Six things you need to know about the U.S. economy
By Kevin Press, BrighterLife.ca
If U.S. President Barak Obama fails to win a second White House term this November, pundits will surely point to last Friday's U.S. employment report as the moment things began to turn sour for the Democrats in Washington. The consensus among economists going into the release of the May report was that nonfarm payrolls would be up a net 150,000 jobs for the month. The actual number came in at 69,000, a major disappointment. That pushed the unemployment rate up from 8.1% to 8.2%. The rate had not risen since June 2011.
It was a tough day for U.S. investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1.9% on Friday. The broader S&P 500 Index ended the day down almost 2.2%. The Nasdaq Composite fell almost 2.5%.
Was that an overreaction? Time will tell, of course. What's clear though is that the momentum Obama appeared to have created in recent months came to an abrupt stop on Friday. I called John Waggoner, a personal finance columnist at USA Today on Monday to learn more about what's happening.
Waggoner told me there are six things Canadians need to know about today's U.S. economy:
- The U.S. is still a good bet. "It's a bizarre period for investors," he said. "Even though the economy is slow, [corporate] profits are at record levels, cash is at record levels, interest rates are at record lows and tax rates are low. By all traditional counts, it should be a pretty good time to be in the market."
- Residential real estate is at various stages of recovery across the country, but homeowners still lack confidence. There's a lot of nervousness. People are afraid to put their houses up for sale because they aren't confident about the prices they'll get. Depressed home prices are hard to live with, especially if yours is worth less than you owe on it. "It limits your ability to move somewhere to get a better job," Waggoner said. "Nobody really wants to sell their house and have to write a cheque to the bank."
- Few Americans have embraced frugality. "I don't see a lot of austerity among most people," he told me. "I still see a lot of flat-screen TVs, a lot of decent vacations and things like that." Mostly, people are paying down credit card debt. But we can count on the U.S. consumer making a comeback eventually.
- The manufacturing comeback is real, and domestic energy production is part of the story. "The U.S. is undergoing an energy renaissance," said Waggoner. "We are the fastest-growing oil producer among non-OPEC nations." This is starting to make the U.S. look attractive to manufacturers again. It's early days, but there's reason for a bit of hope.
- The so-called fiscal cliff might really make a mess of things. Two major political problems face Washington on Jan. 1: Obama's extension of President George Bush's tax cuts expire and a series of automatic budget reductions kick in that will see more than $1 trillion slashed over a 10-year period. "None of this is conducive to growth," explained Waggoner. And the window for a political solution is almost impossibly small. "They have from Dec. 6 to Dec. 31 to fix everything, because they're probably not going to do it during an election period. I don't have a great deal of faith. Oh, and the debt limit is coming up too."
- Thankfully both President Obama and Mitt Romney are moderates. "They may not admit it, but I think they are," Waggoner told me. But there's only so much the White House can do. The two parties are so entrenched in their positions that compromise is all but unachievable. So political risk is very much an issue for U.S. investors. And on that point, Waggoner is pessimistic. "The U.S., at least as far as tax and fiscal policy go, has not made any extraordinary sacrifices … I don't see any willingness on anybody's side to do things for the greater good."

Category: Historic RestorationLocation: Denver, CO Size: 230,210 sq. ft.Masonry Used: 130 tons of new sandstone were purchased. Masonry types include brick pavers, plaster and sandstone.Submitted by: Building Restoration Specialties, Inc.
Restoring, "one of the nation's finest and most intact examples of City Beautiful-style park designs,"[1] presented some unique challenges for masonry contractor Building Restoration Specialties, Inc., (BRS). To return the Civic Center Park in the heart of Denver to its original glory, BRS had to preserve and reuse as much original stone and masonry as possible and find suitable substitutes for what could not be saved.
For the Greek amphitheater at the south end of the twelve-acre park, this meant removing and salvaging the historic brick pavers for reinstallation. First BRS documented the herringbone design created by the maroon, red and brown bricks. They saw cut around each paver and carefully hand-chiseled them to avoid breakage. They sawed the mortar off the bottom, cleaned them and loaded them onto pallets numbered by location so they could be reinstalled in the proper pattern. After the substrate was regraded for drainage and a waterproof membrane put in place, the pavers were reinstalled to recreate the original design. Not all the pavers could be reused, but replacements were confined to discrete areas where visual contrast was minimized. Molding was reproduced and installed where damaged plaster had to be removed.
The original rail and balusters of Civic Center's graceful balustrade walls were carved of beautifully veined sandstone from the now-closed Turkey Creek quarry near Ft. Carson, Colorado. Several of these had been damaged and some replaced with limestone. BRS president Rhonda Maas believed replacing sandstone with sandstone was critical to maintaining the integrity of the balustrade and honoring the workmanship of the original masons. With the support of the architects and general contractor, BRS searched for a close match.
The first stop was a salvage yard, where they found several pallets of Turkey Creek sandstone, enough for Dutchman patches on damaged balusters, rails, columns and parapets. For the larger stones needed to replace whole balusters, BRS sought samples from all over the United States. Laboratory testing convinced them that Wilkeson Sandstone from Washington had composition and properties similar to the original. Maas traveled to the quarry to visually inspect the stock and hand pick the stones that best matched the Turkey Creek swirls and coloring.
The columns of the Voorheis Memorial at the north end of the park were stained by water runoff, graffiti and etching from power washing equipment. BRS tried various cleaning solutions on sample stones until they found the most effective one. In some cases they carefully resurfaced the stone to release old stains, remove graffiti and get a clean, fresh face. BRS also restored the plaster ceilings in both the Memorial and the Theater. Due to a January start, BRS faced the added challenge of enclosing the structures and working under heated tents.
The latest phase of the project, pavers and granite edging around the concrete walkways of the Broadway Terrace along the east edge of the park, was completed in September 2011. Civic Center Park was removed from Colorado Preservation, Inc.'s list of Endangered Places and promoted to SAVED!

