Authorizes and limits casino gambling in the county of Sullivan; provides that amounts offered as prizes for games shall be subject to the approval of the legislature which periodically shall revise prize levels as it deems necessary.
TITLE OF BILL: CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to section 9 of article 1 of the constitution, in relation to authorizing and limiting casino gambling in Sullivan county
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To permit the construction and operation of no more than three privately owned casinos in Sullivan County and to expand allowable forms of gambling.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 9 of article 1 of the Constitution to authorize by the Legislature for up to three privately owned casinos in Sullivan County and expands wagering permitted at those casinos to include all forms of gambling unusually associated with casinos, including pari-mutuel betting on horse races, as well as wagering on professional sports provided that such authorizations shall be preceded by local approval, resulting from passage of a single county-wide referendum.
EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW WHICH THIS BILL WOULD ALTER: The State Constitution prohibits gambling of any kind unless specifically permitted by an amendment.
JUSTIFICATION: The Catskill region is in dire need of economic revitalization of its once thriving tourism industry. Although the Legislature authorized the construction and operation of three Native American Tribal casinos in Sullivan and Ulster Counties in 2001 to spur economic growth, none have materialized. Therefore, it is time for the Legislature to authorize the construction and operation of casinos by other than Native American Tribal entrepreneurs to create the economic stimulus and job creation the region so desperately needs.
This Concurrent resolution will allow the construction and operation of three casinos in Sullivan County and will assist in revitalizing the Catskill region's economy.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S.633 of 2009: Referred to Senate Judiciary Committee
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That the foregoing amendments be referred to the first regular legislative session convening after the next succeeding general election of members of the assembly, and, in conformity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, any city, town or village within the state may by an approving vote of the majori- ty of the qualified electors in such municipality voting on a proposi- tion therefor submitted at a general or special election authorize, subject to state legislative supervision and control, the conduct of one or both of the following categories of games of chance commonly known as: (a) bingo or lotto, in which prizes are awarded on the basis of designated numbers or symbols on a card conforming to numbers or symbols selected at random; (b) games in which prizes are awarded on the basis of a winning number or numbers, color or colors, or symbol or symbols determined by chance from among those previously selected or played, whether determined as the result of the spinning of a wheel, a drawing or otherwise by chance.

Unless permitted by the legislature, no municipality shall have the power to pass local laws or ordinances relating to such games. Nothing in this section shall prevent the legislature from pass- ing laws more restrictive than any of the provisions of this section. S 2.

What do you do with a space that's bigger than an alcove, but not quite a room? The answer is that you could do just about anything with it. Imagination is the key.
Design Consultant Monika Kerstens tackles a tough challenge with style.
For a lot of people, their image of wall beds is woefully outdated. Wall beds are not comedy fodder like they were in the days of silent movies.
Clean lines, bold colors, modern styling. These are the hallmarks of wall beds today.
I had to laugh recently as I was showing a client around our showroom.
We stopped in front of a display that had been left in the "closed" position. She looked over at the unit and exclaimed, "Oh! Is that one of those wonderful shoe cabinets?"
We've talked before about how wall beds can help you get more space out of your small space.
In an article in the Wall Street Journal this week, our chief organization officer Ginny Snook Scott explains why wall beds (or Murphy beds, as they're commonly known) are a smart and popular design solution for many homeowners:
New York and other major metropolitan cities are known for their small living spaces, but that doesn't have to mean clutter, disorganization or discomfort! When you master the art of creating multi-use spaces, you can enjoy your living space in any situation!
Ginny Snook Scott, our chief organization officer, gives you three ways to get more space out of your small space.

Phono Solar Expects China Market to Grow Faster in Second Half
June 13 (Bloomberg) -- Phono Solar Technology Co., a Chinese state-owned solar-panel maker, expects growth in its home market to speed up in the coming six months.
Phono Solar targets global sales of about 400 megawatts of solar modules this year after selling about 300 megawatts in 2011, said Eric Yuan, the company's marketing director. The company seeks by the end of the month to determine whether to increase its production capacity of 450 megawatts.
"The Chinese solar market grew fast in the first and second quarter," Yuan said today in an interview on the sidelines of the Intersolar conference in Munich. "It will even grow faster in the second half of the year."
Phono Solar, which has about 500 employees, last month said it would team with Suntech Power Holdings Co. to jointly develop projects in China, plans 50 megawatts of solar farms this year in China's eastern provinces of Jiangsu and Shandong and the northwestern region of Xinjiang.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
I was sitting on my couch writing the exploits of my latest river trip when I spotted him. He was sitting in front of one of my neighbors houses, in the shade, something out of place in my quiet little piece of the world.
We've had a few new faces on our block so I just filed him away in my mind and glanced out once in a while to see what he was up to. In about a half hour I was in the kitchen getting a glass of water when I saw him walk up my driveway to knock on my door.
In the minute it took me to walk across my living room he had knocked and rung my door bell twice. I cautiously answered the door wishing I had taken the time to let my big, black dog inside.
I never got his name. I moved outside to talk to him, knowing my neighbor across the street was probably watching. He said he was in a contest to win a trip to Washington DC. Basically he was selling magazines and wanted to know if he could get my name and phone number so his supervisor could check on his selling skills.
He could also win a $1,000 scholarship and he was planning to go to a college in Colorado. I listened, but told him I didn't need any more magazines.
Oh, but I could buy a subscription and donate it to the hospital of my choice. So then he told me I could just write a check like my other neighbor had.
As he showed me the form I needed to fill out I began to get a bit more skeptical. How would I ever know that the check I wrote to this independent youth promotions group would even make sure the magazines would get to the hospital patients of my choice.
He showed me a receipt I would get but it didn't satisfy me. I asked him if he had anything from our city allowing him to solicit here. He pulled out a laminated card. I read this vague, but official looking laminated card only to feel less assured than ever.
He tried to tell me that a police officer from Price had looked at the card and felt satisfied. I wasn't convinced. The only city I saw listed was Philadelphia. There was a heading of something about solicitation, but I couldn't see how they had obtained permission to go door to door here in Price.
I told him to come back in an hour after I called Price City. I also asked if I could have the blank receipt he had handed me to reassure me he was legit. He got a look of panic and said he had to account for each and every receipt or be fined a big amount by his employer.
He left, promising to come back. I never saw him again.
Price City officials were all out for the day when I attempted to track down this company. I called the Chamber of Commerce and they said they didn't issue blue cards for soliciting any more.
I don't know what the current status is in our community for door to door solicitors, but I urge you all to be wary and careful. This kid may have been truly working at a legitimate business, but I will never know.
There are a lot of people trying to take your money. Make sure you are sure when you write a check for your self or charity that it is legitimate.

