|You are here: Main » Playa del Carmen » Playa del Carmen Attractions
Buckle Up!
Mexico now has
a seat-belt law.
Playa del Carmen is a great place to spend a week or two. We prefer it to Cancun because there are way more things to do around Playa.
Playa is what the locals call Playa del Carmen, originally named Xaman-Ha [waters of the north].
Playa is a bustling beach-town with a main strip running parallel to the beach. This is 5th Avenue affectionately known to the locals as "Quinta Avenida". Along 5th there are numerous stores selling everything imaginable. There are also lots of restaurants, clubs, hotels and resorts.
The beaches in Playa are great and a short walk from any hotel. Many resorts and restaurants are located right on the beach.
Playa is an international destination so you find people from all over the world vacationing in Playa. It has quite a flare to it. The Mexican people are very friendly which adds to the happy atmosphere.
On Tuesdays and Thursday the cruise ships dock at Playa and the small town swells with temporary visitors. Also arriving daily are tourists staying along the Riviera who come to Playa to shop for the day.
There are many transplanted foreigners living in Playa as well. In fact almost everybody in Playa is from some where else as Playa is a relatively new city. Lots of Italians and Swiss have set up businesses. There are of course many Americans living in Playa and even the odd Canadian. Germans love Mexico so you will meet many Germans as well.
Shopping, eating-drinking and the beach is what Playa is all about however there are many things to do outside of Playa.
If its more shopping you want then take a ferry to Cozumel which has lots more stuff. The snorkeling and diving is also world-class in Cozumel.
Mayan ruin sites are also located within a short drive from Playa. There is Tulum and Xel-Ha on the coast. Inland not far away is Coba and Punta Laguna. A further drive but well worth the trip is Valladoid and the great Chichen Itza. You can either take a colectivo, bus, tour or rent a car to get to these locations.
Not far from Playa is the magnificent Xcaret, which will thrill both young and old. It is a Mayan Eco Disney World. You can spend a whole day there, easy. Not far away is the fun Xel-Ha Eco Park which has excellent snorkeling. For eco enthusiasts there are also;
There are also caves and cenotes all over the place. A cenote is a whole in the ground with spring-water in it. You can swim/snorkel/dive in the cenotes and the experience is quite memorable for divers. The caves are exciting and many were used by early Mayans to seek refuge from severe storms.
All over the countryside are small towns and pueblos with shops and stores for you to visit. You can get great deals at many of these places located in the middle of no-where. If you are renting a car and driving in the interior you will encounter many of these.
There is Mayan stuff everywhere as the Mayan culture is still alive and thriving in this part of Mexico. There is also an Azteca influence, however, this is only in the commercial sense as the Aztecas are from the north of Mexico, when in Playa you are in Mayan territory. There is of course trade between all states of Mexico so goods from outside the Mayan world are present as well.
Cozumel is less than an hours ferry ride away and the snorkeling and diving there is fantastic. Cozumel also offers an alternative to shopping in Playa del Carmen. You will see much of the same stuff in Cozumel but you will also see things not sold on the mainland in Playa, Cancun or anywhere else.
At night Playa rocks! Many of the bars along the strip have bands ranging from reggae to salsa to traditional Mexican. The Cubans are even starting to appear which is a good sign that the music scene in Playa is going to take off.
You can stroll from bar to bar then hit the after hour clubs which are quite lively. They are located on the beach and will have anything from fire dancers to bongo bands performing. Lots of single people stay in Playa because it is a safe clean place.
THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND PLAYAShopping has to be Playa's biggest attraction. Avida Quinta is a pedestrian mall lined with little shops and malls. Bargaining is expected here.
Skydiving is available on the beach just south of the ferry dock at Sky Dive Playa.
Playacar boasts an excellent golf course. It is a little pricey, but well worth the fee, as it includes food and a cart. Worth trying once.

Playa has a few small Mayan ruins. There are some right on 5th Ave. and a few in Playacar, which is a short walk from 5th Ave. near the ferry docks. The ruin sites that you can visit outside of Playa del Carmen are Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Coba, Xel-Ha, Tulum, Muyil and Punta Laguna.
TravelYucatan.com offers tours to: Chicken Itza, Coba and Tulum only.
Nobody offers tours to Xel-Ha ruins and we are not sure if any tour companies offer tours to Ek Balam or Muyil.
People tend to completely overlook Xel-Ha's significances as an important archeological site. Located on the other side of the highway across from Xel-Ha park are the ruins. The Maya who lived here supplied lime to make cement to inland cities and villages. We believe they were probably very wealthy due to their lime business and proximity to seafood, hunting and agriculture. The lime came from harvesting conch shells, burning them then crushing into a fine powder. The entire area would have been completely void of trees except for fruit trees and trees used for wind blocks.
Some tour companies offer day excursions to Uxmal.
Ruin sites located within a reasonable distance from Playa del Carmen are:

Cover Your Kids' Eyes, This One's Gonna Be a Bit Violent:
This one can't be good for the Bucks. As much as Matt loves to sing their graces as an interesting team and a fun team, they're not built to handle a team like Orlando…especially when their starting backcourt is injured. Sessions/Ridnour have been doing their thang, but can a team of (basically) Sessions, Jefferson, and Mbah a Moute beat the Magic by themselves? CNuv is already getting snubbed in favor of Malik Allen (damn you, Skiles!), Bogut will have his hands full with Superman (Interjection: can we take a mulligan on the Superman nickname? It just seems so derived and ridiculous, especially considering it was kindasortaalreadytaken. Good dunk and all (err, kind of dunk), but I just feel like we could do better.), and the Bucks still look miserable on offense. But they're trying! And they're defending! …right?!
Orlando rebounds from their loss against the Rox by wearing down a team that frankly isn't that good. They'll look good, hit their shots, and ultimately claim victory by having the least Malik Allen on the court.
When Life Gets You Down, Just Remember: At Least You're Not the Bobcats:
These teams got problems. For serious. No one knows what on earth is going down with the Sixers, where a post-injury Brand looks good-not-great. Iggy is contributing across the board, but hasn't been the consistent scoring option that this team needs behind Brand. We knew they would be a beast on D, and they have been for stretches. But that hasn't been nearly enough to account for the terrible offensive output Philly has produced thus far. They rank 8th in pace and yet they're in the bottom third of the league in scoring, largely due to their 16.2 TOs per, which is good for second in the league. They're not injured and they're not even hobbled, really, but this team looks awfully uncomfortable at this juncture. They're still 7th in the East at this point, but I don't think being tied with the Knicks should be the claim to fame of a team that looked to contend this season.
The Bobcats are the Bobcats. They don't have a real center. They lack depth at every significant position except for point guard, where Raymond Felton hasn't made any real strides in his development. Sean May is still out of shape/injured/whatever. So naturally, it makes sense to strike Jason Richardson down with a bizarre knee injury that doesn't register as being serious during exploratory surgery, yet noticeably changed his style when he was on the court. The Bobcats have been starting Alexis Ajinca. ALEXIS AJINCA. But they're fielding a cute little backcourt of Augustin and Felton, who measure up to a combined 12'1". Okafor is back to his real position at power forward. Annnnd that's all I've got. Hang in there, 'Cats.
A Looming Presence Over the Miami Skyline:
Yao Ming against a team that plays Udonis Haslem at center. I know he's injured and I know he's slow, but you're going to have a hard time selling a Heat victory. Wade's incredible (although still turns the ball over like it's going out of style…I'll cut him a break on that this season, though) but Marion has been out of his element since hitting Meeyami and Beasley hasn't impressed the same way the rest of the '08 standouts have. T-Mac and Crazy Pills are just the frills on the table cloth: this one's a feast for the big fella.
Just Like a Dreeeeeeeeam:
Spurs at Grizzlies
I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea that this game will be competitive. The Grizz play hard and keep up with some quality teams on their Dr. Jekyll nights, so let's hope that team shows up tonight. Not that they need to be fantastic to take down Duncan, Roger Mason, a handful of rookies, some old dudes, the equipment manager, and a guy hanging around the stadium who looked like he might be able to ball, but it would probably rock my world if the Cubs ran over the Spurs in a manner that included (but, by all means, is not restricted to) a May to Gay oop, a flurry of Gasol post-ups from the middle of the lane on well-timed entry passes, and some output from Conley that mimics his play of the other night and does not include more than 2 turnovers. That's all I ask. That and for Hak to poster Duncan. Pretty please?
I Hold One Truth Above All: There is No Way I'm Going to Watch This Game:
Bulls at Jazz
The Jazz have stumbled a bit, mostly due to injuries and Okur's absence. But the Bulls are the Bulls. This game is in Utah. It doesn't matter who the Jazz put on the floor, they are going to win this game. Plus, without Deron Williams in the lineup, Utah's intrigue factor is incredibly low. Watching Boozer can be interesting or funny. AK is always awkward and delightful (even on his terrible nights). But with no player that I feel like I have to watch from the moment he steps onto the court…ehhh, I'll pass.
The "Dunked On" Debates Continue After Steve Blake Slams One On Beno Udrih:
I'm looking forward to charting Oden's progress in terms of his movement, but otherwise this is just an exercise in regular season-ness. No Kevin Martin (still…), probably too much John Salmons, and Brandon Roy being a freaking madman. Although, I'd love to see Aldridge get tough and really stick it to this Kings frontline. He really does have the makings of a dominant big man (on the offensive end, at the very least), but too often he gets taken out of games and pushed off the glass. He will never be that overly aggressive bull in the post, but is it too much to ask for a cow with some attitude?
The Jason Thompson army continues to impress, and I'm still amazed at what Hawes is able to bring off the bench. He's energetic, he's blocking shots, and though I don't think he's ready to take up that starting role just yet, he's shown me things in this young season that I surely didn't expect. Gold star for you, sir.
Slightly Above Average Beats Below Average Every Time…Well Not Every Time, But You Know What I Mean
But I'll keep my fingers crossed for the first Zach Randolph sighting in Clipperland!

Hey everyone.
I have a Surly Disc Trucker with Avid BB7 mountain brakes / Tektro levers / drop bars. I absolutely hate the way the Tektro hoods feel. But I absolutely LOVE the way SRAM hoods feel. Unfortunately I'd have to switch brakes if I got the SRAM S500 levers since they pull a different amount of cable.
Does anyone have any experience with disc brake calipers, and/or any suggestions for disc brakes? I know Avid makes a BB7 road, but I have no idea how they perform compared to the mountain version. Is the clearance tighter?
I guess a lot of my confusion about this leads back to "why did Surly choose BB7 Mountain over BB7 Road?" My assumption is the lack of road disc lever options, so I'm also posting this thread to get input on that as well.
Sorry for the wall of text. Any input on this issue would help. Thanks!

Here's a terrifying little slice of American pie from the Newark Star-Ledger:
Meet Naomi Kutin, the world's strongest girl. She bench presses 82 lbs, deadlifts 209 lbs and holds the world record in the squat at 215 lbs. To put that in perspective, she can squat Eli Manning, or a baby elephant. The best part? She's just a 10-year-old. Naomi actually beat out a 44-year-old woman for the title. At her most recent competition, she set a new national youth record for the deadlift.
I'm not so sure that the "best" part is that she's a 10-year-old—maybe the "craziest" or the "nightmariest"—but I'd never say that to her face.

Reading cyclones.com, I see that this listed as Big 12.
Will this be on channel 5, or is this an ESPN3 night?

The first game will for sure be on ABC5 as they have a promo for it on their website's homepage! Not sure after that though.

Looking ahead again on the TV guide, Mediacom Connections 22 now has the game listed.
Direct TV 640 MASN HD
Since its BigXII network on a weekday, I'm assuming no eastern Iowa coverage.
I thought it was on espn2. F this!!l

Luckily for me i got ESPN3! The big 12 website says all of the games will be available on ESPN3
For those on the east coast, MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network) has it listed. Didn't know it had any affiliation with ESPN.

