Willis Tower (Sears Tower), Chicago
Great view! (Also check out the John Hancock Building)
Posted on: September 22, 2008 at 12:09PM
When in Chicago, it's definitely worth visiting the Sears Tower for a splendid view of the city. Better yet, check out the John Hancock building. There's a great restaurant/bar near the very top of the John Hancock building where the views at night are absolutely stunning. (Plus - you'll probably see one or two couples get engaged while you're there).

Looks like they are coming early !!The Partnership and the Corporation are providing updated 2010 distribution and dividend guidance to reflect continued positive results since the original guidance was issued in March 2010. The Partnership's financial guidelines, which govern its considerations as to the timing and amount of any future distribution payments, include achieving a ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA of less than 4.5 to 1 (pro forma for the payment of any distribution), sufficient coverage of any distribution from cash flow so the Partnership can continue to move toward its leverage goal of less than 4.0 to 1, and a positive outlook for its business. Assuming the previously announced range of adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow guidance, the Partnership now expects it will generate sufficient distributable cash flow to distribute $0.25 per unit for the third quarter of 2010, payable in November 2010, with strong coverage from cash flows. Assuming the receipt of distributions from the Partnership at this level, the Corporation expects it could pay a dividend of $0.07 per share for the third quarter of 2010. The payment and amount of any distributions and dividends will be subject to approval by the Boards of Directors of the Partnership and the Corporation and to economic conditions and other factors existing at the time of determination.
Click on his name and you will see that Pos is in hiding. This is why you shouldn't go talking smack when you don't know your stuff.
Hey pos idiot xtxi holders will receive a dividend of .07 per share. Why can't you understand this. Its not much but very simple. Its not Santa Clause its a friggin .07 div to be paid on Nov.12.
Soooo...we see that distributions were resumed. How did this happen? Does Liza deserve an apology?
Uhm, madam, I don't give a rat's A** about your personal gains. Congratulations, but it is yet another diversion tactic on your part. I contend that MLPs can not pay a distribution when their EBT is negative. You countered that most MLPs have a loss and pay distributions year after year. I debunked that baloney with data that showed only 6 MLPs out of 51 had a loss in the March 10 quarter. You countered that you have personal gains in some of the MLPs that reported a loss. Congratulations on that, but it doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand.And don't get me wrong, I am not going on the hook to say that XTEX won't pay a distribution in the 2nd Q. I am just saying that they could delay it if things don't go as planned. Crosstex management could have said "We WILL resume our distribution at the end of the 2nd Q." Instead they used the weasle word "anticipated" to give them a way out if things don't go as planned ("anticipated"). It isn't as if that never happens. Companies that have paid dividends for years and years - something happens that wasn't planned and they suspend their dividend.
p.s. you missed CEP. After Q4, CEP will be the only non-shipping MLP not paying a distribution. I don't have confidence in CEP being able to resume distributions soon (reasons posted many times on the CEP board). Feel free to go over there are comment. You'd make a lot more sense making your comments about CEP than about Crosstex.
"reporting a loss that did not pay a distribution...in the last category are APL, KSP, OXF, and XTEX. The 2 that reported a loss and did pay a distribution are EROC and RGNC."Don't you have anything better to do?APL have announced resumption of distributions starting in Q4. They are in a strong position now. Have you seen their unit price lately? I am up over 100% in a few months on my most recent APL purchases, up >400% on earlier purchases and will be getting >20% distribution in a few quarters.KSP is a shipping MLP, I believe. I don't own or follow those.OXF is a brand new coal MLP just IPOd weeks ago. It is too early for them to pay a distribution. First target distribution is Q3. I have done some research on OXF and found them lacking. There is some doubt they will be able to pay their target distributions, however not for the reasons you state. See my posts on that board.Not investing in that one.XTEX are doing fine and will be paying a distribution next quarter. I am up >100% on my XTEX holdings and will be getting >20% yield when they resume.EROC are also resuming meaningful distributions in Q4. They have recapitalized and look OK from now on (however could have had more potential if they did not do the recent recapitalization transaction). I am up >100% on my EROC holdings and will be receiving a yield >20%.RGNC is doing fine and is mostly fee based contracts. That is a prime example where you are just plain WRONG. They have good distribution coverage and have never been in any danger of cutting. I own RGNC and have significant gains and getting ~15% yield.I own 4 of the 6 you mentioned...am up >100% on average on all of those 4 and getting average yields on my holdings (after Q3/4) of 15-20%.I own ~45 MLPs and royalty trusts and receiving ~$100k per year in distributions. For example, VNR I am up >500% and getting 45% yield based on my purchase price. Why don't you bash them?Sorry, I am not impressed with your ignorant rants. You are looking like a fool really. MLPs are probably the best investment vehicle around.
Again. They would never say such a thing unless they were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.No way they would set expectations and then not follow through. That would be disastrous and management know that.I have been following MLPs for years and can tell you that for sure.Go back to your Intel and Apple.You clearly have no idea about energy investments and MLPs in particular.What are you doing here anyway? Just shown up to dispute the conference call? Don't you have anything better to do? Go get a girlfriend or something.
Sorry I miscounted. CLMT also reported a loss last quarter and has a dividend yield. I can only speculate this is because they were profitable in the Sep 09 and Dec 09 quarters and the Mar 10 quarter was their first loss. The dividend yield is based on the TTM. Corrected summaryNumber of MLPs: 51Number profitable in Mar 10 Q: 44Number reporting a loss in Mar 10 Q: 7Number reporting a loss that also paid a distribution: 3Number reporting a loss that did not pay a distribution: 4
OH no, my little girl you are making a fool of yourself. Quoting Crosstex management"we are updating our distribution guidance to advise that we anticipate restoring our distributions and dividends at the end of the third quarter"Anticipate means that they "expect". It is not certain. If they make money next quarter, they can pay a distribution. If they lose money next quarter, they will not pay a distribution. Simple as that.
Ms self proclaimed know it all said "Virtually all the MLPs show negative eps like this yet they continue to pay (and often increase) distributions year after year after year. The critical metric for MLPs is dcf not eps"Here is a list of all MLPs that I could find that have an income statement. The columns probably won't line up properly when I submit this message so here's a summary.Number of MLPs: 51Number profitable in Mar 10 Q: 45Number reporting a loss in Mar 10 Q: 6Number reporting a loss that also paid a distribution: 2Number reporting a loss that did not pay a distribution: 4The 4 in the last category are APL, KSP, OXF, and XTEXThe 2 that reported a loss and did pay a distribution are EROC and RGNC. EROC reported a small loss of 0.06 and RGNC reported a small loss of 0.03. EROC's income statement shows a net profit of $3.9 million and RGNC shows a net profit from continuing operations of $7.3 million. Without going deeper into their financial statements, I will not speculate why the EPS is negative but clearly your assertion that most MLPs show a loss is a bunch of friggen bullcrapppy.Further, this discussion relates to whether XTEX can pay a distribution when they are losing money. The discussion is NOT about how to value MLPs. You are attempting to divert attention from my point. As I've said, I don't put up with crap from you or anyone else on the internet. You can kiss my grits, girl.Ticker Last Mkt Cap Div Yield EPS Mar 10 APL $17.70 $941.7M - -0.12 APU $44.78 $2.5B 6.10% 1.8 ARLP $51.84 $1.9B 6.20% 0.98 BBEP $16.60 $884.6M 9.40% 0.29 BPL $65.45 $3.3B 5.80% 0.92 BWP $31.30 $6.0B 6.60% 0.39 CLMT $17.81 $574.0M 10.30% -0.36 DEP $28.10 $1.6B 6.40% 0.38 DPM $34.70 $1.2B 7.00% 0.59 EEP $57.04 $5.5B 7.20% 0.64 ENP $19.28 $872.7M 10.10% 0.29 EPB $32.64 $4.0B 5.00% 0.53 EPD $38.28 $23.7B 6.00% 0.5 EPE $51.18 $7.1B 4.30% 0.55 EROC $6.10 $341.4M 1.70% -0.06 ETP $51.05 $9.6B 7.00% 0.74 EVEP $36.73 $748.3M 8.30% 0.44 EXLP $25.71 $613.5M 7.00% 0.05 FGP $24.80 $1.7B 8.10% 0.46 GEL $21.27 $841.9M 7.20% 0.06 GLP $23.98 $313.4M 8.20% 1.06 HEP $47.46 $1.0B 7.00% 0.36 KGS $22.88 $281.7M 7.40% 0.2 KMP $68.80 $14.2B 6.30% 0.43 KSP $6.07 $116.1M - -0.59 LGCY $24.37 $850.1M 8.40% 0.28 LINE $30.25 $3.9B 8.20% 0.36 MMLP $32.24 $468.7M 9.30% 0.11 MMP $49.80 $5.3B 5.90% 0.6 MWE $35.34 $2.3B 7.20% 0.32 NGLS $26.52 $1.6B 7.80% 0.14 NMM $17.76 $656.0M 9.40% 0.39 NRGY $43.37 $2.8B 6.50% 1.09 NRP $25.56 $1.7B 8.40% 0.24 NS $59.77 $3.2B 7.10% 0.19 OKS $69.99 $7.1B 6.40% 0.57 OXF $17.24 $177.2M - -0.95 PAA $63.48 $8.6B 5.90% 0.77 PVR $23.97 $1.2B 7.80% 0.16 RGNC $26.00 $2.4B 6.80% -0.03 SEP $34.40 $2.7B 4.90% 0.46 SPH $48.67 $1.7B 6.90% 2.76 SXL $76.95 $2.3B 5.90% 1.06 TCLP $43.84 $2.0B 6.70% 0.71 TGP $35.02 $1.5B 6.90% 0.34 TLP $32.23 $347.5M 7.50% 0.53 TNH 94.88 1.7B 10.20% 1.82 TOO $23.34 $705.4M 8.10% 0.53 WMZ $34.82 $1.1B 3.80% 0.35 WPZ $46.50 $2.4B 5.70% 0.61 XTEX $13.22 $656.9M - -0.81