Christmas memories linger as a new year begins
By W.WINSTON SKINNER
The Christmas season has passed, but memories of the season linger.
Coweta churches held their usual celebrations of the season – cantatas, plays, dinners, outreach projects. In many churches candles were lighted on an Advent wreath each Sunday in December, and music relating to the coming of Christ was featured in services.
While preparations for Christmas continued at Southside Baptist Church near Moreland, the horrific events in Connecticut also were incorporated into worship there. "I brought it out in my message and the Sunday School teachers did, also," Carl Calhoun, pastor of the church, said.
The Christmas-Advent season got its start several weeks before the Dec. 25 observance. Several churches held Hanging of the Greens services – combining music and worship with traditions for decorating with greenery.
Luthersville United Methodist Church held its Hanging of the Greens on the morning of Dec. 2.
Church groups took part in Christmas parades in Newnan, Grantville and Haralson. Members of WellSpring Church donned their WellSpring T-shirts to walk together in the Senoia Christmas Parade, gathering in front of the Senoia Post Office for the event.
A Service of Lessons and Carols was held at Allen-Lee Memorial United Methodist Church in Lone Oak on Dec. 9. Readers were Jeanne Carter, Stuart Crosby, Brian Ferrell, Gail Gordon, Nancy Lee, Lynn Skinner, Monty Strickland and John Strube.
The Allen-Lee Singers sang "He Is Born." There were two a capella solos – "Mary, Did You Know?" by Jeanne Carter and "Glory Be, Glory Be" by Winston Skinner.
Elizabeth Elliott played "Good King Wenceslas" and "The Little Drummer Boy" as flute solos, and Maelynn Strickland played "Carol of the Bells" as a piano solo. Ann Johnson was the accompanist for the congregational carols.
Emory Chapel United Methodist Church at Dresden presented a musical-drama, "The Greatest Gift of All," on Dec. 16. Elaine Lee directed the program, and refreshments were served after the play.
Some church groups planned an outing as a way to add to the festive time of year. The Woman's Missionary Union of Sunnyside Baptist Church traveled to Atlanta to visit the Governor's Mansion on Dec. 5.
"It was really worth seeing with all the Christmas decorations," Linda Pike said. "They also have chorus groups from different schools singing and orchestra students also performing."
Providence Baptist's children's department put together a skating trip for the younger set. Pizza was also part of the fun.
Congregations found ways to help others – nearby and far away – during the Yule season. A Lottie Moon Christmas Dinner was held at Heatherhood Baptist Church on Dec. 2. Heatherwood was among many Southern Baptist churches focusing on the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, which funds international mission work, during December.
The sixth annual Children's Chair-ity Event was held Dec. 6 at the Dolce Conference Center in Peachtree City. The evening event was orchestrated by a group of dedicated volunteers to raise money for the Children's Village at Christian City, which cares for abandoned and abused children with no other place to go.
Members of Providence Baptist Church on Providence Church Road continued their outreach to the students at Western Elementary School. Volunteers gathered in the church fellowship on the morning of Dec. 10 to make "Christmas cookies for the children in the Good News Club" at Western, according to church secretary Jill Elder. The goal was to bake about 400 cookies.
The season began with putting up Christmas decorations, and it comes to an end with putting away those special items until next Advent. Volunteers gathered at Providence Baptist to put away decorations on Wednesday afternoon.
An "Undecorate the Church" event will be held today at 9 a.m. at Allen-Lee Methodist in Lone Oak.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The UD National Alumni Board has announced its annual list of distinguished alumni. The 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients, who will be honored during a reception and dinner on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Las Colinas Country Club, are Bishop Michael Duca, Michelle Accardi and Sonia Kirkpatrick. Michael Schwartz will be recognized posthumously.
The Distinguished Alumni Awards recognize UD alumni who have demonstrated sustained, distinguished accomplishment and contribution to any field of human endeavor. The award is the highest honor the university can bestow on an alumna or alumnus.
Catholic Diocese of Shreveport (La.) Bishop Michael Duca has dedicated his life to making the Gospel accessible to others, especially through his ministry to young adults. Prior to answering Pope Benedict XVI's call to lead the Shreveport diocese, he was rector of nearby Holy Trinity Seminary, which he attended from 1970-78. During his time there, he earned bachelor's and master of divinity degrees from the university in 1974 and 1978.
Michelle Accardi, director of state policy and advocacy for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, first felt the call to educate children, especially those with disabilities, while practicing law as a private sector attorney. It was after she became an elementary school teacher, however, that her dedication and leadership was quickly recognized. Today, as a national board certified teacher, she is uniquely qualified to advocate for special needs children across the country. Accardi earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Dallas in 1987.
Motivated by her frustrations as a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, Sonia Kirkpatrick envisioned a clinic where children could be evaluated, diagnosed and treated by a multidisciplinary team of professionals in a single location. That concept is now PediaPlex, a Southlake clinic with more than a dozen healthcare professionals that continues to grow under her leadership as its chief executive officer. Kirkpatrick earned an MBA from the University of Dallas College of Business in 2011.
A dedicated public servant and trailblazer in the pro-life and pro-family movements, Michael Schwartz unapologetically defended the family and the unborn for more than 35 years. Among his many accomplishments were starting the March for Life and serving U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) as his chief of staff in Washington, D.C., for eight years. Sadly, Schwartz passed away on Feb. 3, 2013; his Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented posthumously. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Dallas in 1972.
For ticket and event sponsorship information, contact Director of Alumni & Donor Relations Leah Looten at 972-721-5133, firstname.lastname@example.com or visit alumni.udallas.edu/DistinguishedAlumniDinner. A significant portion of event proceeds will support scholarship opportunities for University of Dallas students.

What the piano-toting experimental performer has often lacked is the following many writers believe he deserves, and many more believe the Brooklyn-based artist will garner via 2012's TigerFace. The record marks Benevento's first real flirtation with the conventional, featuring less instrumentation, pop-y vocals and a transition from jazz to jam rock. But he still holds fast to his Dan Deacon-like love for effects-riddled keys and the crazy, complex soundscapes they tend to spawn.SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Marco Benevento, Grammies PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

TCC Visual Arts Center Student Art Show 2013
Unique works on display through April 21
President's Purchase Award
Lynne Hundley
Yesterday's Gone
Mixed media
Hundley's painting represents a new beginning, as "Everything I've done over the last 30 years is over. I'm moving into being an artist full time." A minister at Cottage Place United Methodist Church in Portsmouth, Hundley will graduate in May with an associate of applied arts in studio arts. Her inspiration for Yesterday's Gone stems from a drive around town on trash day, noting the piles of discarded construction materials on the side of the road.
VAC Purchase Award
Joshua Solomon
Blue Note
Solomon, who holds a bachelor's from Bard College in studio arts, attends TCC to further his development as a glass artist. His award-winning blown glass represents a water droplet and a musical note, pieces in a multiple series he is developing simultaneously. "My work is as much about the fun of the process as the finished product," he says.

