I've heard a lot of complaining about filling out the Census forms, and I can't quite get a handle on why people wouldn't want to turn in this information.
The Census form includes several explainers in the paperwork quoting a federal law and reassure people that their information will not be turned over to the IRS or any form of law enforcement. So I guess people are worried about being turned over the IRS or immigration or some other law enforcement agency.
I'm not sure how realistic that fear is if there is a federal law stating they can't share that information with any other agency.
From the U.S. Census Web site:
Protecting your information
Federal law protects your information, and we have developed policies and statistical safeguards to help us follow the law and further ensure the confidentiality of your information. 1
"Your Information Is
We never identify you individually.
1. Federal Law
Title 13 of the U.S. Code protects the confidentiality of all your information. Violating this law is a crime with severe penalties.
Our Privacy Principles are guidelines that cover all of our activities. These principles encompass both our responsibilities to protect your information and your rights as a respondent. They apply to the information we collect and the statistics we publish.
Statistical methods ensure that the statistics we release do not identify individuals or businesses. These methods include extensive review and analysis of all our data products, as well as disclosure avoidance methodologies such as data suppression and modification.
We recognize the value of your trust, and we believe that when you answer our surveys we must serve as caretakers of your information. If you would like to learn more about how we fulfill this responsibility, please visit our data stewardship pages."
They do warn not to give out your Social Security number to anyone saying they are a Census worker and also warn about other scams. From the U.S. Census Web site:
'Phishing' is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, social security numbers, bank account or credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Phishing is typically carried out by email and it often directs users to enter sensitive information at a fake web site whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one.
Other Scams:
- The Census Bureau does NOT conduct the 2010 Census via the Internet
- The Census Bureau does not send emails about participating in the 2010 Census
- The Census Bureau never:
- Asks for your full social security number
- Asks for money or a donation
- Sends requests on behalf of a political party
- Requests PIN codes, passwords or similar access information for credit cards, banks or other financial accounts.
How to report scams and bogus Census web sites
If you believe you have been contacted as part of bogus or fraudulent activity falsely representing the Census Bureau:
- In Person Scam
- Check for a valid Census ID badge
- Call your regional office to verify you are in a survey
- Email Scams
- If you think it is a bogus email, do not reply or click on any links within the email.
- Do not open any attachments. Attachments may contain code that could infect your computer
- Forward the email or web site URL to the Census Bureau at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- After you forward the email to us, delete the message. You will not receive a confirmation email after forwarding the information to us. However, the Census Bureau will investigate the information and notify you of its findings.
- Mail Scams
- Contact the United States Postal Inspection Service"
I personally think it's cool to have a snapshot of our country at this point it time. You can look book at the Census reports through our history and see how our country has developed and changed. Plus don't you want the correct number of representatives and services geared toward your community's needs?
I filled out our family's Census forms last night and will be popping it in the mail today. It wasn't painful and took about five minutes. Our biggest discussion was what to list Michael's and the children's race as. (I usually fill in mixed for the kids at school but that wasn't a choice. But you can mark more than one race so that's what we did. )
So will you be filling out your Census forms? What is the worry or concern in doing so? What am I missing here?

I suppose that there is just such distrust for the government. Its crazy.
I filled it out. All it asked me was how many people live in the house, how old we are, and what is our ethnicity. I didn't feel violated by those questions.
My own mother was telling me how the census was going to ask all these personal questions and how i was supposed to not fill it out. Something about the constitution.
It just goes to show you that people are easily duped by emails.
I probably get three emails a day about political matters that are out right lies and people just spread them around.

Of course I will be filling out the form. This is the shortest census form I've ever seen — I remember one that my parents got back in 1970 — omigod, that thing was 12-16 pages, and asked all sorts of information such as how many bedrooms your house had, how many bathrooms, educational level of residents, etc., etc.
As an amateur genealogist, I have to admit, I find census forms fascinating. After 70 years, the files are opened. From a family history standpoint, it's interesting to see who lived with who, the growth of families, moving, etc., from decade to decade. Forms early in the 20th century included occupation, parents' birthplace, how long a couple had been married, etc., etc. I was frankly incredulous at how skimpy this year's census form was!
No problems with filling it out — good grief, they aren't asking anything that anyone on the internet couldn't figure out in two minutes.
March 22nd, 2010
12:18 pm
I am going to lie on it
March 22nd, 2010
12:18 pm
…DID ask those questions – so I will be telling how many people live in my house (after all, that is what the census is for, counting the population for equitable distribution purposes) and THAT IS THE LAST QUESTION I WILL ANSWER.
March 22nd, 2010
12:23 pm
Is it possible that there are different forms? If so, how is it determined who gets what? I am just curious. I received mine and it is more detailed that the one my sister got. I am going to complete it though.
March 22nd, 2010
12:26 pm
Sorry, DB…
Didn't we all get the same census?
What question specifically on the form do you not want to answer?
BTW, it took me less than three minutes to fill my form out, put it back in the envelope and seal it.
March 22nd, 2010
12:27 pm
…and he knows if you've been bad or good…
March 22nd, 2010
12:29 pm
Here are the 10 questions:
1. How many people live in the house?
2. How many additional people are currently staying in the house?
3. I this a house, apartment, or mobile home?
4. What is your telephone number?
5. What are your names?
6. What is your sex?
7. Age and Date of Birth?
8. Are you hispanic?
9. What is your race?
10. Do you live somewhere else sometimes?

…the House added to the deficit yesterday will have to apportioned somehow…and I hope you Obamanites enjoy paying higher taxes for the next 4 years on that Obamacare plan that does not kick in until the 5th year after the deal begins in 2010 or 2011 – that's right, you pay the taxes but the alleged healthcare benefits do not start until 2014 or 2015….

March 22nd, 2010
12:36 pm
As someone else has mentioned, I have been interested reading ol census information on family members in prior generations and would want my information there for future generations. Also, by not filling it out, people are only hurting themselves with how taxpayer money is later spent on your communities!
March 22nd, 2010
12:39 pm
…how is information other than how many are living in a household "helping" how taxpayer money is later spent?