By Javier Pes and Julia Michalska. Web onlyPublished online: 28 March 2014
The Hungarian government has bought seven pieces of silver from the controversial Sevso hoard of Roman artefacts dating from the fourth to the fifth century. Hungary has long claimed the treasure was found in its territory and illegally exported—as has Lebanon and Croatia.
Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian Prime Minister, unveiled the treasure on Wednesday (26 March) at a press conference in parliament in Budapest. He declared: "[It] has always belonged to Hungary. This is Hungary's family silver." Hungarian media reports that the government paid €15m to unnamed sellers for the pieces. The treasure will go on show in parliament for the next three months and are destined for the national collection. This is the latest twist in the complex and at times murky Sevso story. In 1990 Sotheby's announced that it would be auctioning a magnificent hoard of Roman silver in New York, "believed to have been discovered in Lebanon in the 1970s". The treasure was named after the original owner of one of the plates, which is inscribed "Let these, O Sevso, yours for many ages be, small vessels fit to serve your offspring worthily." Hungary maintains that the treasure was found near Lake Balaton in western Hungary in the 1970s. A young soldier is alleged to have been involved in its secret discovery. He was found dead in 1980. His father and others believed he was murdered. Suicide was the official verdict at the time. There were 14 pieces on offer in New York, which had been acquired by the Marquess of Northampton in good faith. (The late Sotheby's director Peter Wilson also had a financial interest in the hoard among others.) The sale was stopped when Lebanon, Croatia and later Hungary contested its ownership. In 1993, a US court ruled that no state can make a claim on the treasure. Due to the contested provenance the pieces have since been difficult to sell. The artefacts unveiled in Budapest include a pitcher, platter and bowl. A representative for the Marquess of Northampton says it would be "factually incorrect" to describe his client as the vendor of the Sevso pieces to Hungary. When asked if these had been sold by a trust, foundation or organisation set up to administer the silver on his client's behalf, he says that there are other stakeholders in the hoard besides the British aristocrat, who retains the "best pieces". In 2007 we revealed that the hoard could be much larger than 14 pieces and the complete set could include 187 silvergilt spoons, 37 silvergilt drinking cups, and five silver bowls that were available for sale along with known pieces of Sevso silver in the 1980s. This would be consistent with other hoards found across the Roman world. In 1993 Anna Somers Cocks, the founding editor of The Art Newspaper wrote: "The sad fact is that the origins of those wonderful objects are probably lost for ever; they may never speak to us of the people who owned them so many centuries ago. That page of the world's history has been torn up and we are all the losers, not just the nation (whichever that might be) within whose frontiers the treasure was secretly discovered."

