight of Native Americans and the desire to continue to "make things right." Similarly, cheaper cigarettes (approaching $5 per pack) have a strong appeal among the smoking public. And, the Native American lobby has been generous with its political funding in the state in amounts that far outreach the industry's resources. However, though the education process perceptions have started to change.
"It's a misnomer that this is a tax-free sale," Newman said. "On a PR basis this tax-free thing has a degree of appeal. But if the budget doesn't change then the revenue is simply redistributed among all the other residents of New York that pay taxes. Our state association estimates some $1 billion in tax revenue that is redistributed amongst the citizens of New York. Even if you do not smoke you are subsidizing cigarettes on the reservation because if the state government can't collect those taxes on cigarettes sales they will make it up somewhere else."
Calvin underscores the team effort that has been involved on the issue, but credits Newman with his insight and his attitude in pushing the industry to keep fighting even though it can be a frustrating process where the opposition holds many advantages.
"I don't blame the consumer for finding cheap cigarettes when there is (nearly) a five dollar difference per pack and I don't even blame the Native Americans for taking advantage of the system," said Newman. "Our state simply has a dysfunctional tax situation. People still recognize our hardship and I think some of them feel bad for us in some regard but there's also a great deal of sympathy for the plight of the Native Americans on the reservations and that history. But when they hear tax-free and you have that five dollar per pack difference—who doesn't want that? Quite honestly that has great appeal. The real point is that it is the state's tax policy that has hurt our business and that is the only issue at play here. If I was a Native American I would be doing the same thing in taking advantage of whatever retail opportunities I could. But the state has really dropped the ball and failed to remedy this."
The efforts made by Newman and his peers and the NYACS staff have recently achieved some guarded success. As reported at Buffalonews.com, New York Gov. David Paterson recently renewed a pledge to collect taxes on cigarettes sold by Native Americans. The situation is so tense that he acknowledged that "violence and death" might result for this action. The mechanism would be up front through the wholesalers that supply the reservations. While this is an industry cause for celebration Newman is cautious. "I suppose I'm overall more skeptical than ever," he said. "I see them using the courts to keep it tied up and they have the resources to do that. But I have to think at some point the state is going to step up and say we can't afford to not do this. All of these lost taxes are simply killing our budget and I don't think they have the freedom anymore."
Subheading: The Community Leader Award
The Community Leader Award is a company-specific award open to retailers and marketers that have made a substantial effort to support worthy causes in the communities in which they do business.
Carter Energy
For 50 years Kansas-based CarterEnergy has had a history of being an innovative leader and trend-setter in the petroleum marketing business. They currently supply gasoline, diesel and bio-fuels to over 1200 retail and commercial customers in 11 states, and operate a fleet of fuel distribution trucks in 4 states.
What may not be as widely known, however, is that CarterEnergy is also a leader in philanthropy, with a long history of corporate giving combined with associate giving and volunteerism. They, along with their 140 associates, support a wide variety of not-for-profit causes, selecting those that support their local communities such as homeless and battered women's shelters; those that support national causes such as the American Cancer Society and the Special Olympics; those that support global causes such as the Aga Kahn Foundation; and those that support scholarship and education such as the American Royal. "Bryan Beaver, the CEO and president of CarterEnergy, has always had a firm belief that you give back to the communities that make you a thriving business," said Kerry Oliver, CarterEnergy's executive vice president and general manager. "We do that in two ways. The first is volunteerism and the second is financial support."
To celebrate its 50th Anniversary this year, Beaver asked the company to come up with a concept that would not focus on the past, but on the future. In this vein, CarterEnergy developed
its "What Will Fuel the Future?" RoadShow which visited public events and schools throughout the Dallas,Oklahoma City, Denver and Kansas City areas. This multiyear celebration is designed to give back to those to whom they credit their long-term success-namely their associates,
customers and communities. "This is entirely tied into our culture,"Oliver said. "We have six core values and the top core value is strong relationships. We respect the communities in which we do business and this is our way of upholding our end of the strong relationship."
The Roadshow, housed in a 34 foot trailer, seeks to stimulate adults and children of all ages to think about one of the biggest questions in society today: "What kinds of energy will be needed to fuel the future?" It is focused on both traditional and alternative energy sources and educates the public via 6 hands-on and interactive exhibits. Once visitors have traveled through the trailer, they are invited to test their knowledge at the "Energy
Interactive", which then earns them a Pit Pass to participate in the highly popular "Fuels of the Future Racing Game," featuring remote-controlled cars. So far, the RoadShow has visited 33 different events with some 23,000 visitors. One of the amazing things about this program is that the entire staffing for the RoadShow has been provided by Carter associates, friends and family - which equates to over 1900 hours of service, above and beyond what the associates regularly do.
On Carter's corresponding website, www.WhatWillFueltheFuture.com, they provide McREL standards- based energy curriculum for grades K-8, which teachers can download to use in conjunction with a RoadShow visit or as stand-alone learning. The interactive website also features a "Virtual RoadShow" for those guests who may not have had the opportunity to experience the real thing. The combination of the RoadShow and the website provides both education, fun and good community relations-a win/win for the company, the community and the industry.
Visitors to our website are invited to upload their picture and comment on what they think will fuel the future," said Oliver. She noted that the company tracks those comments for business intelligence on the perceptions of the public and to mine ideas for the future direction of the company.
The entire "What Will Fuel the Future?" program is focused more on education than on company promotion.
"We only have CarterEnergy branding in a couple of places," said Oliver. This lends credibility to the educational component and assures schools that, by bringing the RoadShow to their students, they are not exposing themselves to a big advertising campaign. "Most of the visitors don't directly relate to CarterEnergy because we are not a consumer brand.
You only know our name if you are in the industry."However, the company did receive sponsorships from some of its suppliers and vendors.
The feedback from Carter's customers has also been positive. A retailer can arrange for the RoadShow to visit their location.
"Our customers love it," said Oliver. "Our goal is to help our customers create a well-planned customer appreciation event that will drive business and customer loyalty to their store, as well as to help them create goodwill in their communities."
The retailer must meet certain criteria in order to be considered for a RoadShow visit including promotional and advertising efforts to make sure there good attendance for the visit.
Another component of the 50th year celebration was the creation of the Fueling the Future Educational foundation that Bryan and Nancy Beaver set up to provide scholarships for Carter's associates and their children.
This project is developed to run for three years and will be evaluated at the end of that time to see if it will be continued or redesigned.

