Lippert Introduces Power Step For Motorhomes
November 22, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Lippert Introduces Power Step For Motorhomes
Elkhart, Ind.-based Lippert Components Inc. has introduced its new aluminum Tread Lite Power Step for motorhomes. According to a press release, the lightweight Tread Lite Power Step's all new solid-drive mechanism allows it to extend and retract quicker, while providing more stability.
"For years the RV industry has been asking for a better, firmer power step, and our design team has again exceeded expectations," said LCI Vice President of RV Sales Andy Murray. "The new Tread Lite Power Step has an upgraded drive system, coupled with a sleek European look. It is also designed to stand up against the elements with durable aluminum step treads."
LCI's research and development team collected customer feedback and conducted extensive research and testing to develop this premium Power Step, the company said.
LCI Motorized Sales Manager Marty McManus described the Power Step as quicker, stronger and much more stable. "We started from scratch on the design of this step and made substantial improvements," he said. "The step features attractive aluminum extruded step treads which deploy and retract noticeably faster."
The Tread Lite Power Step also features obstruction-sensing technology for added safety. A smart sensor monitors for obstructions during step extension and stops deployment if any are found.
McManus said the Tread Lite Power Step will be made to standard dimensions to fit current designs, but its extruded construction allows for custom sizes as well. He added, "For those who really want to set themselves apart, the linkage brackets can be color powder coated as well."
The Tread Lite Power Step for motorhomes will also be available to LCI's aftermarket customers.

