"Fair, Please": Streetcars to the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition
January 10, 2005
During the first weeks of 1915, Pancho Villa proclaimed himself in charge of Mexico. Germany began open submarine warfare in the Atlantic as the Lusitania prepared to sail to England. California's only active volcano, Mount Lassen, was erupting—spewing ash for hours at a time.
And as bad weather pelted San Francisco, workmen toiled 'round-the-clock on the city's northern shoreline to complete preparations for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE). Initially conceived in 1904 to occur upon the completion of the Panama Canal, this event had become a celebration of the rebirth of San Francisco following the devastating Earthquake and Fire of 1906. Millions of dollars went to develop the site and to promote San Francisco as the host city. When San Francisco was selected for the Fair over New Orleans, President William Howard Taft stated, "San Francisco knows how."
The Ferry Building was the landing point for Fairgoers from the East Bay, and as far away as Sacramento. Emblazoned on the Bay-side of the Ferry Building, approaching passengers saw a huge sign: "California Welcomes the World - Panama-Pacific Exposition" with the year "1915" in lights on the building's famed tower. Photo courtesy BAERA Archives at F.M. Smith Library, Western Railway Museum.
The site
PPIE construction commenced in 1912 on 635 acres in an area called "Harbor View", extending from Van Ness Avenue almost to Fort Point. The site, later known as the Marina District, was cobbled together from a piece of the Army's Presidio, a stalled real estate development, and land reclaimed from San Francisco Bay. It was a long way from downtown hotels and other neighborhoods. To succeed in an era totally reliant on public transportation, there had to be an efficient and reliable way to move crowds of people to and from the Fair.
Newly-rebuilt Car No. 642 leads a "crush load" two-car "train" on Fillmore at Green Street. A crowd of people chose the steep walk down the steps to the Exposition rather than wait in line for the clearly overtaxed counterbalance service. Photo courtesy Bancroft Library, Jesse Brown Cook Collection.
Arnold described the existing lines' inadequate capacities to transport people to the PPIE. He stated that the only "important line" that "reasonably approaches" the Exposition site was the Polk Street line of the United Railroads with a capacity of 12,000 passengers per day. The Union Street electric line of Presidio & Ferries Railroad could carry 4,800 passengers per day, while California Cable Railroad's Hyde Cable Line and the United Railroads' Fillmore Line together only had a capacity of an additional 9,300. He noted, however, that the Polk line's terminal was a mile from the main exhibits and two miles from the sports and drill grounds.
The plan
In response, the Board of Supervisors turned to City Engineer M.M. O'Shaughnessy to provide a plan and estimate of cost of a "Municipal System of Street Railways…designed to furnish to the Panama-Pacific Exposition a fully adequate street railway service…"
While outlining several route options, O'Shaughnessy indicated that the Exposition was expected to draw as many as 8,640,000 visitors overall and stressed that, on the day of maximum attendance, a total of a quarter-million persons were expected. Many of these would arrive from points east at the Ferry Building or come from the Peninsula and points south via the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Motor vehicle alternatives
While automobiles were not considered to be a primary form of transportation, there were options to reach the Exposition, including the new competition of nickel jitneys and open-buses mounted on early truck chassis. Bus routes were to operate to the gates, and the Arnold Report warned, "If adequate street railway facilities are not available, motor buses will have to be relied upon for a considerable share of land traffic." Unfourtunately, the buses of that time were rather precarious devices of limited seating capacity.
The street railway system
Given the size of expected crowds, very limited private automobile ownership, and the state of bus development, it was clear that streetcars would be the primary means of serving the 1915 Exposition. Both Muni and URR would respond by establishing new terminals, routes and (in the case of Muni) new lines.
United Railroads lines & routes
With its strong philosophical and political support of the nascent Municipal Railway, the city had become increasingly combative with rival United Railroads over its franchise rights on city streets. In this environment, URR indicated it was unwilling to build track extensions to serve the Fair.The URR's regular 19-Polk line offered service from Ninth and Bryant via Larkin and Polk to the PPIE Van Ness Avenue Entrance. URR also adjusted the route of the 23-line (Fillmore-Valencia) from its terminal at Sacramento and Divisadero to Fillmore and Broadway, to connect with its existing counterbalance on Fillmore Hill. Four new routes on existing trackage provided service to the Fair from the Southern Pacific Depot, Mission District, Ferry and the Haight.
United Railroads did build a few feet of new trackage, in the form of a temporary loop at the north end of its 19-line, and assigned three new routes to it, augmenting the 19: the 32-Depot-Exposition, from the Southern Pacific depot via Townsend, 4th, Ellis, Hyde, O'Farrell, Larkin, Post and Polk Streets (returning via Polk, Post, Larkin, Ellis and Fourth); the 33-Mission-Exposition, from 29th and Mission via Mission, 9th Street, Larkin, Post, and Polk; and the 34 Sutter-Exposition, which ran from the Ferry Building via Market, Sutter, and Polk.
Additionally, the 35-Haight-Exposition line operated from Carl and Stanyan via Carl, Clayton, Frederick, Masonic, and Page to Fillmore, returning via Oak Street. It allowed transfer to the URR Fillmore lines 22 and 23, which in turn connected with the Fillmore Hill counterbalance line to reach the Fair. [Note that after the Fair, the numbers of these temporary lines were reassigned to newer lines.]
Muni Car No. 14 (like Car No. 1) operates southbound on Van Ness at Union, displaying a "33rd Ave Geary" destination sign, probably on opening day, Feb. 20, 1915. While the roof route boxes are empty, this destination sign is consistent with the short-lived I-line, making this a rare picture indeed. Photo courtesy of the California History Room, California State Library, Sacramento, California.
The public must have expressed some trepidation about the ominous Fillmore Hill grade. Despite installing a stronger cable and newer connecting "plows", the URR felt compelled to note in its revitalized April 1915 Transit Tidings service brochure that "[the] Fillmore Hill Line is absolutely safe." In fact, given the overview of the Exposition site from atop Fillmore Hill, the line may have also been one of the more exciting rides of the entire PPIE experience.
New municipal railway: Lines and routes
In light of O'Shaughnessy's recommendations and the fact that the URR would not be building new lines, the Board of Supervisors augmented the existing Municipal Railway Geary Street lines by approving the creation of three new Muni lines and purchasing a fourth, all with the immediate purpose of serving Fairgoers. These four lines went on to serve San Franciscans beyond World War II with streetcars, and with some changes, they still carry Muni riders, albeit with buses. During the Exposition, though, these lines sometimes served terminals different from their later ones.
San Francisco Day—November 2, 1915—brought 348,472 patrons to the PPIE, a crowd exceeded only on Closing Day. The "J" terminal had been extended on July 9, 1915 to the Scott and Chestnut Street main entrance. Photo courtesy Bancroft Library, Jesse Brown Cook Collection.
The D-Van Ness began operating on August 15, 1914, from the Ferry via Market, Geary, and Van Ness, until it reached the E-line trackage at Vallejo. From that point, alternate cars provided service in both directions on the "Exposition Loop" formed by tracks on Union, Steiner, Greenwich, and Scott to Chestnut Street. After the Fair closed, the route operated both directions on Union, Steiner, Greenwich, and Scott to a crossover installed on Chestnut Street. Later, on May 4, 1918 after new tracks were installed on three blocks of Greenwich from Steiner to Baker Street, the D-line joined the E in serving the Presidio, utilizing a unique route following Steiner and Greenwich to avoid the steep grades on outer Union. The "mountain goat" single truck cars of the E could navigate grades that the double-truck cars of the D could not handle.