Science on a Sphere in Norman gives a worldwide perspective on weather
NORMAN — Daphne Thompson can have her feet on the earth and yet be looking up at it all at once.
That's because she's standing in the atrium of the National Weather Center, looking up at the Science on a Sphere, a 6-foot-diameter hollow fiberglass sphere that most of the time looks like the view of the earth from space.
The image on the suspended ball is a composite of four carefully synchronized images from separate projectors spaced around the globe like geosynchronous satellites.
One of the popular features of the sphere is that it shows a month of weather in motion, and it only takes a matter of minutes.
Thompson is Meteorologist/Educational Outreach and Media Relations Coordinator at the National Weather Center. Her responsibilities include leading all school tours, coordinating the other tours there and assisting with media. The sphere is a popular stop and likely will be once again during the annual National Weather Festival, an educational event open to the public Nov. 3 at the National Weather Center.
"The Science on a Sphere is a great way to show how weather moves globally," Thompson said. "So many people are used to seeing weather move onto the West coast and then move off the East coast. Many people don't think about where it comes from and where it goes. Using a one-month satellite loop, it is possible to see storms developing and moving around different continents.
"Everyone has a TV and has seen images on a flat surface, but most people have not seen a spherical image. They get the chance to walk around it and see the earth from different views."
Half-hour updates
Even though Thompson has seen it time and again in recent years, the weather scenario differs because it updates every 30 minutes.
As weather patterns change and shift, she might point out the progression of a strong storm system across the United States or a hurricane or typhoon.
And sometimes, she'll go to the sphere when there's no tour to be led. Instead she'll go look up at the earth as it hangs from three steel cables that are attached to railings on high floors overlooking the atrium.
At times, Thompson is watching for a specific weather system.
"Not only is it interesting to watch convective waves come off Africa and turn into U.S.-bound hurricanes," Thompson said, "but I have also read in the news about a super typhoon, and then gone to work and looked for it on the sphere."
Rick Smith, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service, Norman Forecast Office, is used to looking at radar images, but continues to be amazed at the worldwide weather perspective on the sphere.
"Even though I walk by it every day, I still find myself stopping and watching it," Smith said. "It's such a cool way to visualize how the weather moves around the planet."
David L. Andra, meteorologist in charge in the Norman Forecast Office, also said Science on a Sphere is certainly a focal point within the Weather Center.
"Since our office focuses on the local area, it's interesting to step back and see what happened with a storm system as it left Oklahoma on its way to the east coast and points beyond," Andra said.
Rotating billboard
Science on a Sphere can be found at museums and different locations not only throughout the United States but in Brazil, Denmark, France and at other sites internationally, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Thompson has numerous data sets for the sphere and she also has many images she created. At times the sphere is used as a rotating billboard to make building announcements. She has even put engagement photos on the sphere when couples use the atrium for wedding receptions.
"There are many interesting things to see at the NWC," Thompson said, "but many enjoy the sphere.
"I have heard people numerous times comment that they wish they had their own sphere."

10 Ways to Shop for Healthy Food Choices at the Grocery Store
Healthy eating begins with stocking up on healthy ingredients. These healthy ingredients are building blocks and without a solid foundation, it's tough to maintain a healthy diet. If your refrigerator and pantry are filled with healthy choices, it will be easier to choose the carrot sticks over the potato chips when you're craving a crunchy snack. Here are the National Kidney Foundation's Top 10 Ways to Shop for Healthy Food Choices at the Grocery Store.
- Make a Grocery List and Stick to it. Plan ahead by selecting recipes for healthy dinners and making a grocery list that includes the ingredients needed to make those meals, as well as some pre-determined healthy snacks, breakfast items and produce. This way you'll be focused on buying what's on your list once you arrive at the store and avoid unhealthy impulse purchases as well as multiple trips to the supermarket for forgotten ingredients. Resolving to stick to only purchasing the items on your list will benefit both your health and your pocketbook.
- Shop the Perimeter of the Store. This is where you will find most of the fresh produce, such as fruits and vegetables, as well as the refrigerated section where you can find dairy products such as milk, cheese, and eggs. By buying fresh products and making meals from scratch, you'll know exactly what you're putting in your body. For some new recipe ideas and meal suggestions, check out the Kidney Kitchen.
- Eat Before you Shop. Heading to the store on an empty stomach can be a recipe for disaster. When you're hungry, it's hard to stay focused on purchasing healthy items because everything in sight looks tempting. Eating ahead of time can help you to be less prone to make unhealthy food choices once you arrive.
- Stick with Bright Colors. Aim to create a rainbow on your plate and pay attention to the different colors found in fruits and vegetables so that you get a variety of nutrients. For example, orange carrots are high in beta-carotene and red peppers and red tomatoes are high in lycopene. Typically white-colored foods are lower in nutrients and more processed. For example, brown rice is a whole grain and is higher in fiber, vitamins and minerals compared with white rice which has undergone processing and in turn loses nutrients.
- Read the Product Packaging. In addition to reading the nutrition label to check for calories, serving sizes and nutrients (or lack thereof) in a product, make sure you know what the other terms on the food packages mean. For example, there are many types of fats and some are better for you than others. Beware of ingredients that are especially hard to pronounce, as these may be chemicals or preservatives.
- Don't be Afraid of Frozen Fruits and Vegetables. If fresh fruits and vegetables are too expensive or out of season, check out the frozen food aisle for these items. When fruits and vegetables are frozen quickly after being harvested, they retain as many (and sometimes more!) nutrients than their fresh counterparts. Frozen fruits can be used to make delicious smoothies. Just be sure to check the nutrition label to ensure that they do not have added salt, sugar, or sauce. For example, choose plain chopped spinach rather than creamed spinach for a healthy frozen veggie choice.
- Choose Lean Animal Proteins. Lean proteins are lower in fat, but still satisfying and can typically be used in the same ways as higher fat cuts. Select white meat chicken or turkey, such as breast meat and remove the skin before eating. Purchase beef sirloin, rounds, or loins and choose extra-lean ground beef for your next chili recipe. Salmon is an example of a fish that is high in protein and healthy fats. Also, while consuming healthy proteins begins with making smart choices at the grocery store, once you get back home, watch your preparations. Proteins should be baked or grilled, and not breaded or fried.
- Buy Whole Grains. Whole grains contain proteins and carbohydrates and offer more nutrients than refined and processed grains. The category of whole grains encompasses many different types of foods and some examples include popcorn, quinoa, bulgur wheat, barley and brown rice. Additionally, breads and pastas can also be made with whole grains. For a healthy and filling snack that is high in fiber, make your own popcorn and don't add salt or butter. Try to sprinkle on some salt-free seasonings or spices such as cinnamon to provide added flavor without added sodium.
- Avoid Frozen Meals. While quick and convenient, these pre-made meals are usually very high in salt which can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. It can also damage your other organs and lead to heart attacks or strokes, if not properly controlled.
- Limit Your Visits to the Candy Aisle. Candies are usually high in sugar and fat and add what are commonly referred to as "empty calories" to your diet. This means that they do not have much nutritional benefit. Also, it's especially important that CKD and dialysis patients avoid chocolate products which are naturally high in phosphorus. Instead, if you have kidney disease and you're craving something sweet, choose hard candies, fruit flavors or jelly beans which can satisfy your sweet tooth without damaging your kidneys, when eaten in moderation.
*If you have chronic kidney disease, diabetes or are on dialysis, you may need to limit certain foods in your diet, so it's always important to check with your physician and renal dietitian to find out which foods are best for you.

