Los Angeles billionaire Elon Musk, chief executive of Hawthorne rocket maker SpaceX, testified before Congress that the U.S. Air Force and other agencies are paying too high a price to launch its most valuable satellites into orbit.
The government pays billions to a sole provider to launch nearly all of its spy satellites and other high-profile spacecraft, without seeking competitive bids. That provider is United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of aerospace behemoths Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co.
The program will cost nearly $70 billion through 2030, according to the Government Accountability Office. And Musk wants a piece of those lucrative deals.
On Wednesday, he told the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense that the virtual monopoly has suppressed competition since 2006.
"Robust competition must begin this calendar year," Musk said. "There should be no more sole-sourcing under this program when competition is an option," said Musk, who is also the chief executive of Tesla Motors, the Palo Alto electric car company.
The Pentagon has already moved to introduce competition to the launch program, called the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle, or EELV.
In January, the Air Force announced a blockbuster deal to buy 36 of United Launch Alliance's Atlas V and Delta IV rocket boosters. It also opened the door for new entrants to compete for 14 other missions from 2015 to 2017.
United Launch Alliance's Chief Executive, Michael Gass, also appeared before the panel. Although his company welcomes competition, it might not result in savings, he said. After all, Boeing and Lockheed formed United Launch because market demand was insufficient to sustain two competitors.
"We went from two competing teams with redundant and underutilized infrastructure to one team that has delivered the expected savings of this consolidation," he said, adding that all 68 of his company's launches have been successful.
But a recent GAO report on the EELV program said that the formation of United Launch Alliance has made it difficult for the Defense Department to know exactly what it's paying for.
"Minimal insight into contractor cost or pricing data meant [the Defense Department] may have lacked sufficient knowledge to negotiate fair and reasonable launch prices," the report said. The report predicted program costs would grow an at "unsustainable rate."
Musk argued that competition is inevitable and will ultimately save taxpayers billions of dollars.
"Competition is coming to the national security launch market, but it remains a question as to when and how," he said. "SpaceX is ready now to compete, with our Falcon 9 [rocket]."
The company, officially known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., has had eight launches with its Falcon 9 rocket.
It has carried out two cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station for NASA. It was the first private company ever to pull off the feat in 2012 after the U.S. space shuttle fleet was retired. SpaceX is now building a massive new rocket, called Falcon Heavy, capable of lifting the bulky satellites.
The rocket maker is not entirely reliant on the U.S. government. It has dozens of commercial contracts worth $5 billion to launch satellites aboard its rockets for various countries and telecommunications companies.
With about 3,500 employees, SpaceX is a fraction of the size of competitors such as Boeing and Lockheed, which employ hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. and dozens of countries.
Some analysts see that as a strength. SpaceX doesn't have layers of bureaucracy, and it manufactures nearly all of its own parts. But critics point out that the tight regulations on government contracts will add costs.
Founded in 2002, SpaceX makes cargo capsules and rockets at a sprawling facility in Hawthorne that was once used to assemble fuselage sections for Boeing 747s. Musk underscored this point to Congress.
"Our Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles are truly made in America," he said. "This stands in stark contrast to the United Launch Alliance's most frequently flown vehicle, the Atlas V."
That rocket uses a Russian engine, Musk said, and half the airframe is built abroad.
"Supply of the main engine depends on President Putin's permission," he said.
United Launch Alliance's Gass quickly responded that the company had a two-year supply of the engines.
Still, there is no guarantee that SpaceX will win the Air Force's EELV contracts. The company still must win government certification to launch military satellites with the Falcon 9. That requires three successful test launches that meet Air Force specifications, along with a host of audits and technical reviews.

That's amore
If there's any truth to the Italian proverb that one does not age while seated for a meal, then Sophia Loren is living proof. At 76, the woman known the world over as the Italian Marilyn Monroe credits her killer curves to one lifelong beauty secret: pasta.
"Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti," Loren once said.
We put the lady to the test by seating ourselves for a meal at Tuscany Italian Restaurant in Port Arthur. After trying the spaghetti, lasagna, chicken Tuscany and the linguini Frutti de Maro, we left knowing one thing for certain: We did not age a bit while seated for our meal at Tuscany.
"I'm proud of everything; everything is good," said owner Frankie Barezi. "I have very good customers; they are very good people. I love good people."
Barezi's good customers seem to love him right back — both Tuscany and his Beaumont restaurant, Frankie's Authentic Italian Grill, serve the family recipes from Barezi's Italian grandmother. But while Frankie's has somewhat of a Venice theme with gondolas, dim lighting and a brand new bar, Tuscany offers more of an Italian countryside atmosphere.
"We love Tuscany," Barezi raved of the rural region in central Italy. "It's just beautiful — it's all countryside and vineyards, and it's just beautiful."
All along the walls inside Tuscany are beautiful images of the Tuscan countryside. The Tuscany menu is also inspired by the region's cuisine, with Tuscan simplicity and featured ingredients bread, cheese, vegetables and mushrooms.
"We cook everything from scratch," said Barezi. "Everything is fresh and we have good quality because we buy good ingredients — good cheese, fresh meat. It's important. You have to have consistency in the quality of the food, so we don't buy cheap no matter what."
A signature item particularly popular among the pasta lovers is the chicken Tuscany — chicken breast smothered in sautéed fresh garlic, basil, artichoke hearts, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes in a pink sauce over angel hair pasta.
"Everything is made to order, and this is a good thing because we can do anything, really. Let's say somebody wants to say, 'Hey, I need Chicken Venito but I just want marinara sauce,'" Barezi offered, referring to a classic dish on the menu featuring chicken breast topped with mushrooms, onions and crushed red peppers in a pink sauce over ziti pasta. "So, we don't use cream. I mean, we can change or switch anything. It's no problem to do that."
Of course, the mystery pink sauce to which he refers is one of the tastiest blends — marinara sauce mixed with alfredo sauce is the perfect combination for creamy flavor. You may be swapping out your standard marinara for the pink sauce in your lasagna, ziti and manicotti.
If you're a seafood lover, you'll definitely enjoy the towering Tuscany pasta dish known as linguini Frutti de Maro: salmon, scallops, mussels, clams and crab legs dressed in a white wine and marinara sauce blend over linguini pasta.
Just like Sophia Loren, you can see that these Tuscany dishes are very easy on the eyes. We insist that you spend some ageless time at Tuscany with friends, family and maybe a glass of Tuscan Chianti, and see what pasta does for you.
After all, it seems to have worked wonders on Sophia.