The F-Stockton was inaugurated on December 29, 1914 from Market and Stockton Streets via Stockton, through a new tunnel drilled between Union Square and Chinatown, then via Columbus, North Point, and Van Ness before it reached its terminal at the Fort Mason Loop. After the Fair, it was re-routed on Van Ness and out Chestnut to Scott. Muni showed flexibility during tthe Fair in adapting to Fairgoers' travel patterns.
Three additional Muni routes were established specifically for the Fair.
Though the dash signs may suggest otherwise, both these URR cars' destination signs indicate they did not go to the Exposition. San Francisco Municipal Railway photo.
An "I" line ran from 33rd and Geary to the Exposition Loop via Geary and Van Ness, making the same loop as the D. Municipal Railway Operating Revenue Logs for FY 1914-15 reveal that, in addition to the first three days of the Fair, it ran on Sundays and holidays, and a few Saturdays, at least through July, 1915. Despite infrequent operation, it generated considerable revenues per day.
A "J" route (not to be confused with the current J-Church) began operations on February 10, 1915, sharing E-line trackage from the Ferry to Columbus and Union, then F-line tracks to Van Ness and the Fort Mason Loop. On July 9, 1915, it was re-routed up Van Ness and out Chestnut to Scott.
Beyond these regular dedicated exposition lines, there is evidence that both Muni and URR diverted service from other lines to the Exposition on particularly heavy demand days. But even when on their normal routes, URR cars operating on the Market, Haight and Sutter Street lines regularly bore "Exposition via Polk St. or Fillmore St." dash signs to encourage transfer to URR Fair routes.
Both URR and Muni installed high-capacity loop terminals to disgorge and load crowds rapidly at various Fair entrances.
To expedite car loading at the Fort Mason Loop, Muni constructed an enclosed temporary station to allow for change making and prepaid boarding of cars. The United Railroads also constructed a loop and high-capacity loading shed on a block of land it owned bordered by Francisco, Polk, Bay, and Van Ness Avenues (now occupied by Galileo Academy of Science and Technology).
Success by any measure
This misidentified URR photo is actually taken from the corner of Francisco and Polk, and shows the construction status of the Exhibition Loop a scant nine days before opening day. San Francisco Municipal Railway photo.
Undoubtedly, the efforts of San Francisco's transportation services contributed to the Fair's success. Both the United Railroads and Muni enjoyed windfall profits from this service as did the Ferry services of both the Key Route and Northwestern Pacific.
The nascent Municipal Railway met the construction and operational challenges of the Exposition while acquiring 125 "B-type" cars that would be the backbone of its fleet for the next forty years. Although construction delays on Muni's "A" and "B" lines along Geary Street raised skepticism, all construction and car deliveries for the Fair were completed ahead of schedule. Throughout the PPIE, the fledgling Muni management staff also gained considerable operational experience in meeting varied service demands.
This photo shows the URR Exhibition loop in operation, including a "32" car (Depot and Exposition). The Yellowstone Lodge and Grand Canyon can be seen to the right near Bay Street and Van Ness Avenue. The Tower of Jewels, rising a mile away in the distance beyond the roller coaster, is opposite the Scott Street main entrance. Photo courtesy BAERA Archives at F.M. Smith Library, Western Railway Museum.
However, the main legacy for Muni was a well-built system connecting the northeastern and north central portions of the city to the Ferry Terminal as well as the financial and retail areas. When the Fair closed, Muni service along the D, E, and F lines fostered the residential developments and retail streets that became known as the northern portion of Cow Hollow and the Marina District.
In the end, the city was left with the route structure upon which streetcars would operate for the next 35 years. Most importantly, by meeting the challenges presented by the Exposition, Muni demonstrated that it was a vital and mature agency of the "City that Knows How".