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- Maine led the way in non-hydroelectric renewable energy in the United States and, as a whole, wind power is making the greatest gains, the EIA said.
Maine increased the portion of non-hydroelectric energy production in its energy mix from 20 percent in 2001 to 27 percent last year, the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration reports. South Dakota and Iowa were close behind, with substantial increases since 2001.
The EIA attributed the increase to renewable portfolio standards, benchmarks for the share of renewable energy in state's overall energy mix. It added that federal tax credits and grants helped boost the renewable energy sector across the board.
The EIA said of all the renewable energy options, wind was making the most substantial gains.
"Wind was the fastest growing source of non-hydroelectric renewable generation, as many operators of wind turbines have benefited from these (federal) programs," the agency said.
U.S. President Barack Obama has called for an "all-of-the-above" domestic energy strategy. The White House had said it aims to generate 80 percent of domestic energy needs from renewable resources by 2035.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead should we make a reservation?
The sooner, the better. From our experience, our high-seasons are Spring and Summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years week, or any local special event days. it's not uncommon for Quality Providers to run out of cribs and other popular gear. We recommend booking as early as possible to be sure your family travel during the peak seasons and holidays is as smooth and magical as possible.
Can we pay you when the reservation starts?
No, we require full payment at time of booking because we are holding your items for you. We are not making the items you have chosen available to other potential customers - kind of like a vacation rental reservation.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We can accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, and Diners Club. We can also accept gift and prepaid cards that are one of the above types. We can charge cards of these types from customers anywhere in the world.
How do you calculate the number of days?
Unlike hotels or vacation rentals, we do not force a check-in and check-out time so that your family can have as much flexibility as possible. We count each day that you have the gear. We do not double book our days because we need time to inspect and clean the items to our very high standards. So if you were going to use the equipment starting early evening on Monday and keep them until the following Monday morning, we would count that as 8 days. We try to be as flexible as we can on this.
We have a 3 day minimum. You can rent items for a shorter duration than 3 days but we have to charge a minimum of 3 days in order to make the reservation worth the time for our Quality Providers.
Do you give discounts if we rent for longer periods of time?
Looking for a long-term rental? Rent for 9 days or more and we'll discount your entire order! Discount does not apply to delivery fees.
Daily Rate for Days 1-8
Rental of 9-16 days: 10% off
Rental of 17-24 days: 20% off
Rental of 24+ days: 30% off
Where do you deliver and how much does it cost?
Each Independent Quality Provider sets their own delivery rates and locations they deliver to. There may be extra fees for same day delivery, delivery outside of normal business hours or on holidays. Please check with the Quality Provider you would like to rent from to get an accurate delivery quote.
What is included in the delivery fee?
The delivery fee includes delivery, setup of most items (excluding car seats, safety gates and other baby-proofing items), and pickup at the completion of a reservation. If we have to return to the property for any reason that is not our fault, there will be an additional trip fee. Typically that fee is a one way delivery fee to your location. Also, the website works by honor system in that you pick the location that you understand is most appropriate. The delivery fees are determined by the distance and time from our location. We may have to contact you to adjust for the distance, if the wrong option is chosen by mistake.
What if I want to extend my reservation
Usually that is no problem! Please contact your Quality Provider as soon as you know you'd like to extend your reservation. If the gear you are renting is available for the extra days, the Quality Provider can make that change for you and you will be charged for the extra days. Extensions requested less than 24 hours prior to the originally scheduled pick up time are subject to an extension fee of $25.00. A Quality Provider may need to purchase additional gear to be able to extend your reservation.
What happens if I damage the baby gear, return it very dirty or lose the baby gear?
You are responsible for the gear once it is delivered to you and it must be returned in the condition it was received. Please do not allow any food or beverages in any equipment other than high chairs or booster chairs and please do not allow smoking near the equipment. If items are returned to us extra dirty (including vomit or diaper explosions) or smelling of smoke, you will be charged an additional detail cleaning fee of $30 per item. In the unfortunate event that an item is damaged, lost or stolen you will be charged a reasonable fee to repair the item or fair market value plus shipping to replace the item.
What does the full-size crib include?
The full-size crib is a standard full-size crib. It is modern, sleek, and made of real hardwood. The sides do not drop down. It comes with a good quality firm mattress that is suitable for infants to large toddlers and standard linens that include a mattress cover and single sheet.
What do I do if I don't know how to operate a piece of gear?
Call your BabyQuip (formerly Babierge) Quality Provider. You can also visit the manufacturer's website for additional information and check YouTube for a video from the manufacturer. Car seats will always be delivered with a manual with installation instructions.
What are the car seat laws in the US?
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommends to keep your child in the car seat for as long as possible, as long as the child fits within the manufacturer's height and weight requirements. Please use the NHTSA car seat recommendations for children by age:
Car Seat Recommendations for Children
Why don't you help install car seats?
In order for BabyQuip (formerly Babierge) to obtain insurance for our company and Independent Quality Providers, we have to strictly abide by this rule. There can't be any exceptions. We hope you can understand. Please plan accordingly for the extra time for installation or certified professional check.
Where can we go to have our car seat installation checked by a professional?
Use this site to find local places that can check your car seat Parents Central
What is the BabyQuip (formerly Babierge) Service Fee?
To help cover the costs of running BabyQuip (formerly Babierge), we charge customers a service fee between 6% and 8% every time a reservation is made through the BabyQuip (formerly Babierge) platform. The amount of this service fee is based on the reservation subtotal of rental and delivery charges (before other fees and taxes). The exact amount of the service fee is displayed before a customer pays for their reservation and is also displayed on the cart, delivery information, billing information and payment pages.
Where do I find the service fee?
After entering the dates for a reservation on the cart page, you'll see the service fee included as part of the reservation details.
The exact amount of the service fee is also located on:
- The delivery, billing and payment pages you see before submitting a reservation payment.
- The confirmation email you receive after creating a reservation.
What happens to the service fee if my order is cancelled?
If a Quality Provider cancels or removes a portion of your reservation for a reason of their own, we return the service fee to you.
If you cancel a reservation, the service fee is non-refundable. If you choose to remove a portion of your reservation, the service fee is non-refundable.
Why was my credit card declined?
We are so sorry, we know it is frustrating. When we submit a charge to your credit card bank, those banks have automated systems that determine whether or not to accept the charge. This is NOT determined by us unfortunately.
Your credit card bank can decline a charge for the following reasons:
your normal spending habits don't include services like this usually
spending location (have you ever spent on this card for this location?)
account balance (have you reached your credit limit/maxed your card(s)?)
wrong credit card number, expiration date, security code
transaction amount (high amounts are more likely to get declined)
international credit cards and locations
Call the number on the back of your card to authorize this charge and try making the reservation again.

I think 20 may have been my fave episode of Fairy Tale so far. So cute, so insanely silly. But I was a bit disappointed in Happy's birth scene, as the "gross" part of the "cute 'n gross" from the preview was definitely missing...

Episode 20 was pretty good, It was pretty cool seeing the many of the characters as kids or if not younger, except the Guild master, he doesn't age a bit. Though I'm interested in what happens with Mira, and Lisanna, I'm going to guess, the two are related. and yes Erza rocks, I think I'll try and make her for Soul Calibur soon.

Ya i really liked ep 20... i did like the material that the anime team added; Absolutely loved the NatsuXLisana they built more into there
Only thing i didn't like is the fact that they practically gave away the episodes last punchline... Between the preview mention "when happy was born" and Mira pointing out the dragon was in the picture was Happy you pretty much knew what was going to happen... i mean you read the omake and you are given no hints at all, it was a really nice surprise
also don't like young elfman's and the artist's voices... too deep

finally this episode came
Jubia was just fantastic, her voice really fits her although I think they made her more cute than in the manga (didn't like her a lot in her first appearance but now is one of my fav. characters)
i enjoyed the fight, but animators love Lucky
there's just one thing i noticed since the S-class mages were mentioned at first in the anime and also when Gajeel talked about them, why don't they mention that guy that during most of the series we only knew his name?