Dudley pleads guilty to drug charges
An Adams man pleaded guilty this morning in Berkshire Superior Court on drug charges. 40 year old SID EUGENE DUDLEY appeared before Judge Daniel Ford.
DUDLEY pleaded guilty to one (1) count of POSSESSION OF HEROIN WITH INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE, one (1) count of POSSESSION OF COCAINE WITH INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE and two (2) counts of CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE DRUG LAWS. Judge Ford ordered that he serve concurrent 2 to 3 year state prison sentences at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Cedar Junction.
The charges stem from the execution of a search warrant at 99 Howland Avenue, in Adams, on August 10, 2012.
One (1) count of BEING PRESENT WHERE HEROIN IS KEPT was dismissed at the request of the Commonwealth.
The investigation was conducted by members of the Adams, Lanesborough, North Adams and Pittsfield Police Departments and state troopers assigned to the District Attorney's Office, members of the Berkshire County Drug Task Force.

Chris Burns and I (a.k.a. Party Bros.) had the pleasure of remixing 80s legends The System. They're putting out a new album after all these years, and "Motha" is going to be the first single. Free download!
And if you weren't previously familiar with The System, here's a couple of their best known jams. I've heard that Chromeo is obsessed with them… pretty obvious why that's the case based on this evidence:

Well yesterday, I had an awesome flat tire, as a nail went through the top of the tire all the way through the inside sidewall. Yeah, new tire time.
I hate tires. I always have crap luck with them.
Still, it could have easily been a blow out with that kind of damage, so I'm glad it's all taken care of.
Meanwhile, I really need to get working, so off we go.