Produced by: Jesse Bradman Mixed by: Bobby Barth
Previously known as Innocent and released on Escape Music, Jesse Bradman (vocals, keys) returns with friends Bob Gillies and David Sykes in tow to create a new moody melodic rock album.
Mixing a sounds between Night Ranger with Billy Squier on vocals and influences from the bands the other guys were in like Giuffria and Aldo Nova. The album also includes guests Tom Sholz and Brad Delp of Boston, Billy Sheehan and Richie Kotzen.
If you are looking for a punchy hard rock album you might come away a little disappointed as it is not as hard hitting as it could have been, especially given the talent involved.
Considering that the band are almost identical in their line up to their first release Innocent, I was surprised to see the music was quite different.
It is a smoother than expected blend of AOR and rock with a couple of glimpses of the harder edge sound more expected.
I guess a little like the departure to a more mature rock that Von Groove have taken over their Chamelelon album.
The album opens with Let It Out - a rocker in the Feeding Off The Mojo Night Ranger mold.
Heavy, melodic and a little moody. good vocals.
Heart to Heart is immediately not as good, but it grows on you. A mid paced rock song with an unusual feel to it - a little funky even. It also sets the trend for the tempo of the majority of the album. Mid paced and moody.
Lonley Girl is another moody song, mid paced at best, but heavier and with some solid guitar riffs. A strong heartfelt vocal.
Hole In Your Heart is again moody and mid tempo, yet different to the last two tracks - thankfully! No outstanding chorus, the song is OK with some nice smooth vocals, but hard rock fans might begin to wonder about now.
Sister Mercy a slow paced but heavyish ballad. Nice hooks, but the album really needs a rocker about now - big time!!
Powertrippin' is almost it. More lead guitar driven and slightly faster paced and more than a little psychedelic and funky.
Leavin' Home, while not a hard rocker is better again. At this point vocalist Bradman is sounding dead on for Billy Squier and the style probably isn't too far removed fom a squier rocker either. Good solid melodic hard rock track with a catchy chorus.
Now Is The Time is a slow and relatively heavy number with more Squierish vocals. A good Led Zeppelin influenced rocker. Come To Me is harder and a little funky again.
The guys save the three best songs for last. Desire is a track previously demoed by Mark Free and called Naked Desire. It was written by Bob Marlette and Tom Whitlock and is a top class anthem AOR rock track. This version is not as good as the Free demo, but the song is just so good any version would be cool.
Wanna Be Loved is also a good uptempo melodic rocker. Excellent and catchy chorus and a very AOR chorus.
And finally on Hotwired the guys let it go! it rounds out the album with a furious hard rocker that you wished there was more of, especially in the first half of the album.
So with the run down hopefully giving you an idea of the feel and sound of this album, I will add this.
I really like this album and think it is a fine slice of moody melodic AOR. But they have the potential to be much more than that. As good as this album is for what it is - I wish they were getting back into the anthem rockers that their previous bands were famous for.
Still, the production and overall sound is better quality than the Innocent release, even if there is still room for improvement with the production.
Get this if the softer side of things appeals to you. If it is hard rockers you are looking for, keep looking. Check out the soundbytes and judge from that.
|ESSENTIAL FOR: Fans of softer melodic rock and AOR fans.

Immigrants and Unemployment in the European Community
AbstractThis paper examines whether a greater concentration of foreigners increases the likelihood of unemployment in local labor markets among citizens of the European Community. It provides the results of probit equations estimating the likelihood of employment in Europe as a function of a set of explanatory variables that include immigrant concentration in local labor markets. The estimates show a statistically significant, but weak, negative connection between the concentration of foreigners in a local labor market and the likelihood of employment among European citizens residing in that labor market. The results are shown to vary by country within the European Union.