04/21/2012, Puerto Rico
Left Luperon in company of 5 other sailboats bound for Boqueron, PR. We left about 6:30pm and sailed the Atlantic coasting the DR to take advantage of the Katabelic winds blowing of the mountains and out to sea. Depth perception is terrible at night sailing near the mountains off to your lee. You think you are near shore but looking at your chart plotter you are well off. One thing about these impoverished islands is that they all have cell service.
We got down to the Eastern tip of DR and decided to go ahead and do the dreaded Mona Passage to PR since we had a weather window. It turned out to be your typical sail (motorsail) with winds mostly 30 degrees off the bow thru large swells. We all got seperated after the first 24Hrs.
My autopilot started slipping and finally quit so had to do the last 30 hrs behind the wheel. Thats when you really wish you had some help. Try reefin g the main in 23k winds at night in rolling seas. Not fun even tethered in. The topping lift also decided to come undone and the boom finished off my bimini. Shredded canvas and isenglass completely obscured me forward vision but couldn't leave the wheel to get it out of the way. And wpuldn't you know it a nice fish was on but couldn't do anything about it. Needless to say he got off.
After about 20hrs I found myself falling asleep behind the wheeln and would jump awake to find myself way off course. For many hours it was just plain grueling. Coming into PR there is a large rock right near a waypoint. It looked ever so close, but alas the chart plotter doesnt lie. I dare not fall asleep now.
Coming into Boqueron harbor Wayne and Pat's boat's engine died so I grabbed a line from them and pulled them into the anchorage. It turned out that everyone who bought fuel in Luperon got a lot more than diesel. Luckily I didn't. Couldn't hail any of the other boats. Found out later that Celtic Rover had to jury rig a rub golberg fuel strainer. Celtic Rover and Highland came in a couple days later having to divert to Mayaquez.
Anyway got Kolebrie safely in then dropped the hook and fell asleep.
This is a college weekend hot spot with music blaring into the wee hours. Called Customs and was told I had to have a $27.50 decal to clear in. Customs was a good 30 mile trip away so I went online and paid for it only to find out I still had to go back to Mayaquez to pay another $27.50 fine for entering without the decal. Clearing into PR was suspossed to be easy...NOT!
Waiting here for a front to clear thru then will start working our way to Gilligan's Island and then Ponce. They have a Sam's club there so it will be time to provision.
Great news! My first cousin, Chris Neal, is flying down to meet me Saturday to cruise with me. I'm really looking forward to his company. He is also bringing a new belt for Mr. auto. It will be great to have his help and to also have a diving partner.
Puerto Rico is actually a pretty good place to find some canvas to have another bimini stitched up... you have the frame and that's the most expensive part to replace, usually... now if you can only get on the VHF and find a fellow cruiser with a SailRite machine who's willing to teach you or to do it for cheap! Hats work, but it's blessed to have some full-body shade when you're out there in "another beautiful day in Paradise" all day!
Wishing you a glorious series of sails and snorkels in the Spanish Virgins and the USVI and BVI!
04/13/2012, Dominican Republic
It was motorsail overnighter from Big Sand Cay to Luperion(of course). You could smell the nice earthy smells coming way out to sea. Arrived before daylight so had to wait to see entrance between mountains. So different, mountains that really screw up your depth perception. Coming in like coming into a jungle river which I guess it was except it is salt water.
Got in and was intercepted by Papo who led me to a bouy (only $2/night and he had DR flags at $10). Dingied to the dock and walked to customs. A long 4 stop process for a total on about $96. It's Spanish here and a good thing most of them speak some English.
It's true culture shock here, first of all you have to find a bank and ATM to get pesos. Exchange rate was 38.1/1 us. Walking down the street everything is in Spanish. The meat markets have whole pigs heads for sale on the sidewalk. Vendors dive along in trucks and you can get local tomatoes, bananas, pineapples & etc.
Met a lot of a lot of expatriots who now live here. The livings is very simple and cheap. Even Bru Van Sant who wrote 'Passages South' lives here. Got to ride in the country with a lady who wanted me to meet her sister's American boyfriend. Super fine people and enjoyed their hospitality. Jamie and Charo are their names. The ladies cooked a fine lunch while Jamie (Lobo) and I talked. What a wealth of info he was.
Marianna and a friend of hers brought a vegetable over to the boat on my last day there and prepared lunch. Whatever the veg was it tasted just like mashed potatoes only orange in color.
kWould like to come back one day and tour the whole interior. A very beautiful place.
Well six boats leaving to go down the coast and do the Mona Passage to Puerto Rico.
04/12/2012, SE Turks
Arrived to the staging area for going to DR. This island is uninhabited and the water clarity is absolutely magnificient. Three sailboats traveling together now, Kolebrie, Highland and me.
Next stop Luperon, DR
04/07/2012, South Caicos
Arrived safely in South Caicos which is the capitol of the T&C. This a true fishing community. On shore they were cleaning conch and lobster. Had barrels of conch and lobster being processed.
My sailing friend dingied over for a nice cold beer and asked where to go. Three fishermen pointed to a bar across the street, so off we go. As soon as we had our beers ordered a native lady comes up to me and grabs me and started dancing with me. It was suspossed to be dancing but I would call it vertical lap dancing, most embarassing! I soon became the laughing stock of everyone there. I think this wasn't the first gringo.
Had to repent and go to a local church Sunday. A Methodist service and gosh it was beautiful. The youth gave the entire service and let me tell you the dance team was outstanding. Six girls about 8 to 14 in costumes gave their expressive dances with flags and banners. Justmarvelous! It was so good that I went back for the evening service and it was even better. Let me tell you the natives dress to kill on Sundays
That night a local large fishing boat drug anchor right by me so I had to up anchor and move. It drifted off into the sunset.
Tom and I did a walk-about and toured an old deserted mansion ( see Photo gallery)
04/06/2012, South Side Marina
Yesterday was a very sad day for me in that Ixnay died. He had been feeling poorly last few days and Thur took him to a vet. Turned out his kidneys had shut down probably from some type of poison like antifreeze. The doc said he probably wouldn't make and he didn't. Was nothing they could do. I'm really going to miss my companion and friend.
Moved the boat to South Side Marina to fuel up and top off with water. Bob the owner is such a gentleman. Took me to the vet, town and shopping. He gives a morning weather net daily and sponsers a barbeque on thursday nights.
Will be leaving to go back to anchorage and get ready to cross the banks tomorrow for South Caicos
All my love,
04/01/2012, Sapodilla Bay, Providenciales (Provo)
Arrived at anchorage after a long overnighter. Of course wind on the nose. Guide book said to go over hill to customs. Yea, right? After a trecherous walk up the 'hill' had to walk down the ridge line a good ways just to find the trail down. Would have been much faster just to walk around the hill. Customs is inside a very busy port with two different security check points. $50 in and another $50 to clear out plus $15 for something.
Tried walking into town but Ixnay was getting hot and tired. People kept driving by and honking, I'm thinking they sure are friendly. Town would have been a 5 or 6 mile walk. Found out later the honking was by "Jitneys" which is a ragged out auto driven by Haitians. Kind of like a taxi but only $3 to $5 where the taxi is $25. I understand that if they wreck they just open the door and run. Oh well, sailor's budget rules.
A semi truck driver picked me up one day and took me all the way to an IGA then he insisted on waiting while I shopped and took me all the way back to the boat landing. Wow! talk about going the extra mile. He absolutely would not take any money either.
Went to town another day and watched 'Mirror Mirror'. It was a great flick with Julia Roberts, also watched 'Clash of the Titans'.
Went up that hill again and took some pics of rocks signed by stranded sailors of long ago.
Met Tom a sailor in the same bay and helped him hang a radar dome and then he went up my mast trying to fix some lighting problems.
This place is very different from the Bahamas. Sailors are just ancillary to the true tourist who usually fly in.