Recently I was invited to lunch by someone who had a business idea to share and wanted to "pick my brain" about it (a phrase I detest: when I hear it, I often ask people to visualize that!). After several back-and-forth e-mails, we finally set up a date to meet and discuss the idea, at a place that he chose.
After 90 minutes of conversation, during which my brain was thoroughly "picked," we wrapped it up. The check came and I watched as the waiter put it in the middle of the table.
My host didn't move, and after a few minutes I said, "Thank you again for the invitation, and I hope our conversation was helpful." He said it was; yet still no sign of life from his hand to pick up the check.
Since time was tight — I had to leave for another meeting — I finally reached over and said, Shall we split it?" which we did. I left feeling a bit taken, but it was not the money, it was the principle. He had asked me to lunch and had asked for my advice. It seemed obvious to me that he should have picked up the check.
To prevent this from happening to you, and to make sure you yourself never commit this kind of business etiquette faux pas, heed the following:
1. If you invite, YOU are the host. Be prepared to pay, or at the very least offer to pay.
2. Discuss in advance: "Lets have lunch" is different than "I'd like to take you to lunch." "Take" implies that you are the host. If you are going with a friend, arrange a dutch treat in advance.
3. Be a mensch: If you have invited someone to spend time and you learn from them or get help, be prepared to pay the bill.
4. Set the scene: If you are the host, pick the place according to your budget. Get there early and let the waiter know or give them your credit card in advance so it is not an issue.
5. If you want advice or input from someone but you are on a tight budget, opt for breakfast or even a cup of coffee — it is cheaper and quicker.

Exxon has once again surpassed Apple as the world's most valuable company after the iPhone and
iPad maker saw its stock price falter.
Apple Inc.'s stock has been on the decline since the company's quarterly earnings report
Wednesday suggested that its fast growth phase, rare for a company of its size, may be coming to an
Apple's stock dropped 2.4 percent to $439.51 in midday trading today for a market
capitalization of $412.7 billion. That followed a 12 percent drop on yesterday, the biggest one-day
percentage drop for the company since 2008.
Exxon Mobil Corp. gained 22 cents today to $91.57 for a market capitalization of $417.5
Apple first surpassed Exxon in the summer of 2011. The two companies traded places through
that fall, until Apple surpassed Exxon for good in early 2012 - at least until today.
Apple's stock price peaked in September at $705.07 on the day the iPhone 5 was released.
Exxon, in the meantime, has been trading steady. Its business - oil - seems less prone to stock
market ups and downs than the Cupertino, Calif.-based tech darling.
This year, investors seem unforgiving with Apple, looking for perfection and punishing the
stock for anything less. The company's stock price slipped below $500 for the first time last week,
as investors saw signs that the iPhone 5 was falling behind competition from phones running
Google's Android software, especially those from Samsung Electronics Co.
The latest quarterly report added to the concerns. Apple warned that its revenue growth,
which had been running at a speed more reminiscent of promising startups than multi-national
corporations, is slowing down considerably.
A big reason: It has been nearly three years since a new product has come from a company
still seen as the embodiment of innovation. That last product, the iPad, came in 2010, when its CEO
Steve Jobs was still alive. Some analysts question whether Apple can keep growing by just releasing
new versions of its old products. The long-rumored Apple TV, is still just that, a rumor.

Flights & Fancy: The El Toro Follies
Whimsy, nostalgia, and just plain mischief
- By Michael Church
- Air & Space magazine, July 2008
Michael Church
El Toro is a Marine Corps Air Station near Irvine, California, with a fabled history—think Helldivers, Wildcats, Phantoms, and Hornets. Created in 1942 out of World War II pressures to train pilots for the South Pacific, the base uprooted the largest lima bean field in North America. The first pilot to use the facility was a Major Carmichael, who made an emergency landing while the base was still under construction. I have the honor to have been the last pilot of a fixed-wing aircraft to take off from Marine Corps Air Station El Toro. My ride was more tame: a Cessna 152, and in 2007 the base had a decidedly ragtag appearance.
After the war, El Toro grew into the West Coast's center of Marine aviation. The base was closed in 1999 and, after years of wrangling over its future, now sits idle, awaiting conversion to a "Great Park" of residences, golf courses, schools, and parkland. Its only tenants are security personnel, parked RVs, and an enterprise that photographs expensive foreign cars.
Although I never flew for any branch of the military, I have a connection to the base. For 15 years, our flight school, Sunrise Aviation, ferried aircraft seven miles from Orange County Airport to participate in the annual Marine Corps airshow at El Toro. Some 400,000 attendees showed up each day to bask in the sun and take in the sights and sounds of a major military spectacle.
The Marines were gracious hosts. On our school's first visit, our Pitts Special attempted to taxi across the heavy arresting cable used for carrier landing practice. The tailwheel assembly hung up on the cable and the pilot sat helpless on the runway until several Marines in camouflage ran over to lift the airplane clear. I was concerned their enthusiasm might inadvertently cause damage—they're used to wrestling with heavier and sturdier machines—but the rescue went smoothly.
On another occasion, we watched as a Navy F-14 pilot arrived late for the static display line and pivoted neatly to position his jet into its parking spot. In the turn, the jet blast caught a line of 10 blue Porta-Potties and tipped them over, occupants and all. In response to a chorus of outraged shouts, camouflaged Marines again sprang to the rescue.
One year a semi-trailer filled with beer was left parked on the shoulder of a taxiway. As the paving softened in the sun, the trailer began to list. The situation developed beyond even the Marines' resources: As majestic as the Titanic, the trailer slowly succumbed and rolled over, refrigeration unit still pumping, gallons of suds leaking into the California scrub.
El Toro even had a role in the 1996 movie Independence Day, as the base from which F/A-18 pilot Steve Hiller (Will Smith) departs to bag an alien ("Who's the man? Huh? WHO'S the man?") and also served as the point of departure for the flying-wing bomber that nuked the invading Martians in 1953's War of the Worlds.
Memories like these made me chuckle as I taxied the little Cessna over concrete seams sprouting weeds. Two days earlier, an instructor had made an emergency landing on the base, and we had just persuaded the city government to let us take off from the field after we repaired the airplane. It had been an uphill battle: The city would not grant permission without the Federal Aviation Administration's blessing, and the FAA wanted nothing to do with any of it ("That's not an airport, and it's not our job!") and recommended the city make us crate up the airplane and truck it out. Only after I suggested that chore might require months did the city acknowledge that El Toro might be an airport after all, if only for 15 minutes.