Newfoundland's Electricity Options: Making the Right Choice Requires and Efficient Pricing Regime
AbstractThe Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is assessing whether to authorize the multi-billion dollar Muskrat Falls hydroelectricity project on the lower Churchill River in Labrador. Proponents say it is needed to handle expected increases in electricity consumption. A better first step, however, would be to reform provincial regulations that set artificially low prices for electricity and support excessive power consumption, which is a problem in Newfoundland as it is in other provinces. Changing regulatory regimes so that the price of electricity reflects underlying costs would make economic sense and promote energy conservation. For Newfoundland, such a change could make the expensive Muskrat Falls project unnecessary.

I used to cringe at the use of "alternative" on Atlanta's wine lists – a term once reserved for anything that wasn't pinot noir or Chardonnay. These days, it's different. Now the city boasts lists of affordable wines, ripe for sipping. Here are five of my favorites.
112 Krog St., 404-524-1618, Atlanta
The folks who own Rathbun's have packed a lot of punch (and wine) into 750 square feet – Krog Bar's space may be tiny, but its wine list flows, with more than 50 selections by the glass and a true tapas menu to go with it. I just wish there were more places to sit. Ahh … who cares when you're nibbling prosciutto and sipping Tempranillo?
800 Peachtree St., 404-685-3191, Atlanta
Yes, the new name, prompted by the recent sale from owner Doug Strickland to Hawks player Zaza Pachulia, sounds more like a new designer's clothing line at Target than a restaurant, but Pachulia has been wise enough to leave the wine list alone for the most part. Strickland spent ten years developing what is probably the city's best under-$50 selection, and sipping wine at the bar here is an exploration of global tastes, from over 100 by-the-glass selections in French to Italian, to Spain and back again. Ask for a sip, and you shall receive. Nibble on Top Chef contestant Eli Kirshtein's conceptual "fat kid" cooking while you wile away an evening at the bar.
736 Ponce de Leon Ave., Atlanta, 404-254-1176
I had to include one beer list, and the BookHouse is a hidden gem. Tucked away off Ponce, it's got the kitschy cuteness of a book nook, with the hipness of a hang out. And the kind of beer list a girl can love: Lots of Belgian and American craft beers on tap, including Saison Dupont, McChouffe, St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, plus lost of well-chosen offerings in the bottle. But it's the sweet, sparkly effervescence of Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic that turns my head.
1397 North Highland Ave., Atlanta, 404-347-9747
Changing hands didn't change a thing about chef-owner Ron Eyester's laid-back approach to casual dining. His emphasis is still local, local local, and the great food bears that mark. His wine list is as easy and affordable as the rest of the menu, designated into price points he calls "cheap," ($7), "decent," ($9) and "good" ($14). Dang right. (Look for an all-new review of Rosebud next week.)
1782 Cheshire Bridge Road, Atlanta, 404-347-9055
We knew that Top Chef contestant Kevin Gillespie's high-concept, locally inspired cooking would get him noticed, but who would've guessed that co-owner Nicolas Quinones would prove himself such an accomplished sommelier? The restaurant boasts lost of bargains from around the world, with more than 50 bottles less than $50, and a dozen of them are less than $30.

Gotta add a vote for Cellar 56 in Buckhead. Small but well thought-out list in 3 price ranges, nice by-the-glass selection, and interesting lesser-known choices.

I would like to add the V2 Wine Room at the Vinyeard Wine Market at 2202 Powers Feery Road Atlanta, 30339 Great wines by the glass or by the bottle along with meat and cheese plates at great prices. You can also have food delievered from the surrounding restaurants to have with your wine. The owner Anthony is great and very knowledgeable about all the wines carried. Give it a try sometimes. They also have wine tastings. http://www.thevineyardwinemarket.com

I just wanted to let you know of a new wine retail shop and TAPAS restaurant that is now in Milton, GA. The ambiance is wonderful, and it's the perfect spot for a romantic evening meal , or a great place to hang out with friends. It is an exciting, casual environment with fabulous food! Very friendly staff. Every dish was served at the perfect temp and flawlessly presented. They also have over 150 bottles of wine that can be purchased from their retail side, and the coolest enomatic machines where you can sample wine by the sip, half glass or full glass.. Awesome place!!!

Totally agree Jimmy! Excellent choices. Ecco and La Tavola are two of my favorite lists!
And just to be clear, they are Fifth Group restaurants, not Concentrics.
September 25th, 2009
10:41 am
Top Flr and Abattoir are good candidates for this kind of list too. They both have unique selections @ < $30. Concentrics, specifically Ecco and La Tavola have some well priced and good selections too.

