Guests of Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area explore dozens of original buildings, homes, and shops reconstructed on 301 acres - most on their original foundations. Rare animal breeds, historic trades, and lovingly restored gardens add layers of authenticity to the Colonial Williamsburg experience.

On May 15, 1776, from The Capitol of what was England's first permanent colony in the New World, Virginia legislators instructed their delegation at Philadelphia's Continental Congress to introduce a resolution to make the colonies independent from Great Britain. The gentlemen at Williamsburg sat in the oldest representative assembly in what was then the world's newest nation. The assembly traces its beginnings to 1619 when the House of Burgesses first convened at Jamestown. » Nearby: The Gaol * Benjamin Powell House * Presbyterian Meetinghouse * Christiana Cambell's Tavern
Standing as evidence of the position the king's representative enjoyed in the capital of England's largest American colony, the Governor's Palace was the third largest public building in Williamsburg. The 3,380-square-foot Georgian home included an 11-bin wine cellar. The immaculate grounds offered a formal garden and natural park that stretched to the north. The stable, carriage house, kitchen, scullery, laundry, and an octagonal bathhouse were arranged in service yards. It was an elaborate household requiring 25 servants and slaves to tend.» Nearby: Everard House * Play Booth Theatre
Raleigh Tavern was the center of events and a gathering place where plans were made to join other colonies in the American Revolution. Meet people from the past and then enjoy freshly baked gingerbread cakes in the adjacent Bakery. » Nearby: Silversmith * Printer * Apothecary * Prentis Store * Tarpley's Store * Milliner * Wigmaker * Shields Tavern * King's Arms Tavern
See The Magazine, the colonial arsenal housing a collection of muskets and cannon. Take part in musket-firing demonstrations and drills, watch the militia, and listen to the fife and drums.
Pretend you are justices, defendants, and witnesses at The Courthouse, and then swing into Chowning's Tavern, one of the most popular places for BBQ, beers, and ales.
Bruton Parish Church was the Anglican church of the capital and is still active today.» Nearby: The Colonial Garden and Nursery * Geddy House and Foundry * Mary Dickinson Shop * Wythe House * Greenhow Store

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is reconstructing an industrial site that helped forge the American Revolution. The new buildings, which include the armoury, a kitchen, privy, two storage buildings, and a tinsmith's shop, will be located on the site of the present blacksmith's shop. When complete, Anderson's Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury will reflect the complexity and urgency of mounting a war effort against the world's most powerful 18th-century nation.
2009 marked the 30th anniversary of Colonial Williamsburg's African American programs.
Colonial Williamsburg offers two historic sites to explore the day-to-day lives of enslaved Virginians.» The Peyton Randolph House and outbuildings provide hands-on activities that represent the daily life of Peyton and Elizabeth Randolph and their relationship with Eve, Johnny, and the other 23 slaves during the American Revolution.» Great Hopes is a hands-on site where interpreters perform a variety of daily activities that represent slave history, culture, agriculture, and carpentry on a small, rural 18th-century plantation. The site represents the way the majority of Virginians lived at the time of the Revolution.
The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum features an extensive collection of American and British antiques, showcasing furniture, metals, ceramics, glass, painting, prints, firearms, and textiles from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
Young patriots can enjoy hands-on activities and exhibits throughout the year, such as Wee Folk, Map Quest and Crack the Code. Also see the Public Hospital exhibition depicting the treatment of mentally ill patients. Visit the Museum Shop and the Museum Cafe, too.
Under the same roof, you'll find the award-winning Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, the oldest institution in the United States dedicated solely to the collection and preservation of American folk art.
Bassett Hall was the home of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller during the restoration of the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area. Tour the house and walk among the gardens and the woodland trails established during the 1940s.

August 24 – Happy Birthday Brett Gardner
A salesman who used to call on me had a thirty-something-year-old son who had never left home. We'd go out to lunch and this guy would unload on me, telling me how this "kid" would drink his beer, drive his car, wear his clothes and spend his money. Evidently, his wife didn't mind having the son around and whenever he tried to discuss his unhappiness over the situation with the "boy," a heated argument would ensue and the "kid" would scream "You'll miss me when I'm gone!" and than storm out of the house, get in his father's car and drive off.
Today's question is; Do the Yankees miss Brett Gardner? Even though their AL East lead has shrunk to just three games as I update this post, you'd have to conclude that the answer to this question has to be; "Not too much."
This current Yankee team was built around its $90 million infield, CC Sabathia and its bullpen. But it has been the play of its less heralded outfield that has helped the ball club continue to achieve regular season success in recent years. Despite his too-frequent strikeouts, center fielder Curtis Granderson has been a force. Nick Swisher has over-achieved since he donned the pinstripes. And up until this season, Brett Gardner was evolving into a better than average big league outfielder.
On April 17th, in a game against the Twins, Gardner dove to make a play on a ball in left field and injured his right elbow. At the time of the injury, no one thought it was serious, but the pain has lingered all season long. In July, the Yankees decided to shut him down for the rest of the season.