Over a period of 10 years (Off and on ) I flew AD, T33B,T1A, F9, (Panthers and Cougars), F4D, F8U, RF4, F4B, F4J, and A4 out of El Toro. Saddleback Mt was too clost to the airfield.

Two tours at El Toro (1960-63 and 1965) were a lifetime of experience! Flying and trips down Laguna Canyon Road and days and nights at The Sandpiper Restaurant were unbelievable! Siera Hotel---if you know what that means. Press on and Semper Fi!

I served two tours at El Toro (1972-1975, 1991-1994), both at the Air Freight and Passenger terminal as a private and the later as the SNCOIC. Some of the best years of my 27 year career were spent working the terminal. The early years we did the presidential support for Nixon, and as a young hard-charger, it was great. I was at the terminal in 1993 when the word was announced about the closure. t pressed on.
Today, years after the closure, and my retirement, I still have to fight back the tears when I see old pics and hear stories about the 'bull'. We miss you MCAS, we truly do!!

In view of +ve divergences appearing in many stocks and some indices, a bounce is expected. Earlier 5110-5160 has acted as strong support and the same may be attempted.
A "Pause" in the fall, "profit booking by Bears" for few days.
AAR VEE's ANALYSIS:
1."TOPI" target ,as mentioned in last Weekend Analysis achieved.
2. Nifty took support near the Weekly and Daily Channel Bottom and 78.6% retrace levels of the 4675-5399 upmove.(see last Weekend charts)
3. Firm Downtrend continues with the closing price of 4931 below all Monthly,Weekly and Daily Close 5EMA.
1.Nifty in firm Downtrend below even 3dema (4952) and that being bearishly aligned with 7dema (5007),moving in a channel pattern.
2.The Basic Indicators, Stochs(5,3), Rsi (9), MACD in Daily charts are in Oversold positions with no apparent signs of a reversal. The Indicators in Weekly charts, Stochs(5,3), yet to exhaust in Oversold region , Rsi (14), below 50 at lowest levels in one Year and MACD in sell mode ,indicate further downside.
3.The Tech Table shows that rallies to Daily 5dema at 4982 and Weekly Low ema at 5017 may get sold into. Bullishness to come only on close above Daily high ema of 5020.Major resistance is at Monthly close ema of 5047. Important level of 200dma is at 4995 .5D Volume Profile chart shows a resistance at 5000-5010 levels.
So ,next week,the Resistance zone will be 4985-5020.
Supports are at Monthly Low ema of 4873, 2D low at 4844, Weekly Pivot S1 at 4814 and Channel Bottom Trendlines near 4800 zone .
So ,next week, the Support zone will be 4800-4850.
Now , till there is a close above 5050 ,the Mantra should be Sell on Rallies rather than Buy on Dips.
1.The Nifty Futures Open Interest of May series is at the highest level (2.967 Cr.), of the total series.The Daily Volume Profile and long tails of the Candles in Daily charts indicate that there has been buying at lower levels during last week.
The Next Week being the Series Rollover and Expiry one , if the markets start trading below 4850 levels ,the overall Bearish TA along with high open interest can bring panic closing of the longs in the system and even break 4800 levels to trade below it with target of 4760(ABC pattern),&4725(23.6% retrace of total upmove from March 09 to April 10).
2.Caution should be taken against forming Positional Longs or even carrying BTST Longs till the TA shows firm reversal by the prices closing above Daily Ema ,Positive diversion in Indicators and Bullish aligning of Moving Averages.Refrain from taking long positions based on any Indicator till the Price indicates in the Tech Table to do so. Now till there is a firm reversal ,remain with the Trend and enjoy the slide.
Make 'Hay' while the things are going 'Hay'wire
The 2 Year Nifty chart shows that on last trading day the 5Dema crossed 200Dma Bearishly ,(from above) .This is happening for the first time after March 2008. Is it the sign of paradigm shift in Market Structure?
Is it the first sign for the "End of The Days" ?.
WEEK: Nifty closes below weekly channel, however another channel with bottom at 4800 is yet to be broken.
Weekly trend wud change on close above 5082 and downtrend pauses at 5017 (week low ema). Weekly 5d has reached o/s but 15 d is 43, 5d yet to turn up. Nifty yet to close below 50 wma.
DAY: Nifty 5 day ma crossed below 200 dma, 5 and 10 dma crossed 50 dma 20 yet to cross.
OPEN INTEREST: Nifty future oi increasing says that shortcovering yet to happen. ( Bad news for shorts)
BEARISH: The main bearish factors are trade below moving average.
BULLISH: Bullish factors are
1) Bullish counterattack line in daily
2) Positive divergence in daily and price close above lema
3) Breaking wedge with positive divergenvce in hourly
4) Oi increasing with prices moving up ( short covering not happened yet)
5) Options mildly bullish.