Hi Eli! Thanks for asking. We're doing something a little different this year — an online guide that will include the Restaurant of the Year, my top ten picks, and 10 of my favorite affordable meals. It should arrive on-line the third week of October!! I'll be teasing more on the blog soon!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"Jennie Lees (Ready Check): I wrote about a conversation I had with my mum, who's a casual player, about raiding (specifically, why she doesn't do it). Some of the comments from readers on that are pretty good, too."
I followed that link and when I read it I thought of some advice I would have given to her mother if I had noticed the post in time, but the advice applies to at least some degree here as well, sooo...
Try soloing some lower-level instances. This will depend on your class and level, of course; a class with no healing abilities at all will have to wait a few more levels for something to be soloable than a paladin or druid would. One of those classes could probably solo Gnomeregan at 40, but a rogue might have to wait until 50. Stuff like that. But most of Jennie Lees' mom's questions about grouping at 80 would have been answered by simply doing all the quests in Stratholme. Bosses are tougher than most mobs and usually have adds or unique abilities. Some loot is gear to be equipped, and other loot is worth gold. Controlling mobs (crowd control, killing the mobs that heal or cast fear or stun first, keeping runners from bringing friends) is important. The rest is just manners and a willingness to ask questions if there's something you're wondering about.

UWM's "Book of Rhymes" features nationally-known poets
In its second season, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's annual open-mic talent show, "Book of Rhymes," is growing into one of the city's best poetry and song showcases. This year's event features two nationally recognized artists: comedian, poet and singer Spoken Reason, and UW poet Jasmine Mans.
Mans, 21, shot to stardom in 2010 after her now-infamous performance of the poem "Nicki Minaj" at the school's "Stomp Da Madness" event. Her fiery critique of the rap star sparked a massive online debate, and the video became an Internet sensation, garnering the sociology major national attention and 500,000 views on YouTube. »Read Full Article

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Fit-again Messi in line for Atletico recall
Barcelona's Lionel Messi celebrates his goal during the Spanish Copa del Rey (King's Cup) football match against Getafe at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona on January 8, 2014
Both sides are locked on 49 points having dropped just five points each in 18 league games this season.
Messi made a spectacular return from a hamstring injury on Wednesday as he scored twice as a second-half substitute in the Catalans' 4-0 thrashing of Getafe in the Copa del Rey.
The Argentine's form leaves coach Gerardo Martino with a difficult decision as to who to start up front at the Vicente Calderon.
Brazilian forward Neymar is also available after missing the Getafe game with a bout of gastroenteritis, but the triumvirate of Alexis Sanchez, Pedro Rodriguez and Cesc Fabregas have deputised ably in Messi and Neymar's absence in recent weeks.
Midfielder Xavi Hernandez hailed Messi's return as great news for the club heading into such a busy period on three fronts and believes the competition for places can only be a good thing.
"He doesn't surprise you anymore, but to see him in that form is impressive. He has returned hungry. The important thing is that he has returned in good shape and motivated," he told the Barcelona website.
"We are strong and now that we have both him and Victor (Valdes) back there is a lot of competition and the team is looking pretty good.
"The game against Atletico is vital for the development of the league. It is not definitive but if we were to win it would be a strong signal of intent."
Many believe Saturday will be the acid test of whether Atletico can realistically challenge Barca for the title.
However, midfielder Koke was keen to play down the importance of the clash with a further 19 league games still remaining after the weekend.
"It will be an important game because it is between the top two teams in the league. However, it is only one match and the whole second-half of the season is left, although we realise it is the most important game we have played until now.
"What matters is how you finish the season. It doesn't mean anything if you win this game but end up not achieving your objectives at the end of the season."
Messi's return provides another problem for Diego Simeone's men to contend with, but Koke believes the form of Pedro, Sanchez and Fabregas means that Atletico's watertight defence will have to be at their best no matter who starts.
"If he plays we will need to be careful because he is one of the best players in the world, but Barcelona have a lot of great players and we need to be alert to all of them."
Atletico are hopeful that Uruguayan defender Diego Godin will be fit to play after missing Tuesday's 1-1 draw away to Valencia in the Cup due to a thigh strain.
Should Godin make it, the only big decision for Simeone will be whether to start the out of form David Villa against his old side or go with the free-scoring Raul Garcia alongside top scorer Diego Costa in attack.
No matter the outcome on Saturday, Real Madrid will be able to make ground on at least one of their title rivals when they travel to Espanyol on Sunday.
Los Blancos lie five points off the top of the table and will be confident of closing the gap having not lost in any of their last 11 meetings with the Catalans.
Fixtures (all times GMT)
Athletic Bilbao v Almeria (1500), Celta Vigo v Valencia (1700), Atletico Madrid v Barcelona (1900), Elche v Sevilla (2100)

Judge Strikes Down Pennsylvania Voter ID Law
Posted On 17 Jan 2014 By Gant Team
By Allie Malloy, CNN
(CNN) – A Pennsylvania judge on Friday struck down a law requiring voters in that state to show photo identification at the polls, stating the requirement was an "unreasonable burden."
State Judge Bernard McGinley's ruling comes nearly two years after civil and voters' rights groups challenged the law, which Gov. Tom Corbett signed in March 2012 but never went into effect because of the court case.
"Voting laws are designed to assure a free and fair election; the Voter ID Law does not further this goal," McGinley said in his ruling.