Porto Bello
Porto Bello
960 Scales Road, Suite 100, Suwanee
Open since: February 2007
Location: Porto Bello is the corner business in a row of shops off Scales Road in Suwanee, a turn just off McGinnis Ferry Road.
Hours: 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday
Owners: Porto Bello is family owned and operated by the Garcias. Lawrenceville residents and husband and wife duo Victor and Alba run the kitchen, while their son, Hugo, manages the dining area.
Atmosphere: Porto Bello is a small, upscale establishment where tables are draped with white tablecloths accented by burgundy cloth napkins. The restaurant offers booth and table seating as well as a patio area for outdoor dining.
Menu: Porto Bello offers authentic Italian cuisine crafted from Victor Garcia's quarter of a century of experience as a chef. His homemade sauces top pastas -- ravioli, tortellini, penne, fettuccini and angel hair -- and meats -- anything from chicken and sausage to veal and steak.
The most popular pasta selections are both made with eggplant. The eggplant parmigiana is thin layers of eggplant with parmiggiano and mozzarella cheeses baked in a fresh tomato sauce. The eggplant rollatina is similar, with thin layers of eggplant stuffed with pasta ricotta then baked in a tomato sauce and topped with parmiggiano and mozzarella cheeses.
The chicken francese is another popular item, a fresh Ansley Farms breast of chicken in a lemon butter sauce, along with the veal chop dolce vita, grilled prime veal in a cream marsala wine and mushroom sauce.
Meat dishes are served with a choice of spinach, artichoke hearts, broccoli or mushrooms.
Porto Bello offers more than 40 wines and typically hosts wine tastings twice a month.
- Things you might not know: Hugo Garcia said Bernie Marcus, one of the founders of The Home Depot, used to buy cases of his father's marinara sauce to stock his private jet.
If you have a restaurant you would like to see featured in The Dish, call Staff Writer Deanna Allen at 770-963-9205 ext. 1321 or e-mail email@example.com.

What is a Registered Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian (RD) is a specialist in the study of nutrition who can assist people in planning the kinds and amounts of foods that promote a healthy lifestyle.
State Registered Dietitians translate the science of nutrition into everyday information about food.
RDs undertake the practical application of nutrition to promote the well being of individuals, and communities to prevent nutrition-related problems. They are also involved in the diagnosis and dietary treatment of disease.
Registered Dietitians work with people who have special dietary needs, inform the general public about nutrition, give unbiased advice, evaluate and improve treatments and educate clients, doctors, nurses, health professionals and community groups.
Registered Dietitians can work in a variety of areas; many are within hospitals or in the community as Clinical Dietitians, and Health Educators. Both Hospital and Community Dietitians educate people who need special diets as part of their medical treatment, for example patients with:
Dietitians have special skills in translating scientific and medical decisions related to food and health to inform the general public. They also play an important role in health promotion.
A State Registered Dietitian has an interest in science, people and food. RDs are able to communicate with people from all areas of the community, have the ability to explain complex things simply.
In addition to your primary care doctor, an important factor of your health care needs will be a registered dietitian. A dietitian is a nutrition expert who has passed a national credentialing exam. They can use the title Registered Dietitian (RD), or in some states Licensed Dietitian (LD). Some dietitians take an additional exam for the credential of Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE).
Your RD will work with your primary care doctor to assist you in fine-tuning your medications, meals and exercise requirements. They also will be able to assist you with reading food labels, and providing cooking and grocery shopping tips. If you have never consulted a dietitian, enter your zip code above to search for a dietitian near you.