Makarov must be getting really old..."I can't stay quiet when I watch the blood of my children" he says, but I didn't see no blood:P
Censorship aside, the Phantom brawl felt not-so-serious thanks to the stills making a dreadful comeback and literally everyone participating. The episode was pretty good anyway, from what I recall I think Levi was supposed to be introduced here, can't believe they actually used her appearance at "changeling" to make Lucy cry :O Speaking of Lucy, next episode seems interesting...

Guns Galore!
I really liked this anime episode. The part where levy and team were pinned to the tree actually felt a bit mortifying, as we 'actually' got to know levy that little extra bit through the filler episode.
An improvement over the manga as we didn't know levy at this point (other than the flashback) and I, myself never felt much for them when I read this counterpart.
Also big thumbs up on showing off some of the abilities of other fairy tail members. Which was also absent from the manga. I loved Lucky and can I say "Gun Magic?!"

My condolences to Levy's team. Get attacked by a strong opponent is pretty bad, but they were also caught offguard which hurt their chances even more. At least they weren't outright killed. Nice seeing the guild enraged and charging in. Sure it seems to be a trap, but sometimes you have to respond and not just sit there.

I feel bad for wanting Levy screen time now.
Even still it was nice seeing Fairy Tail rage.
Lucy really seems to like having Plue out and for some reason she had candy stored under her bed.
Anyway for the next episode I hope Lucy can outwit her rent collectors.

Tune Hotel klia2 is an airport transit hotel like no other. While connected to the klia2 terminal, the hotel is carved out away from high traffic areas of the airport. Just an eight-minute walk from the KLIA2 terminal and you'll find a quiet oasis with rooms designed to pamper you. At the heart of the hotel is the alfresco courtyard. It is nestled in between our all-day dining restaurant MAKAN At Tune and bar and lounge, MINUM At Tune. This is a great place to unwind during a layover, take the edge of long-haul flights or simply to bask in a little sunlight - snack in hand.

Photos: Knicks take 2-0 series lead on Celtics
Kevin Garnett and the Celtics fell into an 0-2 series hole after an 87-71 loss to the Knicks in New York.
Doc Rivers was unhappy with the referees. With Kevin Garnett in foul trouble, Rivers said the fouls called on him were "horrendous."
Garnett had to exit the game in the fourth quarter with five fouls.
Carmelo Anthony got the best of Paul Pierce and scored 34 points for the Knicks.
Garnett and Pierce were left dejected on the Celtics bench late in the game.
J.R. Smith rejoiced after hitting a desperation three pointer at the buzzer ending the first quarter for the Knicks.
Former Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams performed the national anthem on his guitar before the game.

Hey Libby,
There's a tennis event called "Midnight Madness" at UBC tennis indoor courts this Friday(11th) from 11PM to 1AM! They have doubles game, tournaments(casual) etc with different levels of players. The rate is $5 for two hours(totally worth it!), and there's probably going to be about 30 people(they do this event once a month or so).
I am going with two of my friends(guy and girl) this time. Are you interested?
Let me know,

Designed for children, ages 1 - 5, the U.S. patented STRIDER™ No-Pedal Balance Bike is lightweight, easy to control and features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly, the STRIDER teaches your child balance, coordination and develops glittering confidence.
And the STRIDER is steady, stable and safe. At the first feeling of instability, your child will instinctively place his feet securely on the ground. So there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" that stir-up a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding.
Parents will be happy to learn that the STRIDER's assembly is a breeze.
So buy a STRIDER and give your child a safe, confident bike riding experience.
Please note: If your child is 3 1/2 years old or older, we recommend purchasing the Extra Long Seatpost in addition to the standard seatpost included with the STRIDER.