»Oliver Plunkett Street
Oliver Plunkett Street runs fairly parallel with St Patrick's Street, but has smaller stores. This is perfect if you are looking for that unique gift you could only buy in Cork. Stop by Betty Barclay for an outfit and Buckley Brothers for a snack.
»Trinity Bridge
The last bridge constructed before the 1980s, Trinity Bridge is a footbridge that connects Morrison's Island to Union Quay. It is named after the nearby Holy Trinity Church. Constructed in 1977, Trinity Bridge was officially opened by the Lord Mayor Gerald Goldberg on the 14th of October. It's a 12-foot walkway, spanning a hundred feet. The bridge and the funding was provided from pay-parking in the city.
»Father Mathew Statue
This bronze statue is one of the most prominent features of Patrick Street and one of the city's best-known landmarks. It was erected to the memory of Father Theobald Matthew, the so-called "Apostle of Temperance". Cast by John Henry Foley, it was unveiled in 1864 by John Maguire, founder of the Cork Examiner, and overlooks St Patrick's Bridge and the River Lee. Father Mathew [1790-1856] was well known in Cork for his work among the poor and later for his involvement in the temperance movement. Although remarkably successful in reducing the proliferation of alcohol consumption, his primary focus remained in improving the wretched living conditions of the town's pre-famine poor. His health fading, he spent his last days in the nearby port of Queenstown, now renamed Cobh.
»St Patrick's Street
St Patrick's Street or "Pana," as they call it, is the main shopping street in Cork. This street has great restaurants, such as Ruen Thai Restaurant, and fantastic shops, such as Barratt's. After spending the day shopping, you'll realize why some people call St Patrick's Ireland's best shopping street. Its also is one of the main venues in the city for its street festivals and carnivals.
»Holy Trinity Church
This splendid Georgian-Gothic structure was designed by George Pain. It was completed in 1832. In 1880, the three-part Gothic front and spire were added, although these additions are not what Pain had intended. Be sure to check out the interesting stone carvings of the exterior. The local skyline is dominated by this imposing structure; it's especially impressive in the evening when floodlit. The inside is less appealing aesthetically, although there is an interesting stained glass window in memory of the Liberator, Daniel O'Connell.
»City Hall
Overlooking the river Lee, Cork City Hall was opened in 1936, replacing the previous structure which was burned down in 1920. The six limestone Tuscan pillars and copper-domed clock tower are a particularly impressive sight after dark. The limestone used comes from nearby Little Island. City Hall houses Cork city's administration; the county administration offices are elsewhere. It is also used for concerts and, during office hours, the public can enter to see the fine Connemara marble staircase.
»St Peter and Paul's Church
This church is a magnificent essay in Neo-Gothic by A.W. Pugin. It was completed in 1868, replacing an earlier church built on the same site in 1786. Pugin had intended to have a spire erected but this was never built due to a lack of funds and a fear that the extra weight might cause the building to subside. Inside this beautiful church, one is confronted with dark wood, tall red marble pillars and some fine stained glass windows. The pulpit is made of Russian oak with figures carved in high relief.
»Cork City Library - Central Library

»Nano Nagle Bridge
In 1985, Cork celebrated the 800th anniversary of the granting of a charter to the city by John, Lord of Ireland and subsequent King of England. Celebrations were held throughout the historic year, including the construction of a sleek new footbridge spanning the River Lee between Grand Parade and Sullivan's Quay. Nano Nagle Bridge is a single arch structure completed by Site Services. The bridge is named so because Nano Nagle, born during Penal times, was founder of the Presentation Order of nuns and of the South Presentation Convent at 50 Cove Street in 1777. Nano Nagle died in 1784.
»Kennedy Park
Kennedy Park in Cork was named after President John F Kennedy who visited the park in 1963. It is used by locals for walking in the morning and evenings. Trees have been planted to provide shade and conserve nature. There used to be a children's area that was removed due to security threats. Plans are underway for reconstruction of the play-area.