Social Security tips for singles
Not married? Here are some strategies to help you maximize your Social Security benefits.
- Fidelity Viewpoints
- – 05/22/2014
Figuring out when and how to take Social Security can be a complicated decision, even if you are single. Here are some strategies to consider to help make the most of your Social Security benefits if you're widowed, divorced, or have never married.
First, some basics
You can start taking Social Security, receiving reduced benefits, when you reach age 62, rather than waiting until your full retirement age (FRA). FRA ranges from 65 to 67, depending on when you were born. (See your full retirement age.) If you take benefits before you reach FRA, Social Security will reduce your monthly payments. If you delay collecting until you reach FRA, the amount of your monthly benefit will increase until you reach age 70.
Generally, the longer you delay taking Social Security, the higher your monthly benefits may be, and the gains from waiting can often be significant. Indeed, millions of Americans could help ensure a brighter financial future for themselves simply by hitting the pause button on Social Security for a few years.
Of course, if you wait to collect, you may not live long enough to enjoy the added value of increased payments. Because none of us knows when we will die, you need to make some reasonable assumptions about your life span, based on your health and family history. To help you estimate when you may break even, use the Social Security Administration Retirement Estimator.
If you are single
Some people want to retire as soon as they can for health reasons. But if you don't need to, consider what you may be giving up if you take Social Security at age 62. Taking benefits before your FRA can cost you now and in the future. Consider the following hypothetical example. Colleen's FRA is 66. If she starts taking benefits at age 62, she will get $1,500 a month. If she waits until she is 66 (her FRA) to collect, she will receive 33% more, or $2,000 a month. If she waits until age 70, her benefits will increase another 32%, to $2,640 a month.1 And if she were to live to age 89, her lifetime benefits would be about $47,000, or 13%, greater if she had waited until age 70 to collect benefits.2 (Note: All figures are in today's dollars and before tax; the actual benefit would be adjusted for inflation and would possibly be subject to income tax.)
But that is only part of the story. If you are working, you don't have to live on your savings. And if you stop working full time and leave a job with good pay and benefits, it may be difficult to ever regain that level of compensation if you need to return to work later. Also, as you approach retirement, you're often at the peak of your earnings and your ability to build retirement savings. Keep working and you can make "catch-up" contributions to tax-deferred workplace savings plans. Catch-up contributions enable you to set aside larger amounts of money for retirement. For example, the limit on pretax contributions to 401(k) plans is $17,500 in 2014, but if you are age 50 or older, you can invest an additional $5,500 each year. Note: These amounts are subject to cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs).
If you are divorced
Just because you're no longer married doesn't mean that your former spouse's work record stops giving your retirement a boost. Once you reach age 62, you may be eligible to receive benefits based on your ex-spouse's work history—with some stipulations. You must have been married for at least 10 years, and you must still be unmarried. These payments are equal to 50% of your spouse's FRA benefits if you start collecting at full retirement age—less if you take Social Security early.
What if you also worked? If you are eligible for Social Security benefits based on your own work history, Social Security will pay your amount first. But if your ex-spouse's benefit is higher, the difference will be added to your benefit. The benefit will be reduced if you haven't reached FRA. If you have reached FRA, you can choose to receive only your ex-spouse's benefits, let the amount of your own Social Security payments grow, and then switch to claiming your benefits later.
Finally, you can claim survivor benefits if your ex-spouse dies, so long as your marriage lasted 10 years or longer. These rules are complex, however, especially if there's any possibility that you could marry again. So it's always wise to contact the Social Security Administration (800-772-1213).
Also, the fact that you collect Social Security will not affect your ex's benefits, even if he or she remarries. To familiarize yourself with all the rules, read the Social Security Retirement Planner: If You Are Divorced.
Consider this hypothetical example: Kelly and her ex-spouse, John, are both 66 years old. They are both eligible for their own retirement benefits of $2,000 a month at age 66 (their FRA). Because their marriage lasted more than 10 years, Kelly is also eligible for $1,000 in spousal benefits, which is less than her own. She can claim her benefit today and collect $2,000 a month for the rest of her life. Alternatively, she can elect to collect $1,000 of spousal benefits only for the first four years and delay her own benefits to age 70. By then, her benefit would have grown to $2,640 per month, a 32% increase. If she lives to age 89, under the second scenario, her lifetime benefit will be $64,000 higher, which is almost a 15% increase. John can also do the same thing—elect to collect his spousal benefits at age 66, and then switch to his own benefits at age 70.2
If you are widowed
If you are a widow or a widower, you are eligible to collect your former spouse's Social Security payments as a survivor benefit. Again, if you wait until FRA to take payments, you can receive 100% of that benefit—less if you collect before your FRA. (The rules for survivor benefits and regular Social Security benefits differ. Read Survivors Planner: How Much Would Your Benefit Be?) You can also take whichever payment is larger: a monthly check based on your own work history, or the survivor's benefit.
Your choice doesn't have to be permanent. There are two strategies worth considering:
Claim survivor's benefit, then switch to your own. First, you can claim a survivor's benefit, let the amount of your own Social Security payments grow, and then switch to claiming your benefits later. This may work best if you're under age 70 (because your own payments will only increase until you're 70) and have a relatively high benefit at FRA compared with that of your deceased spouse.
Consider this hypothetical example. Ann is 62 years old and is eligible to get $1,500 in benefits at her FRA of 66. Her husband, John, started taking monthly benefits of $1,500 at age 62, but died this year at age 66. If Ann claims benefits now, which is before her FRA, she would receive a survivor benefit of $1,215 because it is higher than her own benefit. If you are a surviving spouse, Social Security automatically defaults to the higher amount—your own or your survivor benefit. Alternatively, she can elect to receive survivor benefits to age 70, and then switch to her own benefits. By then her own benefits would have increased to $1,980 a month, a 76% increase in monthly benefits. Ann would earn more than $115,000 in extra payments if she lived to age 88, boosting her lifetime benefits by about 40%.2 These rules are complex, however, and you should consider speaking with a Social Security representative.
Claim your own benefit now; switch to survivor's later. Many retirees are surprised to learn that survivor benefits can increase after a spouse dies, but they do—until you reach FRA. This strategy may work best if you're younger than full retirement age and you will have a low monthly benefit at FRA compared with that of your deceased spouse.
For example, Mary Ellen is 62 and is currently eligible for $563 a month in benefits and $750 a month at her FRA. Her husband, Patrick, started taking benefits at age 62, was getting $1,500 a month, and died this year at age 66. As in the previous example, if Mary Ellen claims benefits at 62 (before her FRA), she would receive $1,215 a month. If you are a surviving spouse, Social Security automatically defaults to the higher amount—your own or your survivor benefit. But if she chooses her own lower benefits of $563 for the first four years of her retirement, by the time she hits FRA, her survivor benefit will rise to $1,500 a month, a 23% increase. She could then switch to that higher amount, and increase her lifetime benefits by $25,000, or almost 9%, if she lives to age 88.2

Read other Viewpoints on Social Security
Don't think of Social Security as just a direct deposit once a month; it's an inflation-protected component of your overall retirement income. Consequently, you should not determine your strategy for Social Security benefits in isolation—instead, you should strive to maximize your total retirement income. Delaying your benefits will boost your monthly payments and, potentially, your total income stream later on.
However, if you wait to age 70 to collect benefits and you are not working, you need to make sure your other sources of income, such as pensions, annuities, and investments, meet your expenses. If you don't do so, delaying Social Security could leave you withdrawing from your other assets more quickly than you should, which could be a problem later in retirement. So, take a few minutes and project your future benefits, based on various scenarios, to help determine when it's best to start taking Social Security. Doing so may help you maximize your benefits, which could contribute to your financial well-being in retirement.

Inventory of LTO2 tapes goes to queued state
I have a backup system using Backup Exec 2010, an ADIC SCALAR 100 and Pathlight PVX. I am trying to restore data from old backups (2011). I no longer have the catalogs of those backups. I put the tapes in the Scalar, try to inventory and the tapes go to a queued state. I had the same problem with other tapes I was trying to catalog.
I had success previous to the issue I am having now. Now I am unable to inventory or catalog anything without the jobs going to a queued state.
I also receive an error when rebooting my backup server that says Inventory Scanner in windows had a problem and needs to close. I am guessing this is related to my problem, but not sure.
I would appreciate any thoughts anyone has for me.
Thank you,
Comments 15 Comments • Jump to latest comment
If the above didnt resolve the issue, I have also seen this when there is a tape stuck in the drive of the library. Backup Exec goes into a queued state because it is unable to see the tape since it is stuck in the drive and not in a slot. You can check in the manufacturer's Library application to see if this is the case. If is is just make sure to restart the Backup Exec services after you move the tape out of the drive, and then retry the inventory job.
Hope this helps,
Please provide a little more information in regard to your last question.
How many jobs are you trying to run?
What times are the jobs runnin?
is the number of jobs that knock the drives offline consistant ?
What does the event viewer report at the time of failure?