"Hey, lmno…
March 22nd, 2010
12:32 pm

I wouldn't imagine that they would fill it out at all.
But this is about why would YOU not fill it out.
March 22nd, 2010
12:50 pm
…"how many live in your house", then, how many more "stay" in your house? No wonder some dialects say they "stay" somewhere rather than they "live" somewhere; I always wondered how that verbiage originated, and now I know, right from the census form!
March 22nd, 2010
12:51 pm
@Imno..That is the same form that I filled out..I had heard that some people were sent a different form, but not sure why..
March 22nd, 2010
1:12 pm
@lmno — I said I DIDN'T have a problem filling out the census. The one I was describing was from 1970.
Curious though, about college kids — technically, as dependents, their residence is with you, but they are simply boarding somewhere else temporarily. But my daughter told me that, in a dorm at her college, they all got census forms, too. Seems a little wacked — the vast majority of those kids aren't "residents" and shouldn't be counted in terms of congressional representation, to my way of thinking. Maybe they count them differently . . . ?
One of these days, I'll tell you a funny story about the 1980 census . . . :-)
March 22nd, 2010
1:15 pm
I filled mine out – and it didn't take long. I just want to know what difference my ethnicity makes. Why do they ask that question? This is supposed to be about having enough infrastructure/services for the current/future population. Why would my ethinicity matter?
March 22nd, 2010
1:15 pm
@Imno, isn't the Census required by the US Constitution? Maybe you can tell your mom that.
March 22nd, 2010
1:15 pm
most people get the short version since they are more likely to actually fill it out and the gov can get a better idea of the total population. a smaller # of more involved forms are also sent out in order to get more info for a better snapshot of the country.
March 22nd, 2010

@MOM3 – perhaps to figure out how many Spanish-language signs they are going to need in the future? :-)
March 22nd, 2010
1:18 pm
Why do they want to know my kids birthday? Why did they ask a separate question about being Hispanic. It should have been included in question #9.
March 22nd, 2010
1:19 pm
DB. college kids are of voting age and would most likely vote where they live/go to school and not in the their parents district, hence they should be counted in the district even though they are still dependents of the parents.
March 22nd, 2010
1:20 pm
there are 2 forms. the short form and the detailed form. the short form is the shortest in Census history at about 10 questions and 2 minutes long (although the official census website says it will take about 10 minutes to fill out, I guess they also think we are idiots). The long form on the other hand was mailed out to about 2.5% of households and about 70 questions. A judge can fine you up to $5000 (i think if you do not fill them out). I have no problem with filling out the short form, but I do think that the long form questions are too intrusive. I had to fill one out (and I did) the last census time around. I would not be happy to be asked to do so again. I do not have anything to hide however asking me very personal questions is out of the governments sphere of relevance IMHO.
March 22nd, 2010
1:21 pm
Okay, so the Census is meant to count the number of individuals. If this is the case, why does "race" matter? Why does gender mater? Why does the type of dwelling matter? If we are ALL supposed to be "equal" then count the number of individuals and leave it at that. Can someone provide the reason(s) for the questions regarding race, gender, etc.?
March 22nd, 2010

ASD: purely for statistical information to see how the population changes over time.
and so the right wingers have stats about how many scary brown people there are out there so they can scare/shame people into breeding more good ol white folk, like the good lord intended…
March 22nd, 2010
1:25 pm
…you can be fined by anyone for not filling out the form…if you do not return the form addressed to the "Residents at" such and such address, they just send out a PERSON taker to talk to you to get whatever info you may provide.
And, most college student DO NOT vote in the area where they go to school, unless they register to vote there – you have to have a voter registration card and most still have the one that has their parents address as their permanent address. Especially if they are out of state…
March 22nd, 2010
1:31 pm
i dont know about the college student thing. they seem to have big voter drives on campuses to get students registered and such, and the university is usually a polling place as well. it makes more sense to get students registered and voting in their school's district, since most students arent going to travel back to their parents house on a random tuesday just to vote.

I know you said you would DB. I was addressing the person that called themselves "SOrry, DB…."

Let's get this straight… the census will determine how much or OUR OWN money we will get back from the federal govt. We should be funding national security rather than bankrolling a senator's pet project in his home state!
I just don't like it when they ax me where I stay.
March 22nd, 2010
1:49 pm
What the $#@& is wrong with people. Just fill the darn thing out. What's wrong with the government knowing exactly how many people live in our country??? Some people are just so stupid and paranoid about "big brother" or whatever invading their privacy. Get over it. Those same paranoid maniacs probably walk around with the latest GPS enabled phone. Hello, the government could know where you are every second of every day, so who cares if they know you are a white male who lives in a house with 3 other people!!!
March 22nd, 2010

March 22nd, 2010
2:03 pm
I don't think it's a big deal at all to complete the survey, after all when I filled out my grocery store's savings card, I'm pretty sure I gave them my name and address…not much more than I gave the sensus and along with that info, I gave them the ability to track every purchase that I've made there for the last decade. I'm pretty sure that those "random" coupons that get spit out at me for my usual brand's competitor's product is not just a coincidence. In addition, I gave my bank and credit card company a great deal more information than the census, and the fact that marketing companies will have access to that info is pretty much implied. Maybe it's just me, but even in this day and age, I still don't think the government is a bigger boogey man than a bank and/or marketing firm.
March 22nd, 2010
2:05 pm
@becky….I bet if you have a grocery club card, they are tracking your "girl crush list" based upon the checkout aisle mags you buy!
March 22nd, 2010
2:19 pm
@Tiger..I do have a grocery club card, haven't thought of that..They won't find out much, 'cause I don't buy magazines or books at the grocery store..The only books that I buy are from yard sales and thrift stores..I refuse to pay $10-20 for a book..
March 22nd, 2010
2:24 pm
@becky….a perfectly interesting list scuttled by your frugal nature!
March 22nd, 2010
2:39 pm
Yes, I know some people ASK the question that way, but I thought they just could not speak properly. I didn't realize that those people where also too stupid to spell ASK instead of AX.
March 22nd, 2010
2:51 pm
…now you know…and I always thought you spelled it "acks" as in "let me acks you a question about where you stay…
March 22nd, 2010
2:52 pm
To ASD… As long as people continue to play the race card and claim to be part of a minority group, then race matters in the census. How else will they know what is the true minority race, which will eventually change! I would think gender would matter too for predicting future growth, as only women can reproduce.
March 22nd, 2010
2:55 pm
"Why do they want to know my kids birthday?"
The info is used to project enrollment for schools.
March 22nd, 2010
3:00 pm
@Robert Crumb….well of course nothing is as important in France as being able to say "we surrender" ;-)
March 22nd, 2010
3:12 pm
not filling it out ….none of your business…
March 22nd, 2010
3:20 pm
Why wouldn't you fill it out? You're just kicking yourself, your kids and your communities in the rear. The census is used to help different agencies decide where to build new schools and offer certain programs. If you're on the internet right now, anyone INCLUDING the government can find out lots of info about you -this is just easier and more legal!
March 22nd, 2010
3:33 pm
…but the "school enrollment projection" does not fly – just ask the parents of the kids in elementary schools how many other kids they have coming along for that – plus, with Dekalb County and others CLOSING as many as 4 – 12 schools, that really makes this suggestion somewhat ludicrous.
I can understand the need for a "population count"; however, the rest is just superfluous crap that is not totally necessary.
And, as someone said earlier, if the info is already online, why not just use that?
March 22nd, 2010
4:02 pm
I don't understand the big brother fear either. Quite frankly if the governement ever spent money integrating the right systems, they would know all of this info without mailing a single form out. As much as we don't want the government to cross reference with the IRS, all that info is accessible by the governement so why not use it as a cross reference with the postal services databases of all the addresses in existence and then ONLY survey those who didn't file taxes?
Further, if we can e-file our taxes, why not allow an e-file of the census form so they can just follow up via mail and in person with those who don't respond? Oh I forget, it's so we can help keep our postal workers employed!
March 22nd, 2010
4:08 pm
I get tired of putting forth effort to help the government when they seem to never return the effort for my issues.
March 22nd, 2010
4:17 pm
@Jeff….that leads to an interesting question.
Who is responsible for a country full of apathy?
Are the people's apathy (we haven't had greater than 57% presidential and 47% congressional voter turnout since 1968) to blame for the government not representing them because we don't collectively hold them accountable…or is the government representatives fault for convincing the public that their votes don't matter that is responsible for the citizen's apathy?