F-I-C-T-I-O-N Spells New Fiction at JCPL!
I love Facebook; not really to report any news of my own, but to look at photographs and funny things that other people post.
One day recently while surfing the Internet, I came across Reader's Digest list of "10 of the Goofiest Facebook Groups." Among them are "Friends Don't Let Friends Wear Crocs," "Students Against Backpacks With Wheels," and my personal favorite, "People Who Always Have to Spell Their Names for Other People."
I am one of those "people," but am the one always asking others to spell their name for me. One day, a woman phoned and I did not catch her name from the start of the conversation. Sort of embarrassed to ask her to repeat herself, I decided to ask her to spell it instead.
From the other end of the phone came an exasperated sigh as she spelled, "S-m-i-t-h." In my own defense, it REALLY could have been spelled with a "y" instead of an "i," couldn't it? One more thing I'd like to "spell out for you" is a list of new fiction at your local branch of the Jasper County Public Library, and this is one time you'll be glad I did!
Geiger is an expert at "information retrieval." His is an invaluable gift, and a tool used to extract the truth from even the most unwilling subjects. Geiger's one rule, though, is that he only pushes his subjects so far, taking them to the point that pain takes a backseat to fear AND he will only work with adults, never children. When one of his clients demands that Geiger pull the truth out of a twelve year old boy, he instinctively protects the child, taking him to New York to get him out of harm's way. The race is on, however, to get to the truth behind the boy's secret, and as Geiger and his partner, Harry Boddicker delve deeper into the case, their lives intersect with danger in "The Inquisitor" by Mark Allen Smith.
When Gemma Hardy is orphaned as a child, she leaves her native Iceland for Scotland, where she will live with her beloved uncle and his family. The death of her doting uncle leaves her in the charge of her resentful aunt, and it soon becomes clear that Gemma is nothing more than an unwelcome guest. When the opportunity to attend a private school presents itself, Gemma jumps at the chance to leave her aunt's home and begin a new life at Claypoole. However, Claypoole loses its appeal when it becomes apparent that Gemma is no more welcome there than with her aunt. When the school goes bankrupt, Gemma takes a job as an au pair at Blackbird Hill, the home of Mr. Sinclair, a London businessman. Intrigued by her new boss, Gemma finds herself drawn to Hugh Sinclair, and begins a journey of passion, betrayal and discovery in "The Flight of Gemma Hardy" by Margot Livesey.
Running with a rich party crowd, JW is having trouble keeping up appearances and gets involved with drugs to stay financially afloat. Meanwhile, Jorge, a young Latino drug dealer, has just escaped from jail, and JW tracks him down in order to cover more ground in the drug circuit. Jorge is a much sought-after young man, though, with thugs and other drug dealers hot on his trail, and as all of these characters cross paths en-route to more money, they find themselves pitted against one another in a deadly game of revenge in "Easy Money" by Jens Lapidus.
Desperate to escape a dark secret from his past, Wesley Case settles in Montana, working as a liaison between the American and Canadian militaries in an attempt to smooth over the Native Americans' unresolved anger after the Civil War. Wanting only to buy land and settle into ranch life, Case's life is further complicated when he falls in love with the recently widowed Ada Tarr. Ada already has a suitor, though; the jealous and vindictive Michael Dunne. Along with the American government's vicious assault on the Native American population, Case finds himself personally under assault as well in "A Good Man" by Guy Vanderhaeghe.
You say po-ta-to, I say po-tah-to, you say to-ma-to, I say to-mah-to, you say Smith, I say Smyth, but we all speak the same language when it comes to good reading material. Aren't you glad I spelled it all out for you?