I signed up for a Hotmail email address when I first got access to the Internet about 15 years ago. It wasn't a great service, but it worked. I gave up on it after a while – Gmail was better, after all – but I still logged in every now and then just to make sure old contacts weren't trying to reach me.
And now Hotmail.com has officially ceased operations. The site now redirects to fellow Microsoft email site Outlook.com. All Hotmail emails and contacts still exist; they've just been transferred to a different place. A much more powerful, user-friendly place, or so the TV commercials for Outlook claim.
You've probably seen those commercials, right? The ones set to the Mackelmore and Ryan song where busy people take an inbox full of unread messages and, with the press of just one or two buttons, achieve the magical goal of "inbox zero." It all looks great on the television screen, but is the new Outlook really that terrific?
In short: Not quite. But Outlook does offer huge advantages over the old Hotmail. It even does a couple of things better than Gmail. Let's take a look.
The new Outlook design is great – far superior to the outdated feel of Hotmail. The screen isn't cluttered with nonsense. It's simple, clean, and easy to use, not unlike Gmail.
At the left hand of the screen, you'll notice your Folders and Quick Views. Folders work much the same way they do on Gmail. Quick Views automatically classifies your emails in categories based on their contents, such as Documents, Photos, and Shipping Updates. It's a good way to provide quick access to the important stuff you anxiously check your email for.
At the top of the screen is a blue menu bar. That's where all the good stuff happens, so to speak. When you click an email, that's where the familiar Reply, Delete, and Move to commands appear.
You'll find your contacts (called People) hiding under the Outlook logo in the top left-hand corner of the screen, along with links to some of Microsoft's other properties. Outlook allows you to add people to your contacts pulled from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social networking sites.
Sweeping and Unsubscribing
Sweeping is one of the most talked about features of Outlook.com – you've probably even seen it featured in one of Microsoft's TV commercials. It's a simple and useful tool that allows you to set up rules for the automatic deletion or filing of emails. You'll find the Sweep feature in the top blue menu bar on the Outlook page once you've clicked or opened an individual email.
Unsubscribe is probably one of my favorite Sweep options. Clicking it not only deletes the email in question, but also sends a request to the company that messaged you, automatically asking it to remove you from its mailing list. If the sender refuses the request, Outlook will automatically put all their emails into the Junk folder. Given how notoriously unreliable unsubscribing from email lists used to be, this Outlook option is a godsend.
Just as powerful is the Schedule Cleanup option. It allows you to tell Outlook when you want emails from a certain sender deleted or moved. You can choose to keep only the last email from a sender, or choose to keep mail for ten days after it was sent.
When I scheduled cleanup for my Groupon emails, I was offered the ability to also delete all emails of a similar type, such as those from Barnes & Noble. Doing so quickly cut my inbox down from an unmanageable 25,100 unread emails to a slightly less unmanageable 20,800 unread emails. That was the quick hit – getting rid of the next 1,000 emails took an unfortunate amount of tedious clicking and calling out senders individually.
The Bottom Line
I really like the new Outlook. It's far better than Hotmail, and one could argue that it's as good or better than Gmail.
But at the end of the day, Outlook is just an email provider. There are plenty of useful tools, but if you're hoping for a magic bullet, you'll be sorely disappointed. Keeping things organized still requires a lot of work, but Outlook at least makes that work easier.