Hillary Clinton Commemorative Stamp
The US Postal Service has issued a recall of a stamp they created with a picture of Hillary Clinton to honor her achievements while serving as the First Lady of our nation.
The problem was discovered when claims had been made that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes, and that mail which had been sent using the "Hillary" postage was not being delivered. Senator Clinton demanded a full investigation into the allegations.
A special Postal Service Investigation team was formed and after several months and many dollars spent, made the following findings:
*The stamp was manufactured properly.
*There was nothing wrong with the adhesive.
*People were just spitting on the wrong side

I am looking for some advice on a unit to take my son next year. I have been upland bird hunting for years since moving to CO 6 years ago (moved to CO w/ a new bird dog) and my 12 yr. son just passed his hunters safety. He really wants to go deer hunting next year and I am excited to take him since I haven't deer hunted in 6 yrs. My passed deer hunting experience has been in the central Sierras in CA and the midwest so CO will be a new experience.
After hours of research the past few months, I have been reviewing the draw percentages, success rates, reviewing past Eastman's MRS info and public land access. Since this will be my first draw we have no points so I narrowed my search to these units:54, 481, 42 and 36/35.
The hunt will primarily be focusing on my son's success so I'm hoping we see allot of animals to drive his interest in the hunt with a fair chance at taking a good "first" buck.
Any advice would be appreciated as I continue my research and prepare to submit for the draw in the next few months.

I was already sorta drunk, so I figured what the hell.
My wife and I were going to watch TiVo'd programming, but we stumbled on TWNBC's newest reality show, "Reef Wranglers." We lost far fewer brain cells watching that than any SOTU.

Since Jeff mentioned VDH yesterday, I swung over and checked out his latest stuff. This one here makes me think he should be a regular contributor to PW.
We live in an age of falsity, in which words have lost their meanings and concepts are reinvented as the situation demands […]
Why do we now live in an age of so many meaningless things?
Our elites in academia and the media have some culpability. Thirty years of nihilist postmodern relativism — no absolute truth, just constructs based on race, class, and gender privilege — have finally filtered down to the popular culture. An obsession with celebrity also has meant that we increasingly worship the antics of the wealthy and famous and decreasingly worry what they had to do to obtain or maintain both.
In the new progressive age, the exalted ends of equality sometimes require that the means of achieving a place on the public stage should remain largely unexamined. If there is no consistency, no transparency, no absolute standard, then it is because the task of fairness is hard and occasionally requires extraordinary sacrifices for the greater good. And to the degree that someone is deemed cool, then cool trumps most everything else: Google executives don't outsource. Rappers are not misogynists. Green apostles don't have conflicts of interest. And men in camouflage with assault weapons don't just kill less than 1 percent of those Americans lost each year to gun violence, but account for all sorts of vastly more evil things that we cannot even begin to describe.

I found after a time that constantly winning trivia contests leads to bannings, kinda like the card-counter's bannings in Vegas. Which, y'know, crap: 'cause if trivial knowledge isn't allowed, what the hell good is it?
Car in says February 13, 2013 at 10:45 am
SOunds like a lot of people played cribbage last night :
"Additionally, last night's SOTU was down double digits on all the networks from Obama's January 24, 2012 speech. In preliminary numbers, CBS was the most-watched network for the one-hour-plus speech and coverage with 6.22 million viewers. NBC was next with 5.79 million, followed by ABC with 4.59 million and Fox with 2.37 million. "
I was playing trivia at the bar, too. We did not have a good run this time.
dicentra says February 13, 2013 at 10:46 am
If there is no consistency, no transparency, no absolute standard, then it is because the task of fairness is hard and occasionally requires extraordinary sacrifices for the greater good.
"Fairness" is not being used as a standard but as a weapon for the aspiring Tsarist class to tear down anyone who might oppose them and to purchase the support of the unfortunate.
VDH gets this but Prager still insists that The Left values "fairness" over X, when in fact they value power and nothing else. "Fairness" is just a way to guilt the rest of us into letting them have their way with the economy and politics.
geoffb says February 13, 2013 at 10:52 am
One comment on an Obama line by Stephen Green summed up every bit of the SOTU.
OMG. "The greatest nation on earth cannot continue drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next."
This is like me berating the trash guys for all the empty liquor bottles they haul away from the end of my drive.
The saddest thing is that Obama has found a magic formula to be able to fool just enough of the voters for just enough time to get anything he wants done, done. The mess in his wake is not his concern and will come to be blamed on his enemies so why should he pay it any mind.
He leads the pampered class onward to the glorious future they know is out there.

I utterly despise the SOTU no matter who is President. Cheap political theatre ( Reagan started bringing in otherwise decent Americans to use as political props, thanks Ronnie), lies and bullshit from the podium, and worst of all the idiotic and endless leaping up every few lines to belch out meaningless applause. For Christ's sake you're the US Congress not the fucking Supreme Soviet. And he's not Josef Stalin, no matter how much he wants to be. The whole sorry royalist spectacle besmirches the idea of republicanism.
My ideal SOTU address: "Fuck you all. This concludes my prepared remarks." Now there would be someone who speaks for me.

bridgewater history
the original Red Building was built in 1896 as the offices and repair shops for the Union Fish Co-operative Cannery (currently The Cannery Pier Hotel) located at the end of the adjacent dock. The restaurant portion of the building was added later for the maintenance and construction of the Co-operative's fishing boats. As the flourishing canneries declined in the mid-1900's, the Union Fish cannery closed and its buildings fell into disrepair. Ryan Davis and Shawn Helligso purchased the building with a vision to restore and revitalize the historic space back to its vibrant role on Astoria's waterfront. We were inspired by their vision and leapt at the opportunity to create a riverfront sister restaurant to The Shoalwater, which we have operated for 27 years in Seaview, Washington.
with architects Lisa Chadbourne and Daren Doss (who have homes and offices in Seattle and Astoria), we have attempted to design a restaurant that honors the old-growth fir "bones" and boatyard history of the building while offering our guests an exceptional dining experience with breathtaking views of the Columbia. Most of the wood is original and has been carefully restored – old-growth fir soars above the dining rooms, the exterior tongue-and groove siding was re-planed and installed on the inner walls, and the well-worn floors retain character with their rough-sanded refinish. The use of steel in the fireplace surrounds, stanchions and bar shelving have been designed to reflect the shipping traffic on the ever-changing riverscape outside our windows. The pipe and fir "Fish in Nets" architectural sculptures in our reception area further highlight our connection to the rich fishing history of this pier.