Within the Center for Inclusion and Campus Involvement, one of our objectives is to ensure that we carry out the mission of Rollins College by "providing opportunities to explore diverse intellectual, spiritual, and aesthetic traditions." Through this we provide various entries of engagement through our Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives.
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, visible and invisible abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. Inclusion is the presence and the acknowledgement of these identities and voices, both present and not, that cultivates an enriching experience to explore these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each one of us.
Working closely with the heads of the student cultural organizations we work to help cultural organizations gain visibility on campus through programming and increased membership. Learn More about Student Organizations
Every January the Rollins community celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., beginning with an observance of the national holiday in his honor and continuing with a full slate of events offered by departments and organizations across campus, and in the surrounding community.
Our heritage and culture are not sterile components of our lives, but rich and intricate foundations for who we are. We invite students to experience this richness through a variety of celebrations from many different cultures and hertiages.

The Ignore Feature!
#1 Guest_mrsspookypants_*
Posted 20 September 2006 - 08:18 AM
It is a wonderful tool called the Ignore function. You can find it under "My Controls" on the left hand side in the column. It will say "Manage Ignored Users". When you click that button, it will take you to a screen that will allow you to add people to your ignore list.
By adding a person to the ignore list, you will essentially be skipping any posts that they make. They just won't be displayed. There will be an area where you can choose to display the ignored post and you can feel free to do so if the post appears to be relevant to the conversation and you are afraid that you are missing something.
So if a member here at GV gets on your nerves or for some other reason, you don't want any contact with them, you can add them to your ignore list.
I am sorry to say, that it does not affect Moderators, Town Council Members, or Admins. You can try to ignore us all that you want, but you can't block our posts or PM's.

As the weather starts to warm up and the ice thaws off the lakes, take a look at some tips for fishing in the spring.
Watch the weather: As the weather can change day-to-day during the early spring, make sure you are watching your local forecast to pick out the warmer days to go fishing.
Use bait: During the spring months, fish will be attracted to live bait and you might get a catch.
Fish in shallow water: The shallow water around the edges of a lake can be warmer this time of year, attracting the fish as they seek out warm water.
Pack well: Spring weather can change quickly, so pack clothing for both rain and sun. Also, pack bait that's versatile for different water conditions.
Go later in the day: While usually fishermen set out in the early morning hours, during the early spring the best time to fish can be in the late afternoon, when the water has had a chance to warm up a bit.

AGA's natural gas utility members deliver clean, abundant, affordable natural gas produced in Northern America. Because natural gas is highly efficient and emits considerably less carbon dioxide, sulfur, nitrogen or particulates when combusted than other fossil fuels, natural gas results in a smaller environmental impact than other energy sources.
Supplies of natural gas are becoming even more environmentally friendly. Biogas is made from non-food sources of organic waste, such as landfill and manure. When cleaned to pipeline quality, biogas becomes Renewable Natural Gas that can be delivered to residential and commercial customers. Natural gas also provides a critical back up for intermittent sources of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. Natural gas utilities continually assess emerging technologies and methodologies to determine if existing procedures can be improved.
AGA works with members and leading experts to evaluate how new federal environmental regulatory proposals could impact natural gas local distribution systems and customers. We advocate for government rules and policies that protect the environment while allowing our natural gas utility members to continue to deliver clean, affordable natural gas to customers, safely and reliably. This page addresses key environmental issues that affect natural gas utilities and their customers.
If you would like more information regarding AGA's environmental work, please contact Pam Lacey, Chief Regulatory Counsel, Office of General Counsel.

RegenaLife is different. That's what I love about the company. It's fair. There are no GOTCHAs. No one gets hurt financially. There is no front-loading, no membership fee, no website fee and no renewal fee. The compensation plan is great for the part-timer or serious person. The products are exceptional. If you care about the supplements that enter your body, you will become obsessed with the products we offer.
When I found RegenaLife, I knew I found what I had spent 15-years in this industry looking for. They are the right company with the right products, the right system, and the right compensation plan, at the right time. I've been with the company about 18-months now. I've personally sponsored just over 150 people and have a team of around 1,800 people. My team is succeeding. If I can do this, so you can you!
If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired by what you find in the network marketing industry, I suggest you do your due diligence and check out RegenaLife. Start out as a customer first and you will quickly discover the VALUE of the products. From there, the sky is the limit. Pursue the business if you want. Just be a customer if you want to.

Landee M. - Silver
My name is Landee Martin. I am brand new to the network marketing industry. I was drawn to RegenaLife because of the organic high quality products. I was already in the health and wellness space and it just seemed like a perfect fit. I never dreamed I would make money right away my very first month! I came from a background of a brick and mortar style business where traditionally you have to invest tons of money and time before you ever see a cent.
What I love most about RegenaLife is the great leadership and support I've received. I've learned so much and have experienced some pretty good success, even getting check-match my second month in the business! The compensation plan is very generous and I love that the small guy starting out can make some money. I'm looking forward to continuing to grow my business with RegenaLife. My plan is to ultimately retire one day with the company, but first I'd like to help at least 5 people make 6 figure incomes. I know if I can do it, others can too.
Join RegenaLife Today!
Yussef W. - Gold
My name is Yussef Willoughby. I'm a former Police Officer turned Network Marketing Professional. I've been in the industry for 3 years and love what it has done for me and so many others. I joined RegenaLife in March of 2018 and it truly has been a blessing. Many other companies make it hard and almost impossible to have success when starting out, but here with the great training, leadership, products and awesome compensation plan it's simple and easy to see why we're growing so fast. I consider myself a student of the industry and have done hours and hours of research on various companies, compensation plans, products and leadership. I can truly say RegenaLife has it all: timing and growth, products that work, leadership and owners that care about you, a compensation plan for everyone not just the ones at the top and a team that's willing to help you succeed.
If you're like most people and looking for a home based business, where everyone is in the perfect position to succeed, I highly recommend joining our team here in RegenaLife.
Let's partner together and help those who truly want to get out of the rat race and away from the 40/40/40 plan that society teaches. Going to work until you're too old and broke to enjoy retirement is not the way anyone should live and we have a better way to change our financial future.
It's Our Time, join us and let's Go Make A Difference!!!