I've had my D3000 for a couple of weeks now and was wondering what are some of the essential gear I need to take full advantage of this camera's capabilities. Right now, I just have the D3000, kit lens and the Nikkor 55-200mm. I don't even have a case for it yet. But, I made it through the "trial" time and like the camera enough to continue my new hobby in DSLR photography. So what do I need? I should also add that I'm new to SLR camera's in general.
Hi James,Welcome to Nikonians!Congratulations on your new D3000!I would recommend: a microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth, a Giottos Rocket Blower, a camera bag (Tamrac, LowePro, or Think Tank Photo to name a few brands.), an extra memory card or two.Get Understanding Exposure by Brian Peterson. It will help get you up and running in Manual exposure mode.Gear to think about: a Speedlight (SB-600) (Check out the Speedlight forum.), since you like to shoot landscapes a decent tripod and remote release (ML-L3) (Check out the Tripod forum).The most important thing is to go out and Practice! Practice! Practice! The more you shoot the better you will get.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty
You might want to describe what your photographic interest are because Nikon for decades has provided a camera system that can shoot from macro to sports, to landscapes or even space space scapes (yes there is a NASA Nikon camera as well as special U.S. Navy models) depending upon which accessories you match to your camera.
GeorgeMy Nikonian Galleries
Giving Santa my list. Oh, btw, where can I find a Nikon battery for my camera and not some other company? I checked my electronics store but none available.
Hi James,Here is a list of links to reputable Nikon Authorized Dealers:1. www.adorama.com?kbid=9126102. www.bhphotovideo.com3. www.berger-bros.com4. www.calumetphoto.com5. www.centralcamera.com6. www.robertsimaging.comGood Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Great! Thank you very much.
I went to the Nikon School when it came close.... I thougth it was very worthwile.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
I will look into that.

A head start on middle school
Fairfield program gives students a jump on their new environment
Rising sixth-graders at Fairfield Middle School got a taste of their new environment by participating in the school's first program aimed to help them smoothly transition to middle school using the IB philosophy. Fairfield teachers Garry Marshall and Gina Brooks created the Falcon Institute after Dr. Dana Bost, the school's principal, asked them to spearhead a summer program that would improve students' performance in math, reading and writing. "We saw where, in sixth grade, the deficiencies were, so I wanted to have an idea to bridge those gaps before the kids actually get here in September,'" said Brooks. "We also thought about just the fact that they are coming from fifth grade to sixth grade. What are some of the challenges they face? One is organization. One is technology. So we just incorporated all of those components into the [program]." During everyday class sessions, students used their laptops to participate in discussions via an online classroom tool called School Space. Also, in their technology class, students were taught how to use programs that most of their peers have not been introduced to yet. "These are kids coming from elementary school, so they haven't even been on a computer yet. At the end of this little institute, they can make a word document, an Excel sheet, a PowerPoint, … [and] movies," said IB coordinator and science department chair Karyn Edwards. "Some of the kids are very good with technology; [they] catch on like that. They come around and help when I can't get around to people." Because Fairfield is now an IB school, the Falcon Institute strives to incorporate the IB principles of critical thinking, problem solving, exposure to multiple viewpoints and community service into their curriculum. Edwards pointed out that by allowing students to discover their niches, they can better understand how they can serve their school and surrounding communities. Many of the rising sixth-graders said they agreed that the institute has helped them to become familiar and more comfortable with their new surroundings. Student S'Donte Dowton said that the Falcon Institute has made learning more exciting. "I like it when we do math stuff, and also I even like it when we do games and quizzes," he said. In the fall, the sixth-graders will take a regional test that Marshall says will help determine the summer program's effectiveness. "We've got a baseline of where they were before the program, and we are going to compare that to where they are after and then see if any of the programs have made an impact or not," he added. To keep the students active, the Falcon Institute had what Brooks described as a "miniature field day." During "Thrilling Thursdays," students had the chance to win an ice cream social by competing in teamwork events. "It's the middle of the summer and they're sitting in the classroom for four hours a day, so we said at least once a week we will have time for team building and free time," said Marshall. |
RAMPS receives $8k grant
Citizen Staff Reports 03/03/2015
RAMPS (Ramp Access Made Possible by Students) recently received an $8,000 grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The award was one of 75 grants totaling more than $600,137 awarded by the Reeve Foundation to nonprofit organizations nationwide that provide more opportunities, access, and daily quality of life for individuals living with paralysis, their families and caregivers.
RAMPS, an organization founded by then-Henrico County high school students to build ramps for local low-income residents who need them, will use the grant to purchase modular wheelchair ramp supplies. These supplies will be used by local high school RAMPS clubs, who provide volunteers to build the ramps. > Read more.

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.
Soak up the fun
'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

Good article.
Is it possible for verification team to iron out all the bugs before taping out within the tough project schedule?
No one could have confidence to say yes. the re-spin usually happens in most of team.
The verification team may take the silicon as the HW accelerator for re-spin. it may be too late for market.
So the early tape-out is a smart verificaiton but more $$ cost.
This should be a tradeoff between $$ and time-to-market.
I guess the re-spin may miss the market and take more $$.
any thought?