At first, the Yankees used the triumvirate of Raul Ibanez, Andrew Jones and Dewayne Wise in left and had good success. But the team's front office was concerned that the ages of Ibanez and Jones would catch up with them by the end of the season and they evidently didn't think Wise was the answer either, because they went out and acquired Ichiro Suzuki from Seattle in late July. My personal conclusion is that all this maneuvering has helped the team move forward minus Gardner without missing a beat. But I am concerned that by missing all this time, Gardner's evolution as a Yankee may have been permanently stalled.
There are things about Gardner's play that continue to bug me. For example, he still waits too long in the count to attempt most of his stolen bases. He strikes out way too much for a small-ball specialist. I've seen him swing at some horrible full count pitches and he doesn't seem as willing to accept base-on-balls as he used to be. But he has proven to be a much better hitter than I thought he was and he has become an excellent big league outfielder. Gardner's great speed can change the dynamic of a game at any point and forces Yankee opponents to throw lots of hit-able fast balls when he is on the base paths. He led the AL in stolen bases with 49 thefts in 2011. He has also proven he is a good leadoff hitter and when he hits ninth, he remains one of the best bottom of the lineup guys in all of baseball.

The majestic Capitol building stands at the center of the city, allowing unobstructed views of the best known attractions and centers of government. The giant open space of the Mall is marked off by the various museums of the Smithsonian Institution, the largest cluster of museums in the world. The National Museum of the American Indian pays tribute to the original American settlers. The National Air and Space Museum celebrates the nation's achievements in flight and space exploration, from the Wright brothers first biplane to the Apollo moon mission and beyond. Visitors line up daily for the Natural History, American History, and Science Museums to explore the wonders of history, science, and technology, and to view the famous Hope Diamond. The Smithsonian Institution also includes the world-famous Sackler, Freer and Hirshhorn galleries. Art lovers appreciate the nearby National Portrait Gallery and National Museum of American Art.
Looking past the mall, the Washington monument stands 505 feet above the city. It was the tallest man made structure in America from its completion until the early 1900's. Behind this monument is the reflecting pool and the memorials dedicated to President Abraham Lincoln and to those whose lives were lost in World War II, the Vietnam War , and the Korean conflict. New to the area of the tidal basin, and facing the Jefferson Memorial, a memorial to Franklin Roosevelt lies on the Potomac River. Not far from there, the National Holocaust Museum hosts millions of visitors each year.
The offices of the various government agencies take up much of the remainder of the city, and most offer free tours to the public. The White House also offers free tours, and the lines can sometimes stretch around the adjoining block to visit "the people's house." Just outside the city, the National Zoo houses thousands of animals on 163 acres of parkland. Across the river in Arlington, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier stands amidst the somber majesty of Arlington National Cemetery, where John and Robert Kennedy are also buried.
Washington has many distractions from politics. Washington's theater life is thriving; it is second only to New York in number of theater seats. The National Symphony and other musical companies play full schedules. As a temporary home to diplomats from around the world, Washington's restaurant offerings are among the finest and most diverse in the country.
The beauty and grandeur of the nation's capital continue to captivate the millions of American and international tourists who visit Washington, D.C. each year.

Hold the phone, stop the presses, pause the DVD, reverse sun damage, halt memory loss!
I. Am. Freaking. Out.
Okay. Deep breath. This is actually fairly common in publishing, I'm told. Editors change houses frequently; sometimes books and authors go with them, sometimes they don't. I hope that I'll continue to work with Jill, as I adore her. And I am incredibly lucky to have a terrific agent in my corner. I'll let you know more as the situation develops. Or deteriorates. In the meantime, I will be arranging the following supplies on my desk: a paper bag, a vat of aspirin, a tub of TUMS, a case of whiskey, an MC Hammer CD (to remind myself that it could always be worse), and a framed picture of Tom Cruise (again, to remind myself that it could always be worse. I could be batshit crazy.).
Ah, what else. Oh, I sprained my ankle! Was I: a) rock climbing at High Cliff State Park; b) training for the Fox Cities marathon; c) assaulted by a gang of rough-and-tumble first graders at the park; or d) jumping three lousy feet from my stair-less back door onto our new driveway?
If you answered d), you win a prize! It's an invisible gift certificate to TGI Fridays. Anyway, the ankle's healing nicely, but it upset my plans for sharing a Very Special Blog Entry with you. I wanted to post some photos of graffiti recently spraypainted on an elderly couple's garage, because I thought it would be entertaining and crime-fighting all at once. Unfortunately, I've had limited mobility for the last few days and haven't made it to their end of the neighborhood.
Basically, one wall read "Ninjas of One!" and the other played canvas to a giant, top-heavy penis. The latter looks especially lovely next to the stained-glass angel hanging in a window. I still don't know if the homeowners are aware of this recent burst of artistic tomfoolery, but I do know the city has arrested about five hooligans in connection with this latest rash of no-talent vandalism.
Speaking of tomfoolery, there was another incident of domestic violence across the street earlier this week. This time it involved vigorous shouting, slap-fighting, and chair-throwing between siblings and Dad on the deck, in full view of the general public. Months our new neighbors have lived in their home: three. Visits by the police in that timeframe: five.