Loan Modifications Reamortize, Don't Affect Fixed Rates
Posted By Jim On 12/22/2008 @ 12:08 pm In The Home | 9 Comments
I just got off the phone with Patty at BB&T Mortgage, who walked through all the options I had with them with regards to my mortgage. She was extremely courteous and explained everything in great detail, great loan officer. The one big bit of advice I learned was that a loan modification isn't what I thought it was. Loan modifications, at least by BB&T's definition, are for scenarios in which you want to change the amortization of your loan and thus your payments, they don't affect the interest rate on fixed loans. I was reading Jonathan's post about his refinancing/rate reduction experience [3] and somehow managed to get it in my head that he did a loan modification, but he just got a rate reduction from his bank. (It would be nice if BB&T would just ask for $500 and drop the rate!)
We only talked about it briefly but loan modifications are for when you want to change one or more terms on the loan and can only lower your interest rate if you have an adjustable rate mortgage. There are cases where loan interest rates can be modified as well but those are usually for when you can't make payments, they won't just drop it just because you ask nicely (too bad). In my situation of having a fixed rate mortgage, a loan modification wouldn't help me. The only thing I could do is pay a big chunk of principal and have the loan re-amortized.
So option one of a loan modification [4] is out but the rate I was quoted from BB&T for a refi is 4.875% APR on either a 30- or 20-year fixed with closing costs of around $3,100 to $3,200.
The game continues!

I usually wear glasses, but when I go riding for a day, I wear contact lenses. But I'm looking for what others wear on long brevets eg 600k + where you're riding day and night.
I don't like to wear glasses while riding because they fall off, get sweaty, wet with rain etc., so how do you handle this? Thanks!

I think you should give your security a serious review.

If you can use a sniffer then you should understand how the protocols work aswell
better use https. Incase more worried on security , use commercial certificates.
Donno for what reason implementor & we all opted for http for user logins!!
Any suggestions for opting mixed mode "http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Zmtlsctl" as we have many users already LIVE with the system..
Is there any implications or anything need to be looked into before going further with https..
I am totally new to admin as well as ZImbra so plz bear with me
Just go HTTPS ... if security is your concern, which I hope it is, then once you explain to your users about privacy then I am sure they will not mind having to type an additional 's'
Or the new 'redirect' mode. (Won't have to type that extra s in the url either - it's automatic.)
What we're saying is besides just the logins there may be more important things in the body of your emails to protect.
Also might upgrade that 5.0.9 > 5.0.16 (As some of the third-paty products we bundle occasionally have fixes for their own flaws.)
Now why have 'mixed' mode at all? Secure sessions do use a little more resources on both ends, and often browsers are configured to not cache data as long for https sessions. So some just want it for the auth part only.
Make sure your self-signed certs are current (there's a section in the admin console), or you can add commercial certs so users aren't prompted for an extra security confirmation. It's more of an identity trust issue than an actual encryption difference.
Unless your talking thousands of users probably no need to tweak zimbraHttpSSLNumThreads (50) the counterpart to zimbraHttpNumThreads (250). (Examine your access logs and look at concurrent connections/sec at peak.)

I the past week...I've seen almost daily updates on www.cyclones.com about the football practices (and other things of course). I don't recall this being prevalent in the past.
Loving that ISU has provided yet another resource for fans to actually get some meaningful information about the team.
In the past, I would only check the site a couple times a week. Now I'm checking it a couple times a day. Kudos to Pollard and his staff for making yet another improvement! :)
Not only have they had updates about practices, they have also been doing interviews with various players on the team. Most of them being with lesser known cyclones, or newcomers.
Pollard really has been going a great job with the new site. (I'm sure he puts the content there himself!) Way to go guy that works for the Athletic Department that posts information on the website. I salute you!

"'Scuse me man," comes the voice tugging at our shirt as the slender frame of 18 year old Archy Marshall makes his way through the crowd to join his bandmates nervously waiting on stage. As many people's current top tip, you could be forgiven for thinking there is a lot of pressure on the recent BRIT School graduate's shoulders. Despite this and the teeming anticipation within Electrowerkz tonight, Marshall seems unburdened and nonchalant about the whole affair.
Formerly known as Zoo Kid, the renamed King Krule (after the Donkey Kong character) brings together songs from 2011's self-titled EP with a host of new songs groomed for a potential new album. The band begins with the shoegaze number 'Has This Hit' which begins softly but is soon distorted with Marshall spitting and growling with punk angst lyrics. This is arguably the most startling thing for the many who are watching Marshall for the first time. For a chap with youthful and almost angelic features, his voice is that of a man who sounds like he has been smoking 40 a day since the womb.
It's not just his vocal delivery that contradicts his youthful veneer but also the content. An urbanite who puts a splash of hip hop onto influences like Joe Strummer and Billy Bragg, Marshall speaks of the realities of city life and being young and disillusioned. In 'Portrait in Black and Blue' Marshall protests to being, "trapped in a lizard state, minds at the gate, looking for an escape" with an intensity that speaks for a generation. There is a balancing act however with the romanticism felt with the brushed hip hop drum patterns, grooving basslines and scant harmonic guitar patterns that feel written more for a parisienne jazz club than a call to arms. The intelligence and intricacy in the songs therefore demand full concentration from the audience no more so than throughout 'Baby Blue' which whoozes and dances away before building up into an incredible jam of bass solos and interweaving guitars which leave the crowd warm and starry-eyed.
We are then fully plunged into an enchanted state with fan favourite, 'The Noose of Jah City' full of echoing reverbs that has us high with nicotine dreams. This follows on to current single, the introverted 'Rock Bottom' which he finishes with an inspired sample of The Streets', 'Empty Cans' amalgamating the lines, "It's the end of something I did not want to end" as the song fades to finish. It's not too far from how the crowd are feeling when the set finishes abruptly to first single, 'Out Getting Ribs'.
This concludes a special and quite momentous gig for the group who finish to rapturous applause from their hometown fans. It is not difficult to believe that with Marshall's off-kilter lyrics, gravel vocals and jazz/rockabilly/hip hop fusion that King Krule could be one of Britain's finest. "You're watching the King" Marshall cries during 'Ocean Bed', and as he leaves the way he came, parting the crowd with adulation, you can't help feeling he is right.