Tanner to take over as South Carolina A.D. on Aug. 2
When he guided the University of South Carolina baseball team to a national championship in 2010, Ray Tanner gave the school its first countrywide crown in a men's sport.
The next year, he did it again.
And now just 18 days after his final USC team finished as runners-up in the College World Series, Tanner has been charged with helping the Garnet and Black take a leap forward in all sports.
Tanner was officially introduced as USC's athletic director on Friday in Columbia and will assume his duties on Aug. 2.
Associate head baseball coach Chad Holbrook is expected to be named the new head baseball coach during a news conference next Monday at 11 a.m.
"I've had a sincere interest and desire to do this for the past two years," Tanner said. "I feel like the ability to communicate and listen is a tremendous strength," Tanner said. "I've never been an 'I' guy. We have a chance to do great things if everybody's together."
Tanner replaces Eric Hyman, who left South Carolina on June 30 to take the A.D. post at Texas A&M. Tanner's contract runs for five years and is worth $675,000 annually. Tanner thanked Hyman for providing solid leadership and promised to continue that course.
"Sometimes you can search the world over for the perfect candidate and at times you know you have the right leader within your organization," USC President Dr. Harris Pastides said. "For USC, we knew we had the right person on our team already. When coach Tanner approached me two years ago and sought more administrative responsibilities, I clearly knew that this was an individual who was seeking a way to lead; to take our great university to the next level."
News of Tanner's hiring was well-received by the USC coaching staff.
"I applaud the choice of Ray Tanner as athletics director," football coach Steve Spurrier said. "I believe the president made an excellent decision. Our athletics department is in very good hands with Ray Tanner. I look forward to working with Ray and president Pastides for several years to come."
Men's basketball coach Frank Martin, the newest member of the staff, is both happy and relieved Tanner got the job.
"As concerned as I was the day Eric Hyman decided to leave, I am even more excited for president Pastides' decision to hire Ray Tanner as our next director of athletics," Martin said. "He has proven that he can lead people and win championships as well as anyone. I look forward to having him as our new leader."
Tanner's baseball resume is one of the most impressive in NCAA history.
Over a 25 year career he compiled a 1,033-489-3 record — 738-316 in 16 years leading the Gamecocks.
Aside from two national titles, the three-time National Coach of the Year led USC to six CWS appearances, three SEC titles, an SEC Tournament championship and 13 consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament.
Over the past three seasons Tanner's squads set new NCAA records with 22 consecutive postseason victories and 12 straight CWS wins.
His .700 winning percentage at Carolina is second highest all-time among SEC coaches, and he also had nine successful years at North Carolina State before arriving at South Carolina.
"Ray exemplifies all the qualities I am seeking in an athletic director: integrity, a winning attitude, a confident leader and manager and an individual who puts the well-being of our student-athletes above and beyond all other things," Pastides said.
Holbrook will step into a good situation when he steps into the role vacated by Tanner.
In four seasons as associate head coach at USC Holbrook has served as the recruiting coordinator, hitting instructor and offensive coach.
In 2011 he was named ABCA/Baseball American Assistant Coach of the Year, and before coming to Columbia Holbrook was a member of the University of North Carolina coaching staff for 15 seasons.
Tanner, however, admits it'll be an odd feeling for him to see someone else manning the dugout next February.
"I'll miss putting on that uniform," Tanner said. "But rest assured I'll still be coaching — armchair style."

This is a mod that I did awhile back. It eliminates close to a ½ ounce. It perplexes me why Snow Peak doesn't make a Ti or Aluminum wind deflector. I have used my windscreen with these holes in it for a few years now and have noticed no reduced effects of windblocking.To do this Mod, you need access to a drill press and a way of clamping down the deflector because the drill bits are going to snag the thin sheet metal and twirl it around causing possible injury.This is how I did mine. I marked 4 spots of uniform and equal distance in the deflector. Then I used a center punch to mark the holes for the drill bits. Best drill bits to use are cobalt, which goes through stainless a bit better then high speed steel drill bits. You must start with small drill bits like 1/16" and then go to 1/8" and so on until you get to ½" which is large and it's really going to want to grab that thin metal, so you must go SLOW and not use very much pressure. Be sure to wear proper safety equipment.
I made one out of a disposable pie plate and works just fine. Weighs nothing on the scale. Just cut it out a bit larger in size as the original, lay it inside so you can mark the openings and where to bend the sides. No fancy tools...just scissors.
That's a great idea too! how sturdy is the pie plate,does it deform fairly easy?
I made a windscreen for my Snow Peak Giga Stove that is light and tough. I used a Snow Peak Titanium bowl. It limits the pot diameter to that of the BPL Firelight SUL-1100. I'm in the Denver airport or I'd have dimensions and weight.Also, I can't seem to post a photo with my Blackberry.Snow Peak Titanium Bowl - Wind Screen - Weight=1.66 onuces.Since I took this photo I have put additional holes, between the pot support slots, for additional combustion air.

"That's a great idea too! how sturdy is the pie plate,does it deform fairly easy?"-grinderIt is a little fragile. I moved to the SP made one. Either way I feel the system could be simplified. I cannot imagine a practical reason why tiny canister stoves fold or why they lack integral wind/heat panels.
drilling those holes would be a lot easier with a step bit. i'd still use a drillpress and clamp the material down to the table, just to be safe. step bits are designed to cut large holes in light metal.DarenN.....
Shane, the pie tin does need to be treated carefully but most UL items are anyway. It fits in my pot, so I don't worry about it bending. If it breaks, I can make another. It's pretty sturdy for the amount of time I use it. Give it a try. I like some of these other ideas, but I don't have the tools...nor do I want them. : )
the pie plate bends easily but it doesn't break. You can bend it back into shape. It will develop a hole at a sharp bend but it'll still work. I've been using this for years and I usually squeeze a couple seasons out of each and it's always the rather narrow tabs that embrace the stove that break but it's just too easy to make another one. You can even do it on the go if you're on a long hike.Like Donna, I store it inside the pot so it's only exposed during actual use. It's made into two pieces so it fits inside.There's been several threads on this same issue in the recent past on this forum.
After finding out that the SnowPeak windscreen weighed almost as much as the stove I figured I better try something else. Titanium came to mind, I bought a small piece of Ti foil from ti-goat to give it a whirl. I soon found working w/ titanium is like herding cats! It is not in the least bit malleable like aluminum- even thin stuff. You can cut the stuff w/ scissors, but it won't bend worth hoot. I ended cutting four slits to help wrap it- I'm going to have those overlaps spot welded.I used a dremel to cut the slits and stove hole while using the SP screen as a template.SP screen- nice, but pretty heavy.ti screen- not pretty, but light :)
Edited by mtwarden on 07/25/2009 21:18:46 MDT.
first JB weld will NOT hold up- it quickly caught fire and melted away, the titanium on the other hand has no problems at all w/ the heatI also wanted the windscreen to come up higher, so I cut a piece that added some height- I could have gone higher w/ .9 liter pot, but I also use a 1.4 pot when going in a group- so I got it to where both pots just clearedI had an acquaintance spot weld the additional piece on, I had a scrap that he practiced on and he eventually found the right settingsit did add an additional 0.1 oz bumping it to 0.4 oz, still significantly lighter than the SP steel version and higher as well
Its possible to form ti with a butane torch. The kind like small soldering torches. I have formed 1/8 inch ti stakes this way. I believe that this works because ti is actually a poor conductor of heat, so temp builds up in a small localized area because heat is not conducted away as fast as alum or steel. Heat to cherry red and form as you go by burnishing with a rod (screw driver, chisel ect.) good luck
Edited by backfeets1 on 12/08/2009 04:14:23 MST.
ahh- that a good tip that I could of used :) I'll know next time, thinking about a lightweight lid for SP 900
Mike,nice job. You can work Ti easily if you keep it heated to red. That's a little tricky, but if it is bent cold, it will fail on the bend eventually. Bent hot, it will not.
I've got a small torch, next time I play it w/ it I'll have to break it outI'd like to get a little heavier stock and make a nice lid for my 900 :)
I used the aluminum from a cheap oven pan sold in grocery store for a couple of bucks and used the snowpeak screen as a template. Then I took a piece of wire mesh with a piece of doubled over heavy weight aluminum foil as an added windbreak. When the foil went all the way around it snuffed out the flame. Aluminum foil by itself doesn't last very long.See pp 2+3 of this "Album".http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/138113519qFGLOd?start=12I found that the aluminum top of a small kettle or coffee pot made by Open Country http://www.rei.com/product/401139fits into the smaller cup of the SnowPeak nesting pots like Denis used above. See the photo on p. 3 of my webshots.I could MYOG to make a lighter lid, but the fit of the aluminum top is perfect and I think with the open piece at the top I can tell when the water is boiling without having to peak under the lid. As we know "a watched pot never boils"!
Edited by rambler on 09/19/2009 07:43:38 MDT.
Nice work Frank. How much the mesh weigh? Also how did you cut the holes in the pie tin... just with a stanley knife?
I'm mostly a lurker, but this time i think I've got some thing good and haven't seen anyone chime in with it yet:with the half surround alu it weighs in at a whopping 18 grams i made a 7/8 surround and it totaled in at 22g. the wire is from a coat-hanger formed with pliers and a vice. it hooks onto one side and slides over the top of the burner. then the slider i made out of the sniped end of a 22.cal shell.all of this still fits in my mini solo pot so no extra bulk