After greeting me, the first words out of his mouth were, "Do we need to buy any makeup?"
Buddy seemed to have decided that I was not only going to teach him to walk in high heels, but that I would also be giving him a lesson in the rudiments of cosmetics. If there was going to be a makeup tutorial, we certainly did need to buy some: Buddy was a somewhat swarthy man, made swarthier by the garden of whiskey roses blooming abundantly over his cheeks and nose. Even if I could have been persuaded to part with a few dabs of my precious Chanel foundation, it would have made him look a Kabuki performer.
"Yes," I said, "If I'm going to teach you about makeup, we're going to need to buy some. There's a Walgreens right around the corner, I can help you pick stuff out."
The Walgreens was about four blocks away, but Buddy insisted we drive. He claimed that, due to his recent knee surgery, he would be unable to walk long distances. I found this somewhat confusing as he expected to practice walking in high heels, but hey, fifty bucks was fifty bucks. And, if I could while away the time with makeup purchasing, I figured it would be a win for both Proctor and Gamble and me. At Walgreens, I helped Buddy select foundation to match his skin tone, a tube of mascara, and an eyeliner pencil. He seemed pleased with these purchases, but when we got to the register, things began to go downhill.
"You're paying for this, right?" Buddy asked.
No, I was absolutely not paying for it. When I explained that he could either buy his own supplies or go makeup-free, Buddy grudgingly paid.
I thought that would be the end of my problems, but I would soon see how very, very wrong I was.
Things started to get really out of hand when Buddy noticed the liquor store down the block from my apartment building. He decided he would stop in for "a little something". I was somewhat puzzled at his desire to consume alcohol at the relatively early hour of one in the afternoon but I wasn't too worried. What was the worst he could do? Pick up a 40 and maybe get buzzed? Buddy was a big man and he looked old enough to know his limits. I gazed idly out the car window as I waited for Buddy to return from his liquor store jaunt.

Photo: Susan MullaneAustralia Junior Fed Cup 2011 Champions
BARCELONA, SPAIN: The Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Finals, the world team championships for players aged 16 & under, get underway in Barcelona, Spain on Tuesday.
The Junior Fed Cup sees the return of Russia. The 2009 & 2010 champion failed to qualify in 2011 but returns this year with a very competitive team consisting of the trio of Elizaveta Kulichkova, the current junior world number seven, Alina Silich and Daria Kasatkina.
Russia will face very strong competition from a USA team containing the current junior world number one, Taylor Townsend. Townsend has had a phenomenal year, winning singles and doubles at the Australian Open before claiming the doubles titles at Wimbledon and the US Open.
Townsend's doubles partner for each of those Grand Slam titles is her USA teammate Gabrielle Andrews. Louisa Chirico, who holds a WTA ranking of 321, the highest in the competition, completes the team captained by Kathy Rinaldi.
Current champion Australia, spearheaded by the young talent Naiktha Bains, will face strong competition from a number of other teams, notably China who defeated Australia in the Asia/Oceania qualifying event.
South American champion Brazil will also look to go deep into the draw as will Germany, which counts junior number four Antonia Lottner in its team. This year's event also welcomes Latvia, competing in its first ever Junior Fed Cup Final.
The draw and opening ceremony will take place on Monday from 1.00pm. Play will commence at 10.00am on Tuesday 25th September.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It was a century in the waiting, but on Saturday history was made here as, with speeches, song, prayer — and an excavator bucket spray painted gold — a National Park Service contractor took the first chunks out of Elwha Dam.
ELWHA DAM, Clallam County — It was a century in the waiting, but on Saturday history was made here as, with speeches, song, prayer — and an excavator bucket spray-painted gold — a National Park Service contractor took the first chunks out of Elwha Dam.
To commemorate the official start of dam removal on the Elwha — the largest dam removal in U.S. history — dignitaries, conservation activists, and members of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe celebrated in a ceremony held on a bluff above the Elwha River, just upstream of the dam. Demolition of Glines Canyon dam, just upriver, began last week.
Both U.S. Senators, U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, and the Secretary of the Interior, Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, the governor, and chairwoman of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe shared a stage set just above the river, running past serene and green — and nearly free at last.
Setting the tone was Lower Klallam tribal elder Ben Charles Sr., who offered a prayer to open the ceremonies. In a dignified, deeply felt address, he said the spirits of many generations of tribal members were watching, that he could see them, and that he knew they were glad for the work being done.