Optional and mandatory config properties - TypeScript related,
I am in the process of creating a TypeScript type library for Sencha Touch using JDduck json files. My intention is to define one TypeScript config class as a buddy for each main Sencha Touch class also declared in TypeScript.
The problem is that I started this process with an assumption that all properties in my XxxxxConfig class should be optional (TypeScript has a special syntax for optional class fields). However I notice that for a majority of ST classes the constructor method config parameter is mandatory, which implies some config properties must be supplied on class create.
Looking at the JSON attributes for each config property I cannot see an attribute that indicates which config properties must be supplied during class create.
Can anyone explain this ambiguity?

Anyone have a good recliner recommendation? I currently have a Lane and it's a POS that I've had to fix twice since I bought it 4 years ago.
It has to have wife acceptance factor. So no obnoxious recliners with coolers, built in remotes, puffy, etc.
So nothing like this.
I don't think you can go wrong with a la-z-boy. You will pay a bit more for it, but I think the quality is worth it. I believe the rocker and recliner mechanism have lifetime warranties.
I have a couple in my mancave right now. They are getting to the point that they need to be replaced, but they are nearly 20 years old and have made 5 moves. I think they have held up really well.
La z boy all the way. Their are built solid and have the ratcheting reclining mechanism.
I have been very pleased with my comfortable, stylish, and durable Alexander Taylor model. It's as good as new after at least 7 years of regular use. The only problem is that the parent company, Hooker furniture, appears to have dropped the line. They now feature Bradington Young selections that appear to be very similar in style and I would assume quality.
Research to get a good quality recliner. Bought a La-Z-Boy 20 years ago and still abuse it today. I do not know if LZB is still the best as I haven't needed a new one lately.
Have a Bradington Young leather recliner that is awesome. Looks like a wingback chair with wood legs. The wife should be okay with it because it looks more upscale.
"It's a jungle out there kiddies. Have a very fruitful day.
J. Buffett
I've had a la-z-boy for 16/17 years, and its on its last legs, but I still use it, and its still comfy. Used to feed my daughter her bottle in it, now she's driving. Where does the time go?

Armed Robber Convicted at Trial
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 09, 2010
ALLENTOWN, PA—Robert J. Pennington, 22, of Reading, Pennsylvania, was convicted today of 16 counts in connection with multiple armed robberies committed between December 27, 2007, and February 4, 2008, during which delivery truck drivers were assaulted and robbed at gunpoint in Reading, Pennsylvania, announced United States Attorney Zane David Memeger and Berks County District Attorney John Adams. Pennington was convicted by a federal jury of one count of conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by robbery, one count of attempted interference with interstate commerce by robbery, seven counts of interference with interstate commerce by robbery, and seven counts of using and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence.
U.S. District Court Judge James Knoll Gardner scheduled sentencing for April 2011. Pennington faces a mandatory 157 years in prison.
This case is part of the "222 Corridor Anti-Gang Initiative," a federally funded program designed to defeat some of the most violent and pervasive gangs in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The "222 Corridor" includes the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Reading, Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg. This initiative combines federal, state, and local law enforcement resources to attack gang crime and violence throughout the corridor.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Berks County District Attorney's Office, and the Reading Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph A. LaBar and Sherri A. Stephan.

FESTIVALS: Tomb Raiding Filmmakers Dig Up Pixels at NY Video Fest
by Ed Halter
(indieWIRE/ 07.16.01) -- In recent years, emotional debates about the death of film and the low-cost freedoms of digital video have been all the rage. But in the artier neighborhoods of the indie realm, the film versus video conundrum has kicked around for decades. Experimental artists often take strong sides about the aesthetic virtues of each format: some of the most hard-core avant-garde filmmakers wouldn't think of shooting video, or even transfer their films to tape, just as many video artists don't know the first thing about 16mm or 35mm.
But with the rise of digital filmmaking, these boundaries appear to be eroding, even among the format-noodling avant-crowd. Judging from the selections at this year's New York Video Festival (currently running until the 19th at Lincoln Center in Manhattan), both emerging artists and seasoned veterans are turning to video as the more flexible, inexpensive format of choice. Many of the more interesting works on view this year, in fact, are by directors known more for their work on film.
A prime example is Matt McCormick, a Portland-based director who premiers "The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal," a dreamy, heady mock-doc about the subversively artistic meanings behind the industrial-colored angular blotches painted by city workers to cover illegal graffiti. McCormick's previous 16mm film shorts, "The Vyrotonin Decision" and "Sincerely, Joe P. Bear," have screened and won prizes at festivals worldwide. For this new work, McCormick chose to shoot on DV and 16mm, and finished on video. But it took him many years to change from celluloid. "I hate the old video stuff that was predominate up until the early 90s," says the 28-year-old filmmaker. "I was not into that at all, tape-to-tape and linear editing. I spent the first several years of my filmmaking career using junk-store antiquated equipment. I had no money but lots of time to play with the film."
In recent years, however, he's learned to enjoy some of the benefits of home desktop editing. "Certainly, I would have loved to have had 'Graffiti Removal' on 35mm film, and everything optically printed straight from negatives, and all that," he says. "But for me, the really cool thing about video is that you can be a perfectionist, and you can do it for relatively cheap. And the sound is like 8 million times better. To have the freedom to work in stereo with all this range, to have low lows and high highs is just as important to me as it is to have really good visual image."
The aesthetic of "Graffiti Removal" likewise follows from McCormick's background in film. Shaky hand-held cameras or fat televisual pixels are nowhere to be seen. McCormick's video shares a semi-static, tightly controlled cinematic look that can be seen in the work of other videomakers like Miranda July, a fellow Portland artist who narrates McCormick's tape, or Elisabeth Subrin, who screened her video "The Fancy" at last year's NYVF.
The different emotional registers provided by film and video are one of the key structural qualities of Joe Gibbons' "Confessions of a Sociopath, Part One," the first in a proposed feature-length digest of his Super 8 and video diaries from the past three decades. In this installment, Gibbons revisits himself in his 20s -- doing art pranks, shooting heroin, shoplifting and dodging parole -- providing a comically poker-faced portrait of the artist as a young con. For Gibbons, one of the key trailblazers of experimental Super 8 filmmaking, video has provided a natural replacement for increasingly obscure mini-gauge film. "I started shooting video in '86, but I never put anything out on video until the early '90s or so," says Gibbons. "I guess I went to video because Super 8 just got too expensive for the way that I worked, which is shooting a lot of material and improvising. And of course they stopped making Super 8 sound film."
Like McCormick, Gibbons appreciates the increased flexibility in sound editing (something that was particularly difficult with magnetic-striped Super 8 sound film). In mixing new video footage with video transfers of Super 8 diaries, Gibbons creates new expressive relationships between the formats. "The latter day portions are shot in video, and the older more romanticized portions are shot in Super 8," he explains. "I used video to connote the present day because the footage has this reality-based, hard-edged look that underlines the harshness of how things turned out, which contrasted with the dreamy look that Super 8 gives."
Like Gibbons, Peggy Awesh has also been using multiple formats for years, although she's primarily considered a filmmaker rather than a video artist. For "She Puppet," however, she went beyond film and video to explore the emerging aesthetics of new media. A unique experiment with striking results, "She Puppet" is composed of re-edited footage of the game Tomb Raider that Awesh created by playing the game for several months. "I made Lara Croft do things that normally you wouldn't do to play the game," says Awesh. "It's a conceptual piece in some ways, because it's not my footage. The look was completely created by some programmer guys." So as Croft explores bit-mapped mock-ups of Egyptians tombs and ancient catacombs, Awesh is herself tentatively exploring the oddly pixelated textures of a game environment, poaching bits of unintentionally surreal moments created by program bugs and abstracted low-res graphics. "It's sort of a little philosophical tract about where we're at right now in terms of feminism and virtuality and the heroine," she says. "And you could say that it's kind of retro to make a video out of game material. For me, that was some sort of twist of irony. To take something that is like a hypertext and make it into a single-channel piece."
Despite the obvious pleasures provided by the many formats and media available to contemporary artists, ultimately, of course, a successful experimental video depends on its conceptual weight. Good art is about content, not platform. "I think a lot of the best people use whatever format is appropriate for their idea," adds Awesh. It's something important to remember, as much talk and writing about digital filmmaking leans on empty alpha-nerd discussions of aspect ratio and DV-to-35mm transfer technologies, and more than a few digital film festivals feel like hollow tech industry expos.
Venues like the NY Video Festival, however, remind us about the possibilities of cinema as an art. Or as Matt McCormick puts it, "I like to spend as little time on my computer as I have to, then turn the computer off as soon as possible, and go watch a movie in a movie theater."