- 3 whole(s) carrots peeled & cut the same size as stew meat
- 1 whole(s) bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
- 1 to 2 cup(s) frozen peas optional
- 1 can(s) orzo cooked in water until al dente
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Put olive oil in a large pan and add butter. Turn the stove to medium high. In the large Ziploc bag put the package of onion soup mix and the flour. Add the stew meat, seal the bag and shake until all sides of the stew meat are covered. Add the meat to the pan. Sear the meat on all sides until it is nice and crusty, but not burned. Turn off stove.
- 2. Pour the beef broth and the crushed tomatoes into the crock pot. Fill the soup can with water and add it to the pot. Add meat just cooked.
- 3. Wash the potatoes and cut them into chunks about the size of the stew meat.
- 4. Wash and peel the carrots and cut them into chunks about the same size as the potatoes and the stew meat.
- 5. Add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Put the lid on let bake for 4-6 hours on low.
- 6. About 20 minutes before you are ready to serve the stew, bring a pot of water to boil for the orzo "maggots". Add 1 cup orzo to the boiling water, return water to a boil, and cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta. Now add your maggots to the stew and enjoy. (Add peas if desired, while pasta is cooking).

Have you ever had one of the conversations with your kid(s) where you're not really sure what happened and left you even more confused than when the conversation had started. This is one of those kind of conversations that I had witnessed not too long ago.

The holiday season. A season where we are reminded that it is better to give than to receive and that the gift shows how much thought and care we put into choosing it for that "special" person. Stressful at the best of times. Even more stressful if you are an executive assistant buying for your boss.This is tricky. Really. Think about it. What are you going to give someone who has everything but still expects to get something? You could give an article of clothing. Very risky. Fashion is a highly personal choice and buying the wrong tie or gloves, for example, isn't going to garner you any warm feelings. And let's not even talk about sweaters, shall we? Jewelry. Almost always a non-starter. Unless the CEO wears cufflinks and you stumble upon a vintage set, stay away from buying your boss jewels. Yes, even earrings. What about wine or spirits? Assuming that alcohol is a gift appropriate for your boss, giving liquor as a gift is just not very imaginative. In fact, you may be judged not on what you bought (it's liquor, for Pete's sake), but on how expensive that bottle of booze was. Plus, it's called booze. Enough said. Then there's the issue of how much to spend. Another decision fraught with peril. Spend too little? Cheap. Spend too much? Extravagant. Perhaps too extravagant. And, if the gift-giving occurs at the holiday party, you're sure to be criticized for obviously trying to suck up to the boss. Either way, others look at the amount you spent, not on what you bought . So what do you do? How's this: Have one or more articles (newspaper or magazine) and/or positive press releases mounted and preserved into custom wall displays. Or find all of the business cards you boss had as he worked his way up the ladder and have them laminated onto a birch wood base. Either way, the result will be a beautiful custom wall plaque that any executive will gladly display with pride. And you can proudly give. Because you have now given a gift that will not only be appreciated by that high-ranking executive but will have a positive impact on company morale as well. A gift that will be fondly remembered for many years to come. Even after you become the executive.
When someone has a personal or professional accomplishment that is printed in the media, a celebration is in order. People get their stories published or make the news for a multitude of reasons and acknowledging that milestone or accomplishment makes the occurrence even more special—you can also make it last forever.
Buying gifts for people is difficult, even for people we know well. For the next special gift giving occasion in your life, consider giving a custom wall plaque that features that special someone from In The News, Inc. We turn news articles, awards, brochures and special recognitions into beautiful custom plaques commemorating when people in our life receive special recognitions.These decorative plaques are perfect for
They seem to have everything already and you don't want to buy yet another set of golf balls, a tacky tie or an impersonal gift card. Plaques highlighting someone's accomplishments are not usually items people buy for themselves. They may feel embarrassed to show off their success in such a visible way even when the accolades are well deserved. However, when these same people receive a gift celebrating their celebrity, they feel honored and appreciated. Giving a plaque featuring someone's accomplishments shows the recipient that you pay attention to him or her. You read the news article, saw the photograph or paid attention to a memorable event in his or her life. Then, you took the time to save the information and have it placed on a decorative plaque. You have just given a gift that not only celebrates the recipient but also shows how much you care.
Think outside of the box, too, when considering a commemorative plaque for a loved one. Did a favorite aunt have a recipe featured in a home and garden magazine? Did a coworker's child get featured in the newspaper? How about your own son or daughter's first published photo or article? These beautiful, professional quality plaques will maintain a place of honor for the recipient who will always think of the gift giver when looking at the plaque.
Congratulations! Your company made a corporate recognition list. Perhaps it's the first time you've made the top one hundred. Maybe it's a move up the numbers on the list. Either way, the company is going places and you want to give an award to the employees that got you there. But what kind of recognition gifts do you give as an award? Not the same gifts that you give every year.