Sunshine Sports Annual Boat-n-Bike Swap is a great way to buy or sell used boating and biking equipment. With a large amount of equipment assembled in one location and a knowledgeable staff provided by the Beartooth Paddlers Society (Billings based paddling club) and Sunshine Sports, this has become an extraordinary event. The Spoke Shop also participated and added helpful bike knowledge for bicycle shoppers.
Billingss outdoor enthusiasts are always looking for ways to get the fun closer to home. A portion of this years consignment fees will be donated to the American Rivers Blue Trail Yellowstone River Project.
Date of the Swap
The 2015 Boat-n-Bike Swap will be on Saturday, May 2nd. The gates open for buyers at 10:00am. We fence the lot surrounding the swap for security and to maintain an orderly sale. If you are a buyer please take note, the public is not allowed into the fence to browse for gear until the sale starts at 10:00am.
How the Boat n Bike Swap Works
Sunshine Sports acts as a middle man to bring sellers and buyers together. Sellers check in their gear to Sunshine Sports during the two days preceding the swap and pay their equipment handling fees. The night before the swap our crew fences our front parking lot and bright and early the morning of the swap we start moving all the collected gear to the front parking lot. We have carpeted areas for more delicate boats, composite canoes and touring boats and racks to hang bikes. Sunshine Sports in conjunction with the Beartooth Paddlers supply the personnel to staff the event so sellers need not be present. Although past sellers, who opted to stay and personally sell their gear, have proven that it improves your success to be on site to sell their products. At the end of the day all unsold products must be picked up.
Gear Drop Off
Equipment can be dropped off anytime Thursday April 30th or Friday May 1st from 9:00am to 6:00pm at Sunshine Sports. Sunshine Sports is located at 304 Moore Lane. Please call the store at (406)252-3724 if you have any questions. Gear may also be dropped off from 8:00am to 11:00am Saturday May 2nd, the day of the Swap. Because the early bird always gets the worm, or the best buy on that boat or bike, a large percentage of the sales go through the sales counter before 1:00pm. Having your gear on display by the time the swap starts at 10:00am is important. The gear check in line can be quite long the morning of the swap, so we highly recommend checking in your gear on Thursday or Friday.
Getting Paid For Sold Gear
Sunshine Sports acts only as a middle man in the Swap. All money is paid directly to the sellers and must be picked up between 4pm and 5pm the day of the swap. The seller has the right to accept the following forms of payment (Cash, Checks & Credit Cards) Checks are made out directly to the seller. All buyers are required to present an ID for checks and credit cards. Credit cards, which can be a safer form of payment than checks, have to be processed by Sunshine Sports. A 6% processing fee is charged and we mail out a check within 7 days to the seller.
Gear Pick Up
All unsold gear and money must be picked up on the day of the Swap between 4:00pm and 5:00pm. Any unsold gear not picked the day of the Boat Swap will be subject to a $10 per day storage fee. Gear that is not picked up within 5 days will be donated to a local charity. At the time you check your gear in, you have the option to donate any unsold gear.
Gear Handling Fees
Sunshine Sports does not charge commission or fees on equipment that does sell as most other swaps. We charge only a small per item handling fee which is paid when gear is checked in. These gear-handling fees help to offset a portion of the expenses which Sunshine Sports incurs hosting the event. To follow is a schedule of the handling fees:
Boat n Bike Swap Disclaimer
Sunshine Sports takes many precautions to make the swap a secure environment for buyers and sellers. We have had only a few minor incidents in 20+ years of hosting the swap. To check gear into the swap the seller is required to sign a contract stating that you will not hold Sunshine Sports and any other affiliated organizations responsible for any loss, damages, and theft of gear.

I (Andrea) am a Physician Assistant and Lee is an Accountant. We've lived in Austin for 4 years now and absolutely love everything this city has to offer. We travel frequently and have had some of our best experiences when meeting locals and seeing a city from an insider's perspective which is why we love Airbnb and sharing our tips and tricks to seeing the best parts of Austin. We strive to ensure cleanliness and comfort because that is important to us when traveling so many amenities are provided such as robes and slippers and the room is professionally cleaned after each stay. If you have any special requests just let us know! Oh, and we also have 2 adorable dogs, a boxer and a french bulldog who love meeting new people but beware, our french bulldog can be quite the cuddle monster:)
Andrea & Lee has completed online and offline ID verification.
Best Air BnB experience ever! Andrea and Lee were fantastic hosts, they were welcoming, kind and extremely helpful. If you have never been to Austin before (we hadn't) they give valuable advice about where to go and what to do in order to make sure you have the best time. The room was fresh and inviting, they even made sure to give the hotel touch with plush robes and a welcome note. Their place is super easy to find and is conveniently located to get to the best places in Austin. We couldn't have imagined a better experience, we didn't want to leave!
Very lovely house. The bedroom was well prepared and very clean. Andrea and Lee were really accommodating and helpful. They even gave us a list of restaurants, bars and things to do in Austin. Thank you Andrea and Lee!
Andrea and Lee are awesome! They were super accommodating and their place is perfect for a long weekend in Austin. My sister and I stayed at their place and they were kind enough to offer recommendations. They even offered to pick us up late at night on Halloween. When we arrived, Andrea was putting together a new compost device...so green! They are a cute and welcoming couple...great experience!
Andrea and Lee were wonderful hosts!!! They made our first air bnb experience smooth, easy, and very enjoyable! If future bookings are anything like this one my hubby and I are sold!
Andrea & Lee were very friendly & accommodating. The bedroom was cute & cozy. The bathroom was very clean & had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would recommend booking their airbnb!
Andrea and Lee were the best hosts we could have hoped for on our trip to Austin! It was like staying in a hotel complete with cute dogs :) They provided a nice bedroom, bathroom, and helped us to navigate our first ACL. They gave us tips to handle the bus and shuttle from their conveniently located house and were so helpful all weekend. They made our first Air B n B experience a wonderful one!
There is no word that describes our experience more perfectly than: accommodation. Before ever stepping foot inside their beautiful home, Andrea and Lee worked with us through date changes and reservation difficulties. They were helpful, communicative and understanding. We knew we would be welcomed in their home and we certainly were! Layla and Cooper were extraordinarily friendly and we considered them as an incentive during our stay. All of the information Andrea and Lee shared with us about the local areas gave us a great starting point to experiencing the dynamic aspects of Austin! As long as you are comfortable with some brief interaction throughout the day, you will truly enjoy staying with this wonderful family :)
Andrea and Lee were great hosts and very welcoming. They are close to downtown, so we decided to bike Austin on our first day. There house was easy to find with lots of available parking. We had everything we needed as far as a private bathroom, towels, a nice queen bed, and excellent coffee!
Andrea and Lee are great hosts! Their home is adorable, and they provide great accomodations. Central location to explore all of Austin.
I've only used airbnb twice, but I've travelled a lot and have stayed in my fair share of hotels, motels, hostels, tents, you name it. All I can say is that staying with Andrea and Lee was one of the best living environments I have stayed in during my travels. Everything is super clean and cute and the room is set up like your at a hotel with little chocolates and info about their house and a bunch of Austin hotspots. Andrea and Lee are incredibly nice, inviting and welcoming people who were always available to answer any questions I had. The house is right across the street from a bus stop that takes you right into downtown, so the location is ideal as well. Plus the bed is super comfy! I couldn't recommend Andrea and Lee's place more. Another plus, is that they have the two cutest dogs in the whole wide world. So if you're a dog lover, it's great and if you're not a dog lover, you'll become one.
Andrea and Lee were with us for just one night on their way to the airport. They are lovely people, very easy and reliable to communicate with. We would welcome them back for a longer stay anytime in the future.
Andrea and Lee were very easy to communicate with and left the apartment in great shape. Recommended!
Although we did not met in person (I was on holiday) communication went well. There where no problems and they left my apartment fairly clean. No reason not to have them over!
Andrea and Lee were awesome guests. Very easy going, uncomplicated and super nice!!! Anytime welcome again :)
Andrea and Lee were an absolute pleasure to host - they are an amazing couple and were incredibly fun to spend time with. Andrea was really organised and communicative in the build up to the stay, and they were both super tidy and courteous in the flat. Andrea and Lee have an amazing sense of humour, they are a fantastic pair and are sweet, reliable, trustworthy and fun to have around. We couldn't recommend them more as guests and would welcome them back with open arms any time.
Andrea and Lee are two of the most kind, fun and genuinely awesome people I know. Their home is LOVELY and always a joy to visit. Andrea consistently goes out of her way to be an amazing host. She is a true Martha Stewart/ Pinterest wizard, ensuring all the little details are perfect to make you feel pampered and loved. I can't imagine a better place to stay.