New to the site and somewhat new to atheisim. Most of my adult life I guess I was agnostic and over the past year I had some events in my life that caused me to look at my beliefs. Once I looked at what I was raised to believe with a skeptical mind, I decided to embrace atheism.
Since then I have had a craving for knowledge like no other point in my life. I have read a obscene abount of books in a rather short time span. The majority of my family are Christians and I have been slowly "coming out" to the ones that I think will be more accepting. I have found myself in a rather lonely place in life because I want to engage with like minded people but I have a shortage of them in the "real world." That is what brought me to this site. Looking for more people that will understand and at least sometimes agree with my views.
I feel much like the first kid in a class that learns Santa isn't real. Up until now I just keep it to myself and giggle at the other kids who see a half eaten cookie as proof in flying deer.
Hello Hook,
Welcome to the group! If you ever want to discuss something philosophical or get a book suggestion, just add me and I will happy to provide the other side of a conversation.You should find the people on TA to be very friendly and welcoming. I hope everything goes well for you.

Christmas shopping can be about more than hitting the malls. There are some wonderful shopping experiences outside the city. Combine your shopping with lunch and a drive through the country, an educational visit to a woolen mill or a trip to a museum.
PaSu Farm ia a working sheep farm and has a great boutique which sells a range of moccasins, fine wool fashions, sheepskin coats, hides, blankets and other products, made locally and from around the world. You can then enjoy a meal in their restaurant, with a view of the Rockies on a sunny day. They are also offerning a dinner theatre in December. The farm is located north of Calgary a short distance west from the Queen Elizabeth Highway, off Secondary Highway 580, with lots of signs to lead you there.
Custom Woolen Mills is another great place to visit and shop. They produce woolen and exotic fiber products, such as carded wools, rovings, spinning balls, batts, wool yarns, knitting kits, socks, comforters, mattress pads and hand-woven blankets. Not only are the products produced on-site, but this is a working museum, using industrial revolution machinery. Take time to do the self-guided tour. According to their web site, they are only open 9:00 - 3:00, Monday to Friday. Go north on Highway 2, turn east at Highway 582 and follow the signs.
Saskatoon Farm is another fun place that is out of the city to do a little Christmas shopping. During the summer, the farm is noted for their saskatoon berries. This time of year they have a nice gift shop and cafe.
If you are in the mood to go further afield, the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller has a wonderful gift shop with all things dinosaur. A visit to Drumheller makes a great day trip for the family and you can do some Christmas shopping while you are there. One of our staff members shared her impressions of the museum in "Walking with the Dinosaurs".
If you would like to take the road less travelled as you are on your daytrip, why not check out these books, Back Roads of Southern Alberta or Day Trips from Calgary.