I specialize in identifying the particular method to use with each and every one of my clients based on their needs and goals at this moment in their life. Psychotherapy is used in my practice to help individuals establish and meet their goals they may be struggling with due to a mental health disorder or just the adjustment of a different lifestyle. I am here to help identify and help learn skills to conquer the difficulties one may be having.

Therapy is a collaborative process to identify your needs and goals and to work together to achieve your goals and find compassion for yourself. In therapy, we, as a team, look into what and how the behavior/emotional patterns manifest in the current relationships and various life situations that are causing distress. Therapy can be used to explore self in depth, learning practical skills to cope, or to have support through a tough time or life transition. It is YOU who decide how you would like to have therapy be helpful to you.

Healing takes honesty, compassion, safety and patience. I believe the counseling relationship is a partnership between the therapist and the client. We create a team working together toward a common goal, through the use of the individual's personal knowledge and my guidance and coaching. Respecting that every person is unique, my approach will vary in accordance with the personal needs of the individual.

Through the years I have implemented Cognitive Behavioral interventions that have helped individuals move in a positive direction for a happier and more fulfilling life. Whether in a individual or group setting establishing a safe and comfortable rapport with a client/family is crucial in building an effective and productive counseling relationship. Various therapeutic interventions that I believe are most effective include Dialectical, Cognitive Behavioral interventions, Gestalt and Psychodynamic approaches. Again the far most important aspect of the counseling relationship is that the client has rapport with the therapist to facilitate growth and recovery.

Making changes in thoughts and behaviors that no longer work for you can seem daunting. You are not alone! I offer a caring, focused, & effective approach to addressing the issues that are the most troublesome to you. I begin by actively listening and asking questions so that I truly understand your difficulties. I then help you to identify your goals for therapy and develop a treatment plan with actionable steps that we work on together. We prioritize your goals so that the issues that are most problematic for you are addressed first. We search for strengths as well as limitations, and develop a "toolbox" of skills that will help you to achieve your goals for positive change and happiness.

Big Agnes Diversion Insulated Air Core
I just picked up the Diversion by Big Agnes. It's…
Price Paid: $105
I just picked up the Diversion by Big Agnes. It's rated well at 4.1 for an R value and it's light at 26 oz for the 72" length. It packs down quite small and it was recommended to me over a Prolite Plus by the guys at the shop.
I'm a big guy 185cm and 120kg and I find it comfortable. I can fit this this just about anywhere in my pack so it gets a good recommendation from me. I picked it up over the Prolite Plus because it was thicker and that's what makes it comfortable and that much warmer.
A possible con for some is that is doesn't have a pump, so you have to blow up it. It took me about a minute to blow it up easily. I think that the less parts you have to worry about, the better. Keep it simple stupid!
If anything, I'd pick this up because it is made of recycled material. It's a good concept to use materials to preserve the environment that you are enjoying out on the trail or wherever you may be.
Where to Buy
The Big Agnes Diversion Insulated Air Core is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen March 24, 2014 at Mountains Plus.

Black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates said he can now joke about his arrest by a white police officer that led to a heated debate on race -- and that the two have talked about sharing a meal together.
In his first public appearance since meeting with Sgt. James Crowley and President Obama at the White House, Gates said he's been able to joke about the incident and even talked with the officer about dining out or watching a Boston Red Sox or Celtics together game.
Gates made an appearance at the Martha's Vineyard Book Festival to promote his book, "In Search of Our Roots: How 19 Extraordinary African Americans Reclaimed Their Past."
"Everyone looked like a deer caught in headlights," Gates said of the White House beer summit.
"I said to him, 'I would have sworn you were 6-feet-8 inches tall," he said of his first encounter with Gates. "He said, 'I used to be, but I've lost 2 t o3 feet over the last two weeks."
Neither man apologized during the meeting at the White House last Thursday but agreed to talk further.
Gates was arrested outside his Cambridge, Mass., home last month as he attempted to enter his house without a key. He was slapped with disorderly conduct charges that were later dropped but said he was racially profiled.
Obama said the police "acted stupidly" by arresting the scholar.
Gates said he's received a number of threats, including one email that read, "You should die, you're a racist."
He changed his e-mail address and cell phone and some even suggested he move from his home, he said.