"There is a lot of positive power here," Charles said. "Prayers are answered today that all down through the years have gone up from my aunties, my uncles, my ancestors. They lived on these waters and prayed when they saw the damages done. When all the things started to happen, many tears were shed. But I can see them because they are standing here now, in a great cloud of witness, and they are all so happy, some of them are crying."
Local high school students sang a song composed especially for the day, and some of the Klallam children included in the tribe's songs that opened the ceremony were little taller than the drums their parents carried.
Throughout the audience were heads that had grown gray with waiting for Elwha River restoration and a dam removal project that took nearly 20 years to realize.
Art created for the day transformed what had been a grim industrial site. Colorful banners fluttered from an archway fitted over the walkway across the top of the dam. A salmon, a bear chowing down on a salmon feast, the words "welcome home," and more created a magical entryway to the gathering grounds. In a pool just below the dam, the adult Elwha fall chinook swam, as if gathering for the celebration of the work undertaken to restore their home.
Dozens of members of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe of all ages turned out for the ceremony wearing black and red button blanket regalia and cedar hats, some decorated with white ermine, eagle feathers, and abalone.
"They are going to go up there," said Adeline Smith, 93, one of the oldest Klallam Tribal members, as from her wheel chair she watched the fish. She, and her niece, the late Bea Charles, fought for removal of the dams for decades. "I just wish she could have lived to see it. But I think she is happy," Smith said.
Noreen Frink of Seattle, whose late grandfather Thomas Aldwell built the dam, turned out too, for what she said was an emotional and historic day. "I have already talked to him this morning," she said, when asked if she had thought of her grandfather on this day. "And I told him, 'You should be happy that they lasted as long as they did,'" she said of the dams, "'and now the Indians should have their way.'"
Congress passed the authorization for the takedown of the two dams back in 1992, but it took 14 appropriation bills to come up with the money to pay for the $325 million project, noted Dicks, who called the project one of the biggest things he has done in his career.
"You think of 321 square miles of watershed. Seventy miles of (river) habitat. That is phenomenal," Dicks said. "It is great to see the salmon in there, against the dam, bumping their heads, and after 100 years, we are going to make it possible."
Construction of Elwha Dam began in 1910, to provide hydroelectric power for the Olympic Peninsula. The Glines Canyon dam was built upriver, completed in 1927. Neither dam had fish passage, against even the laws of that time, but state fisheries officials finessed a deal with Aldwell to substitute a hatchery for a ladder. It failed by 1922, and passage was never provided.
As a result four runs of fish in the Elwha, including the biggest chinook salmon ever known in Puget Sound, are at risk of extinction.
Taking out the dams will take two to three years, as contractors step the structures down in notches. Removal has to be done slowly because of the 24 million cubic yards of sediment trapped behind the dams.
Dam removal is expected to bring back not only all five runs of Pacific salmon that used to throng the river, but to also revive the entire watershed, most of it within Olympic National Park. Elwha dam removal is regarded as one of the best chances for environmental restoration anywhere the country, with so much of the watershed in pristine condition and permanently protected.
Dam removal comes after many years of argument and frustration. Dicks remembered in an interview that in his first public meeting on dam removal in Port Angeles, "There were 115 people there, and I asked how many people supported dam removal and five people stood up. Authorizing it is one thing, but then how do you make it happen?"
With many more years of work, as it turned out, and hard-won collaboration. For that reason perhaps, Saturday's celebration had a a sense of quiet, happy satisfaction, as many who had worked for so long to see this day happen gathered together to watch it come true.
"I'm sitting here today with people who have probably never checked the same box I have in an election," said Joe Mentor, a Seattle attorney who helped broker the three-way community agreement in Port Angeles that made dam removal possible. "But we are here, because of this."
U.S. Senator Patty Murray said she remembered when she took office in 1992 one of the first things she heard about was the Elwha dam project.
"I thought, seemed like a good idea, I figured they would be out by 1995."
She laughed along with the crowd, and offered thanks for the persistence that finally made dam removal happen. "I am proud to be part of something that is changing the course of history but also changing the people of the Northwest."
There was much talk of the history of the moment, and several speakers signaled a sea change in thinking about the environment, including the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Michael Connor.
"Dam removal is not the best option everywhere, but it was the best option here," Connor said. "We are assessing the cost and benefits of facilities today and this is not only a historic moment here, but it is going to lead to historic moments elsewhere across the country.
"I hope that the bureau is known as much for our expertise in river restoration as we are in building dams."
And then came what everyone had been waiting for: the yell from U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, joined by many in the crowd, to the operator of an excavator down below on the river banks, to begin demolition.
The operator started up the excavator with a roar, raising and swinging the gold-painted bucket around and bringing it down with a smash on the cofferdam helping to hold Elwha Dam in place for a century. Then, as Lower Elwha Klallam tribal members beat their drums and started to sing, the operator began taking the dam out.
"I'm just so happy," said Jamie Valadez of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. "An injustice was done 100 years ago. And now here is a chance to heal not only the fish, but the whole watershed, and the people."

At present all of our time is taken up with puppetry workshops and due to this, we have no plans for any forthcoming productions. However, we are working on several projects that we hope to launch in late 2008 or early 2009.
With regards to any pricings, as stated, this would depend on whether you wanted a simple half-day workshop for a single group of children, or a whole day with the entire school. You may also want to us to work with you on a project that might last several days or even over a longer time frame. Travel times would also have to be a consideration, as would start times. If your school or college is a major distance from our base and an early morning start is envisaged, then an overnight stay may have to be arranged. B&B of course (Not 5 Star).
As part of my own degree studies I worked with one school on a cultural project over a period of several weeks. I rehearsed one group in a dramatic representation of a real event in their chosen country's history. I taught the students the National Anthem of that country. We made flags and banners, created costumes & masks & sang traditional songs. We created artworks that reflected the history of that country, produced a visual display consisting of food, art, advertising and photography. Also with the cooperation of the school catering staff, we had a themed lunch on the performance day. A project like this can involve the whole school (Head teacher and Site Manager included).
At one school, we created processional candlelit lanterns from willow canes and tissue paper. These were then used in conjunction with storytelling activities. Storytelling sessions have also taken place in conjunction with 'SureStart'.