Reminder To Sports Parents – He's Just A Little Boy
We are nearing the end of Baseball season for Bruce. The obnoxious parents are still out there and not yet tired of hearing themselves act worse than children. So, when a Facebook friend shared this picture I had to do the same. It's making it's way around Facebook with kudos from moms everywhere.
This sign was hung up at the Cana Tigers' baseball fields in Corsicana, TX to remind people of why they were there. I think this should be hung up at every youth sports complex in America.
Props to Coach Steve Petty and his crew for putting this in the forefront of everyone's mind as they watch these games!
He stands at the plate with his heart pounding fast;
The bases are loaded. the die has been cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help him; he stands all alone.
A hit at this moment would send the team home.
The ball nears the plate; he swings and he misses.
There's a groan from the crowd, with some boos and hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries, "strike out he bum!"
Tears fill his eyes, the game's no longer fun.
Remember – he's just a boy who stands all alone.
So open your heart and give him a break.
For it's moments like this a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.
He's just a little boy, not a man yet.
The Death of Unorganized Sports
Every year Ryan watches the Little League World Series. Every year I ask if there is anything else on tv (besides the 12 ESPN channels that always seem to have 4 old men talking sports behind a big desk- those "4 men behind a desk" shows annoy the crap out of me). Apparently, for about 2 weeks there isn't. I think it's great that these kids have the chance to play in these types of games and get national recognition.
Wait for it….
BUT, each year the looks on these kids faces portray nothing but fear. They aren't smiling or joking with each other like MLB players do in the dugout. They aren't jumping up and down and smiling into the cameras for their friends at home to seethem. No, all I see are children being put in such a high pressure situation that they aren't even taking in the experience; all they know is they MUST WIN. This year, a few of the kids looked like they just wanted to run away and cry.
I recently read an article on what ruined youth baseball of our past. The author seemed to believe that it was ESPN and tv cameras. He remembered the joy kids had playing sandlot baseball in an unorganized environment – the freedom for them to just let lose.
Sandlot baseballRemember what it was like? No fancy bats, no sponsors or big name logos, no reporters asking you about your winning strategy, no birth certificate rules or certifications. Just a bunch of kids with sticks and garbage can lids having fun in the street or in an empty dirt lot.
Today, the neighborhood kids don't converge in one location outside to play games, they don't find general household objects to use in games, they don't catch fireflies in the summer night. Now, kids hide inside all summer in the air conditioning playing video games or on the couch eating junk food while watching tv.
It's sad. I'm all about organized sports. I'm a firm believer in organized sports' role in sending kids down the right path in life, esp in inner cities or towns where the alternative can be deadly. I've seen if make a difference between a child losing their way in life and becoming successful members of society who are willing to give back to the next generation. I am grateful for every coach I had throughout my life that made a difference in my life. For every coach who was like a second parent to me and believed in me and made sure I was headed in the right direction. For every coach that disciplined me and didn't fill my head with empty unearned praise but made sure I learned that life isn't always fair and how to loose with grace while learning from my mistakes.
But I wonder when organized sports took over for just plain fun. I would love to see kids outside just running around and working things out for themselves. Making up their own rules, teaching each other, and just concentrating on the fun – not the fancy LED scoreboard. Sure, even the youngest kids keep score at everything. In my house even a game of checkers is a constant "Am I winning?". And I see no real problem with acknowledging winning or losing – I just think it shouldn't overshadow the game itself.
This post started off in a completely different direction so I will have to get to that topic in another post.
Heads Up: Help Spread Concussion Awareness!
Between football and soccer and the ability to play sports year round in Florida, Bruce spends A LOT of time on a sports field. We've been extremely lucky over the years that we haven't had any sports-related injuries. I'm not naive enough to expect that to continue in the years to come but both Ryan's and mine experience as athletes allows us to be familiar with many sports injuries and how to treat them.
Ryan played football and baseball as a kid until a football injury to the knee in college pretty much ended his football playing days. As a cheerleader and track runner, I have endured my own stretches of physical therapy and hobbling around on crutches. But the worst injury of all – a concussion.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This can literally cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, stretching and damaging the brain cells and creating chemical changes in the brain. These chemical changes make the brain more vulnerable to further injury.
I was once hospitalized in college for a concussion related to a cheerleading injury and I have seen plenty of concussions during my years as a cheerleader and cheerleading coach. In the last few years, cheerleading has become more and more dangerous due to the increased demand for difficulty and adding the "wow" factor to their routines. With that, has come an increase in concussions and other TBIs.
The answer is not to deny our children the chance to play the sports they love. All parents and anyone involved in youth sports should be aware of the seriousness surrounding traumatic brain injuries and the correct course of action to be taken if they suspect a child is suffering from a TBI. And most importantly, they should be familiar with the signs of a TBI so it can be detected promptly, avoiding further injury.
Brain injuries can often go undetected or can be mistaken for a headache or exhaustion. And athletes are taught to "shake it off" and "get back in the game".
The Center For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) developed the following 4-step Heads Up Action Plan to help you protect your child or teen if you suspect they have a concussion:
1. Keep your teen out of play. If your child or teen has a concussion, her/his brain needs time to heal. A repeat concussion that occurs before the brain recovers from the first—usually within a short period of time (hours, days, or weeks)—can slow recovery or increase the likelihood of having long-term problems. In rare cases, repeat concussions can result in edema (brain swelling), permanent brain damage, and even death.
2. Seek medical attention right away. A health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussion will be able to decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your child or teen to return to sports.
3. Teach your child or teen that it's not smart to play with a concussion. Rest is key after a concussion. Sometimes athletes wrongly believe that it shows strength and courage to play injured. Discourage others from pressuring injured athletes to play. Don't let your child or teen convince you that s/he's "just fine."
4. Tell all of your child or teen's coaches and the school nurse about ANY concussion. Coaches, school nurses, and other school staff should know if your child or teen has ever had a concussion. Your child or teen may need to limit activities while s/he is recovering from a concussion. Things such as studying, driving, working on a computer, playing video games, or exercising may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse.
In addition to the Heads Up Action plan, the CDC developed the following educational materials and messages for specific audiences:
- Health Care Professionals:
- Sports Coaches and Administrators:
- School Professionals:
In an effort to raise awareness about TBI, parents, coaches, and athletes are encouraged to share their stories or ask CDC questions on the CDC Heads Up Facebook page.
To learn more about the Heads Up initiatives and to download your own materials, visit http://www.cdc.gov/concussion.
I plan to download some of this information and make sure it is posted in our football/cheerleading program office for all to see. I will also be including some of these links on our website for our coaches and parents. The more people know about brain injuries, the safer our kids will be as sports become more competitive and require more skill than they did in years past.