Coast to coast, city to city, the European Quest is el perfecto! Balancing everything we love about being in Europe. Stunning days spent on the coast of San Sebastian, cultured nights bar hopping in Prague, and enough time in Italy to leave you up to your eyebrows in pizza.
Check in to your hotel after 2:00pm and head out into the humming capital of Britain for a sneak peek at what's to come. At 4:00pm meet up with your Trip Manager and get to know your fellow travellers.
Welcome to the first day of the best holiday of your life - we're calling it early! After a few pleasantries in London we'll get the show on the road with Paris in our sights.A few hours in and your jaws are on the floor already. These chalk cliffs that edge the English coastline are known as the White Cliffs of Dover, the first of many natural beauties we'll see on this trip.After we ferry across the English Channel for France we'll arrive in Calais, where we will take in the history of World War I battlefields in the Valley of the Somme.Kicking off night one, we arrive in none other than the lust-worthy Paris! It's straight down to business with a tour of the city lit up by the lights of night.
Drool over haute couture you can't afford, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral whilst juggling coffee and crêpes, & get artsy at the many museums of the Louvre. Just don't wear yourself out, you will probably want to get involved with dinner and a cabaret show. Smitten and it's only day two!
Wipe away your tears sad travellers! Paris is not going anywhere, you can always come back and visit her again. You, on the other hand, are going somewhere, and it's somewhere pretty magnificent...Wise folk tell us that wine has been produced in Bordeaux since the 1st Century - that's a long time, which means they know what they're doing. And it's not just the vin that has dragged us here, it's a pretty place to boot featuring its famous Miroir d'eau (water mirror).
Breathe in your last breath of Bordeaux before we hit the road in search of the Spanish border. In just a few short hours we'll be beach side and exploring San Sebastian.Keep your swimmers out for our stop at a local fishing village for a dip and some people watching in this cute little town on the French and Spanish border.With two nights in Spain's coastal town of San Sebastian, it will be hard to wipe the smiles off our faces. Flop on the beach or take a walk to the aquarium where you can get a closer look at Isla de Santa Clara. The night is yours.
We'll be dropping lots of delicious sounding words today as we explore Parte Vieja, Playa de la Concha and Centro Romántico. Say it again: Romántico! Follow the cobblestone roads & soak up San Sebastian's coastline. Here you can learn to surf, lounge on the beach, or bar hop until you're sinking in pintxos.
Having settled into life with afternoon siestas, today will only be a departure from San Sebastian, leaving Spain is not on the agenda. Sigh with relief.This town comes complete with a baroque Basilica, a perfect combination of Islamic and Gothic architecture and truly a sight to behold.Hola Barcelona...The first dose of Mediterranean Sea! That's if you can drag yourself away from the intoxicating city & get to the beach. Unique gothic architecture, round the clock parties & plenty of street life will leave you spellbound by Barcelona.
They say this sexy city sizzles and we couldn't agree more. For a taste of what you can do, here's just a start of the never-ending list. Channel Gaudi at Sagrada Familia, his greatest masterpiece, started in 1882. This labour of love is still not compete, but is one for the Instagram upload for sure. Parc Guell could be next on the list, followed by a swim at the beach, and of course taking to the backstreets for some endless tapas and paella. Washed down with sangria of course.
As smitten as we are by Barcelona, we have more of Europe to conquer. Much, much more...You're not a real celebrity until you've frolicked on the French Riviera, and who are we to keep you off the A-List? Sapphire waters & endless glamour as we roll through this glitzy coastline.
Missing an opportunity to see this part of the world up close and personal would be criminal. Speaking of things you shouldn't miss, this region is famous for lavender honey, aioli & rosé wine; all 3 in one meal should be your mission.Fragonard Perfumery in the French Riviera, now there's a place to check out! And stock up on perfume, obviously. Especially given the greatly discounted prices and authenticity of buying in France.Please tell us you didn't throw away all of your pennies on perfume today? Because you're going to want a few spare coins tonight so you can play fancy. We're visiting the Monte Carlo Casino & the Royal Palace in Monaco. After a night on the blackjack table it's back to the coast and to bed, the next part of the adventure starts tomorrow.
Having exhausted all our hilarious Nice puns, we'll head south in search of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Cinque Terre.Welcome to Cinque Terre, the sexiest collection of fishing villages on the planet. Armed with your rail pass, spend the day absorbing the dramatic beauty of this place, but we suggest you get out for a hike, a food crawl, some vino or all of the above.
Have an extra coffee before we make tracks this morning, the extra energy hit will serve you well as we're gallivanting around Italy swooping from one wow moment to another.As if we were going to leg it to Florence without a sneaky side trip to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Depriving you of the chance to perfect the holding-up-the-tower shot would be down right criminal.We are now nesting under the Tuscan sun in the breathtaking city of Florence. The adventures commence pronto with a tour of the city, a leather craft demo and many sites. Conserve some energy for the evening of Tuscan feasting and disco dancing on offer.
After farewell-ing Florence this morning we will journey along the boot of Italy until we reach the globally adored town of Sorrento for some blissed out coast hangs."So so so so in love with Sorrento" are about the only words you'll muster up tonight as you sit seaside watching the sunset in this town of beauty.