Wood Hardener
Wood Rebuilder
use on large or structural restoration projects.
products work together, or separately, to restore and replace
rotted, broken, or missing woodwork.
Wood Hardener - Restores
Rotted Woodwork
Rotted Wood Hardener rejuvenates damaged wood and makes
it resistant to further deterioration. Used in conjunction
with Epoxy Wood Rebuilder, expensive woodwork can be
restored to its original appearance, often stronger
than the original wood.
Wood Hardener features a unique, one-part formula which requires
no mixing. It is water-based, environmentally friendly, and
has no strong noxious odor. Its thin viscosity allows it to
deeply penetrate into soft and rotted wood fibers before hardening
and bonding with the wood to waterproof, regenerate and revitalize
structural and decorative woodwork. Excellent for repairing
windows, sills, wood boats, flower pots, etc.
Wood Rebuilder - Replaces
Rotted/Broken Woodwork
strongest compound available to rebuild and replace rotted
and missing woodwork. Epoxy Wood Rebuilder is structurally
stronger than most wood, and can be molded and tooled to duplicate
intricate architectural detail. A perfect choice for jobs
where total wood replacement is impractical, or where there's
a desire to preserve as much original woodwork as possible.
Many times stronger than regular fillers and putties, it meets
the demands of any large wood repair application.
Once cured, Epoxy Wood Rebuilder can be treated just like
wood. It can be nailed, drilled, planed, sawed, or sanded.
Because it tightly holds nails and screws, it is excellent
for resetting stripped screws and lockset hardware, and for
repairing broken hinges, brackets, latches, etc.
Simple one-to-one mixing makes Epoxy Wood Rebuilder an easy
to use paste that cures to the color of natural pine. Remains
porous enough to absorb stain to match surrounding wood, and
can be painted or finished. Epoxy Wood Rebuilder is weatherproof
and does not shrink, making it perfect for both exterior and
interior use.

The rest of the story
Culture | Calvin McCarter didn't join the National Geographic Bee merely for love of academics; it was for love of God
WORLD reported last week that on May 22, 10-year-old Calvin McCarter out-answered a gaggle of teenagers to become the youngest-ever winner of the National Geographic Bee, the annual quiz-type competition sponsored by National Geographic magazine.
But here's fresh news: Calvin's parents almost didn't let him enter.
Calvin, a homeschooler, had participated in local geography competitions in 2000 and 2001, even making it to the state-finals tiebreaker last year. But his parents, avid proponents of a well-rounded Christian education, felt that Calvin this year should concentrate more on English composition and spelling-not his favorite subjects. Finally, the family struck a bargain: Calvin could compete in geography contests as long as he promised to work extra hard in language arts.
Calvin kept his end of the bargain: Even the week before the national competition (hosted in Washington, D.C., by Jeopardy emcee Alex Trebek), he labored at spelling and paragraph construction.
"I think people feel that homeschoolers can sit at home 10 hours a day studying one subject to prepare for these kinds of competitions," said Calvin's dad, Parnell McCarter, who works as an accountant. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
As the Bee approached, Calvin and mom Charlotte kept up his home studies in subjects like science, math, and theology, using curricula from Saxon, A Beka, and Bob Jones University, along with the Westminster Shorter Catechism for religious studies. The McCarters emphasize not just homeschooling, but a specifically Christian education for Calvin and his big brother Parnell, 12. "Neutral education is a myth," Mr. McCarter said, "and anti-Christian education is unwarranted rebellion."
In April, after winning the Michigan State geography competition, Calvin prepared for the National Geographic Bee. He mined everything from geography textbooks to Robinson Crusoe for geographic arcana, even finding the answer to one Bee question in WORLD. (Question: What is the capital of the breakaway nation of East Timor? Answer: Dili.)
Calvin's parents describe him as "extremely motivated and very self-disciplined." But even he was surprised when he beat out a 14-year-old to win the national Bee. "I was shocked," he told WORLD. "I was thankful to God and really surprised that I had just earned $25,000" in college scholarship money.
Lots of news organizations-CNN, CBS, NBC-offered microphones and cameras to explain how Calvin won: superior recall ability coupled with hard work. But fewer media outlets explained why Calvin won, said Mr. McCarter, who worships with his family at The ARP Church of Grand Rapids. Mr. McCarter said he believed his son emerged victorious so "that [he] should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ."
"It has been the prayer of the whole McCarter family throughout our son's participation in the National Geographic Bee that this would be the means for us to proclaim the glory of the Trinitarian God revealed in scripture," Mr. McCarter wrote in a news release issued after journalists, though gracious to the McCarters, failed to dig deeper into young Calvin's victory. "And so we proclaim it to all who are willing to listen and to read."
After his win, Calvin proclaimed his thankfulness to God during a whirlwind tour of news programs in New York City. "We were very busy, going from news station to news station. It was tiring, but fun." He's now looking forward to a summer where he can "relax a little bit more ... catch up on my other things, like sports, and not be studying so much."
Meanwhile, his love for geography and his parents' drive to improve his language skills may soon marry. Calvin's next goal is to compete in an international geography bee. What must he do to make the all-U.S.A team? Write a winning geography essay.