The next couple of days were taken at quite a leisurely pace, mainly due to my DW suffering from a severe back pain that began before we left home and despite physio and other treatments was showing no sign of abatement.
As we would be spending a few days at the GF, then we avoided any visit to the WDW parks until we checked into that resort.
Friday June 29th
Again another fine and sunny morning, so after breakfast and a bit of lazing around the pool we headed over to Celebration where we browsed the shops along Market Street, had a coffee at Starbucks before taking a very pleasant stroll around the lake taking in some of the wildlife.
This was followed by another trip over to DTD, mainly to renew our AP`s taking advantage of our DVC discounts [I had forgot to bring our DVC membership cards with me for our visit yesterday].
It was also another excuse to have lunch at the Earl of Sandwich I just love their offerings, which you can eat outside and do a spot of people watching.
Dinner this evening was at the Olive Garden along 192 where we were given a table after only a short wait.
Saturday June 30th
Wow, yet another lovely day. So far we hadn`t seen a drop of rain which is very unusual for this time of the year, although we had arrived shortly after an extended period of rain due to a lingering storm.
Anxious to top up her card making accessories, my DW suggested that we drove to the Michael`s store at the Loop where she was like a kid in a candy store and totally in her element!
We also called into a Target store to get some printer cartridges which are much cheaper over there, and then settled for a hot sandwich from the deli counter at Publix which we ate for lunch back at the villa.
The afternoon was spent lounging around the pool before having dinner at a Longhorn Steakhouse near to the Olive Garden on 192.
Sunday July 1st
We both were looking forward to this day as we were going to spend a few days at the GF which is a regular occurrence on our Florida trips despite owning a villa!
As usual I dropped our bags and my DW off at the entrance to the GF and I took the car to the self parking lot.
The normal procedure is for my DW to wait outside for me so that we could check in together when I could hopefully spot one of the CM`s I know at the check in desk who more often than not manages a room upgrade for us.
On the return from the parking lot, I therefore rehearsed my speech in my best British accent just in case Dave was not at the desk and I encountered someone new!
It was then when I saw my DW in tears outside the entrance to the GF.
Apparently we had been made Guests of Honour for our stay, and we had to enter the resort on a red carpet where we had our photo taken by a CM.
[What a contrast! A few days earlier we had a visit from the sheriff, and now we were being treated like royalty!] :lol:
The CM explained that we had been upgraded to Concierge for our stay and led us through the lobby, by passing the check in desk altogether. [Just as well, because I couldn`t see my friend behind the counter anyhow!]
As he led us through the resort en route to the concierge Sugar Loaf building, we passed by the GF Café where Marvin and Louise who work at the podium saw us and came rushing over amid cries of Welcome back the XXXX party along with loads of hugs, handshakes and kisses!
The concierge CM said to me I see that you know these folks, to which I replied Nah, never seen them before in my life, who are they? which caused amusement all around. :lol:
Sugar Loaf Building
We were taken to our room where I simply had to sign a cc authorisation form which was all that the check in procedure consisted of.
He then explained all of the benefits of concierge .free champagne, wine, snacks, continental breakfast etc.etc. that were available to us throughout the day, before telling us that there was to be a trial run for the 4th of July MK fireworks on the 3rd and that we should get a good view of them from our balcony.
Now don`t get me wrong. It was indeed a great privilege to be upgraded to concierge, and I was very grateful for this, however in a way it was wasted on us for several reasons.
Firstly the thought of spoiling our dinner by chomping through all of the free snacks during the day scared me.
Secondly, I always like a fry up in the morning, so no continental breakfast for me!
Thirdly, as our stay progressed I was disgusted at the amount of food and booze that was wasted by the other guests a case of Well it`s free so why not have it?
Each evening half filled glasses of brandy, champagne and suchlike were just simply left on the tables.
All in all I`m glad that I experienced the concierge experience, but would I pay the extra for it?....no! :nono:
After unpacking, we headed over to Gasparilla`s for a snack lunch. Here we ran into Kim [a Chinese lady who has worked here since the GF opened] who again greeted us with open arms and showed her some photos of her lovely daughter who had just graduated.
Talk about us being made welcome eh? :thumbsup:
The afternoon was spent at the MK which is conveniently only a short monorail ride away from the GF.
Here we did the HM before choosing a good spot in Frontierland to watch the afternoon parade. It was remarkably quiet at the MK so finding a good viewing location was no problem at all.
After munching through an ice cream, we headed back to the GF on the resort launch where we lazed around the pool for a while.
[One of the advantages of owning AP`s is that you can really do the parks at your leisure without the need to try to fit everything into one visit. I guess it also helps if you have visited WDW quite often because then you don`t feel the urge to see and do it all in one hit.]
Dinner this evening was at Narcoosee`s where we had hoped to get Steve as our server. [Steve is a good friend of Ricardo, who took us over to his house on a previous visit.]
Sadly Steve`s section was very busy, so rather than wait for ages, we were served by someone else.
We have always found Narcoosee`s to be a bit hit and miss, and this evening was definitely a miss!
Although the service was excellent, my DW had to send her entrée back as it was presented barely warm ..and she rarely complains about this sort of thing. :thumbsdown:
Also, the cost of the meal was considerably higher than we later paid in a much more up market venue, the Blue Zoo.
On the plus side though, there was a good view of the EWP, and Steve did manage to come to our table for a chat which was nice, however I doubt whether I will be in a rush to have dinner there again until I hear some rave reviews about the place. Hopefully things will improve after it`s refurbishment that Steve told us was to take place very soon.
After a quick stroll around the resort we headed to our room, taking care to avoid any of the free brandy!