Can I move now?
On a brighter note, last night I saw the cutest animal ever invented. A baby miniature pony. Seriously, it was so cute that tears actually welled in my eyes. I am still upset we didn't have our camera with us.
And finally: 100 second-shifters at a cheese factory near my parents' place recently won the $208 million Powerball jackpot. I love this! But I do feel for the first-shifters that weren't in on the pool. (Including the parent of one of my childhood friends.) To dish how you would spend your lotto winnings, visit Eileen Cook's site.
Now, I'm off to nurse my angst-iety by looking at more photos of cute miniature ponies online.

Oh my god what an amazing lottery story and I love the twee pony. I could keep it in my house.
Good luck with the editor situation. I know it must be totally nerve wracking for you.
PS I hope your ankle feels better soon. I once sprained mine jumping into the fountain at the Fernbank Natural History Museum in Atlanta.Oh my gosh, I'd be freaking out too. If I had an Editor. Or a book deal. Which I don't. Yet. (sticking out tongue at you) Seriously though...I can only imagine how stressful that must be. Best of luck whatever the outcome. I'm seriously dying to read that book.
Sorry about the ankle too. I once sprained mine falling off of my platform Keds. Yeah. I've got grace to spare. Stay off of it! I can tell you from experience that the more you try to hobble around on it, the longer it will take to heal. I bet it's a lovely shade(s) of purple. ;?)Everything will be fine with Larry! He will live to share his kidney and his story!!!!
Can you come out and play with me and Swish Sept 16? Pleeeeeeasse huh canya, huh, pleeeeease! Say yes, come on, we need to get together and play and have some fun and drink some martinis as big as our heads! (I was gonna say as big as my ass, but then we'd be totally, totally wasted then!!!
xoYikers! I'd be freaked, too.
But I'm sure it's all gonna work out. You're just too damn close for it not to.
Oh, and sorry to hear about the ankle-- though I had to laugh at the cause.
Almost as bad as my "frisbee" accident years ago. While attempting to play frisbee (I've never been able to master the proper flick of the wrist), I had to stop for a pee break. Instead of climbing the two short flights of stairs leading to the restrooms, I opted to trot up the handicap ramp.
I slipped.
On the handicap ramp.
Tore a muscle fiber in my right calf. Spent several weeks on crutches, and then nearly a month after that hobbling about on a cane...
I was 26 at the time.I can feel your anxiety over the editor jumping publishing houses. Hopefully, it will all work out in your favor. I like to be fatalistic about things and pretend that everything happens for a reason - a good one. So, that's what I'm hoping for this big change. Keep cool - it'll all be fine......
Hi from Milwaukee, the drunkest city in the U.S. (Yay for us!...I think.)Jess, I'm sending you positive vibes for the transition of your editor over to Random...
On another note, I am DYING with laughter over the "top-heavy penis" being spray-painted right next to an angel hanging in the window!!! good lord...and those other neighbors??? Can I come visit for a while and just hang out with you watching them? Well, at least I get to read about them here, the 2nd best thing! :)I'm sending you lots of invisible platitudes. And platypuses (also called platypi). I noticed them when I checked my spelling of platitude and I thought that they were almost as cute as the miniature pony.
Seriously, I'm sure it will all turn out all right. (Shoot, no matter how sincere I feel, it looks platitudinous.)Oh God I had heart palpatations just thinking about your editor story. Is there no end to the publishing rollercoaster? Keep us posted.
ooh sorry about the ankle. If it makes you feel better I broke a finger when I fell over an atom sized piece of stone. I swear- I just went down and snapped the pinky. You don't look very tough with a wrapped pinky.
Lastly- thanks for the link!Hi Jess,
I saw your comment over at Izzy's site about men doing housework being sexy. That's exactly the same type of comment left by several readers of this article over at To Love, Honor and Dismay. I thought you might enjoy it.
Have a great one!
AndrewBoy, that Andrew guy -- he gets around.
Sorry to hear about the stress surrounding your book. (Well, not that the book caused the stress...) Anyway, I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
I do want to know what that dog is about to do to the miniature pony. Looks like he kind of thinks it might be lunch.Could be worse, hon. You could have NO agent, NO editor and NO miniature ponies to get teary-eyed over!
And if it makes you feel even better, I was a competitive rock climber for 10 years, and what scars on my arms do people constantly ask about? The ones from when I climbed a thin face crack on a route that took 3 days to complete? If only. No one even NOTICES those. Instead, people ask about the gaping scars made by a wayward palo verde tree in my front yard. Sigh.
Sounds like life is good for you...even if it is a little unsettled.
Best to you!

Detroit Pistons rookie Kravtsov makes most of opportunity
AUBURN HILLS — Pistons coach Lawrence Frank's philosophy when it comes to injuries is simple: "Next man up."
When Andre Drummond went down with a back injury, the next man up was rookie Viacheslav Kravtsov.
Due to matchup problems, the 6-foot-11 Kravtsov didn't get much playing time in the first few games Drummond was out, but got his big chance Wednesday and responded.