From the Publisher
"This book is a reprint of the original published by McGraw-Hill \ref [MR0538168 (80d:00030)]. The only changes are the addition of the Roman numeral I to the title and the provision of a subtitle, "Asymptotic methods and perturbation theory". This latter improvement is much needed, as the original title suggested that this was a teaching book for undergraduate scientists and engineers. It is not, but is an excellent introduction to asymptotic and perturbation methods for master's degree students or beginning research students. Certain parts of it could be used for a course in asymptotics for final year undergraduates in applied mathematics or mathematical physics.This is a book that has stood the test of time and I cannot but endorse the remarks of the original reviewer. It is written in a fresh and lively style and the many graphs and tables, comparing the results of exact and approximate methods, were in advance of its time. I have owned a copy of the original for over twenty years, using it on a regular basis, and, after the original had gone out of print, lending it to my research students. Springer-Verlag has done a great service to users of, and researchers in, asymptotics and perturbation theory by reprinting this classic." (A.D. Wood, Mathematical Reviews)

Here's where I'm at after the first week of learning to juggle.
The first day I watched a 2 minute how-to video, and worked on learning the basics for an hour. The next 6 days I picked up the beanbags every time I had a spare few minutes, which added up to about 15-20 minutes per day.
As you can see, I still have a good deal to learn, but after 10 years of having put off learning, I feel pretty good about how much one can learn with a little bit of effort and a short amount of time.
Most parties are about getting together with friends, eating and drinking until you're waddling around the room, and creating new memories. But what if you're trying to bring about change? What if you want to move forward and let go of all those things anchoring you to the past?
You throw a Shred Party.
Here's the scoop: a Shred Party involves 1 or more friends and yourself and the biggest paper shredder you can afford/borrow/steal (but seriously, don't try to steal a shredder because they're crazy heavy). You and your friends then collect all of the photos, old journals, old mix CDs, old legal documents, etc, along with a healthy amount of food and drinks (and background music) and go nuts.
It may seem like a strange idea at first, especially if you're the sentimental type, but if you think about it, you'll see why it makes a lot of sense.
The most difficult hurdle to overcome when you're trying to make a positive change in your life are all the artifacts of your current self. Each of these objects have or have had some meaning (even if it's not precious, there was obviously SOME reason you felt you had to keep it around) at some point, but if you are moving on you'll need the room in your emotional storage space for NEW meaningful items. New photos and mix CDs and letters from friends and family.
Take a second to choke down the 'Colin's heartless' comment you were about the mumble. I'm about to explain why this is worth the trade off.
On one side of the equation, you have these objects that may or may not have real intrinsic value, but mostly have what I call 'traditional value.' This means that they are not valuable unto themselves, but you keep them around because from time to time you may look at them, or even just feel comforted knowing that you've got them stored away somewhere; in a shoebox in the closet or in a Rubbermaid container in the garage.
What you're trading for in this case is the ability to move on, to let go of any physical manifestations of the past so that you can take what you've learned and apply it. Make no mistake, this is a very difficult thing to do when you're surrounded by people, places and things that you've been around for a long time (which is why those people who stuck around their hometown after high school are more or less the same as when you last saw them).
Remember, too, that we live in the future. Any photos you want to keep around can be scanned and put on your computer (or on the Internet, where they won't even clutter your computer's hard drive). All those memories? You've still got 'em. They're in that computer in your skull!
A few weeks ago, my ex and I had a Shred Party and both had a fantastic time. Among other things, I unloaded old photos, client files, sketchbooks and mix CDs (to push me forward in finding new music, creating new illustrations, taking new photos and taking on new clients), while she got rid of her old head shots, business documents, Post-It notes and journal entries. We both felt amazing and very light afterward, and would recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially if you're trying to catalyze change in your life.
At the top of this post is a video put together from footage of our Shred Party. Take a look if you have the chance, and if you throw your own Shred Party, record the process and post your video in the comments!
What do you think? Are you open to having a Shred Party? Think it's pointless/heartless/just not cool? Let us know in the comments below!