Project Runway All Stars Recap: And The Winner Is…
January 18, 2013 04:53 AM by Donna W. Martin
Tonight's episode of Project Runway All Stars brought us the much-anticipated finale! Season 2 started with thirteen designers but only three remained to duke it out for the biggest prize in Project Runway history. Who won? And who went home? Take the jump to find out!
For the final challenge, each of the three remaining designers had to put together a high profile runway show featuring a mini collection. And while this type of show typically takes months to design and create, Anthony Ryan, Emilio, and Uli had only four days! But they had full creative license to choose their theme, the music, and the number of pieces that would be in their shows.
After Carolyn described the final challenge, the designers went back to the hotel to brainstorm their collections. Uli chose a winter wonderland theme called 'Mystical Winter' because she had done well previously with light colors and fur and feather embellishments.
Emilio chose 'Urban Plantation' as his theme. He said he wanted to make a controversial statement by portraying the working women of America using classic American fabrics rooted in men's work clothing.
Anthony Ryan chose 'The Thin Line' as his theme and wanted to strike a balance between dark and light places.
After they nailed down their themes, they were off to Mood where they had a budget of $3,000 and 90 minutes to shop. Then they went back to the workroom to get busy on their collections.
Carolyn came in and was accompanied by designers who had been previously eliminated from the competition. She explained that Anthony Ryan, Emilio, and Uli would get to choose a helper to assist them for a total of 30 hours. Anthony Ryan asked Joshua to be his helper but he declined saying, "I love you but I'm too tired." So he chose Kayne instead.
Next, Uli chose Casanova and Emilio chose Althea. The designers and their helpers went to work but before long, day one was over.
As day two began, Casanova napped in the lounge while Uli worked…some helper! Joanna came in and met with each of the designers to review their work in progress. Uli was working with white and off white fabrics, leather, and fur. Joanna said her designs were very coherent and she understood the girl who would wear them but told Uli to remember that this was a runway show so she should have at least one spectacular piece.
Anthony Ryan said he wanted to take something innocent and create some chaos in it. Joanna said it was going to be a great show and she couldn't wait to watch it.
Emilio had all of his sketches and fabrics laid out on his worktable but he didn't have anything on the manikin. He told Joanna he was going for a mix of 1840's Aunt Jemima and 1940's Rosie the Riveter. She said his collection was very exciting.
As Joanna was leaving, she wished them all luck and told them to use every second they had to work on their collections. Then each designer consulted with Matin from Laura Mercier and decided on the makeup and hair look they wanted for their models.
Then day two was over and the designers went back to their hotel where they shared a toast and thanked their helpers.
Day three started with the designers and their helpers working as hard as they could to finish the collections, but before they knew it, it was time for their helpers to leave. Their 30 hours were up.
The designers said it was a chaotic and stressful day and Anthony Ryan said he had to win or he couldn't do this anymore. He said he simply didn't have the financial means to continue and that drove him that much harder to try to win.
Day four arrived. The designers went to Gotham Hall where they would show their collections. They had three hours to complete their work.
The models arrived and went to hair and makeup before getting dressed. Then it was show time!
Emilio's collection was first. He had eight looks. Then Anthony Ryan, who had 7 looks, followed by Uli who also had 7 looks in her collection. All the designers had a great show and impressed the judges and members of the audience.
After the show, the designers met the judges back on the runway for their decision. The judges talked to each designer individually while the other two waited in the lounge.
Emilio was up first. Georgina said he did a "spectacular job." Isaac said he was "so pleased" that Emilio showed something that was so "focused," but said he went wrong where his designs "went junior." Carolyn said the collection was beautifully constructed. And guest judge, Liv Tyler said she loved his use of color and detailing.
Anthony Ryan was next. Georgina said he had a "spectacular collection," but let himself down with the last look because the "hem was puckering." Isaac said, "That dress blows my mind," referring to Anthony Ryan's black and blue dress. Liv agreed saying it was "so sexy." Guest judge, Margherita Missoni said the dress was unique and very appealing. And Carolyn said his collection made her feel like she was looking at a "contemporary art collection."
Then the judges spoke to Uli. Isaac said he couldn't believe how "great" the collection was. Georgina said she was "astonished" that she had created such a "concise" collection but the faux furs looked a little inexpensive. Carolyn said she was "crazy" over the neckline of the first piece. Margherita agreed saying she loved the "fairytale quality." And Liv said she was "completely blown away" by the detail.
Then it was time for the judges' final deliberations. They recognized they were looking at three very distinct collections and all of them were good. They had mixed feelings and went back and forth trying to decide who the winner was but were finally able to make a decision.
Then they called the designers back to the runway. Carolyn said, "The second runner up is Uli."
Anthony Ryan and Emilio both seemed a bit surprised that Uli was in the bottom. Then Carolyn said, "And now for the moment we've all been waiting for…the winner of Project runway All Stars is… Anthony Ryan."
Emilio looked deflated. Anthony Ryan got emotional and said, "Really?"
Liv spoke up and told Anthony Ryan she hoped to be the one to wear his black and blue dress. Then Joanna ran out to hug and congratulate him, followed by all the previously eliminated designers.

Based on this collection I think Uli should have won. I love Emelio's work but hated the print he chose and things like the bandeau bra top over the white lace blouse. I didn't like seeing the block designs of AR over and over. I thought some of them were ugly.

Athony Ryans designs reminded me of the Partridge Family's bus. They were way to simple and not creative at all. I wouldn't wear any of his designs from the finale even if I could for free. Uli should have won. Her designs were creative, fun and beautiful. They were something I would wear to any special event. I have watched this show religously and will never watch it again. What were these judges thinking?

very disappointed that neither Emilio or Uli were not the winner of the all stars. Anthony Ryan's collection did not compare to Emilio's or Uli's.
It was so simple and plain and even the judges didn't like his final piece. very upset with the outcome!

I was very disappointed because I have watched almost all the seasons of project runway. The person I choose to win never wins. I really think Emilio should have won. Anthony Ryan had all of the same dresses just different colors. Emilio had pant suits, jackets, dresses etc. His collection was the best.

January 19th, 2013 at 12:59 pm
I don't think was any question, Anthony Ryan was the best, and I think he showed that as well in the other competitions over the past few weeks
I was bothered by Emilio, to me it came across as being racist
Just think if Uli had sent out on the runway
all white, blonde, blue eyed models,
Blacks would be up in arms
but little is said when that policy is reversed
one of the judges should have mentioned this
Mei Says:
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:52 pm
^Fitzzz, you really don't get it, do you? I'm not African-American (I'm actually Asian), but I understand Emilio's statement when he let all black women walk the runway – it's NOT being racist, it's about sending out a bold statement that IT NEVER HAPPENS. you always see all-white or mostly-white models walk the runway. most designers who do not want to be criticized as racist JUST THROW IN one or two black models and that's it. so what Emilio did is not a racist act, it was a BOLD STATEMENT saying that there should be more colored women walking the runway. such a stupid comment.

Manly Wine Country: Ideas for a Napa Valley Father's Day
By Ian White on June 16, 2011 9:00 AM
I'm the last person to ridicule any man for drinking wine instead of beer, or heading up to "romantic Napa Valley" for a day with the bros or fam. But I know that sipping wine certainly doesn't top the list of tough, "manly" activities. Here are some wine country experiences that won't drag down any macho egos on Father's Day.