Failure should be respected for those trying to accomplish something
Failure tends to lead to some of the greatest discoveries and advancements. Failure now tends to be fail blogs, epic fail, etc. And yet some of the best advancements came from repeated failure. Thomas Edison tried for years before finally perfecting the lightbulb.
When did failure become this huge shameful thing that we want to hide? Even great people like Abraham Lincoln couldn't run a supply store, and yet he became the President of the United States. People don't like to fail because everyone wants to succeed on their first try, but that is seldom the case. Failing teaches us resiliency, and gives us strength.

Oct 17 2012: Despite the "stigma" attached to sharing personal and professional failures I think people should more openly share them. Sure there are socially acceptable limits to how much we should do this but helping others avoid the pitfalls is rewarding, often educational for all concerned and tends to define and strengthen the purpose and outcome of an endeavour. Sharing failure also seems to get easier with time and I've noticed even those who might laugh or show distain seem to avoid making the same mistakes I did.
Oct 17 2012: If we don't pay attention, history is doomed to repeat itself. As part of that if we don't share with others in ways that we came up short in certain areas, or friends, families, or communities could be impacted by that. Not that we should shout our failures from rooftops, but I believe that failure shouldn't be something you should be ashamed of, it's something that we can learn from individually, and something that others can learn from.

DORCHESTER CO., Md. - One of the most fearless women in history, who risked her life to lead slaves to freedom, is now being honored.
On Wednesday, area leaders and residents made their way to Dorchester County to celebrate the establishment of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument. One of Tubman's descendants was there, and shares her appreciation with WMDT, but she admits much more work still needs to be done.
"Ask them to please pass Bill 247 so we can create two national historical parks. One here in Maryland and one in New York, that way we can tell her story from the beginning to the end," said Patricia Ross-Hawkins, a descendant Of Harriet Tubman.
The Secretary of the Interior, who was also at this event, tells WMDT he believes this monument will also spur tourism numbers also creating two to three million jobs over time.

We have two blogs. The Six Disciplines blog is packed with business ideas. The second blog is Gary Harpst's personal blog about his journey of attempting to integrate biblical principles with business. Feel free to enjoy either or both!
To achieve strategic objectives, your organization must develop short-term measurable objectives that logically relate to the company's strategy, as well as a plan for how your organization plans to compete: how you will be different from your competition.
The above statistics paint a vivid picture of how elusive passion can be in careers.
Here are some more observations about dream jobs:
BOTTOMLINE: Stop "dreaming" - start doing. Take stock in yourself, identify your core skills, research the market - and go back to your passion.
Top-performing organizations rate not just a little better in these five areas -- but at least 100% better. This whitepaper looks at the results of the research, and identifies five factors that the top 25% of all high-performing organizations have in common.
More often than not, however, it's not that the strategic plans fail - it's theexecution that fails.
Here are some common reasons how or why execution falls short of the strategic plan:
BOTTOMLINE: Failure to execute (following the plan) is the primary reason why strategic plans fail.
"The Keys to Strategy Execution: A Global Study of Current Trends and Future Possibilities", was a research study commissioned by the American Management Association and conducted by the Human Resource Institute.
The research identified the leading obstacles that hinder strategy execution and what companies can do to overcome them.
The following is a quick review of some of the main findings:
Because making the plan work is even bigger challenge than creating the plan: Making strategy work is more difficult than the task of strategy making.
Execution is critical to success. Execution represents a disciplined process that enables an organization to take a strategy and make it work. Without a careful, planned approach to execution, strategic goals cannot be attained.
Developing such a logical approach, however, represents a tremendous challenge - particularly to leaders of growing organizations.
Here are the key take-aways:
The continual problem?
Much more is known about planning than doing, about strategy-making than making strategy work. And business leaders still don't seem to understand a great deal about the execution of strategy.
The obvious questions?
BOTTOMLINE: Hiring right (from position description, to sourcing, to interviewing, to selection, to assessment, to hiring, to orientation, to development, to succession planning) - are all keys to building the right team. Done properly and repeatedly, the organization thrives. Ignore it, and the organization is doomed to failure.
BOTTOMLINE: As Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, "Plans are nothing; planning is everything." He wasn't actually saying that plans are worthless, of course. So what did the war hero and former President mean?
It's the process of planning that is most important: where you consider opportunities and challenges and ways to meet them.
Are you hoping for the best? Well, hope - is not a strategy.
Do any of these sound familiar? How about all of them? You aren't alone. Every client we talk to has one or more (and sometimes, all) of these challenges.
It's time you looked into Six Disciplines....
So, what are the Six Disciplines?
If you're evaluating far more opportunities than your team can realistically handle, it's time to do a serious screening of those initiatives.
According to Robert W. Bradford, President/CEO of the Center for Simplified Strategic Planning, your organization should only take on between 3 - 10 strategic opportunities, depending on the size, breadth of your team and its resources. (We've found the fewer, the better.)
Bradford recommends a senior team exercise in which you simply ask the team to rate each opportunity on two dimensions – resource requirements and strategic impact on the organization.
"Why is strategy execution so difficult? …Let's look at managing change. It should be hard: success means growth, growth means change, and change means uncharted territory. If these more obvious changes aren't enough, every individual in your organization is growing and changing, too. Also the industry and your competitors are growing and changing—and you can't afford to be left behind. "Without change," warns C. William Pollard, Chairman of The ServiceMaster Company, "there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable."
But, in the midst of all this change, how do you keep everyone on the same page? (My family of five can't even agree where to go for dinner!) When we consider each business individually, we might conclude that the obstacles to executing strategy aren't just complex, they are downright daunting."