In a career-high 14 minutes, Kravtsov had four points on 2 for 2 shooting, one rebound, two steals and one block.
"I loved his confidence in there, his approach," Frank said. "He was really, really solid. I thought really good within the game. Just his post defense, his ability to hold his ground. We saw it against Brook Lopez and Brooklyn. Against those bigger, stronger guys, the one time he was guarding (Kevin) Seraphin on the block. I thought he was very, very good in both halves."
Kravtsov's defense was key to start the fourth quarter Wednesday. The Pistons held the Wizards to two points in nearly the first six minutes of the quarter and went from trailing by five to up six.
"I thought he was instrumental because we held them to two points in terms of the first six minutes," Frank said. "I thought Slava, his paint protection, he was great. Played great post 'D' plus the one time he's guarding (Bradley) Beal off a step-up pick-and-roll, Beal takes a contested step-back jumper.
"His size, even though you look at it and he had maybe one rebound, just his length, his energy, his screens for Will (Bynum), getting Will open on the pick-and-rolls. Will rewarding him with the lob."
The 25-year-old rookie from the Ukraine is also popular with his teammates, who enjoy seeing him succeed.
"He's big out there," Bynum said. "He's a force in the paint. Whenever he's playing defensively like that, you want to get him something easy and that's what I was trying to do. Continued...
"I been talking to him in the Ukrainian language about the lob, trying to get him to be the new Andre Drummond while he's out," Bynum said with a smile. "I been talking to him, trying to get him to understand. He's catching on, the more and more he play, he's going to get better and better."
Bynum knows adjusting to the style of play in the NBA has been tough for Kravtsov, but he expects the rookie to keep improving.
"He knows what he's doing out there, it's still basketball," Bynum said. "You gotta get used to the pace, the pace is different from Europe to the NBA. Guys are more athletic, different reads, different coverages. It's different, but he's doing a great job. He's working on it after practice. Roy Rogers is doing a great job working with him. He's going to continue to get better and better."
Detroit now heads to the All-Star break with a 21-33 record.
The Pistons don't play again until Tuesday when they host the Memphis Grizzlies in Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye's first game back at The Palace since being traded.
Brandon Knight will be the only Pistons' player taking part in the All-Star festivities this weekend. Knight will play in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge Friday and will compete in the Skill Challenge on All-Star Saturday night.
Drummond was scheduled to play in the Rising Stars Challenge, but will have to sit out due to his injury.

Drove around it for 30 min because it's signs still say Ramada. Found it when we finally stopped to ask them where the Magnuson was. Hotel was beautiful... once upon a time, but was let run down badly. Our room was wonderful, clean and fully supplied with everything you could need. Bed was great. But, pool was green, restaurant was long closed, and back doors to main entrance were locked so you had to walk or drive all the way around to get to the front desk. Landscape and exterior was in sad shape. Too bad, so sad. Still, would recommend. Quiet and good room is all that's needed for overnite, and that we got. :) podľa Peg & Jer, (Denver), dňa 11/04/2013

BMW i. Latest News.
BMW i. App.
Users can explore the new BMW i App to find out if the brand's vision can better their own. The mobile application tracks urban driving experiences to discover which BMW i vehicle best suits their urban needs.
The heart of the app is the "Born Electric Analyzer", a tool that connects the user's journey through the city to a BMW i electric vehicle. iPhone and Android tracking capabilities allow users to trace their path through the city and pause to check mileage, gas usage and other key driving statistics. The final results of the "Born Electric Analyzer" offer an in-depth look at the journey and a recommendation for the driver's ideal BMW i vehicle.
Alternatively, users can engage with a simulated journey planner and experience the benefits of BMW i solutions from home. Entering start- and endpoints results in a BMW i3 or BMW i8 recommendation, depending on the needs of the user.
Car fans can explore both models, swiping through detailed interior and exterior views of the vehicles. Those looking for mobile solutions such as car sharing or parking will find a host of options to explore: rich video and image material provide a comprehensive look at the different offers.
How it works:
BMW i Brand Store in London.
The BMW Group presented its first BMW i Store worldwide in London, unveiling a showroom that offers a completely new brand experience focused on sustainable mobility.
Alongside the presentation of the BMW i3 Concept with a new interior colour and materials concept, the "360° ELECTRIC" mobility product and service package was introduced to the public.
BMW i vehicles make their North American premiere.
At the 2011 LA Auto Show, the BMW i3 and BMW i8 Concept vehicles were unveiled. A dazzling reveal and progressive vehicles set BMW i apart from all other car manufacturers. Step inside each vehicle and watch what it means to be Born Electric.
BMW i Makes its Big Screen Debut.
European premiere of "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" at BMW Welt in Munich on December 9th 2011 welcomes Tom Cruise and co-stars to the red carpet. The BMW i8 Concept is successor to the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Car which appears alongside many other BMW models in the recently released film.
With its ultra-modern architecture, BMW Welt played perfect host to the blockbuster event, which brought the film's star together with actress Paula Patton, producer Bryan Burk and Academy Award-winning producer Brad Bird.