SYSTEMS PHYSIOLOGY 9 THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ANS) ? Controls the Body's Internal Environment in a Coordinated Manner ? The ANS helps control the heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, respiration, blood pH and other bodily functions through a series of complex reflex actions ? These controls are done automatically, below the conscious level ? To exert this control the activities of many different organs must be coordinated so they work to accomplish the same goal AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM In emergencies that cause stress and require us to "fight or flight" (run away) In nonemergencies that allow us to " rest and digest " . AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM Sympathetic Division Preganglionic fibers of SNS emerge from the spinal cord at levels T1- L2. The sympathetic nervous system involves spinal nerves T1 to L2. SNS and PNS work together in reciprocal fashion to regulate body function Parasympathetic Division Preganglionar fibers of PNS are associated with cranial nerves III, VII, IX, X and also emerge from sacral spinal cord at S2- S4. Parasympathetic system is involved in vegetative processes such as digestion as well as homeostatic functions. SNS and PNS work together in reciprocal fashion to regulate body function The ANS: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Differ in Anatomy and Function The sympathetic nerves come from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. The preganglionic nerves are short and synapse in paired ganglia adjacent to the spinal cord ? The adrenal medulla, technically an endocrine gland, is functionally a part of the sympathetic nervous system Adrenal medulla is like a modified autonomic ganglion + postsynaptic nerve The parasympathetic nerves come from the cranial and sacral regions of the CNS. They have long preganglionic nerves which synapse at ganglia near or on the organ innervated Animation: Autonomic nerves Chapter 7 The Peripheral Nervous System: Efferent Division Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood �2010 Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning ANS ? Adrenal medulla is a modified part of sympathetic nervous system ? Modified sympathetic ganglion that does not give rise to postganglionic fibers ? Stimulation of preganglionic fiber prompts secretion of hormones into blood ? About 20% of hormone release is norepinephrine ? About 80% of hormone released is epinephrine (adrenaline) Autonomic Targets ? Smooth Muscle ? Cardiac Muscle ? Exocrine Glands ? Some Endocrine glands ? Lymphoid Tissue ? Adipose AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM ? The 2 branches use the same transmitter, acetylcholine (ACh), in the ganglia. At the organ quite different transmitters are used: ? Parasympathetic = ACh ? Sympathetic = norepinephrine (NE). Note: norepinephrine is the same thing as noradrenaline. ? Note: there are a few sympathetic nerves where the transmitter at the organ is ACh ? Sympathetic fibers releasing ACh: sweat glands, piloerector muscles, some blood vessels Chapter 7 The Peripheral Nervous System: Efferent Division Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood �2010 Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning ANS ? Exceptions to general rule of dual reciprocal innervation by the two branches of autonomic nervous system ? Most arterioles and veins receive only sympathetic nerve fibers (arteries and capillaries are not innervated) ? Most sweat glands are innervated only by sympathetic nerves ? Salivary glands are innervated by both ANS divisions but activity is not antagonistic ? both stimulate salivary secretion Chapter 7 The Peripheral Nervous System: Efferent Division Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood �2010 Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning ANS- Autonomic Efferent Neurons ? Autonomic nerve pathway ? Extends from CNS to an innervated organ ? Two-neuron chain ? Preganglionic fiber neuron- cell body in CNS and synapses with cell body of second neuron. ? Postganglionic fiber (innervates effector organ) Thoracolumbar division (T1 to L2) ? Preganglionic neurons (N1)from thoracolumbar region of spinal cord ? Pre and paravertebral ganglia ? Long postganglionic neurons (N2) secrete NE onto adrenergic receptors Craniosacral Division ? Long preganglionic axons from brain & S2- S4 ? Intramural ganglia ? Postganglionic (nonmyelinated) neurons secrete ACh onto cholinergic muscarinic receptors Chapter 7 The Peripheral Nervous System: Efferent Division Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood �2010 Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning SNS and PSNS features Chapter 7 The Peripheral Nervous System: Efferent Division Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood �2010 Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning Autonomic Neurotransmitter Receptors ? Tissues innervated by autonomic nervous system have one or more of several different receptor types for postganglionic chemical messengers ? Cholinergic receptors ? bind to ACh ? Nicotinic receptors ? found on postganglionic cell bodies of all autonomic ganglia ? Muscarinic receptors ? found on effector cell membranes ? Adrenergic receptors ? bind to norepinephrine and epinephrine ? Alpha (?) receptors ? Beta (?) receptors Cholinergic and Adrenergic Synapses SYMPATHETIC PATHWAY AT SPINAL CORD Most Common Autonomic NTs: ? Acetylcholine (ACh) ACh neurons & ACh receptors are called cholinergic (nicotinic or muscarinic). Located at autonomic preganglionic & para-sympathetic postganglionic synapses ?