Captain's Report
By Christopher Hughes
If you are going to use the word luxury then part of that needs to be comfort. Comfort for a rider starts at the seat and Sea-Doo has put work into designing a seat that is ergonomically shaped and well-upholstered for maximum comfort. Notice how the seat narrows where your knees are, creating a more comfortable and natural position. The backrest is firm and designed to support the driver's back while also providing a soft ride.
Turning our attention to the handlebars we found ergonomically shaped handgrips positioned so that when you are in the driving position your hands and your knees are in a more natural, tucked-in position. The handlebar is also fully adjustable. And, being a luxury machine, you expect to have features, and the features are there. On the port handle grip are thumb controls for the VTS or Variable Trim System which allows you to adjust the attitude of the bow angle by changing the position of the jet pump nozzle. The lever forward of the grip is the iBR or Integrated Brake and Reverse. This allows you to switch from forward to reverse without removing your hand from the grip, give you a true neutral, and when you deploy the brake, allowing you to stop in less distance. On sthe tarboard side are the thumb controls for cruise control.The display is feature rich with a mix of a large analog display and digital multi-function displays that provides 35 different bits of information including fuel level, tachometer, speedometer, hour meter, compass, clock, fuel consumption meter, time/distance to empty, altitude, water temperature, depth finder, touring / sport mode, ECO mode, cruise control, and slow mode, to name a few.
The "iS" stands for a feature called intelligent Suspension. This system allows the hull to move independently of the upper deck, acting as the shock absorber and suspension to smooth out the ride for the driver. It is electronically controlled so you can set it manually or in automatic mode. Our tests have shown that this system works as advertised.
A clever feature Sea-Doo's dry bag. It fits into the console storage and can be removed and converted into a backpack, perfect for landing on an island and taking a stroll.
Another clever item we especially like is the speed tie. The speed tie is a set of spring loaded retractable docking lines. Not only does this prevent you from forgetting lines, it means they are easily accessible when needed.
The GTX comes with iControl which is an all-encompassing term that Sea-Doo uses to describe the major technological features which include the iBR and iS we have discussed above. Others include: iTC, intelligent Throttle Control which operates electronically to allow you to start in neutral, then select activity-specific, Cruise Control like Touring/Sport mode or ECO mode, and control the Variable Trim System. In our opinion this allows for a more interactive riding experience.Since the GTX is electronically controlled there are some other features like the iControl Learning Key. This allows you to program the machine to limit the performance based on the experience of the rider. There is also a digitally encoded security system, one of the first in the industry. That allows you to electronically lock your machine, making it impossible for anyone else to start or operate.The heart of the GTX is the engine and a luxury PWC cannot be built without providing a powerful propulsion system. The GTX Limited iS 260 has a 1503 XHO Rotax 4-TEC engine. This is a 1,494 cc four-stroke multiport injected engine with a supercharger that has an external intercooler and a closed loop cooling system.
Looking at the aft end of the GTX Limited iS 260 there is a lot to talk about. Centered just above the deck is the tow point, and note the cupped indents to either side; these are where the observer places their feet when facing aft to keep an eye on the action at the end of the tow line.On the back edge are two hand grips to assist in re-boarding along with the fold down extended re-boarding step. Centered on the aft deck is another speed tie location, just pull out the dock line and raft up or tie off to the dock.
When the aft deck is raised you'll find two dry storage areas. To port is a deep side compartment and to starboard is more storage with a dedicated spot for your required fire extinguisher. Something we should point out about this storage is that you can access it easily while on the water since it opens facing the driver. This also makes it easy for the driver access the fire extinguisher faster should it be needed.
You can't talk about the GTX without talking about the S3 hull. This hull is specially designed with a step feature and other subtle elements to provide a ride that hugs the water, turns smooth and responsively, and helps reduce the overall weight of the machine. The hull is made using the closed mold process and the new redesign provides the strength and durability needed for a high performance PWC, but with a lower weight.With the goal of designing a luxury performance watercraft, in our opinion the team at Sea-Doo hit their mark. The GTX Limited iS 260 offers comfort, features, and performance in a great looking package. Starting at $16,899 the Limited package also includes a custom cover, sandbag anchor, glove box organizer and safety kit. There is even an option for a wakeboard rack. The GTX comes with a BRP limited warranty which covers the watercraft for one year. If you are in the market for a PWC, we think the GTX should be on your short list.

Team Set to Compete in Season's Signature Event
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's cross country team travels to Amherst, N.Y., this Saturday to compete in its final guaranteed meet of the season, the NCAA Northeast Region Championship. Hosted by the State University of New York at Buffalo, the race will feature 39 teams vying for an NCAA Championship berth.
The top two teams from each region receive automatic invitations to the national meet, while other teams hope to be awarded one of 13 at-large bids. This year, the Northeast region is projected to receive at least two of those bids, owing to a highly competitive field that includes four nationally ranked teams in Iona (ninth), Columbia (22nd), Syracuse (29th) and Providence (30th).
At Heps, the Bulldogs improved upon their 2010 finish, and expect to do the same this weekend. They finished 11th in the meet last year, and this year enter the race ranked tenth in the region. Head coach Paul Harkins is realistic about his team's chances, but still thinks the Elis can make a splash.
"I want the guys to show that Yale cross country is going to be a factor in the years to come," he said. "If we can finish in the top seven or eight, it will be a big step forward for the program towards the goal of being nationally competitive."
Joining Yale at the starting line will be all of its familiar Ivy League foes except for Penn and Princeton, who are in the Mid-Atlantic regional. Yale has also met several of its Northeast opponents in previous meets this season.
The Bulldogs will be looking for strong performances from junior Kevin Lunn, senior Sam Lynch and senior captain Nathan Richards. Lunn has been the first Eli across the line at each of the previous two meets, while Lynch holds the team's fastest time of the season. Also representing the Bulldogs will be sophomore Michael Cunetta, junior Sam Kirtner, freshman Jacob Sandry, senior Julian Sheinbaum and junior Matthew Thwaites.
Having raced only twice in the past month, the Yale runners should be fresh heading into the culminating event of the season, and poised to perform at their peak.
"We have been focusing towards Regionals all year and are ready to have our best meet of the season," said Harkins. "We have had some good performances along the way, and Heps showed that the program is moving in the right direction, but a good day on Saturday will put an exclamation point on it!"
Unlike most of the races Yale has run, the regional meet will cover a distance of 10 kilometers. The gun for the men's side is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. The meet website may be found at www.buffalobulls.com, and results will be available at www.leonetiming.com and www.yalebulldogs.com.