Westerfeld, Scott.
Teen Fiction WESTERF
Summary: "This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves."--Shay nbsp; Uglies told Tally Youngblood's version of life in Uglyville and the budding rebellion against the Specials. Now comes an exciting graphic novel revealing new adventures in the Uglies world--as seen through the eyes of Shay, Tally's rebellious best friend who's not afraid to break the rules, no matter the cost. nbsp; A few months shy of her sixteenth birthday, Shay eagerly awaits her turn to become a Pretty--a rite-of-passage operation called "the Surge" that transforms ordinary Uglies into paragons of beauty.

Research Combines Internet, TV and Mobile Video
What does that mean for video advertising? More eyes, more time, more revenue? It's a possibility. While 65% of U.S. homes are getting digital cable and satellite and 35% have video-on-demand systems a small number of viewers are watching time shifted video. The cross-over between video-on-demand and online video is increasing and it appears that advertising across multiple platforms could see a large increase in the near future as well. But could the 25% with DVRs cut into those revenues by skipping the ads and only watching the shows? According to Nielsen only about 5% of total viewing is time-shifted so people appear to still be watching shows as they are offered instead of recording and watching at a later date which would allow them to skip the ads.
They also stated that of the 220 million Americans with Internet access at home or work 162 million of them were online in May. 119 million of them were watching 7.5 billion video streams in just May alone. As an added bonus for video advertisers, 36% of all mobile phone subscribers in the States have video-capable phones meaning another 91 million people have the ability to view video and video ads on the mobile platform. The 13.9 million people who are paying for a mobile video plan make up only about 6% of U.S. mobile subscribers leaving a major amount of room for growth. Of course only about 4.4 million of them are mobile video subscribers who are watching video at present on their mobile handsets but with approximately 4.4% actually viewing at present. Is the future going to be in mobile-optimized video ads?
With viewer time growing that means more ads will be seen. Even if people are time shifting some of their video they will still end up viewing ads on their other screens. Nielsen will be publishing the '3 screen' report quarterly so in a few months we should see if the trends shown in this report will continue.
For the full details and demographics on who is doing what and for how long, head over to the Nielsen website http://www.nielsen.com/pdf/3_Screen_Report_May08_FINAL.pdf

A word from Suzette's Creperie
Suzette's is a cozy French Bistro specializing in both sweet and savory crepes and hearty bistro fare. Our wine list features all French wine. Attached to the restaurant is a French-inspired boulangerie and patisserie. Everyday Afternoon Tea is served. Suzette's pleasure is to provide excellent food and wine in a comfortable atmosphere that encourages our clientele to have a relaxing dining experience. In the summer the dining room extends to an outdoor patio filled with plants, flowers and fountain. Live Jazz Friday nights is reminiscent of the Hot Jazz Clubs of Paris. Located close to Wheaton College and in the heart of Historic Downtown Wheaton , Suzette's is a destination for dining.Continued