Homecoming – The Perfect End To Football Season
This past weekend was homecoming for our football organization. It was a
long day for those of us who put many hours into planning and executing it, but so worth it. It was so great to see all of our teams in one place together. I got to talk to every mother and father on that field, watch the smiles on each kid's face and be a part of an amazing end to a stressful season.
It was a festive day with raffles, a crazy mascot dancing in the endzone, balloons and streamers spread throughout the stadium, family pictures, players getting escorted across the field by their family members and presented over the PA system, 400 spray-painted burnt orange carnations, and cheerleaders. Our older kids even sported some pink bands for Breast Cancer awareness.
We even got to try out some Longhorn eye-black. Thanks to Eyeblack.com, Bruce's whole tiny mite team was outfitted with the eye-black stickers. They looked so cute and were so excited. It's amazing how something so simple could really unify a team and make them feel connected. They felt like the professional players they idolize.
I sported a pair of them all day – 15 hours in the hot Florida sun – and I was really impressed with the quality. No matter how sweaty my face got or even when I washed it they stayed put! After being in the sun all day with them I was worried when I took them off I would have raccoon eyes but the white spots were very, very slight and after I washed my face it was completely unnoticeable.
Eyeblack.com has over 4000 designs in stock with college logos, inspirational sayings, solid colors, team names, religious symbols, military designs, the World cup, and more. They even have Halloween and Breast Cancer awareness designs.
We sold out of them in our booster stand pretty early on. We'll definitely be selling them all season next year! I got the stock design but they also made me a virtual sample with our logo which came out awesome.
The night ended with the most remarkable display of unity I have ever seen. I witnessed the true meaning of football. It isn't about strategy, the position you play, or how fast you can run. It's about brotherhood and being there for your teammates when they need you most. It's about being part of something bigger than you.
Two days before homecoming one of the boys on our oldest team lost his step-dad in an accident and his mom was lucky to be with us. Obviously, this was an emotional night for his family. He carried a picture of him and his step-dad from a previous football game and took the traditional family picture with his mom and that framed picture. Before the game, I watched as his 29 teammates comforted him; their parents hugged his mom; his dad shed tears for his ex-wife's husband and a man who loved his son like his own.
When I was talking to the boys that night and explained to them what they needed to do after they were announced and escorted on the field they made it clear that they knew what their job was that night. When it came time to escort this young player onto the field, his entire team stood behind him, his mom and his dad. The announcer requested a moment of silence and told him what he already knew – his entire longhorn family was behind him and there for him.
I watched from across the field as 30 young men stood with helmets in their hands and couldn't help but cry. Yes, they were tears of sadness for a life lost to soon. But also, they were tears of pride for the 30 boys in front of us whose character shined as bright as the huge full orange moon behind them.
They went on to win that game 36-12 and they earned a playoff spot – against a team who beat them earlier in the season. It might have been a combination of skill and great coaching but I'm more inclined to think it was their bond of brotherhood that led them to victory that night. A bond that will stay with them both on and off the field for many years to come.
Yes, Youth Sports Really Should Be About The Kids- Not YOU!
I'm sick at the moment so my mind is kind of unfocused and I just want to go to sleep – which is exactly what I plan on doing – next Sunday. Why Sunday you ask- because that is when football season is officially over! AND. I. CAN'T. WAIT.
I know what you are thinking "But, you live for the excitement of football season and can't exist without the constant blur of things to do and general chaos of organizing things." Yes, that is true most of the time but really, I'm ready for this one to end. I'm ready for the stress-free environment that is soccer season (which starts in 2 weeks).
See, soccer and football are like 2 completely different countries. The language is different, the customs are different, the manners are very different, the people are beyond different. In the last 5 years of organized sports we have been through 3 football and countless soccer seasons, as well as a few other sports.
I have only once encountered an annoying soccer parent – you know the kind I mean. They are living through their child and think the louder they yell from the sidelines the better their child will be. And when someone does get out of hand, they are immediately put in their place from the league. It just isn't tolerated.
For the most part, soccer parents sit on the sidelines and are friendly to each other, they cheer for the entire team (not just their own child), they willingly bring snacks and drinks for the kids, they recognize these are all-volunteer organizations that need volunteers, they show up on time and don't argue with the coach or team mom every time they tell you something.
Football parents – not so much.
This season I have encountered moms who not only refused to fulfill their volunteer requirements but refuse to speak to you at all if you ask them to, parents who insist on coaching from the sidelines but not on the field, dads who argue over the numbers assigned to their kids, people who insist their child should be the team superstar and question why their kid is not playing a specific position, parents who see only their child on the field and an endless amount of complaining.
What's worse – the large number of opposing teams' coaches who felt it was necessary to cheat and the parents who can't understand why we won't. If you need to teach a bunch of 6 and 7 year olds to cheat at Tiny Mite football, what does that say about the rest of your life? And when caught cheating, own up to it – take responsibility or at least pretend you didn't realize it happened. Don't swear up and down that you weren't cheating.
Adults, in every sport, often forget that this is about the kids – not them. This is not an opportunity to live vicariously through your children. It is about sharing your love of a game, making a difference in a child's life and influencing the positive course of a child's life. Youth sports is not just about the sport – it's about the lessons you teach the kids through the sport.
What you teach these kids on the field is a direct reflection of what you teach them off the field. And believe it or not, they do take those lessons into the real world with them – both today and in 10 years. And, maybe even more importantly – it is what they will teach the next generation both on and off the field.