Whale's Voyage is a game of roles of the Austrian Entwicklerstudios neo software, which was renamed meanwhile in skirt star Vienna. Whale's Voyage appeared 1993 and by Hannes Seifert and Niki Laber was programmed.
Whale's Voyage appeared first for the Commodore Amiga and few months later also for the PC. For both systems a CD-ROM version appeared toward end of the yearly 1993. 1995 appeared exclusively for the PC of the successors Whale's Voyage II.
Whale's Voyage is a Science Fiction game of roles and plays in the distant future. Place of the action is a solar system consisting of the six planets Lapis, Aroboris, Castra, Sky boulevard, Nedax and Ionoid.
The player provides a person's group (party), consisting of four characters, at the beginning. The player specifies appearance and character characteristics as well as special abilities of a character after common sample. Subsequently, the actual play begins. The player is on board its spaceship, the title-giving Whale, which in the orbit of Castra is. Here already it shows up that Whale's Voyage is not a conventional game of roles, because on board the spaceship the play represents a commercial simulation in the kind of '' elite '', in which the player can make money by the transport of goods. This money uses the player, in order to rig its spaceship, which comes again the further commercial efforts to property, since the player can defend himself in such a way against attacking space Piraten. The fights with the Piraten become in a round-based tactical simulation expenditure-fenced.
The actual game of roles part begins, as soon as the player its party teleportiert on the surface of a planet. There it meets already soon computer-controlled characters, which to it against money most diverse orders offer. So the player is to bring an art heart for example on behalf a dealer after Lapis or help a citizen of Aroboris on the search for its entry door key. After fulfilled orders character Upgrades wait for the party.
A further play section shows up, as soon as the player equipped his Whale with a daughter orbital glider. With this flier it is possible to explore the surfaces of the planets. Here the glider is steered similarly as in a Shoot'em UP.
Although the play sections are different, they are again and again interconnected, as the player is for example assigned to transport merchandise to other planets. Altogether Whale's Voyage represented therefore a quite innovative and varied game of roles, which besides offered an unusual space scenario.
Whale's Voyage corresponded to the standard of the early 90's usual for games of roles in technical regard. The diagram format on the PC was VGA diagram in a dissolution of 320 x 240 pixels in 256 colors. The attendance of the planet surfaces were represented in a 3D-Fenster, in which bit-map figures acted. The glider sequences resembled as already described a Shoot'em UP. The remainder of the play consisted as far as possible of bit-map menus.
Whale's Voyage offered an acoustic output as one of the first plays. The remaining selection of sound effects was rather spartanisch and appropriate.
The sound TRACK was composed by Hannes Seifert and offered into MIDI similar formats futuristic electronic melodies. The CD version offered on CD-Playern playable bonus audio TRACK, which was held in the Dance style to one.
The Amiga version met at that time good criticisms on the part of German-language magazines and is considered today as a classical author of the category. The PC version appeared against it somewhat later and against it afterwards fast by plays such as country to OF truck or Eye OF the Beholder was

The Dahlen family lost their daughter in a tragic accident on Sunday, April 11th, 2010. Not knowing what to do to honor this sweet child I just did what I do in times of happiness and sorrow alike…I wrote something. My heart is overflowing with sadness for this family. My prayers are ceaseless for them and my thoughts are with them constantly.
Angelic is your face
Beauty in its rarest form
Innocent and pure
God holds you in his arms
Always in our hearts
Inspiring us to love
Looking down upon us in Heaven from above
Hearts long for your laughter
Only a memory away
Precious child how we will miss you
Each and every single day

If I could be reborn, one of the careers I would choose would be archaeologist. Who else is as engaged in rediscovering what we might otherwise forget than those who dig up the earth that represents the last few centuries of life on earth?
So, it is no secret that our very first president, George Washington, kept slaves — some 300 of them, nor that he decreed they be freed upon his death. But this particular find, in the house where President Washington lived (before there was a White House), show how the nation's leader maintained a secret passageway for his nine house slaves to come and go, outside of the view of his many esteemed guests.
This, indeed, should be converted into a national museum, to counter the ultra-phallic Washington Monument that dominates the Mall. Washington relied on his slaves to maintain his lifestyle in his presidential palace, yet he did so hypocritically. After all, even in the late 1700's, it would have offended many foreign dignitaries to witness the leader of what eventually would be come to be known as the "free world" living in a luxury based on exploiting slaves.
Every time another artifact of that era comes to light, I am struck by the ugliness that made the privilege of our "Founding Fathers" possible.
And these are the guys the strict constructionists among us worship?
Not me. The most useful thing we could do as a society is to revise history and bring honesty to our collective story. Maybe then, our ugliest problem, racism, could finally find its only possible resolution: apology, forgiveness, integration, reconciliation, and the recognition that all people, regardless of race, religion, or national origin, are truly created equal under the eyes of "God," which in this country, is the Constitution.

The Willowick Condominium Complex in Columbus, Ohio was built in the late 1970's and is the first condominium complex constructed by Bob Webb Buidlers, Inc. Phases I and II were incorporated in July of 1977 as planning and construction began on Phases III and IV. Because of its beautiful location in a wooded area surrounding Noble Run Creek as well as its distinctive design and appearance, the Willowick Condominium Community has won several awards:
The Design for Better Living Award from the American Wood Council, pictured in the July 1976 issue of Better Homes and Gardens
1976 Honor Award from the Columbus Chapter of the American Institute of Architects
City Beautification Award from the Columbus Convention Bureau, November, 1975
Phases I and II comprise the 19 buildings south of Noble Run Creek and are managed by a unit owner association. Phases III and IV are the sixteen buildings north of the ravine and are managed by separate owner associations. The Willowick recreation association and its board of directors who represent all 4 phases of the complex, manage the Willowick tennis courts and pool facilities. The 76 units of Phases I and II are an owner-occupied, non-rental community and are managed by Clayman Property Services, (614)842-1922, firstname.lastname@example.com. Williowick residents are a diverse and lively group who are dedicated to maintaining our attractive, inviting community. Phases I and II publish a quarterly newsletter, the Willowick Quarterly, which contains valuable information about association concerns, social gatherings, neighborhood news and other topical articles.