- Service was lacking significantlyOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/19/2014Service was incredibly slow and sub par. Fondue was wonderful, french onion soup not so much. Outdoor patio was lovely with nice jazz ensemble.Special Features:
- Romantic RestaurantCrepefanDined on 9/12/2014We love this place. The food is consistently fabulous, especially the Bananas Foster. We would highly recommend it!Special Features:
- Great find!garycDined on 9/12/2014Was looking for something new and found this. It's a nice, quiet place with quaint, tasteful decor. We were greeted and seated by the owner who informed us they expect diners to relax and take their time with their meal. We were in no hurry and had no problem with that! We went with French Onion and mussells for appetizers. The soup is excellent! We'll be back just for more of that. The mussels were good, but next time I'll get the soup. Plenty of other appetizers options too, and I suspect we'll be coming back to try them. For entrees we a coffee rubbed pork tenderloin dish and beef bourguignon crepes. Both were delicious. Desserts were equally delicious. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Great spot for celebrationshungry4moreDined on 8/29/2014Celebrated my birthday in style with great food, great wine and a very comfortable atmosphere.Special Features:
- A bit expensivemelmazDined on 8/27/2014Some items were a bit expensive for what you got. It's location doesn't deem the top pricing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Suzette's is always a favorite!KatherineDined on 8/26/2014Excellent dining experience. Suzette's has it all- beyond delicious food, service and atmosphere. Best part is being able to take home pastries and a quiche from the bakery for the next day!Special Features:
- GramcrackerDined on 8/23/2014Excellent crepes. Enjoyed eating outside on the patio. Kids were treated well. Would definitely go back again.Special Features:
- Great French dining in WheatonRonBVIPDined on 8/22/2014Wonderful little local restaurant with exquisite French cooking and an all-French wine list. Every meal has been excellent. Plus good jazz music on Friday nights on the outdoor patio (doesn't interfere with conversations in the main dining area). We love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special requestsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/20/2014On Open Table you ask if there are any special requests - why ask if they are not going to be acknowledged or commented on. For four women we asked for separate checks. I have no idea how Open Table works but it was never mentioned that request could not be honored. It would have been very nice to know that going in. They were kind enough to break down the bill for us per person. Not a huge deal, just mentioning why there was no comment or reply to the request. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food Great EntertainmentJohnnyZDined on 8/16/2014The food and service are both first rate. Judy Roberts provides excellent entertainment. No rush to turn tables so your group can order, eat, drink and enjoy without being rushedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food & jazzJohnnyZDined on 8/2/2014The food is good and the service is not rushed on a busy Saturday night allowing us to enjoy both the food and the entertainment which is first rate. We'll be back and will bring our friends.Special Features:
- Great music and great foodchikatunDined on 8/1/2014It has been 2 years since I come here last time. It used to be difficult to find a talbe before, but they expanded the restaurant space and it became much eary to make a reservation. The service, food and music, everything is wonderful. I would come back more often from now on, especially in summer when they have live jazz music.Special Features:
- Good food, bar "out" of thingsOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 7/31/2014Been here often. Still a very nice dinner, good food, although prep time was longer than usual. Our bar experience was a bit disappointing. They were out of two normal bar requisites. The reason , as told, is that the bartender"Anton" was no longer there. Will return, as I'm sure they will resolve the problem. A pleasant experience nonetheless.Special Features:
- Amazing!!TonyVIPDined on 7/29/2014What a beautiful experience! Great service, ambience and food!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- eggroll2Dined on 7/26/2014This restaurant was fabulous. Loved the food, wine and entertainment. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Enjoyable DinnerswanrobVIPDined on 7/26/2014A cozy, intimate restaurant with live music from a grand piano player and a saxophonist, reasonably priced crepe menu, and good wine made for a very enjoyable evening. Plenty of free available parking either on the street or a next door free parking garage makes your visit even more enjoyable and stress free. Great for couples.Special Features:
- Romantic & JazzMikeBDined on 7/26/2014Suzette's is a great French restaurant. In the summer they have a terrific jazz combo on Sat night. Even without the jazz, the atmosphere is superb. Quite, dimly lit, cozy. Service is outstanding, as is the food, and surprisingly affordable. We made a reservation to go back while we were there. Highly recommended for a special romantic dinner.Special Features:
- mjhkDined on 7/23/2014Our small group was at Suzette's for English Tea. A lovely setting to enjoy a wonderful variety of savories and sweets and tea. A memorable experience!Special Features:
- Marvelous special site for ladiesrunnerDined on 7/23/2014I held my special 75th Birthday Party there and could not have been more happy! The food is exceptionally good, the service extraordinary (Hannah), the desserts the best we have ever had. The surroundings suggest a more gentile time for "ladies who lunch" and will be my destination as often as I can arrange.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinner at suzettesOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/17/2014our individual waitress was very nice and helpful. otherwise, the rest of the staff was almost rude. they behavied as if we were wasting their time. the restuarant was almost empty that night, so it wasn't that they were busy. the hostess didn't smile once and behaved as if it was a burden bringing us to our table. Another staff member spilled a dessert on one of our dinner party and did not apologize or bring anything to help clean it off. the food is excellent, but we felt as if we were wasting their time, and they could not wait to get us out of there. not a french dining experice - again, other than the one waitress that was very pleasant. i have dined at suzettes many times and have never been treated this badly.Special Features:
- Not As Good As Last TimeBadtasteVIPDined on 7/12/2014Had a terrific dinner here a few months back, but a recent lunch was a mixed bag. Onion soup was a good as ever, and sandwiches and beef crepe were ok. But my ham crepe wasn't fully cooked, so it arrived lukewarm and tasting of flour. And my fried shrimp beignet appetizer was a mistake, with one shrimp dark brown and the other pale tan, served in a flavorless broth that, of course, made the breading soggy and fall off. Also didn't understand why the manager stood right next to our table for an extended period to hold a loud conversation with a favorite guest. Made it impossible to hear each other in a quiet room.
- Many returnsRitzelrossDined on 7/12/2014I recently had brunch with my friend who now lives in South Carolina. We were one of first customers when Suzette's opened in the small room that is now the bakery. Have always loved it. I have been there for wedding anniversary, mother-daughter lunch, crepes with my grand daughters, Christmas tea, jazz nights. A great place for a feel,of special dining out!Special Features:
- Favorite placelovesuzettesDined on 7/10/2014This is the ultimate place for a girls time. However, I did see men there :-). This last time even a man dining by himself that just kept raving to the server how delicious his choices were. It is quaint and has a great selection of wonderful food. The portion sizes are perfect for me (my mom can never finish hers). You should try Suzette's next time you are looking for a place to connect with someone.Special Features:
- SpartyBoilerVIPDined on 7/5/20142nd time there, both for breakfast. Had the french eggs, very good, others had bannana nutella crepe which was delicious. Service was very good. Only thing I didn't like was the applewood smoked bacon. Very expensive and overcooked. Overall very quaint place. Will definetely be back to try the eggs benedictSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always the bestJunebugDined on 6/28/2014I love this place. We've never had a bad meal. The food is fabulous and the setting is such a quiet tucked away spot in downtown Wheaton that you almost forget you are in the burbs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday EveningGEEZEEVIPDined on 6/27/2014My family made reservations on Friday night and asked to sit on the patio. The patio was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the music was entertaining! We had a great time!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/27/2014Our waiter David was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Food was fantastic as usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FigcookieDined on 6/25/2014We were on vacation, went there for tea. Just delightful. Food perfect, many "seconds" offered by server and tea pot refilled generously. I also loved the room arrangement - tables with wing chairs for two guests as well as other tables for larger groups. Unfortunately, I live in another state and cannot go to Suzette's often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointedtoujoursmangerDined on 6/23/2014I am never disappointed (nor are my guests) when I visit Suzettes. Food is excellent and service is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, lovely placeDuPageDined on 6/16/2014This is a perfect choice if you want great food and you want to sit and talk with friends. Staff is very friendly and do not seat people on top of each other. Great place to have a conversation without hearing other diners. I had a crepe from the seasonal menu and my friend had salad, both were excellent. It is nice to not be rushed by staff. I'll be back.Special Features:
- Absolutely FabulousOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/15/2014Amazing find. Searched online for a place to take my stepdad for Father's Day breakfast in the area. Couldn't have been happier with choice. Had delightful meal in the garden out back of French scrambled eggs in black truffle oil and with smoked salmon and creme frâiche. Our server Rachel was excellent and had the loveliest smile. Highly recommend! Six stars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- servicebabs46VIPDined on 6/13/2014Suzettes is a great French restaurant with very good food, however it is pricey and the service is not up to par for what the food costs. Even though our waiter was very pleasant and polite, he was not knowledgeable about the menu, brought all our appetizers and salads at the same time, did not bring us clean silverware with each course. The wine stewart never came back to our table to pour more wine or to see if we liked our bottle or if we wanted more. The owner of the restaurant needs to hire experienced waiters in order to charge the prices they charge. It is a charming restaurant with great French food, but they need to train their servers better so service is in line with their prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/12/2014Food was excellent though on the pricey side. Service was not great. One person was presented with entrée before everyone else received the first salad course and people bringing food didn't know what food belonged to which diner. Seemed like service staff were summer college hires and somewhat inexperienced or kitchen was disorganized. Not what I expected for a tab that came to $150 with tip for 3 people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Parlez vous français?OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/12/2014Everything about this little spot was great except for one thing. The waitress had no idea how to pronounce the French words on the menu, such as "salad nicoise" or "trois salads" etc. In my opinion, if you choose to have French items on your menu, then either don't use their language OR at least make an effort to teach your wait staff how to correctly pronounce the words. Catering to well-educated people who can afford an authentic experience requires delivering one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for a Ladies' Lunchhungry4moreDined on 6/10/2014Would be great for a romantic dinner, but I always go here for a lunch with lady friends. Great food -- everything fresh and well prepared. The fresh berry crepe was spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit.Special Features:
- Favorite Wheaton SpotHungry1Dined on 6/9/2014My wife and I have gone to Suzette's since its earliest days on Front Street; now we take our teenaged granddaughters. Service can be a tad spotty but generally is very good. Food almost always rates a solid 4 stars. Most recent experience was lunch on the back patio, so sandwiches were the choice of the day; salads are equally intriguing -- as are crepes, quiches and, in truth, almost everything on the menu. A tad pricey, but the food is worth every penny. Go and enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchlinaRDined on 6/8/2014Alway love the brunch but it is also great for dinner.Special Features:
- OutstandingdinerDined on 6/7/2014Suzette's Creperie never ceases to amaze me with how great their dishes are. Nice portions, excellent greens, nice atmosphere, you feel like you are in France. A must for your dining list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum!GoldieDined on 6/7/2014I have been to Suzette's Creperie twice now and I loved it both times. First time, we sat in cushy upholstered chairs inside by a window. This time, we ate on the outside patio. Very nice! I had the "to die for" Eggs Benedict which were not like any others. Amazing blend of flavors. Get it or you might regret it (I think my friend did). This is a very nice place to eat in downtown Wheaton.Special Features:
- Great Time!LMG53Dined on 6/6/2014I took my niece to Suzette's for her sixteenth birthday, and it couldn't have been more special! She loved every minute of it - the decor, our table, the English tea service - thanked me over and over for finding such a great place to celebrate! Our server was attentive but didn't hover - I can't think of anything that would have made it better! The woman who seated us even took time to give us a nicer "table for two" with beautiful Queen Anne chairs by a decorative mantle. Our picture turned out great! Would highly recommend this spot to others! It was our first visit, and we'll definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Great individual efforts spurred Greenbrier High School's soccer teams to a sweep of Effingham County on Friday night.
Bay Daniel led the Lady Wolfpack with five goals in an 8-0 shutout, while Bryan Thompson paced the boys with three goals in a 4-0 triumph.
The Lady Wolfpack won their second consecutive Region 2-AAAA game and improved to 3-0 overall.
In 26 years as a high school football coach, I was fortunate to be associated with many outstanding players. I relished their achievements on and off the field. It was especially gratifying when those who went off to college earned their degrees, whether as a student-athlete or as a traditional student.
Twitter @ScottRouch
When Greenbrier and Grovetown played Wednesday night, the type of game was far different from what they had a week ago.
Greenbrier won that contest 12-0, and while the outcome was the same, the Wolfpack had to work hard to scratch out the 4-3 win.
The Wolfpack (3-0) scored single runs in the first and third innings off Grovetown (2-3) starter Garrett Haskins (0-2), staking their starter Adam Sasser to a 2-0 lead. Each time, their leadoff batter reached base, was sacrificed to second and ultimately came around to score.
Lakeside High School girls soccer head coach Nick Edmond calls Devin Haygood quiet, but her play on the field speaks volumes.
The freshman started her high school career for Lakeside with five goals in two games. She opened the season with three goals against Grovetown and followed it up with two more goals versus Aquinas.
"I get good balls to me and I take the opportunity," Haygood said.
But Edmond said there is more to her success.
Bridget Lyons is no stranger to personal achievement. She graduated from Greenbrier High in the top 5 percent of her class and was a Georgia Certificate of Merit winner. She also parlayed her incredible talent for distance running into an athletic scholarship to the University of Georgia.