Customers may not always be able to visit the businesses that they need to interact with on a daily basis. However, in some cases, that does not eliminate the need for comprehensive communication between the two parties. For example, a therapist's client may be unable to make the trek into her office, but that does not negate his need to continue working with her. Therefore, organizations need effective ways to maintain person-to-person relationships with clients that may be miles away.
MegaMeeting can help therapists communicate with their clients even if they are on vacation, a business trip or simply feeling ill. The 100 percent browser-based web conferencing software allows individuals to access the technology from any computer that has internet access. From there, individuals can speak to one another in an intimate setting. For therapists, the service allows them to continuously monitor the progress of clients as well as pick up on non-verbal communication cues during meetings.
Therapeutic businesses that ofter alternative ways to communicate with their clients help to continue an ongoing relationship even with patients who aren't always able to take the time for therapy.

Posted Sep 19 2012 @ 07:28 PM
Olivia Palermo was photographed attending the Mulberry show at London Fashion Week yesterday, September 18, taking a moment to pose for the street style photographers before heading into the show. For her ensemble, OP paired colored skinny jeans (for two pairs in a similar hue, try either James Jeans' Brushed Twill Legging in Rose Wine or Kasil Workshop's Benetar Skinny in Rose Thorn) with a knit sweater (for an option that's more in the orange color family, check out Luc by Lucy's Kylie Crop Sweater in Tangerine) and a pair of color blocked heels. Naturally, Olivia toted a Mulberry bag (for a unique option in a soft, neutral hue, check out Oryany's Purse in Petal) at the show, and then finished off her look with minimal accessories - save for a cuff on her right wrist and a watch on her left - and pretty, rosy makeup. What's your feeling on this look for Olivia, everyone - is it a hit or a miss? While it seems that Olivia is always chatting with press about her personal style, she's at it once again... telling InStyle that she "dresses for me." According to Palermo: "I get up every morning and I get dressed and I like getting dressed. I like walking out of the house feeling fully pulled together. It doesn't matter if there's [a photographer] standing outside my apartment or not. I couldn't care less. I like getting dressed for me and not them." When confronted with comparisons to Kim Kardashian (a fellow gal who got her start on a reality show and now has a mini-fashion empire), Olivia says: "I do things differently. I'm in fashion. I'm in New York. I'm in London. And I'm in the rest of Europe. She's LA Our careers are very different. Hers is very much entertainment and working with different brands; and mine is more working on the editorial fashion side, incorporating the luxury market and the modelling aspect of brands." Do you agree with Olivia's thoughts, everyone?
Olivia Palermo seen in London, England on Sep 18 2012.
LOVE O's style and I agree with her comment. Her and Kim's career's are totally different!!! While I do like Kim, Olivia is really in the upscale fashion world!!guest on Sep 20 2012 @ 05:45 AM
just love this look and the color paring. She sure knows how to rock it.guest on Sep 20 2012 @ 06:39 AM
when someone is sneezing she will collapse?guest on Sep 24 2012 @ 09:03 PM

The 26 Glacier Cruise Experience
The 26 Glacier Cruise travels over 140 miles into Prince William Sound where you will see 26 "named" glaciers and many more unnamed. We get face to face with these towering masses of ice, so close you can "hear" the glaciers move and gaze at their brilliant blue hues.
Click here to see a video of the cruise experience
On the 26 Glacier Cruise, you'll see several types of glaciers, including Alpine (hanging), Piedmont and Tidewater. Glacier calvings (when broken pieces of ice fall into the water and become icebergs) are normally seen on each cruise.
M/V Klondike Express
The Klondike Express is the largest, fastest and most luxurious catamaran in Alaska.
This 137-foot, high-speed catamaran holds 338 passengers on three decks, two of which are enclosed and heated and there is an inside seat and table for every passenger on board. During this 5-hour cruise, our route covers 140 miles cruising through narrow passage ways, along jagged shorelines, and down glacier carved fjords. In one day, guests can see 26 glaciers, as well as an abundance of wildlife in their natural environment. Cruise face to face with towering masses of ice, so close that you can hear the glaciers move. Gaze at the brilliant blue hues and towering spires of alpine, piedmont and tidewater glaciers. If the timing is right, you may also get lucky and witness a section of ancient ice calve into the sea. To witness this massive movement of ice and hear its thunderous roar is truly an unforgettable experience.

WildlifeHarbor Seals
These sea creatures are well adapted to life in the sea. They are graceful and efficient swimmers as they use their hind flippers for propulsion and fore flippers as rudders. You will encounter these beautiful animals hauled out on the ice at the face of the many tidewater glaciers visited on this cruise.
Humpback Whale
Keep an eye out for these gentle giants as we head towards the open waters of the Sound. You'll recognize them by their giant spouts, easily seen from great distances. These whales are baleen whales that feed on some of the smallest creatures of the ocean, and have giant flippers that can sometimes reach 30% of their entire length. These animals winter in Hawaii where they give birth to their young, before returning to the food rich and fertile waters of Alaska.
Sea Otter
These playful little guys are often found just about everywhere in the Sound, where glaciers from long ago have left an underwater shallow area that is prime for feeding. The otter, known for it's rich pelt has no blubber like other marine mammals to keep them warm, and relies on a rich seafood diet, high metabolism, and constantly refreshing the air bubbles in its fur for warmth. Otters are known for being one of the only animals that use tools, having been seen using rocks and the like to break open shells while feeding.
Orca/Killer Whales
This member of the dolphin family can be seen throughout the sound. The more docile orca whales are known as resident orcas and travel in large family groups or pods and feed on the salmon runs that make their way into Prince William Sound. They can be playful, and are often very curious. The transient orca whales feed on marine mammals such as seals and sea lions, and are not easily spotted, as they tend to be more stealthy. The resident pods can be spotted by the massive dorsal fins above the water as they travel, sometimes reaching up to six feet in height.
Other Wildlife
Keep a keen eye out for bears, mountain goats, sea lions and Dall's porpoise as you cruise the sound. While at the glaciers, it is common to see seals on top of the icebergs around the boat, and eagles are ever present in Prince William Sound. We'll do our best to point them out to you, but often rely on you, our guests as well to spot these critters as we travel.