Rise and shine! When we're in this part of the world, it would be rude not to uncover the rugged beauty of the Amalfi coast.This has to be one of the most scenic drives in Europe, as we soak in the plunging mountainsides, lush woodlands and glittering waters that make this landscape a UNESCO World Heritage site. You'll have the opportunity today to explore a stunning lemon grove and meet a local family while enjoying local delicacies like limoncello and lemon cake. When life gives you lemons, make all your days as sweet as this.Our journey along the coast will continue with a visit to the dashing Positano, with its cascading terraced houses and wisteria-lined promenade. You'll have time to walk the coastal streets and grab lunch as your overlook the waves lapping on the shore.We'll arrive back in Sorrento with full stomachs and full camera rolls. It's definitely been a day to remember.
Another glorious Italian day awaits us. Iconic sites and ancient history will keep our jaws at floor level until our heads hit our pillows.After less than an hour gazing lovingly out of our windows at the Amalfi Coast, it will be time for a stop. Here in the ancient city of Pompeii you will have the chance to partake in a guided walking tour taking in Roman city remains.Today's roadtrip beauty is never-ending as we take in the volcanic beauty of Mt. Vesuvius en route to Rome. On arrival in the open time capsule that is Italy's capital, your Trip Manager will get you straight into the sightseeing. The Roman Forum and Colosseum can both be ticked off your list should you be in the mood for a little history.
Rome wasn't built in a day - so get up and get going early to make the most of this ancient city.You can also choose to uncover the home of the Pope at the Vatican Museums, including Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica; with a Local Guide on your side, no question will go unanswered. Then hit the streets for your own discoveries. Snap pink azaleas by the Colosseum, throw coins in fountains and sip espresso in a pretty street watching Italian life float by.
We have two more pins dropped on the Italian map before we start conquering new countries. And you'll be pleased to know they are both pretty special.In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, a posse of travellers, all alike in excitement, check out the place that inspired Romeo & Juliet, yes, the very same balcony. One for the romantics of the group. We'll also check out the Roman Arena where other love stories were told.Kudos to the cats of decades gone by who constructed this lagoon fairytale. The 118 islands of Venice are yours to explore. Boats, bridges, gondolas; your heart is going to pound. Relax tonight knowing we have all day tomorrow to cruise canals & explore pretty streets. Just another day in the traveller's life.
Wake-up sleeping beauties! Venice is yours for the entirety of this glorious Italian day. We'll be jumping aboard our own private boat and hitting the canals en route to the historical heart of the city. A guided walking tour and a gondola ride are up for grabs, or you can always choose to get lost on your own and see where the maze takes you.
That's it for our lengthy stint in Italy. Gelato, pizza, historical monuments, coastlines, gondolas; you have all been wonderful!Onwards and geographically upwards - it's time for the mountain ranges that made the Sound of Music famous. Also home to Mozart, you can be pretty certain this place knows a beat. Today we'll also see the largest preserved fortress in Central Europe - Hohensalzburg - and have the chance to visit a local farm and enjoy an authentic Austrian Dinner prepared by our hosts.
Austria, you are an overwhelming beauty. Although it would be nice to stay forever, it's time for us to cross the border into the Czech Republic. Here you can opt for a stop at Eagle's Nest for some WWII history and panoramic pics should you feel so inclined. With Prague on the horizon, things are looking mighty fine.Castles and bridges and gothic cathedrals make the city of Prague a surprise and delight. Compact and bursting with atmosphere, use your free time to trot around on foot and see what you stumble upon (hoping to heaven it's the traditional fruit dumpling of ovocné knedl��ky).
With a full day to loiter, expect an entire photo album of Gothic architecture, market antics & you cheers-ing cheap beer; not to mention life!
Just remember, with every great city we leave behind, we get a little bit closer to somewhere new to explore. And today that somewhere new happens to be the cultural hub of Berlin. Thanks for everything, Czech!A roadtrip from Prague to Berlin would not be complete without stopping in Dresden. Destroyed by World War II, the rebuilt town is now a symbol of resilience, soaked in the rebirthed beauty of an Opera house, the domed Frauenkirche, & the Royal Residence.Come for a wall covered in art & history, stay for a culture of cool, a smorgasbord of partying & enough unique German flair to leave you desperate to see the rest of the country. Today we will shower you in iconic sites, none more interesting that the remains of the Berlin Wall.
Get into the mood of exploration. Berlin has so much to offer the hungry traveller, from the obvious icons like Checkpoint Charlie to all the obscurities tucked away in the side streets.By night this city comes alive, so get into the groove and visit one of the cool backstreet bars or clubs and rub shoulders with the locals, cos that's what travelling is all about, right?
It's time to hit the original fast-track of the autobahn and make our way out of Germany. We have one last city to tick off & it's sure to see us go out with a bang.Whatever eclectic fantasies you have about Amsterdam, the real life version will impress you more. Fire yourself up for pretty canals, a bounty of unique museums & quirky cafes galore.
This morning we head off to Edam to eat some cheese!You know the cheese, and now you're going to know the place that pioneered it. We'll cycle into the countryside squealing at windmills & going hysterical over tulip fields on our way to an actual cheese farm & clog maker's house.It's our last full day on trip & our last night to party up a storm with the squad. Use the day to explore quirky museums & sample the endless array of cuisines this city has on offer. In the mood for Dutch pancakes? Of course you are. Just ask your Trip Manager on the best places to head. For those that can't get enough of those cute canal houses, take to the streets with your phone and get those Insta likes at an all time high. It would be rude not to go large tonight with the squad, starting with an optional dinner of Dutch favourites and a canal cruise with drinks to set the mood.
Get your tissues ready, it's time to say goodbye to your new Contiki family. We'll escort you to Schiphol Airport by about 10am.For those not leaving us until London, we'll travel south through Belgium - cross another country off your list.This afternoon we cross from France to England and then back to London-town, where you'll be left to start dreaming up your next big adventure.