Gordon Park Speedway opened its 2012 season on Saturday, just one day after a fierce storm brought high winds and dumped rain on the track. Tony Friar and the track crew repaired the damage to the car and go-kart track in time for Saturday's races.
Crate racer Gib Gibbons, who set the track qualifying record at Modoc Speedway last year, set a pole speed of 14.031 at the newly designed Gordon Park Speedway. Gibbons went on to win the Crate Late Model race.
In an early-season battle of region soccer rivals, the Greenbrier High School Wolfpack got the upper hand, sweeping the Lakeside Panthers.
Tuesday night, the Lady Wolfpack set the tone with a 5-2 triumph in the first game while the boys went home 3-0 winners.
Both the Lady Wolfpack and Lady Panthers entered the game undefeated, but it was the Lady Wolfpack who remained perfect (2-0, 1-0 Region 2-AAAA) after breaking open a 1-1 game at halftime with three goals in the first 15 minutes.
One week from today, AthElite Sports Training Academy and Peak Rehab will hold their second annual All-Area Football Combine.
Last year's event was well received by players, coaches and fans alike.
Again this year, players who earned All-Area honors from The Augusta Chronicle will be invited to participate in a combine similar to those conducted for potential NFL Draft picks each year.

Atlanta officials responded Monday to the tragic death of two police officers who were killed late Saturday night when their helicopter went down in Southwest Atlanta.
Council member C.T. Martin held back tears as he said the Atlanta Police Department last requested funding for its aging fleet of helicopters in 2001.
"Did council take it upon themselves to try to produce more money to buy new equipment, buy new helicopters?" CBS Atlanta reporter Adam Murphy asked.
"Well in my mind, I always wanted to provide that unit more money, but again that's the administration's side," Martin said.
Martin said that 11 years ago, the council approved more than $1 million to be used towards replacing one of APD's helicopters, but no other requests were made after that.
"We're not in a situation where there is a need for blame. Significant dollars were spent for refurbishment and costs to keep that helicopter flying and the officer that we lost was one of the best we had, 26 years of experience with the force," Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said.
The helicopter that crashed Saturday night, killing police officers Richard Halford and Shawn Smiley, was a Vietnam war-era chopper, built in 1967.
"With regard to why we continue to allow refurbished aircraft, it's because we listened to the people in our department. There are people in our department responsible for helicopter maintenance and they felt by spending additional dollars we could keep these aircraft flying and we listened to our pilots," Reed said.
Reed said a moratorium has been placed on the city's helicopter fleet until further notice. Georgia State Patrol is offering backup if necessary.

Portsmouth, R.I. (AP) — Police say they've found a 13-year-old girl reported missing from her home in Portsmouth.
A Portsmouth Police spokesman said early Thursday that the girl was found alive and that an Amber Alert issued for her has been canceled. He says authorities will issue a statement with additional details later in the day.
Kathryn Botelho was reported missing by her mother Wednesday morning. Police say a witness saw someone matching Botelho's description leave the family home with man. The two were seen in an older model red car.
The spokesman says an investigation is continuing with the assistance of the Rhode Island State Police and the FBI.