Travel Guide of Key West, Florida Keys for: Key West Bed and BreakfastKey West, Florida Keys, Florida
Key West Summary
- Super laid-back, funky vibe
- Party central of the Keys
- Lots of attractions for the family, like nature reserves and train tours
- Plenty of water activities, like parasailing, snorkeling, and swimming
- Excellent Cuban cuisine
- Warm weather year-round
- Fresh, delicious seafood
- Fun (if rowdy) nightlife; popular bars that stay open 'til the wee hours
- Tons of outdoor activities -- biking, golf, kayaking, tennis
- Gay-friendly
- Only one public airport
- Driving is difficult; parking is expensive
- Small beaches, but very clean
- Some built-up, kitschy areas
- Hurricane potential from August to November
What It's Like
Things you'll hardly ever find in Key West: a mega highway; a quiet night; a wristwatch. This island is packed with an eclectic mix of nature preserves, party bars, and luxury hotels. As the U.S.'s southernmost city, one of Key West's biggest draws is the weather -- it claims to be the only city in the lower 48 states to never have had a frost. Most visitors flock to this city for some genuine R&R as well as bottomless bottles of booze. But there's more to Key West than rowdy bars-- the island is home to a bunch of art galleries, a few interesting museums, including Ernst Hemingway's Home & Museum, and a community movie theatre.
Even though the Florida Keys are not known for their beaches (most of them are man-made), Fort Zachary Taylor Park is a Key West favorite among beachgoers. The old 19th century fort is now a major destination, not only for the buildings of historical relevance, but for the beautiful beach and the wonderful ovean views it offers.
Along with Marolly Square, Duval Street is the main nightlife area, and the main artery of Old Town Key West. It is lined with restaurants, bars, and tacky souvenir shops, and can sometimes feel overrun by cruise ship passengers. However, if you can see past the bright, ridiculous T-shirts, you'll notice that Key West has a certain lovable funk that keeps the tourists coming.
Where To Stay
Visitors seeking the active nightlife that the area is famous for should check out hotels around Mallory Square and Duval Street. Those in need of some R&R will probably find the south side of the island quieter.

Legion elects superior, Vatican names top advisers
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Legion of Christ religious order has elected a new superior and governing council for the first time since the Vatican took it over in 2010 amid revelations that its founder was a pedophile and a fraud.
But in a clear sign that the Vatican didn't trust the Legion's own choices, the Holy See itself appointed two comparatively reform-minded priests to serve on the order's governing council, including the new No. 2. The Vatican said had intended to make its own appointments all along to help encourage trust in the new leadership.
The new general director is the Rev. Eduardo Robles Gil, a Mexican who was a longtime favorite of the Legion's disgraced late founder, the Rev. Marcial Maciel. Legion priests who have left the order called him a "spiritual son" of Maciel and say his election shows no break from the order's troubled past.
Robles Gil said Thursday he adopted as his own a statement issued by the Legion in which it distanced itself from Maciel, apologized to his victims, acknowledged its own problems and vowed to reform.
The Vatican took over the Legion after a Vatican investigation determined that Maciel had lived a double life. He had sexually abused his seminarians and fathered at least three children with two women.
Despite having received reports for decades about Maciel's duplicity and allegations that he was a drug addict who sodomized his seminarians, Vatican officials held him up as a model for the faithful as the Legion brought in vocations and donations.
Then-Pope Benedict XVI ordered a wholesale reform and "purification" of the cult-like order in 2010 after determining that it had been infected by Maciel's influence.
A papal envoy, Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, has been overseeing the reform process and a weeks-long general assembly that resulted in the election. It took place on Jan. 20, but the results were only approved by the Vatican on Thursday.
Usually the Holy See doesn't approve elections of religious orders, allowing congregations to choose their own leaders. But the Legion case is unique.
Asked about the Vatican's decision to appoint its own counselors, a Legion spokesman, the Rev. Benjamin Clariond, said: "We are grateful for the Holy Father's decision to appoint the vicar general and a general counselor. We see it as a motherly gesture."
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the Holy See from the start had intended to appoint two of the counselors specifically to "consolidate trust in the new government even from those who might have doubted the results of a completely autonomous election by the members of the chapter."
"It should thus be read in a positive sense and not as a correction after-the-fact of the results of an autonomous election," he said in an email.
Clariond added that all the names of elected officers that the Legion submitted to the Vatican were approved.
The Rev. John Stegnicki, a former Legion priest now working in the archdiocese of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, said the outcome of the election was "disappointing" but predictable, given the priests voting were by and large Maciel confidants or their protégés.
"Who else could they choose from? All of them are entrenched in Legion-think," he said.
In an email, he said the decision by the Holy See to appoint its own governing counselors was a "balancing act ... an attempt to keep the peace in the Legion and avoid more from abandoning the LC."
The two men appointed by the Vatican include the Rev. Juan Sabadell, who recently penned a very personal apology to victims of Maciel, begging forgiveness for having not believed them and for having defended the Legion's reputation unquestioningly.
The new superior, Robles Gil, on the other hand, recently played down the departure of the reform-minded former Legion No. 2 by saying the priest was leaving for health reasons. The priest later penned a missive saying he was leaving because his efforts to reform the Legion were in vain.
The 60-odd priests who are taking part in the General Chapter issued a repentant apology on Thursday, acknowledging the "shortcomings" of Legion superiors who refused to tell the truth about Maciel, even though they knew he had fathered a child.
The statement also apologized to the original victims of Maciel, who were defamed by the Legion and accused of having lied when in fact they had been sexually abused by "Nuestro Padre," as the members called Maciel.
Juan Vaca, who was sexually abused by Maciel for years, said he was waiting for more.
"Seventy-three years of fraud, contaminated by severe personality disorders of the founder, and imbued by institutionalized lying and duplicity, cannot be deleted by just meetings of a General Chapter and by the subsequent communique," he said in an email to AP.