What�s being done to move the Rockford area forward and what sometimes holds us back? That�s what interests reporter Isaac Guerrero. The Rockford native writes about higher education and public/private partnerships � how public and quasi-public agencies leverage your tax dollars to boost tourism, economic development and education. Isaac is a Rockford native and a graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University. He has held a variety of writing and editing roles at the Register Star since 1998.

Isaac Guerrero covers the efforts of quasi-public organizations to revitalize downtown Rockford, expand regional tourism, reshape the region's cultural venues and attract new industries.
They're saying immigration reform could actually happen.
It's not here yet, but the politicians in Washington are already congratulating themselves for this economic no-brainer — a deal they should have closed years ago.
Sometimes you wake up and you realize that something very obvious in your life is not right. So you fix it.
The GOP woke up after Obama won re-election in November. The state GOP huddled Saturday in Tinley Park for a little self-examination of its own.
I'm wondering when Rockford will look in the mirror.
I'm wondering why an organization that calls itself La Voz Latina is
Look, I understand that La Voz Latina is an advocate for education, not political power. What I don't understand is why it couldn't be both, especially with a name like La Voz Latina. No matter. Sooner or later, somebody is going to wake up and fill the void.
There were four Latino candidates in prominent general election races last week and all four of them lost.
Incumbent Laura Powers beat Jaime Escobedo. She earned 53 percent of the vote to keep her Rockford School Board seat in District G.
Newcomer Michael Connor earned 53 percent of the vote to win a Rockford School Board seat in District F. He edged out Jeff Holt, who earned 40 percent of the vote, and Juan Reyes, who earned 7 percent of the vote.
Rockford alderman Karen Elyea nabbed 54 percent of the vote in the Eleventh Ward, enough to hold off challenger Jaime Salgado and keep her City Council seat. Interestingly, Elyea defeated another Latino in the primary election earlier this year. She earned 51 percent of the vote then; Tuffy Quinonez nabbed 43 percent and Dyanna Chandler earned 6 percent.
Ray Montelongo came in fifth place among a field of 10 candidates running for three seats on the Rock Valley College Board of Trustees.
The ranks of white people are thinning in Rockford and in Winnebago County. Rockford's white population dropped 9 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The drop was nearly half a percentage point in the county.
The number of Latinos/Hispanics in Rockford grew nearly 58 percent (from 15,278 to 24,085) during the same time. The Latino surge was more stark in Winnebago County, growing nearly 68 percent from 19,206 to 32,177.
The city and county are more black, too. The black population grew 20 percent in the city and 23 percent in the county between 2000 and 2010.
So the Rockford area is becoming more diverse. And Latinos are driving the change, which is good because we sure could use some change.
Things are tough all over in Rockford. Lots of poverty. Lots of crime. Lots of undereducated people.
Thank God we've got lots of diversity.
Six taco shops opened while you were dreaming of Trader Joe's and Portillo's. Republicans -- they're the ones who are always extolling the virtues of small business, right? Well, the Democrats have been asleep, too. We all have.
Hispanic buying power (disposable income) in this country was $1 trillion in 2010 and is expected to grow 50 percent by 2015, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia.
Those four Latinos didn't win last week. But immigration reform is coming. You add a little organization, a little time. A collective will. Sky's the limit.
Rockford does not have a problem. Rockford Latinos do not have a problem.
No hay problema aquí.
Tenemos una ventaja gigante.

Bond Returns Lose Their Double-Digit Returns (and Appeal)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Which is it: Past is prologue, or past performance is no guarantee of future results?
It's a key question for fixed-income investors who must try to somehow forecast bond returns now that the basic rules of the game have changed, with yields more likely to rise than to fall.
Unfortunately, the answer is not very pleasing. Today, many experts say the prudent course is to assume your total return will equal the bond's coupon payment. For a 10-year U.S. Treasury note, that comes to a meager 2.7% a year, a far cry from the double-digit annual returns of some recent years, such as the 16% of 2011 or the 20% of 2008.
Past returns weren't always that great. But the 10-year averaged about 7% from 1964 through last year, according to an analysis by the Stern School of Business. Last year was pretty bad, with the 10-year losing just over 9% while the Standard & Poor's 500, the prime stock market index, returned about 32%.
Bond returns come in two parts. First is the interest earnings, or coupon payment. Then there's the price change of the bond itself. For several decades up to and during the financial crisis, interest rates were drifting downward. That meant investors were willing to pay a premium for older bonds that were more generous. Bond prices rose, often contributing more to the return than the interest earnings. Now most experts expect things to change, with interest rates gradually rising. That can make the older, stingier bonds less desirable than newer bonds, causing their prices to fall. But since investors understand that this will happen, that risk is already reflected in bond prices. If so, the bond price will neither go up nor down. With price changes taken off the table, the investor will earn only the interest payment. John C. Bogle, founder and former chairman of Vanguard Group, recently told The Wall Street Journal that, despite short-term ups and downs, coupon rates have historically been a pretty good indicator of returns to come. Since 1926, he told the Journal, the 10-year Treasury's yield at the start of the average 10-year period has accounted for 92% of the average annual return earned in the decade that followed. "It is today's coupon, rather than the past return, that determines the future," he told the Journal. Of course, it might not turn out as expected. If interest rates were to rise faster than the markets expected, bond prices might indeed continue to fall, wiping out all the interest earnings and producing a net loss. In theory, the opposite could occur as well, with falling interest rates driving up bond prices just as they did so often in the past. But since interest rates are very low by historical standards, the chances of that seem slim. If bond returns will languish in the low single digits for the next decade, is there any reason to own bonds? Well, even 2.7% is a lot more than you'll earn in bank savings. A five-year certificate of deposit pays just 0.755%, according to the BankingMyWay.com survey. Note, though, that the CD is insured against loss, while the Treasure note is not. Bonds, even when they aren't very profitable, also help diversify a portfolio, offsetting some of the risks of stocks. But many experts do suggest that investors revisit their asset-allocation plans and think about trimming their bond holdings.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Champions League soccer: Bayern Munich beats Arsenal
German side, which lost last year's Champions final to Chelsea, dominant in opening leg against Premier League club.