You, Sub Pop, & 2013's SXSW
Are you by chance heading down to South By Southwest this year? ?? (Was your answer "yes" to that question? If so, read on, if it was "no", see the below*)?? That's crazy, because us too! Well, some of us are. The "us" to which I am referring are the collective "us" that is comprised of the always terrific Sub Pop recording artists METZ, Pissed Jeans, Rose Windows, Jaill and King Tuff. There will be other Sub Pop employees there, but they won't be playing shows, so they don't really matter too much in the context of this blog post(though I'm certain that if you found one, they'd definitely buy you a drink or your choosing). Since you are going to SXSW, why not take a minute to acquaint/reacquaint yourself with the aforementioned bands through the magic of this playlist we're not-so-creatively calling, "The Sub Pop Bands Playing SXSW This Year." I think you'll be impressed.
*That's crazy, because neither are we! Well, some of "we" aren't going, but others of us are. The "we" that are going are the always terrific Sub Pop recording artists METZ, Pissed Jeans, Rose Windows, Jaill and King Tuff.

365 Doodles - Day 215 - Normal Service will be resumed shortly ...
In about 10 hours time I'll be bombing down the M4 towards Cornwall. I'm visiting my folks back home and I'm deliberately not taking a laptop, just my phone. So I'll get my emails and tweets etc. but I won't be able to blog or post a doodle. I'll make up for it when I get back, I promise. And I'll post all of the art I create while in Cornwall as a retrospective '365 Doodles'.
See you all soon!
I'll bring you back a proper pasty.

"All Night Parking-Ban"
In an attempt to keep the streets of our town clear from snow in the event of a major snow storm, The West Seneca Town Board in 1970 establish the All Night Parking Ban under the Town of West Seneca Zoning Laws Section 115-8. This ordinance bans the overnight parking of any vehicles on any town or county road within the geographical boundaries of West Seneca. The parking ban is in effect from 1am till 7am each day from November 15th to March 15th. The ban is regularly enforced by the midnight patrols and cars in violation are issued parking tickets. The tickets come with a fine of $15.00. If the fine is not paid within 10 days the fine doubles. Those violators that are persistent are also subject to having their cars towed.
Due to limited off street parking on some streets near our western boundary with the City of Buffalo certain streets are exempted by this law.
The list is as follows:
1. Wildwood Pl. north to end
2. Duerstein Ave. from Manhasset St. south to city line
3. Edson St. between Manhassett St. and city line
4. Burch Ave. between Manhassett St. and city line
5. Oschawa St., the north side between Duerstein Ave. and city line
6. Grace St., the west end from Wildwood Pl.
7. Stephenson St.
8. Winegar Pl. from Wildwood Pl. to end
Please note that in some cases only parts of some of these streets are exempted. Also the exemptions are for the snow ban only. All other parking restrictions are in place as posted.

- Step into a scene from an ancient vase in the shadow-pose area, where you can transform yourself into an athlete, musician, or even a monster and act out your own original stories.
- Explore vase-painting techniques used by ancient craftsmen in the vase-decorating area, where you can rub patterns off designs inspired by ancient examples or draw on life-sized replicas of ancient vases.
- Learn about vase shapes by experimenting with three-dimensional puzzles that allow you to construct different vase forms by piecing together building blocks.
- Experience the feel of potters' clay, see a diorama of vases being fired inside a kiln, and step into an oversized replica of a pithos (a large vase with relief decoration) that projects from the wall.
Continue your adventure in the galleries with free activity guides, available in both English and Spanish, that explore some of the many Greek vases in the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection.

A Minimal, Modern Wedding at the Greenhouse Loft in Chicago
Dylan Gordon (29 and a product manager) and Steven Henry (31 and an architect) opted to keep the details of their day simple, modern and chic, adding neutral wood accents and glass bottle bud vases to the Logan Square loft venue. An officiant wasn't necessary since the couple wed in a civil ceremony at the Chicago courthouse the day before. Instead, the grooms' fathers gave short speeches to the crowd before the couple swapped wood rings. Afterward, guests played lawn games during cocktail hour on the loft's roof. "We didn't need or want any of the formality or clichés," Steven says. "The only traditions we kept were the first dance and mother-son dances—we couldn't disappoint our moms."

224-Year-Old Rhode Island General Store Closing
LITTLE COMPTON, R.I. (AP) - Gray's Store in Rhode Island brought in customers for years with its old-fashioned marble soda fountain, cigar and tobacco cases, and Rhode Island johnny cakes.
The 224-year-old business in Little Compton may be the oldest operating general store in America, although others have staked similar claims. The store near the Massachusetts line opened in 1788. Now owners say this year is its last.
Gray's is set to close Sunday.
Owner Jonah Waite inherited the shop after his father died last month. He said it was a hard decision to close the store and leave behind all the history, but the shop's finances aren't sustainable and a supermarket down the street has siphoned away business.
In 2007, Rhode Island leaders proclaimed Gray's the oldest continuously run general store in the country.