LONDON (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings
KPMG has been HSBC's auditor since 1991 and the bank said the change follows a competitive tender process.
Banks have come under pressure to change their auditors more frequently to keep accountants on their toes after lenders, some of whom have used the same auditor for over a century, were given a clean bill of health just before they were rescued in the 2008 financial crisis.
Britain's Competition Commission has said it plans to make it mandatory for listed companies to put out their audit work to tender every five years, although critics say it will simply lead to swapping contracts among the "Big Four" accountancy firms.
The Big Four - KPMG, PwC, Ernst & Young and Deloitte - check the books of nearly all big listed companies across the world.

SOURCE Tecogen Inc.
WALTHAM, Mass., July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN) today announced the sale of three combined heat and power (CHP) systems to a boutique hotel group in New York City. The contract, valued at $1.76 million, will include both the prepackaged CHP units as well as the turnkey installation. The systems will utilize Tecogen's premium 100 kilowatt CHP module, the InVerde 100, and will substantially reduce each hotel's energy costs and provide electricity during power failures.
The CHP units will operate in tandem with the Consolidated Edison grid, offsetting 100 kilowatts of utility energy for each InVerde module, while simultaneously supplying about twice that value of hot water for hotel operations requiring thermal energy. A unique benefit of the Tecogen's InVerde module is that the lights will stay on if the power goes out. Hotel managers will be able to maintain power to important systems such as elevators, lighting, and other services because Tecogen's InVerde units take over when grid power is lost.
"We're excited about the hotel market in Manhattan," said Robert Panora, Tecogen's President and COO. "Electricity rates in New York City are the highest in the country. Tecogen's CHP systems are the best choice for properties that need relief from high electric bills and resiliency against grid blackouts. Hotels and other businesses in New York City have to consider how vulnerable they will be if a large scale grid outage occurs or another disaster hits like Hurricane Sandy. Small, high-end hotels don't want to get caught without any amenities in a situation like that."
For the hotel application in New York, each InVerde module is estimated to save annually $69,000 to $89,000. When combined with New York State CHP incentive funds, payback for the hotel group for the three projects will be in the 2-3 year time-frame.
Each InVerde module will be equipped with Tecogen's patented emission system, Ultra, reducing the emissions of criteria pollutants (those contributing to smog) to levels commensurate with fuel cells and far lower than the existing boilers, whose operation will be supplanted by the CHP systems.
This New York City hotel project will qualify for upwards of $1800 per kW of incentives from the CHP Acceleration Program administered by NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority). Tecogen's products are the only engine-driven CHP systems to earn pre-qualified status by NYSERDA for this program. The project is fast-tracked for funding because the technology has already demonstrated real-world performance.
About Tecogen
Tecogen manufactures, installs, and maintains high efficiency, ultra-clean combined heat and power products including natural gas engine-driven cogeneration, air conditioning systems, and high-efficiency water heaters for industrial and commercial use. Tecogen has shipped more than 2,000 units, supported by an established network of engineering, sales, and service personnel across the United States.

The town is consistently rated one of the world's top ski areas by ski and travel publications, and ski-in, ski-out lodges are the norm. Experts slide around on Aspen Mountain, locals gravitate towards Aspen Highlands, beginners and freestyle park denizens end up at Buttermilk, and families love Snowmass.
Despite its winter reputation, the town is a year-round destination. Spring brings about abundant wildflowers in the alpine meadows, the Maroon Bells (one of the state's most iconic mountain views) offer excellent hiking with breathtaking views in the summer, and dense, golden aspen groves are a sight to behold in autumn.
The area also beckons mountain bikers, kayakers and rafters, and rock climbers to explore its wonders throughout the warmer months.
The town also draws travelers to its urban cultural scene, which belies small-town charm. Art aficionados rub shoulders with wine connoisseurs and concert-goers, culinary epicures and fashion mavens vie for reservations at hot-spot restaurants, and people flock from around the world to high-profile events like the FOOD & WINE Classic and the Winter X Games. And for anyone wanting to lay their head in Aspen, accommodations run from posh to economical, ensuring everyone feels welcome.

An injury accident involving a semi truck early Wednesday morning sent one driver to the hospital.
It happened around 5:30 a.m. on Interstate 475 northbound between the Salisbury exits and Airport Highway.
Police say a female truck driver was transported to the hospital by EMS, but her injuries are not life-threatening.
U.S. Route 23 northbound was shut down to one lane, causing traffic to slow as much as 8 mph, and back ups past U.S. Route 24.
Emergency crews have since cleared the wreckage, and driving speeds have returned to normal.
Additional accidents occurred Wednesday morning, causing delays in multiple areas.

With our truck finally fixed, we hit the New Brunswick road and headed for Prince Edward Island. Not that we are finished with New Brunswick, we are just going in a bit of a loop so we'll do Prince Edward Island, then Nova Scotia, then Newfoundland, then the southern coast of Nova Scotia, then the southern coast of New Brunswick. Here's a map in case you are not familiar with the Canadian Maritimes.
After crossing the impressive Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick to PEI, we set up camp at our site on Malpeque Bay and headed to the beach to enjoy the sunset. The bay has a very slow drop off and I was surprised to see people wading hundreds of feet out in the shallow water.
I made this photo of some teenagers as they were running in the water back to shore carrying their shoes. By metering the exposure for the sky, the people were rendered completely black and became silhouettes.
On any silhouette with a bright background like this, you need to watch for chromatic aberration. Say what? That is when you get a red line or a blue line right at the spot of highest contrast. Often you will get a red line on one side and a blue line on the other side of your silhouetted object. You can remove this in Photoshop using the noise filter (Filter>Noise>Reduce Noise). Leave the strength and details at 0 and move the color noise slider to 100% and that will remove the aberration.
Ahhh, such a lovely sunset. It was a sign of things to come…
Great images Anne. The colors are amazing. PEI is relatively close to us but we never seem to get there. Will have to plan a trip soon after seeing your images.

Great shots of the clouds and sunsets Anne. I'm here in Moncton visiting my family for a few days then back to Sidney, BC. I imagine you are feeling the effects of Hurricane Irene in PEI? It's pretty windy here!

Take care and have fun.