In the film, Cruise can be seen driving the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics — whose successor, the BMW i8, will be ready for series production by 2014. Thanks to the fascinating sports car's wide range of technical features, Cruise's character Ethan Hunt is able to steer smartly, safely — and of course swiftly — through the city of Mumbai's notorious traffic.
"Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" opened in cinemas worldwide December 15th.
Leipzig: The Future Mobility Plant.
The first production centre for electro-mobility in Germany is a BMW plant: Our site in Leipzig. Around €400 million will have been invested in the production of the BMW i3 by 2013. The expansion of the plant will create approximately 800 jobs.
The expansion of the high-tech plant in Leipzig into a production centre for electro-mobility has started in March 2011. In a first step, the building which will house the construction of CFRP components, will be built. Body parts made out of the extremely light and strong material will be formed here.
In a next step, another building for the production of plastic parts and later on in the year, two further production halls will be constructed. In these new halls, the bodies of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 will be put together, fitted out and then attached to the drive module. The first vehicles should roll off of the production line in these new buildings in 2013.
Update: On October 26th 2011, the official topping out ceremony took place at the BMW plant Leipzig - exactly within the time plan. The celebration was attended by Saxony's Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich and the Mayor of Leipzig, Burkhard Jung. From 2013 on, the BMW i3 and a year later also the BMW i8 will be produced in this modern, highly efficient plant that will be powered by four wind turbines on-site.
BMW Plant Landshut: Ready for Carbon Fibre Production.
The BMW Landshut Plant begins carbon parts production for car of the future - the new CFRP Innovation and Production Centre with 100 new employees and record-level energy conservation.
The BMW production site for carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastics (CFRP) was inaugurated on March 2nd 2012. The new CFRP Innovation and Production Centre at the BMW Plant in Landshut, Germany will produce ultra-lightweight carbon parts that will compose about one third of body components for BMW i models, with production beginning in 2013.
"In carbon we see a meaningful high-tech material of the future," explains Dr. Herbert Diess, member of the BMW AG board for the Purchasing and Supplier Network. "We believe in this material — and we are trailblazers in this field."
The new production site was completed only eight months after the ground-breaking ceremony in July of 2010 and sets an ecological standard with its significant reduction in primary energy use, with energy consumption 25% below legal regulations.
The new site will also produce an additional 100 jobs in CFRP production. The BMW Plant in Landshut employs a total of approximately 3,000 workers and for more than 10 years has been an expert in carbon.
BMW i and Bridgestone.
Creating a unique tire for a unique vehicle.
When the BMW i concept was introduced to Bridgestone, it was immediately clear that it would require a unique tire design to deliver the expected performance targets.
BMW i vehicles have unique technical characteristics such as light weight and a balanced weight distribution that require consideration in the tire design.
The Launch of BMW i.
BMW i, the new BMW sub-brand focused on developing sustainable mobility solutions was launched on Monday, February 21, 2011. BMW AG Board members Ian Robertson, responsible for Sales and Marketing, and Dr. Klaus Draeger, responsible for Development, celebrated the launch at the BMW Welt in Munich.
"BMW i represents a new movement in premium mobility. With the introduction of this new sub-brand, the BMW Group reaffirms its leadership as the most innovative and sustainable premium car company", Ian Robertson explained during the press conference, "Its products and services have been conceived around a revolutionary approach: purpose designed and purpose built for sustainable, premium mobility. It's a new day in our industry; a new era for individual mobility. This is BMW i – Born Electric", he said.
BMW i will launch with two vehicles. The fully electric BMW i3 – formerly known as the MegaCity Vehicle, and the BMW i8, a plug-in hybrid vehicle which provides both the efficiency of an electric vehicle, with unbeatable fuel efficiency and sports car performance.
"Both cars have been designed specifically for their respective alternative drive systems. We used the innovative architecture and CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) to cancel out practically all of the extra weight added by the batteries. For our customers this means superior driving dynamics combined with significantly increased range using electric power," explained Dr. Klaus Draeger. It was announced that, like the BMW i3, the BMW i8 will also be manufactured at the BMW plant in Leipzig.
BMW i encompasses a raft of developments. "Mobility requirements are changing in rapidly expanding megacities" Ian Robertson stated. "Our commitment to car-enabled mobility services, like BMW ConnectedDrive, will be significantly expanded under BMW i. We'll also grow our car-related premium mobility services. What's truly groundbreaking is that we'll begin offering car-independent premium mobility services. BMW i aims to provide customized mobility solutions across a seamless network of premium products and premium services."
To achieve this, a Venture Capital company was founded in New York City, BMW i Ventures. BMW i Ventures aims to invest in, and build long-term partnerships with projects which have high potential in the field of mobility services. Ian Robertson announced MyCityWay as the first strategic partnership: "As a mobile app, MyCityWay provides users with information on public transportation, parking availability, and local entertainment for over 40 cities in the US. Another 40 cities will be part of the global rollout, including Munich, of course."