A couple of months ago a friend of the family told me she was getting remarried and asked if I would be her wedding photographer.
"I just love your photos." She said. "I know you'll do a wonderful job."
This woman has been like a second mother to me. I love her dearly, so I wanted to say yes, of course I'll take your pictures! But, I'm not a professional photographer and well, it's a wedding. A wedding requires a professional.
I told her that I was flattered, but I also reminded her that I was not a professional, that photography is something I love, but not something I get paid to do.
"I trust you." She replied.
Because she is dear to me, and because she did so much for me growing up, I agreed to do it. I had no intention on charging her because again, not a professional. I was going to do it because I love her and because it was something she really wanted me to do.
The wedding was on Sunday. On Saturday night, I'm not sure I slept for more than 3 hours. I tossed and turned all night. I was terrified, nervous and insecure. I did not take this job lightly. My called my sister and expressed my concerns. "Be confident, own it and kill it." She said.
I arrived an hour earlier than they asked me to be there so I could check the venue out. I was sweating before I had even taken my camera out. I was nervous as hell.
The bride arrived and I just started shooting. She didn't have specific requests (aside from traditional family type poses before the wedding.) So, I just watched and tried to capture the beauty and details of the day. I'm telling you, the next day, every muscle in my body ached from standing, squatting, laying on the ground and running. My respect level for wedding photographers went up by the BILLIONS.
I posted the album of photos the day after the wedding. I was nervous, afraid I had missed things or not done a good enough job. Then, she left a comment (and later that day, left me a voice mail) that said the following:
"Yvonne I don't know what to say… Every picture is perfect. You are the best! Another talent you have you have been blessed with."
It wasn't until I read those words that I realized just how stressed out I was. I actually cried with relief to know that she was happy with what I had captured. I was happy to do that for my dear friend, but I don't think I'll be doing that again for anyone any time soon, or probably ever. I'm way too big of a wimp to deal with that kind of pressure.

Feb '12 - Apr '13
In the final semester before graduating, GSAPPers go on their famous "Kinne trip." Each design studio travels to a different country to research and gain new insight for their project proposals.
My studio (with critic Mark Wasiuta and Craig Buckley) traveled to Brazil. We have been investigating collection(s) and territories, trying to define these "fugitive" terms, questioning the forces that create boundaries, redefining how they operate in different contexts, and developing our own theories on how architecture has agency in today's world. During the two-week trip, we tested our theoretical lenses in Rio, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, and São Paulo. The work has been challenging, but also lot of fun (as usual!).
Some photos I'd like to share from my travels:

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 18, No. 1 June 1991 Mark A. Covaleski UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON and Mark W. Dirsmith THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY MAINTAINING ACCOUNTING AS THE PARAMOUNT INTEREST IN ACCOUNTING RESEARCH: RE-EXAMINING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF DR SCOTT Abstract: Cushing's [1989]-recent analysis of Kuhn's [1970] character-ization of the state of crisis within a discipline's research agenda sug-gests that the accounting discipline is showing symptoms of such a crisis. In this paper, DR Scott's [1931] classical work The Cultural Significance of Accounts is developed in terms of it being one of the earlier and more significant efforts to recognize a pending crisis within the accounting research arena. Scott's work is defined as not only being a precursor to identifying the crisis in accounting research, but also as providing a meaningful basis for addressing the significant issues embedded within the contemporary research crisis. The intel-lectual underpinnings of DR Scott's work are traced to that of Max Weber, Thorstein Veblen, and other scholars concerned with examin-ing the changing status of society and economic organizations. It is argued that it is this critical appraisal of the relationship between economic organizations and society which drives Scott's concern for the fundamental issues at stake for accounting research. The authors thank the University of Wisconsin-Madison Industrial Research Program and Price Waterhouse Foundation for their financial support. Earlier versions of this paper were presented to and benefitted from presentation and constructive comments in the organizational and accounting seminars at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Pennsylvania State University, Queen's University, the University of Connecticut, and the Institute for Informatik & Okonomistyring at the Copenhagen School of Economics and Business Adminis-tration. We particularly wish to thank Stan Biggs, Anthony Hopwood, John Meyer, Jeff Michelman, Anne Miner, and Mayer Zald for comments pertaining to earlier versions of this paper. The authors also wish to thank two anonymous reviewers for their constructive and insightful comments towards the improve-ment of this paper.

"Generally, coffees from Central America are washed coffees, and sun dried on raised tables or on patios, which creates a profile that is very clean with bright acidity," says Crema's owner Geoff Polci, who used to live in the region. A lot of coffee in this region, which includes Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Panama, are grown in the shade of pre-existing banana and citrus trees, and whether as a direct result of through biochemical coincidence, the coffee tends to have a lot of fruity notes, including banana, pineapple and citrus.
The standard Central American coffee, according to Polci, evinces "gentle citrus with a chocolatey-nutty flavour. They're normally balanced, clean and mild."
But each country has its own character, which is influenced here more to a greater than average extent by reasons other than soil and climate. El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua all had their coffee industries disrupted by political troubles, and Honduras had a series of natural disasters that decimated its ability to produce. The best coffee from the region is generally considered to be Guatemalan, with the Costa Rican crops taking a close second as a popular favourite. But as industry habits change, with more growers and distributors aiming at the higher end of the market, these countries of small producers are in a good position to cultivate any number of new flavour nuances.