text: Yesterday we took Alex out for his morning walk which is usually 45-60 min, twice a day. It was 9a and about 82 degrees out. At the park I let him run for about 15 min before we started back home. Gave him water after the run. Starting home he got slower and slower (usually he is running everywhere). Once home he layed most of the day, inside & out where we were working in the garden. Very sluggish and last night had the runs and would not eat. Do you think it is possible it was to hot for him and is it possible for them to get overheated or heatstroke and make them sick? This morning he was a little better but still moving very slow.

Phillipe Starck Designs Wind Turbines for Homeowners
Just in: world-famous French designer Phillipe Starck has designed a range of small vertical-axis wind turbines specifically for use by homeowners. Dubbed the "RevolutionAir" the turbines can be placed in yards, gardens, or on rooftops to help generate power for homes.
Available in a clear quadrangular 400W WT model with a power output of 400W and the helicoidal 1KW WT with a power output of 1 KW, the turbines will be produced by Italy's Pramac and will sell for around 2,500 euros (quadrangular) and 3,500 euros (helicoidal).
How much power is that exactly? According to GOOD, "if you had the big one running at full capacity for an hour, that would give you one kilowatt-hour of energy. To put that in perspective, the average U.S. household consumes 'about 11,000 kWh per year, costing an average of $1,034 annually.' Even if you had the big turbine running at full capacity nonstop for a year you'd still only get 8,000 kilowatt-hours.'"
At the recent unveiling in Milan, Starck was quoted as saying "We have to help people to produce energy, to be part of the fight...Energy should not be a punishment, we should create a desire [among people to produce it]."]]

How true, I work in the delivery business and customers are always amazed that we knock. I hear horror stories of Big Brown all the time. My own - they don't even approach the door but throw the deliveries onto the lawn so that if the sprinklers come on ... I have a two and a half car cement driveway that is the only way to approach the property so they are standing on that when they throw, a cement walkway from the driveway to the porch and a covered/sheltered porch but deliveries are nearly always on the grass. If it's a signature required we might find a hang tag on the fence out front.
The post office will give a honk from the mail boxes, some of the people sharing that box location live a 150 yards or more from the location but everybody is expected to be sitting by an open door or window from the 10:15 AM - 5:00 PM that the mail carrier arrives, it's a rural route so times vary as to when the contractor feels like working.
FedEx is better, we usually find a door tag on the door or the package on the porch, but the driver is an aquantance, don't know what happens when you don't know where they live.

"Driver Release is a UPS residential delivery policy that allows a UPS driver to leave a package at a private residence without getting a signature. At the discretion of the driver, a package can be left out of sight and out of weather."
I have never been a fan of this. Some weather there is no escaping from and an plastic bag thrown over the package but not secured doesn't cut it.
I really miss the days when I lived someplace where the FedEx, UPS, DHL, amd EMS depots were all next to each other (DFW airport). If I missed a package, I always had until 8:00pm or 9:00pm to pick it up at the "Will Call" window and it was on the way home from work.
Packages get delivered to work now.
OK..... all the ranting is done with. By and large, for the number of packages I receive and the fact that they come from all over the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia, the sucess rate is high. If you think about all the places the package has to go to door to door, it's still pretty impressive. In a few cases, the shipper could have packed better (an unsecured metal pin in a #10 envelope, UK -> USA ... nope sorry... never had a chance.... damn I wanted that pin).
Currently I only have two complaints (across all carriers),
If a package is visibly damages, don't just hand the package to me and then try to "beat feet."
I miss the "Dead Letter Office"... if the package is important to me, I am tracking it every chance I get. If it makes it to the city, but some addressing abberation prevents delivery, hold it for a couple of days.
bouncing it back across time zones, when there's someone on this side, actively trying to connect to the package, is just frustrating.