I think it's fair to say that most Americans are glad that the 16-day partial shutdown of the American government is over.
It's nothing short of ironic that a maneuver born in an effort to draw attention to the country's growing debt cost taxpayers 24 billion dollars.
At least we got something for those big bucks.
We got substantial talks on further reducing the debt. Oh wait, that didn't happen.
Well, at least we saved some money by furloughing 800,000 non-essential employees for a few weeks.
No, they are getting back pay. In fact, one report claimed that you couldn't find a tee time around Washington this past month.
Well, then there's the long term agreement on the debt ceiling; long term in this case meaning, uh..three months.
By any measuring stick the past few weeks have been an exercise in futility in Washington.
Like the Cuban missile crisis, two sides stare at each other, neither willing to push the button but neither wanting to blink first either.
It's like the classic movie scene of two men fighting in a raft that's moving swiftly toward the top of the waterfall. Just the act of fighting it out and not working together is a lose-lose situation.
If our 24 billion dollars bought anything it might be a realization among more of our leaders that the tactic of holding the government hostage helps little and burns many.
The approval rating of Congress is in single digits. Our WSEE.TV web poll shows 80 percent of voters say they will remember the shutdown come election time.
There must be a better way to discuss America's debt crisis, because frankly, we simply can't afford this one.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- The mother of a Boston teen facing charges in his younger brother's death sought help from the Department of Children and Families.
In a statement to FOX 25, the Department of Children and Families confirmed they were involved with the family at the mother's request. They said a variety of supportive services were provided and the department would continue to provide support to the family.
Family members told the Boston Herald the mother was scared of her son's behavior and she went to the DCF in tears, but they claim the department "never did anything."
"The Department offered out-of-home placement and advocated for custody, but was never granted full custody by the Court," read a DCF statement in-part. "The Department continued to provide in-home services for the family at the request of the mother."
The 14-year-old is accused of fatally shooting his brother, 9-year-old Jan Marcos Pena inside their Morton Street home on Friday morning.
A family member told FOX 25 the 9-year-old victim was home sick from school Friday. Why the 14-year-old was home remains unclear.
The mother of a student in Nunez's class at a day care center in Dorchester told FOX 25 Nunez was at work when the shooting occurred.
Police have not revealed how the teen got the gun and say they don't believe anyone at the home knew he had one until it was too late.
The teen was held on $50,000 cash bail following his arraignment Monday on charges of involuntary manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm. He is due back in court on March 3.

As the Washington Redskins kick off their final practice in Richmond Friday morning, we recap what was a successful first training camp.
It is set to begin at 10:35 a.m. By the afternoon, the Redskins will pack up, and spend the rest of the preseason in Ashburn, VA.
One of the main points of opening camp in Richmond was to re-capture part of the team's fan base in the area. Their target consists of fans that had a hard time getting up to the D.C. area, dealing with the beltway, and driving to Ashburn. In that respect, the team was definitely successful.
Total attendance for this year's training camp was more than 155,000. That's more than the entire population of Richmond. Daily attendance was more than 10,000 on average. So, there is certainly fan support.
The team itself became fans of the beautiful Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center. The facility was generally regarded as bigger and more accommodating than the Ashburn setup.
The new question, as things rap up in here in Richmond is, what can be added to the facility going forward?
There are tentative plans to add an indoor practice facility. This idea arose after crews had to use a chopper to hover over one of the fields to dry it out, following a heavy rain.
After Friday's practice, there will be a no helmet walk as the team breaks camp. General Manager Bruce Allen is scheduled to address the media as well, to wrap the three week Richmond road trip.

1170cc, 110bhp, 140mph, Insurance group
BMW has cleverly embraced the latest retro fashion, drawing on its 90 years of motorcycling experience, innovation and heritage, and the R nineT takes its inspiration from all those BMW road and race bikes of old. But the R nineT is more than just retro looks and fashion. The build quality is superb and the attention to detail impeccable. It ...
670cc, 47bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 11
An economical little work horse that can just about cut it out of town when you fancy going a little faster. Stability, comfort, cheap price and a large storage space make the NC700S a very appealing bike. Overall the NC700S is a surprisingly endearing utility bike. You'd buy it with your head…but it would soon find a place in your heart.
399cc, 60bhp, 128mph, Insurance group 10
The Honda VFR400R, or NC30 as it's commonly known, is effectively a 400cc version of the iconic VFR750R (RC30) and as such is a cheaper alternative to the RVF400R which succeeded it in 1994. It has excellent handling, still looks good and a usable engine for road and track, although it's not as quick flat out as some of the ...
1043cc, 136bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The 2010 Z1000 is the most impressive sports naked ever to roll out of Japan. It has excellent performance, handling and is super-stylish to boot. It's less intimidating and easier to ride than a fire-breathing European super naked too. Compared to something like a KTM Super Duke or Ducati Streetfighter, the Z1000 is on the heavy side, the brakes lack ...
680cc, 59bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 11
This latest version of the Honda Transalp is much improved over the last model, but to be honest that was never going to be difficult. The motor is just quick enough, should last forever, and offers a smile when the mood takes you. The new Honda Transalp's handling isn't bad, either, considering the market the motorcycle is aimed at. Looks-wise ...
599cc, 100bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 11
It's been a long time coming, but thankfully Honda has given us a new Honda CB600F Hornet for 2007. The only similarity to the old model is the name; it's an entirely new bike running the same engine as their current CBR600RR. It shares the old Honda CB600F Hornet's qualities, it's easy to ride; great handling and fun. The new ...
599cc, 95bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 12
In many ways the older Yamaha FZS600 Fazer is better than the new model; much more midrange oomph, better weather protection, more upright riding position. But it does look kinda 80s disco from some angles and it's also a bit greedy on fuel. Otherwise, teh Yamaha FZS600 Fazer is a versatile all-rounder with great brakes and a reliable motor.
749cc, 100bhp, 152mph, Insurance group 14
For many, bike journalists included, the best road bike ever built. In 1994 Honda revised an already exceptional motorcycle, giving it super-model looks while still retaining those quintessential VFR qualities of legendary reliability, consistent performance and supreme comfort. The bodywork become less angular and gained Ferrari-esque louvres on its side panels.
942cc, 96bhp, 137mph, Insurance group 15
With the KTM 950 Supermoto finally someone delivers on the supermoto promise, combining the agility, low-down woof and rugged can-do with mile-after-mile reliability, comfort and higher speeds of a top-quality road bike. It's a big capacity V-twin bad boy that, finally, really can shake its tail at sportsbikes in the twisties. Watch the KTM 990 Supermoto take on the ...
499cc, 56bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 9
One of the best value commuter/novice motorcycles around, the Honda CBF500 is a decently quick twin cylinder motorcycle that's well made, reliable and handles predictably. It does everyhting you can ask in a novice-friendly package and holds its resale value too. Compared to the Kawasaki ER-6 the Honda CBF500 perhaps looks a little bit plain, but some folk prefer less flash.