(ARA) - In the current tough job market, it's understandable that you might be tempted to take just any position. However, there are numerous factors to take into consideration when deciding to work at a company. If you look beyond the usual set of parameters, you may find yourself far happier and more secure in your new position once you arrive.
The first factor to take into account would be can you fulfill the skill set required? Do you have the education and experience necessary to perform the job?
Next, most would look at compensation. Is the salary fair and in line for the position? Are there bonuses paid in addition to salary (which should be taken into account in computing the overall potential salary)? What type of benefits package is offered? Does it include decent medical and dental insurance?
That is where most jobseekers would stop. But if you take the time to examine a few more characteristics of the company beyond just the factors of the requisite skills, the compensation and benefits, you improve your chances of being satisfied in your new position. It is these types of characteristics that placed David Lerner Associates on a list of best places to work in the state of New York - and it is well worth using them to evaluate any company at which you are seeking employment.
The first additional point to observe is company morale. Many companies will offer a prospective employee a tour of the offices - or at the very least, walk you through on your way to the interview. Take the time to actually look at the employees - do they look happy? Are they lively and communicating? Or, are they serious, formal and quiet? Their demeanor will give you an idea of the atmosphere that is encouraged around the office. One which is warm and encourages communication will probably be a happier place to work.
If it is possible, talk to one or more of the employees at the company. Find out how they feel about how management treats them. The most important question here is: Are the employees valued by management? While management may say they value the employees, the real tale is told in how the employees actually feel. Are they actually appreciated, and do they know it?
Another way to find out how the company values its employees is to ask what would happen if an employee - who, it would be assumed, is doing a good job - had a personal crisis, such as an ill relative or a sudden illness. Does the company treat their employees like humans with real lives or as a commodity to be cast off in times of crisis? If an employee is doing a great job for the employer, that employee should be valued beyond just the number of sick days or days off the person has earned. It is well worth the employer's while to value the employee enough to see him or her through the crisis with their job intact.
Using guidelines such as these, you can seek a job in which you will not only be financially secure, but secure and happy as a person as well. It can make all the difference in the world when it comes to a career.

At least in theory, malaria and various other vector-borne or communicable diseases are among the easiest to contain.
For one thing, they are curable and ways to treat them have long been identified. Additionally, even the least effort to improve outdoor and indoor environmental hygiene can work miracles in arresting their spread and therefore minimising the havoc they can wreak on public health.
Decades of national and international strategies and initiatives meant to make these diseases history have all but failed to make Tanzanians safe enough for reasonably long periods.
For instance, malaria remains so endemic in the coastal zone and along the shores of major water bodies such as lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa and major rivers including Rufiji and Ruvu that it is often taken for granted.
In parts of the Lake Victoria shoreline, mosquitoes are in such overwhelming abundance that the common belief is that residents of those areas have developed natural immunity to diseases like malaria.
True, relative to the size of the population, few of those people are usually so down with the diseases as to become bed-ridden and seek medical attention. This obtains while many first-time visitors would not last a day without having serious problems with malaria, etc.
Strangely, campaigns aimed at exterminating the vectors spreading the diseases are seldom taken seriously. Indeed, there was time when insecticides meant to improve public health or boost crop production were commonly went to completely irrelevant purposes, including poison-aided fishing.
That is for rural areas, and we are not suggesting that the problem is that rampant or universal. Yet even urban areas are far from spared the "curse" of recklessness when it comes to efforts to keep at bay or to the barest minimum communicable diseases spread by insects or some other vectors.
Dar es Salaam is a typical case of a series of costly efforts to contain malaria having come to naught chiefly because the resources needed abounded but the implementation stage was hopelessly punctured. As a result, the disease has stubbornly and successfully resisted most efforts aimed at dealing it a death blow.
Yes, some of the initiatives involved scores of local and foreign experts and massive amounts of money, but hardly any really sought to kill off the mosquitoes known to spread the killer disease.
The fact that we now have it on good authority that the Tanzanian market is flooded with fake or substandard malaria drugs only helps to complicate matters. This is just as does the rampant misuse of these drugs, whether deliberate or due to ignorance, forms of the practice including what medical experts call retrenchment – that is, the premature discontinuation of the taking of prescribed drugs.
Thus, greater public awareness on the importance of using appropriate medical drugs and only as recommended by medical experts is a must if society is to be spared the consequences of failure to do so.
But just as important is ensuring that it is impossible for mosquitoes, bedbugs, lice, cockroaches, houseflies and other insects or pests to survive, much less thrive, in our immediate surroundings. We need to act – NOW.