- Topic: Programming & Services - Children
- Level: Elective
- Sponsor: Idaho Commission for Libraries
- Format: self paced online
- Contact Hours: 3
Course Objectives:
Working in a school library or public library's youth services department is both a challenging and rewarding experience.
School and public libraries and library staff in particular have the potential to positively affect the lives of children and families.
A strong youth services department includes a staff of creative, fun-loving, motivated, and dedicated individuals who draw from a variety of backgrounds and seek new strategies and ideas in order to provide diverse materials and institute effective services to children, parents, teachers, adult caregivers, and child-serving agencies.
Staff should provide and recommend quality, interesting materials for emergent readers (pre-readers), and beginning readers as well as "practicing" readers, consequently making reading enjoyable. This will ensure continued development and enjoyment, ultimately creating a lifelong connection to the library and to learning.
Staff should match quality reference and fiction materials, including computers and other media, with quality reference and reader's advisory service to school aged children, effectively supplementing school curricula and at the same time implanting a positive view of the library as a "place to be."
This course will either introduce or serve as a review to basic components of service to the school-aged:

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Retribution paladins are almost always the first target, or the target people make a hard switch to. Even with 1000 resilience you have to line of sight just to stay alive for a reasonable amount of time. If you used more than say 2 pieces of PvE gear you'd be seriously hindering your survivability. If you play against a priest bubble is instantly dispelled.
Spamming cleanse as a ret paladin is a double edged sword, it is a complete waste of a global cool down if it fails, and against some classes (mages) you can end up cleansing 5 times before what you need cleansed is cleansed. This begins to become a mana issue then, and also a time issue, if a root only lasts 4 seconds, why waste the mana and global CD's trying to cleanse it off if it might just break on its own before you actually cleanse it...
This is an interesting article, however you really need to play each of the specs at a high level before you can really make such generalizations about them.
C.Christian.Moore said...
Hi Aleve,
I think you're misunderstanding the point of this article. This is
for beginners who just want a general grasp of what to do in arenas.
As for some of your information, it's just wrong. Unless you're
playing on a very all-around survivable team composition (ala TSG), a
retribution paladin will be one of the worst targets on any given
team. Plate alone is a deterrent to physical dps classes.
As for 'spamming Cleanse,' I don't think that was what I wrote, nor
was it my intention.
As for "you really need to play each of the specs at a high level
before you can really make such generalizations about them," this is
completely unfounded.
You don't need to be a professional baseball player to know the rules
of the game. You don't need to have been a professional baseball
player at one point in your life to be a manager, umpire, or owner.
Does it help? Sure, arguably it does.
That being said, I've gotten multiple rank one titles with my
teammates being extremely diverse. I've played with rank one
retribution paladins, so from an experience standpoint I feel I'm
probably qualified to talk about what differentiates an amazing ret
paladin from a good one.

The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a minor league deal with RHP Shunsuke Watanabe of Japan. He will attend the team's spring training and play the role of reliever, according to ESPN.
Watanabe, 37, has spent his entire 13-year career with the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league. Primarily a starter, he has a career record of 87-82 with a 3.65 ERA.
This past season Watanabe went 0-4 with a 4.62 ERA in six games, all starts, for Chiba Lotte.
Watanabe pitched on both of Japan's World Baseball Classic championship teams in 2006 and 2009.
But that wasn't the only move the Sox made on Tuesday.
In addition, the Red Sox agreed to release the contract of right-handed pitcher Chris Carpenterto the Yakult Swallows of the Nippon league in exchange for cash.
Carpenter, along with righty Aaron Kurcz, was part of the compensation the Red Sox received from the Cubs for allowing Theo Epstein out of his contract.
After both losing and gaining players this offseason, the World Series champions are looking to retain a championship-caliber team for next season.

Arizona Cardinals
Kicker Jay Feely wants to be back with Arizona Cardinals
Jay Feely had an up and down 2013 season with the Arizona Cardinals.
The veteran kicker made 30-of-36 field goal attempts, but had crucial misses in losses to St. Louis and San Francisco. Wins in those games likely would have made the Cardinals a playoff team.
Feely is also a free agent, making his future in the Valley very much an uncertainty. However, there is no mystery surrounding where Feely would like to play in 2014.
"I'm hopeful to be back with Arizona," Feely told Doug and Wolf Thursday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "We've talked this week and hopefully we'll get something done before free agency starts.
"I was disappointed with how the season ended last year and obviously they were disappointed in the last game -- you know, missing those two kicks -- and that kind of sticks with you, it sticks with everybody, but I've been very happy with the way that I've felt, the way that I've progressed in my career, and hopefully I get a chance."
In four years with the Cardinals, Feely has connected on 85.2 percent (98-of-115) of his field goal attempts and has yet to miss an extra point (124-of-124).
"The one thing I told (general manager) Steve Keim was that I love the direction of this team. I love the make-up, the leaders, the young guys at key positions throughout most of this team both offensively and defensively," Feely said. "I think it's primed for some really exciting things and I want to be a part of that."