Have you seen "Bigfoot?"
I see "visibly damaged pkgs all the time. 9 times out of 10 the box has a hole in it, but the contents is fine-the box is there to protect whats in it. If I RTS'd all the visibly damaged pkgs, whew- there'd be a lotta PO'd shippers.
And as far as "beatin feet" what makes you think I wanna listen to you bawl me out for a pkg that is or isnt damaged. Either way their isnt a thing I can do about it right then and there.
UPS got rid of 1/3 of its managment last year. So the numbers and production are real important to my boss, and with GPS I really cant screw around like before.
Its a different company now.
And the post office lost how many billions this year? I wouldnt expect the service to improve either.
One more thing- styro peanuts end up all over the floor of my truck if you dont stuff the box with about twice as much as you think it needs.
I hate peanuts.
End of my rant. Apologies if i offended everybody. Xmas starts early round here.

Despite assertions to the opposite, "Bigfoot" doesn't really tolerate wet, cold weather, so I expect I won't see him for awhile. Wet, cold weather has been all we have had for a bit. I expect in the Spring months, when the siren call of Orange Cranberry Scones, and spiked teas are wafting on the air, I will see the big hairy lug again. Until then, I will miss long conversations on the porch about vintage movies and obscure music.
Not sure how that's relevent, but okee doke.

Allow me to clarify. Visibly damageds is a Tri-Tube that has been snapped in half and than repaired in transit by one or two strips of Scotch tape. Hold it one way, and the sides are supported. Turn it, and the container flops askew as if there has been a lapse in its Viagra prescription.
I did not say RTS... nary a mention of it. However, a tag/sticker notifying me that the package was indeed damaged in transit makes the claims process easier for me WRT to the seller. Regarding holes, I would submit that the "fineness" of a package that had sustained holes is entirely dependent on the size and shape of the container. A predominantly flat package that has even a modest amount of holes in it where a museum, gallery or art dealer is obviously the sender.... well, someone's in for some disappointment. A box containing a server rack with a few punctures into dead air because it's surrounded in styrene braces, I would be less concerned about.

As I would have no clue as to whether the damage was sustained in your care, why would I be bawling you out? Why do you think I would expect you to cure whatever ails the situation? As previously stated, notification of damage in transit just makes claims and returns easier. Some carriers have those tags/stickers and others I have never seen using them... and maybe they don't have them. Filling out something like that could be done at the depot or in transit, and would take no longer than a "Sorry, we missed you tag."

As long, as they aren't losing mine, well... rat's furry and all that.

One more thing- styro peanuts end up all over the floor of my truck if you dont stuff the box with about twice as much as you think it needs. I hate peanuts.
I am neither a purveyor, promoter or proponent of packing peanuts. If you think they are a party in a crowded delivery truck, assume that when I receive a package they are just as much fun in an overcrowded office (as my office got merged with the IT store room in our last move). It's worse when I receive multiple such packages in a day.

End of my rant. Apologies if i offended everybody. Xmas starts early round here.
My original post never specified one carrier or another, I have had good and bad experiences with most. Wasn't offended, but your response certainly seems like I ruffled some feathers for which I apologize. The fact that Christmas is seasonal and spikes the delivery streams is a failing of man.

I would love to be able to put damaged pkg on the spot and just not deliver it, get your claim well on its way, but I'm not allowed to do that anymore.
Carriers are putting in more hoops for shippers/receivers to hop thru, as we speak. I heard a shipper of mine go thru hoops like "Whats the crush strength of the carton you used?" JeezGimme a break. My shipper uses double the crush rating that UPS requires. His claims get paid everytime!
DR"driver realease" keeps delivery cheap. Before i started @ UPS used to get sig for everything, residences as well. But UPS wanting to save money and customers not liking having to goto the depot for their pkg everytime they werent home.
For us kiters double boxing a triangle box has worked for me. Since carriers offer those materials for free- take advantage.Fishing tube containers work, and it can be used muitiple times. Is PVC a good option for 100$ plus kite sales? Most carriers have Authorized Return Service labels that can go inside an order so the PVC comes back to the shipper to reuse.