WEST SIDE RECORDER Volume 7—Number 9 Monthly Newspaper of the West Side, Denver, Colorado January, 1971 Citizens Continue Efforts For Respectable Broadway On the 14th of January there was the second meeting of the Concerned Citizens South of Sixth Avenue. The group of about 75 people heard and asked questions of Councilman Edward Burke and Deputy District Attorney Alan Dill.. A petition stating the objection of the community to the 16 mm Art 16 theater was started. Mr. Dill said that beside a possible legal use of the petition, it was effective encouragement to the DA's office in a difficult legal fight a- gainst the business of pornography (which was estimated to make $5 million last year in Denver alone). Copies of the petition are being distributed throughout the corn- Back Row — Margarita Soto, Jose Maria Perea, and Josefina Perez. Middle Row — Mary Quintana, Jennie Patterson, Mary Aguirre, Donna I^artinez, Dorothy Aguirre, Virginia Martinez, Janice Trujilio, and Regina Scott. Front Row — Sortie of the children attending the day care center. Good Child Care Now Available for West Siders Trying to find someone to take care of your children who will give them understanding and love plus the basics of good meals, snacks, naps and guidance in learning was never easy—UNTIL NOW. Metropolitan Denver Child Care Association, (MDCCA), of the Denver Model Cities Program, has started a child care program for West Side families who need someone to take care of their children while they work, go to school or attend job training. At St. Cajetan's A child care center is at Saint Cajetan's school, 802 Lawrence, to take care of children trom 2Vfe years of age to 6 years for up to ten hours a day. The center is open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. If the center is too far from your home, MDCCA has hired licensed babysitters to care for children in their homes. These licensed homes are all over the West Side and there is bound to be one near you if your children need someone to take care of them all day or before or after school. Many times it is better for women to take care of the children at the children's home. If this is the case every attempt will be made to place someone in the homes of the children. Cost Is Little Or Nothing As part of the model Cities Program the West Side child care center and home programs are for families whose incomes are somewhat low or who need child care because of special needs. In fact 90 percent of the families are not paying anything for child care either in the center or in the homes. This program was designed for families who need child care but who cannot get it too easily for one reason or another. ,Caring for and teaching in the center and many of the homes is done both in Spanish and English. People working in the center are: Margaret Soto, Director; Janice Trujillo and Regina Scott, Teachers; Mary Aguirre, Teachers Assistant; Donna Martinez, Teachers Assis- t a n t; Virginia Martinez, Teachers Aide; Jennie Patterson, Teachers Aide; Mary Quintana, Teachers Aide. How To Get Child Care All that is needed to get child care is to call Jose Perea or Josephine Perez at 893-3197 or 355-1618. They will see you immediately and bring the necessary forms to you. If you think you would like to get a job or go to school since it's so easy now to get a responsible babysitter for little or no cost, just call these numbers 893-3197 or 355-1618. CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THIS ISSUE OF THE WEST SIDE RECORDER (BASIC COST $700) American Lutheran Churches $200 Catholic Archdiocese 200 Colorado Printers ...... 10 Engineering Drafting School 10 Germaine Aragon Family & Friends .... 10 First Bethany Lutheran Church .... 10 First Mennonite Church 10 Inner City Parish 10 St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church .... 10 St. John's Lutheran Church 10 St. Joseph's Catholic Church 10 Wesley United Methodist Church .. 10 West Side Coalition .... 10 Under $5.00— William Wheeler Alfonso Olguin CRUSADE SCHOOL RECEIVES GIFT BENEFIT DANCE FOR LADS The West Side Coalition will sponsor a Benefit Dance for the Latin American Development Society (LADS) on February 13, 1971. The dance will be held at the Annunciation Gymnasium, 35th and Lafayette, from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The price of ,the tickets is $5.00 a couple which Includes free beer, door prizes, and dancing to the Ding- A-Lings. Tickets can be purchased at any of the following locatons: Operation SER, 1039 Inca; West Side Coalition, 910 Galapago; Avondale Gift Shop, 3234 West Colfax; or Mi-T-Mart, 2201 Oneida. LADS is a Chicano self-help group at Canon City which was started by 35 charter members to achieve such goals as further ing communications, education, and human relations for a better way of life; overcoming any inferiority complexes in themselves, and in others of Mexican American nationality; developing potentialities lying dormant within themselves; and utilizing their skills to help themselves and our people lead more prosperous, useful, and satisfying lives. All proceeds from the dance will go to LADS at Canon City so they can continue to operate their self-help projects. Let's support a worthy cause by giving LADS moral and financial support which they deserve. Remember, February 13th, Annunciation Gym, 13th and La fayette, 9:00 p.m. munity, especially in churches. Individuals who believe such theaters do not belong in the community, are encouraged to sign. Another attack on the 16 mm theaters can be mounted by citizens writing to their state representative and asking for a stronger pornography law. Also discussed, but put off until the next meeting was the possibility of picketing. It was suggested by one citizen that it is equally important for the community to support the businesses that are in the neighborhood. If these businesses are strong then the 16mm theaters will be isolated and will not be able to lead to community decay. The other subject discussed at the meeting was crime. The problem of the senior citizen cashing checks and being robbed on the way home is one of great concern. Mr. Doug Goebel of the National City Bank volunteered to look into any assistance the banks can give to solve this problem. More on this and on crime will be discussed at the next meeting. The date of the next meeting will be February 16, a Tuesday, at St. John's Lutheran Church at 3rd and Acoma. The time will again be 7 p.m. Speakers for that meeting have not yet been determined. Gary Garrison, first