Share via Email
LONDON—Bayern Munich seized on the uncertainty sweeping through Arsenal to claim a 3-1 victory in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 match on Tuesday, virtually booking the German side a place in the quarter-finals.
Goals by Toni Kroos and Thomas Mueller in the opening 21 minutes did the early damage for Bayern, a beaten finalist in two of the last three years, before Mario Mandzukic sealed the victory with a bundled third in the 77th.
Former Bayern forward Lukas Podolski had given Arsenal hope by making it 2-1 in the 55th but Bayern dominated and should have scored more in an embarrassingly one-sided first half where the visitors cut through their defensively inept opponents at will.
The second leg will be in Germany on March 13.
Bayern has responded after losing last season's final at Chelsea on penalties at its own Allianz Arena, surging to a 15-point lead in the Bundesliga and qualifying easily from its Champions League group.
Coach Jupp Heynckes has even labelled the team the best in Bayern's history, and it showed why against an Arsenal side in the midst of the most trying season of Arsene Wenger's 17-year reign. Winning the Champions League is the English club's last chance at ending an eight-season trophy drought.
Defensively, Arsenal was a mess, with centre backs Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny looking like accidents waiting to happen. The first goal sprung from lax passing in front of their own penalty box, with Bayern collecting a rushed, errant clearance from Koscielny before Mueller crossed for Kroos to crash home a volley that skidded off the turf and into the net from 18 metres.
Mueller then benefited from more hesitant defending for the second, the lanky forward on hand to poke the ball high into an unguarded net after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny parried out a header from an unmarked Daniel Van Buyten.

where to buy oysters in shell on the peninsla

I'd like to bring some oysters to Thanksgiving dinner but don't want to drive to the Ferry building to get them. Anyone know where on the Peninsula I can get some good quality oysters?
re: Melanie Wong
From this thread I went to Draeger's and got some Blue points. They were very very mild to the point of flavorless. My friend bought some other oysters from Ranch 99 and those were super briny. I called All Shores seafood in San Bruno but decided to pass when I was told their oysters come from Virginia. Maybe I should have gone with them as they had the best price and probably moves the most product.
re: Spinal Tap
Thanks for the oyster status. Wasn't familiar with All Shores, googled, and found that it is the wholesale biz related to retailer, Peninsula Seafood, in San Bruno.

re: Glencora
I went to the nearby Fish Market one time thinking since it was a seafood chain that had a seafood counter, they would have good seafood. i went to get some shrimp and they took out a frozen bag of shrimp from the back, that was farmed in Vietnam. Never going there again.

Sam Fecteau beat out an infield hit and scored Sanford's first run in the 3-2 loss to Bonny Eagle last week. (courtesy photo by Terri Johnston)
SANFORD — Lack of hitting hurt the Sanford High School softball team in its 3-2 loss to Bonny Eagle there on Wednesday May 7.The Spartans took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second, but that would be all the scoring they would get in the contest. The Scots scored one in the bottom of the inning, then added a single run in the sixth to tie the game 2-2, setting the stage for starting pitcher Allie Pike's walk-off drive in the bottom of the seventh to give her team a hard-fought 3-2 win. The win improved the Scots record to 4-1 at the time, while dropping Sanford to 3-4.Sanford's two runs in the second came without benefit of a hit. In fact, the Spartans managed only two hits in the game off the Bonny Eagle ace. The first hit was a single by leadoff batter Nicole Main to start the game. But Pike got out of that inning without any damage.Co-captain Sam Fecteau led off the second with a hard grounder back to the mound that was misplayed by Pike. She then threw wildly to first and the fleet Fecteau easily made it to second. Morgan Coleman stepped up and worked the count to 2-2. Pike then threw a wild pitch on the third strike attempt and Coleman swung, then raced to first as Fecteau was advancing to third. A sacrifice by Courtney Camire brought in Fecteau for a 1-0 Sanford lead. Main then reached base on an error that allowed Coleman to score, making it a 2-0 game.

Nigella Lawson is a celebrity UK foodie and cook but she's also known for her curvy figure.
But she ignores the constant reference to her shapely figure. Why? She is not always happy with the ways she looks although she admits to not wanting to be skinny.
Nigella looks fabulous to me! Her regular wardrobe consists of all black all the time. But at least she wears body-hugging outfits to show off those curves.
The mom of two, to Cosima and Bruno, is also a bestselling author.
Here are some pics of "the thinking man's crumpet" over recent years.

*UPDATE: "Cadny" is not spelled wrong. Its a joke that i guess no one gets, silver shamrock.*
StarFruitClock is eager to go trick or treating but no one will give him candy. So he's out for revenge as you will control him and use your trusty baseball bat to steal candy from the children of the neighborhood. Be careful because the cops patrol the area and they will surely put a stop to your venture if they see you in action.