United Torah Judaism's MK Yakov Litzman berates Yair Lapid's party's relentless demand to instill universal draft; while Yesh Atid's Rabbi Piron says time has come to 'reintroduce spiritual freedom to new Judaism'
Moran Azulay
Published: 02.20.13, 18:57 / Israel News
Moran Azulay
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
may have shifted the coalition talks into high gear, but it seems to have little effect on the bickering between the religious parties and Yesh Atid, over the latter's demand for the implementation of the haredi draft.
Wednesday's plenum session saw United Torah Judaism
Chairman MK Yakov Litzman berate the centrist party, saying that "The religious sector protects Israel's core and it's your job to help it. Get used to it."
Related stories:
Speaking of the demand for the annulment of the exemption given to yeshiva students from IDF
service, Litzman said: "Many have tries this before and have failed. You too will fail. The United Torah Judaism will not compromise on the matter."
The acting deputy health minister further dismissed the demand to force the religious community's youth to enlist, saying that if Yesh Atid "bothered to look at the data, you would be surprised at how many want to perform National Service."
Yesh Atid's number two, Knesset Member Shay Piron gave his first Knesset speech earlier in the day, choosing a more appeasing tone.
"It is time that we instill a change in hoe Judaism perceives itself," he said. "Profound Judaism cannot rely on charity… but should instead strive to change its sphere. It's time for true Judaism to be redeemed.
"Unfortunately, the image of the Torah as a source for justice and inspiration, as a source of moral and value of one's being, has been eroded," he said.
Piron urged all Knesset parties to "Change the discourse surrounding religion and keep up with the time. We have to reintroduce the dimension of spiritual freedom to the religious discourse and free faith of what has been paralyzing it – and causing it to paralyze others – due to ancient agreements."
He concluded: "It's time to reevaluate the status-quo and work together to carve the identity of the nation."

Series on 100 Years of All-State brings history to life
Our series on 100 Years of Oklahoman All-State teams came to life last week.
It happened in a very vivid, tangible and unexpected way.
Producing the series was gratifying for us as writers, and generated lots of fun and appreciative feedback from readers, for which we're thankful.
We received a wide variety of interesting stories and photos, like the pictures of the 1964 All-State game program, which Mark House of Mustang purchased at a garage sale a few years back.
The series prompted Forrest Bivens to dig out the scrapbook his mother kept for him during his senior season at Moore in 1972 when his teammate Paul Sturdivant was an All-State selection. Bivens still had the newspaper with the 1972 team listed, along with plenty of fascinating stories about the players on it.
Moments like that happened all over, with each new list of past All-State teams that we published — some of the stories we heard about, while most of them were shared in small-town doughnut shops or through a quick text message reminding someone of that cool thing that happened way back when.
But the 100 Years of All-State package really came to life for us last Monday in our office, when Vian football coach Brandon Tyler pulled a small memento out of his pocket.
It was a 1943 Oklahoman All-State ring. Not a big, shiny one like the Oklahoma Coaches Association gives its All-Staters these days.
It was small and tarnished, and the words inscribed on it were tiny, but the history it personified was real. You could feel it when you held the ring in your hand.
The ring was awarded to Tyler's grandfather, Richard Moseley, an All-Stater from Muskogee in 1943.
Moseley was a good player at Tulsa and had the potential to play pro ball until a kidney injury ended his career as a senior.
He died in 1977, and Tyler's grandmother gave him a box of Moseley's old football memorabilia. There were items from Moseley's days as a tight end at Tulsa, and several other artifacts — including that ring.
"I was 4 years old when he passed away, and my grandmother gave me all of his old football stuff," Tyler said. "I didn't understand it much when I was 4, but he was a great football player, and it means a lot to me to have that stuff."
To everyone who emailed, wrote or called to voice your appreciation and share your stories on the 100 Years of All-State series — and to those who happily followed the stories and lists in a less vocal way — we thank you. We're glad you enjoyed reading it.
And know that we enjoyed bringing it to much more.

I have a perpetual license with 6 and was wondering if I will be able to upgrade to 7? I setup a test box to test the migration and see you have to activate 7. I'm hesitant to try to activate because it is a test box, not production. I also have to migrate from 32bit to 64bit so this will be a process. I just want to make sure my work isn't in vain. So my game plan is:
1. Migrate my version 6 32 bit to version 6 64bit on test box
2. Migrate 6 64 bit to version 7 64bit on test box
3. If all goes well do the same on my production boxes
I just want to make sure as long as my license isn't expired that I will be able to activate my server. Is that the case?
My License says it will expire Fri May 30 3000 12:00:00 so I have a little time
Thank you for your help

Many people don't realize the significant impact they can have on our environment through the use of eco-friendly products. One problem many people encounter when trying to pick environmentally friendly products is there is no universally identifiable standard which all eco-friendly products must adhere to. Instead, there are many third party organizations that establish standards in specific product areas. For example, if you were looking for an eco-friendly home appliance, you may consider limiting your search to Energy Star compliant products.
In cases where there is no eco-friendly standard for the product you are considering, you might want to look at the attributes of the product itself to help make your decision.
A few things you might consider:
- Look to see if the product is made of recycled, recyclable, or other eco-friendly materials.
- If one product is graded as more durable than the other, it can be considered more eco-friendly because it won't need to be replaced as often.
- If the product uses energy, look to see how much energy is consumed versus other like models.
- If the product uses water, look how much it uses versus other like models.
- Products that increase time between usage. If your product is more efficient and you need to use it less, it could have less impact on the environment.