To the editor:
Every year about this time, the Great Soothsayers come from a far-away galaxy � or where Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul live when Congress is in recess � and grace us with their grand predictions about what to expect in the coming year. Now it has been awhile since I�ve made a stab at predicting anything, be they grand or not so much; so here are some of my thoughts and predictions for 2014.
n The United States will bomb Iran. The Mullahs have been eating their Wheaties and are feeling frisky. Now Obama needs something to prove he�s not the wussypants, girlyman that he really is. Valerie Jarrett will order the bombing of Iran�s nuke sites. Barry will be playing his 190th round of golf.
n China will challenge America militarily. They have to do this now as they know Obama is weak. They also recognize that his successor will be a stronger adversary as whoever he or she is could not be weaker.
n Eric Holder will resign as AG after more of his illegal actions see the light of day. He will lay low for a couple of months and then move to Hollywood where he will become the ambulance-chaser to the stars.
n The Republicans will keep the House and gain majority in the Senate. I hope this happens, but I fear it might be like a dog chasing a car snapping at the tires, and finally catching the car.
n More and more blue state residents will relocate to the southern red states and immediately start griping about how much better it was up north. Southern natives will continue to refer to these people as GD Yankees.
n And lastly, the Kardashians will continue to be watched by a lot of people who cannot say why they watch them as they have no talent other than having babies out of wedlock, rampant profanity and a proclivity to discuss their lady parts as normal topics around the dinner table. They will, at the direction of mommy-in-charge, Kris Jenner, try to beat the ratings of the Duck people. This will not happen, as the Robertsons are everything that the Kardashians/Jenners are not � you go Phil!
So, that�s it, gentle readers. I hope you keep me in mind when these events unfold, and get back to me for more downhome soothsaying. See, the good thing is I live in this galaxy; and I don�t have that far to travel.

So I looked up results for LAX crapshoot, errr I mean race. They list me as DNF. I kind of understand only posting top 20 at race, but reporting DNF thats pure BS.
So I looked up results for LAX crapshoot, errr I mean race. They list me as DNF. I kind of understand only posting top 20 at race, but reporting DNF thats pure BS.
I see hills.... Bring them on!!!
Stay calm and bring a towel.
You finished and they listed you as DNF? That isn't right. Even if you came in dead last, it would seem you'd not be listed as DNF.
Well you are required to protest any incorrest results within 15 minutes of the resluts going up. Unfortunantly after that you're out of luck. Having said that, no they shouldn't have listed you as DNF, but it's up to you to bring that to their attention.
Cat 1 o-meter: cowering in fear
no, it's not standard practice. i finished literally 3 seconds behind the winner and i was also listed as a DNF. it's just laziness on their part, and when you apply for an upgrade you should just point out and question why 3/4 of the field was listed as the same. to my knowledge, there were no official DNF's in the 4's race.
the problem with protesting the results when they are posted is that no one knows that whoever doesn't happen to appear on the unofficial results list is going to go down as a DNF. the results of this race were meaningless to me, but regardless, it's just a totally irresponsible move on their part.
although i had basically given up to avoid being taken out at 40mph, i still finished in the pack. so seeing that just added insult to injury.
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." - Leonardo daVinci
OP: Which url are you looking at to see the full results? All I can find for Cat 4 is the list of the top 23, but no mention of DNFs or the rest of the pack fodder (which was where I was)
edit: OK I found it on the USAC website. I see that everybody not on the posted results were listed as DNF. I guess that means I'll be lodging a protest at every event where I don't show up on the results. "Hey, I don't see my name, but I finished 64th! May I view the video, please?"

I thought pack finishes count toward upgrading from 4s. Not that I'd upgrade without a podium finish, but someone might want to.
Interesting, I didn't even race and they listed me as DNF.

From the USAC website
But yeah, upgrading when you can't get on the podium isn't usually a good idea, except maybe to help teammates in the higher cat.4-3: 20 points in any 12-month period; or experience in 25 races with a minimum of 10 top ten finishes with fields of 30 riders or more, or 20 pack finishes with fields over 50. 30 points in 12 months is an automatic upgrade
Unfortunately it is standard practice. In the good old days, you were lucky if they posted the paying places.
It does kind of boggle my mind that running race organizers can keep track of thousands of runners in a 10K but bicycle race organizers can't place less than 100 cyclists. However, that's the way it's been for forever (or at least as long as I've been racing).

Lightning Velo Cycling Club: http://www.lightningvelo.org/
in the old days they picked by eye, no cameras no video. you were lucky to get top six listed. the good new was that there always 20 guys who claimed to have placed in the top ten
don't feel so bad about being listed as dnf, i placed 7th or 8th in the 35+ race and should have got some sort of prize but i was not able to check the unofficial results as i was racing the next race and when i was done the results were official and to late to change. they didn't have me listed at all.
Well, I have pics of some of the finishes, so we can maybe prove you were with the pack if u need it
Wow, thats f'd up...
thanks, mr.+mrs. umd, i'd love to see some of the 35+ race finish if you have any. i was 7th or 8th on a dark green cannondale and my team kit is white, yellow, gray and black and had a yellow number and was closer to the booth at the finish line
Was the 35+ right before the 4s?
This was the only finish we got besides the 3s, 4s, and 5s. I'm not sure which race it was, but it was the one that ended right before the 3s and 4s started.
good shot! that's me to left of the winner, looks like i was 6th or 7th from the pic with the white sleeves and yellow/red shoes. can't tell if there was anyone to the right of the frame. from the shadow it look like there might be on rider behind the winner that we can't see but i can see his shadow. that' would make me 7th or 8th, i don't know if i beat the ironfly or not (the guy in the light blue/dark blue that's crossing the same line as me in the photo)
i'm sort of glad i wasn't in the points as i have 12 of the 25 points i need for cat 2 and missing those 1 or 2 points would really bother me.

noticed a bug in 7.0.0_GA_3077.RHEL5_64_20110127201852
when i disable preferences tab in default COS, than login by user of this cos, and try to change view of ajax web client: read area from bottom toggle to right or fully disable read area. I get an error:
method: [unknown]
msg: permission denied: can not modify options
code: service.PERM_DENIED
detail: soap:Sender
in 6.0.10 I'm not found this bug.
I disable preferences because of Bug 33593, that allow users to change their "from:" property, when option "Persona" are disabled too. I can't allow my users call themselves like a "Vladimir Putin" or "Dmitry Medvedev"