grader at TLATELOCO School, receives check from Tim Correa of UMAS. TLATELOCO, the school run by and at the Crusade for Justice received a check for $3,200 from the Committee of Concerned Chicanos. The CCC represents about 50 Chicano organizations in Denver. They made $9,000 on the NOSOTROS program that they sponsored in December. NOSOTROS is a Hollywood organization of Chicano actors and actresses. Henry Darrow-Delgado, Carmen, and Richard Montalban came from Hollywood for this program. Other donations will be going to the UMAS students at the Denver Center, University of Colorado, and other worthy and needy Chicano groups. Mrs. Josephine Garcia, principal of TLATELOCO, the free Crusade school, said that the money they received would go for books, lunches, and band expenses. Elmwood Group Still Working On New School Plans For the past few months, after the Board of Education voted to accept the recommendations to build a new Elmwood, the members of the lay advisory committee have been meeting in order to see that we obtain a new school. We are concerned about the building, its function, and its looks. On January 20th, we met with staff members of the administration and the architects. We do not know how the building will look, but we want a Spanish architecture. We are indeed excited about the new building(s) and the Spanish style, but best of all about its function as a community school. We are recommending to the school administration an academic program which will begin with a pre-school age program for three and four year old children and a kindergarten. Also, instead of hav ing the traditional classroom situation, we'll have educational centers where instead (Continued on page 3)

'Python challenge'
draws about 800 hunters

Cpt. Jeff Fobb, from the Miami-Dade Venmon Control department, displays a python during the kick-off ceremonies in Davie, Fla., Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013. The 13-foot snake was captured a year ago swimming in a backyard swimming pool. Nearly 800 people have signed up to hunt Burmese pythons on public lands in Florida as part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's month-long "Python Challenge." Experts say the invasive species is decimating native wildlife in the Florida Everglades. For the first time, the public is joining licensed hunters in the search for the snakes. (AP Photo/J Pat Carter)
BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PRESERVE, Fla. — An armed mob set out into the Florida Everglades on Saturday to flush out a scaly invader.
It sounds like the second act of a sci-fi horror flick but, really, it's pretty much Florida's plan for dealing with an infestation of Burmese pythons that are eating their way through a fragile ecosystem.
Nearly 800 people signed up for the month-long "Python Challenge" that started Saturday afternoon. The vast majority — 749 — are members of the general public who lack the permits usually required to harvest pythons on public lands.
"We feel like anybody can get out in the Everglades and figure out how to try and find these things," said Nick Wiley, executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "It's very safe, getting out in the Everglades. People do it all the time."
Twenty-eight python permit holders also joined the hunt at several locations in the Everglades. The state is offering cash prizes to whoever brings in the longest python and whoever bags the most pythons by the time the competition ends at midnight Feb. 10.
Dozens of would-be python hunters showed up for some last-minute training in snake handling Saturday morning at the University of Florida Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center in Davie.
The training came down to common sense: Drink water, wear sunscreen, don't get bitten by anything and don't shoot anyone.
Many of the onlookers dressed in camouflage, though they probably didn't have to worry about spooking the snakes. They would have a much harder time spotting the splotchy, tan pythons in the long green grasses and woody brush of the Everglades.
"It's advantage-snake," mechanical engineer Dan Keenan concluded after slashing his way through a quarter-mile of scratchy sawgrass, dried leaves and woody overgrowth near a campsite in the Big Cypress National Preserve.
Keenan, of Merritt Island, and friend Steffani Burd of Melbourne, a statistician in computer security, holstered large knives and pistols on their hips, so they'd be ready for any python that crossed their path. The snakes can grow to more than
20 feet in length.
The most useful tool they had, though, was the key fob to their car. Burd wanted to know that they hadn't wandered too far into the wilderness, so Keenan clicked the fob until a reassuring beep from their car chirped softly through the brush.
The recommended method for killing pythons is the same for killing zombies: a gunshot to the brain, or decapitation to reduce the threat. (The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals doesn't approve of the latter method, though.)
Pythons are kind of the zombies of the Everglades, though their infestation is less deadly to humans. The snakes have no natural predators, they can eat anything in their way, they can reproduce in large numbers and they don't belong here.
Florida currently prohibits possession or sale of the pythons for use as pets, and federal law bans the importation and interstate sale of the species.
Wildlife experts say pythons are just the tip of the invasive species iceberg. Florida is home to more exotic species of amphibians and reptiles than anywhere else in the world, said John Hayes, dean of research for the University of Florida's Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Roughly 2,050 pythons have been harvested in Florida since 2000, according to the conservation commission. It's unknown exactly how many are slithering through the wetlands.
Officials hope the competition will help rid the Everglades of the invaders while raising awareness about the risks that exotic species pose to Florida's native wildlife.
Keenan and Burd emerged from the Everglades empty-handed Saturday, but they planned to return Sunday, hoping for cooler temperatures that would drive heat-seeking snakes into sunny patches along roads and levees.
Burd still deemed the hunt a success. "For me, I take back to my friends and community that there is a beautiful environment out here. It's opening the picture from just the python issue to the issue of how do we protect our environment," she said.
